She cuts through the noise and gives you guidance on how to view the status quo with a more discerning eye. If you're ready for success without the B.S., buckle up for hard truths, fun rants, terrible puns and (more than) the occasional curse word.

    EP64: Web Wisdom: Building a Business Website That Converts with Kelsey Romine

    Your website into a powerful piece of your business puzzle. Join me and Kelsey Romine as we dive into why your site should do more than just exist—it should tell your story and entice your visitors to act.

    We’ll explore how the right images, fonts, and colors can make your website a magnet for your ideal audience, and we’ll tackle the typical traps that many fall into when designing their online store front.

    In a more personal segment, I open up about my own shift from being a teacher to becoming a business owner. We’ll walk through my journey, discussing the challenges and victories I encountered along the way, especially how becoming a mother influenced my career path and pushed me towards seeking that ever-elusive harmony between work and life. This is for all you fellow women entrepreneurs out there: remember, don’t let where you are today limit where you can go tomorrow.

    To cap off our conversation, Kelsey and I pay homage to the unsung heroes—teachers. We share our own experiences and the profound impact educators have on shaping futures. It's all about being true to yourself and using that authenticity to thrive both in the classroom and in business.

    So, whether you’re here to gather some pro tips for your next website or to find inspiration in our personal tales of growth and resilience, this episode is for you.

    EP63: Stories that Sell: Entrepreneurial Storytelling with Jennifer DeWitt

    EP63: Stories that Sell: Entrepreneurial Storytelling with Jennifer DeWitt

    Stories sell. Period.

    Case in point: have you ever closed a good book with a sense of connection and satisfaction at the journey you've just been through? That's the power of storytelling, and it's not just for books!

    This week I'm joined by copywriting whiz Jennifer DeWitt to unravel the art of spinning tales that captivate clients without the hard sell.

    Jennifer helps entrepreneurs weave their narratives into marketing gold, proving that even the most everyday experiences can capture your audience's heart and shares how these stories can enrich our lives and businesses.

    We talk about how to balance content that serves with stories that sell, and dissect how to turn client transformations into testimonials that don't just sing your praises but tell a tale of real-life magic.

    We wrap with a heart-to-heart on navigating the entrepreneurial waters while keeping our personal life afloat. Touching on my shift from education to entrepreneurship to Jennifer's own journey, we explore the importance of authenticity and empathy, both in client relations and personal endeavours. It's about finding your circle, setting boundaries, and valiantly wearing the many hats life throws our way – all while crafting a narrative that rings true to who we are, in and out of the boardroom.

    Guest Bio:

    Jennifer DeWitt is a website copywriter and storytelling expert. She supports female founders around the globe to craft value-centric, story-driven content that leaves people going, “Hell yes, I want to work with her!”

    As a former librarian, Jennifer believes in the power of words, research, and storytelling. Now, she's on a mission to help more business owners expand their impact by harnessing these tools. She’s here to help you sell without ever sounding sales-y.

    When Jennifer isn't working, you’ll find her hanging out with family, sipping coffee, or with her nose buried in a book.

    EP62: Promise: Cultivating Unshakeable Commitment in Entrepreneurship

    EP62: Promise: Cultivating Unshakeable Commitment in Entrepreneurship

    Commitment is nothing more than a promise you make... in this case, to yourself.

    This episode is all about the transformative power of self-promise—it's the self-made commitment that keeps your business vision alive and thriving.

    Over the last 3 episodes, we talked about the combined strength of purpose, priorities and your 5 capacities (aka power) in relation to consistent success.

    But none of them work if you don't commit. 

    For an entrepreneur, promises are more than just words; they're the lifeblood of our commitment to success. It's the promise to stick with it, to follow through, and to get support when you need it. To promise yourself you don't HAVE to go it alone.

    It's a short and sweet one this week, but it's the one that makes it all mean something.

    If a transition from non-stop hustle to a life-serving business is what you're after, remember, my door is always open for those who want to weave these 4 Ps into the tapestry of their own business ethos.

    EP61: Power Up: Strategizing Your Powerful Internal Resources for Success

    Ever feel like the mantra "we all have the same 24 hours" doesn't quite fit your life?

    This episode tears down that myth and reconstructs a more personal blueprint for success. As we continue dissecting the four Ps of consistent success, we zero in on the third P: power.

    I'm here to unfold the layers of your potential, showing you how to prioritize tasks that genuinely push your business forward, and reveal the truth about personal capacity. From the energy you expend to the resources you wield, I'll steer you through making every business move count.

    Harnessing power isn't just about sheer effort; it's about the finesse of managing your team, tapping into expert insights, and mastering the art of delegation. This episode isn't just talk—I'm bringing practical tools and personal anecdotes to the table, illustrating how a robust support system is as valuable as your professional network.

    We'll also discuss the importance of financial wisdom and investing within your means, preparing you for next week's deep dive into the emotional aspect of promise in business. If you're an entrepreneur at any level, ready to sync your ambitions with your true capacity, this is your sign to listen up.

    EP60: Priorities: Tackling the Right Tasks for Focused Business Growth

    Ever feel like your business checklist is leading you everywhere except to success?

    Last week, we anchored ourselves in purpose. This week, we focus on priorities as the compass to navigate the daily grind of what to do.

    This episode is all about ditching the typical to-do list and embracing strategic priorities that align with your business's current stage of growth. We're not just chasing tasks – we're chasing milestones. Join me as I break down the five distinct stages every business experiences and guide you on what to focus on to accelerate your growth -- without bogging you down in burnout.

    And it's not about the length of time you've been in business that matters; it's way more nuanced. I share insights on identifying and tackling priorities that matter, ensuring you're not just busy, but productive.

    Has self-doubt impacted your business journey?

    I'm going to take a wild guess and say yes.

    So how did you overcome it?

    This week on the podcast, I share the first of my 4 Principles of Consistent Success -- a list distilled from over 20 years in the business and entrepreneurship spaces, watching incredibly successful humans navigate the landscape of achievement.

    I touch on the critical importance of having clarity on your purpose -- and how it prevents falling prey to things like self-doubt, shiny object syndrome, peer pressure and so much more.

    Tune in and let's strip away the BS around what it takes to actually get what you want.
