18. Consistency in Small Business equals Sales Success

Happy New Year!!! I hope 2024 is off to a great start for you and your business!   I have lots of fun and amazing things planned for 2024 and you do NOT want to miss it!  So, join my *FREE* Facebook Community HERE!
In today's episode, I share the ONE thing that I believe makes or breaks small businesses...and it's probably not what you think!  As the years end and new ones begin, many of us look at our accomplishments and start dreaming, vision casting, and goal setting.  There is no one who loves this more than me!  I make BIG plans every year. The reality is that I want to make those dreams come true, and I also get overwhelmed by the huge mountain (that I've created in this process) to climb.  So today, we are talking about consistency. I believe it's what makes small business owners successful...or not.  So, as we dive into 2024, I want you to review your plans, dreams, and visions for your business and your life, and I want you to look at what is going to be sustainable so that you can show up consistently in the areas that move the needle for your business!

15. Organizing Your Calendar to Generate More Sales in Small Business

Welcome back, friend!  Today's episode is a quick one but a very important topic as we close out 2023.  How did you spend your precious time over the past year?  In today's episode I use an analogy of a jar that holds rocks and sand, but it is important what order you put the rocks, pebbles and sand into the jar so they all fit.  The same goes for you calendar.  Reviewing your calendar is imperative to evaluating your time and your business and I want you to start 2024 off on the right foot!  Categorizing your task into "revenue generating tasks (must do's to create income)", "essential tasks" (have to do's), and "non-essential tasks" (those that don't absolutely have to get done) will help you evaluate where to spend more of your time based on your goals for 2024.  Want to grow? Spend more time on revenue generating activities.  Want to say the same? Spend your time in similar ways.  So get to it ladies!  Review those calendars!

14. Stress Management Strategies for Small Business Owners with Rachael Reed

Hey hey!  Last week I shared about my mental health journey and ways that I have found to manage stress, check in with myself, and triggers that can lead to a downward trajectory.  In today's episode, I talk with Rachael Reed, LMFT and LPC, a licensed counselor in the state of Texas, about small business ownership and stress management.  She walks us through some tactical ways to self-evaluate, take back control of our days, and offer ourselves a dose of self compassion. 
Rachael is the owner of Empower and Elevate here in the North Houston area and offers counseling for those living in the state of Texas as well as coaching services outside of Texas.  She has grown her practice and expanded at lightning speed, so she is fully aware of the struggles of a small business owner from a personal perspective as well.

13. Strategy - How to Manage Mental Health as a Small Business Owner - PART 1

Today's topic is near and dear to my heart.  As a mental health advocate and someone who has struggle with post partum depression and anxiety, this is something that I believe needs to be discussed in the Small Business world.  Small business ownership is hard and stressful at times, so we need ways to manage. 
In this Part 1 (of 2) episode, I share what has helped me take control over my mental health and how I continue to manage it so that I don't fall into a depressive or anxious state. 
Next week's episode (Part 2) will also launch on Wednesday where I will have a clinically trained, certified therapist to walk us through managing stress and as small business owners.

11. Social Media Content Pillars for Social Media Content Planning in Small Business

Hello friends!  Last week we talked about social media in terms of how often your content is shows to your audience, how short attention spans can be, and how to effectively catch the attention of your target market.  In today's episode, I share how often a buyer needs to see your content before they know your business or service or product exists before they know they can buy from you.  Match that information with short attention spans and algorithms and we know we have to be clear and concise with our messaging.  We do that by creating social media content pillars that we will use to decide our content.  I discuss what they are and give examples of content pillars that you can use.  Once you have your content pillars, you can map out your social media marketing plan for the week, month, quarter, or even year!
