Thrive off the Ladder Twanna Toliver

Ever wonder how entrepreneurs sell out their services and products as soon as the doors open? It’s because they offer so much value to their potential customers for free that these clients know that they will get the results they want. But to do that, you have to let yourself be seen, let yourself be heard, and trust that you know what you’re talking about. 






In this week's episode, we’re sitting down with LaShonda Brown. LaShonda is a tech educator and YouTube expert who teaches service providers how to work less and live more by leveraging tech and YouTube. Her YouTube channel @BootstrapBizAdvice helps thousands of entrepreneurs in real time keep their profit margins high and expenses low.






LaShonda Brown tells us why potential clients were begging her to let them pay her. The value that she had to offer was so impactful that people were asking for her Venmo after just a few conversations. And here on the Thrive Off the Ladder Podcast, she’s going to teach you how you can do the same and how you can do it sustainably so that you don’t burn yourself out.

Where ditching a few bad habits before the end of the year and that includes your habit of perfectionism. Perfectionism keeps us from being great because it forces us to spend all our energy on the anxiety of a project rather than the quality of the project. And that includes your business projects. This week’s guest is Toya Gavin and she’s going to give us permission to be basic. 






Toya Gavin is an attorney, coach, and founder of Woke Up Worthy. At Woke Up Worthy, Toya helps women of color transition from the jobs they were trained into the careers they were built for. Toya holds a Juris Doctorate from the George Washington University Law School and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from Rutgers University. She is licensed to practice law in New York and New Jersey and is an ICF-certified coach. Toya's work as a coach is informed by numerous teachers, authors, artists, and practitioners, both personal and professional, including her sisters, aunts, husband, and mother.






In this week’s episode, Toya and I talk about how to get rid of internalized oppression and focus on self-compassion. You don’t have to be. At 100% every minute of every day. It’s not sustainable. Slow down, don’t beat yourself up, and let yourself be great,  not perfect.

Welcome back to a brand new episode and a brand new title! This season we are switching it up, and bringing even more value to the podcast. This season will be a culmination of my work over the last seven years. 






This season on the Thrive off the Ladder podcast, I’ll be taking everything I learned over the years as a women’s entrepreneurship coach and simplifying the way we build a business. That means addressing professional traumas, doing business from wisdom and not wounds, and how to offer value before you sell anything. 






Happy listening!

I've always said that women don't need to be empowered they need to be equipped.


Permission for us to soar has already been granted but I'm well aware of the beating our confidence and spirit can take day after day in spaces that don't see us fully or value what we bring to the table.


It was the reason I wanted to do this series, the best is yet to come, to remind us through it all we are still here and our work is not in vain there is so much more in store for us!


These stories are from women who have reinvented themselves, bounced back, wasted nothing and show up every day to pour into women and do work no one else wants to do.


While this is the season finale I hope that you will come back to listen to this stories for encouragement and insight on how to press forward.


Here are the episodes from the season:


The Best is Yet to Come Series Introduction with your host Twanna Toliver


21st Century Career with Toya Gavin


Recapture the Vision with Regina Robinson


Repurpose your Gifts with Alliah L. Agostini


Building a Legacy with Tammy Darmel Moore


You can Bounce Back with Precious L. Williams


Speaking of Money! With Pamela Capalad

Money is the #1 reason women stay in unfulfilling jobs. “I gotta pay my bills” is an universal mantra for the overworked, undervalued and most of the time under paid career woman.


I’ve learned the hard way that getting paid, staying paid and increasing pay are all three totally distinct skill sets that require different ways of thinking and strategy.


Whether you as an employee or entrepreneur getting your money right will always be in season.


Pricing a product or services and hiring help is one of the most challenging parts of starting a business along with negotiating a salary and setting boundaries as an employee.


Money continues to be sensitive topic for women and my guest life's work is to change that! Especially for women of color.
