Not So Wimpy Entrepreneur Podcast

It might sound counterintuitive, but did you know that one of the best things you can do for your business is to step aside and take a break?

In this episode I had the honor of chatting with my good friend Whitney McNeill from Messenger of Spirit.

Whitney shared about how taking breaks can lead to greater sales and creativity.

My favorite takeaway was that working longer hours and hustling to grow your business doesn’t earn you a badge of honor. So powerful!

Every busy entrepreneur needs to listen to this episode.

Investing in your business can be so scary! I literally had a meltdown about investing $10 in clip art during my first year in business. This fear of spending money on the business continued well into my business.

Everyone is trying to sell you something, but what makes sense? What brings you the biggest return on investment? In this episode we are discussing the areas you need to invest in and what to consider when spending money in each of these areas.

1. Ads

Are you tired of writing weekly emails that nobody reads?

Or are you scared to write weekly emails because you don’t know what to write about?

My guest, Bobby Klinck is a lawyer turned entrepreneur. He started his business to help entrepreneurs with the legal stuff, but he quickly found that he had a hidden talent. He is an amazing copywriter! (And he’s extremely humble, which you’ll hear all about!)

Bobby is teaching us how he writes weekly emails that his audience is excited to open. Heck, you might even say that his audience is addicted to reading the emails that he sends!

You will definitely want to listen to the entire episode because it is full of insightful tips and examples, but here are some of my favorite tips from Bobby:

• If you don’t have fun writing your emails, your audience won’t have fun reading them.
• Email isn’t about sharing a summary of your blog post or podcast.
• Sharing personal stories helps your audience to connect to you. These stories don’t have to have anything to do with business.
• Your email should be 2/3 story and 1/3 a call to action to your content.
• You know you are hitting a chord when your readers respond back saying, “I never respond to these but…”
• The emails that your audience likes the most also have the most negative responses. “Love me or hate me. There is no money in the middle.”
• You should be celebrating the unsubscribes. The only way you can avoid unsubscribes is to not send emails at all.

After hearing about emails with subjects like “I don’t like Sweet Baby Jesus” and “I love you more than Dick’s,” you are going to be inspired to draft emails that your audience will be addicted to!

Who am I to be doing this?

Why would anyone want to buy from me?

Everyone else has more to offer than I do.

Have you ever had these feelings about your business and what you offer to your audience?

You probably have. Studies show that about 70% of people have battled with Imposter Syndrome.

Imposter Syndrome is the feeling that you are not good enough even though there is evidence to the contrary.

There are countless stories of professional athletes, singers, actors and authors who have struggled with this mindset issue even after making it big in their industry.

In this episode, I am sharing six strategies that will help you to kick Imposter Syndrome to the curb!

1. Focus on what your audience needs and feels.
2. Unfollow some competition.
3. Call your accountability partner.
4. List exactly who you are.
5. Keep positive reviews in an album on your phone.
6. Have a mantra that you say to yourself.

What is your story? Why did you create your business? How did you get to the place where you are right now? This is called a Founder’s Story.

Why in the world should you listen to what I have to say on this podcast? Why should you trust me as a teacher and coach?

In this episode I am sharing my Founder’s Story. It is the first step in answering those questions.

The Founder’s Story helps our audience to see where we have come from and why we are passionate about what we do. It helps to build a relationship with our customers and makes our business more memorable. Customers will often pay more for a resource because they feel a connection to the business.

We have to tell our stories!

I am telling you the story about how I became a 7-figure online business owner. And the crazy thing is that it all starts with a Beanie Baby…
