The Jasmine Star Show

They WILL say you’re too old/young/rich/poor/Black/Brown/White/dumb/smart. You’ll always be “too” something. Too much, too little. So often we stop our growth for fear of what others will say. We hide our light to make other people comfortable. We speak softly, stand in shadows, and play it down with subconscious hopes that our enough-ness won’t highlight someone else’s insecurities. But by doing...

“It's too late,” “I'm too old,” “There are so many young entrepreneurs, I could never compete with them.” “I can’t keep up with the trends.” “I’m not technologically savvy.” Have you ever thought something similar?

If you followed along with our Crypto Curious series in February and March 2022, you know that me and my favorite crypto-savvy co host Daniel Di Venere *love* nerding out about NFTs. And since we closed out the series just a few weeks ago, there are plenty of things we’d like to update you on… which is why Daniel and I decided to break out our podcasting mics for this off-the-cuff bonus episode! T...

I’m just going to say it: I believe that self awareness is the fuel your business needs to be successful. Without self awareness, you won’t be able to reach the goals you’ve set, impact the amount of lives you want to, or make the amount of money you want to. That’s why I’m excited to share with you a conversation I had on the Callie Ammons Show about this topic, because I truly believe it’s impor...

Have you ever worried about staying relevant in your industry? I’ve been there. Sometimes as business owners, we get into routines in our content creation and our marketing. It’s “just the way we do it,” and we don’t consider changing… but friend, that is DETRIMENTAL to our business, even if it feels safe. In order to stay relevant and continue making the max amount of sales for your business, you...

Every life-changing adventure, decision, or opportunity I’ve had started off with a side hustle. In case you’re unfamiliar with that term, a side hustle is a small business that is *usually* not your main source of income while you get it off the ground. Side hustles are not guaranteed to be a full-time career, but you’ll be lucky if it becomes one. It could take 2 months, 2 years, or 20 years…but...

Does Instagram REALLY matter? I was thinking about this topic the other day because let me deal it to you straight: many business owners have personal opinions around specific platforms and it’s affecting their decision-making when it comes to using social media for their business. Our objective as business owners is to make decisions that benefit our business… personal feelings aside. We have to...

What most people don’t know is that when you start a business, you have to make the conscious decision to become a marketer. Because as much as you love what you do (whether it be painting, copywriting, cooking, photography, business coaching or anything else), the reality is that without marketing, you won’t ever get to do it! Not as a business, anyway. That’s why you have to make the conscious d...

Oftentimes as business owners, we’re afraid to try something new. But isn’t that what entrepreneurship is all about? Trying new things, making mistakes, learning from them, then trying again? I’d argue it is. >>I truly believe that you need to try something new in order to determine what’s right for your business.<< That being said, I know it can be difficult to determine exactly what...

One of my favorite parts of hosting the Jasmine Star Show is that I get to speak to some of the most inspiring, brilliant entrepreneurs in all different industries all over the world.

In this conversatio...

Pat Flynn (Founder of SmartPassiveIncome & SwitchPod) once told me, “Riches are in niches,” and he couldn’t be more right. Let’s dig a little deeper into what this means for you…  >>If you speak to everyone, you’re actually speaking to no one.<<  That’s why I tell every business owner (yes, you too!) to identify their Ideal Client , and speak specifically to them… and that might ev...

“What should I do if the biggest person who critiques my work is my spouse?” “How do I respond when my mom challenges my goals?” “What should I say when my loved ones don’t support my dreams?” Ouch. These questions may sting to read, and they’re sadly very common for many business owners to ask themselves. What SHOULD you do when your loved ones don’t support your dreams? I have a lot of opinions...

I feel so passionate about healing yourself from the inside out in order to transform your business that I’m being extra vulnerable today… because my guest is my former therapist! >>Mark Howerton has over fifteen years of experience working in the field of counseling.<< In his own life, a life-threatening car accident gave Mark first-hand experience in overcoming trauma, and motivated...

Do you have someone in your life who, whenever you see them, spend time with them, and speak with them, you feel completely fulfilled and happy they’re in your life? For me, that person is James Wedmore. I’ve spoken about him on the podcast plenty of times, so I won’t bore you with the details of how we met in his mastermind, and how he has become an incredible mentor and friend to me over the yea...

I can almost guarantee that every new business owner asked the question, “Where do I even START?” at the beginning of their journey and wished they had a roadmap to follow. I know I did when I first started my photography business 15 years ago! >>With a decade of entrepreneurial experience under my belt and having made plenty of mistakes along the way, I feel confident in saying I know how t...

“If your intuition tells you it’s a fit…” That phrase is the extent to which my guest today, Jess Lively, sells her services… Yet she is an extremely successful entrepreneur. So how did she get to a point in her life and business where she feels comfortable encouraging her clients to work with her if it “feels” right?  That’s exactly what you’re about to hear today… and how you can use her free-fl...

I’ll be honest, dear podcast listener… I need to come correct. Last week, I released a podcast episode titled The Secret to Dealing with Social Media Haters , and I didn’t serve you or the rest of the Jasmine Star Show podcast community right. >>In last week’s podcast, I discussed how to let the comments from social media haters fall off your back… but I didn’t give you tactical tips on what...

Though I’ve never been a trend-setter, I’ve always been a trend-watcher… and when it comes to Instagram, I have an eagle eye. After all, keeping up with the trends plays a vital role in getting our accounts discovered! >>I want to help you get more eyes on your account and more money in your business.<< So if you’re ready to learn about the 3 trends business owners should be exploring...

If you’d like to make money in the NFT space, you’ll have to sell them eventually. >>NFT purchases can 10x or even 100x in value! So why wouldn’t you want to cash in on that kind of growth?<< That being said, this episode is the 4th part of our Crypto Curious series, and it covers how and when to sell an NFT, and we also answer listener questions such as what an “airdrop” and “delayed...

Haters. Like every household has dirty laundry, we’ve all got ‘em. And just like the hamper of overflowing laundry that remains ignored in my closet, I also choose to turn the other cheek when haters troll me on the Internet! >>It’s not because I think I’m cool… It's because I don’t have time to worry about the opinions of someone who is not paying my bills.<< So not only do I ign...
