I am fortunate to get to speak to hundreds of women entrepreneurs every year, and I hear it time and time again. Women want to have businesses that not only generate prosperity for their lives and homes but also provide the time freedom to live a life built around what’s important to them. They want to do business differently.
If you’ve been tuning in to me at all over the past year, you’ve heard me speak about creating more time prosperity and wealth prosperity in your business. Today, I want to talk about what this means… what are the foundations that you need in your business to bring about more time prosperity and wealth prosperity, and what you need to do to set this up for your business.
But what do these terms really mean, and how can they transform our approach to business and life?
Understanding Time Prosperity
Time prosperity is about creating spaciousness in our schedules, allowing for big-picture thinking, downtime, and self-care. It’s the practice of ensuring that our lives are not constantly rushed, giving our nervous systems the chance to rest and rejuvenate. This slower, more deliberate pace enables us to transition smoothly between work and personal time, preventing burnout and promoting overall well-being.
In practical terms, time prosperity means setting boundaries, simplifying our business, saying no to non-essential tasks, and prioritizing what truly matters. It’s about designing our days with intention, carving out moments for reflection, creativity, and rest. This approach not only enhances our productivity but also enriches our personal lives, providing the balance we need to thrive.
Embracing Wealth Prosperity
Wealth prosperity goes beyond the traditional notion of financial success. While making money is important, wealth prosperity encompasses a broader, more holistic view of abundance. It involves enriching every aspect of our lives, from investing in meaningful experiences and nurturing relationships to prioritizing personal growth and self-discovery.
This type of prosperity allows us to create a life filled with joy, fulfillment, and freedom. It’s about having the resources and opportunities to pursue our passions, support our loved ones, and give back to our communities. Wealth prosperity encourages us to use our financial success as a tool to enhance our overall quality of life and make a positive impact in the world.
The Journey to Building a Prosperous Business
Building a business that supports both time and wealth prosperity is no easy feat. It requires time, patience, and, yes, hard work. I often speak with hundreds of women entrepreneurs each year, and a common theme emerges: success is not handed to us on a silver platter. It’s earned through dedication, resilience, and a willingness to navigate challenges.
The women I encounter in my community are living proof that we can do hard things. They’ve faced obstacles, celebrated victories, and continuously evolved their businesses.
As we navigate this exciting new era in business, I encourage you to reflect on what time and wealth prosperity mean for you. How can you create more space in your life for what truly matters? How can you use your financial resources to enrich your life and the lives of others?
Join me at the 10th Anniversary Extraordinary Women Ignite Conference, where we’ll delve deeper into these concepts and explore practical strategies to build businesses that embody time and wealth prosperity. This event is a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded women, learn from inspiring leaders, and ignite your passion for making a difference.
Let’s embrace the power of time and wealth prosperity, and together, create a future where our businesses not only succeed but also support our well-being and joy.

We’re in the midst of a monumental shift, where women’s wisdom is emerging as the medicine our earth truly needs. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a fundamental change in how we approach life and business. It’s about integrating work and living in a way that truly works for us, moving away from traditional, rigid structures to a more balanced, harmonious way of living and working. Success is now measured not just by financial gain but by the richness of our lives and the impact we make.
Back in 2021, I shared a profound story on Extraordinary Women Radio about this very shift. Indigenous elders, like Dr. Anita Sanchez, have long spoken of this transformative era. During an interview with Dr. Sanchez, she discussed her book, The Four Sacred Gifts: Indigenous Wisdom for Modern Times, and shared insights from a gathering with thirteen indigenous elders in Kauai. They predicted these intense times and emphasized the important role women would play in leading this energetic shift from masculine-dominant systems to a balanced blend of feminine and masculine energies.
This isn’t just about astrology or planetary alignments, though those shifts are happening too! It’s about acknowledging the real, palpable change in how we approach business, leadership, and life. The energy is indeed shifting, and we, as women, are being called to step into our power, our voice, and embrace our gifts, leading with authenticity and compassion.
What Does It Mean to Do Business Differently?
For too long, the business world has focused on competition, relentless growth, and profit at all costs. While these elements are not inherently negative, they often lead to burnout, a lack of work-life balance, and a disconnection from what truly matters. As women, we bring a unique perspective that values collaboration, empathy, and sustainability.
Doing business differently means prioritizing relationships over transactions. It means building connections with our clients, colleagues, and communities that are based on mutual respect and genuine care. We focus on creating environments where everyone can thrive, where success is shared, and where there’s room for everyone’s voice and ideas.
It also means embracing a holistic approach to success. We measure our achievements not just by the bottom line but by the quality of our lives, the joy we experience, and the positive impact we have on the world. This shift is about integrating our personal and professional lives in a way that honors all aspects of who we are.
The Role of Intuition and Heart-Centered Leadership
Another key aspect of doing business differently is embracing intuition and heart-centered leadership. This involves trusting our instincts, listening to our inner voice, and making decisions that align with our values and purpose. It’s about leading with empathy and compassion, understanding that business is not just about numbers but about people—real human beings with hopes, dreams, and challenges.
Heart-centered leadership means creating a culture of inclusivity and support, where people feel valued and empowered to bring their whole selves to work. It’s about being transparent, ethical, and accountable, building trust through our actions and words.
Creating a Ripple Effect of Positive Change
As more women step into leadership roles, we are creating a ripple effect of positive change. We are challenging outdated norms and proving that there is another way to succeed—a way that is inclusive, compassionate, and sustainable. We are redefining what it means to be powerful, showing that true power comes from being authentic, empathetic, and collaborative.
In this new paradigm, we are not just building businesses; we are building movements. We are creating communities that uplift and inspire, where we support each other in our journeys and celebrate each other’s successes. We are making a difference not just in our own lives but in the world around us.
Now more than ever, it’s time for us to embrace this new way of doing business. Let’s harness the power of our collective wisdom, our unique gifts, and our shared vision for a better world. Let’s continue to lead with heart, compassion, and authenticity, creating businesses that not only bring prosperity but also contribute to the well-being of our communities and our planet.
I invite you to join me at the 10th Anniversary Extraordinary Women Ignite Conference, where we’ll dive deep into how we can do business differently. This event is not just a conference; it’s a gathering of like-minded women who are passionate about creating a new paradigm in business. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies and soulful insights to build businesses that are not only successful but also aligned with our values and dreams.
At Ignite, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with an inspiring community of women, learn from thought leaders, and discover how to integrate Soul+Strategy into your business. It’s a chance to recharge, refocus, and reignite your passion for making a difference.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a movement that is reshaping the business landscape. Let’s do business differently, and let’s do it together. Join us at Extraordinary Women Ignite and be a part of this transformative experience.

When I think about the growing up of my company – there are several elements that have contributed to this evolution. I’ve time-tested these in my own business and my client’s businesses. My desire is to give you some guide rails that you can apply to your business. So often it’s minute shifts in the good work we’re already doing that can make all the difference… sometimes it’s even doing less of one thing so that you can make more impactful choices with your time.
Today, I will share with you mindful strategies that give my business a rock-solid foundation.
- The Declaration of a Strong Vision and Mission
I’m on a mission To raise up the voices, visibility and businesses of one million women entrepreneurs around the world for impact. My vision is a ripple effect of women’s wisdom changing the world, one soul business at a time because I believe that women’s wisdom is the medicine our earth needs.
So what is your mission and your vision? What are your values? I’d love to hear from you on this question because the ripple effect that we’re doing together is powerful. What’s the impact that you want to create? And vision not only stands for the ripple effect on our communities, for the individuals we serve, for the world but also for our own lives.
- A SMART Business Model
Simplicity
This means simplicity in how you run your business. Choose a set or products that are simple, and do not have too many products. The simplicity of marketing is another side of it, choose the kind of marketing that you want and be good at doing that kind of marketing. When we think about how we market our business, we’re always hearing somebody coming at us with the fastest way to grow your business, you have to do it this way and you have to follow this formula. And I’d say no to all of that. It’s like really finding your lane and doing your lane well.
Market
Get to know your market, get into your customer’s journey, and know exactly what it is that brings them into your life when they come to you, where they’re at, and what’s the stories they’re in at that moment. Speak your client’s love language and help them be able to see where they’re going to go in order to build a connection with your soul client.
Ascending Premium Offer
Build the right business model to set yourself up for success, do the math, and know what your time is worth. Have the type of business model where you know your customer journey, the problems you’re helping them solve, and how you’re helping them overcome that. Help them look to the future, to what they are really desiring. And in order for them to get there, you have this amazing package that helps them get there.
Having an ascending premium-priced offer means that the first product that they come in to work with you on may not be that premium-priced offer but it’s the it’s the first step to that journey that you take your clients on and then the next offer is that second step so you have the next logical place for them to land to do more work with you because they have already started to build that know love and trust factor with you.
Repeatable
Have tools and assets to bring people into your business that you can re-leverage. For example, I have my Ignite Conference that I have done every single year and this will be my ninth year of doing it. It brings people into my community and brings people into my business. And it’s also a beautiful way that I can just refine, I can get better at what I’m doing. If you have good clarity on what you stand for in your messaging, you can repurpose your content in different ways.
Time Prosperity
When I think about time prosperity, this is not only a white space on our calendar, I strongly believe we have to have plenty of white space on our calendar so that we can do our biggest thinking, we can do our CEO work. But the other side of that is the energetics of time prosperity. And energetics of time prosperity is how you move between meetings, it’s how you are ending your day and taking a pause before you move into the activities of the evening. Pause, slow down. If we’re always rushing, we are not in time prosperity no matter how much white space is on your calendar. It’s the energetics of time prosperity that really changes how we can serve.
- Ownership of your Leadership of Thought
Find clarity in what it is that you want your voice to stand for. My mission and vision really helped to define this and even more so a deeper connection to my customer’s journey to me. Start to make space to develop our own leadership of thought. That leadership of thought, what it is that we stand for, what messages need to be heard in the world, and the connection to our soul clients waiting to find us. I had to learn that you can’t outsource your leadership of thought. This is something that has to come from within. Are you still following the marketing formulas and spitting out messages that sound just like everyone else? True leadership requires you to go inside and develop your own thoughts. Give yourself some soulful space to hear what messages want to flow from you, and you may be surprised at what shows up.
- Igniting the Fire
Once you are aligned with your vision, you’ve set up your SMART business strategies in place so that you’ve got a solid business model, and you’ve brought your leadership of thought to life, it’s time to add some fire, my friends. This is the mixture of inner work, self-care, and nurturing of our soul, and combining that with outer visibility. That means showing up and being seen in all of our brightest light. There’s no hiding in our inner fire. This goes way beyond merely having confidence. The true transformation comes when we embody this fire and share our voice. This is the alchemy moment.
And this is what we do at Extraordinary Women Prosper, my friends. You will find clarity in the vision of your business, you will learn SMART Business Models that raise up your time prosperity and wealth prosperity, you will find clarity in your leadership of thought and soul client messaging and you will ignite the fire of you.
Join us on May 24th. Get all the details here. It’s time to raise up your voice, your vision and your visibility, and do it in a way that transforms how you and our world do business. We’re being called my friend!

As a woman in the traditionally male-dominated field of wine, Jessica Kogan faced numerous challenges, including microaggressions and a lack of respect. However, instead of letting these obstacles defeat her, she used them as fuel to grow stronger and ultimately became a powerful force in her career. Her unwavering determination and resilience have taught her the power of self-belief, ultimately helping her find her voice and inspiring others to do the same.
In This Episode:
- Jessica talks about the unique obstacles faced by women in the traditionally male-centric wine industry
- Know the importance of transparency and engaging storytelling in successful wine marketing
- Discover the art of effectively juggling motherhood, career, and entrepreneurship for a fulfilling life
- Achieve personal growth and empowerment by tapping into your inner voice
Jessica Kogan’s career began with a bang, helping brands like Donna Karan, Elizabeth Arden, and Urban Decay develop communications strategies and reinvigorate their image. But she was also forming a healthy obsession with something novel at that time: the internet. Ultimately, the call of opportunity coming from the digital world became too loud to ignore, so she picked up. After continued success aiding major players like Prada, Gucci, and Giorgio Armani in carving out their digital niches, she found herself ready for something new. She co-founded Cameron Hughes Wine and never looked back. Twenty-one years later, it remains a leader in DTC wine sales — and Jessica, now serving as their Chief Growth & Experience Officer, remains a strategy powerhouse within it and all brands nestled under the Vintage Wine Estates umbrella.
“I just would like to see more women around the table so that there’s more of an equal balance and so that we could actually get our best work done.”~Jessica Kogan

Today I’m diving in with Randi Braun where we talk about women leaving behind the hustle culture – whether they stay in their corporate jobs and move to something better or take the leap to launch their own business. The great resignation is happening for a reason… women are burnt out. We’re being called to do life differently.

I am a big fan of the work of the Women’s Foundation across our nation. I have sat on the trustee board and served the Colorado Women’s Foundation for over a decade. And while I am an honorary trustee now and no longer an active board member, I believe in its mission and vision more than ever. A future where Colorado women and girls of every background and identity prosper.
Some of the proudest professional moments of my life are sparked by my engagement with the Women’s Foundation of Colorado. The work the organization is making from philanthropic giving, meaningful research and essential advocacy work, to creating systematic changes in our state is near and dear to my heart.
As we wrap up this Women’s History Month, I’m excited to introduce you to Christina Gordon, a co-founder and CEO of the Women’s Foundation of Boston. When Christina reached out to me for an interview, I was an instant yes! She had come across research that had indicated that only 1.9% of all charitable giving in the US is directed toward nonprofits that serve women and girls and that investing in women is high-impact investing. The data shows that investing in women has a multiplier effect. Women reinvest 90% of their incomes in their families and their communities, creating positive economic returns across generations and throughout communities.
In This Episode:
- Christina talks about how they started the Women’s Foundation of Boston
- The massive underinvestment in women and girls domestically
- How they impacted thousands of Greater Boston women and girls
- Their mission on creating and funding economically empowering programming for Greater Boston women and girls
- She enumerated how they support women and girls
- Their focus of funding on programming that will really yield high salaries
- She shares one of the stories from an organization they funded that stands out for her
- Why investing in women has lifted up entire communities
Christina Gordon is a former assistant fund manager and technology industry equity analyst. Seeing a huge opportunity to make a difference in her community, she and her team joined together to start the Women’s Foundation of Boston. She is a trustee of a private foundation, a member of Women Moving Millions and currently sits on the board of Rosie’s Place, a sanctuary for poor and homeless women in Boston.
“Investing in women really is one of the strongest indicators for a successful economy.” ~Christina Gordon

I am thrilled to collaborate with AngeLink.

Select fundraisers will have the chance to receive a $1,000 Angel Grant from the AngeLink Community Foundation to support their business’s or nonprofit’s fundraiser.
- Timeline: This partnership will run from mid-February 2023 through the end of March 2023.
- Audience/participants: Kami Guildner’s community (which spans many forms) and other Denver women’s communities.
- Eligibility: Interested participants must have an active business or business idea, must set up a fundraiser on the AngeLink platform, and must include “#EWC” (short for Extraordinary Women Connect) in their fundraiser title to be considered for an Angel Grant. Apply to the AngeLink Platform here. Be sure to post your active campaign on the Extraordinary Women Connect Facebook Community so that we can support your fundraising efforts!

- Angel Grants: In an effort to support female entrepreneurs, the AngeLink Community Foundation will donate to the cause! ACF is looking to give one merit-based $1,000 grant to the campaign organizer(s) who successfully raise $2,000 or more on AngeLink, per group of ten fundraisers that meet or exceed their $2,000 goal. (i.e. If twenty #EWC fundraisers are created and reach their goal, AngeLink Community Foundation will issue two Angel Grants. In any case, the maximum number of Angel Grants given would be five.)

Many of us have had the honor to be a caretaker for loved ones in their final days of life. It was just five years ago that I had this journey with my sister. That time was filled with sorrow. It was filled with love and some of the most special moments of my life that I will forever cherish.
It’s an honor to introduce you to my dear friend, Lynn Abaté-Johnson. She shares her journey and her story with you which I know will touch your heart. This past fall, she launched her new book, Out Of Love a Daughter’s Journey With Her Mom to the End, sharing her story of being a caretaker to her mother. After being a primary caretaker to her mother for over six years, she understands the typhoon of emotions and responsibilities that comes with caring for a loved one. However, she discovered how to blossom through caregiving rather than let it drown her.
In This Episode:
- Lynn shares her feelings when her book was launched and how she’s learning and practicing what she’s learning along the way
- Her realization that not all who went through the same journey have the same privileges
- She talks about her online community where people can gather and talk about the similarities and differences in their caregiving experiences
- How she learned that there are things in life that she cannot predict and control including sickness and death
- She shares her mission and purpose to reveal new horizons to help people understand that there are more possibilities and perspectives available as people try to navigate through unforeseen circumstances.
- The tools that will give emotional and logical support to caregivers
- The importance of taking a pause and trusting and being patient with yourself
Lynn Abaté-Johnson is an author, Speaker, Global Business Consultant, Kickass Community Director, and Social Media Marketing Specialist. She’s been building businesses from the ground up since she was 9 years old. Lynn has leveraged her business experience to empower and inspire others in their personal lives as well.
Today, as part of her devotion to developing communities, she speaks with cohorts of caregivers to help them discover they’re not alone, everything’s going to be ok, and there are tools they can use to ease the burdens they might feel as caregivers. By using her natural organizational skills and her solid work ethic, she developed systems and processes to help navigate the difficult journey of caregiving. Her book, Out of Love: A Daughter’s Journey With Her Mom To The End, provides care for caregivers by giving them the emotional and logistical support they need.
“People are exactly where they need to to be when they need to be there.” ~Lynn Abaté-Johnson

Women’s wisdom is the medicine our earth needs.
As women, we all have an inner firedancer that burns brightly and is full of life. When we embody the energetic presence of the firedancer, the possibilities are abundant, especially in our business. And I am so honored by the many extraordinary women who are entering my mastermind programs as we kick off this new year – some women new to me, and others I’ve known for years and am honored they have chosen me as their guide in this new year. I’m excited for the voices that will come into the world… in leadership, in thought, in impact. As I look across the businesses represented in the circles, I know that their work is needed in the world and that there are people awaiting to find them… right now. I’m excited about the expansion of their business and what that will mean to their lives, and the lives of those touched by her work… It’s the ripple effect and it’s why I love the work I get to do in this world. There’s still time to join us, so if you want to learn more jump out to coachingwithkami.com and apply.
These past few weeks have given me time to reflect on what has worked in my business and my client’s businesses, as well as look at the trends I see coming.
Today, I thought I’d bring some of these insights to you.
- The Great BreakupThere are many reasons why more and more women are saying goodbye to their corporate jobs and stepping into the world of being an entrepreneur according to McKinsey’s recent research. Women leaders are just as ambitious as men and it’s increasingly important that they work for companies that prioritize flexibility, employee well-being, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
It will be 15 years this year since I left my VP of Marketing job behind me, and it’s been the most tremendous journey of growth, evolution, and expansion than I have ever gone on in my life. The ripple effect of my work today is tremendously more impactful than it ever was during my corporate days.
I believe this trend of women leaving their corporate jobs to own their own voice and impact will continue. We have discovered new freedoms, new power, and new ways to lead – and that is one of the gifts we give our world as we learn to show up in the world in our new light.
I love that I have discovered a sweet spot in my own business of helping former corporate escapees accelerate their growth back to their former corporate salaries, leveraging our past success and communities, but doing it in an entirely different energy… one connected to soul wisdom and leading in new ways… defining a slower and more grounded way in life, trusting our intuition and letting her guide us… a journey to time prosperity and wealth prosperity!
- Streamline and SimplifySavvy successful entrepreneurs will continue to streamline and simplify their businesses in smart ways.
They’ve built smart and scalable business models that solve their soul client’s biggest challenges. They have found clarity in their voice – their brand and marketing messaging, because there is laser-focused clarity in who they serve and what their biggest needs are.
Some questions you might ask yourself as you look into your 2023 include: Are there products you want to release in 2023? Have you mapped your customer journey – why people come into your business, what their most expensive problems are, what their biggest desires are? How do these answers shift as they go deeper into their journey with you? Do you have a high-value offer that helps your client in that journey?
I invite you to look at your brand, your marketing, and your products and ask yourself these questions. It’s a great opportunity to finetune some of these fundamental basics in your business. We always have space to refine our businesses, no matter the stage of your business.
- Community and Deeper ConnectionI see the expanding importance of relationships and community. What’s key here is the relationship. Where and how can you build deeper relationships? This isn’t a high-volume game, but rather, selecting a community where you feel alignment and connection. Building your own communities. Getting to know people at a deeper level. Building strategic partnerships.
As you look at your own circles of community, start with your own community – how are you engaging your clients and circles of influence? Are there ways you can bring more magic to that space? How can you create more meaningful connections among the many in your circles?
Then look to the communities in which you are a member. Here I will remind you to simplify, for you can’t build deep connections with a half dozen communities all at once. Remember the key is relationship. Select 1 or 2 and then engage… deeply.
- Thought LeadershipYou can’t outsource your leadership of thought. Only you can bring your wisdom to life. It is only you that has your unique set of experiences that makes your wisdom yours.
What does this mean? It means making dedicated space in your business to think. To brainstorm. To mindmap. To write. To bring your ideas to life.
Once you have a framework around your ideas and messages … I call this a content strategy … you can leverage hired resources to share these ideas, but the compilation of voice and vision is yours to design. I’ve seen too many people… myself included… turn over their marketing and messaging before it was really ready to be leadership quality… and what happens is that the message just gets lost in the noise. You sound like everyone else, and you lose your beautiful, soulful connection to some of your most powerful wisdom.
In our world where information flows readily and easily, we are inundated with so many messages. In order to stand out from the noise, the leaders of today and tomorrow will be the ones who have found clarity in meaningful content and stories that connect to their audience. Make the space for you to be in your thought leadership messaging. Build upon it. Speak to it. And repurpose it.
- ResiliencyThis ties back to #1 on this list for sure. The women leaving corporate America left because they were burnt out and exhausted from trying to fit into a culture that didn’t work for them.
I know that it’s really easy to fall back into the doing it all patterns that we started as executives, and apply this to our business. And the truth is … we can’t do our best work if we allow that to happen. In fact, when I say that Women’s Wisdom is the medicine our earth needs, I am speaking of how we are changing and leading the work cultures of tomorrow.
What I see happening in the world of women entrepreneurs is that they are catching themselves when they start to fall back into these old patterns, and they are redesigning ways of operating their businesses, making self-care space for themselves – in mindfulness, movement, and spirituality. They are learning to listen to her inner wisdom and intuition and allowing her to be a key influence in her day-to-day decisions. Basically, her intuition is taking a seat at her board table, along with her mentors and strategic partners.
As women, we are shapeshifting how business is done… with soul and with strategy. We are getting better at setting boundaries, saying no, and defining our own pathways – for the sake of ourselves and our families first, and our communities and our world second. This is why women’s wisdom is the medicine our earth needs.
And in order to step into our calling, we have to tend to our inner light first. And from this space, we create our own resiliency and the resiliency of businesses for the future.
Tell me how you will be shifting in your world for 2023, let me know how I can support you in your journey to wild success, and connect with me.
