Empowered Business

How do you feel about the finances of your business? Do you feel confident or intimidated? 

As entrepreneurs, we have to learn the many ins and outs of creating a successful business. With that success, however, we also need to know how to manage the financial aspects of our business. 

In this episode of the Empowered Business podcast, I sat down with Iyanna Vaughn to chat about knowing your numbers and increasing your confidence in your business finances. 

Iyanna Vaughn carefully curated the Lovely Financials Group made up of accountants and financial analysts seeking to guide each client through their financial goals in order to increase profit margin, improve cash flow, heighten financial awareness, and increase company value. 

At Lovely Financials Group, they pride themselves on making sure your company, business, or brand is organized and prepared to make and surpass financial goals of 7 figures or more.

As the owner, she strives to empower women entrepreneurs by bridging the financial awareness gap through education, leadership, and guidance.

Tune in to learn more about how to increase your financial literacy, the difference between business and personal expenses, understanding your cash flow, and more!

Have you ever felt like you couldn't trust a close female friend because of female rivalry? 

Most women have! Unfortunately, rivalry among women is a very common occurrence, but there is a shining light at the end of it. Once we are aware that this is happening, we can change it! 

Amber Tichenor is an expert when it comes to this topic, so she is joining me in this episode to break it down.

Amber Tichenor has a Ph.D. in Industrial/ Organizational (I/O) Psychology and is the founder of To Be, Coaching + Consulting®. A thought leader on the topic of women’s rivalry, Amber has 20+ years’ experience as an Organizational Change Strategy and Leadership consultant where she helped guide businesses through transformational change. 

Amber is deeply passionate about addressing the phenomenon of rivalry between women, and wrote her PhD thesis on the topic. She consults with organizations, offers speaking engagements and workshops on the importance of the phenomenon, the challenges and behaviors it presents, along with coping and recovery steps.

Amber’s goal is to promote collaboration over competition, to empower women to find their voice, leave the rivalry behind, and team up with a community of like-minded women.

Listen in as we discuss collaboration over competition, how we can stop feeling threatened by one another, and how we can start building each other up instead.

You can take content that you already have and turn it into a tripwire. Did you know that?

I'm talking to a fellow digital product strategist, Eden Fried, all about this and more topics and strategy that pertain to the digital product world.

You will learn her philosophy around tripwires, which are limited time offers, and also how she has been running a very successful Facebook ad campaign that has resulted in three thousand new purchasers.

Eden Fried ditched pant-suits and law libraries in early 2016 and traded them in for sweat pants and a laptop so she could build a business online. Ever since abandoning corporate America, Eden has successfully built a profitable online business by selling digital products. Today, she and her husband live off of passive income - the kind of income you earn while sleeping at night, out to dinner with friends, or wiping your baby’s butt cheeks. How does she do it? Well, she keeps no secrets. Eden shares her entire strategy on her website, EdenFried.com, where she teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to build that life of freedom and financial flexibility by creating and selling digital products online

Eden and I both teach other entrepreneurs how to build digital product businesses, so this episode is jam-packed with valuable information for you! I know you are going to love it!

Tune in to learn how you too can start to have financial independence by selling digital products through tripwires.

Do you know what a product ascension ladder is?

Essentially, a product ascension ladder is how you bring someone into your business, get them to know, like and trust you, and buy something from you. As they get wins from you, they move up the product ladder, and eventually, they become loyal fans.

Sounds pretty good, right?

This is what I teach in the Empowered Business Lab, and it is also what I am talking about in this episode with my guest Michelle Thomas!

Michelle joined the Empowered Business Lab and is now building a digital product ascension ladder that helps women keep their weight under control, and she does this all while working full time.

Coach Michelle is a mom of 3, grandma to 1.5 and wife. She helps women balance hormones, bust cravings, break plateaus and become the happy, healthy, active, hot, sexy woman, wife, mom and grandma they want to be - all while making food fun and taking the drama out of it! Her signature program, Become a MacroUnicorn™ helps women understand how to feed their body so that it works with them instead of fighting them for their final weight loss journey.

She has lost 100 lbs 3 times, and at 42, just as her hormones went wonky, she tackled the journey again and finally won a battle she has been fighting since she was 9 years old. Her mission is to help women win their weight loss battle for the last time because the more women that win, the more healthy children this world will have!

If you're not convinced that digital products are right for you, you need to listen to this episode about how Michelle integrated digital products into her own business and how it totally changed the game for her.

We officially had our first ever 6-figure live launch, so I am breaking down what happened during the launch in this episode!

I don't usually share exact numbers, but I feel like it is important to do in this episode because I want to debunk a lot of bad advice out there about what it takes to have a 6-figure launch.

I have been doing live launching since early 2018, so I have learned quite a bit over the years about nailing down the right program offering for my audience AND the right methods to make a profitable launch happen.

I am breaking down what we did, what I don’t recommend doing, how to remove the fear of failure, what I will be doing differently for our next launch and so much more.

This episode will not only give you insight into what goes into a 6-figure launch that ACTUALLY MAKES MONEY, but it will also inspire you to keep pushing in your own business.

If you are ready for a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to have a 6-figure launch, listen now!

How can hiring team members actually help you make more money?

I know without a doubt that I waited way too long to recruit business support. I was over-stressed and beyond burnout when I made the decision to begin building a team.

As female business owners, we often convince ourselves we can do it all and that needing assistance is a sign of weakness or disorganization. I am here to tell you that is a flat-out lie!

My guest in this episode is my very own unicorn, Hayley Rissler. She is my Operations Manager, and she takes care of all the logistics, marketing, and overall “people-ing” that keep us rocketing towards success.

Hayley joined Monica Froese with a solid entrepreneurial background, having run a successful blog and launching a business coaching course. She realized that she had the skills and talent to help someone work on their business, instead of in it, and it’s been a wonderful partnership ever since!

Tune in to hear Hayley’s story, how our relationship came to be, and more about what she does to help the business run smoothly!
