Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs

Problems arise constantly in business. Whether you're a 7-figure CEO or you're just starting your business, you will encounter problems. Often. And if you don't have a clear methodology for solving problems in your business, your life will be miserable. I have a clear, effective, 3-step process that I use and that teach my clients to use that addresses and resolves pressing business issues. I will...

I want to share another replay this week on a model I've developed that is unlike any other: the Jewel Business Model. This model attempts to bring a harmonious answer to the question, what do we as women entrepreneurs really want? Most business models leave something to be desired for women. They focus solely on profitability and economic growth, and leave out our desire to make an impact or crea...

Today, I'm re-releasing an episode that explores disqualify selling. Disqualification is all about drawing clear boundaries around who your brand, company, and offerings are not for. When you do it right, you can catapult your brand to cult status, grow your revenue to heights you've never seen, and make the process of closing sales much more elegant and refined.  At its core, the power of disqual...

I recently dove into the core of what we teach in our business accelerator program: PPAM. The Premium Priced Ascension Model is an ecosystem that enables you to skyrocket your CIA and your freedom. Today, we're expanding on the information we shared in part one to give you an even better idea of how to build a successful service-based business.  When you start creating your PPAM business, there ar...

At the beginning of 2021, I set the intention to do my dardnest to move through 2021 in a state of relaxed confidence. It's in this state that I perform best, I enjoy my life the most, and I'm at my healthiest. I'm a much better boss, mother, wife, friend, etc.  As I mentioned last week, I've been pretty good at maintaining this intention in 2021 and I attribute that to the seven tips I'm sharing...

Something I absolutely love is when people I respect share a behind-the-scenes look into their companies. It can be incredibly inspiring and motivating to see what other female founders are accomplishing, so I hope that sharing my half year in review will do the same for you. The first half of 2021 saw 18 amazing accomplishments produced by myself and my team. I entered the year with the intention...

There is one marketing weapon stronger than every other tool, tactic, gimmick, and strategy out there. Not only will using this weapon allow you to niche down even deeper, but it will help you raise your prices and make more money. But the sad thing is, even after you learn what it is, most of you won't apply it. Now I know my teachings are bolder than other coaches, but that's because there is ma...

Whether you realize it or not, there are two major trends that are about to seriously impact your business. Most of the results in your business are under your ownership, but things that happen in your market and in the world are not. And these two things are not under your control. It's easy to miss these things because there is so much information directed at us. From free training to tools, the...

If you're like me, you've enjoyed watching the NBA playoffs this summer and admiring the incredible athletic feats of the players. One thing I've noticed is that their amazing feats would not be possible without the game's constraints: two nets, 10 players, 48 minutes of gameplay. It is inside those constraints that the magic happens, and it's the same for your business. Without constraint, chaos...

Before I had this coaching business, I had a very successful consulting business for over 10 years. It was great, but I eventually reached a point where I needed to shift mindsets, to stop doing the work, and start building an ecosystem.  So many women CEOs are at the same spot I was before I made the change. You know that if you get sick or don't show up, your business doesn't make money. You hav...

Do you know how much time you are spending on sales and marketing in your business? Are you aware of your net worth and key growth activities? If not, you could be preventing yourself and your business from growing and developing the resilience necessary to be as successful as possible. Measuring the effectiveness of what you are doing in your business is a crucial element of being an entrepreneur...

Contrary to popular belief, growing a business is not the be-all-end-all it's cracked up to be. Now, scaling a business, that's a whole other story. Growth and scale are not the same thing, and using them interchangeably only creates stress and confusion.  On a basic level, scaling sets you free and growth creates more problems. I don't know what your mission here on earth is, but I know you have...

We received an unprecedented number of emails and messages about episode 421, my conversation with Barbara Huson, about getting wired for wealth. So many of you were thanking us for that conversation and sharing your thoughts on aiming for wealth instead of riches.  One of the things that really stood out to me in that interview was Barbara's dedication to her focus, to her zone of genius. She has...

Many of you sell knowledge and transformative work to your clients and customers. Some of you are coaches, authors and podcasters, and others are expertise providers. In our programming, we teach you to package your expertise as intellectual property, but I want to invite you to take it even deeper.  I share what I share in these podcasts and in our programs to help you think more deeply about you...

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Revenue is vanity and profit is sanity"? The idea is that it's not how much money you make, it's actually how much of it you keep . There are plenty of 7-figure earners out there, but not all of them are wealthy. Some are actually broke. I would love for you to both make and keep a ton of money because doing so brings so much peace of mind and freedom. To help you...

Your business doesn't exist in a vacuum. You're part of a global supply chain with the team members you employ, the contractors you hire, and the customers from other countries who buy from you. Then there's the money you take out of your business and spend in your local economy.  As a business owner, you are part of a big global money tapestry called the economy. And learning about that tapestry...

You have a message to share with your people about who you are and what your business does. But, the idea of showing up on video to share that message paralyzes you. Stepping into the spotlight seems terrifying, and this fear prevents you from sharing your message. As the CEO of your company, and especially if you're a company of one, it's very important to be a spokesperson for your organization...

I have a question for you. With what your business is currently offering, are you striving to serve your audience or to impress your peers? Meeting your audience where they're at makes sense, right? So then why is it so hard to do? I have seen it so many times. We get excited about the success of our business and we begin to overshoot our prospects, overwhelming the audience. Doing this impedes yo...

Today, we are exploring disqualify selling. Disqualification is all about drawing clear boundaries around who your brand, company, and offerings are not for. When you do it right, you can catapult your brand to cult status, grow your revenue to heights you've never seen, and make the process of closing sales much more elegant and refined.  At its core, the power of disqualification is the energy o...

Oh, and you're welcome. The power of content marketing comes from being able to transform a lead you have into a buyer. When you combine effective content creation with an effective distribution strategy, yo...

I have been on a mission lately to demonstrate the value and methodology behind group programs as a business instead of running yourself ragged with one-on-one coaching. While each of these can have a place in your business, it is highly valuable to dig into group programs so that you can avoid entrepreneurial overwhelm. I want to give you a great example of this today by highlighting an interview...

One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself about your business is what is most likely to hold me back from achieving my goals this year? This question might not sound like a very positive outlook, but hear me out. Getting clear on the most significant barriers to your growth is supremely powerful. For almost any entrepreneur and business, the single biggest obstacle you will face is t...

Building an email list isn't complex, it's actually quite simple. But when legions of hyper-activated bro-marketers are attempting to sell you secrets for rapid list growth, it's easy to overlook the power of a carefully built, highly qualified list of people who love you and your work. There are three core strategies that will allow you to craft that highly-qualified list, and surprise surprise,...

Environment is everything. And when it comes to scaling your business, one of the most celebrated environments for start-ups and entrepreneurs is arguably Silicon Valley. It's in this corner of San Francisco that you will find the titans of venture capitalists and trailblazers from various industries, but namely tech. My guest today is an expert on using the ecosystem Silicon Valley provides to sc...

If you want to scale your business so you can generate revenue without working 24/7, learning how to integrate team members who do what you do is critical. But how do you convince your clients to work with those team members when they come to your company to work with you? Last week we talked about scaling your business through group programs, and today we're continuing the conversation by talking...
