Today on the podcast we have Jessica Yarbrough, The Mompreneur Coach. Jessica is a successful entrepreneur, marketing strategist, and business coach who helps other women create high-end coaching programs so they can create their own amazing enterprises.

We’re talking about how to shift your mindset to not only own your worth but charge the big bucks for your offers. We dive into talking about the best practices of whether you should charge hourly rates or bundle up your offers in premium, high-end packages. Jessica shares all about how she was able to build her six figure coaching business without fancy funnels, without a large email list, and without spending any money on ads. So you grass-roots people who think that a premium business with premium services and offerings is out of your reach if you’re not putting a whole bunch of money into it, we know you are really going to like this episode!

We are coming in with a little light episode today. Actually, it might not be so light with the questions that have been coming in right now. We get a crap ton of questions from you guys all the time, both personal and business related, and usually we have already recorded or written something about it. But sometimes we just get this kind of hodgepodge of questions from you guys that just don’t quite fit into any particular topic.

So today we decided to tackle them in a Q&A format. This isn’t fancy, it isn’t organized, but it is going to answer those burning questions that y’all have for us! We are just going to go down the list and answer your questions, one by one. We are giving the people what they want. As simple as that!

Today on the podcast, be prepared to laugh a lot because Allison Marshall is a handful. We had a ton of fun interviewing her, as we go back a while. We met up with her for coffee sometime last year and since then, we have partnered up on a few creative projects and it has been really fun to see her and her business grow as she’s transitioned from a full-time wedding photographer into teaching other creative entrepreneurs how to grow a profitable online business. She is here to share her story and the steps that she took to make all of that happen, so if that’s something that you’re wanting to be doing, then this is the episode for you.

Be sure to listen to how Allison transitioned from wedding photography to online sales. We also talk about the things that actually helped her make it happen, like getting people on her list and attracting the right kind of people. She shares her thoughts and processes on being yourself in your brand and things you can create for an opt-in to get people on your list, and also does a quick brainstorm of all the different tactics that she uses and how she is successful at getting people on her list. You can copy and paste those with some freebies that we’re mentioning today! We had a lot of giggles, a lot of passionate yelling and a really good time. Can’t wait for you to get into this one.

As you may or may not know, we had a Five Days to Launch Challenge earlier this June and we ran it literally just for five days, but we did a lot of promotion leading up to it and we wanted to talk to you today about everything that worked, the things we would've changed, how our engagement went throughout and how it's affected our launch so far. While recording this podcast, we’re literally still in the middle of launching, so can't give you final numbers, but we can tell you what we think it did in the beginning. We’re excited to jump in.

We are going to talk all about the challenges of launching and how to use these challenges to launch better, faster, stronger, awesomer, and smarter. We also dive into how to build more engagement, be more valuable, get more people on your list, and have a damn fun time doing it! So if you are ready to have some fun while making some money, then you better not miss this episode.

Today on the podcast, we have Dana Malstaff of Boss Mom. She is a mother, author, business owner, content strategist, coach, podcaster and blind spot reducer. Dana is a big deal! We have known Dana for quite some time now, but she has been guiding moms all over the internet for a while and helping them nurture their businesses and figure out this whole game of growing an empire while growing a family.

We’re covering a lot today, trying to get to all the topics and questions that you guys have brought up over and over but we just haven’t been equipped to deal with yet. So we brought on Dana to cover the good stuff, like how the heck do you handle mom guilt and business guilt? Can you actually build an empire with little ones at home? What’s this whole myth of balance, and what can we reframe our mindsets around in order to make sure that we are being awesome parents and awesome business owners and awesome people in general? We’re talking about some really great tactical items that you guys are going to walk away with to really let go of that guilt, and reframe your focus around what you are doing in parenthood and business ownership.

You guys, today is kind of an incredible day. We are introducing you to our newest creation, The Strategy Academy.

Today, we’re going to introduce you to the Strategy Academy, we’re going to walk you through what’s inside, why it’s amazing and kind of explain more of the choose your own adventure that we have built inside this program. This will help make those decisions a little easier and really give you some guidance as to what you’re going to get out of the program and why we invested so much time and energy into it.

Sagan and her now business partner launched their podcast in seven days and today we’re going through the steps of how they made that happen, how they figured out the tech, and how they landed a sponsor.
