Show notes

In this episode I'm joined by video and YouTube strategist Trena Little, whose passion is helping online business owners create a video content strategy that works for their business.

Being a busy business owner herself, Trena understands the importance of making video simple and painless, but effective and lasting.

I just love that she describes her Youtube videos as being her "sales team" and they do the heavy lifting for free (seriously, how cute is that?!)

By the end of our chat together, you'll hear it become really clear to me that I want to jump in with Youtube (pssst, Boss Mom TV anyone?!) and whether you're already doing video in your business or not, I know you'll walk away with some valuable tips and strategies to leverage Youtube in your business.

Show notes

We are nearly halfway through this year, so NJ and I thought it would be the perfect time to revisit the goals we set at the start of the year.

Doing check-ins with yourself and your goals is a brilliant way to keep yourself on track, reign yourself back in if you've gotten off track, and it can help you see all the progress that has been made, even if you're still feeling like there's a long way to go still.

In this episode I'm joined by Dawn Marrs of Marrs Marketing and we are chatting all about how to navigate your way through funnels and create funnels that work - for you and your ideal customers!

Episode 207: Why Company Culture Has to Change with Monica Froese May 18, 2017

Show notes

In this episode I am chatting with Monica Froese all about the realities of being a working mom, the plethora of things that need to be changed in corporate company culture and how women can create better work arrangements for themselves and their families.

Monica Froese is a mom, wife, author, and entrepreneur with an MBA degree in finance and a wildly popular blog, Redefining Mom, that she writes to empower working moms to find flexible work arrangements.

She has traveled to the White House to discuss family-friendly workplace policies and helps moms find their version of balance through building online businesses and escape the 9-5.

Monica has a wealth of knowledge to share and this conversation ended up being such a cool back and forth dialogue about both of our corporate experiences, and how we can all play a part in changing the game for working moms everywhere.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

How experiencing postpartum PTSD from a traumatic birth and being expected back at work fueled Monica's passion for empowering working women, and her desire to work for herself, on her terms.
How she got her first big "break" that ended up getting her invited to the White House to participate in a Working Families roundtable event honoring people who have made a difference in the country for family-friendly policy.
Why and how she has chosen to structure her life and business in a way that works for her

Sponsor Spotlight: Trello

Have you been introduced you to what I call my "work wife" yet? If not, let me make the introduction. Meet Trello– the magical unicorn of amazingness that allows me to run my life, business and team with ease without completely and totally losing my mind (what's left of it anyway).

I believe every person with a life, home and business needs an awesome (and free!) place to manage their projects, schedules, homes and teams and keep everything important in their lives in one central spot that can be revisited time and time again while giving access to anyone else that needs it.

I love and believe in Trello so much that I created a super amazing, in-depth (free!) training that gives you a behind-the-scenes look into how exactly I use Trello to keep everything working like a well-oiled machine. Check it out here. I promise your life will never be the same.
