The Joybrand Podcast

So many entrepreneurs want to invest in passive income streams. But, I want to ask you - have you been sitting on an investment opportunity that you're not even aware of because you haven't actually taken the time to look at what could make it work more for you when you are not working? We look at these magical people who work very little and have incredibly lucrative businesses and we think that...

Planning is one of those things that everybody wants and when we're doing it we don't necessarily feel like it. And afterwards we rarely follow the plan.  So, what is the point of planning and how does this fold into the leap methodology that I have seen create remarkable results for clients? In the last episode, I talked about having a limited focus and today I'm going to talk about establishing...

L ast week, I introduced my new framework to you.  It's called the L.E.A.P Methodology, and it's something that I've been practicing with clients for many years now. It took me some time and I'm so excited to share it with you.  And what I've found is that this is the methodology that creates massive leaps in businesses that are established, that have already gone through the proof of concept stag...

There's a change coming!  And you might have noticed it.. We have officially changed our podcast name. And it has been a really exciting iteration for a variety of different reasons, but mainly that I wanted a podcast that was more accurately reflective of the type of work that I am now doing with clients.  Scale with Joy was very much a great message when I had a client base that was struggling w...

We chatted about: How to have a Zen launch The biggest mistak...

As an entrepreneur, you might find a tendency to experience a lot of resistance around planning.  I myself am kind of a planner deep down. But I think for a lot of us who are visionaries, we actually dislike the process.  We completely hate this idea of making decisions in advance because circumstances can change or we feel called to something else.  Or we come up with a great idea or get a new pi...

At the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we talked a lot about pivoting businesses online to fit the new reality of not being able to do live events. For some businesses, it was hard, but many found a way to make it work and are now thriving. My guest today, Tresa Todd, Founder of the Women's Real Estate Investors Network, pivoted her business online and saw 500% growth in the first year.  Tune...

The cool thing about being a business owner is that you get to model your business around the way you want to live your life. If you want to block off your calendar every Friday morning so you can take your daughter to dance class, you can. If you want to take off one random afternoon to get a pedicure, guess what, you can! My guest today, Chanie Wilschanski, CEO of Schools Of Excellence, models h...

There's a shift happening in the online space and as a CEO putting yourself out there every day, you might have noticed it.  These shifts have turned into pretty unique challenges - and I've been hearing rumblings in the online space.  There's been a secret, underground conversation that's been happening amongst the high-level experts that I'm surrounded by, and even within our own community leade...

On our entrepreneurial journey, we are all bound to have a business partner somewhere along the line.  I myself am currently partnering with Kelly Roach on our business, The Advance Network.

My guests today were my clients, and boss business partners, Minna K...

How much money are you leaving on the table by not having an ambassador program in your community, course or membership? The truth is, we're moving into an age where relationship marketing is front and center and there's truly no more profitable way than to gain new clients or customers than through the successful relationships you already have built. I'm frequently asked about and guide my client...

How many subscription services are you signed up for right now? Between workout apps, streaming services and monthly subscription boxes, I'm sure the answer is at least 5.

As an entrepreneur, have you ever sat down to complete a task and then all of a sudden, the FedEx guy rings the doorbell, the dog starts barking and the baby starts crying? It's not easy to concentrate with all our daily distractions, and for the 40% of entrepreneurs with ADHD, concentrating on important tasks is even harder. My guest today Amber Hawley, licensed marriage and family therapist spok...

We've all had an experience in our lives when we step into a store to shop around and immediately get bombarded by a salesperson trying to sell you the latest and greatest.   Do you ever really purchase anything from them? The answer is probably no, because people like to buy from people they know and trust. My guest today, Nikki Rausch is the CEO of Sales Maven and shares some great knowledge on...

As an entrepreneur, where do you focus your marketing dollars? Facebook? Instagram?  According to my guest today, Jody Milward, Facebook Ad Strategist, Facebook is the best place to be seen as a premier leader in your niche.

Today, I want to talk to you about unconditional love towards yourself.  For so many of us, the way that we talk about ourselves in our minds is awful. In fact, if we were out and about, and somebody actually said the things to us that we often said to ourselves, we would be so offended.  So why are we putting up with talking to ourselves in a way we wouldn't allow anyone else to?  Especially when...

Do you know how many Instagram photos and videos are shared everyday? The answer is 95 million.

When we put ourselves out there and we build something important enough, big enough, powerful enough, inevitably there's going to be people who simply don't like it.  They don't like the way we've approached it. Maybe they're even people who were part of our network and then it turns out their vision was misaligned with our own. Those are often some of the hardest challenges to navigate in entrepr...
