In This Episode, You Will Learn About: Sarah's favorite quote by Winston Churchill "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." The decision to go fulltime in a hew idea, with a vision you cannot see, is the confidence to take the leap. Her product's early days decision about whether to set up her own factory or outsource the production. The ways to figure out the scalable version of your first draft (product/service). Hiring: How her partner was always worried about whether you brought the best people to the seats they created at the table. She realized you just need seats and a table first. Build your table first, pull up some chairs, and have people to work with before if you think they are the best people. Mistake: Didn't reach out fast enough to the community that was going to become her core market - took longer to evolve because she didn't work more quickly or more scrappy. Always start with every single person you work with and share with them an expectations document. The idea came about by way to extend her comradery as the army did. Wanted to create tools that mimic what she would have on the ground as a firefighter (hose and the strength training program.) People related adversity: identity who is in your inner circle and can be called on when you need them most. The real people are the ones you can call and be vulnerable with. Process related adversity: When you're staring at a problem it always feels bigger then it really is, so break apart the problem into bite-sized chunks that you can actually focus on. Look at the resources you have now to solve that problem - look at the alternatives in your vicinity to come up with a solution. MIlitary mental toughness to business life comes from the underlying support that we have (our village) breaking down problems into bitesize chunks to be able to move forward. There is always a way out, but it takes teamwork and time. Compartmentalization is important for business success. Overnight success does not exist! Behind every overnight success, is decades of blood, sweat, and tears. Sarah shares her five principles: 1 - Be the most curious person that you know, 2 - Always share what you're very best at, 3 - Set important milestones 4 - Practice nurturing your village 5- Always work during your state of flow.

Not trusting that you know what to offer was one of her biggest business mistakes Oppression is not our fault Patriarchy Stress Disorder = PSD Traumatic experiences are genetically transmitted We carry traumas throughout life Women have been carrying trauma for thousands of years Everything that was every 'wrong' with women, stems from thousands of years of oppression We don't have role models in the world of women living authentically PSD does not correlate from our accomplishment Nothing is wrong with women, it's not about the mindset, it's much deeper Trauma is any experience that made you feel unsafe, that led to you building trauma adaptions to make you feel safe A woman's power has always been a punishable offense Women want to be free. It is what we desire! Everything in our culture reinforces PSD, instead of making it better Be everything that you are here to be because that gives your children permission to do it too Our actions are decided in our subconscious She calls BS on 'money mindset issues' because the reality is that it wasn't until the 80's that women could take out a loan without having a male counterpart co-sign The biggest unconscious privilege of men, in this culture, is being believed in Fear of failure keeps women in her safe cell What is holding us back is not personal, it's the patriarchy 75-90% of autoimmune cases are in women Public shoutouts: Marianne Williamson: A Woman's Worth Meryl Streep on Instagram Resources: Website: https://www.drvalerie.com/ Book: Patriarchy Stress Disorder Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drvalerierein/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drvalerierein Being a wild woman means: "The woman who disobeys.

Hey you wild women! My next guest has fifteen years of experience in education, starting as an ESL teacher before joining a private school as an admission and outreach director. Her experiences traveling while home-educating had her questioning her past beliefs around parenting, how we learn, and the education system. It also highlighted the need for community. This led her to launch her podcast Honey! I'm Homeschooling the Kids, which is a platform to share ideas, stories and information about the joys and challenges of home education and self-directed learning. The podcast also serves as a place to bring together a collective voice for change in the broader education system. Currently, she's an unschooling mom of two, podcast host, and school board trustee. I asked Robyn to join me on Into The Wild because, during the time of the recording we have been asked to self-isolate and stay home. Because of this, we are now all homeschooling and trying to work from home. In This Episode, You Will Learn About: Many parents are now suddenly homeschooling and working from home We are all on this journey, whether we realize it or not we all make a difference in the world and why we are here is to complete that journey Her reason for homeschooling: To not have to stick to a schedule so that we can travel Our brain needs to be constantly learning in order to maintain our brain health Our natural curiosity become undermined as we enter the school system If we keep that curiosity going throughout life, we will be more confident Don't look to someone else to give you your meaning Homeschooling is like a mirror being held up to you You have to trust yourself My biggest mistake was trying to recreate school at home Letting your kids know that you don't know everything To have confident learners are a reflection between positive self-beliefs, motivation, and autonomy We are expecting our kids to be very independent right now, and many have never had the chance to. So we need to give them, and us parents, some grace, to be more independent Homeschooling also involves learning lifeskills.

It's really difficult to translate the things you do for other people with your own business. That's why excellent copywriting can take away the ambiguity in what you do or offer. My guest today, Abbey Woodcock, explains that copywriting is important from day one and that copy that's done well doesn't feel like copy, it's a conversation.

Interviewed an NYC state governor with her kid on her side Girl power! (Emergency doctor taking calls with a baby on her back.) Copywriting is important from day #1 Copy that's done well doesn't feel like copy, it's a conversation Wherever you're showing up in your business, you want that voice to be consistent It's ALL about your voice Common myths in copywriting Myth: if your product is amazing, you don't need copy. You still have to persuade It's an obligation to have good persuasion if your product is amazing Add curiosity in email The better you get at something the more imposter syndrome you will have (Dunning Kruger) Imposter syndrome is a sign that you're being ethical in your business The more you learn about a topic the more you realize you don't know Public shout outs: Be Present Box: www.familyacademy.co/bepresentbox Brian Kurtz Resources: Learn more: https://freelancecoop.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abbeywoodcock/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abbeywoodcockinc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/lifeandwriting Book: https://www.amazon.com/What-They-Hear-When-Write-ebook/dp/B07SLNBDBW/ ---------- Renée Warren is an award-winning entrepreneur, a 7-figure business starter, and the founder of We Wild Women, a business dedicated to helping women launch their dream business.

In this episode, I speak with Kareen Walsh, founder of Revampologist, you will learn that getting clarity about your small business is about the why and what. Your strategy shows you how. Don't build your business on the how or else you will always be hung up on that.

You will also learn that the first two action steps towards building a higher level of fulfillment as you go after achieving your goals are to 1. Get clarity around what you really want and, 2. put a strategy together to achieve it. And always keep your eye on the goal.

Taking your first step into starting your business is insanely intimidating. What do you do? What is the first thing you set up? A logo, a website? Do I do my own bookkeeping, should I incorporate? WHAT? When I started one of my first digital businesses back in 2007 I thought that branding was the most important thing. So I spent money on a logo, started blogging like crazy, put SO much time into setting up the virtual storefront, but no one came! I really didn't know much back then to be honest. Today, I am an award-winning entrepreneur and grew my previous company to over $1 million! ---------- Renée Warren is an award-winning entrepreneur, a 7-figure business starter, and the founder of We Wild Women, a business dedicated to helping women launch their dream business.
