Cubicle to CEO

Get in on the magic with Hashtag Hacks! Today we’re talking about something way outside of my scope of knowledge, DESIGN. But specifically, how design impacts sales. Kathryn Jones is probably the most personable and energetic human you’ll have the pleasure of meeting, and she is the expert on a process called “Design Hacking.” Through her signature program, CF Design School, Kathryn helps thousands of students design aesthetically extraordinary funnels that are visually engineered to convert - all without coding, Photoshop, or any graphic design skills. We talk about how heartbreak inspired her to start her business, the science of how to present your story visually in a way that converts, her personal journey from “no one knows my name” to sharing the stage with giants in the industry like Tony Robbins, and why when it comes to sales, good design does not always mean pretty. Kathryn talks a mile a minute, which I personally love as someone who always listens to podcasts or voice texts on 2X or even 3X speed, so I hope you can keep up with this fast-paced, value packed conversation!

Want to know how I made over $102,000 in a 6 month time span last year? Download my 6 Figures in 6 Months Income Report at the bottom of my homepage: ellenyin.com If you’re familiar with my six figures in six months income report, today’s guest is the woman who inspired it. In early 2018, I discovered Elise Darma’s blog where she shared her income reports at the end of every month, detailing how much revenue she made in the business, where she spent her money, what her profit margins were, and how much she paid herself. I was inspired by her transparency and tired of the lack of accountability from industry gurus who made flashy claims about their earnings without revealing expenses or profits, so I decided to release my own monthly income reports from January through July of 2019. We discussed both the benefits and drawbacks of sharing your personal finances with the Internet in depth in today’s episode. For those of you who are unfamiliar with her work, Elise is an Instagram Strategist and agency owner who has collectively grown Instagram accounts to over 250,000, brokered hundreds of deals between influencers and brands, and been featured in publications such as Forbes, Brit + Co, and Entrepreneur. Listen in to hear why being an overnight success is a lie and what it’s like to be a digital nomad running a multi-six figure business, including her personal experience at the now infamous disaster, the Fyre Festival.

Now Ryan happens to be one of my trusted financial advisors as well as one of my favorite humans, and he and the team at Cashflow Tactics are on a mission to help everyone - whether you’re working a corporate job or working for yourself - become financially free in 10 years or less. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into why 97% of the financial advice you’ve been told your whole life is outdated, misleading, or downright dangerous, and how you can use your money to live a life of impact NOW instead of running the rat race of trading time for money into your 60s or 70s. We go over: -Why putting money in your IRAs or buying mutual funds isn’t really investing -How to determine how much money you actually need to retire -The three best assets you can ever invest in (hint: it’s not stocks, gold, or cryptocurrency) -How to use a tool we call the “vault” to secure your money in for better rates than any bank will give you while also leveraging your cash to go make more cash for you.

My favorite part of recording this podcast is being exposed to new and different worlds in the online space, and this week’s guest - Yan Stavisski - is introducing us to the fascinating world of travel hacking and credit hacking, the practice of leveraging credit to produce positive cashflow. Yan went from drowning in $82,000 of credit card debt just 3 years ago to running a 7 figure company by the age of 25. He did this all while traveling 47 countries and getting nearly $500,000 worth of first class flights and travel perks for free. Yan shares some really interesting insights with us today, but I want to preface our conversation by reminding you that nothing in this episode should be taken as legal financial advice from Yan or myself as a prescription for what you should do. This is simply Yan sharing his own story and his unique experiences. As with all financial strategies, there is risk and personal responsibility involved. My hope is this episode encourages you to think outside the box and familiarize yourself with the concept of how leverage can be used to grow a business (whether through credit, investing, ads, or whatever vehicle you choose). Listen in to hear the number one skill all successful entrepreneurs must develop, how to travel for free, and the common mistakes business owners make when applying for and using credit, as well the best ways to leverage it for access to capital and growth.

Book a call with a Gravy specialist to see how much money they can recover for you! http://sharegravy.com/ellen What does it look like to create a billion dollar business? Today’s guest is a serial entrepreneur who has successfully created and sold several multi-million dollar companies, but his next mission is to return $1 billion dollars back to subscription based businesses through his latest venture, Gravy. Casey Graham is the Co-Founder and CEO of Gravy, the leading failed payment recovery and customer retention solution for companies with recurring revenue. This episode probably ranks in my top 5 favorite conversations on this show, to date.

Here’s the crazy offer you guys. The team at Gravy will actually PAY YOU 10% of your failed payments, just for the opportunity to recover that money FOR YOU. So they only get paid if you get paid, and you are guaranteed to walk away with at least 10% cash back on your churn, even if they don’t recover any of your failed payments (which by the way, never happens). WHAT?! This is a 100% risk-free, no brainer opportunity for you to jump on. If you want to book a call with one of their retention specialists and see how much revenue they can recover for you, go to sharegravy.com/ellen or click the link in the show notes to book a call with one of their amazing retention specialists. We use Gravy in our business and love their team - they are awesome humans. And it’s no surprise because Casey is an incredible leader, and I was floored by the wisdom he shared in today’s conversation on how to foster a strong team culture and create a legacy with your owner’s intent, scaling from a million to a billion dollar business, and the forgotten marketing funnel for increasing your company’s bottom line. I’m just looking at the bullet point summaries right now guys, and honestly, there is too much goodness to preview here in 30 seconds.

I’m thrilled to be sharing my conversation with the inspiring Jordan Lee Dooley. Jordan is a National Bestselling Author, Speaker, Creative Business Educator, and Host of the Top Rated Podcast, SHE.

This conversation is with one of the boss ladies I respect the most and a local business trailblazer, Alicia Brown. Alicia is the co-owner of Honeycomb Salon and its sister sustainable salons & day spas in Corvallis, Oregon. Alicia is my former boss turned friend (we’ll share a bit more of that story in today’s episode), and in just 3 years of opening the doors to the first Honeycomb, now has 4 salons supporting 60 employees. In an industry where profitability evades most salon owners for years, Alicia has defied the odds by being profitable + debt free since the beginning.

You know I love bringing you the wisdom of successful entrepreneurs who have - so to speak - already made it, but I also think there is so much value in learning from entrepreneurs who are actively working in the trenches to build their business. I recently got to chat with my sweet friend, Lauren Strain, a 29 year old single mom and founder of newly launched company, “Pollumination", a collection of eco-chic candles + ceramics. Lauren actually created a few custom tumblers for me before, and besides the fact that her products and packaging are so beautifully made, she also has a huge heart for giving back. A portion of all her proceeds goes to the Pollinator Partnership in San Francisco, California to support bee conservation. Lauren shares with us the hardest parts of transitioning from a service based business as a photographer to now a products based business, why she chose to make giving back a key element of her business model from the beginning, and how to keep growing + investing back into your business, even when you’re self-funding everything and not turning a profit yet.P.S.

In this episode, I’m sharing the speech that I gave at the Spark Portland Summit in Portland, Oregon. This was my first time speaking onstage and I got to share my story of how I quit my 9-5, and went on to build my business. It was such an incredible experience and I’m so grateful to my friend, Rachel O’Rourke for the invitation to speak (check out episode 5 for my interview with her), so sit back, enjoy, and I hope you all take something away from this.
