Manifestation, especially “money manifestation,” seems like a buzzword that’s been making its rounds on the internet lately. But what is it, really? And do CFOs (like me) actually believe in its power? Let’s dive in!

Soooo… first things first, what does money manifestation even mean?

Manifestation is the act of bringing something into existence. It’s often said that we manifest our own reality through our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Notice how it says it requires thoughts, feelings… AND action? Yeah, unfortunately, a lot of people still misconstrue manifestation as some sort of magical power. They think that if they simply visualize what they want hard enough, it’ll just appear out of thin air.

As an Enneagram 3 and a ‘show me the numbers’ kind of person, I’m not particularly prone to believe in things that I can’t see or quantify. So, you could just imagine how I felt when I first heard about manifestation and its supposed power to help you manifest the life of your dreams.

But here’s the thing: I do believe that what we focus on expands.

So, if I want to boost my income and make it sustainable, guess where I focus my attention on? You got that right! I focus on money. Where is it coming from, how can we give our numbers a boost… you get the idea! And you know what happened? MONEY STARTED FLOODING IN.

Ready to manifest the same in your life and biz? Join me in this episode, as I talk about some real-life accounts of how abundance has showed itself in my life and in my business. Let me share with you an easy money manifestation tip, one that you can start practicing today!

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What is money manifestation
• Do CFOs believe in manifesting money
• Why you need to focus on what you want to attract
• The power of gratitude and taking aligned action towards your goals

Something that a lot of people don’t realize about running a successful business is that oftentimes, taking things slow is usually the best way to achieve sustainable growth.

And why is that?

Imagine if you’re trying to run a marathon. You can’t just go out and sprint the whole thing. If you try to do too much too quickly, chances are you’re going to end up burning yourself out before you even cross the finish line. The same goes for business. If you try to grow too quickly, you might end up making a lot of mistakes or bite off more than you can chew and end up spreading yourself too thin.

This week’s guest, Jennifer Morilla, knows a thing or two about setting a business up for success… but as with all the greats, that did not come without growing pains.

In fact, it took several years’ worth of mindset shifts and learning some tough life lessons before she was finally able to create the business and life of her dreams. And though her journey wasn’t always rainbows and unicorns, she’s grateful for everything she’s gone through because it has made her the strong, resilient woman she is today.

So, join us in this episode, as Jen opens up about her business coach origin story, and some of the biggest life lessons she’s learned along the way. She also shares how you can leverage your audience, the importance of setting boundaries, and so much more!

“If you don’t have boundaries… it is a recipe for disaster” – Jennifer Morilla

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Jennifer’s journey into building her online coaching business
• Mindset shifts and lessons she learned during her pivoting phase
• How to do better at leveraging your audience

Selling your business can be a daunting task and it is in fact a long process.

Whether you’re looking to have extra hours at your disposal or simply trying to move on to your next venture, there are quite a lot of things you need to consider before placing your business on the market.

So, if the thought has ever crossed your mind, then this is a great way to start navigating this transition!

Join me in this episode,  as I share my thoughts on how you can get things in order, and what important things you’ll need to consider before signing that sale.

Major things you need to consider when selling your business (or just considering it!):

How efficient are your business operations

• Your Role – As the CEO of your company, you have got to assess if all of the processes are reliant on you. What we don’t want is the business being too dependent on you. And if it is, then you need to find a more efficient way to delegate these revenue-generating tasks. The business should be able to run without relying on you to check every single step or decision.
• Your Team – A strong foundation can operate together if you have a clear cut of the process you’ve done. There are a lot of things that your team can do if you delegate tasks. What we actually did is to cross-train my team for the role that I have been doing for years. So, now, even if I’m on vacation, we can easily handle transactions without waiting on me to get back.
• Your Business – This is something that you might have done already and that is your business process. You need to know whether the process that you have right now is in its best state. Make note of the redundancies, and find ways to streamline or automate these workflows. 

How are your finances 

• Bookkeeping – Anyone investing or planning to buy another business would definitely dig up every record you have and this can be a lot. The big numbers are what you need to know. EBITDA is one of the things that you really have to be aware of. Make sure to separate the revenues and categorize the expenses your business has.
  
• Cash Flow – Be aware of the ins and outs of every penny that goes through your business. What does your cash position look like? Most of the time, investors would want to see your numbers. If it’s consistently high, low, or if it’s like a roller coaster. If you understand it, then you can talk about it better if you’re selling your business
• Burn Rate – As much as the revenue would be tempting, there’s the other side of it which is an expense and these are what the clients would check on in order to know the cost of running the business on a day-to-day basis, monthly or even annually. You have to know which ones are core business operating expenses vs other business expenses that are possibly not applicable to another owner.
• Accounting Method – It could be cash or accrual method. There are businesses that choose a cash method which means that the transactions are recorded once it goes in and out of the bank and there are also business owners who prefer an accrual method which would be recording the transactions as it was incurred. These two have their own pros and cons so you would need to think about them before transitioning one to the other.

There’s no one way of doing this, but hopefully these help you be prepared the moment you’ve decided to sell your business.

“Making sure you have a crystal clear look at all of those numbers for yourself is really important… and even if you don’t want to sell your business, you have just gained more insight you could use to help you make better business decisions.” – Stephanie Skryzowski

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Things you need to know before selling your business
• How to avoid bottleneck-ing your business success
• Why understanding your numbers can help you make that sale worth it

As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to feel like you have to be working 24/7 in order to keep your business running. However, this doesn’t have to be the case! Though it can be hard to disconnect from our businesses, especially when we’re worried about what might happen.

The good news is, it is TOTALLY possible to have a successful business and take true vacations!

But just like everything else in business, you need to have plans and this means more than just finding someone to cover for you. There are 2 things that I like to invest on and help implement with my team – people and systems. Once you’ve got your A-team assembled, you’ll need a system that works even without you every step of the deal.

Here are 2 major things to invest in to keep your business running (even while you’re away on vacation):

1. Systems

One of the most important things to do in order to keep your business running smoothly while you’re on vacation is to have well-defined systems in place. It is by mapping out every step in your process and identifying which ones can be done with or without you. You can write it down and pinpoint parts that requires you and which ones are inefficient or duplicative. You can also find softwares that automates your processes, making it easier for your team to keep things running

2. People

Having a good team in place is very essential for any business. A strong team can help you keep things running smoothly, even when the owner or an employee is away. Hiring new people or restructuring the team can create more coverage and help to ensure that your business doesn’t grind to a halt. It’s important to have a team that is capable of filling in for each other when needed and can work together to keep things moving forward.

To learn more about how I took a vacation and what I’ve done so far to take time off my plate, make sure to listen to the podcast episode! I cover everything from systems and people to hiring and outsourcing. These tips will help you run your business smoothly while you’re on vacation or just taking some time off.

“We’d literally map out every little minute step and found the pieces that were super inefficient… whatever that might be. And then, we figured out a way to streamline and automate it.” – Stephanie Skryzowski

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How you can take a much needed vacation as an entrepreneur (without being on your phone/laptop all the time)
• The two categories that you need to invest on and implement in your business to streamline the backend
• Why you need to start mapping out your workflow
• Questions to ask yourself when working on your company processes
• The benefits of overhead hires and cross-training your team
• Why taking a vacation can make you learn more about your business

When it comes to business retreats and conferences, there is often a lot of confusion about what the difference is between the two. And while they both offer unique benefits, they are definitely not the same thing!

So, what’s the difference between a retreat and a conference?

Well, a retreat is typically a smaller, more intimate gathering where attendees can expect to build deeper relationships with each other. There is usually a greater emphasis on personal development and growth at a retreat, and attendees often have ample opportunity for reflection and self-care.

On the other hand, conferences are much larger events that tend to be more focused on networking and learning new information.They offer a great opportunity to meet new people and learn from some of the top experts in your field. However, they can also be quite overwhelming, and it can be difficult to really connect with people on a deeper level.

So, which one’s right for you? If you’re looking for an opportunity to relax, recharge, and reset, a retreat might be a better fit. Especially for people like me, who tend to be more introverted, retreats can be a much-needed oasis.

However, if you’re looking for an opportunity to meet new people and learn about the latest trends in your industry, a conference might be a better option. No matter which you choose, attending a retreat or conference is always a worthwhile investment.

Tune in this episode to learn more about the other key difference between retreats and conferences, and why attending either one is a great way to invest in your business. Also, I’ll give my fresh insight from my attending the Mom 2.0 Summit, so you can get a fair idea of how these kinds of events are like. And who knows? Maybe you’ll be inspired to attend one yourself!

“I feel like overall, a retreat is more my style. I really like building closer relationships with fewer numbers of people. That’s just kind of how I roll in my life. And I like having that spaciousness and quiet time and, sort of distraction-free time built into my experience.”

– Stephanie Skryzowski

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What’s the difference between a retreat and a conference
• Why going to a retreat or conference is a worthwhile investment
•  What attending a conference is like for an introvert (like me!)
•  When do conferences and retreat happen
• The value of forecasting conferences and/or retreats into your business expenses

Join us in this episode, as we talk about her journey when she started her business as a 19-year-old with no children and how she has really shifted her perspective from “Okay, I don’t have kids, but I want to help women through labor,” to “What can I bring to the table?” early in her career. She also shared her insight about how her living in France and California helped her grow and make the decisions throughout the course of her business.

I really enjoyed sharing such a refreshing conversation with Brandi and hope that it helps the mompreneurs out there.

I’ve mentioned my amazing business coach several times on the podcast and I think it’s time for you to finally meet her!

In this episode, I have Kathryn Binkley, the CEO and Founder of Scale to Seven®

Kathryn has over fifteen years of experience in marketing and operations consulting, and knows what it takes to help a business scale. She’s started her company back in 2015 to provide coaching and education for online business owners looking to elevate to CEO-level status. Since then, she has led high-performing cross-functional teams to scale hundreds of businesses.

Honestly, I’ve been working with Kathryn for the last year and the impact that she has had on my business has been EXPONENTIAL!

If I just think about where we were a year ago to where we are today… gosh. The difference is night and day. We used to be in kind of a tricky place with our team. Now? We have 18 full-time team members!

The backend for our different processes, systems, and all that stuff was, at best, just okay. Like, it was like a solid okay. But now, when people join our team, they’re always, “Wow, everything is really organized and really clear on the back end of things!” And that is in large part due to Kathryn Binkley and her being an absolute genius at what she does.

Suffice to say, we have a great conversation in store for you today! One of my favorite things that she has helped me with is really to create more space in my life and in my calendar. Kathryn also shares her exact process for creating more space and freeing up your time in your business and different things that you should be focusing on and not focusing on!

Bursting at the seams with excitement and just ready to learn how to elevate yourself to thriving CEO and scale your business to seven-figures? Then make sure you tune in and connect with us later, friend!

” I think so often we think that or we just allow – unintentionally – our schedules to dictate themselves. We just say yes to things or we think that they’re important and they have to happen. And our schedules just create themselves versus us really stepping into that ownership role, that CEO role and saying, ‘NO, this is what I want my schedule to look like.’  – Kathryn Binkley

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Who is Kathryn Binkley and how her entrepreneurial journey began
• How to create more space using Kathryn’s S.P.A.C.E. method
• How Kathryn tracks and optimizes the departments in her business
• The importance of building and organizing your business for scalability
• What you can do to step into your CEO role with ease and confidence

If you want to build a thriving team that will help your business succeed, there are several things you have to keep in mind. From finding the right people to maintaining a positive workplace culture, here are some tips to help you build a thriving team!

1. Understand what needs to be outsourced

Okay, so first things first… BEFORE you even start hiring, take some time to really evaluate what kind of team you need.

Ask yourself these questions:

• What kinds of skills and experience do they need to possess?
• How many people will I need to optimize my business operations?

Once you have a good idea of the kind of team you need, you can start reaching out and looking for potential candidates.

2. Choose someone who is a great culture fit

When you’re in the hiring phase, it’s important to look for culture fit as well as skills and experience. You want to make sure that the people you’re hiring will mesh well with your existing team and company culture.

3. Cross-train your hires whenever possible

It’s also important to cross-train your team members so that they’re able to pitch in and help out in other areas if needed. This is especially important if you have a small team.

4. Automate as much as you can

Another key to building a thriving team is to automate as much of your business processes as possible. This will free up your team’s time so that they can focus on more important tasks.

5. Inspire your team with your words and actions

Finally, remember that your team is made up of people just like you. So take the time to listen to them, get to know them on a personal level, and show them that you appreciate their hard work with things like time off and bonuses. By doing this, you’ll inspire them to do their best work for your company.

Once you have your team assembled, it’s important to keep them happy and engaged!

Here are a few tips to set your team up for success and keep them inspired:

1. Offer regular training and development opportunities

Provide your team with an opportunity to grow and develop their skills by offering regular training and other development opportunities. This can be in the form of online courses, conferences, or even on-the-job training.

2. Encourage a healthy work-life balance

Encourage your team to maintain a healthy work-life balance by offering flexible hours and working from home options. This will help them to avoid burnout and stay motivated. It also helps to give them the occasional day off to relax and recharge!

3. Celebrate successes together

Finally, make sure to celebrate successes together as a team. This could be in the form of a team lunch, celebration email, or even just a simple thank you. By doing this, you’ll show your team that you appreciate their hard work and remind them that they’re part of something special.

4. Offer regular feedback

Make sure to offer regular feedback, both positive and constructive. This way, they’ll know what they’re doing well and what they need to work on.

5. And as always, don’t forget to communicate

Encourage open communication by having regular team meetings and one-on-one check-ins. This will give your team the chance to share their ideas, concerns, and feedback with you. It also helps to build trust and rapport within the team!

Remember, building a thriving team is essential to the success of any business. By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to putting together a highly-skilled and motivated team that will help your business succeed!
