The BizChix Podcast: Female Entrepreneurs | Women Small Business | Biz Chix Natalie Eckdahl, MBA

Trauma. 
Most people have some amount of trauma. 
What most people don’t realize though is that you can have trauma related to and involving money. 
Yes, money. That thing we use everyday to buy our food, pay our rent, the stuff that keeps our lights on. . . Depending on your relationship with it, depending on your parents relationship with it, and even their parents’ relationship with it, money holds a lot of significance. 
Today on the podcast, I share with you some insights around money trauma that I’ve learned while coaching women business owners over the years.

What would it look like for your business to go to the next level? 
On today’s episode, I chat with Lisa Archer, CEO of Vancouver-based LacroHR and current $ix Figures Lab member, as we map out her path to making multi-six figures. 
👉 Connect with Lisa Archer on LinkedIn.
Lisa came into the program already on the verge of making six figures but she struggled to see how she could get to the next level in her business. 
In Lisa’s case, I suggest a two-pronged approach. First, narrowing down her positioning even more and then, hiring help in her business, allowing her to stay in her Zone of Genius. 
By staying in your Zone of Genius and letting your natural talents shine, you are one step closer to building an enduring business that is enjoyable, profitable, and sustainable.

The hardest thing to rebuild is trust. 
For many clients, I am not the first coach they’ve had. 
And more often than I’d like, I’ve heard other coaches and programs described as, “feeling like a waste of money,” or that the program was, “too big and you never got time with the lead coach.”   
They have lost trust in the coaching community–and rightfully so. 
Thankfully, not all coaches are the same. 
Today, Elizabeth Cook, my co-coach in $ix Figures Lab, joins me as we talk about what to look for in a coaching program, the questions you should ask when looking at a new program, and how our $ix Figures Lab program differs from most other programs on the market.

When it comes to social media, it can be an incredibly powerful tool or a drain on your time and your energy.
So how can you make social media work for your business and avoid falling down the rabbit hole of your newsfeed? 
By joining us for BizChix LinkedIn Bingo!
I introduced this to our $ix Figures Lab members at the beginning of the month, and I’m delighted to share it with you today.

As a small business owner and a coach of small business owners, I know first hand how challenging growing and scaling your business can be. 
Seemingly overnight, a ton of questions pop up as your company grows in size. Questions like, “When do I need to hire? When should I hire? How much help can I afford? What do I need help with first and foremost?” 
$ix Figures Lab member, Kelly McLaughlin, a fundraising consultant for nonprofits, recently reached out to me asking me something similar but wonderfully phrased.
“When do you know it’s a good idea to invest in your business?” 
I love how she framed this idea of growth within a company as an investment, looking at it as a long term solution which will act as a stepping stone to something greater. 
While I would love to say there is a one size fits all answer to this question, there is no secret formula. 
It’s entirely dependent on your individual circumstances, on where you are, and where you eventually want to be.
And remember, the beautiful thing about being a CEO is that you have a rare opportunity to create a business that is profitable, sustainable, and enjoyable.
