Welcome to The Boss Lab, a podcast dedicated to female entrepreneurs covering motivation/inspiration, social media trends and tools to help run your business more effectively.
I've seen a lot of people joining multiple direct sales and network marketing companies, often joining 6-7 in a year! Most do it in hopes of finding that one golden opportunity that could help them gain the freedom that they seek; however, many don't. In today's episode, I'm discussing how to pick the best company for you and what you should know before joining in order to actually make money in the company! #directsales #networkmarketing #wahm #workathome
If you're struggling with marketing online, it's probably because you have yet to understand your purpose. I spent a lot of my time early on begging and pleading for sales from people and eventually got lucky. Now that I fully understand my purpose, I'm intentional with every thing I do and instead of begging people, I have people coming to me!
Do you have a Facebook group? Are you still trying to figure out when is the best time to post to increase your engagement and results with the algorithm? In today's episode, we'll be discussing how to get the most engagement and conversions using your Facebook group so stay tuned!
Comparison is the greatest thief of joy, life, excitement, growth and fulfillment. When beginning your journey into entrepreneurship, we're often to find successful leaders in the industry. Unfortunately, especially due to social media exposure, we get too caught up in what they're doing while neglecting what we SHOULD be doing. As long as you continue looking in someone else's direction, you will always be headed the wrong way. Look for inspiration, not imitation. Do you need this message?

You could actually be self-sabotaging your own success! Let's discuss how small business owners and entrepreneurs are alienating and running off their target market with this simple mistake!
Be careful what you post!
A common mistake new business owners and entrepreneurs make is being too excited. It's always great to be excited about your business but often times, they miss the point of sharing why others should be excited as well.

Women are strong, smart, independent, reliable and sensible but as female entrepreneurs, is there something we can learn from our male counterparts? Is there something that is holding us back from achieving our goals?
We live in a world too busy to concern themselves with your problems but quick to tell you to humble yourself.
Maybe this is just my observation, but I see a lot of people saying "be humble" when they really just want you to "be quiet."
When exactly are you supposed to speak up?
Now let me just say there is a difference between being braggadocious and showing humility. Yet, as SOON as a person cheers or shows an ounce of confidence, it’s a problem.
For the record: it is ok to celebrate your victories.
You worked for them! You’ve been through Hell for them!
You deserve it! Cheer on!
If you sacrificed every night to work on your business and finally got your first customer....
If you quit school in order to put your kids through school and now given the opportunity to go back or watch your kids graduate...
If you woke up each day, with the weight of the world on your shoulders, thought about seriously giving up and finally one day, you hear a message that says, "don't worry"...
Episode 10: The Truth About Speaking Your Mind.
Are you wondering when you should speak up in your business and let your voice be heard? The answer is NOW! With some many people copying and pasting the same posts over and over, it is crucial that you let your voice be heard. It can be one of the most terrifying experiences, yet most rewarding if you're looking to stand out from the crowd.
