And, in this Prelude episode, I'll give you a top-to-bottom run through of the process, so that you have a clear idea of how it all works from start to finish. I'll start with a review of the equipment you need and methods for recording your show and take you all the way through getting your podcast launched and distributed on the major platforms–covering 8 main steps in all. And, if you've already launched your podcast, let this episode be a double-check of whether you missed anything important.

Today, I'm going to open up the curtain once again on my own entrepreneurial journey and share my recent Key Note Address! The Palm Beach County School District recently asked me to be the key note speaker for their virtual National Entrepreneur's Day event on November 16th. Well, with that key note, I was walking the walk that I talked about in the last episode--that when people see you, STEP UP. So, I'll let you be the judge on how I did! You'll hear me trying to tackle two intentions with this key note address: 1) getting young entrepreneurs jazzed about the journey and the experiece of building your own business by sharing my own journey, and 2) giving a quick course on launching a podcast. And, I'm sharing this also so that you can imagine all the potential impact that my doing this particular presentation in front of that audience of small business owners had for MY business. And, THAT's why I'm such a proponent of getting out there. Listen in, and let's do this...!

I'm going to share with you my NUMBER ONE branding and business growth strategy that was an absolute gamechanger for me--attending conferences. And, there are different strategies and benefits you can utilize, depending on how you are going to that conference--as an attendee, a speaker, or with a media pass. I've packed this episode with lots of tips to help you find the right conferences to go to, decide how you want to show up, and to maximize your time while you're there. Plus, I'll mention examples of how attending conferences has boosted my own entrepreneurial career, providing links to several examples in the show notes. And, I'll end the episode by including a clip from Episode 3 of my other show--the Podfest Podcast. My co-host, Glenn, and I discussed this strategy and how we have (both individually and through projects together) attended conferences over and over again to keep leveling up, and it has proven to simply be revolutionary.

We are going to swing back to the subjectmatter from two episodes ago and dip into even more of Google's suite of apps and tools. First, I'll start with a deep dive into some of the other Google apps that I love, aside from the big three of Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Then, I'll share some quick mentions of other apps I've found useful--though I use them less often. And, we'll end with other Google tools I haven't really used, yet, but want to explore in the future. They look pretty cool, so I want to put them on your radar, in case they would be really useful for YOU! And, of course, these apps provide the same benefits as the ones I highlighted for you in Episode 27--real-time collaboration, auto-save, etc.... And, did I mention again that these are also free? Because, they are also FREE. Soooo... you're welcome--again, lol. Listen in, and let's do this...!

Last Friday, I had the honor of being invited to appear as a guest for the She Podcasts LIVE 2021 Conference! It's "the largest in-person gathering of women podcasters, audio content creators, story tellers, and more!" Well, in preparing that presentation (which was specific to PODCASTING--breaking down the elements of a media kit, putting together a sizzle reel, for example), I realized I could EASILY reshift that content's focus to be more general to help you with YOUR business, because whether you are promoting your brand to new clients, potential new investors, or other partnership opportunities, you need to showcase your sizzle! So, on this episode, I'll start by 1) silencing any resistance you may have toward self-promotion. The mindset is often the first hurdle, after all! Then, I'll cover the essentials of both 2) presenting your story and 3) creating a snapshot of your portfolio that shines--YOUR SIZZLE! And, I'll wrap up the episode with 4) how you put all of that together in pitching your sizzle to match the other person's needs and close those deals. Listen in, and let's do this...!

After creating a side hustle in order to make ends meet, the next phase of business growth can be fueled by creating wrap-around services for your CORE business. After all, your ultimate goal is to build up that core business as your full source of income. So, by creating these wrap-around services, you will move your resource for extra income away from the lane that your other side hustle is driving in to the same lane and customer base as your core services. Thus, you'll now be leveraging your core client base for additional revenue streams--thus, continuing to further tip the scales toward having your business be completely the thing you REALLY want to focus on! So, let's run through how I did that and a couple of ways you can do that, too...

I hope y'all enjoyed a Labor Day weekend that was both productive AND restful... If you recall, Episode 20 back in June was a VERY special episode, because I opened up the pages of my then new, beautiful grey, personal business journal and shared my recent entries and the lightbulb reason WHY I wanted to share them with you on this show. And that reason was because I wanted to illustrate in big bold letters the heart song that happens when you work toward making your living from your life's passion and go from being a dreamer to being a doer.

As you're building the main portion of your business, you may have to support that effort with ANOTHER side hustle--especially if you have left or are leaving your 9-5 (or are open to other 9-5 options). You can typically create a side hustle for your side hustle in two different ways: 1) side work or 2) side products. Side work involves banking on your other marketable skills; whereas side products involve becoming a seller for a pre-established product line. Today, I'll explain how I built my side hustle's side hustle utilizing the first option and parlaying my basic digital marketing skills into a learning opportunity that also provided an extra paycheck. Then, we'll dive into a couple of suggestions for selling side products. Listen in, and let's do this...!

One thing we are guaranteed to never get back is our time. When you begin to outsource, as discussed on the last episode, you definitely get some of your time back, for sure. But, if you're anything like me, you are very prone to still saying yes to too many things and filling up your time. While working on building that mental muscle of giving yourself permission to not say yes to EVERYTHING, we can definitely start to work on some time management. So, today, we're going to focus on two techniques I have taken on to protect my time and run through how I've used them: time blocking and auto-schedulers. Listen in, and let's do this...!

"Hit it hard. Keep the lights on." ~Jaime Tips included in this episode: Defining your "why" is your fav piece of advice to give, how to define your "why" (write a list), the importance of your "why", your weight loss journey as an example. The voice in your head that gets in your own way, admitting you do this, knowing you're not the only one, going back to your "why", cross out all the "why nots", what you can control. Everything you do is part of your portfolio and reputation, you never know what opportunity could come from something you did a while back, build a website and/or use LinkedIn to show off your work and testimonials. Emails (responsive and good grammar), logos (look professional), one-sheets (purpose), Zoom calls (timeliness, attire, lighting, background). How to learn graphic design, website building, and social media techniques on your own (online learning, the simple things). Multitasking your business and your social life, accepting you're the weird one, not everyone will understand the grind, the people who love and support you are the only ones you should worry about. Bartering (what can you offer in exchange), borrowing (simple concept, borrow online), bargaining (doesn't hurt to ask), and a few general tips at the end. Lack of self-care can lead to burnout, how to take time to get your stuff done, what it looks like when you don't take time for self-care, honest look at your time, importance of sleep. Listening helps you solve a client's pain point, always listen first, listening closes sales -- not talking, businesses don't want a slick oil salesman, experience with podcasters wanting different things. Money vs. time value distinction, pain points translate into value points, client will compensate you for value points, evaluate your experience, scarce skills means more money, identify your key uniqueness, how to communicate price points and value points. Perks of good SEO, what types of sites Google likes (good web design, clear menu options, SSL, etc.), importance of updating site and making sure it doesn't look outdated. Different functions of Google Analytics (what pages people see first, where visitors come from, monitoring load time of pages), relevancy (keywords, good copy, maximize SEO benefit, third party site analyzer). Keep everything updated (contact info), make sure links aren't broken, site longevity, social media isn't SEO, don't avoid fixing issues, it's okay if you can't fix them all at once. Get that sh*t in writing, contracts are crucial, contracts apply to family members too (could save the relationship in a tough business situation), protect your business, NDA. Linear breakdown of FSM contracts (top info., contact info., statement of intent, parameters for ending contract, penalties, autorenewal, the agreement, performance of services and money, NDA, etc.). Need space for your business despite what's going on, set aside moments to rejuvenate and moments for business, communicate with clients about what's going on (they want to feel heard), get help when you need it, importance of mental health. Nail down your business's uniqueness, scale spirit and culture along with output of services, identifying key pieces you need to keep maintaining, getting process flows in place to pass on the work. Power of networking, find disciples for your brand, definition of networking, secret sauce of networking (setting a goal for yourself, listing goals), stick to your goals to see an amazing networking effect. Don't work on your business on your job's wifi, email, browser, etc., be aware of wandering eyes, keep your social media private, don't accept work friends as FB friends,

This is a VERY special episode, because it is really going to illustrate in big bold letters the heart song that happens when you work toward making your living from your life's passion.

Networking is key to overall business growth in SO many ways--from helping you navigate your industry's pitfalls through finding new clients and team members, and more. I'll first illustrate its superpower by comparing networking to a story I've often shared with clients and in my Dreamers Become Doers rooms on Clubhouse--a story you're probably already familiar with. But, this superpower comparison must really resonate, as my followers have begun sharing it around Clubhouse, too! Then, after illustrating networking's superpower, I'll reveal its secret sauce--along with a few other ingredients needed in the mix to ensure your success. At the end, I'll tell you the story from my own life that lead me to realize both networking's superpower and the secret sauce that makes it work.

I'm your host, Jaime Legagneur, and throughout this show, I want to find out all about YOU and what business you have going on in YOUR bedroom and create a real solid think tank for you on this crazy journey that so many of us are going through. So, for today, we are starting off this show by Defining your Why. And, this is my favorite piece of advice to share, because it can apply not only to just whatever you are doing as a business, but to literally EVERY choice you make that requires effort--losing weight, raising a kid, playing a sport, applying for scholarships, whatever... This lesson applies to everything. So, it's a great place for you and I to start. Listen in and let's do this...!

Thanks for finding Business in the Bedroom - A Bootstrapper's Guide to Doing It. I'm your host, Jaime Legagneur, and, I've built my business, Flint Stone Media, from MY bedroom as my passionate pursuit of making OTHER people's dreams and goals come to fruition. I started my first podcast on this subject back in 2014, calling it "Curve the Cube," interviewing other people on how they had been finding success doing what they truly love--in order to guide not only myself, but also others. And, I've been building a business around helping others achieve their OWN business goals ever since. So, this new show, Business in the Bedroom, is my latest effort to do just that, and I'm sooo happy that you're going to be joining me. Normally, this show will be delivered every other week on Mondays. But, I'm getting things ready to launch on Monday, January 4th with a strong 8-episode push, which I'll give a rundown for in this trailer, so you can know what's coming up! I'm assuming you will be listening to this, because you are either running a business from YOUR bedroom or are thinking about it.
