Yuh Cud Talk Chalk Episode 6 - Imposter Syndrome In Entrepreneurship

Have you ever felt like the world will see right through your success? Like you didn't deserve to be where you were? Many entrepreneurs battle this daily and we wanted to talk about this mental health topic Imposter Syndrome.  

To guide us through this syndrome and break it right down for us is our guest Janelle Chase Mayers, a mental health consultant, creative systemic therapist and grief recovery specialist who is committed to bringing awareness to the topic mental health & optimal human performance.

 Janelle left a few tips for the YCTC fam: 

 1. Know your mental health support team. Choose 5 people who have stable mental health.

 2.Stay In The Present Studying the past is a precursor to extreme regrets and studying the future is a remedy for high functioning anxiety.  

 3.Understand Your Gift  Understand that your gift is unique. Whatever you bring to the table, comes from knowledge mixed up with your values and beliefs.  

4.It's always a new experience the first time you try

5.The words you choose to describe you are the words you believe about yourself.

Yuh Cud Talk Chalk Episode 5 - The Importance of Social Media

Yuh Cud Talk Chalk Episode 5 - The Importance of Social Media

Instagram, Facebook, YouTube,TicTok....so many platforms. This episode speaks to the Importance of Social Media.

Why is social media important?

  • Increase brand awareness

Social media platforms are great for finding new businesses they’re not only used to connect with businesses they already know. Great to get you business in the eyes of you ideal customer.

  • Generate leads

Social media is a great low commitment way for your potential customer to express interest in what your business has to offer.

  • Boost sales

No matter what you sell...social media can help you sell it. We’ve seen the evolution of social media platforms over the years and it has become increasingly important for product search and e-commerce.

  • Build partnerships

Word of mouth is a hell of a thing and can do wonders for your business. Partnering with a popular brand with a large following is a great method of boosting word of mouth and building awareness.

  • Customer & Audience Engagement

Social media networks give you a direct platform to interact with your customers, unlike traditional media that’s one way social media is two way. If you want your customers to be engaged you need to be engaged too. Respond to messages and comments and stay as active as possible.

  • Learn more about your customers

Social media generates tons of data about your ideal customer in real time and that data can be used to make smarter decisions about your business. Most major platforms offer analytics that provide demographic info about the people interacting with your account. You can use this data to better tailor your strategy to communicate with your real audience.

So remember, you need social media to:

•Increase brand awareness

•Generate leads

•Boost sales

•Build partnerships

•Engage with your audience and customer

•Learn more about your customer

Embrace social media its a great tool to make strides in business!!

Yuh Cud Talk Chalk Episode 4 - Managing Finances As An Entrepreneur

Yuh Cud Talk Chalk Episode 4 - Managing Finances As An Entrepreneur

Let's talk money!! We interviewed Melinda Belle Founder & Managing Director of Astrape Finance Inc, a company with a mission of being the leading financial education company, providing resources on personal and business financial management in the Caribbean.

Believing that businesses are often birthed out of the business owners' personal experience, Melinda used her mistakes, knowledge and experience to help others make sound decisions with their money. 

Key points Melinda left with the YCTC Fam:-

Do Not Use Your Personal Account 

Open a business account for all business related funds. This step avoids you using business money for personal spending.

Identify Your Income Stream

Know how your company is making money.

Track Your Money & Company Performance 

This allows you to make informed decisions about your company and its possible expansion 

Projections! Projections! Projections!

Projecting gives you data to see what money your business is making and has the potential to make in the future
