Have you ever struggled with a decision in your business? Have you ever laid in bed and thought “is this decision the right decision?”(Ok, that was a trick question: we all have).A few months ago, in Episode 304, JD and I shared about how we were learning to embrace uncertainty and how that played out in our life and business.A podcast listener reached out to me after that time to share how meaningful the podcast had been to her - and then she shared her own framework for making a decision that was just so dang good, I had to share it with you. Here’s the cliff notes version of the three questions she asks herself - but you’ll want to click play to hear the full context so you can apply it to your next business decision.Question 1: Do I have the chops to do this new thing?

You’ll want to click play ASAP to hear all about my recent getaway with Amy Porterfield and Britta Seva - I share how we structured our time together, the specific questions we asked one another, and the takeaways each of us had at the end of the weekend.Spoiler alert: My biggest takeaway?

I resisted hosting a mastermind for years - not because I didn’t want to, but because I knew it wasn’t the right time. But I knew 2023 was going to be a big shift for me personally and professionally and that it was the right time to create something magical for other business owners… and it was such a gift to be able to get Amy and Britt’s input on how I could make it the very best experience.If you’re interested in learning more about my six-month mastermind (focused on helping you develop lifelong friendships, grow your business, and create a standout personal brand as a service-based business owner), you can learn more at jasminestar.com/mastermind.

Friend, have you ever gotten really honest with yourself and asked this question:Why have I not made more progress in my business?If so, you’re not alone. In fact, a jewelry designer named Tammy asked me this exact question during a recent group coaching session inside Social Curator.She was frustrated and felt stuck - she told me, “I get really mad at myself. I have everything I need and I’m not profitable.”I had the honor of coaching Tammy through her frustration and stuck-ness and the framework I walked her through is one that I want to share with you in this episode. It’s short, but friend - it is powerful. I truly believe that if you take the time to work through it, you’ll see the progress you’ve been hoping for.Click play now to learn how to get unstuck and remain hopeful in the process!

When I look back on my career so far, the biggest spurts of growth in my business came on the back of participating in masterminds. But can I be real? These spurts of growth were hard.

In this episode, I’m sharing a peek into my crazy Latino family traditions around Thanksgiving and sharing a perspective of gratefulness as an entrepreneur.If you’re an entrepreneur, you know all too well how lonely the journey can feel at times. I’ve been purposeful in setting my mindset around gratitude in those moments. Specifically, I’m thankful for those who stand beside me in the hard moments; for those who see my flaws and imperfections and say, “It’s okay.”Amy Porterfield is one of those friends I am most grateful for. She is hosting a week of entrepreneurial gratitude where she asked several entrepreneurs to record what we are most grateful for. I’m sharing that and more in this episode.

In this episode I am sharing 4 words that my mentor, David, shared with me to push me out of this feeling of being stuck in business and not knowing which path to take forward. That feeling of deep desire, grit and growth. A faceless, nameless idea or energy; this percolation that I know in my gut is more. That feeling that I know I'm ready to sprint, but I'm not quite sure if it's the right direction.I’ve found myself in this place more than once in my entrepreneurial journey. That feeling of not knowing which direction to go but wanting to sprint there. It’s a common feeling as a business owner and i’m guessing you may have felt it too. Listen to this episode to hear David’s advice and his four simple words that have catapulted me forward in becoming unstuck with what’s next and how you can use it as a framework to push forward when you find yourself feeling stuck in your own business journey.

This is the first time I officially met Rechelle Balanzat, which is rare for my podcast guests. But prior to our interview, I did my homework and was completely FASCINATED by what she does and how she’s reinventing and reviving a somewhat tried-and-true experience (laundry and dry cleaning) with technology. Rechelle founded JULIETTE, a full-service laundry company that picks up, cleans and delivers clothes with a click of a button in the heart of New York City. JULIETTE clearly sits at the intersection of fashion, lifestyle, and technology and in just a few short years, it’s already a leading innovator within the industry.I did my homework on Rechelle… and something that really resonated with me about her story was the fact that she is an Asian immigrant woman who built JULIETTE with zero funding. Rechelle wrote in an email to me and my podcast producer: “In 2020, VC’s invested $428M into US-based startups each day. That’s $156.2B in one year. 2.3% of that went to women. 0.2% went to women of color.”Only .2% of US venture capital went to women of color… Clearly, the numbers were against her.Listen as she answers how she made it work with the odds stacked against her and how she revolutionized an industry without any investors. We break down how she went from knowing nothing about running and owning a laundry service to building a company rooted in new technology while simultaneously working her 9-5.

A lot of people say to me, “Jasmine, I got into business because I'm an entrepreneur. I'm not a content creator.” They want to know how to be successful in business without inadvertently becoming a content creator too. I'm the daughter of an immigrant. I have bootstrapped every single company. I have paid for everything cash. I have never taken a business loan. I have never borrowed money from anybody. I don't have equity holders. I don't have stakeholders. I don't have any investments. And so people are like, “well, okay, how did you do that?”I did it on the back of content. Do I think everybody needs to create content? No, not if you can pay for ads, not if you can pay to have a whole strategy team, not if you can invest in getting featured in outlets, not if you can afford paying an influencer to talk about your business or product. If that's you, then no tea, no shade. The way I grew up in the hood is trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.And so for me, content has always been the swiss army knife of my business.In this episode, I’m going to walk you through how to strategically use content to create value for your audience and give your business massive momentum, how can you position yourself as an authority if not many people follow you and I’m going to answer what I would do if had to start all over again to get my very first sale on Instagram.

My guest today, Rory Vaden, filmed a Ted Talk on how to multiply time which has over 4.4 MILLION views on YouTube, and he opened the conversation with this: How is it that we have more tips and tricks, tools and technology, calendars and checklists than ever before, and yet, we still always seem to be behind?How is it that we work longer hours, we’re moving faster than we’ve ever moved in history, and yet we never seem to be caught up?How is it that we know more about time management today, and yet stress is at an all-time high?This ties into the first sentence of his book Procrastination on Purpose that I LOVE.

When I created my first social media marketing course in 2016, I was so proud of the work I had done but had no idea how to get the content into the hands of my Ideal Client.For weeks, I racked my brain and scribbled notes on cocktail napkins while brainstorming over tapas with my husband, JD.Finally, it hit me: I needed to give my audience a sneak peek of what I taught in my digital course to show them the value of it.That day, I decided to host a free virtual class teaching a brief overview of one of the lessons in my course and at the end of it, I informed them that they could dive even deeper into what they learned by purchasing my digital course.After I ended the call and excitedly watched hundreds of course purchases roll in, I knew I had unlocked a new way of marketing my business: a live launch.Since that Hail Mary moment, we’ve used the same method over a dozen times to market Social Curator and we’ve seen this method pay off time and time again, which is why in this episode, I’ll teach you how to create a live launch of your own.Before we dive in, download the corresponding workbook at https://www.jasminestar.com/launchlive.
