Every lesson, tip, and strategy I’ve learned from my first year with my CEO.

As an entrepreneur, I completely understand that your business is your baby, and you've put in a ton of hard work to build it from scratch. So, the thought of handing over some of your responsibilities and bringing in a CEO can be pretty nerve-racking. But trust me, if you want to make a big impact on the world (which I know you do), you have to let others in and delegate those larger leadership roles! 
That's why I want to share with you all the lessons, tips, and strategies I've learned from my first-year with Jaws, my fabulous CEO. Now, before you think hiring a CEO is years away from where you are now, think again! Whether you're just starting out or want to make the leap to the next level, this conversation is for you. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – hiring is one of the best decisions you can make for your business! 
I don't believe there's any special prize for doing everything by yourself – it’s okay to ask for help. I promise you'll get to where you want to go so much faster with the right support! Just imagine the possibilities when you're free to shine in your zone of genius while your CEO handles the nitty-gritty. 

Today, you’ll hear about: 

3:43: What is an integrator? 

4:48: Being mindful of codependency to avoid emotional distractions

9:08: How to get super clear on the roles and responsibilities for you and your CEO

13:22: Why you have to take a backseat, be a mentor, and let go of your ego 

16:11: Tips for developing a healthy relationship with your CEO

21:03: The importance of regular and positive communication 



Listen in for all you need to know about making that big hire. Then, stand back and watch your business take off!

#645: How To Message Your Digital Product Or Service To Instantly Sell

Here’s why there’s always enough room for you in a saturated market.

As an entrepreneur, I bet you've heard about market saturation a million times. Well, we’re talking about it some more today, BUT we’re focusing on reframing your emotions and feelings around it. Because trust me sweet friend, with the right mindset, you can succeed in any market, no matter how saturated it may seem!

So, why am I talking about this? I see many hopeful students in Digital Course Academy who hit the brakes because they feel like the market is just too crowded for them. But, let me tell you, that's simply not true – and I have proof! 

When I started as a social media manager nearly 15 years ago, it felt like every other person I talked to was doing the exact same thing as me. But, I didn't let the noise of oversaturation get to me, and I was able to grow the business I have today. And I know you can do it too!

In this episode, I’m diving into: 

3:44: Questions to ask yourself that challenge the idea that the market is too saturated 


5:24: Math that proves making sales is all about honing your marketing skills 


12:20: Tips for embracing what makes you unique and attracting your ideal audience 


15:23: How I focus on my niche rather than worry about a saturated market 

19:14: Reminders to help you break free from this false narrative


Listen in and kick off your dream business. Remember, the market may be saturated, but your uniqueness and what you bring to the table are just waiting to shine through!
