Business BLAB - Leveraging Social Media To Grow Your Email List

Business BLAB - Leveraging Social Media To Grow Your Email List

Last week we talked about why social media isn’t a great strategy for your business… but, I know many of you are still relying on good ol’ IG. So this week, we are going to talk about how you can leverage social media to grow your email list. Because social media does have its time and place in the marketing puzzle. It just isn’t the biggest piece.
I was teaching an email marketing class recently and I talked about how your email list is your home base. And everything you do gives access to an avenue that will take your person back to that home base. So, you go to a networking event - goal is to get someone to come into your world (aka your homebase… aka you email list). You go on a podcast or post in a facebook group, or any other visibility strategy to get more eyes on you.. same goal. Get the person into your world… So if you flip how you use social media from your main marketing platform to another avenue that gets people to your homebase, you’ve cracked the code as far as I’m concerned.
So how do you start doing this? In this episode I break down my tried and true strategy to use social media to grow your email list.

Business BLAB - Remember when IG ghosted us?

Business BLAB - Remember when IG ghosted us?

It’s spooky season.. And I’ve got a little ghost story to share today… Some of you might remember October of 2021. We were all going about our mornings, enjoying the cup of coffee, doing the routines and then hop on to IG (as we do) to scroll for “inspiration” and it wasn’t loading. 

You thought it was just your phone being annoying so you go onto your other platforms and check back a while later. Still nothing. Another hour goes by… still nothing. You start to panic. Maybe even sweat a little because, if you were like me, you had a whole launch planned that day and it was mostly going down through IG. 

Next thing you know, everyone in the digital world is talking about how their IG is down too. Panic posts on FB asking “is this just me”? 

Hours go by and collectively the digital marketing and online business world starts to freak out because IG has never been down this long.. And if IG is down… HOW are we even operating our businesses? 

Ladies… this is a TRUE STORY! You scared yet? 

This was the resurrection of email marketing, and if you still aren't on board... you should be SCARED!

This episode will send chills down your spine and leave you with action steps to save yourself (and your business) today!

Summer Success Blueprint - Sustainable Scaling For This Season & Beyond: Introducing A Seat At The Table

Summer Success Blueprint - Sustainable Scaling For This Season & Beyond: Introducing A Seat At The Table

Welcome back to THE LAST episode of The Summer Success Blueprint. Today, we're diving even deeper into my favorite topic! Last week we talked about the power of creating a high level support network. How are you feeling? Do you have the right support in your business to get to the next level? Still not sure that something like this is for you? Well, let’s start by asking you a couple questions…. Where do you want your business to be by the end of this year? How do you want to feel? …What will happen in the next 4 months if you change nothing? …. Really, imagine it! But yourself in that moment. How are you feeling? Is your schedule aligned with your life and the lifestyle you want to live? Did you hit your goals? Are you scaling? ….. Take a moment and put yourself there…. Do you like what you see?  Now, imagine this same scene if you DO change something. If you are surrounded by community, support, mentorship, and accountability. If you’ve connected with a group who will help you through the highs and lows of business and life. Who support you and your business as if it were their own. Who help you brainstorm and execute your big next level ideas, connect you with the right people to reach your goals, and are your biggest supporters….  And you’ve learned how to create a schedule and business around your life. How to scale your business for profit. How to grow your brand and attract clients ready to buy from you. How to run a business that allows you to take time off and enjoy LIFE….  Now, do you like what you see?  Which version of this future feels better?  I’d have to guess it’s the second one, right? But just in case you’re still unsure, this episode will break down a few of the biggest transformations you’ll get by going all in on yourself and your business! Plus I introduce a seat at the table in my new Mastermind inspired program - The Boss Academy! Want to go deeper in your Scaling? To come together with a roundtable of high level women?

I’m talking about targeted, purposeful networking that sets the stage for massive growth and real relationships!
And I’m not just going to talk about theory here. Oh no! I’ve went all in on my networking strategy over the last couple years and most recently have achieved remarkable results through strategic local networking.

Business BLAB - Why What You Do Now Matters For Fall

Business BLAB - Why What You Do Now Matters For Fall

Ok, we are just getting into “official Summer”, and I hate to speed up time or even mention FALL as we are just getting into our shorts and tanks and enjoying margaritas on the back porch… BUT, it has to be said. The things you do NOW are going to impact the business you see in the FALL. I asked in an earlier episode this month what would happen in 3-6 months if you did nothing different. My guess is that many of you wouldn’t be happy with staying stagnant. We are independent and ambitious women after all. But, if nothing changed in your business and you were right where you are now in 3 months and you’re good with that, this episode might not be for you. Chances are that’s not the case though, so I’m going to assume you’ll keep listening because I’m going to share some of the ways you can work now (within your Summer capacity) to grow and scale in the fall.
Nurture
Continuous
Management



Each step you take today carries the potential to shape your business's growth three months down the line. So embrace the butterfly effect and make every decision count. The future of your business is in your hands, and the possibilities are limitless! What are you doing today that is going to move the needle in the fall? Let me know in the review section of apple podcast or send me a message at
megan@bossladiesandbabies.com
Why not create an action plan for your profit NOW so that you can relax and enjoy your Summer with the family, not with your laptop.
I'm opening up my calendar to help you design a plan to make money while having fun with your family this Summer.

Achieving Your Goals Faster With Community

Achieving Your Goals Faster With Community

This week I am joined by Tabitha Crocker, a Membership Coach and founder of Present Profitable Mom. She’s passionate about empowering mom entrepreneurs to earn consistent, sustainable, scalable revenue doing work they love in 10 hours a week (or less!) with littles by your side! She’s obsessed with the power of membership models and community!
We are so aligned as she believe that as a Mom you shouldn’t have to choose- you can chase your little kids and BIG dreams! You can be a profitable entrepreneur AND a present mom without guilt or burnout. We chat about:

The power of community and how it helps you achieve your goals faster

The impact of positivity from finding support

The difference in finding community vs finding the right community

#1 tip to become a “present and profitable” mom yourself

Systems, routines, and strategies to be most effective in our working hours and connect with your kids each day

Why not create an action plan for your profit NOW so that you can relax and enjoy your Summer with the family, not with your laptop.
I'm opening up my calendar to help you design a plan to make money while having fun with your family this Summer.

Last week we talked about investing in your business, this week we are going to talk about how you can get a quick win by creating and sticking to a summer profit plan.

Let’s talk about a few tips to make your Summer Scaling a success!

The Ins and Outs Of Hiring a VA

The Ins and Outs Of Hiring a VA

Scaling your business isn’t a solo job! We talk a lot about outsourcing on this podcast, and today we cover how to do so in a way that feels comfortable to you! Emily Woodruff joined us to talk about outsourcing and how to set some business boundaries! Emily works with busy female entrepreneurs who wear too many hats in their own business. Entrepreneurs need to be able to offload and delegate the tasks that don’t require your expertise and time, and she has over 15 years experience in the administration world, so this really is her jam.

Key Points From This Episode: 

-When the right time to hire a V.A. is

-How to know if your V.A. is the right one for you

Business BLAB - Is Investing In Your Business Challenging or Impossible?

Business BLAB - Is Investing In Your Business Challenging or Impossible?

When you think about making a move and scaling your business, does it feel challenging or does it feel impossible? Big question here, right? The reason I ask is because often times when you are presented with an opportunity to level up, it comes with challenges. And human nature is to avoid challenges however we can. This can lead to some confusion and keep us feeling stuck. Because in an instant, when the opportunity to grow and scale the thing we are working so hard on falls before us, the challenges we can predict with the growth can make it feel impossible. 

But feeling impossible and actually being impossible are two very very different things, so today we are going to break this down! Here are some things to consider:



Commitment

The Financial Burden (PlusYour True Financial Landscape)

The Sacrifices You're Making


So I’d love to know, have you invested in your business? What is holding you back? How can I support you in this? I’m so passionate about helping mom entrepreneurs make their dreams happen, and I’m a strong believer that taking this step is a key part of the process. And I’m here to help! Let’s continue the conversation! Leave me your thoughts or questions in the review section of apple podcast or send me a message at megan@bossladiesandbabies.com

Scale Through The Summer - My Summer Profit Plan

Scale Through The Summer - My Summer Profit Plan

As we head into Summer it’s so important that we have a plan! We want to make sure we have time to spend with our kiddos, we want to enjoy the summer, and we also want to keep our business momentum and not let it fall off because we are living life. The goal is to be able to live life AND build our business. To scale back your schedule while scaling up your profit! And the best way to make this happen is by creating the dang plan! Will the plan always stick? Nope. Should we create it anyway? Yep! Is it ok to pivot the plan? 100%! 

 

 I do sort of feel like I’ve cracked the code on my Summer strategy and have a really good plan in place. I could not feel better heading into this hectic Season! And this month I'm dedicated to sharing all my secrets so you can scale through the Summer with me. Plus make the irreplaceable memories with your kids, plus plus have some time for YOU! Sound too good to be true? It's not, promise. It just takes some out of the box thinking, creative planning, and support. I've got my plan, and I'm happy to walk you through it!

Key Points From This Episode:

-Recap of creating, planning, and hosting a live Networking Event in my Community

-My attraction strategy

-How to lean on community & collars to grow this Summer

-Repurposing and how it can save you time and make you money

This is just a piece of my Summer Profit Plan and I’m going to keep sharing this month so we can scale together!

Business BLAB - Why Your Routines & Habits Matter

Business BLAB - Why Your Routines & Habits Matter

Since we are talking a lot about mental health this month, I wanted to share something that really affects mine… having a routine!!! And with any routine, it’s going to be a series of habits (good and bad) that we do over and over again. But the trick is creating a great routine, full of good habits, that serves you, your schedule, and your goals! Let’s talk about how! 

You might be thinking that you don’t have or need a routine, and I’m going to stop you right here. If you are a human, you need a routine. We thrive off of it. Even if it’s not a super structured line by line do this at this time style, implementing some type of routine is one thing I will always say you must have. In fact, you already have one… whether you realize it or not. Which is why this is so powerful. You may not think you need a routine but you’re actually sitting in a routine at this very moment that is actually making your life hearder! 

So, let’s start here…

To get started try this formula:

Track Your Good Habits

Track Your Bad Habits

List Your Desired Habits


Then, as you create your routine:

Your Schedule - Is it working for you?

How Can You Embody Your Idols

Keep It Simple


Routines have been the best and the worst parts of my life, both personal and business. How have your routines impacted you?

Why not create an action plan for your profit NOW so that you can relax and enjoy your Summer with the family, not with your laptop.

I'm opening up my calendar to help you design a plan to make money while having fun with your family this Summer.

Business BLAB - Embracing Your Identity

Business BLAB - Embracing Your Identity

Can we talk about identity for a moment here? Specifically for moms who are struggling to find theirs anyway, but then have to double down on that in business? In a world that tells us to work like we don’t have kids, be a mom like we don’t work, and do it all while looking great in a fit body with a Pinterest perfect house. I don’t want to get on a tangent here, but COME ON….First of all, let’s release all of THAT. Figuring out your identity as a human is hard enough once you become a mom. And then it changes, over and over again as your kids grow. Navigating your changing identity as a mom with a business and brand to tend to is even harder! So, today we are going to chat in some ways to make it a little bit easier! 

Your Foundation 

Lean Into Your Experiences 

Leverage Your Unique Strengths 

Create Your Personal Brand

Vulnerability 


How do you embrace your identity as a mom business owner?

Business BLAB Mompreneur Approved Resources to Scale

Being a mom is freaking awesome! It’s hard, but it’s freaking awesome! We get to be home with our kids AND grow and scale a business. What… like, do you ever just take time to sit in how amazing this is? If you’re a mom and an entrepreneur, chances are you started your business so you can spend more time at home with your babies. BUT, with more time at home with your babies also comes more time at home with your laptop, your phone, your IG, your email… literally your entire business at your fingertips with all the instant gratification and demands you can imagine. Ya feel me? And everywhere you look you’re seeing someone doing something new. Launching the next “time saving” resource, or must have “secrets to scaling”, or that next thing that you just have to do “real quick” to help you get to where you want to be in your business. It can be overwhelming, and it can make it really damn hard to stay present! So, I’ve rounded up a list of some of my favorite resources ACTUALLY make life as a mom easier! This have saved me from the rabbit hole of “one more thing” in the last few months:

How To Scale Through The Seasons of Motherhood

How To Scale Through The Seasons of Motherhood

It’s our Month Mamas! Happy May, Happy Mother’s Day, Happy MOTHER’S MONTH!! We love this time of year on the show, and I’m very excited for all the great things to come this month. Do we have big plans for Mother’s Day this year? I’m looking forward to celebrating for the first time as a mom of two. Last year I was hugely pregnant and everything was exhausting and hard. This year I’m adapting to the role of mom of two, while working really hard on growing my business, and everything is still exhausting and hard… but beautiful! I mention my business here because I want to spend some time in this episode talking about “scaling through the seasons” … something that I’ve been dedicating a lot of my focus on personally and in my business this year. Today we talk about what that means and how I do it!

Key Points From This Episode:

The importance of mental health as a mom entrepreneur

Why investing in yourself and your business is so important

How to scale back your schedule without scaling back your profit

Why not create an action plan for your profit NOW so that you can relax and enjoy your Summer with the family, not with your laptop.

What Mental Health and Entrepreneurship Have In Common

What Mental Health and Entrepreneurship Have In Common

This month we are going to be talking A LOT about our mental health…why? Because we should be anyway, but also because May is Maternal Mental Health Month. If you’ve  listened to the show you know that we have an entire mental health segment on our full length episodes, and I am a strong believer in working hard to start and keep the conversation going around mental health, alway. And, believe it or not, mental health and entrepreneurship actually impact each other more than we realize. So, today we are going to talk about it! Yes, these episodes are business focused, but let me tell you… if your mental health isn’t in a good place, your business won’t be either! 

The Connection- Think about the times in your life when you’re feeling like a total badass…. I’ll give you a second (I get it, it can be hard to give ourselves credit sometimes)... Now when you think of these times, you’re probably feeling in your flow. Creatively, with productivity, your mindset is in a place of gratitude… and when all of these things are on point, you’re in a great place to receive growth, opportunity, and money coming in from your business. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve become a little more woo these days, but I’m telling ya’, this stuff is important! 

On the other end of this, think about the times where you’re feeling like a total piece of garbage (personal)... even if you're showing up and doing all of the things, when you’re feeling down and life is really hard, you can work work work, but business is also going to feel really hard. And I can sit here and tell you this because I KNOW THIS. FOR A FACT. FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE! And it is FRUSTRATING! 

So, if your mental health is so directly attached to the health of your business, what can you do to help it? Because you know it, I know it, even your dog knows it… it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows around here all the time, no matter how hard we try. There WILL be times where we are struggling in the mental health department, and we don’t want our business to go down with us in those moments. Here’s what I’ve found to help keep things afloat when my mental health needs a life raft:

Implement Routines

Plan Your Schedule

Organization

Limit Screen Time

Find Supportive Community

Embrace Vulnerability


This is such a big topic, and I want you to know that if you are suffering, you are not alone. If you need a safe space and a listening ear, send me a message. I’m here for you! Business is hard, and when things don’t go as planned the hits can feel devastating, but I see you. I’m proud of you. You are doing enough, and you are right where you are meant to be in this moment. Keep going! You’re strong. You’ve got this!


Why not create an action plan for your profit NOW so that you can relax and enjoy your Summer with the family, not with your laptop. I'm opening up my calendar to help you design a plan to make money while having fun with your family this Summer.

Business BLAB - Strengthening Your Money Mindset

Business BLAB - Strengthening Your Money Mindset

Let’s talk about money… and specifically the things that make it hard for us to talk about. As I’m writing this, I’m looking forward to a training today inside the mastermind I’m part of from a money mindset coach. To be honest with you, money mindset and blocks is something that I struggle with on a regular basis. But, the last several months I have made a concerted effort to work through these blocks and try to get my mindset right when it comes to money. I also have spent some time exploring the money mindset of my ideal clients so that I can be empathetic and understand any objections that come up around what I have to offer. There is just so much weight that comes along with the thoughts of money, and I think it so interesting to dive in and understand where it all is coming from. So, from a major money blocks work in progress mom entrepreneur to another…. Here’s what is working for me. It’s not always perfect, I still have to actively battle with my mindset, but it’s getting me there: 

Understanding Money Blocks

Journaling 

Scarcity vs Abundance

Money Motivation


How’s your money mindset? Are you facing any blocks right now? Are you living in scarcity or abundance?

Business BLAB - DIY Financial Review

Business BLAB - DIY Financial Review

Now, I am by NO MEANS a finance girly. I loathe math, numbers are hard, and I’m the one who is thanking the lord that what our teachers use to tell us about “never having calculator in our pockets” isn’t actually the case. BUT, I do realize that in order to have a successful, sustainable, and scaling business… you need to know YOUR numbers! This time of year finances are likely top of mind with tax time + already putting a quarter of the year behind us. You likely set some financial goals at the beginning of the year, and the start of a new quarter is a really great time to circle back to that and take a pulse check. So I thought now was a great time to chat about this topic! Here is how I run my numbers for my business so that I can know what’s happening and treat my business like what it is… a real business! And again, if you’re wanting a profesh to cover this with you I’d recommend talking with a financial expert! This is just how I do things and it has worked great for me!

Information Vs Wisdom

Information Vs Wisdom

I was in a co-working session last week and the topic of information vs wisdom came up. It really landed with me and got me thinking… and I can’t believe I’m going to say this but… you can likely google a lot of what I teach. You could probably pick and piece it together with enough searching and freebies, and you might even be able to start making some money in your business. The information is out there, and many people do what I do in one form or another. But, all of that is just information. And let’s be honest, most of us are on information overload these days. How many freebies do you have sitting in your email right now that you signed up for and are just collecting dust? How many hours have you spent gooling different tips and tricks to make your business easier? Desperately searching to finally figure our the thing that you’re stuck on. The information is there… but what are you really doing with it? And how much time are you willing to sacrifice to *hopefully* crack the code? What are you going to *actually* do with all of this information that is now cluttering your inbox and your brain?
The information alone isn’t going to change how you do things because it is just that, information. In order to make a change it has to be backed with wisdom. The wisdom is how you take this information and use it in the right order so that it actually works for you. And that is something you can't google.
