Expert Interviews

Does this sound familiar?

If you’re an online entrepreneur, you’re likely thinking about growing your email list, getting more traffic, building your platform, finding the right social media strategy…

And all of these have one thing in common.

You’re just looking to reach and connect with more real people.

It’s so easy to forget that last part – the real people.

And in our quest for automation, we even forget that there’s a more direct, often more powerful way to “engage” and “interact” with our ideal customers and potential partners.

In PERSON.

Today’s guest is a short and documentary filmmaker who is building her audience and community by going back these basics…

So, if you’re struggling to build your audience or automate all the things…how about you take a break from that and get a much needed reminder (like I did) of how important it is to BE with your peeps.

If you've ever thought of creating a subscription box business, you are not alone!

Whether you’re an online business owner, a course creator, a physical business owner – offering a subscription box is a great way to add a high touch offering, plus not only do consumers love them, but business owners love the stability of the recurring revenue.

Today’s guest has built her own stationery and card subscription-based business from scratch.

She runs it mostly on her own. She curates the contents of each box, assembles all the boxes, ships everything too! Has two different types of boxes people can order and creates a beautiful experience no matter which one you choose!

So, if you’re interested in starting a new business, looking for a way to add a new type of offering to whatever you’re already doing, listen to my conversation with Danielle Nelson of Pretty By Post.

Would you believe that self-awareness is your biggest (and often hidden) business super power?

How well do you know yourself? I don’t mean your likes, dislikes, dreams or your life story, but really do you know what makes you tick?

How you respond to criticism…
How you do you best work…
WHEN you do your best work…
If you like to be left alone or work with other people…
Why you need someone to ask how you’re doing…
What it means if someone is disloyal…
What it means when someone is LOYAL…
Your reaction to failure…
Your reaction stress…

Today’s guest went on a journey to really figure out what made her tick in her business, how to avoid duplicating past negative workplace practices she’d experienced…and it led her to the Enneagram.

You can never stop getting to know yourself in order to start achieving things you never thought possible (like launching).

Let’s get real.

Sometimes it’s hard to know if you’re making progress on your business.

You show up week after week – publish the podcast, write the newsletter, host the webinar.

And even when you see more people paying attention, more likes, more people opt-in…it can feel a bit unclear.

Are you going in the right direction?

Are you saying and doing the right things?

Over the years I’ve seen many people beat themselves up for not being where they should be or being behind, I knew it was time to stop and share the story of a woman I’ve watched grow over the past several years.

When we dissected her journey, the things she’s accomplished, we could see plain as day how progress was happening all along – even in the “not big enough” moments that could have escaped her — if she hadn’t been paying attention.
