Are You Feeling Overwhelmed Launching Your Business?

You’re ready to design and control your life; to travel, spend more time with your family, and stop the daily 9-5 grind.

I totally get it!

Here’s the thing… you have to actually launch your business before you can control your life.

And to successfully launch your business, you need to have intentional “tunnel vision”.

In This Episode:

If you keep experiencing problems while trying to launch your business, it doesn’t mean you’re failing as an entrepreneur.

Launching a business can be confusing, overwhelming, expensive, time-consuming, and stressful … if you’re not smart about it.

You just need a plan that will take you from start to launch in a strategic way, and that’s exactly what I’m breaking down for you today.

[Tweet “If you keep experiencing problems while trying to launch your business, it doesn’t mean you’re failing as an entrepreneur.“]

In this episode you’ll learn:

The three focused stages of launching your business.

Your Business Needs a Purpose

There’s been a recent shift away from a complete separation of business and purpose.

This shift is due to the fact that more and more consumers are choosing to give their money to brands and companies with missions or beliefs that align with their own.

To consumers, why you do what you do is now more important than what you actually do.

In This Episode:

Earth Day is rapidly approaching and, as an environmental activist and non-profit founder, I felt it was important to help you understand how to make your business one that truly matters and connects with your ideal clients and customers on a deeper level.

So, this week, we’re talking about three simple ways to infuse more meaning and purpose into what you do with your business.

[Tweet “To consumers, why you do what you do is now more important than what you actually do.“]

Why You Can Expect:

In this episode, I talk about:

The importance of sharing your why in the form of a Statement of Beliefs
Why you should give first in addition to giving back
How you can give of your time in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming

The Lifestyle Entrepreneur’s Yearly Calendar

It’s taken me 15 years to perfect the art of being able to plan out an entire year of my business ahead of time.

Today, I’m sharing what I learned over all that time so you can know how to do the same thing!

Why You Should Tune In?

While planning out an entire year ahead of time can benefit everyone, it’s especially critical if you’re planning, launching, or have already launched your business but feel a little over the place.

Here is a little secret for you …

In order to create a life-first business, you actually have to put your life first.

I know that can seem scary when you’re not making money yet or not hitting your financial goals but it’s incredibly important to the success of your business.

What better way to put your life first than by actually scheduling right into your business?

In addition to helping keep your priorities straight, planning all of 2018 ahead of time, will help you stay focused, know exactly what to work on and when, allow time for professional development, and have more control over your schedule.

[Tweet “In order to create a life-first business, you actually have to put your life first.”]

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.

Are You Where You Thought You Would Be At This Point In 2017?

Did you accomplish all the professional goals you set for yourself this year? Are you proud of the work you’ve done and the results it yielded? If not, a large of the reason is probably that you didn’t have a clear plan in place before 2017 even began.

Luckily for you, I’m here to help make sure that doesn’t happen for 2018.

Why You Should Tune In?

When you don’t have a clear plan in place for a new year, you don’t know what to work on or when to work on it in order to accomplish your larger goals for the year.

You need to treat your micro business like a corporation.

Don’t just try a hundred different things and hope one of them sticks. Instead, go into 2018 knowing exactly what products or services you’ll be launching throughout the year.

[Tweet “You need to treat your micro business like a corporation.“]

What Can You Expect?

In this episode, I’m discussing the three key things you need to know right now in order to plan and conquer 2018 so you can feel proud of all you’ve accomplished when you reflect back one year from now.

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.

What’s a Lifestyle Entrepreneur Learning Plan?

Becoming an entrepreneur means you agree to embark on a journey of endless learning. As with anything else in life, this journey will go a lot smoother if you have a plan.

And this is where the “Lifestyle Entrepreneur Learning Plan” comes in.

“An Entrepreneur Learning Plan is list of things you need to learn over a defined period of time, to grow yourself and your business.” April Beach

[Tweet “An Entrepreneur Learning Plan is list of things you need to learn over a defined period of time, to grow yourself and your business”]

Why Tune In To This Episode?

It’s important to always learn, grow, adapt, and evolve. It’s the only way to keep your business relevant and healthy.

Having a plan in place for learning new systems, platforms, skills, etc. will allow you to not become distracted by the overwhelming amount of information entrepreneurs must consume.

With a learning plan, you’ll have the confidence and power to know exactly what you should be learning and when; saving you time, money, and frustration.

[Tweet “Becoming an entrepreneur means you agree to embark on a journey of endless learning.”]

What Can You Expect?

I’ll explain exactly what a “Lifestyle Entrepreneur Learning Plan” is, provide examples of what one looks like, how it can help you solve problems, and why this is so critical to the success of your business.

4 Quick Steps to Create a Sample ELP:

Make a list of the items you need to learn at this time
Take an inventory of the courses you’ve already bought and downloads you’ve already received, and categorize your trainings into “skills groups”
Make a list of what skills you’re missing and go find those trainings
Create a 12-18 Month Learning Calendar of what you plan to learn and by when, based on the current phase of business you’re in right now (find out what phase you’re in here)
