She Did It Her Way

Have you ever been scorned by a business and felt that you could do it better? Are you scared that your business isn’t mainstream enough to thrive? That never crossed Stephanie Grutz’s mind because she knew that what she was doing was necessary in order to better educate and treat people about their health. Stephanie is an integrative nurse practitioner who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease when she was 21, after she traveled across the country training other practitioners in her role as a senior nurse practitioner. The stress of her job sent her into the hospital for seven days. After her ordeal, she felt as of Western medicine had failed her and wanted to help herself and others find ways to truly cure themselves and not temporarily mask their symptoms.

Do you remember when you were asked what you wanted to do when you grew up? The passionate way you answered? How you could envision yourself doing that profession so vividly?

Here we are! Can't believe we are on the 6th and final episode with Cordova!  Are you wondering if you should start a business? Curious as to what the first 3 months in of launching a business looks like? 

Hi friends! Amanda here for another solocast! Today I'm reflecting on February's goals, sharing March's focuses plus how to look at your to-do list to get the right things done and move your business forward.  Woah. Where do I start? Anyone else feel like February flew by? Even though it was 2-3 days shorter than other months it felt like it was half the amount of days! Okay, maybe it was because I was out of town the last week of the month too.

Hi friends! Today is another solocast and I can't wait to share it! I'm currently writing this from Barcelona with a glass of red wine in hand right before heading to bed for another rewarding, intense day tomorrow. More about that later!

Do the haters got you down? Are you doubting whether you should have invested your time and energy into building your business? How do you keep a level head? Are you becoming your worst enemy?

Do you know how to generate clientele in an e-commerce business? Who is your clientele? Where are they located? How do you reach them? How do you know how to develop an invested and loyal customer base? Did you ever think of mentioning chocolate?

So now that your business is up and running, how do you know how well you're doing?  Do you have immediate access to your analytics? And once you get those numbers, what and how do you adapt? Have you figured out what works best for your business operationally? You've finally become the boss, but maybe you're facing  unanticipated challenges? Well, you're not alone, and Cordova Pleasants, owner of Resolute Boutique and Lifestyle, understands as she progresses with her new business as well.

What do you do when you have a huge idea, but are clueless on the execution? How do you figure out how to segment your target market? Is there even a place for your dream in the marketplace? Our guest today, Corielle Laaspere, had the same questions when starting her own marketplace, Lift Uplift. Corielle always had a fire inside of her fueled toward uplifting women. She never knew what to do with her fire, until  she heard a story of a 19 year old computer science entrepreneur, Afreen Rahman,  and a reflective walk with her dog. She decided to create an online network for women to come together and help each other prosper.

Did you take the first steps in starting your business only to have them fall through? Or were you able to make some headway only to be confronted with the overwhelming reality of what it means to be your own boss? Regardless, did that fire in your soul and the determination in your heart ever die? We didn't think so! And even if your confidence was shaken, we've got just the cure you need. We check back in with Cordova Pleasant, owner of Resolute Boutique and Lifestyle, and she chronicles the major problems she's faced as her online store takes flight. She reminds aspiring entrepreneurs to find joy in their discouraging and stressful times when starting out, because those problems are born out of being the boss and dictator of your own business.

Hi friends!  Another solocast today and I'm so excited to share these 10 things. I've rounded up some of the things I believe no one tells you about entrepreneurship plus I reached out to other female entrepreneurs in my network as well.  I hope you're finding these solocasts helpful! Thank you to everyone for the positive feedback as well. You have no idea how much I appreciate y'all for tuning in each week too. :) Real quick, real talk. Went to Hamilton the musical Tuesday night this week. Absolutely amazing. Officially on the Hamilton train - woot woot! Okay, now back to regular programming ;)

Are you ready to take the leap but don’t really know where to start? Maybe you’ve heard parts of entrepreneurs stories that inspired you and pushed you in the right direction, but what comes next? Most of the time, you aren’t able to follow someone’s journey from day one to the successful spot they end up in. We’ve changed all of that. Now, you are able to follow a lady boss on her journey as a owner of a lifestyle boutique in Alaska!

Hi friends! Amanda here with another solocast. In today's episode I walk you through the goals we set for January and share with you ones that we made, didn't make and some reasons why, along with internal reflection of being a business owner and tools for productivity.

Have you had a moment of passion when you decided you can't just talk anymore, you need to take action? Maybe you're scared to take the next step because of the doubts that fill your head and may even come from the people around you? You can take action and once you do, it's important to stay hungry, stay humble and always hustle. Today's guest, Julie Harris, is the Founder and CEO of the Exceptional Women's Network (EWN). Julie shares her moment of passion that set the EWN in motion to help women fulfill their ultimate potential.

Hi She Did It Her Way listeners! Amanda here. Thank you as always for tuning in - I am so grateful you are here! Typically I bring on a guest to share the behind the scenes of her business but this week I wanted to record a solocast on the "10 Things I wish I would Have Done Sooner in My Business."
