You're in for such a treat with today's episode! I've brought on the wonderful Shanna Skidmore to talk about something that's so close to my heart: how to work less, mom more, and still hit your goals.In this episode, she shares why you don't need a nap time hustle, a 40-hour workweek, or a “passive income” empire to run a profitable business as a mom. In fact, she's pulling back the curtain on how she built (and rebuilt) a multi-six-figure business while raising two kids and working just 15–20 hours a week. From burning out before she even had babies to doubling down on her core philosophy of defining enough, this episode is full of mindset shifts, financial strategies, and practical systems that have helped her grow revenue without losing her sanity (or her Sundays). If you've ever felt like you're constantly behind, or you're struggling to balance business growth with motherhood, this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, grounded, and equipped with practical steps to create your own version of success.Links mentioned: Read the Shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/322 Sign Up For Shanna's Free Class with 6 Money Moves to Make in 2025 to Cozy Up with Your Business's Numbers (Without Spreadsheet Meltdowns or Budgeting Burnout): https://shannaskidmore.com/watch Grab Shanna's Simple One Year Business Budget: https://shop.shannaskidmore.com/one-year-business-budget-template Grab Shanna's Simple One Year Home Budget: https://shop.shannaskidmore.com/one-year-personal-budget-template Toggl Time Tracking Tool: https://elizabethmccravy.com/toggl Ep. 127 What Work-Life Balance really looks like as a mom & CEO: https://shannaskidmore.com/how-to-balance-motherhood-and-business/ Take my Showit template quiz (and get free Canva templates!): https://elizabethmccravy.com/quiz Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethmccravy/   Shop Showit templates: https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop Join me inside Booked Out Designer: https://elizabethmccravy.com/bod Sign up for Podcast Success Blueprint: https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb   Thanks to our sponsor, Christian Healthcare Ministries!

In this episode, I'm diving deep into an essential question for aspiring entrepreneurs: What should your membership program actually include? Inspired by questions from dedicated listener and Startup Society member Cheryl Kosner, I'm providing valuable insights for those considering launching or enhancing their own membership offerings.I start with my own journey of creating a successful membership program, discussing the struggle that comes with deciding how much content is necessary before launching, as well as the importance of validating ideas through market research and initially adopting a minimalist approach, which goes hand-in-hand with structuring content to keep members engaged without overwhelming them. We all want to avoid a tiresome content treadmill!I highlight various phases of my membership's growth, beginning with the launch in 2018. I explain how I navigated various changes to create a sustainable program that grows alongside its members.If you're curious about how to manage content creation without burning out, you'll learn my key strategies that have allowed me to maintain quality without the constant need to produce new materials each week. I stress the importance of solid training that members can access at their own pace and show how a membership's value doesn't solely rely on the frequency of new content. Instead, sustaining engagement through community interaction and live events holds significant value, ensuring members find ongoing reasons to remain subscribed.This episode will provide you with practical insights like:- Effective strategies for launching a membership program tailored to member needs- Key decisions surrounding content creation and ongoing development- Tips for balancing content production with member engagement to avoid burnout- Ways to create lasting value in a membership beyond just new tutorials or coursesIf you're considering starting or improving your own membership program, tune in for a candid conversation that paves the way for you to build a thriving community and financial independence without sacrificing your freedom.Chapters:0:00: What should your membership actually include?1:31: The Freedom of Entrepreneurship5:19: Phases of Content Development10:01: Shifting to Guest Experts13:03: Creating Sustainable Membership Models18:59: Listener Questions and Wrap-UpWant to quit your job in the next 6-18 months with passive income from selling digital products online?

Watch all our Podcasts on YouTube ? Do you feel like you're constantly re-explaining the same things to new hires and still crossing your fingers they don't mess it up? If you're nodding, you're not alone and it's not your fault. Most pet business owners were never taught how to train people, and now you're stuck in a cycle of “watch me and hope for the best.” But hope is not a hiring strategy and it's definitely not a training plan. In this episode of Bella in Your Business, I'm breaking down exactly how to build a pet business staff training program that actually works, without you having to micromanage every detail or babysit your team. You'll learn how to create a 2-day training program that's rooted in psychology, supports every type of learner, and makes your business run like the legit brand it's meant to be. And spoiler alert: good training isn't about hand-holding, it's about creating clarity, confidence, and culture. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The truth about how people learn Shadowing isn't a strategy Build a 2-Day powerhouse training The psychology of a good training program How to use your training process as a marketing and hiring advantage Timestamps [00:45] – The harsh truth about shadowing and why “hope” isn't a strategy [02:20] – The 5 learning styles your team may be missing in training [07:10] – Why shadowing alone causes confusion, ghosting, and stress [09:40] – How to build a two-day training system that actually works [14:20] – The emotional psychology behind confident, loyal staff Notable Quotes “Shadowing isn't training. It's saying, ‘figure it out' without actually saying it.” “You're not just training a body. You're training a brain and a belief.” “Clarity is kindness for your staff, for your clients, and for you.” Resources & Links Pet Care Team Training – (Bella's co-owned platform for quick, effective pet sitter certifications) Book a Coaching Call – 20-minute no-pressure strategy session with Bella Join the Mastermind – Where hiring and training support gets real Bella's 10-Step Hiring & Training Process – Everything you need to build your dream team Transcript Welcome everybody to another episode of Bella in Your Business. My name is Bella Vasta. Today we're gonna talk about something that literally keeps so many of you up at night wondering, how am I gonna get through this? And it's all about how to train staff for a pet sitting business. And I'm just gonna say it, this episode might sting a little, but I say all of this with my mama-bear love for you. If your pet business staff training is basically just “shadow me and we'll see how you do” or “just go off with one another sitter and see what they do,” then you're living on a hope and a prayer and you know what I always say, hope ain't a strategy. Okay, so let's be real for a second. I know what you're thinking: “Bella, I don't have time to build all this out,” or maybe it's like, “If I invest the energy into all of this, they just leave.” And when I hire someone, just like hope that they're gonna stay with me.

It has never been a better time to devise an entire training program for your company because you can do it in a day using AI the right way, all right? Right now, you're probably spending more time fixing mistakes, re-explaining things, getting stressed over whether your staff is going to mess up a client's dog. And that's not sustainable. It's not scalable. And it's definitely not the business you've been dreaming of. You're probably in this stage right now where you're like, “I got into this business because I love pets.” And now you've realized that you need to be a trainer of people. Wait—what? Yeah, that's the harsh truth. But today I'm gonna help support you,

CPA and financial planner Deb Meyer breaks down why most video business owners struggle financially and stay stuck on what she calls "the hamster wheel." She explains the crucial difference between revenue and profit, why separate bank accounts can save your business, and how to avoid nasty tax surprises that can cripple your cash flow. Key Takeaways Set up separate bank accounts for taxes, contractor expenses, and operating costs to avoid accidentally spending money that's already allocated Focus on profit margins (aim for at least 30%) rather than just top-line revenue numbers Get proactive tax planning to avoid surprise bills—a good CPA should give you quarterly projections, not April surprises Before buying any equipment or hiring staff, ask yourself if it will actually make you money or save you time that translates to revenue About Deb Meyer Deb Meyer, CFP®, CPA, and CEPA, is the award-winning author of Redefining Family Wealth, host of the Beyond Budgets® podcast, and founder of WorthyNest®, a fee-only, fiduciary wealth management firm that guides parents through important financial decisions using a values-based approach.

The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Hollywood and the media often paint a glamorous, high-speed picture of police work. But as Len Herstein, a Reserve Deputy in Colorado, reveals, the truth is far more complex, and far more human. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “It's far more boring, far more dangerous, and far more impactful on your mental and physical health than most people realize,” Len says during a special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, now available on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many other podcast platforms. This is The Truth About Being a Cop, a story about service, sacrifice, and the lessons policing can teach us all about vigilance, leadership, and life. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Late Calling to Serve At age 45, Len Herstein traded business meetings for patrol briefings. After decades in marketing and entrepreneurship, he joined the Douglas County Sheriff's Office as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff, a volunteer position that requires up to 850 hours of service per year.

A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast “I do police work for free,” Len explains. “People think I'm crazy when they hear that, but for me, it's about giving back. It's about being part of the solution.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Douglas County, Colorado is located between Denver and Colorado Springs, it is one of the fastest-growing areas in the state. For Len, it's also a classroom for learning lessons that reach far beyond the badge. “Complacency Kills” — The Lesson That Changed Everything Early in his training, Len learned one of the most important principles in law enforcement: “Complacency kills.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “When you stop paying attention, when you assume things are safe, that's when the danger strikes,” he says. “That lesson hit me hard, and it applies to every part of life and business.” This revelation became the inspiration behind his book, Be Vigilant! Strategies to Stop Complacency, Improve Performance, and Safeguard Success, where Len connects lessons from policing to the world of leadership and marketing. The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Lessons for Business, Marketing, and Leadership Before becoming a Deputy, Len spent more than 30 years in the corporate world, building brands for Coca-Cola, Campbell Soup Company, and Nabisco. He later founded ManageCamp Inc., where he produced 19 annual Brand ManageCamp marketing conferences, attracting leaders from companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. But his time in law enforcement taught him something no boardroom ever could. “Policing forces you to be aware, to anticipate threats before they appear,” Len says. “That's exactly what businesses need to survive in today's world. Complacency can be fatal, whether you're on the street or in the C-suite.” His blend of law enforcement experience and marketing expertise has made him a sought-after speaker and thought leader, teaching organizations how to build vigilance into their culture and operations. Why Complacency Is the Real Enemy “Success can be deadly,” Len explains. “When things are going well, you stop looking for threats. You stop improving.” The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast.  He warns that complacency doesn't just affect performance, it affects people. It can lower morale, waste money, and create the kind of blind spots that competitors exploit. “The same mindset that keeps a cop alive can keep a company thriving,” Len adds. “Vigilance isn't paranoia, it's preparation.” These lessons resonate across industries, especially in a digital landscape where Facebook, Instagram, and social media marketing can shift overnight. “Online, one wrong move can damage your brand,” he says. “Vigilance protects both reputations and relationships.” The Human Side of the Badge Herstein's experience as a Reserve Deputy in Colorado also sheds light on the emotional and psychological toll of the job. “You see the best and worst of humanity, sometimes in the same shift,” he shares. “It's not just about enforcing laws; it's about understanding people, de-escalating conflict, and protecting those who can't protect themselves.” He believes those same principles, humility, empathy, and awareness, are vital for leaders in every field. “If you lead a team, you're responsible for their safety and success,” he says. “That's what policing teaches you every single day.” The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and founder of Pause Breathwork, Samantha Skelly, for a deeply honest and soulful conversation about evolution, alignment, and faith in both life and business. Samantha shares how her journey as an entrepreneur has transformed into a spiritual assignment—one rooted in artistry, service, and surrender. We talk about what it means to evolve past old versions of success, let go of what no longer feels aligned, and allow business to become a living, breathing expression of who you truly are. We also dive into the importance of slowing down, receiving support, and making peace with change. Samantha opens up about the role faith and prayer have played in her life, her return to her Christian roots, and how she's learned to invite God into her business decisions. This episode is an inspiring reminder that your evolution is sacred, your alignment is your greatest strategy, and peace comes when you finally trust that you are exactly where you're meant to be.

And so no matter if it's relationships, business, what have you, if there's something that just keeps being that spiritual sandpaper for you, you've gotta really ask yourself like, what am I tolerating here? And just simply put, raise the standard.” - Julie Solomon  “  I couldn't see a pathway of it being something else. And I think I had an ego layering on that because my ego was like, “well, surely we can't simplify because then the revenue will drop, and if the revenue drops, then we're not gonna continually grow. And what's that gonna do?” So I had to love fiercely, the part of me that was trying to take over by telling me to keep scaling and what I mean by that is like, not destroy it, not cut it off, not badmouth it, but just love the little girl inside of me that's like, “I wanna keep growing. What if I don't? Who am I gonna upset?” - Samantha Skelly  RESOURCES:

This decision can often feel overwhelming, but I'm breaking it down into four distinct methods tailored to different personalities and thinking styles, empowering you to begin your channel with confidence.First, we explore the **Intersection Method**, a visual approach using a Venn diagram to find alignment between your passions, skills, and trending topics on YouTube. By combining what you love, what you excel at, and what's popular, you'll uncover channel ideas that are both compelling and marketable.Next, we examine the **Strategy First Method** for those who thrive on research. This method focuses on identifying popular but underserved niches. You'll analyze existing content to find opportunities that align with your interests, using tools like vidIQ and UberSuggest to gather insightful data for a strong channel foundation.Then, we discuss the **Backwards Engineered Business Method (BEB Method)**, essential for entrepreneurs using YouTube for marketing. This unique strategy starts with your end goals, guiding you to create content that aligns with your product or service, ensuring sustainable growth.Lastly, we cover the **Lab Method**, emphasizing experimentation. This approach allows you to test various video ideas while maintaining a consistent posting schedule, helping you identify what resonates best with your audience without committing to one concept too early.Throughout this episode, I share personal stories and practical steps for each method, encouraging you to overcome analysis paralysis and confidently launch your YouTube journey.If you're ready to dive in and start your YouTube channel, this episode offers the guidance and tools to make your ideas a reality.
