061: Profit First with Mike Michalowicz Jul 30, 2020

Show notes

You probably started your business to make money doing something you love, to have financial freedom, and to finally have PEACE in your life. Then, you started your business and discovered that financial freedom and peace were the FARTHEST things from happening as you worked, hustled, and tried to tame the BEAST that your business became. You got into business to be PROFITABLE, right? Yet so often as entrepreneurs we pay ourselves LAST with whatever leftover money we have if any. Today's guest is about to BLOW your mind in the best way possible and teach you HOW to be profitable in your business starting NOW.

We had the honor of chatting with the brilliant Mike Michalowicz!

Mike is the creator of Profit First, which is used by hundreds of thousands of companies across the globe to drive profit. He is the creator of Clockwork, a powerful method to make any business run on automatic. And his latest, arguably most impactful discovery, is Fix This Next. In Fix This Next, Mike details the strategy businesses can use to determine what to do, in what order, to ensure healthy, fast, permanent growth (and avoid debilitating distractions).

059: Creating Viral Content, How to Market Yourself with a Soul Focus, TikTok, and Avoiding Burnout with Quigley and Alex Goode Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

Today's episode is a TREAT for you. We chatted with the incredible Quigley AND her husband Alex!

Quigley, aka Casey Goode, is a digital content creator based in Los Angeles, CA. Her mission is to inspire mindfulness in human relationships through a vibrant and exciting visual narrative of lifestyle driven content. In 2019, she launched her first online class, Soulcial Media, a self-care and mindset class for content creators. She also recently opened her Soulcial Store, which includes her long-awaited Posing Guide. Quigley and her husband Alex are expecting their first child in October 2020, and wow they're gonna be the cutest parents ever.

We sat down with Quigley and Alex and talked ALL about social media. We focused on creating viral content, how to stand out and be yourself, how to avoid burnout, creating content with a soul-focus, how to stay inspired while creating a lot of content, and how to say "GOODBYE" to the comparison game. We even dived into TikTok, whether or not you should be using it as a content creator (hint: you should!) and how to harness the power of viral videos on the app to grow your audience and expand your marketing. Quigley and Alex chatted about working together as a couple and how they've navigated that journey. This episode is PURE gold in every possible way, we are stoked about all the free knowledge these two dropped.

If you want to know how we get movement based images where our clients don't look like department store mannequins and the strategies behind what we do to make them comfortable BEFORE we ever touch our camera, then buckle up cause this episode is gonna be good!

Let's teach you how to get those wildly candid and carefree poses out of your clients!

057: Trademarks, Copyrights, Intellectual Property, DBAs, and Contracts with Rachel Brenke Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

If you struggle with the legal side of your business and terms like "trademarks, copyrights, intellectual property, DBA, LLC, contracts" freak you out, then keep listening!

Today we're talking to the incredible Rachel Brenke.

Rachel is a lawyer, MBA & Business Consultant, and entrepreneur. She helps entrepreneurs succeed in their business by being efficient, strategic, and legally protecting themselves.

This conversation is a GOLD MINE of information. It has taken us YEARS and THOUSANDS of dollars (and lots of mistakes) to learn what she drops in today's show. We polled our podcast Facebook group (aka YOU!) to see what questions you wanted Rachel to answer and she dove DEEP on each one.

We dive into why and how contracts are set up, if you should have different contracts for different projects, and if contracts are state specific. Rachel also talks about intellectual property, copyrights, and trademarks. We even tackle questions about business formation, changing your business name, DBA's, LLCs, and all that jazz.

If you're an entrepreneur (and not a lawyer) this episode is SOLID GOLD information. Rachel's such a joy and we're so excited for you to learn from her today.

056: How to Get Through The Slump of Continued Quarantine Jul 14, 2020

Show notes

We can probably all agree that this year has been a LOT.

This year has been really rough. We as people were not made to live our entire lives in a box with no in-person communication. We were NOT built that way, and we can see the affects this quarantine is having on our emotional, physical, and mental health.

We wanted to spend an episode chatting with you about how to get through the continued slump of COVID 19 and the quarantining that comes with it because there IS hope. Things are starting to open again. Life will not always be this way. Now, more than ever, it's vital to cling to that hope and not give in to hopelessness or despair.

Today's episode we're making it super conversational, sharing our real, raw thoughts, and giving you some tips that have helped us keep going through quarantine. We hope this episode gives you encouragement and brings joy and life to you wherever you are today.

We also touched on a topic that is SO important especially as women: the difference between confidence and arrogance and how a lot of times as women we downplay our accomplishments because we're often too afraid to raise our hand or put ourselves out there. If you deal with fear of failure, perfectionism, self-doubt, or being afraid to get in the game you need Regan's wisdom in your life.
