Today, We’re Continuing to Talk About Support for Mama Entrepreneurs.

Being a entrepreneurial mama requires a supportive community in order to stay sane and be successful.

In last week’s episode, I introduced you to Katya Libin and today we’re continuing our conversation about how she helps women just like you find the support they need.

In This Episode:

Katya Libin is the Co-Founder of Heymama; a global community for entrepreneurial mamas.

After attending college with the intent of becoming a lawyer, Katya quickly found herself being one of the top sales staff at an emerging tech company working with brands like Nike, Victoria’s Secret, and American Express to name a few.

After she unexpectedly found herself pregnant while all her friends were still partying it up in New York City, she realized she felt alone in her personal life and unfulfilled in her professional one.

After meeting her current business partner, and fellow mama, she discovered that a connection to other business-minded mama’s was what she had been missing.

[Tweet “Being a entrepreneurial mama requires a supportive community in order to stay sane and be successful.”]

Why You Can Expect:

In this episode, Katya talks about the need to have confidence as both an entrepreneur and mother, why we shouldn’t be intimidated by the unknown, the importance of democratizing information, knowledge, and experiences, and more!

After meeting her current business partner, and fellow mama, she discovered that a connection to other business-minded mama’s was what she had been missing.

Are You Truly Creating A Life-First Business?

There are a lot of misconceptions about what a lifestyle entrepreneur is.

We don’t all want to drive our convertible Ferrari’s to the airport where a private jet is waiting to whisk off us to our own private island.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I certainly complain if that were to actually happen, but that’s not even close to the reason I created my life-first business and I’m guessing you agree.

Your business is about your dreams. It’s up to you to figure out what those dreams really are and then design your business around them.

In This Episode:

It’s a pretty safe bet the vast majority of entrepreneurs prefer to have a business that allows them to spend time with their families, live their passions, and fulfill their purpose.

If the same is true for you, it’s never too early to begin designing your business around those things.

That’s why I’m discussing some things you’ll need to think about during that design process.

[Tweet “Your business is about your dreams.”]

Why You Can Expect:

In this episode, I provide four strategies that will help you build a life-first business that truly meets your needs.

Do You Currently Treat Your Family Like A Business?

It may sound a little odd, but if you don’t currently treat your family, specifically it’s finances, like a business, you should.

My guest in this special episode, Natali Morris, is a broadcaster, writer, speaker, co-founder and CFO of Morris Invest, and a former news anchor who has worked for NBC, CBS, and The Today Show.

According to Natali, you cannot save your way to wealth. You have to buy it.

The traditional views of preparing for retirement by pouring money into your 401k are outdated.

If you truly want to build wealth, or even just make sure your family is taken care of as you start a new business endeavor, you have be creative with your money.

[Tweet “You cannot save your way to wealth. You have to buy it.”]

What Can You Expect?

Entrepreneurship by design means creating a business that allows you to live your ideal lifestyle instead of keeping you from it.

Making a few simple, but critical, changes in your business can help completely turn things around so you never have to miss another moment with your family.

Do You Have a Clear Understanding of Your Voice of Influence?

My guest this week is someone that I absolutely adore! I’ve known Andrea Wenburg for a little while and I’m even working with her in a professional capacity so I can have a better understanding of my voice of influence and how I can use that to stand out in a crowded niche.

Why You Should Tune In?

In today’s online marketplace, there are amazing new businesses, coaches, and consultants popping up all the time. Almost every niche these days is saturated and, unless you have a way to make yourself stand out among the crowd, your business might not be around for long.

Having a clear understanding of who are, what you have to say, and how you’re going to say it will stop you from being generic and forgettable.

If you’re failing to stand out in your niche, have a generic message, or are just not quite at the level of income you expected to be at by this point in your entrepreneurial journey … make sure you really listen to what Andrea has to say in this powerful interview.

[Tweet “Having a clear understanding of who are, what you have to say, and how you’re going to say it will stop you from being generic and forgettable.”]

What Can You Expect?

In this episode, you learn how having a clear understanding of your voice of influence will help improve your bottom line, how to turn your burdens into your passion and then into a business, and you’ll hear about the incredible new opportunity for how you can learn from Andrea herself.

It’s officially August so we’re switching gears from the relaxing summer topics we’ve been discussing, and diving back into business building strategies.

Do you have too many ideas?

You’re a creative… and you’re never lacking new ideas and problems to solve. This is what makes you a great, typical, entrepreneur. It’s also what is required to successfully develop unique, innovative products that people want and will rely on.

But if you’re someone who always has new ideas for your business (floating around inside your head), to the point where it becomes overwhelming and you’re not sure what to do first…

This episode is for you.

Why is this important for your business?

Having too many ideas isn’t a problem –

It’s when you’re spread too thin, that creativity can start to slow you down. If your amazing ideas are sidetracking you, you’ll relate and appreciate this episode.

Multitasking, in business development, is not your friend. Learning how to focus and organize your thoughts and ideas will allow you to see which ideas you should follow, help you become much more productive, and help you find consistent work hours.

What can you expect?

In today’s episode, I explain how the Splashdown technique helps me organize my thoughts and how you can utilize this technique as well. Give it a try.

[Tweet “Multitasking, in business development, is not your friend.”]
