Here we are - part four - and this is one of my most favorite things to work on - MARKETING! So many people think they can just start a business and announce it once, and they're done, people will be flocking to them like crazy to pay them for what they do. The reality is that it just doesn't work that way. Here's my little truth bomb of glitter: It doesn't matter if you're the best at what you do - if you can't market & sell yourself, you won't be in business for long. You have probably heard me say it before, and I will probably say it in the next episode and several more for years to come - because it's absolutely true. Now the METHOD that you use to market yourself can vary greatly, there are so many strategies and techniques that you can choose from. But you absolutely must start talking about what you do, showing your work, and inviting people to work with you.

Bottom line - running a business is never EASY. If it was easy, everyone would do it, and yet we live in a culture that, while change is coming, is still made up primarily of employees. It takes courage to step out from what you know to start a business. And it takes even more courage to keep going when you reach a point where you feel like giving up. In today's episode we are going to talk about something that I have watched take down so many small businesses - they just STOP. What is the fix for this? It sounds simplistic and silly, but it is truly just DOING THE WORK. Listen in, then let me know your biggest takeaways!

Must Have Skills for Success in Business Part 1- Stay Teachable

This is part 1 of 7 - although if I'm being completely transparent, it might end up being more than 7. When I was writing down these skills, I started with 6, and more kept coming. There are a few things that business owners have mastered - and it's not necessarily what you think. YES, you should absolutely master your craft and know what you do inside and out. YES, it's important to know and follow all local laws to make sure that your business is legit. But SO MUCH of being successful in business has everything to do with YOU. Mastering the inner work, your mindset, overcoming your own head trash and blocks that might be stopping you. Anyone can download a blueprint, a step by step template, but two very different people can have the same exact blueprint, and yet have very different results - why is that? Today we are going to talk about what it means to stay TEACHABLE and to keep learning. This is rooted in some nasty trends that I'm seeing in my own industry, as well as others - namely, the ego that gets in the way when someone is offering some help, particularly help that was requested.

Systems, Boundaries & VIP Days with Jordan Gill {Ep 088}

Full shownotes: https://www.boldwithbrooke.com/088

As a service based business owner, we are inextricably tied to our businesses. Even when we have help in the form of a team, we are still tied to providing a service in order to be paid. Jordan Gill helps doers, service providers and CEO's to add another revenue stream with VIP Days. Jordan has a system that allows solopreneurs to create and sell larger offers so they can work less and live more. I'm absolutely guessing here, but if I had to estimate, I would say that 95% of my students go into business for themselves because they want FREEDOM in their lives. Embracing VIP days, boundaries and systems so that certain tasks can be automated takes some work up front, but is absolutely well worth it in the end! Listen in as Jordan and I talk about people pleasing, the mind trash that we all have in some form or another, and what VIP days can look like in YOUR business.

Full Shownotes: https://boldwithbrooke.com/087

Do you actively protect your time and energy? Not just in your business, but in your LIFE. Do you listen to those little nudges, and your intuition as a business owner? I have been in business technically for 16 years now and I can tell you with 100% honesty - I'm JUST learning this y'all. Our time and energy are SO valuable and yet we waste them consistently. I say this with love, because it is definitely something that I struggle with too. And listening to my gut is a lesson that I've had to learn over and over again - and usually those lessons aren't easy ones. Anyone else raising their hand when thinking of listening to that intuition as a business owner in dealing with difficult people? No? Just me? I didn't think so... Today's guest is Carla Reeves - a wife, mom of two boys, coach, consultant, mentor and passionate about squeezing the juice out of everyday life - her life's work is working with people who are ambitious for a different kind of more! Carla is an amazing coach, and I absolutely love this discussion! It's NEVER too late to start learning to listen to your intuition as a business owner, and to protect your time and energy fiercely.
