3 Ways CEOs Make Time in Their Business Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

Over the last few years, I’ve noticed that one of the biggest struggles for women entrepreneurs isn’t that they don’t have great ideas to grow their business. The problem is we don’t have time to work on the big picture. The day to day of running any business is full of things to do like posting on social media, answering emails, and working with clients. But all of these tasks that fill up most of our working hours fall under the category of working in your business. What about working on your business? How do you find the dedicated time to work on the big picture? In this episode, I’ll dive into my top three time management tips to help you build in more CEO time in your business.

Boundaries Are a CEO’s Best Friend Apr 01, 2021

Show notes

When you’re first getting started in your business, saying yes is your go-to answer for nearly anything whether it’s meeting up for coffee, meeting at 8 o’clock at night, or adding more things to do to your project. Suddenly, you’re saying yes to say many things, it starts to get a little out of control. As your business starts to grow and you take on more clients, all of those yeses start to mean no to doing the CEO-level work you need to be focusing on. In this episode, I talk about setting boundaries as a CEO, so you can feel more confident and comfortable saying no in order to say yes to the work you’re truly here to do.

How Caroline Howes Filled Her Client Docket in 6 Weeks! Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

What would your first steps be if you were starting a brand new business after you had to start your life completely over?

That's what Caroline Howe was thinking at the end of 2020. She had lost her previous business, had gone through a divorce, and was ready to quit her job to revolutionize the way we work.

Listen in to our conversation where Caroline shares::

How she prioritized the need for clients and cash-flow, right now, instead of waiting years to build up an audience to launch online courses and products.
The exact way she tapped into her existing network via LinkedIn and personal emails to announce her new business venture.
Why leading with value via a free survey helped her potential clients immediately see the value in working with Caroline - and led to booking over $100K in revenue within 6 weeks of launching her business.

The Truth about The Fastest Path to Cash Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

Things are humming right along in your business and life. Then, an unexpected bill lands on your desk. Maybe you found out your entire HVAC system needs replacing, or your kid stayed in the hospital for a few nights and now you’re looking at a big medical bill. Or perhaps you forgot to put away enough for taxes and discovered the need to quickly catch up. Any entrepreneur will find themselves in a situation where you gotta come up with some cash really quickly.

So what do you do when you’re in that situation? In this episode, I talk about the fastest path to cash and why it’s better than the alternatives. Don’t worry; it’s not creating an entirely new offer, coming up with a passive income product on the fly, or offering a huge discount or flash sale. Let’s dive in! https://rachealcook.com/fastest-path-to-cash/

Behind The Scenes Bonus:: Why REST is a Strategic Advantage Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

Growing your business to the next-level takes wayyy more than next-level marketing and sales tactics.

It takes next-level leadership for your team, your clients, and your community - and leading so many people requires self-leadership FIRST.

That's why in this behind the scenes episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from a recent live strategy and support call that I hosted inside The CEO Collective. Every single week, I not only show up for lightning round strategy Q&A, but also to address the challenges that we've all come up against in our business.

Over the last year, we've talked about everything from navigating the pandemic, showing up as an imperfect ally during Black Lives Matter, juggling virtual school + running a business, an intense election year, and so much more.

The Unsexy Secret to How She Grew 162% Working Less Than 30 Hours a Week Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

If you've been listening to the recent Unsexy Secrets to Sustainable Success Series, you might be thinking 'This all sounds too simple. How will I know that slowing down to implement these strategies will actually help me grow?' then this episode is a must listen.
When you've been surrounded by the hustle harder hype, it seems completely counter-intuitive that slowing down and strategically planning can be the key to unlocking your success.
That's why I'm thrilled to interview CEOs Paula Billig and Nichole Lynn to share how implementing the 90 Day CEO System into their business has not only helped them to burnout proof their business, but has been the key to consistent growth over the last year including growing revenue by over 162%.

Ready to Break Free From the Top Secret Entrepreneur Lab? Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever felt like your business was stuck, like it had plateaued at a certain level of success?

No matter what you tried, however many courses you took, or whatever trending tips, tricks, and tactics you attempted to implement, you couldn’t move forward and get to that illusive next level of success.

In this episode, I continue with part two of this Unsexy Secrets to Sustainable Success series, so keep listening if this sounds familiar. You’ll hear the amazing story of how one of my clients, Xonna Clark, got out of what I call the “top secret entrepreneur lab” and exceeded her monetary goals starting in her first full month in business...without an email list, social media, or any real online presence.

You’ll also discover how to break out of the secret entrepreneur lab yourself so you can start seeing consistent clients and cash flow in your business.
