On top of that, she is the best friend you turn to for the best deals on her Instagram and website.

She lets us in on her secret of how to negotiate hybrid deals (sponsored + commission rates) smoothly which can be a game changer for your income.

Leanne Barlow has been on Instagram for 15 years, but for the past five years, her growth has topped out. She would grow a hundred followers in a day and she would lose a hundred followers in a day. She was stuck and not growing. Then a few months ago, Leanne reached out to me and we did an Instagram audit and strategy call. Four months later, she has grown 50,000 followers. And she's not stopping. In this episode, we dive into the changes she made and how you can do it too. Just a few of the strategies she implemented are: making her bio more searchable, niching down, and becoming less romantic about the things she's posting. Listen in to hear the rest!

Instagram genius, Taylor Cannon, shares the story of how she and her two business partners, Ashlee and Linley, fought to partner with 100-year-old company Stanley-PMI to resurrect and reimagine their discontinued 40 ounce Quencher. They took a product that was traditionally marketed to an outdoorsy, mostly male customer base and said, "let's make your durable, high quality, hardworking cup in a pink." The Buy Guide girls loved the cup for its functionality and quality, and because they love sharing the best with their followers, they took a leap and went all in to get it into our hands... in pink, and blue, and teal, and...
Taylor tells how their marketing techniques created record breaking sales for Stanley. With the Stanley partnership, they implemented some techniques you can use as well:
- Sell a product that is genuinely great
- Expand your customer base: women 25-55 are the buyers
- Create win-win scenarios, so influencers are incentivized to share your product
- Create a “hero product” that brings people in to buy and expands your bottom line across the board
Taylor stresses the importance of keeping social media as your job and not your life or your identity. Creating boundaries with the use of IG and staying in their chosen lane with the way they share, rather than following the trends, and remembering their goals, has created happiness and balance with the way The Buy Guide operates.

In this episode, I share my secrets for what it took to land a spot teaching Instagram onstage alongside Richard Branson, Daymond John, and Ryan Deiss at the number one event in the US for the AI driven marketer: the Traffic and Conversion Summit in Las Vegas.
The steps to get there are simple, but consistency and a little discomfort are key to making it work.
- Say "yes" to the hard stuff
- Invest in beneficial relationships
- Invest in yourself
- Success breeds success
These steps will help you "get on the stage" with your business, whether it be launching your product, building a community, or whatever your dream.
Check out these podcast interview I did with some of the people I surround myself with:
-My previous episode with Dustin Riechmann, who is the master of teaching how to guest podcast.

In this exciting episode, Dustin Riechmann of 7 Figure Leap shares example after example about how your network is your net worth. Developing relationships with others is a key strategy to business growth. Dustin teaches how guest podcasting will create win-win-win scenarios for everyone involved. As you speak on a podcast, you will gain exposure to your target market with little effort; the audience will receive insights from your interview; and the host wins because her/his audience is being enriched and so her/his influence will grow and downloads increase. Dustin then guides us on how to make these win-win-win scenarios happen through his “5 P Framework”: purpose, plan, pitch, perform, profit. He shares about his 7 Figure Leap Mastermind podcast accelerator that he conducts with a group of 15-20 other entrepreneurs.

Are you feeling stuck in your business? Then this episode is for you. My friend Jaime from The Unstuckologist walks us through how to get unstuck. She teaches us how to come up with better thoughts that can govern our actions so that we can actually grow the business we want. Jaime provides several practical steps you can take now, so that you can make changes today.
"One of the biggest missteps that keeps us stuck is that we try to prevent bad things from happening versus focusing on what we can do to produce what we do want."
"We use our busyness to bypass the emotions, but if we actually get in the emotions, we actually can go a lot farther, a lot faster."

Do you ever create a ton of content and maybe you got a few likes and a few new followers? But you wondered, how is this actually growing my business? We're going to dive into crazy acronyms like KPI and analyze a couple of my posts so that I can show you how to determine what is working and what isn't.
Last year around this time I had 15,000 followers and now I'm at more than 145,000 and I am growing every day. So, what was the big change? This happened when I changed my strategy.

I often get asked, “how do you do at all?” That comment used to bug me. I would shrug it off, but the longer I’m at this marketing business game and the longer I'm a mom, the more I realized that I do have systems that help me run a business, stay home with my kids and keep everyone fed. And the laundry, well, mostly done.
In this episode, I'm pulling the curtain back about what I do in my home, what my kids are in charge of, what I hire out, and when I started doing that. For my business-building mama, this podcast is for you and your friends.

Are you feeling stuck in your business? Then this episode is for you. My friend Jaime from The Unstuckologist walks us through how we get unstuck. She teaches us how to come up with better thoughts that can govern our actions so that we can actually grow the business that we want. Jaime is also very practical and that is why I brought her on because I wanted you to have some practical steps so that you could get unstuck today.

Do you want to know the real reason you're not accomplishing your goal? I hate to say it, but it's all in your head. Accomplishing your goals comes down to how you believe in them. Yes, you need to know stuff and you need to do stuff, but if you don't believe that you can accomplish your goal then you're sunk at the very beginning .

Just don't care what people think! Well, that advice is easier said than done, right? We're trying to start this new business or we're putting ourselves out there or we're doing all of these things that are very much in the public eye.

Today I get to talk to my mindset coach Lisa Funk from Hand Lettered Design. She walks us through how we can get over caring what people think. Lisa is also my guide in figuring this out and figuring out my money mindset and all the other things that are holding me back.

We have never had so much access to up to date information about what is happening in the world. This is a new phenomenon and it's also a new phenomenon to have so much influence.
So what do we do as a brand when there are current events going on, like a war or social justice issues? Do we speak up? Do we not speak up? It seems like it's a catch 22 and there's no right answer. Well, there actually is a right answer and I get to the bottom of it with my friend, Sharon McMahon from Sharon Says So.
This episode was an Instagram Live where I asked Sharon some questions that we can ask ourselves to determine when it's time to speak up and when it's time to just grow our business.

When it comes to your body, she believes in managing your glucose levels better by managing your hormones, your gut health, and your toxicity which is your body's reaction to what you're eating and what you're exposed to. This helps you have better health and a stronger mind and body. She also recommends eating a low refined carbohydrate diet, drinking enough water, and getting enough sleep.

I am declaring 2022 Year of the Money Maker and to make money, we need to keep track of our goals. I am giving you my free goal sheets to help you reach your goals. If you haven't yet, text "Money Maker" to 951-309-7885 to get my free goal planning sheets and to participate in the Year of the Money Maker.
Today I'm walking you though how to use these goal sheets so you can accomplish big things this year. Here are some tips to start making your goals for 2022:
- The first thing when making goals is to figure out your why. You need to have a firm understanding of why you're doing this business.
- Write down what you made in 2021 - be honest and celebrate it! Break down how you made that money.
- Set 3-5 number goals for 2022.
- Create goals for each platform.
- Create 3 goals for every month which should support your overall 3-5 goals for the year.
I am going to be checking in with you at the end of every month to see how your goals went and to see how much money you made so we can reach our community goal of $1,000,000. And of course, I want to know what you did with your money because every dollar counts and when women make money, they make magic.
I'm not weird about money. This is a mantra that I have had for the last few years and it has completely changed my life. But sometimes talking about money can make people feel a little bit weird. The truth of the matter is, if you feel called to this business and it's what you should be doing, then making money matters.
I also have some big things coming up for 2022. I'm declaring 2022 as the year of the Money Maker! We're going to make our goals, track our goals, and then we're going to celebrate our goals.
To get the goal sheet tracker, text "Money Maker" to 951-309-7885.
And I'd still love for you to join me in Money Makers! https://iammichellegifford.com/moneymakers

Summer is here, my friends. This is my favorite and the busiest time of the year. When I lived in Arizona and was just a mom to one, I started a tradition.
Get your summer planner here: www.iammichellegifford.com/summerschedule Instagram: www.instagram.com/iammichellegifford My husband was in medical school and Arizona summers were HOT! So, I packed up my car and took my baby to Utah for a whole month while my husband got in all the studying he needed to do. This was a win-win for both of us. He really didn't have time to hang out with us and I was so tired of being in 115 degrees.
Since then, I have taken my kids away to Utah for the summer every year. This month riding horses and playing on the ranch where I grew up is the month that we live for and dream about all year long. But, just because I am scheduled to party this summer, doesn't mean that I won't be getting work done.
I try very hard to balance time with my kids, having fun and getting work done so that my business keeps going and growing. Because of this, I have created a system on how to create the perfect 8 hour work week for me. This system gives me the flexibility and accountability I need to get my work done ahead of time and turn my business on autopilot when I need to.
Before I jump in, let me tell you how this works. I will not begin to guess what your summer looks like. Some of my readers have little kids, some have older, some don't have kids at all. This system is flexible. It will help you make big decisions up front so that you can fit in work where it feels the best. I've called it the 8 hour work week, but it can be more or less depending on how much time you are able to give. So, I will be giving you an example of how I use it, but mix it up and do what works for you.
