The Jasmine Star Show

Real talk: You might believe that something is possible…but do you believe it’s possible for YOU? If not, it’s time to start. And you can do this by collecting and creating evidence proving to your “inner jury” that you’re capable of achieving whatever you want to accomplish. In fact, this is exactly what Heather Hansen, the incredibly talented and brilliant lawyer/advocate/author, explained so be...

Have you ever had a conversation that changed your entire life? That’s exactly what happened the day I met Dr. Gabrielle Lyon … After facing health concerns (that seemed to be solution-less) I was ready to give up. I, Jasmine Star, had accepted my suffering… And when I openly shared my newly-accepted fate with Dr. Gabrielle… y’all she wasn’t having it. The words that came out of her mouth were “OH...

Y’all, I was FLOORED. $255,000? In one week? It all started in 2016, I realized my income was limited with photography and I needed to diversify my income… So, I created my first digital offer, “Insta 180” .  It was an online store for photography resources like educational PDFs, templates, and short video tutorials. It was something I knew was a definite need in the photography industry. And I’ll...

There’s something we must do when creating a new offer. Rewire our brains to allow us to think differently. Here’s the deal: our brain wants a sense of security and safety and to do what has worked in the past (which is great for survival, but no bueno in business.) It will talk us out of experimenting with new ideas, testing different strategies, and creating something that isn’t yet proven. Ok,...

This is a full-circle moment right here… A podcast host that I listened to religiously (and helped me gain a deeper understanding of fundraising, company evaluation, and investing) is on the show! And lemme tell you - I couldn’t be more THRILLED . Listen y’all, my incredible friend Josh Muccio created a podcast out of sheer BOREDOM . And even though the podcast seemed like a failure at the time, i...

It hit me out of nowhere like a drive-by bullet… “Selfish, money-driven women like you who adopt are shameful.” And that was just a small part of a lengthy DM I got after sharing my experience of being the only woman in a group of founders at a mastermind event to my stories. (I share the stories and full DM in this episode.) What I didn’t expect was that the very same experience at the mastermind...

Lemme tell you: it has been A YEAR. I recently took some time to reflect on the lessons I’ve learned over the past 12 months and, as I did, I noted the mindset shifts that I embraced along the way. These shifts were powerful tools in enabling me to move forward and grow, (regardless of how I FELT in any given moment), and I’m excited to share them with you today. Click play to hear about these min...

Y’all, I’m getting real honest in this episode/audio diary. That’s right - you’re going to hear six real-time voice memos I recorded during my week as a way of documenting the (many) unexpected “flops” that happen in life and business. I hope it encourages you that these moments are VERY normal. Click play to hear all this and… [00:00:40] Why setbacks and challenges are neither good nor bad. [00:0...

I might be going out on a limb here… But I’m going to say you’ve evolved since first starting your business. And since evolving, you might have noticed yourself getting pulled back down to who you once were or who people WISH you were. (Because it feels safe and cushy!) But holding yourself back to those previous versions of yourself is playing small which serves… Well, absolutely no one. What DOE...

If you’ve been thinking I’m ready for my next thing, but I don’t know what it is… well, buckle your seatbelts and hang on tight. Brit Driscoll is about to come in HOT with advice and guidance just for you! If you haven’t heard of Brittany Driscoll, you’re in for a treat.

Not only did I have the pleasure of sitting down with my dear friend and fellow entrepreneur, Lori Harder, I also had the privilege of introducing her as my co-host in a series of upcoming episodes. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be dropping new episodes with several other powerhouse female entrepreneurs that I can’t wait fo...

“Jasmine, should I start a podcast?” Ahh, a question I’ve gotten countless times since I started The Jasmine Star Show in 2019. And this might come as a surprise (since I’m pro-long-form content) … but the answer isn’t always yes. In fact, depending on your business goals, sometimes it can distract you from your most urgent business needs (meaning it isn’t always the best use of your time/energy/e...

Can you imagine Beyoncé wanting to be a part of your marketing campaign? (Yes, THAT Beyoncé!) This actually happened to a client of Denise Lamberstson (aka the “Godmother of Influencer Marketing” and founder of the LMS Agency and Constellation Capital ). But before Denise started her own influencer agency, she was Madonna’s right-hand woman where she learned what made really GREAT partnerships bet...

I REALLY don't want to share this story… But I think it's important that we normalize failures in business. So, here I go… In October of 2022, the Social Curator team and I hosted a week-long social media challenge…and we shut it down within the first 48-72 hours. We knew very quickly it wasn’t going to work. We’ve hosted very successful challenges in the past, but this time we did thing...

She sold the proposal of her book… and then changed the title. She bought a domain… and then decided not to use it. She spent hours creating her book’s outline… and then she scratched it.  And it was the absolute BEST use of her time. Sounds crazy? Lemme explain… When Jen Gottlieb , co-founder of Super Connector Media decided she was going to write her book, Be Seen , she took immediate action. Sh...

Have you ever felt stagnant in your business? Like no matter how much you do/give/teach/share things just… don’t move. And even though this is so common in business, it doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Does it, friend? And before anything else, I want you to know that YOU are not the problem. But there are things you can do to jump over your revenue hurdles - which is why I had to bring Dan M...

“Serve, serve, serve.” “Serve before you sell.” “Just give value.” Sound familiar? We hear a lot about WHY we need to give value, but when it comes to the HOW - the only thing really taught is to post educational content (totally fine by the way!) But in a world where information is SO easily accessible, you must lean into the other ways to serve your audience as well. Not sure where to start? I g...

“Jasmine, they're selling for me…” That’s what my brilliant speaker/author/master community builder of a friend replied when I asked her questions about her ad spend, list-building, and marketing tactics. The answer to her wildly successful business wasn’t more marketing…  It was that her community was selling for her. You see, when you make people feel like they are contributors to the commu...

I wasn’t born a determined person…  And I definitely wasn’t born a patient person (oldest siblings, stand up.) These are skills I became aware of, practiced, measured, and eventually developed. But some of my favorite skills are the underrated ones… why you ask? You see, the only thing I love more than underrated skills is being underrated. There's something about walking into a room and havi...

Lemme tell you one of the best gifts I’ve gotten this year… The opportunity to rediscover who I am and what kind of business I want to have. And this started because of something my team said… “Let us run the operations”.  You see, the business had reached a point where we had a strong team in place, and they generously offered to handle the day-to-day, giving me the freedom to focus on casting th...

‘You're not doing enough.’  ‘Couldn’t you have avoided this? I'm sure you could have avoided this.’ ‘Why couldn't you see this coming six months ago?’ I came across these words I journaled last year and cringed. Now that I’m in a place where I’m able to reflect without being so self-critical, I realize that I did do the best I could with what I had and what I knew at the time. The t...

Have you ever had one of those big lightbulb moments when creating an offer? One of those moments where the pieces all seem to fall into place and you’re figuring out how a new revenue stream is about to make a big impact for your people? This is exactly what happened on one of my consulting calls with a client when she hashed out the details of her new membership program (including a six-week lau...
