You probably started your business to make money doing something you love, to have financial freedom, and to finally have PEACE in your life. Then, you started your business and discovered that financial freedom and peace were the FARTHEST things from happening as you worked, hustled, and tried to tame the BEAST that your business became. You got into business to be PROFITABLE, right? Yet so often as entrepreneurs we pay ourselves LAST with whatever leftover money we have if any. Today's guest is about to BLOW your mind in the best way possible and teach you HOW to be profitable in your business starting NOW. We had the honor of chatting with the brilliant Mike Michalowicz! Mike is the creator of Profit First, which is used by hundreds of thousands of companies across the globe to drive profit.

If you struggle with the legal side of your business and terms like "trademarks, copyrights, intellectual property, DBA, LLC, contracts" freak you out, then keep listening! Today we're talking to the incredible Rachel Brenke. Rachel is a lawyer, MBA & Business Consultant, and entrepreneur. She helps entrepreneurs succeed in their business by being efficient, strategic, and legally protecting themselves. This conversation is a GOLD MINE of information. It has taken us YEARS and THOUSANDS of dollars (and lots of mistakes) to learn what she drops in today's show. We polled our podcast Facebook group (aka YOU!) to see what questions you wanted Rachel to answer and she dove DEEP on each one. We dive into why and how contracts are set up, if you should have different contracts for different projects, and if contracts are state specific. Rachel also talks about intellectual property, copyrights, and trademarks. We even tackle questions about business formation, changing your business name, DBA's, LLCs, and all that jazz. If you're an entrepreneur (and not a lawyer) this episode is SOLID GOLD information. Rachel's such a joy and we're so excited for you to learn from her today.

We can probably all agree that this year has been a LOT. This year has been really rough. We as people were not made to live our entire lives in a box with no in-person communication. We were NOT built that way, and we can see the affects this quarantine is having on our emotional, physical, and mental health. We wanted to spend an episode chatting with you about how to get through the continued slump of COVID 19 and the quarantining that comes with it because there IS hope. Things are starting to open again. Life will not always be this way. Now, more than ever, it's vital to cling to that hope and not give in to hopelessness or despair. Today's episode we're making it super conversational, sharing our real, raw thoughts, and giving you some tips that have helped us keep going through quarantine. We hope this episode gives you encouragement and brings joy and life to you wherever you are today.

Regan Walsh is an NYU-certified executive and life coach who focuses on helping women who are over programmed and underwhelmed to reclaim their lives, both personally and professionally. She contributes to Harvard Business Review and Forbes, and has been featured in Fast Company, NBC.com, Smart Business, and Columbus CEO. In today's conversation, we chat with Regan about some pitfalls that entrepreneurs face when growing their business. She lays out three paralyzing habits that are preventing you from living out your potential, along with some practical advice and wisdom on how to squash self-doubt and kick it to the curb where it belongs. We also touched on a topic that is SO important especially as women: the difference between confidence and arrogance and how a lot of times as women we downplay our accomplishments because we're often too afraid to raise our hand or put ourselves out there. If you deal with fear of failure, perfectionism, self-doubt, or being afraid to get in the game you need Regan's wisdom in your life.
