Into The Wild

Hey you wild women! Staying ahead of the marketing curve is always a great advantage. Getting clear on your strategy to actually create the conversion? That's the tough part. As small business owners, we often end up throwing spaghetti at the wall, hoping something will stick - until the overwhelm sets in, sending us back to the drawing board, or quitting altogether. As this week's guest explains, "Avoid the spaghetti approach. Otherwise it's a gamble like playing the lottery with your marketing." At the root of it, successful marketing takes more than a great offer presented in a webinar. In a buyer-hesitant market, it takes mastering messaging, constant refinement, and a fully cohesive strategy. As Emily Hirsh explains, it's important to understand how long it realistically takes to do it well. Emily is a leading digital marketing strategist, young entrepreneur, and founder of Hirsh Marketing, one of the fastest growing digital marketing agencies with over $114 million (and counting!) in client revenue generated. In this episode, we discuss the importance of defining your ideal customer, some clever strategies to help you stand out from the competition, and how to stay focused and motivated along the way. Plus, Emily shares her predictions on what we can expect to see in marketing in 2023! In this episode you will learn about: How to strategically survive and thrive during a recession The benefits of releasing unfiltered, transparent content Marketing predictions for 2023 Sneaky marketing secrets for your small business How to get clear on YOUR strategy and take action Letting go of unrealistic marketing expectations What it means to be a wild woman: Freedom to make my own schedule, rules and reality.

Hey you wild women! ⁣ ⁣ This week, I chat with a woman who wears many hats, the one and only Angie Lee. She's an entrepreneur, influencer, comedian, founder of the 8-figure wellness brand Soul CBD and host of The Angie Lee Show, a top Forbes podcast with millions of downloads. ⁣ ⁣ As a child, Angie had that feeling (maybe you, or your kids know the one) of being different. Always creative, she struggled to sit through class, finish a book, and would even paint her room a different color on a weekly basis! It all made sense after a brain scan confirmed the diagnosis of ADHD. ⁣ ⁣ Since then, Angie has learned how to embrace her neurodiverse brain, using it as a tool in her entrepreneurial endeavors. She's also become the ultimate biohacker — optimizing her food, nutrition, and supplements to help her manage her condition and succeed in business. ⁣ ⁣ In this episode, Angie and I discuss why we think that most successful entrepreneurs have inklings of ADHD, and how to manage it naturally for better cognitive function. It takes time to build these healthy habits and get dialed in, but if you're committed, you can increase your energy and output throughout the day. From exercise to salt lamps, Angie has found a way to take her diagnosis and make it her superpower in business. ⁣ ⁣ "Entrepreneurship is probably the number one job for the ADHD. If leveraged properly, it is such a strength." - Angie Lee⁣ ⁣ In this episode you will learn about:⁣ How to use ADHD as an advantage in entrepreneurship.⁣⁣ Investigating the healing power of CBD.⁣ Biohacks to optimize your sleep, nutrition and movement for more productivity.⁣⁣ Why sleeping well can change your entire life.⁣ How to increase and manage your energy throughout the day.⁣ How neurodiversity contributes to creativity. ⁣ ⁣ -------------⁣ ⁣Got a minute?

She has over 20 years of experience creating category-defining products and customer experiences that deliver strategic, measurable growth for businesses.

Want to get ahead in business and life? Here's the solution: Pour your energy into something you love. Then commit to taking daily action towards that thing. More importantly, screw what everyone else thinks. Seriously, screw it. Nothing is more heartbreaking than seeing women create very low limits because they are afraid of disappointing their mothers, worried about the backlash if they shine brighter than their peers, or feel shame in earning a lot of money because they were told it is selfish. It's a story that I've seen hundreds of times with women at every stage in business, and this is why I had to have Jen Gottlieb, Co-founder of Super Connector Media and former VH1 co-host, on the show. She defied the odds and staked the claim to become one of the best motivational speakers ever. And hey, why the hell not?! She decided to stop pleasing everyone else to follow her dreams, and she's driving that bus 100 miles/hour down the freeway. "Your subconscious is the thing that's driving the bus, and if it believes that you are the champion, it's going to help you take action in the way that is going to get you the things that you want." - Jen Gottlieb. In this episode, you will learn about: How to take rejection How confidence comes from consistently sticking with the commitments you make to yourself How failure doesn't ever feel as bad as the fear of the failure How to get really good at making NO your best friend The secrets to how she grew her agency What it means to be a wild woman: It's to unapologetically speak your truth and go for what you want. - Jenn Gottlieb Mentions: The best year blueprint Got a minute?

If there is one thing money can't buy, it's time.⁣ ⁣ Turns out, my husband, Dan Martell, figured out a way to buy back time so that you can do the work that lights you up. Not the mundane crap that keeps you busy but not productive. I am talking about sustainable ways to delegate, including procedures that teach you how to quickly and efficiently onboard contractors or employees.⁣ ⁣ These rules even apply to family life. In this episode, Dan and I discuss how we hired a night nanny when our kids were young and even outsourced daycare pick-up so that we could both jump on morning team calls without stress. We touch on everything else high performers should be delegating, like house cleaning, cooking, landscaping, pool maintenance, snow removal, and even gift buying. There is nothing you can't delegate. ⁣ In this episode, you will learn about: Why Dan wrote his book How to buy back your time (obviously) The three S's of pain in growing a business How buying time is the first principle approach to scaling yourself The most common roadblock in growing a business Your 'buy-back rate' The perfect week ⁣----------- Got a minute?

Hey you wild women! I know, I know, I knowwww....you hate shooting videos. Me too! The thought of having to get all dolled up, create the speaking notes, find the trending audio and hashtags, shoot and re-shoot one bajillion takes, and tie it all together to hopefully publish a video that goes viral, or at least your mom views and likes - makes you wonder what more you could have done with your time. All for what? The faith that it will make you famous and get you flooded with clients. Here's to dreaming 🥂 Or not. As this week's guest explains, "Pick up your phone and film. It's never going to be perfect. If the information is good, people won't care about the production value," she is so right. I had a little Reel go viral (248k views) last fall, and while I didn't see a direct customer come from it, I did get more relevant and engaged followers. It also helped one prospect relate to me enough to be confident in hiring me (soooo it did garner me a sale!) Videos are intimidating at first, but Elise Darma explains to us why they are important and how to get started. Elise Darma is a marketing coach who specializes in helping not-so-Insta-famous business people make actual revenue directly from social media. She's helped over 30,000 people grow their businesses, sell more programs, and build money-making brands. Elise has been featured for her expertise in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Digital Marketer, and Social Media Examiner. In this episode, Elise and I discuss the why behind the importance of creating social video content and the how and highlight how she stays consistent with content creation and engagement. In this episode, you will learn about: Why social videos are important for your business How to create social media videos for your small business How to shoot viral social media videos How to create a social media content calendar How to create a social media video strategy Why video is the #1 connection point for your brand ------------- Got a minute?

Hey you wild women! I used to live my life in a state of overwhelm. I was busy doing the stuff that felt productive but wasn't moving the needle. It was an avoidance mechanism because I was too afraid to succeed. Success meant more hours at the office, time away from my family, and putting my health on the back burner. I could coast if I put in more hours and could stop when things started to get good. Coasting was safe and predictable, but I never progressed as a result. That eventually led me to burnout. I never learned the suitable systems to manage my business or how to delegate effectively. Ultimately, we established OKRs, implemented great project management systems, and adopted decent recruiting techniques, but the damage was already done. The hustle burned me out, and I eventually threw in the towel. To say I *may* have regrets, well, sure. I built a great business, just a little ass-backward. But if I had to do it again, I would first implement what this week's guest, Jadah Sellner, highlights in this episode and her book SHE BUILDS: The Anti-Hustle Guide to Grow Your Business and Nourish Your Life. First thing I am doing starting today: Implementing support mechanisms! "When we operate at this high level of ambition, creativity, output, and double duty of business and home life, we need a lot of support mechanisms in place to hold us as we grow." - Jadah Sellner In this episode, you will learn about: The need for a support squad How to keep going despite the opposition How to stop doing things to impress others Why toughness is self-defined Understanding what is enough for you Calculating your enough number How the constant chase for more isn't fulfilling How to avoid the fear cycle that leads to exhaustion What it means to be a wild woman: Being connected to your capacity for pleasure and in that place of power, asking yourself, "how do I turn myself on?" Removing the stigma that this is someone else's responsibility. Got a minute? Would love a review! Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap, and give me 5-stars. Then select "Write a Review."
