It's crazy to think that through the power of visualisation, we're constantly creating our future. But most of the time a lot of us just visualise what we don't want. We dwell, get stuck and give energy to the negative visions that are the complete opposite of our dreams. So in this episode, I want to share with you how I've used the power of visualisation to manifest some of my biggest dreams. And to help you do the same and tap into the power of visualisation, I've got a free Daily Success Visualisation for you!

Join me for the incredible FREE Ideas to Income challenge - fea.link/ideastoincome When we come up with new ideas, all this pressure builds out of nowhere that makes you feel like you're supposed to just get on with it and turn it into a success right away. But the reality is that the best ideas just don't happen that quickly. Great results take time. It's so easy to slip into the mindset that we need to get amazing results fast, and that if we're not getting results fast, it means we're failing. So many of us experience this when we have an idea to do something… whether that's to create a course, build a membership, or write a book for example. If you've ever felt like that, or you're teetering on the edge of giving up, I want to share 3 powerful things you can try when you feel frustrated. They will inspire you to hang in there and to keep believing that your ideas deserve time.

I'm so excited to be hosting the Ideas To Income Challenge starting January 25th, to help you to make 2022 the year that you turn your dreams into a reality! Sign up for free here! :) xx - fea.link/ideastoincome So many of us keep putting our ideas off to "someday", but for so many people "someday" never comes. Life is happening to us right now, and it's what we do today that counts. It's so sad to get to the end of it all with your ideas, your dreams and your magic still inside you! So if you've been delaying your dreams, sitting on your amazing ideas and getting in your own way, I have some powerful stories and tips to share with you that I know will inspire you to make 2022 the year you finally make it happen.

If you'd love more help with creating a huge breakthrough in your life and business over the next year, then definitely join me for our upcoming Ideas To Income Challenge! - fea.link/ideastoincome We all get really excited about the possibilities in front of us when a new year comes round. We feel so fired up as we set out to achieve all these big goals and dreams we create for ourselves. But so many of us get to the end of the year without ever reaching those goals or making the progress we wanted to make. We get stuck in a holding pattern living the same year on repeat over and over again, never making progress in the direction we want to go in. So what breaks that holding pattern? What creates change? How do we actually break through and make our goals happen? If you want to know what it's going to take to make 2022 different, better, more successful and more fulfilling, I want to share with you the exact steps I took to completely change my life and create the business of my dreams. I hope you love this episode and that it inspires you to make 2022 an amazing year! It starts on January 25th and over 3 days I'm going to share with you the best ways to turn your ideas into income, create more success and make more money in 2022.

Success is not an accident, we have to make it happen on purpose. If you want to live an amazing life, or even just make next year way better than this year, then you have to get intentional about it, about what you want to manifest into your life over the next 12 months and the kind of person you want to be. It's so easy to get hung up on our self-doubt and the limitations we make up in our minds. We convince ourselves that we need to be more "realistic", that it's silly to dream so big. That's why every year it's so important to give ourselves permission once again to dream big, to get excited about the possibilities, to reconnect with ourselves and get intentional about what we truly want to experience in our lives. So in this week's episode we're going through this process together and planning our best year ever! I hope this episode inspires you to decide and commit that you're going to make 2022 a bloody amazing year and just go for it. Get lost in the magic of dreaming big and imagining all the possibilities, and then create your plan to make it all happen! If you'd love to set yourself up for a really amazing year, don't forget to save your spot for our upcoming Ideas To Income Challenge - we'll show you what you need to do to create so much success in 2022. It's FREE and it's going to be absolutely incredible.

As entrepreneurs it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that until we're clear on what we offer and until we have a product to sell, then there's no use in showing up and sharing content online. But this couldn't be further from the truth - in fact it's a common misconception that keeps so many entrepreneurs stuck from ever really building momentum and growing their audience. We hold ourselves back because we think we need to have everything figured out, rather than giving ourselves permission to just show up, be of service and have meaningful conversations with the people in our community. Showing up when you have nothing to sell is one of the most powerful things you can do for your business and for your audience, so in this week's episode I'm sharing some tips and a change in perspective that helped me to overcome this and I know it will help you too!

A lot of us as entrepreneurs tend to be creative, ideas people. But you reach a point in your business when you can no longer do everything yourself and you have to hire people to help you. Apart from the challenge of finding the right people, growing a team also means putting systems in place, creating structures to make everything work, managing boundaries, expectations, emotions, conflicts and so much more. It also means that you naturally have to shift away from focusing on the creative side of your business and more towards figuring out the operational and people management side instead. So many entrepreneurs struggle with this when they first start growing their team, and when other people are involved, mistakes you make don't only impact you, but your team members too. So in this episode I'm sharing with you the biggest mistakes I've made over the past few years of growing my team and the 7 biggest lessons I learned that I know will be really helpful for you if you're looking to hire new people into your business. If you'd love more help growing a successful business in 2022, we have the most amazing new challenge planned that will help you turn your ideas into income and have the most incredible year ever!

The entrepreneurial journey is a crazy one. In fact, it can feel like riding a roller coaster ride in the dark! It can feel lonely, scary and you never know what to expect and what you're going to have to deal with. There's no special secret to help you avoid this crazy ride - even the most successful people in the world are on the roller coaster with you. We're all human, which means that no one gets to escape the fact that we are emotional beings and that we go through all sorts of ups and downs. It's easy to feel like you're the only person in the world who struggles like this and that everyone else has everything figured out - but no one is just plain sailing through this life. As an entrepreneur coming up with exciting ideas and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, it's normal to feel inspired and fired up one day and completely stuck in the "Valley of Despair" the next day. The most important thing to do is to be intentional about managing that roller coaster ride. Which is why in today's episode I want to share with you 5 things that really help me to get through the ups and downs, to stay consistent and to enjoy the ride! If you would love more support as you go through this journey, we've got an amazing challenge coming up soon called Ideas To Income, which is going to get you inspired and fired up to make 2022 your most successful year ever.

As entrepreneurs, we're constantly coming up against new struggles, challenges and things we don't know the answer to. When you have amazing ideas and big dreams, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck or confused trying to make it all happen. And you're not alone - it's the same for each and every one of us! You need to remember that just because you feel overwhelmed or confused, it doesn't mean you can't become successful. Just because you aren't making money right now, it doesn't mean that you're failing. A huge part of building a successful business is about becoming a creative problem solver and continuing to find the courage to keep taking inspired action... to keep growing and keep going. So what do you do when you're in that place? What do you do when you feel like you're failing and you start to question whether the dreams you've been holding for yourself can ever become your reality? You need to hold on to those dreams that you have, your ideas and what you want to bring to life - because you can 100% make them work! If you've been feeling stuck, confused and tangled up, in this episode I want to share some simple but powerful things that have really helped me and that I know will help you to get into the right mindset and energy to make amazing things happen!

So in this episode I wanted to chat to you about: The entry I wrote in my journal in February 2016 talking about how I was driving myself to despair over writing my book, She Means Business. How I compare the effort of bringing my ideas to life to giving birth to a baby! Why feeling like you're in the valley of despair is actually a really good sign.

So many entrepreneurs want to create their own YouTube channel but don't know where to start! If you have ever wondered how you could leverage YouTube to grow your business, you're going to love this episode of the She Means Business Show! The amazing thing about YouTube is that your content lives on and works for years, it doesn't just disappear after a few hours like it does on social media platforms! But the key thing to understand is that it's different when you're approaching YouTube as an entrepreneur as opposed to a creator or entertainer who wants to make money with Adsense. So in this episode I'm chatting with the amazing Sunny Lenarduzzi! She's a social media consultant and business growth coach and has grown her YouTube channel to over 500,000 subscribers! When we wanted help to leverage YouTube for FEA, we bought her course because her information is so good, which is why I'm so excited for you to listen to this episode! In it we talk about: The 3 types of content that you need to create as an entrepreneur on YouTube. How Sunny started out on YouTube (completely by mistake!). The most important type of content you need to create as an entrepreneur (and how to generate leads on autopilot). Why viral content isn't always a good thing (and how to use it properly). The metrics that really matter on YouTube (and it's not the number of views!). How to come up with content topics. The formula for success on YouTube. The results you can expect when you focus on value instead of virality. Sunny shares so many amazing insights and strategies and if you want to learn more from her, you can find her at: http://workwithsunny.com/ YouTube: Sunny Lenarduzzi Instagram: @sunnylenarduzzi Also don't forget to enter this week's podcast giveaway!

Our businesses rely solely on us to become a success, so if we're not well, healthy and fit and have the energy we need - we won't be able to reach our goals and live the life we dream of. So many of us push ourselves so hard and focus so much of our energy on our businesses that we often forget to focus on ourselves. Which is why I'm so excited to be chatting to the incredible Angela Foster in this episode! Angela is a Health & Performance Coach and the stuff she teaches is incredible. In this episode we chat about how you can optimize your health and energy to build an even more successful business. Angela shares: Her story of chasing success, how that led to a complete burnout and the epiphany she had while lying in hospital. What biohacking is and why it can help us to not only be healthier but also build more successful businesses. Her SHIFT model for sustaining high energy, optimizing your health and avoiding burnout. Why sleep is so essential for wellbeing, creativity and success. How to get better results by planning your calendar around your menstrual cycle. Why you need to train your mind as much as you train your body and why gratitude plays such a huge part of this. This is such an incredible episode and I know you're going to take so many tips away from it (and hopefully want to be kinder to yourself too!). Remember that we run a giveaway every week!

So many of us have amazing ideas but hold ourselves back from ever doing anything about them. We're scared we're not good enough, that it's not the perfect idea, that people will judge us for it or that we will fail. We hold ourselves back and wait until we feel ready, until everything is perfect and we have the confidence to go for it. We doubt ourselves, question ourselves and keep playing small, never discovering what our true purpose is and how much is truly possible for each and every one of us. If you've been teetering on the edge of going for it, and you just need to know that it's the right thing to do, then you're going to love this episode I have for you with the incredible Cathy Heller! In this episode Cathy and I talk about so many things: Why the "perfect idea" doesn't exist and what to do instead. How to overcome your negative thoughts, limiting beliefs and fears so that you can pursue your purpose and impact other people's lives. How to build a successful membership that brings people together and creates amazing value. Why so many of us stay stuck in the same routines and why we all need to let ourselves break free. Why becoming a millionaire is easier than working a 9-5 and earning a salary. How your unique message is the key to growing the right audience. Why confidence is a lie and what you need instead. How to attract more abundance into your life and surrender even if you don't have it all figured out. I hope this episode inspires you to take the first (or next!) step on your journey and remember that if you want more help to build a wildly successful business - we're here for you every step of the way!

As business owners and leaders, we have a responsibility to play our part in creating more diversity, inclusivity and equality in our businesses. We're entering a new world where businesses that aren't creating that diversity and inclusion for their customers and their communities are going to get left behind.

Sign up to the 12 week Create & Sell program here at fea.link/create I know that so many of us have these amazing ideas and desires to create something really successful but we're teething on the edge of really going for it. So often we have great ideas, but it feels so overwhelming to actually create anything! We go from feeling inspired to talking ourselves out of it and making up all sorts of reasons for why it wouldn't have worked out anyway. Over the years there have been so many times where I've had amazing ideas but the fear of doing anything about it was just too big, so I just did nothing. If you've ever struggled with feeling stuck like this, this episode is for you! In this episode I'm sharing with you: Why the ideas you have are exactly right for you.

If you're feeling scared that no one will buy from you, you're not alone because the majority of us have this fear! Back when I started the Members' Club I was terrified that no one would want to join, that I would be doing all that work for nothing and that I would never manage to make it a success.

If you feel like you're sitting on some amazing business ideas but you don't know what to do about it, then this episode is for you! Back in 2005 when I started my first business doing mobile phone unlocking, I had no idea what I was doing or how to make it successful. I just winged it until I managed to make it work. A few years later, when I came up with the idea for the Female Entrepreneur Association, I was drowning in doubt and wondering to myself, "who am I to do this?!". It felt so much easier to procrastinate and just do nothing about it, so I stayed stuck for 3 whole years before I actually went ahead and did something about it! So many of us are sitting on amazing ideas, but sometimes we just can't get out of our own way to make the progress we desire. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck or frustrated, the good news is that there is a way to get out of your own way and create the success that you desire!

How do we get stuff done that gets results? So often we end up feeling really busy doing a lot of stuff but not actually getting results. I get asked a lot how do I manage my time effectively juggling children, building a business, or having a full time job and building a business. It can be so crazy to have another priority and a business, it's overwhelming at times - for me, balancing being a mum and having a business has been a real struggle at times. Manage my time effectively and getting things done, I felt so irritated with myself that I wasn't making progress - you know how it feels when you've got these big dreams and goals but you don't seem to be getting anywhere with them. It's so annoying and frustrating. I had a big shift in realisation that have hugely changed the way I approach managing my time and I wanted to share it with you. The fact that you're busy and you also have other priorities outside of your business doesn't mean that you can't build a wildly successful business - you definitely can! And I'm going to show you how :)

When it comes to learning or achieving anything new in life, the process is always so much easier and quicker when you follow in the footsteps of someone who has done it before you, rather than trying to figure it all out for yourself. Success leaves clues, and the achievements of others before you can be the shortcuts to your own success. But it's also so important to find out what your own version of success is, what John Lee Dumas - of the amazing Entrepreneurs on Fire podcast - likes to call, your "zone of fire". Since 2012 John has been producing a daily podcast where he has now interviewed over 3,000 of the most incredible entrepreneurs such as Amy Porterfield, Lewis Howes, Marie Forleo, Tim Ferris, Ramit Sethi, Neil Patel, Barbara Corcoran and Pat Flynn to name a few. That was his zone of fire. Committing to doing that podcast every day not only helped John build a huge multi-million dollar business, it also gave him insight into the roadmap that all these entrepreneurs seem to have in common when it comes to creating success. So in this episode John and I talk about: How he took 10 years of knowledge and 3,000 conversations with amazing entrepreneurs and turned them into 17 steps for success for his upcoming book, The Common Path To Uncommon Success. How John started out as an officer in the U.S. Army and then spent 6 years switching careers and looking for his zone of genius. Why making a commitment to creating a daily podcast changed his life. Finding your "big" idea that aligns with your unique zone of fire. Overcoming impostor syndrome and committing to your ideas. Why John has shared his monthly income reports since day one. Why it's so important to get clear on what success looks like for you and how John runs his business in alignment with the kind of lifestyle he wants to live. The biggest lie that many experts share. You can pre-order John's book, The Common Path To Uncommon Success right here But if you'd love to get your hands on a free copy, we've got 10 copies to give away!

(We're doing an AMAZING FEA birthday giveaway, so if you want to find out how you can enter and win, read till the end!) When I first had the idea to start FEA, I held myself back for 3 whole years before plucking up the courage to really do something about it and commit completely. I dabbled for a really long time, teetering on the edge of what could be, until one day I finally decided to go all in 100% to make it happen. 10 years later, that small idea has turned into an incredible worldwide community, a multi-million dollar business, a bestselling book and so much more! And through all that, there have been so many ups and downs, amazing wins and some utter failures. So in this episode I wanted to share with you the 10 biggest lessons I have learned over the past decade of building FEA into what it is today!

Writing a book is one of the most amazing things you can ever accomplish as an entrepreneur and seeing your book on Amazon, in bookstores or in people's hands is such an incredible feeling! If you would love to write your own book, feel like you've got a message to share, a powerful voice and loads of amazing ideas, but your logical brain keeps stopping you from getting those ideas out on paper, then this episode is exactly what you need! I struggled for years and had really bad writer's block, before I discovered a few key tips and mindset shifts that helped me to get all my ideas and messages out of me and into a bestselling book! So in this episode I share with you: The first hit of inspiration I had and the very first version of the book I wrote (and how that inspiration wore off really quickly!). The time I decided to turn down an offer from a publisher because I couldn't find the right inspiration to write my book. How I almost missed my contract deadline to write my book with Hay House (and the realisation I had that completely changed everything!)

Looking around at successful 6, 7, even 8 figure entrepreneurs, it's difficult not to feel stuck if you're still not seeing the kind of income you'd like from your business or revenue stream. But speaking from my experience, it takes time, patience and perseverance to make money from any idea or business, no matter what it is. When I started out, I just had a dream and a desire to help other people, but I had no clue how I was going to make it happen or make money from it! I just knew that if I built an audience of people who loved what my message was about, I would be able to find a way to make money from it. So over the years I tried 12 different revenue streams to see what worked for me! 7 of them didn't work out very well but 5 of them have made millions and allowed me to build a multiple 7-figure business! So many entrepreneurs fail simply because they give up if their first revenue stream doesn't make money within a few months and I don't want that to be you! So in this episode I share: How I came up with the idea for FEA and what I focused on when I got started. The first things I tried that made money in FEA (and why I didn't really want to do some of them again!). How I created passive income for the first time ever with a simple digital product. The revenue stream that helped me break through my money mindset blocks (and gave me the opportunity to work with Amy Porterfield, Lewis Howes, James Wedmore and more!). How I finally found the perfect revenue stream (that has made millions over the past few years!). My top 5 favourite revenue streams out of the 12 I have tried and why they have worked so well for me. The best insights I've learned over 10 years of growing FEA about what it takes to create revenue streams that actually work. I hope this episode sparks loads of ideas and inspiration and if you have a question you'd love me to answer or a challenge you're facing in your business, drop a comment below or send us a DM on Instagram and I'll try to make a future episode to answer you directly! And if you would love to understand what type of entrepreneur you are and discover the kind of business game plan that best suits your personality, I've got you covered with this fun quiz.

Building a successful business or turning any dream into reality is never an easy feat. In fact, we all have to face challenges, rejections and failures on the way to making it happen. It's all part of the process. So many of us just hold back, waiting for everything to fall into place, for someone to give us our chance or for things to be perfect. So Trey Anthony turned her talents into success by doing the exact opposite. She took charge of her own destiny, invested in her own self, took imperfect action and turned her mess into her message! The results were amazing and it goes to show how far we can truly go when we give ourselves permission to dream big and just try. In this episode Trey and I chat about: Trey's story and how being typecast and rejected was the start of her success story. Why being authentic and speaking her truth is her super power. Why she repeatedly took imperfect action and invested in herself to make things happen. How she lives an intentional life and finds the courage to take action even when she's terrified. Her incredible grandmother becoming a rapper in her late 70s. The lowest point in her life and how that was the start of her new book, Black Girl In Love (With Herself).

If you ever feel like things around you are out of control while you feel heavy and stuck, unable to do anything about it, this episode is going to be a game changer for you! Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster, with so many ups and downs that are out of our control - but something we do have control over are the thoughts and feelings that we choose to make ourselves available for. When we get intentional about the way we want to feel, everything changes! And the best part is that you don't have to wait to feel the way you want to, so in this episode I chat to you about: Why getting intentional about your feelings is a huge (and underrated) key to creating success. The realisation I had in 2011 that completely changed the way I lived my life (and the success I was experiencing). 4 simple but powerful steps to help you put this into practice, get unstuck and feel ready to allow abundance and success to flow into your life. I'm also setting you a really fun challenge in this episode, so why not grab a friend (in real life or online!), have a watch party and take this challenge together? Once you do, share your chosen feeling with us! What are you going to focus on feeling over the next 30 days?

Before I started FEA, I used to sit there watching webinars as other entrepreneurs shared how they were building their successful businesses. Part of me used to think it was absurd and ridiculous. I watched from the sidelines as these people achieved amazing things and created incredible success. All the while I had massive impostor syndrome around my ideas and dreams. I felt embarrassed to do anything about it. I kept playing small while watching all these other people play big. A part of me felt so frustrated and broken because I wasn't doing what I was supposed to be doing with my life. And I know that so many of us feel this way… so many of us stand on the sidelines and watch others going for their dreams and making amazing things happen. So in this episode I want to chat to you about; The massive money block that used to hold me back from creating financial success. The shift we all need to make to create amazing success, abundance and joy. The steps I took to turn my dream of becoming a Hay House author into reality. A visualisation exercise and powerful questions to help you get clear on how you need to uplevel to get to where you want to be.

But mostly it's about helping you to see the value that you have in yourself and that you bring to this world… The fact that you have a powerful message to share, whatever it may be. However, even though I built the Female Entrepreneur Association, this wasn't always the case for me. For many years before that I struggled so much, feeling stuck and confused about what my purpose in life was. So in this episode I want to share my whole story with you, all the way back to 2005 when my entrepreneurial journey started.

Kenz Soliman shares her story and tips on how she went from an idea to selling over 42,000 online courses! Starting a successful online business doesn't have to be complicated or difficult. Kenz Soliman is the perfect example of this. Despite all the fears and self-doubt she was struggling with, a few years ago Kenz decided to create a simple, 30-minute course about hashtags and publish it on Udemy. That was the first step to what is now her dream business and she has sold over 42,000 courses since then! Kenz is a member and a Team Leader inside the Members' Club and her story is incredible. She's proof that you can be anywhere in the world with a laptop, an internet connection and belief in yourself, and if you just take action, you can create so much success! In this episode we chat about: - How Kenz started her online business while caring for her son as a stay-at-home mum. - The impostor syndrome and fear she had to face, especially when it came to charging what she was worth. - Publishing her first course, getting 1,000 students in just 26 hours and how it grew from there. - What she thinks about making mistakes, pivoting in your business and creating courses in a competitive market. - Her best tip for marketing your online course.

What if thinking like a millionaire and making million-dollar decisions is actually the key to creating millions? We're trained to think "realistically" our whole lives: to make sensible decisions, expect the worst and be financially conservative, even at the best of times. But what if attracting success is about more than just the nitty gritty of marketing and ROI? It all starts with mindset, and in order to draw the millionaire lifestyle to yourself you have to start thinking, "What decision would millionaire-me make?". I know that changing my thinking around my own decision-making and biases was key to moving the needle for my business and finally reaching seven figures. My amazing friend Michelle Rohr - founder of the Secret Owl Society - practices making million dollar decisions every day, and in this episode Michelle talks all about how she shifted her mindset to think like a millionaire and gives some really practical tips to help you to get there too. I hope you love this episode, which we recorded out in beautiful Palm Springs during our 2019 Inspired Vacay event! Carrie xx

As we're about to get into 2021, I got to thinking about everything that's happened this year - in the world, in my own life at home, and in my business. This year proves that we never know what's going to happen, we can't foresee the future and we never know what kind of obstacles or challenges we're going to have to face. But as Viktor Frankl says, what we do have control over is how we choose to respond. Even in the most frustrating or challenging situations, we always have the freedom to step back and choose a response that's going to help empower us and give us the best outcome possible. And amidst all of the scary stuff, so much good has come about this year: - We finished renovation on the office and started working in there with the team, which has been amazing. - So many exciting things have happened in FEA; new opportunities have come up and we've welcomed some amazing new members to the team and the Members' Club. - And of course, Miss Marlie arrived in this world! ♥ So whatever comes in 2021, I have to remind myself to keep an eye on what I do have in life, and how much I have to be grateful for. And remember, "Everything you have in life can be taken from you except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation." Have an amazing New Year, I can't wait to see you in 2021 :) Carrie xx

All the dreams I've ever had started as just a crazy idea in my head. When I had the dream to start FEA, write my book or do my TEDx Talk...

There's a quote by Viktor Fankl I love that says, "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." It's so empowering because even though we never know what's going to happen or how our circumstances are going to change, the one thing we always have control over in life is how we react and respond. So after the fear and uncertainty that we've all had to deal with in 2020, how can we make sure that we show up in a way that attracts more of what we want into our lives for 2021? How can we stop letting fears hold us back and go for our dreams like never before? Even when it feels scary, uncertain and overwhelming? In this episode I wanted to chat to you about why we all need to show up as our most fearless selves in 2021 and how we can attract more of what we want into our lives, despite the fear, uncertainty and overwhelm that may surround us. How far would you go if you decided that 2021 is your time? Your year of taking fearless action? If you're ready to find out, I want to help you! Join us for the free Fearless 2021 Challenge and let's find out how far we can go when we no longer let fear stand in our way.

So many entrepreneurs feel like they need to hit 6 figures or achieve a huge milestone success before they're ready and worthy to get publicity. But this couldn't be further from the truth! We all have interesting stories to share and our personal perspectives and experiences can impact so many people. Publicity is the perfect way to not only get yourself and your work out there, but also to get in front of people who might see themselves in you and feel inspired. I have an incredible conversation to share with you in this episode that I had with the amazing Selena Soo, all about how anyone at any stage of their business can get publicity. In this episode Selena and I chat about: Why being an introvert can actually help you to be even more relatable when you get publicity. How Selena was inspired to get into publicity by sharing meaningful stories she knew would impact other people's lives. The 7 steps to getting publicity and making the most of that exposure to get amazing results in your business. The biggest challenge that keeps people back from trying to get publicity. The 5 levels of publicity that you can get and the different advantages of each one. I know this episode is going to show you that we all have interesting stories to share and will inspire you to get publicity for your own business!

So many of us waste so much time thinking about our dreams and never doing anything about them. Before I took the leap to start FEA, I used to come up with ideas and then overthink and over complicate them until I felt like I should just forget about it. What happens really often when we have an idea to do something, is that we feel fired up and inspired at first. But the more we think about it, the more we question whether we can do it or if it will even work. In the end we just keep talking ourselves out of doing anything! If this sounds familiar, then this episode is for you! I want to chat to you about: - The biggest thing that kills dreams and ideas (and it has nothing to do with failure!). - The most important thing we all need to do to bring our ideas to life. - How to find answers and inspiration when you don't know what to do. - Ways of coming up with a great idea to create and sell online. - How to get out of your own way so that you can create success and be of service. I hope this episode gets you fired up to start working on turning your ideas into something you can sell online - because I know how much success is in store for you if you do! I'm also really excited that I've been working hard putting all the knowledge I have about creating offers and selling them online into an online program, and that program is launching really soon! If you're ready to go all in and finally turn those ideas that have been swirling around in your head into income, success and value for other people, sign up to the waitlist and you'll be the first to know when enrollment opens! https://femaleentrepreneurassociation.com/createandsell Carrie xx

Your brand, business and offers come to life online through the words you use. Which is why as entrepreneurs, one thing we all have to learn how to do really well is copywriting. If you've been wanting to set up an evergreen funnel or you've been optimising an existing one, you know what a big part copywriting plays in the success of that funnel. In this episode of the She Means Business Show I'm joined by the amazing Prerna Malik, conversion copywriter and co-founder of The Content Bistro. She has written copy for top entrepreneurs like Pat Flynn, Amy Porterfield and Vanessa Lau, and in this episode she's sharing: What an evergreen funnel is and why it's so powerful for creating sales on autopilot. Her business journey from mummy blog to copywriting and how she worked with amazing entrepreneurs like Pat Flynn and Amy Porterfield. Her B.A.K.E. framework for writing copy that converts at every stage of your evergreen funnel. The biggest mistakes that keep entrepreneurs stuck when it comes to finding success with evergreen. Why you need to ask your audience for the sale multiple times and how to use different messaging. The types of stories you should be sharing with your audience. One thing to keep in mind to make writing copy so much easier and more authentic. I hope you love this episode and that it gives you loads of ideas to uplevel your copywriting and your evergreen funnel! If you'd love more support with writing copy for your evergreen funnel, Prerna has also created an amazing masterclass for our Members' Club diving into all the steps of her copywriting framework!

As entrepreneurs and visionaries, one of the most important qualities we need to have is the ability to be flexible in our thinking, our actions and our plans as things change around us (which happens all the time!). In this episode I'm joined by the amazing Racheal Cook, founder of CEO Collective, as we chat about her journey from starting her first business, to the success she has created by navigating change in her business like a CEO. In this conversation Racheal and I chat about: How she left the corporate job that burnt her out and leapt into entrepreneurship. The first business she started and how it has evolved and changed from there thanks to the feedback she got from her audience. How Racheal crafted her message and her offers around the needs of her dream customers. How she focused on results and serving her audience rather than the ideas, strategies or advice from other people in the industry. Why 90 day planning works so well and how to set goals you'll actually achieve. Why we all need to overcome perfection and just share the crappy first draft of our offer with the world. How Racheal only works 25 hours per week in her business and how she redefined her role as CEO. Racheal is also the creator of two of our most popular masterclasses inside the Members' Club: Live Your Dream Life Now and Lead Your Business like A CEO. If you would like to hear more from Racheal and connect with her: Check out her podcast: Promote Yourself To CEO Head over to her website: www.Rachealcook.com

In this episode Jadah Sellner and I dive into her experience building the Simple Green Smoothies community from zero into a seven-figure business with over 400,000 Instagram followers and 355,000 email subscribers.

In this episode I'm joined by the amazing Andrea McLean. If you're in the UK, you'll have seen Andrea on TV as part of the Loose Women panel! She's done some incredible things and written 3 incredible books. No matter what our big goals are, whether that includes building a business at all, is the fact that we all just want to live our best lives and live happy lives. You can set goal after goal, but if you don't actually know what makes you happy, those goals become hollow and will never make you feel fulfilled. In this chat, Andrea and I talk about: Why we all need to do what it takes to live happy, good lives and thrive rather than settling for just existing. So many of us are stuck in a place of just existing and letting our life make decisions for us. How we all have a pivot moment in our lives and how Andrea's pivot moment involved jumping out of a helicopter and how that changed her life. How Andrea experienced trauma in her personal life and buried them. There was a trigger. Felt like there was a tiger in the room all day long and a constant anxiety. Became physically ill - like many successful entrepreneurs, just kept going until burn out couldn't run away from it all. How she realised she no longer wanted some of the goals she had been chasing. How to align yourself with what brings you joy so that you can experience joy now rather than in the future.
