5: #5 Why Email Marketing Matters So Much
Do you have an email list? This is the no.1 question that will either make you roll your eyes (because everyone is telling you that you should start an email list), or excite you (because you are consistently sending out emails and have seen the benefits of having an email list in your business).
I love email marketing. I sent my first marketing email in 2012 and I’ve been sending them consistently ever since. It’s the tool that has brought me the most clients. That’s why in today’s podcast episode, I talk about why you need to use email marketing in your business, why you shouldn’t rely on social media only, how to get started with email marketing, and much more!
In this episode, I chat about:
Why sending emails is the fastest and easiest way to grow your business
Why relying on social media marketing is a vulnerable position to be in
Why email marketing better than social media marketing
How to start an email list
My favourite email marketing tool

4: #4 Engage Goblin Mode (AKA Self-Care In Business)
Have you ever heard of goblin mode? No? Well, I only heard the expression recently because ‘goblin mode’ has been made the Oxford Dictionary word of the year for 2022.

I talk about what exactly is goblin mode, why you should embrace it, why it’s unsustainable to be in hustle mode 24/7, how to implement self-care in your business, and much more!
In this episode, I chat about:
What is goblin mode?
Why you can’t be in hustle mode, AKA beast mode, 24/7
How to embrace goblin mode and still run a business
What self-care in business actually looks like
Things that you can do to implement self-care in your business today

Running a business can be really complicated. It’s tiring, overwhelming, with many ups and downs, and it takes a lot of trial and error before you figure out how to make your business work for you.

So whenever you feel overwhelmed, I want you to remember that, and hopefully, it will take the pressure off you. Join me in today's podcast episode as I go into more detail about why happiness and profit are the two most important factors in your business, how you measure happiness, how to calculate profit, when you should rethink your business model, and much more!

2: #2 Why You Need A Vision And A Goal
Are you happy with the way you run your business? Are you aligned with where you are right now and where you are heading in your business? Or do you feel overwhelmed, overworked and frustrated? I want you to go back to basics today so you can gain more clarity, focus, and a better understanding of yourself and your business.
Social media makes us feel like we should do everything and be everything. We know the expectations are unrealistic, but sometimes we get lost in the social media noise anyway. That’s why in this podcast episode, I ask you a couple of coaching questions to understand your “why” behind your business, what actions you're taking to achieve your goals, encourage you to reflect on your journey so far, and much more!
In this episode, I chat about:
Why do you need a vision for your business?
Why should you think about what your life and business look like?
What is your end goal for your business?
The difference between a vision and a goal
How focused are you on your vision right now?
Consequences of looking for answers on social media
Reflecting on what you achieved until now in your business
