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!  
 
Need help with your sales and marketing strategy for 2024?  Grab a Sales & Marketing Strategy Session with me in December for a steal of a deal - schedule a Connection Call here!

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.

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.

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!

Hello!  Welcome back to Small Business Sales & Strategy!  In today's episode, we are talking about sales and marketing strategy and I'm on a little bit of a soap box.  There is this misconception in business that we can slap up a website and/or open the doors to a business and the right people will just find you and show up to buy. Well, that is absolutely false.  If you aren't talking about your business, you can't expect anyone to know about it.  You certainly can't expect them to talk about it.  So in this episode, I share 3 ways to get your business out there and noticed: 1. How to use Social Media to build trust, 2. How getting involved in your community can lead to business growth, and 3. How networking and relationship building can lead to personal and business growth.  These 3 things have helped us grow month over month for over a year, and they will help you too. I'll say it again - if you aren't talking about your business, no one is talking about your business.  So get out there and start the conversation!
 
I'm praying for your business!
My best,
Lindsay
