Simple Online Business: Business Strategy for Moms

Happy New Year, Mamas! As we approach this next year, I’ve been doing a lot of planning and research to kickstart my ambitious goal for 2021: to help 100 women make $5k months by June 30th. I’ve been studying my most successful clients to see what it is that takes these women to the next level, and one major attribute stands out: confidence . My fastest growing, highest earning clients have confid...

When I first started my business, I looked to uber successful personal development gurus for guidance on online marketing strategy. If it’s working SO well for them, it’ll work for me, right? Wrong. Trying to replicate the success of multi-million dollar businesses does not work when your main audience consists of a few clients, your mom, your besties, and some social media “friends” you haven’t s...

On today’s episode of the podcast, we’re talking about another buzzword in online business: “VA”, or virtual assistant. What is a virtual assistant? Believe it or not, it does NOT entail ordering lattes via Postmates for some overworked executive. It’s actually a booming entrepreneurial industry - VAs are skilled business owners who can hit the ground running with minimal investment and easily bui...

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m interviewing anti-racist leadership coach Alyssa Hall about her experience building a business that completely transformed her life and the lives of her clients. Alyssa was living in the projects in NYC, and had made a total of $1500 in her coaching business (in two years) before she started working with me. Oh and did I mention...

When I started my business, I was an under-investor. I believed I could be frugal and avoid what I considered to be unnecessary expenses. Why would I want to risk my hard-earned money without the guarantee of earning it all back?   A few years later, I had a major mindset shift that completely changed the way I viewed investing in my business.   Since that time, I’ve made back all of the money I’v...

Happy Thanksgiving week, Mamas! I recently asked the members of my group coaching program, Mama to CEO, to compare where they are now in their businesses to where they were a year ago, and share their reflections in our Facebook group. The feedback was so incredible, it brought tears to my eyes, especially given how challenging the year 2020 has been. On today’s episode of the Online Business Buil...

As a business coach, I frequently hear from my clients that they feel “stuck” in their business. This feeling typically results in little, if any, positive momentum in your business, which in turn means - you guessed it - you’re not hitting your client or revenue goals.  On this episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’ll teach you why you’re feeling “stuck”, why you’re probably mo...

Have you ever scrolled social media, seen someone else succeeding, and felt worse about yourself? Yes.  The answer is yes.   Comparison is something that we all fall into - and unfortunately, it stops many people from showing up and hitting their own goals.   On today’s podcast episode, I’m revealing all the hidden truths about comparison: why we do it, how it hurts us, and how to stop doing it so...

How many times have you heard the word "compelling" in the world of marketing? And does the thought of having to be compelling send you into a self-doubt spiral? If so, you're not alone. This is one of the topics that comes up the most in my coaching sessions, and I've noticed a pattern in online entrepreneurs using this word against themselves. It's easy to believe you do...

Text us and let us kn...

Do you think it's your job to make your clients happy? This episode is for you. The reality is that trying to control other people’s emotions is an impossible task that will always drain your energy and leave you exhausted. In your business, this is NOT scalable or sustainable. This week, I’m sharing why client boundaries are necessary in your business, why they are one of the 4 pillars of sc...

As a business coach, my new clients find it surprising when I tell them that focusing on mastering strategy can actually sabotage their business and make things less clear to them. The truth is that strategy is not the most important thing in your business. You can do a lot of the strategy stuff wrong - and still make a lot of money and hit your goals. In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing w...

On this episode of the podcast, I’m interviewing a group of my clients who recently hit their biggest month ever in revenue in their businesses. In my coaching, I have a motto – there are NO small wins. We celebrate ALL wins.   In the interview, you’ll be hearing from clients whose biggest months to date range from $1,500 to $15,000 – and they’ll be sharing it all: how they did it, what was the mo...

Do less. Make more.   The reason more people don’t do better in business is that they make it more complicated than it needs to be.   On this episode of the podcast, I am going to help you simplify your business, stripping away everything that is unnecessary, and leaving you with the things that matter most to get the results you want.   I’m sharing the 3 questions to ask yourself to help you iden...

One of the biggest struggles my clients have to overcome to build the businesses they really want to have is learning how to sell. A lot of us are raised with stories about how selling is slimy, manipulative, and gross – but selling is a required part of building a business, and loving selling makes it so much easier. Today on the podcast, I’m introducing one thought that will help you love sellin...

There’s you, and there’s money, and there’s what is in between. Most people think the things in between are actions they need to take, and they think they just need someone to tell them how. The truth is that the Internet is full of hows. There is literally no business advice, strategy, or tool, that isn’t available for free on some blog, podcast, or webinar. There isn’t a secret strategy you have...

Myth: If you aren’t making money right now, your business isn’t working. Truth: Regardless of how much money you’re making, your business is working, right now. Most people quit too soon because they don’t realize this truth. They approach their business thinking it isn’t working, without giving their actions enough time to pay off yet. On today’s episode of the podcast, I am talking about Result...

Making powerful decisions is the #1 skill you need to get what you want in business and life. And yet…most of us were NOT taught how to make decisions, or even how important decision making is. The best we’re taught is a pro/con list, which often doesn’t lend that much clarity to our decisions and has us more torn and confused. And the default mode of our brain is to avoid decisions for as long as...

Many online entrepreneurs start off their businesses as freelancers, doing projects for others. What you may not realize if you’re one of them – is how the freelancer mentality is actually stopping you from creating the financial results and time freedom that was the whole reason you started the business to begin with! I work with all my clients to develop a CEO mentality. YOU are the boss. YOU ma...

Chavonne is a life and marriage coach, and together, we explore the intersection of business and marriage.   From the “husband objection” in your sales conversations, to your own dynamics with your partner as it relates to your investments, to the common pitfalls moms experience growing their businesses – you do not want t...

Are you ready for some real talk this week? I'm getting unfiltered about common marketing mistakes I see almost everyone making these days on social media. This episode is a must listen if your marketing isn't getting the results you want (aka more clients!).

Have you ever set a big goal in your business and then ended up doing LESS? Sometimes big goals can completely shut you down instead of inspiring you. When I notice this tendency in clients, I tell them this: ALL businesses are built one client at a time. Whether it's your virtual assisting business, my coaching business, or McDonald's - we are all building one client at a time. On this...
