    Wrapping Season 8: Tips for Taking a Break this Summer

    Hey y’all! We’re wrapping up season 8… because life.  Originally I was considering going back to doing continuous recordings. I had the space and I was finally able to sit down and think of all the things I wanted to share with y’all.  Then life happened. This is going to be one really busy summer filled with time with my son and projects around the house and everything required to keep the business going. So I’ve decided to put a pause on the podcast and focus my time where it really needs to be. We will be back in the fall so keep an eye out for our next season.  In the meantime, listen in to hear my tips for taking time off this summer.

    When You Just Want to Go Back to A 9 to 5 with Dahlia Orth

    We’ve all been there at one point or another. Owning a business and being your own boss is all sunshine and rainbows… until it isn’t. In this episode, I chat with Dahlia Orth, a creative business owner, and we get into the nitty gritty today of what goes on behind the scenes of running a business and what happens when we need a break. There is so much pressure to achieve more and more and more. You see reels and posts of business owners and influencers that are showcasing that they’ve hit six figures or more, that they have so many systems streamlined, and that they are continuing to grow and scale.  What they’re not talking about is everything that goes on behind the scenes of these achievements and the struggles they are facing off-screen.  While we definitely possess the resilience to make it through some of business-owning’s finest debacles, such as financial stability and burnout, sometimes that 9 to 5 we left a few years back is starting to look pretty nice. Should we feel shame surrounding that? Abso-freaking-lutely not.  We need to feel safe and secure, and there’s nothing wrong with finding something that lessens your mental load and helps bring stability back into your life. And if that means you get a part-time job, or you go back to your 9 to 5, that’s ok!  There is a time for resiliency and a time for rest, and I want you to know that it’s okay to rest for a while if that’s what you really need.  Tune in today to hear more of my chat with Dahlia, where we get very real and honest surrounding running a business and what that truly means. I know you’re going to find something in here that resonates with you!  Links and Resources:Use this link to get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook https://share.honeybook.com/jennbaysva Connect with Dahlia:Dahlia Orth Creative - https://dahliaorth.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dahlia.orth/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/dahlia.orth.creative/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@dahliaorth Connect with Success Beyond:Success Beyond - https://successbeyondthelens.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jennbays/ Grab your Boundaries Resources - https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5d6d09f19b5f4c0015d956e7 a...

    The Journey to Entrepreneurship with Nata Salvatori

    I absolutely love hearing about other people’s journey to entrepreneurship. It’s fascinating to see how we all come into the world of entrepreneurship in different ways and for different reasons. Nata Salvatori is no exception. In fact her story is one of my favorites.  Nata is originally from Brazil and made her way to the US through her love of volleyball. Through a stroke of serendipity she was offered a full ride scholarship to play in Arizona and proceeded to study for her passion in healthcare.  She obtained her doctorate and spent years working in the healthcare field as a physical therapist. She spoke at conferences, completed research papers, mentored up and coming therapists and absolutely loved it.  Until she didn’t anymore.  That’s when she started asking herself the hard questions like, what else would I like to do? Is there more than this?  She’s always loved photography so she took a stab at becoming a photographer and within 2 years of opening her business, she was making six figures. She’s since created an app and is starting to do some coaching as well.  If she’s learned anything it’s that life is filled with challenges and twists and turns. But she’s loved navigating it all and is hopeful that she’s helping her children see and realize that there’s no one right way to do life.  Listen in to hear Nata’s amazing story and take note of her advice for people who are both new in business or who are finding that something is missing. She’s truly brilliant and I can’t wait for you to learn more!

    Communicating With Your Team

    It’s impossible to make meaningful changes in life and business when you’re not properly communicating with all parties. Which is why it’s so important for you to learn how to properly communicate with your team and clients. Even when it’s hard.  I have this client, and she is a gem of a client. I love her so much! She works with us both on our admin side and our marketing side. One day we were on a call and she said Jenn, this all looks great, but something is missing from the marketing piece. I feel like it’s falling flat. It needs to be more robust.  Now, her numbers looked good. They weren’t stellar but she was growing and bringing in new leads. Looking at the surface of the strategy, things were great.  But for her, something was off.  Because she communicated that feeling to me, we were able to take that back, create a new plan, test some new ideas, and start seeing more growth. What would have happened if she hadn’t been able to communicate her feelings to me?  This is why it’s so important to learn how to properly communicate. Listen in to hear all of my tips and tricks for creating systems of communication and how to tackle those tough conversations.  Links and Resources:Use this link to get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook https://share.honeybook.com/jennbaysva Connect with Success Beyond:Success Beyond - https://successbeyondthelens.com/ @successbeyond Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/successbeyondthelens/ @successbeyondpodcast Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jennbays/ Picbabun - https://picbabun.com/successbeyondthelenspodcast Pinterest Freebies - https://kyrstenashlayphotography.com/pinterestfreebie Grab your Boundaries Resources - https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5d6d09f19b5f4c0015d956e7 Editable Welcome Packet Template - https://www.canva.com/design/DAD6SL5Zw6I/dVf7cUi1nQduHuQWIDIAEQ/view?utm_content=DAD6SL5Zw6I&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton&mode=preview

    Ensuring Your Business is Accessible to Everyone with Erin Perkins

    Is your business accessible? Do you know what it means to have an accessible business? Quite honestly, though this is something that I’ve been working toward for years, there are still so many things I don’t know about ensuring my business is accessible.  That’s why I am so excited to have Erin Perkins with Mabely Q on to share more about this extremely important topic.  Erin is a former corporate graphic designer turned entrepreneur who also identifies as being deaf and blind. She doesn’t let her disabilities hold her back from doing anything, but it is nice when others spend the time to make consuming content and learning more about their businesses just a little bit easier.  Listen as she shares more about her mission and the things you need to consider as you transition your business into being more accessible. She also shares what accessibility really means and what she has learned as she’s embarked on this journey.  Because Erin has learned a lot. She came from the world of print design but is consulting on accessibility for online businesses. She has truly worked to better understand how we can use the tools at our fingertips to reach more people.  This is definitely an episode you won’t want to miss.

    How Hyper-Independence can Hinder Your Entrepreneurial Journey

    Do you know what keeps me going when things are really tough in life and business? My team. It’s 100% the people who are working with and believing in me and this business that get me through when I feel like I just can’t do any more.  Do you know what I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t let go of my hyper-independence? My team. Because I would never have learned to trust in others to get things done if I hadn’t finally learned to trust in myself.  So what is hyper-independence?  It’s the state of feeling like you are the only one who can do the things. Not just do them correctly, but you feel as if you are literally the only one who is capable of doing them.  Hyper-independence can and will hinder your entrepreneurial journey. Listen in to learn why, hear my story, and gain some tips and tricks for recognizing your hyper-independence and moving past it.

    Take Back the Power in Your Business and Go from Order-Taker to Expert with Amy Posner

    Believe it or not, businesses need order takers. You however, as the CEO in your business should always be regarded as the expert. But how do you go from order taker to expert in your business? Here to share her thoughts is Amy Posner.  Amy is an expert copywriter who has coached others extensively on how to bring their voice to life in their business. To do that she had to build a rock solid business of her own.  Now she’s helping creative freelancers get out of the order taking mindset to become the CEO of their business and life.  How does she do this?  By helping them shift their mindset from the tasks their clients are asking from them, to the problems that really need to be solved. She coaches them on how to ask follow-up questions and ways to dig deeper into the true needs of their clients’ businesses.  Listen as we chat about this process of becoming the expert in your space and to your clients while also staying true to yourself and your values. One of the things I love most about podcasting is getting to have deep and honest conversations with my guests, and that was epitomized in this conversation with Amy.  After we chatted about the business side of things, we delved into how to bring your values to life in your business in a way that is genuine rather than performative.  This was truly a wonderful conversation and I can’t wait for you to hear it.  Links and Resources:Use this link to get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook https://share.honeybook.com/jennbaysva Connect with Amy:Amy Posner - https://amyposner.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/amyrposner/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amyposnerbusinessgrowthmentor/ Connect with Success Beyond:Success Beyond - https://successbeyondthelens.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jennbays/ Grab your Boundaries Resources - https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5d6d09f19b5f4c0015d956e7 Editable Welcome Packet Template - a href="https://www.canva.com/design/DAD6SL5Zw6I/dVf7cUi1nQduHuQWIDIAEQ/view?utm_content=DAD6SL5Zw6I&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton&mode=preview" rel="noopener noreferrer"...
