The Jennifer Allwood Show

If you follow me on Instagram or YouTube, you know a few weeks ago I did some videos talking about how within 6 months I’ve lost half my hair. I am watching very closely what’s going on with the Deva Curl products and have become very invested. First, because of my own personal health and second, as a business person to see how they as a company handle this storm. There is a lot for us as business owners and consumers to learn here.

Have you ever entered a password and thought you have it right, but it didn't work? Or, do you remember old padlocks where if you were just one tiny click off, the lock wouldn't open? I want you to think of what you have going on right now in life and business. Is it possible that maybe you have one thing out of alignment? Maybe there is one thing that you need to adjust and then everything else will fall into place. I have some questions to help you check your alignment.

This Friday I am introducing you to another new friend! Jaime Cross is has a faith that is so inspirational. Basically she asked God for a billion-dollar business idea and that is just what she got. But she first had to be faithful in the small like things, like spending a year learning how to make a bar of soap! You don't want to miss this great story!

There are so many unknowns as an entrepreneur—truly things we have no control over. I want to talk today about really focusing on the things we DO have control over in an effort to protect our businesses. These are 4 areas that I want you to assess and make sure you are doing everything you can to keep your business and revenue safe. There is no need to let these things go a day longer when there is so much at risk.

I have seen something several times lately that I am not okay with. It is people using someone's faith as a way to guilt or shame them into doing something. This form of manipulation should not be tolerated. It is not okay, and I want to give you permission to not be taken advantage of in this way. Instead, know what the Bible says and let that be what guides your decisions in life and business.

Another Friday, another Equipped Speaker intro. Lisa is a new friend that I absolutely cannot wait to meet in real life! On this special Friday episode, we talk all about a big theme in Lisa's life for this year and her most pivot experience of the last decade. Lisa also shares some info about her business and where it is going. I am happy to introduce you to Lisa Whittle!

You know how sometimes you just don't know what you don't know? There were certainly quite a few things I didn't know when writing my book, Fear Is Not the Boss of You. And because I want to help a sister out, I am giving you a peek behind the curtain to the 3 things I wish I had known before I started this process. I am also dishing out this history of how this whole dream started for me. Whether or not you hope to one day write a book or you just like to know the inside scoop, this episode is for you!

In the last few weeks, I have come across several women who are using their faith as an excuse to not grow their businesses and not have boundaries in their businesses. I am all for giving things away, like this podcast. But if you are not ever making money, it is a service or a ministry you are providing, not a business. Just because you love Jesus, does not mean you are to give everything away for free and not have any boundaries with your time and skills. I know this message is for someone, so listen in!

For the next few Fridays, I will be introducing some new friends—the emcee and speakers for my Equipped Conference! We are starting off with the emcee, Kelsey. Not only does she have some of the best curly hair EVER, she is also hilarious. In fact, her official, self-proclaimed job title is motivational comedian. Kelsey has a great story, loves the Lord, and is a super-smart businesswoman too. Let's get to know her!

Content is king when it comes to reach and engagement on social media. I want to give you 3 great content ideas that are by far the best for 2020! I am actually not only giving the content ideas, but also some how-to on implementing! Social media is always changing and I want you to be in the know! I hope this is super helpful as you plan your content. Let's rock the algorithm, grow our page, and tell people what we are for all at the same time!

Have you ever noticed that the enemy is just waiting for you to gain momentum and get the courage to do something you know God wants you to do, only so he can put a stop to it? He will steal, kill, and destroy using discouragement! You need to be wise enough to recognize when this happens. You also need a strategy and an arsenal to not let the discouragement win. One of the best ways I have found to battle discouragement is to go to my vault of courage. Listen in as I share the details!

I absolutely love any time I get to interview my coaching clients who are killing it in the online space. I feel like such a proud mama. Stacey has gone from a prisoner of her garage, only making money when she was painting furniture, to a successful business owner who is passionate about what she is doing and has found freedom in her time and finances. After taking my course, The Creators Roadmap™, she has implemented 6 of the 7 revenue streams. Stacey has done the work and made it happen and you can too

This was the last episode in our special series. These have been my special video series where I talk about making money in the online space. My heart's desire if for everyone to be able to find freedom in their time and freedom in their money! I want that for you too. I hope you are able to join me inside the course!!!

If you think you are ready for what is next in your business, here is a big hurdle you need to overcome—you cannot be scared to sell! Unfortunately, some of us (mostly women) attach our personal worth to our sales. Instead, we need to look at the data, make adjustments, and move on from each selling experience. We need to get a deep conviction that what we are selling has value, and it is our duty to share this with the world!

Here is video 3 for my free video series that is being released. I want you to be able to listen right here on the podcast! I am sharing all about 7 ways you can make money in the online space. My passion is to help as many people as possible find freedom in their time and finances and this series talks all about how to do it. So be watching out for the last installment next week!
