We recently celebrated the one year anniversary of this show! To celebrate we decided to host a fun giveaway and invite five listeners to come on the show and ask me any question they had about their business, and I would answer it hot-seat style. So, that’s this episode! We have five amazing business owners asking really insightful questions that I think a lot of you will find really beneficial, not only to have those questions answered, but to know that you’re not alone in this thing called entrepreneurship!

Favorite Takeaways From This Episode

  • Invest in yourself and your skillsets. 
  • You can’t shortcut your way to success, but you can avoid other people’s mistakes.
  • You don’t know what you don’t know.
  • Don’t take on too much too soon in your business.
  • Focus on ONE service or product. More products do not equal more money.
  • Build a repeatable sales system to bring traffic to your one offer.
  • Build out a hierarchy chart so that you know all the different roles in your business.
  • Hire out the tasks that take up the most time and you enjoy the least, first.
  • When you have a business IG account, you will get to see more insights and metrics that help you understand more about how your content is performing.
  • Don’t make decisions based off of emotions. Make decisions based off of data instead - the insights you’ll get from being a business profile will help you make necessary decisions in your business.
  • People buy from people, so just because you have a business profile, doesn’t mean you need to change anything about how you show up online.
  • If you have not yet made your first six figures in your business, the most efficient way to get there is to focus on scaling ONE offer first.
  • What is the most profitable aspect of your business?
  • The power of one - your messaging will convert better if you’re speaking to one person who wants one specific result.
  • Build a value ladder.
  • A dollar saved is more valuable than a dollar earned.
  • The best way to maximize time and money in business is online digital products and services.
  • Build a sales machine that is repeatable and doesn’t require your one on one time.
