Welcome to the podcast, the Peace Grows Here podcast.

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,800
Here today, I have my friend from the UK, Jeanette Spencer, joining me.

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,400
She is a brand strategist and the founder of Wolfman Entrepreneurial Network.

00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,360
And she is here to share about her journey as an entrepreneur

and give us some tips and tricks that we can take away with us to make our lives better.

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:53,120
So without any further ado, I'll invite her to come on in.

12
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:56,600
Join us, share about yourself, share your story.

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,600
Thank you, Jeanette.

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,040
Thank you so much for having me here.

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,360
I'm super excited to be here and very appreciative

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,720
for you to have invited me to be your guest today.

17
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,480
I'm going to be sharing a little bit about my story,

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,880
kind of where not so much where it started for me,

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,800
but where it started to get a little bit real for me.

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,320
What I'm hoping is that the people that are listening to this

21
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:27,240
are going to be able to take away some kind of inspiration.

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,680
So basically about three years, no, about three and a half years ago,

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,520
I decided that I was going to quit my nine to five job

24
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,880
and start my own business.

25
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,640
So a little bit of background.

26
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,960
I was working in an insurance company and I had been working in that sector

27
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,560
for about 10 years, roughly.

28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,760
And at first it was great.

29
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,800
But then, like a lot of people experience, I started to kind of feel

30
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,280
a little bit unfulfilled and like a bit confused about what it was

31
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,040
that I actually wanted for myself and for my life.

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,400
And I realized that doing that corporate job in that corporate role,

33
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:14,240
it just wasn't it wasn't lightening me up.

34
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,800
It wasn't doing anything for me.

35
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,640
And I definitely felt like it definitely was not something

36
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:23,480
that I wanted to do or that I envisioned myself doing for the rest of my life.

37
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,000
So a few years prior, I had set myself a five year,

38
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,880
a five year plan, a five year goal.

39
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,560
And that was to actually become self-employed in five years.

40
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,840
But then obviously five years come and then what do you do?

41
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,560
You get scared, right?

42
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,280
You you start saying you start thinking about all the reasons

43
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,080
why you shouldn't make that move, because it's a big it's a big deal.

44
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,360
It's a big life changing move. Right.

45
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,120
So I started to say to myself,

46
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,320
you know, you don't have enough money saved.

47
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,720
You're not ready. Maybe give it a few more years.

48
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,880
And I really started to convince myself to wait.

49
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,280
And then something happened. My dad died.

50
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,280
I lost my dad. And it was a real eye opener for me

51
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,360
in a lot of different ways.

52
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,000
So obviously, you've got the element of that situation

53
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
where you kind of feel like life is too short.

54
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
You need to kind of make your move.

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,200
But then on the other hand, I was

56
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,080
I was a underwriter in an insurance company, as I said, and

57
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,680
I had a three month notice period.

58
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,760
And when I came back before I resigned,

59
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,800
they were really not supportive.

60
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,440
And I had been there for five years.

61
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,560
And it was just one of those kind of eye opening moments for me

62
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,920
where I realized that I was literally a bum on a seat.

63
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,360
And I was just there to kind of fulfil someone else's dream. Right.

64
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,040
So I resigned and I had to work

65
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,680
the longest three month notice period of my life.

66
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,480
And I remember the end of that period was

67
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,520
the end of December.

68
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,120
And I remember that so clearly because my my mindset was

69
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,080
it's a new year coming.

70
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,320
I'm literally just going to it's so exciting.

71
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,000
I'm just going to just dive into this business.

72
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,120
Again, a little bit of background.

73
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,760
This wasn't an online business.

74
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,640
My first business was an events management agency,

75
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,800
which I did run alongside my full time job for a long time

76
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,760
before actually deciding to run it full time.

77
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,000
But anyway, so in the January, the January came.

78
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,960
In fact, it was the first of January.

79
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,760
Remember, like, it was just now.

80
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,440
And I got an email through

81
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:55,360
so near as day saying that all my stock and all my inventory

82
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,760
had been burnt in a fire and the whole place had literally gone down.

83
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,520
So, yeah.

84
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,280
So on the first of the year, just after the first of the year,

85
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,760
just after quitting my job,

86
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,480
I literally lost this business,

87
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,200
but like that I had obviously wanted to to jump straight into.

88
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,880
And it was a really, really tough time.

89
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:24,440
I got into a very low place

90
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,160
because I didn't know what I was going to do next.

91
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:34,480
And honestly, it was the support of my friends and my family

92
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,520
that kind of really helped me to get through that.

93
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,920
And I'm forever grateful to them.

94
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,480
But what ended up happening was I ended up rebuilding that business,

95
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,440
which was a blessing.

96
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,240
And I went from, you know, feeling like I was drowning

97
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,680
to actually feeling like I was thriving.

98
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,320
And that was amazing.

99
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,320
But then Covid happened.

100
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,080
And anybody in, you know, that kind of industry

101
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,400
knows that Covid hit hard.

102
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:13,000
So I had events booked, I think, two years in advance.

103
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:19,600
And I literally lost all my bookings prior to about, sorry, except about three.

104
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,840
And I ended up having to, well, I didn't have to,

105
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:26,080
but I ended up giving a lot of refunds as well.

106
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,160
Just because I just felt like it was really unfair

107
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,200
for the people that were, yeah, that were having these events.

108
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,520
And, you know, and so I did what I could do.

109
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,880
But then that left me in a very difficult situation financially.

110
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,760
So what I then had to do was pivot.

111
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,440
I had to find another way to generate income.

112
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,480
And when I thought about what I could do, I kind of went back to

113
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,800
what is it that people come to me for?

114
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,760
What is it that I'm really good at?

115
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,760
What do I kind of thrive speaking about and doing?

116
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:16,160
And where I had been running this events business for almost 10 years prior,

117
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,760
a lot of my friends and family would always come to me for business advice.

118
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,960
So naturally, I kind of went into that direction

119
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,640
and it took a few different shapes in the beginning

120
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,640
before I actually got it to what it is today,

121
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,960
which is the Women's Entrepreneurial Network.

122
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:42,200
But it's literally been incredible because I really do believe

123
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,920
that you get kind of pushed into the direction that you're supposed to be in.

124
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,000
And, you know, when you start something that doesn't align,

125
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,360
because in all honesty, I know for sure I was supposed to be an entrepreneur,

126
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,440
I was supposed to be self-employed, but first business attempt

127
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,720
wasn't in full alignment with me and who I am.

128
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:14,840
And it's just incredible the way that you kind of get pushed into your calling.

129
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,960
And I really do believe that.

130
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,720
So, yeah, so WEN was born

131
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:28,120
and I've been running WEN for about three years now.

132
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,400
Yeah, about just coming up to three years now.

133
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,920
And I absolutely love it.

134
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,200
I love what it stands for, what it's about.

135
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,920
And that's kind of a very short, short background story of where I'm coming from.

136
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,880
Mm hmm. Thank you so much.

137
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,920
And oh, my God, so much has happened.

138
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,360
There's fire in there somewhere. What?

139
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:02,160
That's yeah, you live through so many sounds like transformations.

140
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,320
And some of them you chose.

141
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Some of them chose you, sounds like to me.

142
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,160
And here we are three years down the line.

143
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:19,160
After that pivot that you did towards something that been already speaking to you

144
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,800
in all of the advice that you gave to other people along the way.

145
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,120
And now here you are doing it in earnest,

146
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,680
speaking to female entrepreneurs and helping them out.

147
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:32,760
I'm one of them, by the way.

148
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,320
Definitely love reading your posts online.

149
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,680
Oh, thank you. Yeah, no, it's great.

150
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:42,120
I, as I said earlier, I do believe that, you know, we go through

151
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,600
things for a reason to kind of pull us or to push us in the right direction.

152
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,400
And I've I've learned a lot over the past three years.

153
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,200
And it's been very character building.

154
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:05,840
And yeah, like I probably wouldn't have my past experience any other way,

155
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,880
just because it's kind of got me to this point that I am at now.

156
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,440
And for that, I feel very grateful.

157
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Mm hmm.

158
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,760
I'm just thinking about ladies entrepreneurs out there

159
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,840
who's listening that and to that and thinking, oh, I'm going through

160
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,400
a hard moment right now, but it is character building after all.

161
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,480
Maybe that I can look back at Jeanette is doing right now

162
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,480
and say that it was a good for me, ultimately.

163
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,960
Yeah, absolutely.

164
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,920
I think generally with life, you have to learn to take the highs

165
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,720
with the lows, the good with the bad and just trust that, you know,

166
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,600
things are kind of aligning in the right way for you.

167
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:55,280
I think there are a lot of people that do start on the road of entrepreneurship

168
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,720
and it doesn't go the way that they anticipate going.

169
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,360
And so they kind of say, OK, maybe this is not for me

170
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,520
or maybe I should be doing something else.

171
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,680
But, you know, if you take anything away today, it's just keep persevering

172
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:14,600
because you will be pushed into the direction that you're supposed to be in.

173
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,800
And if it's something that you want and if it's something

174
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,320
that you feel passionate about, then.

175
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,160
You know, you have to keep going through those highs and lows

176
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,320
and get to where you're trying to get to.

177
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,360
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.

178
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,360
Definitely there are highs and there are lows.

179
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,360
And when there are lows, you're like, oh, why am I doing this?

180
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,960
When there are highs, you're like, yay, this is it.

181
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,160
This is a thing for me.

182
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:48,200
But the whole point is to be able to understand that both of those moments,

183
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,280
times and business are inevitable.

184
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:58,440
And I'm curious about what is it about you that you can recognize

185
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,680
and acknowledge and perhaps even appreciate that allows you to have

186
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:09,280
this kind of a mindset of persevering and keep pushing and until until it works

187
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,640
and embracing the highs and lows?

188
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,040
Well, I feel like I've done what I've been trying to do a lot of work

189
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,640
over the past, say, 15 years, in fact.

190
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,600
And this is obviously on mindset and this is kind of trying to transition

191
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,240
my mind from being glass half empty to glass half full.

192
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Just appreciating that life is life and life is always going to life on you.

193
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:41,400
So at the end of the day, you have to just appreciate

194
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,600
when you're going through something, you can't let that consume

195
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,440
how you see things and what you do going forward.

196
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,160
One thing that I kind of trained myself to do over the years

197
00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:00,080
is when I'm kind of in a place where I feel a little bit low

198
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,760
or a little bit like, you know, things are not where I want them to be

199
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,240
or, you know, something's not quite right.

200
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:13,400
What I do is I give myself a moment to sit in that, but not very long.

201
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:20,440
So my thing is one to two days of self-pity is more than enough.

202
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,800
And then we need to keep it moving.

203
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,760
We need to keep it moving after that.

204
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,280
So the trick is just to say, OK, I've got a choice here.

205
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:34,960
I can either sit here and my feelings or I can decide to move past this

206
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,680
and try and kind of get past what I'm going through

207
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:41,640
and hopefully get to something a little bit better.

208
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,080
And I would always choose the latter.

209
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Yeah, that makes sense.

210
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,480
It's a middle path, so to say.

211
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:57,120
You are acknowledging your feelings, you're not just going right by them,

212
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,040
trying to perhaps forget about their existence and go right back in it,

213
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,680
like a lot of us do, we try to bypass difficult emotions as they come up

214
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:11,000
because, you know, they are not so comfortable to deal with.

215
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,280
But at the same time, if you choose to approach them and embrace them,

216
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,760
just make sure that you don't stay for too long.

217
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,560
Exactly, exactly, exactly.

218
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,720
And that's kind of the advice I'd give on that note.

219
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,280
Yeah, definitely.

220
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,320
Bookmarking that one right there for a later use.

221
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,000
Could you share a little bit more about, all right, so here you go.

222
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,120
You're doing this.

223
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,520
You're a brand strategist.

224
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,880
You have a community that you're working with.

225
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,360
What are you offering at this very moment?

226
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,080
How are you supporting people?

227
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,760
What is it that you do?

228
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:59,600
Sure, so WEN is an online support and resource hub

229
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,440
for aspiring and established entrepreneurs in the online business space.

230
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,600
And what we do is we offer a membership where you can come in,

231
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,360
get access to trainings, resources and support from myself

232
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,960
to help you launch or grow or launch and grow your business.

233
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:27,480
I also provide women with courses, digital products, a mentorship, coaching.

234
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:33,320
So basically, WN is kind of an all-round support hub

235
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,320
for women that want to grow an online business.

236
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,200
Mm-hmm, yeah, you have a lot going on there, it sounds like.

237
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,880
Yeah, for sure, very busy.

238
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,360
Mm-hmm, and if you would give us a bit more of an insight look

239
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,040
into what your community is like on a daily basis,

240
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:01,480
is it, what is the platform for you guys, your ladies, I guess, meeting on?

241
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,800
Do you have breakout rooms?

242
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,040
Do you network?

243
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,160
What does that look like a day from being in your community?

244
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,920
So, all right, so on the technical side,

245
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,280
we have a four-stage roadmap that we provide,

246
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,120
which basically takes you through launching your business,

247
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,880
growing your online presence,

248
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,120
kind of growing your business generally,

249
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,600
building your email list, that kind of stuff.

250
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:35,560
And separate to that, we have something which is called a template vault,

251
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,480
which is our resource centre.

252
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,080
And that's basically like a load of template,

253
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,080
there's over 100 templates that we offer to our members,

254
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,960
where they can literally just plug and play things into their business.

255
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,600
So, it's things like social media templates from Canva,

256
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,240
sales page templates, webinars, slide deck templates,

257
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:03,360
business plans, marketing plans, trackers, statistic sheets.

258
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,280
So, there's loads and loads of different things in there.

259
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,640
So, that's a huge resource that we offer our members,

260
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,880
which is actually one of the most popular things about our membership.

261
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,240
But we also do a weekly event.

262
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,640
So, one week, we have a Q&A session,

263
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,040
where members can, if they're feeling stuck about something,

264
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:29,080
they can come to that session, ask their questions, get some answers,

265
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,840
connect with some of the other ladies as well.

266
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,320
We also have a goal-setting and accountability workshop.

267
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:40,040
Again, this is an opportunity for us to come together and just be intentional

268
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:46,240
about what it is that we want to get done for that month.

269
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:52,000
And again, this is a safe space where women can come in, ask questions,

270
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,040
and just be accountable for themselves and for each other.

271
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,120
There's also a networking event that we host at the end of the month.

272
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,520
We have a book club.

273
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,680
Honestly, it's this kind of full-on place,

274
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:15,040
where we offer a lot of value of resources, of support to our members.

275
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,720
And then, not forgetting our forum, we have a forum.

276
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,200
So, if you do have a question and you can't make any of the live sessions,

277
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,520
you can jot a question in the forum and that will get answered for you.

278
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,760
And that's also a place where you can socialise with other women as well.

279
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:39,680
So, yeah, that's pretty much the main features of the membership.

280
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:46,280
Mm-hmm. Sounds like you are one step for a lot of things.

281
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,200
Yeah, I do try to be...

282
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,280
I kind of envisioned it as this space where...

283
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,240
I mean, when I started out online, it was...

284
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,960
Although I did have experience as a business owner, it was very different.

285
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:07,160
And I kind of wished I had certain resources and that support,

286
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,080
people to go to in a diverse environment.

287
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:16,440
And so, that's what I was kind of aiming to create for myself and for my members.

288
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,720
Yeah.

289
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,400
Mm-hmm. Right.

290
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,080
Yeah, you're making me think of the book that I'm writing right now, actually.

291
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,560
I'm writing it because I haven't found a book on this topic that I like.

292
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,800
So, I'm like, I'm gonna write my own.

293
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,160
And it's gonna be like, because I want it to be a certain way.

294
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,320
Sounds like you were coming from a similar place.

295
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,480
Yeah, for sure. Definitely.

296
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,920
You gotta do that sometimes.

297
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,400
You know, if what you want is not out there, then you've got to create it yourself.

298
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:49,000
Yeah. This is what it's about.

299
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:59,000
Yeah, and you are also the one who is in it, you know, really invested.

300
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,400
So, you better like what you're doing and do it for yourself too.

301
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,000
Absolutely.

302
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,480
But I'd say that generally, running a business, I feel like it's very important that

303
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,120
you do enjoy what you're doing.

304
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:16,120
And that's not saying that you're not gonna have days or maybe weeks

305
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:20,040
where you kind of question yourself in the direction.

306
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,440
But just overall, it should feel good to you.

307
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:30,440
It should feel in alignment.

308
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,640
Yeah, that's for sure.

309
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:40,920
I'm curious about how you are juggling all of the offers that I heard.

310
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,880
Maybe I'm missing the studio.

311
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,000
It sounded like you also have one-on-one coaching going on that you coach people,

312
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,880
you guide them one-on-one.

313
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,800
I just wonder how you make it all work.

314
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,920
The membership, the one-on-one coaching and what else you are offering.

315
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:00,840
Sure.

316
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,360
One of the amazing things about running your own business

317
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:08,680
is that you do things how you want to do them.

318
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,920
There's no one telling you that you have to do this or you have to do that.

319
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,760
Basically, I don't take on a lot of coaching clients,

320
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,480
mainly because I thrive more in a one-to-many environment.

321
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:29,160
So, although I do love to offer that kind of one-to-one mentorship and coaching,

322
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:35,080
I'm very, very picky and very choosy about who and when I do that for.

323
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,440
So, that's kind of how that gets handled.

324
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,080
In terms of the membership, again, because it's by my design,

325
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,400
I create it in a way that works for me.

326
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,560
So, I mentioned earlier that we do a live session once a week.

327
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,040
The courses and the resources and the trainings,

328
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:59,400
most of that is just in there for you to view or watch

329
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,520
or get involved with whenever you want to.

330
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,440
So, that's not really something that I'm having to do on a weekly or daily basis.

331
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,200
It's kind of say it and forget it a little bit.

332
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,040
And then I will just go in and update that content every now and then.

333
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,080
And the same for the digital products, to be fair,

334
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,600
and the same for the courses.

335
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,640
As you know, when you do a course, you do your launch

336
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,200
and it takes a lot of energy to begin with,

337
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:31,320
but then you kind of get it to a stage where it requires a lot less work from you.

338
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,560
And so, it just kind of works.

339
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,480
And Rome wasn't built in a day.

340
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:43,080
I mean, I've only started to do it once a week.

341
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,400
I only started this past maybe six months working a little bit less

342
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:55,320
because for the lead up to six months ago, I was going in really hard.

343
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:01,160
And I was working a lot of hours and I experienced burnout.

344
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,240
And yeah, it literally just came...

345
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,200
It was a decision that I made where I just knew

346
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:15,720
I had to kind of step back a little bit and just find something that works for me.

347
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,400
And this is what I think as entrepreneurs,

348
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,080
we have this thing where we kind of always want to over-deliver.

349
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:28,040
And we always want to kind of just provide the best,

350
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,400
the best service, the best experience for our customers.

351
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,640
And we kind of forget ourselves sometimes.

352
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,400
And it just kind of took me just going,

353
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,160
do you know what, this is my business.

354
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:45,720
I can run this how I want to run this and still provide value to my customers.

355
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,240
So, yeah.

356
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:55,960
Yeah, I wish all entrepreneurs eventually come to that place

357
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,360
of living and knowing that, allowing them to find their own rhythm

358
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,520
because burnout and overworking is a thing.

359
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:12,920
As much as we like to say that, oh, we're all about self-care and et cetera,

360
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,240
doing it in more of a flowy way, when you actually get down to it,

361
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,640
like in my experience, there's a lot to do at all times.

362
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,480
And that's not going to change.

363
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,920
You just have to learn to make it work for you.

364
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,480
Right. Yeah, definitely.

365
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:40,280
Okay. Maybe we could transition to talking about more about those tips and tricks

366
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:46,200
and any other kind of advice, maybe in regards to that particular how to weather

367
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:52,520
through all the parts of intense labor that comes with running your business

368
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,920
or some other tips and tricks that you want to share

369
00:24:54,920 --> 00:25:01,080
so our listeners can take away them with them into their life.

370
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:09,640
Oh, okay. So, I'm going to share a couple of tips that have helped me.

371
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,920
So, the first self-care tips.

372
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,800
So, the first one is, and we have definitely touched on this throughout this podcast,

373
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:24,040
but the first one is to rest when you need to and to not feel guilty.

374
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,640
And just take that time off and realize that

375
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,360
just take that time off and realize that it's okay.

376
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:39,000
And we all have to be able to step away from our business.

377
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,400
If you step away, it doesn't mean it's not going to happen

378
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,760
or that it's necessarily going to take that much longer for you,

379
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:52,600
but you really have to prioritize your mental health and your physical health.

380
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,520
Yeah, I definitely would say rest when you need to.

381
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,080
And again, don't feel guilty for doing that.

382
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:08,680
So, my second tip would be to get in the habit of saying no.

383
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,800
So, this one is, I think, one that a lot of women,

384
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,240
like a lot of women that I speak to,

385
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,800
a lot of women in my membership struggle with

386
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,800
and something that I struggle with too.

387
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,000
And it's that when you're kind of a people pleaser

388
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,440
and you kind of just always want to help and do for people.

389
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,440
Sometimes you take on a bit more than you can chew

390
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,760
and that's your own detriment.

391
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:39,560
So, I think my advice would be get into the habit of saying no.

392
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,080
Be able to say no to anything that you feel doesn't align

393
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,040
with your business goals or with who you are as a person.

394
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,600
My third tip is to just give yourself time and grace.

395
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,560
When things are not going as planned

396
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,280
or if they're not happening quickly enough,

397
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,160
just realize that you're not failing.

398
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,200
You're actually learning, you're growing, you're developing,

399
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:09,160
and you're developing as both a person and as a business owner.

400
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,760
So, give yourself grace.

401
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,600
Don't be hard on yourself.

402
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,480
I know that we are so hard on ourselves.

403
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,040
We are so hard on ourselves, especially as women entrepreneurs.

404
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,080
Remember that nothing happens overnight.

405
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,720
So, really enjoy the journey and always just give yourself

406
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:28,840
that little bit of grace.

407
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,120
Yeah, and then I guess the last thing I would say is always ask for help.

408
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,000
Don't be afraid to ask for help.

409
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,760
Ask for help when you need it.

410
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,680
You don't have to do everything on your own.

411
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,040
You're going to be more productive not doing everything on your own.

412
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,040
So, don't be afraid to ask for help yet.

413
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,320
Thank you so much.

414
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,040
I love how I actually wrote them down for myself right now as well.

415
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,320
I paired them in my mind.

416
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:07,160
Saying no, it kind of goes well together with asking for help as well.

417
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,480
You're saying no to one thing, to something,

418
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,760
to something, and then you then bring more support in.

419
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,360
You are free and welcome to do both of those things because ultimately,

420
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:23,400
we all need to find our sweet spot how much we can do.

421
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,720
And saying no and asking for help really helps to do that.

422
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:31,720
It really does.

423
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,720
It really does.

424
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:40,200
You have to be, I think, very conscious of how and where you kind of put your time and energy.

425
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:46,840
So, you have to be able to say no to make sure that you're putting those things in the right places.

426
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:48,940
Right.

427
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,080
Yeah, because every time we say no, we say yes to something else.

428
00:28:53,080 --> 00:29:00,280
We can not say yes to something that is really important unless we say no to something else.

429
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,160
I think that tends to happen a lot.

430
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:08,520
And just in terms of time and resources, allocation, everything is accounted for.

431
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:09,400
Is accounted for.

432
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,480
Yeah, absolutely.

433
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:12,760
Absolutely.

434
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:21,400
And thank you so much for reminding about giving ourselves grace and resting and not feeling guilty

435
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:21,960
about that.

436
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:28,920
Giving ourselves grace, that's something I learned from actually a lady.

437
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:35,160
She's also brand strategist that I work with just at the very beginning of my entrepreneurial journey

438
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:41,560
and that she was repeating over and over to us, over and over, give yourself grace.

439
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:49,560
Every time I get stuck over, I don't know, something difficult and I'm like,

440
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,600
Yelena, just give yourself some grace, just breathe.

441
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:54,140
Absolutely.

442
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:56,680
You'll be okay.

443
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:58,760
It will.

444
00:29:58,760 --> 00:29:59,720
It usually is.

445
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,560
Yeah, I love that outlook.

446
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,040
Yes, thank you so much for those tips.

447
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:12,520
I feel like they're good for any entrepreneur, regardless of what stage they're on

448
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,680
in their development, early or later on.

449
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,880
And now maybe you could share where can we find you?

450
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,640
How can we send you a message?

451
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,360
What should we ask about when we want to look into the membership that you're running?

452
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,600
And that'll be it for now.

453
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:36,680
Oh, so everything that I mentioned today can be found on the website.

454
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,440
So the web address is www.thewomensentrepreneurialnetwork.com.

455
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,200
And I know that is a bit of a mouthful.

456
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:47,720
I'll put it in notes.

457
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,120
Okay, that's awesome.

458
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:50,920
That's awesome.

459
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,960
But yeah, I'm also on Instagram.

460
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,320
There's no that it's Women's Entrepreneurial Network.

461
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,600

Thank you.

Have a beautiful rest of your day, rest of your evening.

482
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,880
Me too.

483
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,440
Bye everyone.

484
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:27,000
I'll see you.

485
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:53,080
Thank you.
