How many times have you heard someone refer to their business as their baby?

It may seem like a common analogy given the blood, sweat, and tears we may initially put into our businesses, but there comes a time when you need to step back.

Babies are dependent on you, your business shouldn’t be!

If you want your business to thrive it’s vital to delegate and allow others to take control of the steering wheel so they can have autonomy over their tasks.

Failure to do so will result in:

  • Stagnant business growth and development
  • Severely heighted levels of stress which leads to social isolation
  • Loneliness because you are always working and rarely take time to enjoy your loved ones or to recharge your body and mind

Which can also lead to:

  • Being trapped in a “never-not-working” mentality;
  • Makes you susceptible to higher levels of uncertainty, anxiety, powerlessness, and responsibility for what's truthfully out of our control;
  • You detaching from your own needs, disconnecting from friends and loved ones, and sacrificing other sources of meaning such as relationships, parenting, travel and play for the sake of not wanting anyone else to touch “you baby” of a business.

How is this working for you and how long do you think you can sustain this?

Today, I discuss the many reasons why you need to ditch the ‘my business is my baby’ mentality. In order for your business to effectively grow you need to decrease its dependency on you. If you want your business to thrive it’s vital to delegate and allow others to take control of the steering wheel so they can have autonomy over their tasks. If you get separation anxiety every time you relinquish control you could be stunting your business’ growth and put undue stress on yourself and your personal life. When you view your business for what it is, you allow it to grow and develop into its full potential, giving you a sense of satisfaction and achievement instead of separation anxiety.

What You’ll Learn From this Episode:

  • Reasons why you should ditch the ‘my business is my baby’ mentality
  • That when you view your business for what it is, you allow it to grow and develop into its full potential.
  • Your business is an investment to give you the lifestyle you want.

Did you know that selling isn’t about pitching or bringing others around to our ideas but instead about starting a conversation?

Sales is about asking the right questions so that you can get to the root of a potential client’s problem and show them how your business is a solution.

Success in sales doesn’t come down to the ideas you offer, but in the service you provide.

The challenge isn’t to out-talk your lead by sounding like an oily used car salesman, but how to sniff out customer problems before they arise and offer solutions before they’re needed.

Are you struggling to generate consistent revenue from leads due to being completely afraid of the sales process?

Does any of these apply to you:

  • You are afraid to contact a potential lead?
  • Freeze up as soon as you hear a sales objection?
  • Are afraid to raise your prices because you don’t think your client base will be able to afford it?

If you answered yes to any of the above, did you know that this behavior ultimately leads to:

  • Stagnant growth;
  • To high stress levels, burnout, depression, and overwhelm.
  • You to doubt your purpose and your ability to scale your business;

If you never learn how to find your groove during the sales process, what would your business look like in 1 year…5 years…would your business still exist?

Today, I will discuss the mistake we make as women entrepreneurs when we view the sales process as upselling to our clients instead of providing them with a resource that will improve their lives. I will give you the tools you need to understand that you are doing your potential clients a disservice when you let your fear and anxiety around pricing and sales prevent you from serving your clients through your programs.

What You’ll Learn From this Episode:

  • How to overcome your fear the sales process
  • How to use Dr. Naieema’s advice about overcoming your money blocks to close sales without the fear, anxiety, and overwhelm.
  • How to grow comfortable handling sales objections with ease so that you can grow your business to astronomical heights while serving the community that needs you most!

It’s a myth that protecting intellectual property (IP) only benefits larger businesses and is unsuited to smaller companies.

A strategic handling of a company's intangible assets can catapult small, local businesses toward greater global recognition.

In fact, the evidence is that small serviced based businesses that apply for patents, trademarks or designs are more likely to grow quickly and succeed than those that do not!

Are you a serviced based entrepreneur struggling to scale your business due to lack of knowledge on intellectual property?

Which results in:

  • Stress and overwhelm;
  • Stagnant Business Growth;
  • Inability to hire needed staff;
  • Lack of Access to Capital and Funding;
  • The potential for intellectual property theft due to you not properly securing you brands, systems, and processes.

What it also leads to:

  • Increased levels of stress;
  • Potential business failure;
  • Burnout due to constantly having to work to find positive streams of income to funnel into your business.

This can’t be life Sis!

Today, I, Dr. Naieema along with my guests, Erin Austin (Consultant and lawyer who uses her 25+ years of practicing law, including roles as COO and general counsel at IP-driven companies, to help founders of expertise-based businesses turn their income generators into scalable, saleable wealth builders), discuss the importance of Intellectual Property creation and acquisition for small businesses. We spill the tea on the benefits of growing license sales and royalty revenue by trademarking your brand, logo, and processes to help you make bank by creating and sustaining a positive cash flow so that you scale your business and continue to build generational wealth.

What You’ll Learn From this Episode:

  • The value service-based businesses gain from protecting their IP assets
  • How a strategic handling of your company’s intangible assets can catapult it toward greater global recognition.
  • Steps you must take to build you business’ IP, maintain positive streams of income, and how to use them to help scale your business with ease.

There’s something to be said about authenticity in business.

Vulnerability. Imperfection.

It allows us to show up as ourselves, not the cardboard cutouts we think others want to do business with.

The results?

A much enriching and personable work experience and an irresistible magnetism that attracts new clients.

Are you struggling to show up authentically in your business for fear of not being accepted by your target audience?

This leads to:

  • Stagnant growth;
  • Burnout and overwhelm;
  • Underpricing –not charging what you are worth and accepting clients that you know are not ideal for your business simply because you are getting desperate.

What it also leads to:

  • High levels of stress;
  • Feeling of frustration, anxiety and invisibility because you are unable to show up as your authentic self
  • Stagnant business growth and development due to prices that are way too low for the services you are offering and poor visibility to your target market.

How is this working for you and how long do you think you can sustain this?

Today, I will discuss showing up in your business as your true authentic self can actually help you scale your business faster—and with a happier mindset. Being vulnerable is scary and takes practice, but it does pay off! You nurture those relationships, and people don't have a reason to seek services elsewhere. They tell people how cool you are, and then those people want to do business with you.

But best of all? It costs absolutely nothing to be more authentic in business. In some ways, it's the best marketing strategy ever.

What You’ll Learn From this Episode:

  • Tips on how to step into your purpose so that you can grow your business to astronomical heights.
  • How authenticity in business is an asset not an hindrance.
