In This Episode You Will Learn About: The power of bartering The importance of empowering female entrepreneurs Investing in yourself Working through the fear of charging for your services Having audacious goals Resources: barterandbe.com tothemoonsocial.com Instagram: @barterandbe | @tatatickaradze | @tothemoonsocial Show Notes: You have got to listen to Tata Tickaradze because her knowledge is going to make a massive difference in your business. She's the founder of To The Moon Social Media Agency and Barter + Be, and they are both epic brands. Never before have so many people taken their businesses online, and Barter + Be allows business owners to barter their skills and services in order to get what they need done. We talk about her platform, how you can barter to get what you need, updating your money mindset, and more. You can barter and trade your way to exactly what you need. Question Highlights: What is Barter + Be and where did the idea come from? Why is empowering female entrepreneurs more important now than ever before? What happens when people have skin in the game? How did you work through your fear of charging? What's your big, audacious goal for this company? What do you have to say to those people with a good idea that haven't acted on it yet? Guest Bio: Barter & Be was created by entrepreneur and social media branding expert Tata Tickaradze. A skilled marketer who understands the nuances of all aspects of social presence from planning to development to execution, Tata's created her own agency, To the Moon Social. She has single-handedly grown significant user communities based on her time-honed process. Tata's knowledge of content and delivery has been critical in the launch of major brands and professional services alike. As Tata built her own business, she kept running into a problem: In order to progress and expand, she needed to invest in professional services like graphic design, photography, and web development. But as a small business owner, she didn't always have the cash in her bank account to pay for these types of services. It was a catch-22: In order to be more profitable, she needed to up her game … but in order to up her game, she had to spend more money. When Tata looked around, she saw many of her creative and entrepreneurial friends running up against the same problem—and often, they needed her help with social media. Naturally, they started to swap services. And something amazing happened—everyone grew their businesses, together. A master connector, Tata created Barter & Be to help other women expand their networks of creative female entrepreneurs, and to facilitate the growth of their businesses without the hefty price tag.

There is a real danger, as well as an awesome benefit, to being surrounded by people who are more successful than you. We all judge our success against the people around us. If you feel relatively more successful than the people around you, it may feel good, but you may not be tapping into the abundance that's waiting for you. If you're surrounded by people who are all more successful than you, you may feel bad, but also motivated to do better. Are you letting comparison hurt you? Or are you making it work for you?
