I recently had the opportunity to moderate a panel for BlogHer Food where we heard from 3 trailblazing women on how they turned their passion into profit in the food industry.

I hope you’re excited because today we are talking about how to get in front of thousands of your dream people even if you have a tiny online audience. People often ask me, “Ellen, how do I grow online and get more followers?” And while I don’t think that’s a bad question, I do want to show you a faster way to get in front of more of the RIGHT people...hashtags!

Listen in to hear how to optimize your hashtag usage to bring thousands of new people to your account, how to go mini-viral on a tiny account, and the top three mistakes I see entrepreneurs make with hashtags (and how to avoid making them).

This conversation has been top of mind for me for a long time, and it feels like the right time to bring this up! I want to answer the question, “how do I know if this course or program is a good investment for me?”

I truly believe that the success of your business is dictated by the quality of the questions you ask, and the most common questions I get asked on a daily basis are: 

• “How is your program different?”
• “How can you guarantee my success?”
• “Is it worth the cost?”
• “Should I invest in a coach?” 
• “What program or course should I take next?” 

These questions, while valid and asked with good intentions, keep us playing small in our businesses. My intention with this episode is to help you show up as better business leaders in your daily work, and show you a new perspective about making an investment in a program or course.

You guys get to meet one of my business heros today! I am thrilled to be sharing my conversation with bestselling author & CEO, Emma Isaacs. 

Emma is the founder and CEO of Business Chicks, a community that reaches 500,000 women worldwide. Not only that, but she is a bestselling author and a mom to six kids (she even live streamed the birth of her sixth child, how badass!) 

I love Emma because she embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship with her philosophy of winging it - we chat in depth about why taking action beats planning every time in business.

Her new book, Winging It, is actually kicking off our inaugural Cubicle to CEO Book Club at the end of this month! If you’re interested in joining us, shoot me a DM @missellenyin so I can give you the invite.

Did you see my segment on the Today Show with Hoda & Jenna?! Watch it Here!

I am joined today by a new friend who I’ve quickly grown to love, the amazingly talented Brittney Levine.

In case you missed it, I had the incredible opportunity to work with Brittney a couple of weeks ago on the Today Show with Hoda & Jenna for a super fun, couples quarantine makeover segment. I can’t say enough good things about Brittney and my entire experience on the show. What struck me most about Brittney was her humility - chatting with her felt like talking to one of my best girl friends over coffee.

Brittney has appeared regularly as a style expert on nationally syndicated shows like: the Today Show, Wendy Williams, E! News, and QVC, to name a few. She also has worked with big name celebrities like Catherine Zeta-Jones, and co-hosts the “Be My Neighbor” podcast with her actual NYC neighbor, Bevin Prince, of One Tree Hill fame.

We talk about what she learned...

If you have ever used the words “sales,” and “icky,” in the same sentence, this one’s for you. Today we are talking all things selling, and more specifically direct sales, with founder of Emerge Sales Training, Tasha Smith. Tasha has over 20 years of experience in sales, and has trained and coached over 8,000 network marketing clients to create thriving teams and businesses full of confidence, profit, and joy.

We talk about Tasha’s customer first approach to direct selling, why the sales advice your upline gave you is probably outdated, what most network marketers don’t prioritize in their business that is hurting their growth (hint: it’s NOT recruiting more business builders), and exactly how to structure a sales conversation so you stop getting ghosted or coming across pushy.

Guys, I swear Tasha and I share the same brain because we are in complete agreement on how to sell in a way that is...
