“Let’s go ahead and dive into our story, shall we?” says Priscilla, about how she and Lauren met and the experiences that led to founding Forward Female, their coaching and creative agency which helps female entrepreneurs reach their goals and find community. Priscilla always knew she wanted to work in news, and studied journalism at college in Texas before moving to L.A. to intern at Warner Brothers Studios and later work at Bumble in digital marketing. She hosted a brunch where she met Lauren, a graduate of L.A.’s Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising who at the time was a photographer and ran a creative agency. Lauren was lucky to find a wonderful mentor (NJ Falk) who showed her the ropes of business and entrepreneurship straight out of college which years later led into the beautiful business partnership they all three have today at Forward Female. 

Their meeting reiterates the crucial importance of networking, putting yourself out there, and building relationships. The two believe in manifestation and that all opportunities, people, and challenges are put in our lives for a reason, so that we can grow and evolve. Prior to them starting Forward Female they noticed that many people acted as gatekeepers to information and didn’t want to share their knowledge or help others. Women especially, tended to be cliquey and competitive rather than empowering and collaborative with each other. 

With all of these motivations in mind, the two set out to create a business with the idea that when women come together, everyone can succeed faster and more efficiently. You’ll hear them describe the early days of Forward Female, the way it evolved pre-and-post pandemic. And just how excited and grateful they are to have listeners join them as they continue along on this journey. 

Quotes

• “Networking is huge. The way you present yourself and put yourself out there, it's all about building those relationships. That's how beautiful things come to view.” (7:50-8:00 | Lauren)
• “There's enough room at the table for everybody to succeed.” (13:49-13:53 | Priscilla) 
• “The mission has always been to empower, inspire, and to help women start and grow businesses.” (14:54-14:59 | Lauren)
• “The beautiful part of what we've been able to do thus far is meet so many incredible women that believe in the same thing that we do…And we know that if you're listening to this podcast, that you're on this journey with us, too.” (20:05-20:33 | Priscilla)

In the wise words of Demi Lovato, ‘What’s Wrong With Being Confident?’ Our answer? NOTHING. In fact, in today’s episode, Priscilla and Lauren are telling us all the reasons why confidence can not only help you reach your personal goals but help you in every aspect of business too. 

Whether your business hasn’t been able to generate sales over the last year, or you’ve been sitting on an idea too scared to take that next step - just remember that your past doesn't determine your future and at any moment YOU have the power to confidently create the life you deserve. Once you adopt the mentality you are already on the way to your next big move.

If you could pinpoint the one thing that’s holding your business back what do you think it would be? Maybe it’s generating sales, it could even be marketing, but have you ever thought that it may be delegation? You might find yourself holding onto every task and responsibility, fearful that your business will fall apart without your constant involvement. If that’s the case, you’ll want to stay tuned because, in today’s episode, Priscilla and Lauren share just how powerful the art of delegation can be in taking your business to the next level. 

Delegation can be very tricky, and often our fears of delegation come from our unpacked baggage from childhood, which is holding us back from releasing control. 

Having been there themselves, Priscilla and Lauren share strategies to truly examine these subconscious blocks, and after listening you’ll realize that delegating isn't a weakness, but a strength that is the catalyst that fuels faster growth for everything you're wanting and more.

As Lauren said, everything is the meaning we give to it. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ decision. Just a decision we make that will either allow you to progress, and as soon as this belief is a constant in your business you will be on the way to your next big move.

Hi Barbie! Hi Barbie!

Today, we’re diving into a conversation all about partnerships, the good, the bad, the amazing. We’re going to get really clear on how to enter into partnerships, what good partnerships are, navigating relationships, and breaking down the limitations holding you back. Whenever we were first building Forward Female, a big conversation of how we were going to launch it and grow it was through a lot of partnerships and collaborations. Now we have been able to become this beautiful hybrid of having all of our digital services and community, but also are able to cultivate in-person events again, we're able to kind of tap back into that magic. If you’re at the stage in your business where you want to enter into partnerships, grab some headphones, grab your coffee and listen to this episode all on the power of partnerships.

.

We're rooting for you every step of the way!

“As we've matured, as our business has matured, so has our mission,” Priscilla notes, one of the many takeaways gleaned from a recent deep-think strategy session at Forward Female. Using the power of the pause, she and Lauren took time out to realign themselves with the business’s vision–which is distinct from its mission as they explain on today’s episode—remembering the why, as well as establishing new goals and targets. At Forward Female the mission has evolved from wanting to help more women start and grow successful businesses to helping to create more equity for women so that there can be equality for them in business.

Here they share prompts, questions, and advice you can use to refine your own business strategy. It’s an ongoing process and requires constant checking in–zooming in on the day-to-day aspects and panning out to see the bigger picture. You must be radically honest about what works and what doesn’t work. Get ready to leave your ego at the door. 

Entrepreneurship is a journey, not a destination. Grab your pen and paper as they share prompts, questions and advice for refining your own business strategy and plan your next big move! 

Quotes

• “The ‘how’ is saying, ‘Okay, what am I providing now? Is that going to be the best solution to help me achieve that?...this is what doesn't work and I know maybe this one thing that I've been doing does really work. And I optimize that and what could be some things that I could add into my ‘how,’ to my action in order to achieve that?” (8:59 | Priscilla)
• “You have to be realistic with yourself…It's being really real with yourself through these strategy sessions, and leaving your ego at the door.” (13:32 | Lauren) 
• “You can't keep setting these new big goals without sitting down and really thinking through it.” (15:45 | Priscilla)
• “Understanding that your vision, your mission, the actions and all of that, the reason why it's broken down so much is because it is a journey…It's not this big, ‘aha’ moment, ‘I made it!’ and it's over. There are all of these moments. And guess what? You can start to have that moment today.” (17:32 | Priscilla)

“One of my big things now is being a connector,” says NJ Falk, who, as co-founder and “mentor-preneur” of Forward Female, is the perfect person to kick off Her Next Big Move. She joins Priscilla and Lauren to discuss the power of mentorship, which is a two-way relationship and one that should be maintained throughout a lifetime. She describes the proper etiquette for mentor and mentee as well as steps both can take to maximize the relationship. She also explains the best way to start and build a network for those who don’t know where to begin. 

In business, she explains, it’s a marathon not a sprint. The workplace is constantly changing-every 5-7 years–and it’s important to change with it by keeping your skills sharp and your education current. She shares the common mistake to avoid when scaling your business, including the crucial difference between massive growth and profitability. She talks about the importance of finding your niche, of both cash and collaboration, and offers her perhaps surprising take on following your passions.

The business advice doesn’t stop there. NJ shares tips and tricks to a successful presentation and the importance of storytelling and empathy in sales. She explains how to gauge whether your work culture is going well, and reveals her own next big move. 

Quotes

• “Embracing change is critical in your career in the workplace, and whatever business you're in…how you respond to change is sort of a testament to what kind of person you are in the workforce.” (11:58-12:16 | NJ) 
• “Does your business attract top talent? Do people want to join your brand, and is it exciting? Is it something where they want to join the culture, and they're excited about the brand? That's a great litmus test for what you're doing and your team and growing your business, and just a general enthusiasm, and a sense that everyone is a cheerleader.” (18:30-18:58 | NJ)
• “You sort of get to a certain stage. And then if you want to keep being part of the conversation, you have to keep teaching yourself new things and adding new dialogue. So I never feel like it's status quo.” (24:46-25:02 | NJ)
• “Again, it goes back to the network. I tap into my network in a very thoughtful way when I don't, when I feel I need advice. And certainly I need advice just like everyone else. I look at my network and I say who is the person that might have the best skill set within my network that I can reach out to? I call that person up.” (26:56-27:21 | NJ)
• “It's really important in business to be a great storyteller.” (42:52-42:56 | NJ)

Perfect is out, and real is in when it comes to building your brand. Coachella is one of the biggest events where brands get to truly pull in consumers, and in this episode, our Agency Director, Gabbie, is giving us all the details that she gathered from her weekend attending the festival. 

What’s the biggest thing she noticed? The importance of authenticity and community when it comes to not only building a brand but also maintaining it. With the digital marketing landscape evolving exponentially over the past few years, and seeing how Gen-Z responds to marketing efforts, brands now more than ever need to be innovative, authentic, and people-centric. Shifting your business from product-centric to people-centric may sound like a difficult switch, but during Priscilla and Lauren’s conversation with Gabbie, we learn why this is a lot more achievable than you may think. 

No matter where you’re at in your business journey, how many followers you have, or if you’re not sure where to start - you have to be your biggest cheerleader when it comes to achieving your wildest dreams. As Gabbie reminded us, The World is Your Oyster, and with just one step toward your goals, you’re that much closer to your next big move.

Natalie Franke, a dynamic entrepreneur, community builder, and the brilliant author behind the highly acclaimed book "Built to Belong," joins us today for an insightful conversation. Natalie's remarkable career has been a rollercoaster ride, featuring both incredible highs and profound challenges. As a teenager grappling with mental health issues, she discovered a transformative outlet through photography, which eventually paved the way for her remarkable journey to entrepreneurship and building a six-figure business. However, Natalie quickly recognized the isolating nature of running a business and set out on a mission to create a thriving community for fellow entrepreneurs. This audacious endeavor materialized into the awe-inspiring Rising Tide, a non-profit networking business that garnered an astonishing following around the nation. 

In this discussion, Natalie fearlessly challenges the prevailing myths that hold countless people back from reaching their full potential in life, community, and business. With remarkable insights, she dares to rewrite the narrative, reminding us that it's never too late to embark on a new venture, asking for help is an act of strength rather than weakness, and ego has no place in the art of community building. Natalie's unwavering emphasis on shared values and the paramount importance of making a meaningful impact sets the stage for a paradigm shift in how we approach success.

Prepare to be enthralled as Natalie delves into the significance of play and offers an exciting glimpse into her forthcoming book, "Gutsy." Described as "a kick in the pants," this compelling work promises to ignite the spark of courage and resilience within its readers. This episode is an exceptional opportunity to gain priceless insights, challenge the status quo, and embrace the transformative power of community.

Quotes

• “Play has a profound impact on the brain…when's the last time you played? With no one watching?” (9:16-9:49 | Lauren)
• “People always worry, ‘Can I start something new? Is it too late...You are never too old… You can go after it and reinvent yourself as many times as you want.” (14:08-14:41 | Natalie)
• “It's up to you and all of us are one decision away from an entirely different life, one choice away from a reality that doesn't exist for us today. We just have to take that step.” (14:42-14:53 | Natalie)
• “Even though my business was thriving…I felt deeply isolated.” (17:48-17:55 | Natalie)
• “Your community is only as good as its leaders, and its leaders are built by its members.” (23:02-23:09 | Natalie)  
• “You’ve got to rewrite so much of what you've been taught…the faster you fail, the quicker you succeed.” (35:03-35:18 | Natalie)
• “No company I've ever worked for talks about their community the way that HoneyBook employees do…as though they are the heroes the world needs.” (45:53-46:07 | Natalie)

You know that saying ‘When you look good, you feel good’? Well, that same saying applies to your brand! As our Head of Marketing Madi said, ‘Your brand is your business’s personality’, and when you have good branding - it makes all the difference when wanting to take your business to that next level. 

In today’s episode Priscilla, Lauren, and Madi are breaking down the branding of companies like Abercrombie and Skims to show us how strategically creating your brand is the key to success. Whether that be through influencer marketing, like Skims, or inclusivity initiatives, like Abercrombie, there are so many ways to elevate your branding and build a community of people who want to be a part of what you created. We’ve come a long way with our branding from our days of pink and diamonds, but it was all part of the journey of how we got here today.

Biggest takeaway: You can’t skip over the branding of your business - even if you’re a solo entrepreneur or if you have the best idea in the world and are so eager to get it out. Trust us when we say - once you get your branding right, your next big move is right around the corner.

Are you tired of the pressure to be perfect? Well welcome to the party because in today’s episode, Priscilla and Lauren are discussing why striving for perfection is the exact thing holding you back, and how you can escape that debilitating mentality to achieve everything you’ve always wanted and more. 

The truth is, as business owners, very rarely do things work out exactly how we envision. But, rather than chasing an impossible plan that you want to be executed 'perfectly' and getting frustrated when it doesn't,  rewiring your perfectionist tendencies for when things do go south, will not only allow you to get your subconscious on board with your goals but will also give you the freedom to grow and evolve in all areas of their lives. Once you embrace this mindset, even when things don't go perfectly to plan, your next big move is closer than you think.

Get ready to turn your passion project into a career! This episode is going to motivate you to take action and make your next big move.

After she was told to try business out “just for fun,” Alicia Zeng found herself helping big companies, like Mckinsey,  with their strategy right out of college. To some, this may sound like the dream and, for a little while, it was for Alicia. But after being fed up with only seeing men in positions of power, making decisions on products catered to women, and all the emotional burnout that came with it, Alicia decided she wanted to be part of the companies that were doing things differently. What was the answer to making that happen?  Lashes!  

Throughout her incredible career trajectory and story, we are reminded that sometimes things aren’t what we envision and no matter what it is - you can always figure it out. Trust us when we say that after learning more about how Alicia turned something that truly was a side project, into a company  that now has 13 team members, you will be more than motivated to take the next steps toward your next big move.

On today's episode, Priscilla and Lauren dive into the comparison monster. It can be so easy to get caught up in the comparison game whether it be through social media, business, or just your own personal life, but what’s important is being about to build your mental toolkit so that you can  take your personal power back,looking inward instead of outward as you grow.  When you realize you have the ability to control your thoughts, emotions, and actions, you are able to take back your power and stop feeding the comparison monster.

Energy drinks often get a bad rap, but Benny co-founders Paige and Julie are flipping the script when it comes to how we view energy drinks. In today’s episode, Priscilla and Lauren sit down with the Benny co-founders and they share the story behind creating an energy drink that's actually good for you - Yes you read that right.

What set them apart? Identifying their “why” in order to ​​carve out a new space in the saturated beverage market. With that ambition and self-belief, Paige and Julie dove headfirst into building Benny, even when those around them didn't quite understand what they were doing. Although they were initially hesitant to call Benny an "energy drink," worried about the negative connotations, they soon realized leaning into that category was key to standing out. 

As Paige so wisely reminded us “The Way you spend your days is the way you spend your life” So keep that in mind and go do that thing you’ve been thinking of because it might just be your next big move.

Do you ever feel like you're just pretending, that you don't actually have what it takes to be that successful person you’ve always envisioned yourself to be? If so, you're definitely not alone. Imposter syndrome is something we ALL struggle with. Yes, even that celebrity that you think is the most confident person in the world, or the person at your company who has been in the supervising role for several years - trust us when we say, we’ve all been there. 

In today’s episode, Priscilla and Lauren open up about how imposter syndrome has crept into the mindsets of not only them but successful people worldwide, and share their strategies on how to push past that nagging voice of self-doubt that makes you question whether you really have what it takes. 

The truth is, that even the most successful people struggle to believe they deserve success. So, what's keeping you from taking that next step? As Lauren said, you wouldn’t get the opportunity if you weren't ready for it, and the moment you are able to change your mentality from being your own worst critic to being your own best coach, your next big move is right around the corner.

Kristine Locker is the Founder and CEO of Locker, the social commerce platform supporting shoppers at every step of their consumer journey, from initial discovery until purchase. Locker's mobile app and Chrome extension enable users to save any product they want while browsing online into one, organized place. As an avid online shopper, Kristine found herself constantly taking screenshots of products or keeping dozens of tabs open, but there wasn't a platform that provided the utility or social aspect she craved as an "everyday" person and non-influencer.

Kristine's story of becoming a founder is unconventional. She spent her first two years out of school as a real estate analyst at Goldman Sachs, then worked alongside her dad as a commercial real estate broker. But, something in her gut told her that Locker was worth risking it all. She stepped away from a lucrative and stable career in 2020 and invested every penny she had into building Locker - so she could provide the solution that she and millions of other shoppers face.

In this discussion, Kristine talks all about leaving a corporate career to build your dream life from scratch, fundraising from angels and VCs and how listening to your audience is key to growing your business. With so many insights on her personal journey of starting a business and building her dream life, Kristine reminds us that following your passions and dreams will lead you to where you need to be. Taking the dive and pursuing a path where your passions lie is where you’ll ultimately find happiness.  

Get ready for this exciting conversation that dives into how Kristine Locker went from working in real estate to building every shopping lover’s dream platform. This episode is an opportunity to gain insights, fuel your dreams, and embrace the power of community.

Remember when you were a kid and you baked a cake for the first time or built your first paper airplane, or maybe even drew the most amazing chalk portrait on the sidewalk and you thought to yourself - ‘I could do this forever’? Well, that’s exactly what our guest today, Sacha Jarmon, did when it came to creating jewelry. In today’s episode, Priscilla and Lauren sit down with the co-founder of Love Saro and learn about the incredible journey of how Sacha’s love for designing jewelry as a child led her to create the custom permanent jewelry business, that is changing the game in the industry. 

When starting your own company you may feel like you have to have the perfect plan or like you are building the airplane while it’s flying, but after listening to Sacha’s story of how she continued to move through all the hurdles of not paying herself for two years, and launching right at the start of COVID, you will realize how constantly reevaluating can make all your dreams a reality. 

By focusing on guest experience and intentionality with every single one of her clients, her story also demonstrates the power of relationships, and how living authentically in all you do will be the catalyst for your next big move.

Yeah, you read that right. Business CAN and SHOULD be fun, and in today’s episode, Priscilla and Lauren are teaching you how exactly to do that. Gone are the days of showing up in a button-down shirt with a blazer, which don’t get us wrong we love a good blazer moment, and it’s all about showing up in whatever is going to allow you to feel like the most authentic version of yourself. 

It’s all about balance. If you get to show up every day doing something you love AND make money on top of it - that’s a win in our book. The beauty of today is you can create a business out of just about anything. Maybe it’s being an Elvis Impersonator like Priscilla’s dad did, or contrary to Lauren you may love kids retail and want to make a career out of it. Whatever it is - it is beyond possible to turn that passion into a business. When you love what you do, and the people around you love what they do too, you are already on the path towards your next big move.

“Branding and business are really a two-pronged approach,” says Lauren about these two aspects of entrepreneurship that many people mistakenly believe are one in the same. Together with Priscilla, she explains how the two aspects are different, yet equally important. They work in tandem and one means nothing without the other. An entrepreneur must build a solid brand foundation which includes identifying your target audience, getting inside your customers’ head, learning their pain points and figuring out how to provide solutions, and being clear about what your business has to offer. 

They refer to Starbucks as an example of brand ethos, brand association and customer engagement. They explain how every single detail of the Starbucks experience is branded and how it differentiates from those of McDonald’s or Target. Speaking from her role as Forward Female’s creative director, Lauren gives her best advice on building a brand ethos and suggests questions that entrepreneurs should be asking themselves as they figure out the fundamentals of their business. 

Ultimately, infusing your personality into your brand will help differentiate you from others. Join today’s conversation and find out Lauren and Priscilla’s go-to summer Starbucks orders and why they actually look forward to Mondays. 

Quotes

• “What is building a brand? What is building a business? I think there are a lot of misconceptions of what those two things actually mean. I think that a lot of the time people think they are the exact same thing and don't really take the time to separate them and identify what goes into each one.” (3:07 | Priscilla and Lauren)
• “It's a vibe. A brand is a vibe.” (7:13 | Priscilla) 
• “The key to successful branding is getting so clear and specific on it from the get go that you feel solid with it that even if you do evolve and grow and it shifts that it's still consistent throughout every touchpoint of your business. From a business card that you hand out to your Instagram to your website, from fonts, colors, just overall aesthetic, people should be getting that same vibe, same imagery. Content is huge. (20:18 |  Lauren)
• “It goes back to the idea of showing up as the person that you want to be. If you want to be really healthy, then every day make decisions as a healthy person. ‘Today, I choose to be a healthy person, so I'm going to eat the salad instead of the burger. And day by day, that's going help you really become a healthy person. So within your brand, you want to show up as the brands that are really successful.” (21:27 | Priscilla)

“Our relationship has to be strong in order for the company to be strong, because we are part of that foundation,” Priscilla explains on this latest episode of Her Next Big Move. In fact, many of the same building blocks that form a strong friendship or romantic relationship–appreciation, making the other person feel seen and heard, and authenticity–build a strong work team and ultimately a strong and positive company culture. Like friends, team members should be encouraging open, two-way communication, encouraging each other’s wins and offering help when someone is struggling.

This starts from the top down, by showing people kindness and respect–including for their non-work personal lives– you make your business a place where people want to work. Priscilla and Lauren discuss what it was like building Forward Female from the ground up, starting as strangers and forming a relationship that is not unlike a marriage. In any relationship, no one person should be expected to fulfill every need and they give advice on the best way to delegate so that everyone wins. 

In the same way you wouldn’t let just anyone into your life, when building a team, you have to be mindful of whom you let into your business from the very first interview question. Lauren and Priscilla discuss their ultimate red and green flags to look out for when hiring someone, as well as the questions you can ask yourself to effectively take stock of your personal and professional progress. 

Quotes

• “Nowadays everyone wants to be seen and heard and get their point across but if you can really hold space and listen, that is such a powerful tool. And that's how you build really solid friendships, because that's what builds up the trust.” (4:45 | Lauren)
• “There are a lot of similarities between friendships, relationships, and even growing a team and who you bring on to your company. And as you grow, whether that's an initial business partner, or just growing your team in general, there are a lot of those same attributes that carry through.” (6:27 | Lauren) 
• “You and I have both been really thoughtful and intentional about this, as we've grown our company. We've seen the other side, we've been on the other side of knowing what it's like…So, it's setting those boundaries on both sides and being really clear with expectations and with your communication within the team, too. That's a big one.” (18:53 | Lauren)
• “Really trust that the team is doing their jobs…and support them every step of the way to where you can say, ‘How can I support you?...That is your job as a business owner, especially as you're growing a team, and should be your number one priority.” (21:10 | Priscilla) 
• “A great piece of advice: Do the follow up email. The people that follow up are typically the only people I look at…If you do that, I promise, you are 20 steps ahead of most people in life.” (32:01 | Priscilla)

We all have those days where we feel like we’re in a funk, it can manifest in many different forms, like imposter syndrome. Life has its inevitable ebbs and flows, and there are moments when we find ourselves stuck in a rut, seemingly disconnected from our passions and purpose. Join us for today’s episode as we dive into how to power through and channel yourself back into the positive!

Using little moments of joy, we discuss how small deposits can help get you out of a funk and keep moving forward. By continually putting deposits into your happiness bucket, you’ll get to the half full point of view versus half empty. In today’s episode we’ll explain how to get yourself out of a funk, even if you don’t feel like it and power through to move forward. Life can get so busy, whether it be work, life or just stress; by taking a step back and reflecting on the moments of a funk you can re-evaluate how to move forward. 

Get ready to level up as we uncover the power of reframing negative thought patterns, cultivating self-compassion, and embracing techniques to shift our mindset and lead a more fulfilling life!

Quotes

• “Surrounding myself with the people that I knew were the right people to, like, Get Me Out of it, leaning, leaning on those people and also being by myself whenever like I truly like needed it in order to do self reflection or just whatever.” (3:15 | Priscilla)
• “Being able to understand that everybody goes through that in different levels, different ways at different periods, but everyone feels that way and that not everybody is always going to be happy all the time. It's just impossible, and so I think really knowing your tools and your little mental toolkit of what you can pull out when you're having those days” (08:16 | Lauren)
• “Sometimes you have to have a breakdown to get through a breakthrough.” (10:05 | Lauren)
• And so it's like there's a good line between like, you know, self-discipline and you know, having boundaries and all of those things. But also just like don't be mean to yourself like, be kind to yourself first and then that will just like, exude out of you and be able to give yourself what you need.” (18:47 | Lauren)

“I feel like a proud mom, I love the evolution and growth journey we’ve been on together.” The ‘we’ Lauren is referring to is her team at Forward Female which includes today’s guests, Madison and Gabriella, and of course, Priscilla. Madison, who is in charge of web design, branding and infusing clients’ brands personality, and Gabriella, who helms the social media and market branding, talk about what it’s like to work as part of Forward Female’s “waterfall”-style bundle service. The team sets themselves apart from others by putting themselves in the client’s shoes to find out their true needs, and provide them with solutions so that they feel they are not trying to figure it all out for themselves. 

When it comes to entrepreneurship, it’s important to step out of your comfort zone. Even if you don’t know something, don’t be afraid to take initiative, figure it out and become a problem solver. Take advantage of all of your resources (Gabriella shares her Big Three go-tos), and if you still don’t know, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Both Gabriella and Madison share their experiences with overwhelm and how they worked to overcome it. They explain what it means to “fail fast,” how to do it and why it’s so important. 

By growing professionally, they’ve also grown personally and become stronger members of their team, in part by leaning into change and embracing the pivot. All business owners will attest, there is no greater failure than not trying at all. 

Quotes

• “You're not going to know how to do everything. But there are a lot of learning opportunities within every role…being aware of that and also being resourceful is going to be really important. That would be the advice that I would give.” (8:20 | Gabriella)
• “When I'm approaching a new project, I look at it as an opportunity rather than something that should be nerve wracking or holding me back.” (12:44 | Madison) 
• “Leaning on each other really has been a huge factor for me, personally, because there are a lot of things that are outside of my typical comfort zone. And as we say, comfortable is not where we want to be, we want to be uncomfortable, because then we grow.” (29:09 | Madison)
• “Know that you aren't alone. There are so many other people who have been in your shoes and who did it. And some of them were successful, some of them weren't successful the first time or the first seven times. But then they were.” (37:48 | Gabriella )
• “If you don't try, you'll never know, and the never knowing is going to be a lot more painful than maybe something not working out and you having to change it up.” (38:40 | Madison)

“That’s such a number that’s out there in the world right now,” says Priscilla about the six-figure mark that so many new entrepreneurs shoot for while growing their businesses. It’s important for founders to get specific about what they want–including about which actual six-figure number you want to reach. Taking the time to figure out what success really looks like to you–your ‘why’--is crucial to success, she and Lauren explain. They also discuss the importance of maintaining authenticity, staying on top of operating costs and other finances, and of continuing through difficult times and dealing with self-doubt. 

They discuss what it was like to hit the six-figure mark with their own business Forward Female–for which they opened a physical space just before the pandemic—and what they learned along the way. That period prompted a move into the digital space and provided some surprising benefits. As they continued to hone their business model they had to decide how much time and effort to give to their members while they were still wearing all the hats. They learned to lean into the community they’d built and to gather crucial feedback from them. 

Ultimately, they had to make a difficult but necessary decision in order to move forward. Tune in to learn what this decision was as well as their thoughts on the best way to manifest money and other abundance as well as what they call their Fiji analogy. 

Quotes

• “Money and management, overall of your business, is a huge thing that you have to be aware of, you have to be conscious of the whole time, from the very beginning, when it's just an idea before it's even an LLC or an actual business, all the way to growing into six figures and above.” (12:10-12:25 | Lauren)
• “Every entrepreneur will go through that growing pains stage where you do have to do some trial and error and see what's going to work and what's going to actually bring you money. A lot of the time-–and we see this a lot with like the very beginning entrepreneurs—they have all these ideas, and sometimes you think an idea is going to be great and it totally flops.” (14:52-15:16 | Lauren ) 
• “It's really powerful to be able to unpack your ‘why.’  Ask your why ‘why?’ If you're doing something because you want to make a lot of money, okay. Why, though? Really? What is underneath that? What is the root of that?” (26:04-26:20 | Lauren )

On today’s episode, Priscilla and Lauren dive into a new perspective on failure. We often fear failure and only strive for success, but what if the key to success was failure? We have to get uncomfortable to reach new heights and success. 

We’re breaking down our failures, our successes and how to unlock new levels of success by actually running into failure versus running away from it. We touch on how to actually lean into failure and turn those failures into successes. By looking at failure a different way, we are able to identify the roadblocks holding us back. Sometimes you just need an extra push to step into the uncomfortable to grow..

“I dove in head first and it was a sink or swim situation,” says Emilie Hoyt, founder of Lather, a true pioneer in the clean beauty space now in its 23rd year. From a young age, Emilie dealt with migraines brought on by synthetic scents in soaps and cosmetics. So she set about creating her own alternatives. Here she speaks to other women in business about what it was like to create an independent venture when heavy hitters like L’oreal were dominating the beauty business. She talks about running things by herself before she had her team, discovering her strengths and weaknesses, her greatest regret and her biggest mistake that took her far too long to correct.

Like so many who start a business, there was a lot that Emilie didn’t know but she was afraid to speak up. As Lauren and Priscilla always say, asking for help is a superpower, and Emilie concurs with examples. She also explains how much of success is saying yes, while also knowing when to quit and move on. She shares stories of the brand’s early and unexpected champions, and some of the complications with creating different bestselling products.

The same synthetic fragrances which caused Emilie to seek alternative products remain in any number of everyday products. The fragrance industry is massively deregulated and protected and she warns about the dangers of fragrance, the effects of it on the body and what consumers can do to protect themselves. She also gives insight into Lather’s next moves, including efforts toward sustainability. 

Quotes

• “At that time in the late 90s, when I was starting Lather, independently owned-beauty was pretty much non-existent and the barrier to entry was enormous. Everything was really owned and controlled by Estee Lauder, L'Oreal, all of the bigger players. There wasn't an entry point…which has also dramatically changed for the better. (11:15-11:54 | Emilie)
• “Keep yourself open–there are a lot of paths to get to where you're going, to get to a point, and just never, ever give up.” (13:15-13:26 | Emilie) 
• “It has been 23 years and I'm still a small independently-owned company, so it's not overnight. It's…just realizing it's going to be a lot of very small steps.” (13:54-14:31 | Emilie)
• “Had I said, ‘No, we don't really do that,’ or ‘We don't do that business or ‘No we just do consumer or whatever,’ I don't think we would be around…if there's a way to still accomplish your goals and have a product of the quality that you're proud of and be able to serve a need, it can just lead to so many more things.” (18:39-19:15 | Emilie) 
• “The number one thing, if you do nothing else, do not put anything with the word fragrance on your body. Ever. I mean ever.” (39:44-40:00 | Emilie)
