Joining us on this week’s podcast is none other than, Kacia Fitzgerald!

For those of you who have yet to meet our amazing guest, Kacia is a multi-passionate entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster, and CEO of SheGoes Co and EmpowerHER. In this episode, we talk about how being and listening to yourself is the key to your business success.

I’ve always been fascinated with people like Kacia who understand the value of understanding the power of her emotions and energy,and using it to transform her perspective to better connect with others in her community.

It’s also really interesting how being an entrepreneur wasn’t her first career choice. Before embracing her calling as a business mentor & podcaster, Kacia started by working in the corporate world. In our conversation, she shared that even though she was making good income and her career trajectory made sense on paper, she truly felt that she wasn’t on the right path. She wanted MORE.

If this sounds like you, then I highly recommend you listen in and discover how Kacia’s journey of self-discovery has allowed her not only to empower herself, but also other women, to become more confident and successful in their chosen fields.

“Give yourself grace. Give yourself radical compassion and just touch base and take inventory of this season of life you’re in and be careful that you’re not your own worst critic.” – Kacia Fitzgerald

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Kacia’s journey into making EmpowerHER Podcast

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

Welcome back to the 100 Degrees of Entrepreneurship, everyone! I’m thrilled to introduce you to yet another excellent podcast guest this week, Brandi Jordan.

In case you didn’t know, Brandi Jordan is the founder of The Cradle Company. A pregnancy and postpartum resource center, where she’s been helping new families grow, adjust, and find balance for almost two decades.

After hearing an NPR segment on midwifery at 19 years old, Brandi cold called a birth center in her hometown of Houston. She asked if they could teach her how to help women through labor. She then took a doula training course and found her calling!

Brandi holds a BA and child development and a master’s of social work from USC and founded the National Association of Birth Workers of Color in 2018. Known as the Baby Sleep Fairy, she finds tailor-fit solutions for each family regardless of location and socioeconomic status, this allows them to thrive once their work together is complete. She has also made headlines with high-profile clients like Mandy Moore, Rosamund Pike, Megan Fox and Julia Stiles who praise her approach of combining modern ideas and technology with age-old, wisdom and protocols.

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. So, make sure you tune in to learn more about how The Cradle Company was born, the importance of listening to your intuition, amazing baby sleep solutions. Along with some really, really amazing life advice!

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!

I shared some practical and actionable tips that you can use to build your own high-performing team. Thanks so much for tuning in and I hope you find this helpful!

“When people feel that their work has a purpose and that they have a say in that, they’re going to perform at a much higher level. They’re going to stay engaged and be more committed.” – Stephanie Skryzowski

It’s hard to believe that 100 Degrees of Entrepreneurship has officially reached its one year anniversary!

Well, we actually celebrated this milestone a month ago, March 1st. So, yeah, this recording is a little late, but you know what they say, it’s better late than never.

The past year has been an amazing journey so far and we’ve learned so much. We’ve had the opportunity to speak with some incredible entrepreneurs, experts from the nonprofit space, and just a whole lot of brilliant humans in a variety of fields! Each and every one of our guests has brought something unique to the table and we are so grateful for their time and knowledge.

I started this podcast with the goal of helping you learn from the successes (and failures) of entrepreneurship. I wanted to create a space where people could come to learn, be inspired, and be motivated to pursue their business dreams. A year later, we are proud to say that we have accomplished that goal and then some. Because not only have we built an amazing community of listeners who eagerly tune in each week to hear what we have to say, but we’ve also been able to build some of the most rewarding friendships here. And, for me, that is truly one of the best feelings in the world!

So, thank YOU for celebrating our one year anniversary with us, friend!

Here’s to many more years of inspiring conversations, business milestones, and just overall greatness.

As your business grows, it’s important to remember that it is NOT your baby. You cannot coddle your business and expect it to thrive – you have to put it to work and make sure that it’s bringing in the $$$$$. But no matter how much pride and joy it brings you, your business is and will always be a separate entity – and should be treated as such.

So, let me say this again:

Your business is not a baby. It should not require your full, undivided attention. A business that needs you this much will lead to burnout – and trust me, nobody wants that. 

Here are three things that we did to take our business from baby to well-oiled machine:

1. AUTOMATE

One of the best ways to ensure that your business runs smoothly is to automate as many tasks as possible. This could mean setting up automated emails, automating your social media posts, or using a CRM to automate your sales process. By automating these tasks, you’ll free up time for more important things (you know, like growing your business!).

2. HIRE THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Another way to take your business to the next level is to make sure you have the right people on your team. This means finding and investing in people with the experience, mindset, and skills necessary to help your business grow. It also means finding people who share your vision and are on board with your company culture.

3. CREATE A ROUTINE

Finally, it’s important to create a routine for your business. Set aside certain days or times of the day for specific tasks. Create a checklist of tasks that need to be completed like clockwork each day/week/month. Build a routine that helps ensure that no task is overlooked and that your business runs like a fuel-efficient race car.

So, when you get the urge to treat your business as you would an adorable, precious, and demanding baby…

You need to remind yourself, that your business is an organization that’s composed of highly capable individuals. Remember its purpose: to bring you time and financial freedom, serve your audience, and hopefully, make the world a better place.

P.S. Are you ready to un-baby your business yet? Tune in to this week’s episode for the full scoop on how we used these 3 strategies to transform 100 Degrees into the thriving 7-figure business that it is today!

“Do you really want your business to be your baby? Demanding, needy, full of responsibilities that only you can fulfill. That’s a hard no, right? I don’t want a business that needs me 24/7 to make it happy.” – Stephanie Skryzowski

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why we need to stop coddling our businesses
• The 3 things we did that helped turn the business from needy baby to well-oiled machine

In this episode, we’re going to be talking about the three things you should do every month in Quickbooks. These are really important things to keep on top of, in order to make sure that your business finances are in good shape. But don’t worry, I won’t get all technical here! In fact, if you listen to this episode, you’ll find out that tracking your numbers doesn’t take quite as much time as you think it does.

Here’s a brief overview of how your monthly Quickbook habit should look like:

1. Make sure that all of your bank accounts and credit cards associated with your business are integrated to your Quickbooks. Doing so will help you keep track of your numbers more efficiently.

2. Reconcile your bank accounts. The data that’s in your Quickbooks and your bank account should match.

Something I learned the hard way was that Quickbooks isn’t quite as smart as it thinks it is. Sometimes it will categorize items wrong, sometimes it might even duplicate things by mistake. So, make it a habit to go through your transactions and add in the details on what those transactions were. This will ensure that the numbers on both end are accurate.

3. Don’t forget to run your reports! Look at your Profit and Loss statements and your balance sheet every single month. This allows you to monitor and assess your company’s assets and liabilities.

So, really… there’s barely any math involved here since Quickbooks does most of it for you. All you need to do now is to run your Quickbooks account (at least once every month) update it with your month’s numbers, and review the reports.
