The post Harness Women’s Wisdom to Thrive in Business, Kami Guildner, Episode 357 appeared first on Kami Guildner.
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.

Today, I’ll be sharing the top 10 success factors that women entrepreneurs like you are using to supercharge their success. I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of women entrepreneurs, many of whom were once corporate executives making the same shift you might be contemplating. In 2021, a staggering 47 million people left the corporate world, and over half of those courageous souls were women. We know the reasons behind this shift, but what’s crystal clear is that we’re rewriting the rules and shaping a new business paradigm where women leaders define success on their own terms.
In this episode:
- I highlight the challenges you could encounter as you transition from your corporate career to becoming an entrepreneur
- The importance of building a solid foundation for your business to streamline and accelerate growth
- The significance of building genuine relationships, collaborating with peers, and creating an ecosystem where everyone can thrive together
- Why it’s crucial to understand your customer’s journey and how it differs from traditional marketing approaches
- The concept of embodying your brand by integrating personal stories, experiences, and expertise into your identity, creating a unique and resonant brand
- Why you need to fearlessly express your opinions, share your expertise, and position yourself as a thought leader
- The benefits of having repeatable marketing and sales processes
- How to create a scalable and straightforward offer that your customers will love
- The value of investing in personal and professional growth as an entrepreneur

Today we celebrate our 300th episode of Extraordinary Women Radio and we’re focused on a new paradigm of entrepreneurship that is grounded in both soul and strategy. The shift to leading our businesses with a more feminine, abundant approach creates more time prosperity and wealth prosperity as we build businesses and lives that we love.
The beauty of this new paradigm of business is that we are creating and building businesses that start with the soul fire and are guided to marketing approaches, aligning with connection and collaboration, and conversations. Women’s wisdom is leading the way. We are raising up our vision, our voices, and our visibility to create a ripple effect of impact on the world, one soul business at a time.
In this episode:
- I talk about the different journeys we’ve had during the pandemic and how it shifted the way we run our business and how we live our lives
- How listening to our soul wisdom brings choices, simplification, and new strategies
- Why women are getting laser focused on a single client journey with a very simplified scope of products serving to help that client
- The importance of collaboration over competition
- How visibility strategies changed
- Why we can’t outsource our leadership of thought
- That self-care is a newly learned skill set for all the women

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!

Storytelling has been an intricate part of my work with clients for years. This week I’m back from spending multiple days on the stage with story. Story on panels, story in my teachings, story in my mastermind programs.
When I started my business 13 years ago, I was really adamant that I wasn’t going to grow my business by speaking because I had this deep, deep fear of stages. When my business coach told me that the fastest way to grow my business is to get on stage, I said, “No, I’m going to grow my my business in other ways.” The ironic thing was I had been teaching people how to be on stages my whole career… I had always been behind the scenes, but not at the front of the room. Oh Lordy… that was a big one to overcome.
A few years later, I wrote my mission statement: To raise up the voices, visibility and businesses of one million women entrepreneurs around the world for impact.
When I wrote that, I realized that I would never reach one million women one-person-by-one-person. I really need to find ways to get over myself in this speaking world and find my way out of it. And so I made a commitment to myself that I was going to dive into this fear. I was going to work with it. So, the right teachers and the right opportunities showed up for me and the rest is history.
Today I love stages. And my business loves it when I’m on stages, because stages have brought nearly a million dollars into my business over the years.
Want to know the number one way I got over my fear? Stories.
I realized that I always knew my stories, and that stories were the windows to our soul.
We all have stories to tell. And the truth is we fall in love with souls, not faces. And when we share our stories, people remember us. Stories help us stand out amongst the noise. And the beautiful thing is that we all have a lifetime of stories that we have accumulated over the years.
I keep a list of story titles from my life:
- The Breath of a Horse
- Getting a Chicken Dinner in Chengdu China
- The Day I Got Laid Off
- When My Marketing Failed Because I Followed All the Shiny Stars
- Too Many Clients
- The Owl
- The Hot Air Balloon Pilot Fell Out of my Balloon
I have found the most amazing ways to weave these stories into my own teachings over the years. I invite you to make a list of stories that stand out in your life and keep a journal.
The process of speaking from our soul vs. our head, dramatically transformed how each woman shared their inner light, their fire. It was easy for the accomplished speakers to show up in their teachings, and they had to go much deeper to trust in the story to come up from the soul without thought. And the beautiful thing is that if we trust that the right story will come up, it will.
There was a visceral energetic difference between someone teaching their content and someone telling a story. Yes, we have to do both – whether it is online, on podcasts, or on stages… but the more we can weave in the story, the more people will remember what you’re teaching. That’s the magic.
Storytelling is an essential element in your brand and how you attract people into your business. If you make space to enrich and weave in your stories into your messaging you will energetically shift your client attraction abilities.
When you think of all of the experiences you’ve had over your lifetime, all of these stories cumulatively, make you WHO you are. This is what makes the brand of YOU unique. No one else has had the same stories you’ve had. That’s why this is so magical. You are lifting the veil to who you are with your stories.
What are some of your favorite story titles? I’d love to hear them!
