The BizChix Podcast: Female Entrepreneurs | Women Small Business | Biz Chix

If you struggle with finding clients, getting referrals, and communicating the value of your services, you most likely need help with your positioning.  That's what $ix Figures Lab member Jennifer Edwards needed help with, too.  I first connected with Jennifer on LinkedIn, when she reached out to let me know she was considering joining $ix Figures Lab. And I gave her coaching right there in the DM...

Adulting is hard.  Turns out this is more than just a funny meme. Adulting really is hard.  And many business owners have been expressing the same sentiment.  Being a CEO is hard.  It makes sense, because as the CEO, the buck stops with you.  There's no one higher up the chain to absorb the impact of a rough patch in your business. There's no one who can make business decisions for you.  On today'...

Are you struggling to find more time to work on your business as it grows and also more time for your personal life too? Many women business owners share the same struggle. And it's no wonder because we are all trying to balance multiple roles whether it is as moms, care-takers, partners, volunteers, friends, CEOs, and more.  That was certainly the case for $ix Figures Lab member Rachel Cahill , w...

Have you been searching for the perfect pricing structure for your business? If so, I have good news and bad news.  The bad news is, there is no perfect formula for pricing.  Now for the good news — there is more than one way to get paid in your business. And as the CEO, it's your choice. On today's episode $ix Figures Lab Coach Elizabeth Cook and I will share 3 ways marketers, consultants, and fi...

What do you think of when you hear the term passive income? The idea is incredibly appealing, and the marketing messages used to sell it are extremely persuasive.  Imagine a steady stream of income filling your bank account on autopilot, while you relax on a tropical beach or sleep in your own bed. That's every business owner's dream, right? On today's episode $ix Figures Lab Coach Elizabeth Cook...

Have you noticed a lot more competition for your ideal clients? If you think your market is saturated, you may be right.  Over the past decade, I have noticed several entrepreneurial fields becoming crowded. Areas like marketing, consulting, and business and life coaching have grown exponentially — especially since 2020 and the Great Resignation. There are a few reasons for this growth, and on tod...

What I have learned over the last decade working individually with over 1,000 women entrepreneurs, is that we all have blind spots when it comes to our businesses and we are each focusing on things that may not be moving our business forward even though it may feel like we are keeping very, very busy. My guess is that you are doing things to attempt to attract your ideal clients that they do not c...

Are you playing the long game in your business? I hope that question is like a breath of fresh air for you. Because, as a business business owner, you are constantly bombarded with messages about instant results, overnight success, and ways to make money fast.    At BizChix, we do things differently. We help our clients build an Enduring Business, one that is enjoyable, profitable, and sustainable...

You don't need a massive team to have a highly profitable business as a marketer, consultant or financial professional. But you do need a high performing team. What would it be like if you could give every member of your current or future team a five star rating? Can you imagine how your entire business and life would change if you had that kind of support? Your team includes anyone you pay to sup...

Have you considered working in a fractional role with your clients?  The most common fractional roles include fractional chief financial officer, chief marketing officer, chief operations officer and chief people officer.  Some of our clients come to us already offering fractional packages. Or we help them pivot into a fractional role after joining $ix Figures Lab because it elevates their positio...

Does it ever make sense to offer a discount on your services? My stance on discounts is a solid no. But it's not quite that simple.  If you're anything like some of our clients, you may get creative when it comes to discounting your services by trying to find an exception to the no discounts rule.  What about you? Are you coming up with creative ways to offer a discount without calling it a discou...

Where are you hiding in your business? Now, you might think I'm only talking about hiding from visibility opportunities, but hiding is about more than visibility.  And you might think we're going to discuss procrastination because so many business owners use it to avoid making difficult decisions or taking action.  Hiding in your business goes a layer deeper, and it may be harder to recognize beca...

Are you an absolute expert in your field — but you're not an expert at running a business? This is the most common roadblock for our clients, including today's guest Sarah Russo who is an alumni member of our Six Figures Lab Group Coaching program.  Sarah is the Founder of Page One Media, a boutique literary publicity and marketing firm for authors, experts, and literary companies.  In this episod...

How many of your clients have your personal cell phone number?  If this method of communication works for you, that's fine. However, it quickly becomes a problem if your client has an all-access pass to your time, and you feel like you can't say no, especially to those quick texts after hours and on weekends. Maybe this communication style worked when you started your business and had only a few c...

It could be where they work, their working hours, their communication style, lack of attention to detail or how they present themselves to your clients.  Sometimes we let team members go without giving them a chance to make changes and perhaps as leaders we have not clearly communicated and set boundaries. In today's episode, I'm joined by Elizabeth Cook, who coaches with me in our $ix Figures Lab...

How do you go from juggling multiple offers to focusing on what's most profitable and aligned in your business?  The truth is, many business owners experiment with different revenue streams, such as online courses, digital products, group coaching offers, and done-for-you services. But most entrepreneurs quickly find that their energy is spread too thin. And, when your offers are scattered, your r...

Do you know exactly what to do to grow and scale your business in 2023? Or maybe your to-do list is stuffed with random tasks you think you should be doing? If you feel pulled in a thousand different directions, and you're not sure what actually moves the needle in your business, you are in luck.  In today's episode, we have narrowed the list down to the top five  things you must do this year, in...

Do you have a plan for what you can stop doing in your business this year?  You probably have an exciting plan mapped out for 2023. But in addition to all of the things you will do, we always recommend taking a step back and assessing what is not working for you. In today's episode, Elizabeth Cook, who coaches with me in our $ix Figures Lab group coaching program, joins me to discuss the top five...

In a world obsessed with instant results, what does it take to build an enduring business? Ultimately, creating an enduring business is what we help all of our clients do at BizChix. And you might be wondering exactly what that means. My definition of an enduring business is one that is profitable, enjoyable, and sustainable. In today's episode, I'm joined by Elizabeth Cook, who coaches with me in...

Do you know exactly what to focus on every day to grow your business? Not knowing which actions will actually move the needle in your business is one of the biggest challenges facing entrepreneurs today.  After all, there are thousands of strategies and tactics you could try. But which one is the best for YOU? Too often, I see business owners trying to do all of the things in their business. And t...

Are you running your business from a state of overwhelm?  If so, you will struggle to achieve your goals.  How do I know? Because when you are in a state of overwhelm, you cannot see, plan, or act from a place of clarity.  Overwhelm happens you have too many requirements on your time and energy. You feel like you are drowning in your to-do list. And your capacity is maxed out.  As a CEO, you need...

How do you make sales and keep growing your business during a recession? This is a hot topic of conversation among my clients and the women business owners in the BizChix community.  Whether we are officially in a recession or not, the U.S. economy is in a downturn.  Naturally, many of you are worried about how this might affect the buying behaviors of your ideal clients and ultimately, the financ...

On today's special Thanksgiving episode, we talk with Tara Humphrey, CEO of THC Primary Care, a healthcare consulting firm in London. Tara shares with us the life-changing power of positivity, how she sets goals, and how her daily practice of affirmations changed her mindset, her business, and her life as a whole. Because when we focus on how we want to feel, rather than where we are, anything is...

What if one simple shift in your priorities could decrease your workload and increase your revenue?  The simple shift is prioritizing conversations over content.  This might surprise you because as entrepreneurs, we are told to produce tons of free content in multiple forms for multiple platforms. Frankly, churning out content for your business can be exhausting.   But the real problem is not the...
