Business with Impact (Rachel McMichael)

Strategy is important, but it's not going to solve THIS problem…

I know that's kind of cryptic, but that's what we're going to talk about on today's episode.

Also…welcome back! We are back from a mid-season break that we decided to take since we had a lot going on over here in the Business With Impact brand.

We also had our annual, in-person and virtual hybrid event, called Impact Profit Live (which is for all of our current customers). And that two day event just wrapped up last week!

Let me just tell you…I am still reeling from all of the amazing experiences that we shared, all of the lessons that we talked through, and all of the implementation that happened! So on today's episode, I want to take you behind the scenes with me and share all that happened at that event + how what we learned could help you (right now!) in your online business!

Let's dive in!

There’s a lot happening in the world right now and this week, I have been talking to so many online business owners like you about how the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting your life and your business. 

Here in the US, many of our schools and local businesses are closed. We’ve seen shortages of toilet-paper and hand-sanitizer, and the economy has reacted swiftly to the ever-growing uncertainty.

And I’ve heard from so many of you about how this has affected you… from cancelled travel arrangements… to cancelled bookings… to trying to navigate how to work while the kids are home… and keep yourself and your family protected…

On this week's Business With Impact podcast, we’re interviewing leading experts in our industry to talk through how they’re responding and to get their best tips, strategies, and practices to recession-proof our businesses, protect our health, serve our families, and maintain financial peace. 

• Something that’s super critical to every business owner’s success… and the truth is – you can’t run your business without it.
• The first two sections of the CORE 5 -- Your Content + Audience - and how these strategies should pivot in the current economy.

On today's episode, we are talking all about the three metrics that we track every single week in our online business to make sure that we are hitting our goals!

Our motto is: trust your intuition when it comes to creating your messaging, and trust the data when it comes to how well it performed.

Here’s why this is so important:

When we track the numbers we can determine the ACTIVITY and ACTIONS that led to the results. And when we want more of these results, we can take more of those actions.

Facts: our goal is to grow our results AND make things more simple. Less time, less effort, more impact.

And this is possible because we track our metrics.

We aren’t emotionally attached to the metrics… because we know that they are simply FEEDBACK on what’s working and what’s not. And that feedback gives us the lessons that we need to scale smarter.

Why is it that most people start a business and fail in the first 18 months? On today’s Business With Impact Podcast episode, I'm going to share with you the most important decision I made in my business that changed everything: asking for help.

I want to share some behind the scenes of what happened and three ways to help you decide what your business needs. Because if you've got a big heart to serve others and you're ready to step into that purpose, but you're having trouble getting in front of those people...That can change starting now.

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I'm so excited to be joined by my friend and wealth expert, Mel Abraham! Mel is the founder of Thoughtpreneur Academy & Business Breakthrough Academy where he helps entrepreneurs bring their businesses to the world and build the lifestyle that they want.

As online business owners and entrepreneurs, we know the importance of generating and earning an income through our business. But when it comes to wealth management, we may not know what to do with the money that we're earning. On today's episode, Mel dives into the steps we need to be taking when it comes to our money, the mistakes that we might have been making, and whether or not it's too late for you to get started.

Last week in our Accelerate Your Success Facebook group, my friend and coach, James Wedmore, came and shared his thoughts on sales, niching down, on marketing, and on success. And in today's Business With Impact podcast episode, I wanted to share a clip from that conversation that we had.

Today's episode is a short one, but I know you're going to get a lot of value from it!

In this episode we're talking about a consistent theme that we see and hear from our clients when it comes to the behind-the-scenes launch!

And in this episode we’re sharing how to set clear goals and clear expectations for your launch so that when things come up in your launch (spoiler: because they will!) you can handle them with confidence.

On today's episode I'm interviewing Zach Spuckler, the founder of Heart, Soul & Hustle and host of a podcast by the same name. Zach teaches business owners how to leverage Facebook Ads and Launches to strategically maximize leads, conversions, and sales – and ultimately profit! At just 25, Zach has helped his students execute six-figure launches and create sustainable sales funnels that leverage Facebook Ads that allow them to work less and profit more.

Have you ever been told that in order to have predictability in your business and with your income, you have to have a recurring revenue stream? Well on today’s Business With Impact episode, I’m going to bust that myth right out of the water!

Predictability in our business comes from understanding our numbers. I'm going to show you that no matter what your niche is and no matter what your service is…you, too, can have predictability in your online business!

On today's episode, we are continuing the conversation about how we use the data to make decisions in our business.

The problem we see right now with so many struggling business owners is that they're not tracking the data. 

And because they're not tracking the data, they don't get the results that they were expecting, so they make it mean something about them. 

But what if instead, moving forward, what if you fully embraced and knew that the story the data is telling you means nothing about you. 

It means nothing about your worth. It doesn't even necessarily mean anything about your program. 

All it means is that there's something happening that is causing those who would be a good fit for your program to think that they're not right now. 

(Probably something with the way you’re communicating about your program. Not the content in your program, but the way you communicate about the program). 

And when we can start to work on that, can you already start to see how the result will change? 

This is why metrics matter. This is why I get so passionate about the data in your business.

Because when we understand this, we can scale!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast we're talking all about lead generation and how to attract leads that actually want to buy what you have to sell. 

In the first half of today’s episode, we’re diving into two big mistakes that so many online business owners, coaches, and course creators make that could be leaving thousands and thousands of dollars on the table. 

And in the second half, I’m sharing three practical, tangible, easy steps to create a lead magnet that converts and answering questions like: How can you create something that speaks to their needs while keeping them interested in what you have to offer?

Before you sit down to stress over creating an opt-in that really REALLY works, save yourself the frustration by taking a few minutes to listen to this episode so you can move on to doing what you’re really meant to do: serve your community and the people who need what you have to offer the most!

Have you ever noticed that some people seem like overnight successes? It feels like they just started their business yesterday and now they've hit a big milestone or a big goal, while others seem to struggle through it for years without much to show for it.

Why is that? Why is it that most people start a business and fail in the first 18 months? On today’s Business With Impact Podcast episode, I'm going to share with you the most important decision I made in my business that changed everything.

I am not an overnight success, but some may think I am. I want to share some behind the scenes of what happened and three ways to help you decide what your business needs. 

Because if you've got a big heart to serve others and you're ready to step into that purpose, but you're having trouble getting in front of those people...That can change starting now.

In this episode of The Business With Impact Podcast, we're talking to author and speaker, Christy Wright!

We discuss Christy’s NEW book: Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance!

This book is a message that Christy has been working on and living out in her own life and it's something that, I think, is so needed in every business owner's life! We've been defining life balance all wrong, and in this episode (and in Christy's book!), we discuss the new way we should be defining life balance!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast we're diving into why the ‘one thing’ is the most important thing in your business.

Before we talk about what the ‘one thing’ is, I share one of the biggest mistakes that I see so many entrepreneurs make in their business. 

Then we debunk some advice and rules given to growing entrepreneurs that just doesn’t make sense, including some of the lies we’ve been telling ourselves since the beginning (spoiler alert: these lies have been holding us back ever since!) 

In this two-part series, we're talking all things content creation... but not just any content creation... content that converts.

If content hasn’t felt simple yet – in this two-part series of the Business With Impact Podcast we’re going to break down 3 things you can start doing to simplify your content creation – we’re talking content in as little as 30 minutes a week… but we’re also talking about content with a purpose – so that you can find the customers who need your help and lead them to your product / program / or service.

Because if you know that you’re purposed to serve others, but you can’t get your message in front of the people who need it the most – well, that’s the definition of staying stuck, right?

We can all agree that every brand / product / service that you use right now has mastered at least some ability to communicate who they are and who they serve… in a way that people get it, they want it, and they buy it.

Today on the Business With Impact podcast, our focus is all about how we get to choose our responses to every situation or season of business we may find ourselves in.

Did you know that the grass is not always greener on the other side? The grass is actually greener where we water it.

Unfortunately, so many of us are too busy looking at other people wishing that we had their grass, wishing that we lived in their house, wishing that we could own their fields– and the reality is while we're sitting here complaining about our dry grass, we don’t realize that our dry grass is only dry because we haven't chosen to water it.

So we have a choice: We can complain about our dry grass and wish we had someone else's grass. Or we can start watering.

Have you ever been told that in order to have predictability in your business and with your income, you have to have a recurring revenue stream?

Well on today’s Business With Impact episode, I’m going to bust that myth right out of the water!

This is by far one of my favorite topics to discuss! But I have to warn you… predictability in our business doesn't come from some of those really fancy, exciting new marketing strategies that you’ll see all over your social media feeds... Predictability in our business comes from understanding our numbers.

I'm going to show you that no matter what your niche is and no matter what your service is… you, too, can have predictability in your online business!

Revenue seems to get a lot of attention in the online space. We hear about $10K months and we hear about seven figure success…

But what doesn't seem to get a lot of attention is the thing that we actually care about the most in our online business… And that is how much of that revenue stays in our bank account as PROFIT.

On today's episode, that's exactly what we're going to talk about. What’s the difference between the two and does it really matter? Let’s dive in!

We're talking about the key ingredients to your successful offer and what every launch must have in order to help your buyer make the decision that your product is one that they can't live without!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I'm joined by Lindsay Nadler from The Passionista Podcast. Lindsey believes that passion is EVERYTHING and is on a mission to empower women to become confident leaders that boldly chase their God-given dreams. She is a life and business coach, and the creator of The Passionista Community where she helps women go from struggling hobbyists to confident CEO's and leaders that effectively monetize their passion online.

Lindsay dives in today into some incredible things that I think are so important for us as female entrepreneurs! She talks about the importance of knowing your passion, about knowing when to pivot, about staying intentional with REST, and we even have a really fun conversation all about Julia Roberts in the movie Runaway Bride and how she's trying to decide which eggs she likes and how that is a whole lot like entrepreneurship and running your own online business.

Recently I sent out an email and I asked you to ask me your most pressing business questions…

The first question that came in was this one, it said, “How can I keep excited about what seems to be the same topics over and over again? Sometimes I feel like I don't have anything new to say, so I'm just not consistent.”

Believe it or not, this is such a normal place for online business owners to be.

Let’s talk about it!

You've probably heard us say that building an online business is simple, but it's not easy…

So often struggling entrepreneurs come to us because they feel like online business is this puzzle and they know what it's supposed to look like, but it feels like a piece is missing. And so often, we think that’s because we're missing a key process.

If you’ve found yourself saying, “If only I had this tool, if only I knew this next step”...you might have a process problem. 

In today's episode, we're going to talk all about the third P in our three P’s series and that is process and we're going to help you identify if process is really your problem.

I'm breaking down the biggest mistakes I see most online business owners and course creators make when it comes to their sales page, and dishing all the details on what you can do instead! 

On today's episode, I'm interviewing Tiffany Lee Bymaster, aka Coach Glitter, a camera confidence coach, branding expert, and pro make-up artist and stylist from CoachGlitter.com.

There’s a lot happening in the world right now and this week, I have been talking to so many online business owners like you about how the coronavirus COVID-19  pandemic has been affecting your life and your business. 

Here in the US, many of our schools and local businesses are closed. We’ve seen shortages of toilet-paper and hand-sanitizer, and the economy has reacted swiftly to the ever-growing uncertainty.

And I’ve heard from so many of you about how this has affected you… from cancelled travel arrangements… to cancelled bookings… to trying to navigate how to work while the kids are home… and keep yourself and your family protected…

Here at McMichael Consulting LLC, we have been taking things very seriously and are shifting things both for our team and our customers.

So, on today’s episode, we’re going to talk through three ways that we approach this with our Business With Impact Academy™ members…some of which are a very different way to ask these questions in your business!

And we’ll even throw in a few things that we wouldn't recommend doing when it comes to pricing your offer…some mistakes we often see in the online business world.

On today’s episode, I’m interviewing Jasmin Niemiec, the business coach and mentor from CoachJasmin.com, about how she stands out boldly as a leader and how she is able to have such an amazing impact on her team, all while maintaining the growth of her business. Jasmin Niemiec is the Business Coach and Network Marketing Mentor behind CoachJasmin.com. She helps Moms build a business from home that allows them to replace their salary and be home with their kids.

Chances are if you're anything like me, you started your business because you crave freedom and flexibility. 

You want to be a great mom, a great wife, and a great business owner. You want to serve your community. You want to be able to go above and beyond for them. But not at the expense of your kids or your family. You want to create a legacy.

And let me tell you, that is absolutely possible!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

On today’s episode, I'm so excited to be sharing with you 5 ways that I've learned to “balance” (and I use the word balance in quotes because it’s really more about harmony than balance, #amIright?!) being a mom and a business owner!

In this episode you'll hear James' mission of truly wanting to help the digital entrepreneur step into the CEO role of their business and leave behind the mentality of working like the underpaid, overworked intern. James shares how he has been able to build an entire program that helps entrepreneurs automate and systematize the whole process of business-owning. 

There’s a lot happening in the world right now and this week, I have been talking to so many online business owners like you about how the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting your life and your business. 

Here in the US, many of our schools and local businesses are closed. We’ve seen shortages of toilet-paper and hand-sanitizer, and the economy has reacted swiftly to the ever-growing uncertainty.

And I’ve heard from so many of you about how this has affected you… from cancelled travel arrangements… to cancelled bookings… to trying to navigate how to work while the kids are home… and keep yourself and your family protected…

On this week's Business With Impact podcast, we’re interviewing leading experts in our industry to talk through how they’re responding and to get their best tips, strategies, and practices to recession-proof our businesses, protect our health, serve our families, and maintain financial peace. 

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I’m joined by my friend Jasmine Shea from Your Dinner Is Planned, the author of over a dozen healthy cookbooks, and the host of the Dinner Table Talk podcast. What I love about this episode is that we really dive into content and owning your message.

Jasmine specifically talks about being bold and polarizing and vulnerable– What does that looks like, what doesn't it look like? As a part of this episode, we lay down a framework that I know you're going to want to follow as you start creating your thought leadership content in your own business!

One of the questions I get asked all of the time is, “how do I decide what to invest in and when to invest in my business?

It can feel like a lot. Am I right? And so if you've been asking this question (and it's a good question to ask for your business), this episode is for you!

Today on the Business With Impact Podcast, I'm going to share the three questions I always ask before making any business investment decisions!

On today's episode, I'm interviewing Jen Casey a business strategy and mindset coach and the host of the Inner Boss Podcast. In this episode you'll hear how Jen teaches her clients to transform their mindset and overcome their fears so that they can transform the way they do sales on social media.

On today's episode of the Business with Impact Podcast we're talking about how to know when and if to invest in your online business.

I'm breaking down the exact three questions I ask every time I'm deciding to invest - whether that's a course, a program, or even a new laptop. 

Jessica spent 20 years in the UK Publishing industry where she worked for a number of the ‘Big 3’ publishing houses as a Marketing Director, with everyone from first time authors up to household names like John Grisham and Stephen King. She now helps entrepreneurs write and publish books that leave a lasting impact and grow their influence.

We just got back from an incredible two-day weekend at our Impact Profit Live in-person and virtual hybrid event!

And on today's episode, we're going to recap three of the biggest lessons that our attendees shared with us. I'm excited for you to learn alongside me. Let's dive in!

Welcome to part four of our five part MPACT series where we are breaking down our signature process–our MPACT Method–for scaling your online business and generating that momentum + how to do it in as little as four hours a day, four days a week.

You can catch part one, part two, and part three here, but don’t be afraid to dive in right now and go back though these episodes later!

In this episode we're talking all about content creation! This episode is for you…

→  If you feel like you're creating great content, but no one's hearing it, despite being super consistent…

→ If you feel like you never know what to say and you’re the most inconsistent person with content…

→ If you feel like you just keep spinning your wheels, trying new things, but content creation feels more like throwing spaghetti at the wall.

So often we tend to get caught up in this content creation piece as business owners. And it's not that we don't have good content. It's not that we’re not smart, creative individuals (you wouldn't be in online business if you weren't a smart, creative individual!)...

But what happens is that maybe our timing's a little off or, or the location is off, or the messaging is off…and that’s what we want to help you fix in this episode! Content creation should be simple.

There's a better way. There's a better strategy. There's a better method. And that's exactly what we're gonna dive into on today's episode!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I'm going to be airing out my dirty laundry for you.

Okay, not really, but I am about to make a really big confession about my laundry and then tell you why that confession is just like our entrepreneurship journey. 

I’m so excited for you to hear today’s episode because I know in some way, you will be able to relate, too.

So get a pen and paper, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s dive in together as we talk about staying steadfast in our journey of entrepreneurship!

On today's episode I'm interviewing Heather Schisler, the Founder of PassionForSavings.com which reaches over 15 Million unique people on an annual basis. Heather's expertise in both in store and online shopping as well as her direct connection to consumers in social channels gives her a unique perspective on today's consumer.

This is an amazing episode that I know you’re going to love… let’s dive in!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I’m am so excited to be joined by my friend and Mastermind sister, Jasmine Star of Social Curator. Today's conversation with Jasmine is one that is going to leave you empowered, inspired, and encouraged to stay committed, stay courageous, and stay consistent in your business.

Jasmine is going to share some of the obstacles that she had to overcome to get where she's at today and then we're going to talk about some incredible things that she's been doing in her own business to help entrepreneurs like you and I find our voice and lead confidently and courageously.

On today’s episode, I am really excited to introduce you to Michelle Lake!

Michelle coaches endurance athletes and I had the honor of meeting Michelle in-person just over a year ago. One of the things that impressed me the most about Michelle is that she is so good at speaking to her ideal client on social media.

Now, when I say speaking to her ideal client, I don't mean just posting content… I mean, she's really good at getting in people's minds. 

Have you ever read a post from someone you follow online and thought, “Has she been following me around? How did she know that I was thinking that? How did she know that I was experiencing that problem in my business?” – That’s the power of getting this right!

In this episode we’ll talk about why content is where your first class clients can come from, how to get better at content creation, and mindset shifts centered around our content as business owners. There’s SO much for you to hear in this episode!

Let’s dive in!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I am so excited to introduce you to my friend, James Wedmore! 

On today's episode, James and I are taking you behind-the-scenes of a $197 training he created (and for a limited time, you can get it for FREE at rachelmcmichael.com/accelerate) and we're talking specifically about the role that failure has played in our success.

Then I want to encourage you to get out a pen, get out some paper, and get ready to take some notes because today's episode was created for you and with you in mind!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast, we're talking about one of my favorite topics.

MINDSET.

But if you would’ve asked me several years ago if this is one of my favorite topics… I would have laughed at you, rolled my eyes, and groaned inwardly. I thought that business really can't just be about mindset.

But you know what I’ve learned? That MINDSET is absolutely one of the main things that separates a hustling overwhelmed entrepreneur from an Impactful CEO.

And while there is absolutely action and strategy that must take place in order for you to go where you need to go, and do what you need to do in your online business, the thing that will have you actually taking those actions and putting yourself out there is a strong mindset.

And when you're willing to make these shifts in your business, they will set you up to be able to do the things you need to do. So let's dive in as we talk about four of these big lessons that I had to learn in my own business!

Welcome to Part Three of our five part series!

Today we're talking all about building an audience or driving traffic to that content that we created in Part 1 and Part 2! So if you haven't yet listened to those two episodes, start there first!

We don't just want to build an audience, we want to build an audience of people who actually need our product, program, or service!

That's why we got into business in the first place...to help people who are struggling with the problem we know how to fix. So how do we do that? We’re talking all about that today!

Content Creation Experts Kristen Van Horn and Kelli Tobin from The Biz Runners are our guest for today’s episode and I’m SO excited for all that you’re going to hear and learn!

Not only have Kristen & Kelli helped me tremendously with content creation in my own business, but we've linked arms together to help you, too! 

If you've ever struggled with not knowing what to post on social media…. If it takes you more than 10 minutes a day to write out your caption… if you’ve “scrolled for inspiration” in the last week… then this episode is for you.

In today’s episode you’re going to learn all about common mistakes and misconceptions when it comes to social media content creation, how we plan out our content for the month in as little as 30 minutes, and how we take that plan and turn it into captions + graphics for our clients to make content simple! 

Let’s talk about it!

I remember the very first time that I started a group coaching program and the first six weeks were focused exclusively on mindset.

I'll never forget emailing the coach and asking, “Can we please just fast forward to the good stuff?” Because all I wanted was the strategy, the system, the step by step process.

Little did I know that those first six weeks would build a foundation that would then allow me to scale my business to six figures, and eventually, beyond that.

Today I'm so excited to introduce you to Brad Bizjack! He is the king of helping people rewire their brains, change their thoughts, and really focus on any hidden beliefs that come up for online business owners–the things that are unknowingly stopping us from taking the action we need to take to get the results we want to get. 

I can’t wait to discuss all of these things and more with you on today’s episode. Let’s dive in!

Today on the Business With Impact I'm so excited to introduce you to my friend and the founder of the Think Fit Method, Jenny Mire! 

Jenny coaches women on whole body wellness and she's here today to talk through some of the current fitness trends that we see that we may think are a great idea but are actually harmful to our overall results.

Jenny and I connected several years ago back when I was in the fitness scene and I’ve been a fan of hers ever since! I'm so excited for you to get to hear her heart about why she incorporates the entire mind, body, and soul connection as she teaches fitness to her clients!

On today's episode I'm interviewing Bobby Klinck, the founder of YourOnlineGenius.com and a lawyer, but he’s not your typical lawyer. Bobby is a full-fledged online entrepreneur, whose area of expertise is the law. He helps other online entrepreneurs safeguard their online businesses. His goal is to make it all a bit more fun and less daunting for entrepreneurs like you to deal with the “legal stuff.”

In today's episode, I'm breaking down step by step, what to work on and when in your online business. 

This episode is a message that I think all entrepreneurs should know. 

So let's start with a quick question: What's your time worth? No, you don't have to DM me with an exact number, but you can if you want to. (My handle's @rachelrmcmichael on Instagram). 

But I'm willing to bet that number would be pretty high… especially if we were valuing your time at where you want your business to be, even in the next six months or a year. 

Especially as an entrepreneur, right? 

As an entrepreneur, our time is our most precious resource. It's our most valuable asset. 

Which means every second that we spend unclear in our business can mean another dollar from our pocket and another potential client who doesn't get the help that we know that we can provide. 

But that doesn't need to happen to you. 

There are steps that you can take to start creating major results in your business right now, and all you need to do is start taking small, simple actions that will help you get there.

So if you've ever asked the question: “What do I work on first?” Or “What do I do next?” Or “How do I decide I've got so many things on my to-do list? How do I even prioritize it?” Then this episode is for you.

Today on the Business With Impact podcast we're diving into the five most important processes every online business needs. 

We talk all the time about how 80% of our results in our business can be attributed to 20% of our activities. And we talk all the time about the Core 5 processes that contribute to these 20% activities. On today’s episode, we’re going to dive into the most important processes for each of our Core 5 areas (customer support, sales, lead generation, traffic, and content creation).

So let’s dive in!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I'm going to be sharing what you need to be doing today to prepare for your Black Friday promotion and three mistakes that I see most online business owners making when it comes to their Black Friday promotions.

If you've been considering having a black Friday promotion this year, then this episode is for you.

You've probably heard me say at some point that you are one well-executed launch strategy away from your business breakthrough.

But what do I mean when I say “launch”? How are we defining “launching”? What is that big, fancy word? If we're not talking about rocket ships, what are we setting in motion?

We know that launching is such an important part of your business because if you’re not launching, then you’re not selling. And so when we’re speaking about launching, we’re speaking specifically about the sales mechanism that you select in and for your business.

So, on today’s episode we’re going to talk about that, but we’re also going to redefine launching in today’s polarized business culture.

In our business, we look at problems a lot differently than most other businesses—We actually celebrate our problems!

But I haven't always been great at how I look at problems. I would make it mean a whole lot of things about myself, about the business, and my worth that it didn’t really mean.

So, if you're reading this right now and that's you…just know that's really normal.

But I also want to tell you that when I started to approach problems differently in my business, it allowed me to grow in leadership so that my business could grow and expand quicker than I could have ever imagined!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I'm so excited to welcome my friend and mastermind sister, Nicole Culver. Today, Nicole is going to be talking to us about all things related to starting.

I know so many times in our online businesses, we say things like “I feel stuck” and in today's episode, Nicole's going to walk through what she does when she’s feeling stagnant in her business. Not only that, we’re also going to be talking mindset and we’re busting some industry MYTHS that keep so many business owners from taking those next steps...

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I'm so excited to be joined by Stephanie May Wilson! Stephanie is an author, a podcaster, a speaker, and the go-to guide for 20 & 30-something women as they navigate their most important relationships.

On today's episode I'm interviewing Rachel Perry, co-founder of The Tag Team Party Peeps, host of the Making the Leap podcast, and a business coach for lady bosses who want to get beyond the limiting beliefs and stories that are holding them back from making 6-figures in their businesses. Rachel not only is she an entrepreneur on the cusp of her first 7-figure year but she also juggles being a mom, wife and CEO just like you.

Today on the Business With Impact I want to talk about this thing that we call success.

Why is it that some people seem to accomplish so much in their day? That it looks like they're checking every box off of their well-designed to do list? While others who have the same big plans, the same grand vision, and strong work ethic but at the end of the day, they are left feeling like they really didn't get much done?

If you could fully tap into your vision, and your mission, and your potential, what would that look like for you? What would that change for your business, for your family? How would life change if you were able to be more productive, if you were able to hit your goals consistently?

We’re going to talk about all of that and more today...so let’s dive in!

For Part One of this Two Part series of the Business With Impact podcast, I'm interviewing one of my good friends (and my own business coach) James Wedmore, founder of the Mind Your Business Podcast and his flagship program, Business By Design.

One of the biggest mistakes most business owners make is caring WAY too much about what others think... and all this does is keep us in our cozy little comfort zones.

Well, you know what happens when we let fear creep in and keep us in our comfort zones? Absolutely nothing happens. Nothing happens in our businesses. Nothing happens in our own personal development.

But the growth? The success? That happens on the outside of our comfort zones. Which is why I’m so excited for you to hear today’s special two-part episode!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I am so excited to introduce you to my friend and mastermind sister, Coach Christie Miller! Christie is known as the health coach’s coach because she works with men and women who want to get off the sidelines and play to win.

On today's episode, Christie is going to talk about how she got to where she's at today, how she shows up and stays visible, and her best advice for the fellow entrepreneur if you feel like you're sitting on the sidelines or having trouble getting visible in your own business.

So get ready to get out of pen and paper and to take some notes! I know you're going to walk away from today's episode inspired and encouraged, just like I was!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast we're diving into how you can create a week's worth of content in 30 minutes or less.

When we get this right, we create content that connects with our audience, positions us as the authority, and creates a demand for our products and services.

What is your new normal in business? Are you currently pivoting? Well on today’s Business With Impact episode, I’m sharing the audio from the RISE Summit that my friend, Dr. Shannon invited me to be a part of.

On today's episode, we're diving into what's changing in our business and answering questions from the summit attendees all about selling, discounting, and more!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I am so excited to be joined by my good friend, Natalie Eskew! Using her spiritual gifts of encouragement, discernment, and teaching, God has placed her in varying leadership positions. Her social media course, Your Story HIS Glory, teaches everyone how to use what God is doing in their life to point others to Jesus.
