Join other Female Christian Leaders! I'd like to invite you to come and join a community of female Christian leaders who are all seeking to glorify God in their leadership roles. Women like you are also dealing with difficult people who might be in their very first leadership role, seeking others to connect with. Come over, and let's discuss things like team dynamics, Christian leadership, and so many more topics.   Once a fortnight, I'll be going live in the FB group and provide a short training that I won't be featuring on the podcast, so you don't want to miss out!   Simply navigate to womenoffaithinleadership.com   Let's define confidence confidence ≠ being loud or extroverted. It's trust in one's abilities and God-given purpose. A perfect example of this is ESTHER.    Leading with Boldness Bold leadership comes from aligning with God's will, not from trying to be someone you're not. Stop trying to please others, only aim to please GOD. Practical strategies: Listening more than speaking. Leaning into strengths instead of comparing weaknesses. Seeking wisdom and courage through prayer and scripture.   Overcoming Self-Doubt Explore root causes of self-doubt (comparison, fear of failure, perfectionism). Strategies to combat self-doubt: Daily affirmations grounded in scripture (e.g., "I can do all things through Christ"). Remembering past wins as evidence of God's faithfulness. Surrounding yourself with supportive and honest accountability partners. Remember making mistakes is okay! Confidence grows with practice and trust in God.   Your Challenge:  take one bold step this week (e.g., speak up in a meeting, pray aloud in a group).   Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”   Have a listener question?

As entrepreneurs, selling our products and services sometimes feels like we are selling ourselves. And when we don't land that sale, it can feel like a direct rejection of us. This is a lesson that can take months, years or even decades to learn!In today's episode, I speak with Jonathan Schmitz, a sales coach, consultant, and corporate sales trainer based out of Houston, Texas. After a 10 year, Hall of Fame career in direct sales with the Cutco Corporation and Vector Marketing, he now helps others grow and scale their sales processes sustainably, and in a way that prevents long-term burnout and turnover. We talk about the emotional distinction between yourself and your product. Because rejection is just a part of sales. We talk about scheduling fun. Each week, plan around the things that make you the happiest because it makes YOU happy, but also gives you the power to say no to the things that will not push you forward. Reward yourself along the way. Life is too short to grind for 20+ years. He teaches his clients to schedule through a methodology called Big Rock, Small Rock, Sand. This is one of the most beautiful analyses I have ever heard because it is game-changing! No matter how busy you are, there is always time for a beer with a friend. This analogy will really help you decide what is making you happy, what is pushing you forward, and what holds you back. Scheduling is everything. In this episode:- How to plan in life for what matters- How to reach your goals by scheduling for success- How to prioritize yourself Your Challenge this week:1. Start scheduling to succeed.2.

The Thriveology Podcast For Thrive Nation

Life is a challenge, isn't it? I don't think I am saying anything that is a surprise these days. We've been dealing with a pandemic now for over 2 years. For many people, that has led to many challenges throughout life. Which brings me to my word for 2022. Each year, my family chooses one word to live into for the year. And this year, my word is Challenge. Not just to acknowledge the challenge of these days, but to claim that I am going to live into and lean into the challenge! Even without a pandemic, life would still be a challenge. Why? Because that is the nature of life. Life challenges us. We can see it as an obstacle. We can even stomp our feet and proclaim that “it shouldn't be this hard.” But that won't change the fact that life is just a challenge. So, philosophically, I just acknowledge and accept that it is a challenge. Not an obstacle; a challenge. Also, I need a challenge. If I don't have something to take on, some challenge to work toward, I tend to get stagnant. I've learned this several times over this past year. Looking back, I see the challenges along the way. I see how they have helped me to grow and expand. A challenge is part of my growth. But guess what? That is true for all of us. Our bodies and minds have evolved to be at their best when under a challenge. Too little challenge, and the body weakens. So does our brain. So does our mind. Which is why I will also be doing more challenges (of myself and of clients) in the coming year. What is YOUR challenge?

Entrepreneurship doesn't have to be a lonely road anymore.This week's guests (and the first guests on the Employee To Boss Podcast!!!!) are Teri and Sarah, founders of Females Who Side Hustle, a community for like-minded motivated females to connect, feel support, and gain resources. Their mission is to create a space for meaningful connections through open conversations and shared experiences. In this episode, we talk all about the struggles that entrepreneurs face, how to tell your friends and family about your side hustle, and how to get brand partnerships!Why is there such a shame about having a side hustle? Having a side hustle should not be a hush-hush situation. It can literally feel scarier to tell your boss or your mom about your side hustle than telling a random stranger on the internet. Just because you have a side hustle does not mean that you want to leave your job (most of the time) you just have different cups to fill.The vibes between Sarah and Teri are unreal and they have such a cool “coming together” story. Not only are they are 10 years apart in age, but Sarah was also once Teri's post-grad student. Once the duo became colleagues, they really connected and decided to start a business. Teri started her first side hustle 10+ years ago and after being on maternity leave, she felt super alone in business. She wanted a partner-in-side hustle, reached out to Sarah, and after a coffee date, Females Who Side Hustle was born. They both wanted something more than just their 9-5. They wanted to express themselves creatively and wanted to create a space for women to build their network across industries and find conversations that inspire them along the way.The goal is to bring more females to the table, ditch competition, and encourage all to lift each other up and collaborate. While normalizing the struggles entrepreneurs face in doing itall between business and life. You should tell people about your side hustle, it is impressive.They started with just a few hundred followers, and since their launch in 2019, they have grown to a community of over 10k, organically!Topics in this episode:Comparison is death to your businessHow to find a business partnerHow to tell people about your side hustle because it can be scaryHow to get brand partnerships Your Challenge this week:Just start - get that Instagram, get that email addressBe consistent and just go with the flow including the ups and downsLead with your side hustle.

One of the Most Overlooked Assets in a Small Business Owner's Portfolio

Last week's episode was about the stress that happens when you're trying to make a proposal and how to avoid relying on that one piece of paper in order to make the sale. This week, in part two,  I'm going to dig deeper into something that most service providers, entrepreneurs, coaches, and others who are making service-based sales don't often think about: client retention and the impact it has on your income and profit.   You may think that the only way to generate more income and increase your revenue and profit, is to get more clients in your business. But sometimes getting more clients is actually not the way to go because that's what leads to burnout, stress, and getting overwhelmed. Hello, spread thin entrepreneur! Strengthen Your Relationship With Existing Clients  A better way to increase your sales is to build stronger relationships and get more profit share from the clients you already have. When you have multiple clients, you have to understand multiple different businesses but at some point, if you're a service provider, it's just not scalable. And if you're selling an online course, a membership, or you're selling high-ticket sales, then it's really a matter of having a great client list, going deeper with them and getting more wallet share.  An Overlooked Asset in Your Portfolio? Client retention is often one of the most overlooked assets in a small business owner's portfolio. And by portfolio, I mean the portfolio of things that you, as a small business owner, are doing on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Most entrepreneurs have sales growth on their to-do list and you might even have measurable outcomes that have to do with sales, but it's not common to see entrepreneurs who associate client retention tasks with growing their profit . And I wonder, is it even something you think about?   When you have a service-based business, (copywriting services, podcast agency services, social media services, etc)., retention is a really big part of that. Because even as you grow, if you lose too many clients, then it won't feel like growth at all. Retention must be on your list. The Difference between Customer Service and Client Retention While some entrepreneurs don't think about retention at all, there are other business owners who stress about this all day long and equate client retention to customer service. But, the fact is, even the best customer service does not guarantee client retention. It's really a matter of building customer loyalty. And that is not only based on the services you provide, but it's based on you creating the ‘stickiness' so that your clients aren't just clients. Sure, they're happy and they've been wow'd by your service. But you don't just want a happy client, you want a loyal client that will refer you to others over and over again.  That's how your business grows.  Creating Customer Loyalty A lot of people think that in order to create happy and loyal customers you need to provide services 24/7/365. If your client is emailing you at 10 o'clock at night on Sunday, you may feel like you need to respond right away, even though you're busy trying to live your life. But, that's not necessarily going to make the difference. What will make a difference is when you start realizing that client retention leads to more business, more referrals, and more loyalty. When you look at it as a sales tool.    So just like you sold them in the beginning, you need to continue to “sell them”  on staying with you. As an entrepreneur, you should always be selling. But, it doesn't mean you need to be salesy. Salesy is never a good thing. Ask yourself: How close are you becoming with your clients? Are you developing a solid relationship? How much value are you offering? How much value do your clients perceive?   You don't have to get close on a personal level if you don't want to, but getting personal and creating an actual real relationship helps. Because most people like to buy from people they like. So why not be liked by them? Why not have an actual relationship with them that makes business more fun? Plus, it's way more fun to do business with people you like!    Your Challenge  What are you doing on a continuous basis to show your clients the value that you're delivering? For example, if you're an ad agency, and you're getting paid on a monthly retainer, then you need to show the results you're getting for them each month - what were your goals, did you meet them, what are you going to do to get there faster, better, stronger, etc. Instead of just being the busy bee worker in the background, stay in touch with your clients regularly to let them know the progress of the work you're doing for them. Doing so will make everything clear about what has been done so far and what still needs to be done to hit the goals faster, effectively, and efficiently.    Becoming a Trusted Advisor Leads to Client Retention Let the data tell the story. When I was working in software sales, I had an account manager on my team and the account manager would do account reviews with my clients. Then, I would show up to all account reviews after talking to the account manager in advance. During the meeting, we would look at the actual data to see how they were doing. Then, the account manager and I would strategize on what the next plan would look like, and what they need to do to move forward over the next three months, six months, next year. We were constantly reconfiguring it based on their data so that we could get them the best results in the fastest way.   Now, you may be wearing all the hats where you are both the account manager and the salesperson, but you need to make sure you are seen as a trusted advisor. And the best way to do that is, to be honest.    Therefore, you need to be looking at the actual data so that you can make informed decisions with regards to the next step that you and your customer need to take. And when you speak from the data, it's going to be so much easier. There are so many freelancers and service providers out there who are not even having these data-driven meetings. What kind of data-driven meeting do you need to start incorporating into your day so you can focus on client retention?    While answering a text message late at night or on the weekend and going above and beyond is great, it does not secure client loyalty. It might add to overall satisfaction and it might help, but in order to improve client loyalty, present the results you're getting for your clients, sell and resell your clients by showing them the progress and doing things that remind them why they hired you and how you're getting the job done. When done right, your clients won't have any reason to talk to your competitors because you're constantly presenting them the data that they need to know and show them that together, you are achieving great results.
