She Needs Profit

Is it necessary for you to be the person who does everything? No, I don't believe so. Every entrepreneur aspires to start a business because they want to make more money and have more spare time, or at the absolute least, more control over their schedule. The majority of entrepreneurs have managed to work longer hours, earn less money, and clearly have not completed those two jobs when they first...

In time, as our business needs change, it’s ok to keep the tools you’ve tried or to toss them out completely. Identify their purpose and determine if you are taking full advantage of them. During this episode, I’m going to reveal to you the six business tools that I use every day and share...

Remember when you were told not to peek at someone else’s paper in grade school? Well, it goes hand in hand with your business too! You’ll never learn or grow into your own, ultimate version of success if you keep doing what everyone else is doing. You already have this innate brilliance within you; all you have to do is let it shine. Others want to hire you for who you are; quit pretending to be...

Taxes are an unavoidable aspect of being a business owner. You may believe that paying taxes is an annoying inconvenience that you’d rather avoid, but please understand that proper preparation for them is a critical step in building a successful, profitable business.

If the word “sales” makes you squirm, it’s time to evaluate how you expect to make money in your business. We women have it systemically ingrained in us that we shouldn’t speak up, therefore it can be tough to make sales in the early stages of your business. More sales and more successful sales calls comes with practice. As a badass business owner, it’s up to you to ensure you develop your voice a...

If you haven’t figured it out already, I have a very No Bullshit approach to coaching women entrepreneurs toward profitable endeavors. Women, particularly business owners, have long been taught to play nice and avoid standing out. In business, however, it’s often the opposite. You need to be bold, speak up, and exude confidence about the solution you bring to the market. While I may come off as ab...

It is 100% possible for your business to reach and exceed your goals in 2022. However, there’s no magic pill or single strategy that will make growth easy. In contrast, I do believe there’s a magic ingredient. No matter your sales experience or revenue level, you’ll occasionally question what you’re missing or what one thing you should be doing that will suddenly elevate you to the next level. It’...

You built this badass business from the bottom up and can operate it any way you want. But, in order to truly craft a profitable business that supports the lifestyle you ultimately want, you must first identify your values.

I was once a chronic procrastinator. I used to believe that I produced best under the pressure of a tight deadline. I always got things done and achieved OK outcomes, so it wasn’t a big deal to me. Now, as mom of four and CEO, I can’t live like that! Planning well, batching work, and writing things down will help you avoid doing things at the last minute. When you plan to do things at the last min...

To grow your business, you need to be heard. You’ve got to be able to tell people what you do, what problem your business solves for clients, and confidently discuss options and pricing about your offers. Discovering your voice can be scary at first, but ultimately rewarding. When you first start your business, some of the first advice out there is about creating your avatar and determining who yo...

Have you struggled with pricing, offering too much for free, or billing for what you’re worth? Some people carry the assumption that if you’re helping others or it’s your talent or if it comes naturally to you, that you should be giving it away for free - Quite the opposite! Ask yourself if you’re running a legitimate business or if it’s just an expensive hobby. To share your services/products, ge...

Be creative about the life you wish to create! With a business and four children, how do I stay so organized? How am I going to handle it all? I’ve been asked this, and to be honest, I’m not really that organized. I’m going to debunk the myth that you can’t run a great business while also being an attentive mom. You can have anything you desire in life if you are determined to do so. Consider when...

If you want to make sales or grow your business, it’s crucial for you to have and continuously reinforce the confidence you have. This often comes through a deep-seated conviction that your service or product helps others. It’s unsettling to prospects if you’re uncertain about your business, your products, or your pricing. Your indecisiveness or nervousness may cast doubt on your abilities to prod...

What comes to mind when you think of sales? Maybe you get a yucky feeling since you know you hate it when someone gives you a sales pitch. But what if I told you, you can SELL without coming across as pushy? I’ve worked in a variety of sales positions throughout my career, long before starting my own business. Talking and building connections with other people is something I genuinely enjoy. I bel...

You do NOT have to fear money. As CEOs, we need to look into how we’re making our money but also knowing what we spend that money on. The problem is that we aren't taught key personal finance principles, much less how to profitably run a business. There are coaches and bookkeepers that are willing to help, so don’t be afraid to reach out when you are feeling stuck or confused. In this week's episo...

Starting a business is no doubt challenging and scary AF. Suddenly you’re 100% responsible for your money, your clients, your services, and yes, even your failure.

Grit is one of the four most impactful and necessary ingredients in your business that will determine whether or not you become a profit maker. Looking back, I see my own tenden...

Starting a business can seem scary, but one of the first, most required building blocks of a successful business is Confidence. When you have confidence in yourself and your ability to make money, clients and money are attracted to you.
