23 Finding your niche

 

Reidentification at any age is hard. But for those of us in our 50s and beyond, your regret can sometimes stop you from becoming your best possible self.



Have you ever felt this way?



However, there are those rare times when someone walks into your life and reminds you that it's never too late to tap into your zone of genius.



My client, Andrea Daniels, CEO of Brightside Referrals, found her lane over 12 years ago and has been tapping into her niche ever since.



In this week's episode, we sat down and talked about how asking for a little help (from me) changed her perspective and why there is no better time than now (in her 50s) to scale and grow her business.



As a senior care placement specialist, she will walk you through the process and demystifies what senior living actually is. Her job as a problem solver is to look for ways to find solutions for the next phase of one's life.

 

You will hear how she and I collaborated in a creative way to take her business to the next...

021 How to discover your inner voice

 

As an entrepreneur and business builder, it's not uncommon to lose your voice.

 

Do you struggle with telling your story, sharing your narrative, or explaining what you do and who you help?

 

Developing your core message at any age is difficult, let alone in your 50s. But, when you are able to tap into your purpose, the storytelling gets a little bit easier.


In this week's episode of the podcast, I am chatting with Zafira Rajan; a narrative brand strategist and storytelling guru. As a personality-driven copywriter, she helps her clients find their voice and uncover their creativity through the writing process.

She teaches that sharing the quirky stuff matters. And in doing so, one is able to get more vulnerable in sharing the stuff that makes them extraordinary and unique.

 

By the end of this interview, my hope is that you will have a few more tools in your toolbox to unblock your voice and start a righting ritual that will reclaim your creativity.

 

Here are a...

020 How to build your own recipe to success

 

Do you remember the game, follow the leader?

 

I can almost see my 7-year-old self, marching in a line, following every move that the "leader" was telling me to do.


When I started to scale my business and add digital products, group experiences, and outside opportunities, I spent a lot of time listening and following those that have done it before me.

 

Because they had been financially successful( or so they say), I thought that they had all the answers. The truth is, I already had all the answers inside of me but didn't see them or have the confidence to believe them. It took me a while to follow my gut and when I did, that's when everything shifted.

 

I am privileged to be able to talk to lots of people who are either simply thinking about an idea, expanding what they already have, or starting from scratch and I have learned, that there is no one formula, blueprint, or recipe for how one gets to where they want to go.

 

In this week's podcast episode, I will...

019 How to see the bigger picture with Shelley Levy

 

Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur?

 

Most of you have more than enough talent and resources to build your business, but what holds you up, is where and how to begin.

 

In this week's podcast episode, Shelley Levy takes the seat in our client spotlight. She is an artist who had an amazing journey painting her path to success.


As a dear friend and client, Shelley and I worked together to cast a wider and bigger vision. As someone who was teaching art, both privately and in groups, I showed her how she could scale that knowledge.

 

The truth, as a team of one, her earning capacity has a ceiling on it. But in our strategy sessions, I helped her reframe her mindset to see what is possible.


Because she was open and ready to grow, in a very short amount of time, together, we built a new framework for her website, outlined several digital courses that will be launched this year, crafted a new marketing strategy, and most importantly, elevated her confidence to...

017 Spark Your Business Using Pinterest w/Sandy Park

 

Want to know a fun fact?

Back in the day, I was a food blogger. That was where I learned how to use digital media. It was a trial-by-error kind of thing, but because I have always been super curious, I was eager to discover and understand how this world worked.

 

Being a trailblazer is a fun trail to be on. And because of that, I was a beta tester for both Instagram and Pinterest. So much has changed since then. But one thing we know for sure is that social media (love it or hate it), it's not going anywhere.

In the beginning, as a food blogger, Pinterest was a great vehicle to build community, drive traffic to my blog and recipes, as well as be inspired by all the amazing content and information that that platform shared.

 

As I pivoted more into consulting and showing others how they could not only strategize, but monetize their gifts, talents, and expertise, I used Pinterest less and less.

 

My identity was dormant and in Q4 of 2022, I wanted to change that....

016 How To Avoid Burnout - 5 TIPS to Release The Inner Bully

 

 

Most people today work 24/7 without even realizing it.

As a creative and visionary, if you are not working 80+ hours a week, I can bet it is something very close to that. This is exactly why so many of you are experiencing burnout.

 

I have a client who knew she was on the brink of exhaustion and I truly do feel she got to me just in the knick of time. Her schedule is crazy, but what's worse is that she does not have a clear path to her systems and because of that she's flying by the seat of her pants.

 

That's no way to live.

 

Right now, I am forcing her to take a small step back and embrace a little pause. It's in those small moments when you can truly prioritize what's important. It's there that one finds balance.

And that's the key to avoiding burnout.

In this episode, I share 5 key tips that will help you stay on track, reach those milestones and goals, and hopefully eliminate the negative self-talk trap. It's hard to do, I know, but it can be done.

015 The Art Of Redesigning Your To-Do List

 

Do you have a lot of items on your to-do list?

One of the most effective ways of being productive and staying organized is by systematizing your tasks and to-do list. My friend and client, Laurey, used to have a 7-page (back and front) bible of notes until I helped her redesign it.

 

In today's episode, Laurey Bennett-Levy is our client spotlight. She's an artist, philanthropist, mentor, and all-around amazing human. Working together over the past 7 years, I have seen both the highs and lows of growing her artistic career.


During our conversation, Laurey shares how her life and career changed over the years and how each phase has led her to reignite her passion for creating art. But being an artist is not her only strength.

 

She knows how to bring people together and because of her generous spirit, she shares her knowledge and expertise in her 300+ member community. She also talks candidly about how she built a business in her 50s.

 

Here are a few key takeaways.
