    Why They’re Not Taking You Seriously – And 4 Ways to Change That Fast! Hey, it’s your friend Jen! Welcome back to the MindBean Podcast. Today, we're tackling a topic that every entrepreneur has struggled with: how to be taken seriously in your business. If you’ve ever felt that tight knot in your stomach when quoting a price, pitched to a client only to be met with silence, or caught yourself over-explaining just to sound more credible—you’re not alone. I’ve been there, and I know how exhausting it can be to feel like you’re constantly trying to prove your worth. In this episode, I’m getting real and sharing one of the best lessons I ever learned about influence and confidence. I'll take you back to my time in the cosmetics industry, where I had to present my strategy to the head of Chanel Global (talk about nerve-wracking!). That experience taught me something crucial: The power of influence comes from confidence. And the moment I started taking myself seriously, others did too. We’re breaking down four powerful steps that will help you own your space, build credibility, and become the leader your business needs: The one thing you already have that is a super power.A simple technique that will boost your credibility and trust (which means sales…).Why talking less is your secret weapon in connecting with clients and building influence.How owning both your strengths and weaknesses will make you the leader your business needs (P.s. It’s not what you think). If you're tired of feeling like you're not being taken seriously or just want to level up your confidence game, this episode is for you. I’m sharing practical tips, real-life examples, and some things you need to stop doing now if you want to be seen as the confident, capable business owner you truly are. Ready to step into your power? Hit play and let’s do this together. I believe in you, and I’m rooting for you every step of the way!
