Biz Women Rock

If you wanted a step by step on HOW to go deeper into you niche so you can reap the massive benefits, then this is the episode to listen to! Ramona Rice is the Founder of Spapreneur, a podcast, community and support for independent women spa owners who are growing their day spas purposefully.

Carol Cox has been an active member of the Biz Women Rock community for years and I couldn’t be more excited to share our conversation with you! She’s the owner of Speaking Your Brand, a company that specializes in helping high performing women entrepreneurs create their signature talks and keynote presentations.

What is a Branding Archetype and why is knowing yours such a phenomenal, practical tool to help you in your business? Those are the questions we’re answering on today’s episode. I brought on the incredible Diane Diaz of The Brand Teacher. I’ve seen just how passionate and talented she is at helping women entrepreneurs clarifying their BRANDS so they can better communicate their message to the world and thus, attract more clients to them.

Process Improvement. Productivity. Project management. You would think with a company that offers these services to corporate clients, words like mindfulness and vision wouldn’t necessarily be a part of the conversation. But, you would be wrong. Adriana Girdler created the MVP approach (stands for Mindfulness, Vision and Productivity) because she noticed that in order to help her clients achieve their goals, she needed to incorporate these more “soft” concepts and practices.

Becky Mollenkamp has been an active member of the Biz Women Rock community for quite some time. And, I proudly watched as she started a Facebook Group, Own It! Crush It!, a community for women entrepreneurs and is crushing it herself as its leader of over 1700 women! As I’ve gotten to know Becky better, it became clear that she had a ton of knowledge about LinkedIn. And because I am always trying to inspire myself and you to up our game on LinkedIn, I invited her on to share her wisdom.

I was recently asked to give a Keynote presentation for the Tampa Bay Business Owners. That name may sound familiar to you because, yes, it was the company I ran for 7 years alongside my hubs. So, when he asked me to Keynote, I was actually more nervous than any other presentation I’ve given to date! (You’d think it would be the opposite since it is a group I know so intimately).

During this LIVE COACHING SESSION, Julie initially asks for clarification around her packages - “I want to have packages that are easy for people to say yes to,” was her statement to me. But after a bit of digging, it becomes obvious that her packages are just one piece of the larger puzzle...her sales process takes forever! From start to finish, it can take weeks - and this is with people who reach out to her and are ready to do business with her!

Andrea Owen is the awesome lady behind Your Kick Ass Life. She’s a life coach, writer and self-proclaimed Hellraiser. During our conversation, we’re diving deep into the topic of her most recent book, How to Stop Feeling Like Shit. Self-doubt, negative self-talk and all the things we have swirling around in our heads that keeps us from living vibrantly. Yup. We’re going there.

Anna Dutko has a challenge. For the past 2 years, she’s done an awesome job creating a fitness business (Round 2 Fitness) that has established her as an expert in her field. She’s super active on Facebook and has built an audience who loves her! But something new has emerged for her and it’s got her creative attention. And it has nothing to do with fitness.

In February 2014, I launched the first episode of the Biz Women Rock podcast...a podcast that would immediately attract the most incredible, ambitious women entrepreneurs I have ever had the privilege of knowing (that would be YOU), whom I get to connect with every day.

Francesca Montillo is the founder of Lazy Italian Culinary Adventures. She provides cooking classes, easy to make Italian recipes and guided culinary tours around her homeland of Italy. Like many entrepreneurs, she’s still working a full time job and wants to turn her side hustle into a full time business that can provide for her!

Linda Berger is the creator of Business Women Warriors, a 90 Day program that helps ambitious business women focus in on ONE GOAL they have and work on it intentionally (and with accountability!) so they can achieve it! Her program is the culmination of years of being a productivity coach and she has a gift for helping clients create results when they FOCUS.

Julie Neale is a total sweetheart. She started her business and podcast Mother’s Quest in 2016 so she could talk about and support fellow moms who were looking for a more EPIC life...as she was on her own quest. During this LIVE COACHING SESSION, we do a deep dive into how Julie can do a better job of monetizing her podcast and community.

It’s going to take you all of 5 seconds to fall in love with Luann Nigara. She’s a brilliant woman entrepreneur who’s been running Window Works, a company that provides custom window and awning treatments, for over 30 years. In that time, she and her two partners - her husband and her cousin - have grown to 3 locations in New Jersey (and then retracted back into their one hub store), managed a growing team and dealt with just about every entrepreneurial experience along the way.

I know...you’ve heard it 1000 times: get enough sleep, eat healthy food and exercise regularly. Not a new formula, right? But how do we actually make these changes? Especially when we’re in the throws of building our businesses? I mean, late nights, crappy food and extra pounds are just a part of the “successful entrepreneur” right of passage, aren’t they? NOPE.
