This episode is about something that I believe is more powerful for your business than any marketing or sales strategy.  I’m joined by the amazing Susan Ferraro, creator of the Easy Peasy Law of Attraction System and an expert when it comes to the Law Of Attraction. Susan also created a masterclass all about the Law Of Attraction for the Members’ Club and it’s one of our most popular masterclasses! Check out Susan’s masterclass and learn more about the Members’ Club right here >> In this episode Susan and I chat about the internal work it really takes to create more success, live our best lives, build successful businesses and achieve amazing things in a way that is aligned with our true selves.  When you put this into practice - the success, inspiration, ideas and opportunities that flow from it are huge and something that both Susan and I have experienced in our lives.  In this conversation Susan and I talk about:  How Susan discovered the Law of Attraction and used it to move out of the corporate career

In this amazing episode of the She Means Business Show, I’m joined by my good friend Brandon Lucero!  Brandon’s expertise when it comes to creating scroll-stopping content is incredible and this episode is a value-bomb of some of his best content tips and strategies. If you’re so ready to create content that captures your audience’s attention and gets them to recognize you as the go-to expert in your industry - you’re going to love this episode! And if you want even more help taking your content game to the next level, Brandon recently created an amazing masterclass for our Members’ Club called Creating Videos That Convert.  Creating content is so important because our businesses are about our ideas, messages and stories.  But so many entrepreneurs feel stuck on the content treadmill simply because they’re churning out content for the sake of it.  So in this episode Brandon and I chat about being strategic with our content, and creating stuff that will actually generate results for our businesses. In this epi

Over the past few years of working with thousands of female entrepreneurs I’ve noticed something that holds back so many people with amazing ideas: feeling like they need a specific qualification to start the business they dream of.    If this sounds familiar, I want you to know that I understand exactly how you feel.    Before I started FEA, I sat on the idea for 3 whole years because I kept thinking to myself, “Who am I to create this?!” and “Who will take me seriously if I have no business qualifications!”.   I wasted so much time hanging on to this false belief before I finally plucked up the courage to get out of my own way and take the leap anyway.   I don’t want that to happen to you! I want you to recognize that you don’t need a qualification to share your experiences, your skills, talents, passion and expertise.    So in this episode I want to share with you:   What I DID have instead of a qualification, that was so much more important to help me build my business. How my friend Allie Casazza built

Hard work is part of the entrepreneurial journey and it’s crazy to think that it isn’t. I was recently having a conversation with a friend about how so many people online seem to portray that building a business should be easy and that it doesn’t require too much hard work. Part of me gets really angry with this because it puts out a false message to those who are at the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey. It makes so many people feel that if they are struggling and working really hard, it means that something must be wrong. But it takes hard work, discipline and dedication to achieve amazing results in absolutely anything in life! I feel like it’s so important to talk about this because when I realised that it’s ok to struggle, that this was going to be hard work - I finally gave myself permission to stop thinking I wasn’t doing it right by working so hard. So in this episode I chat to you about: Why it might look easy and effortless for other people (but in fact no one has it all figured out!) The m

“There’s no such thing as a unique message, only unique messengers”.    I heard the amazing Jadah Sellner say this quote in a masterclass she created for our Members’ Club a few months ago and it really stuck with me.  As business owners, entrepreneurs and people with lots of big ideas that we want to turn into successful businesses - we are in fact messengers.  Our stories, personalities and experiences make us who we truly are and shape our unique message. But so often we feel like we need to emulate successful people we admire, or that we’re not “interesting enough” to be ourselves.  So we end up listening to everyone else’s ideas and putting messages out there that are generic, inauthentic and really don’t connect with our audiences.  And then our message doesn’t convert into sales, customers and raving fans. #sofrustrating I know this is something so many entrepreneurs struggle with, so in this episode I share with you:  My own struggle with being myself when I first started FEA (and how I felt like I h

One of my favourite quotes has always been “Don’t compare your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20”.  And being a few chapters into my entrepreneurial journey now, I see so many people get stuck on their own Chapter 1 because they’re too scared to create a crappy first draft of their work.  When it comes to our business, so many of us expect perfection from the very beginning. But you wouldn’t expect to sit at a piano and play like Chopin from day 1!  So why do we put this kind of pressure on ourselves and hold ourselves back from becoming creators, even if it’s messy to begin with?  A few days ago I came across a box full of things I had created in the really early days when I first started FEA and it really took me back to that time. I wanted to share what I found in these boxes with you because so many times, when we scroll through social media, listen to podcasts or watch videos online, we base our comparison on those carefully selected highlight reels.  But we rarely get to see the journey that got pe

Back in 2011 I made a decision that completely changed my life.  Since making that decision and building the Female Entrepreneur Association, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes some people achieve huge success while others stay stuck when it comes to turning their ideas into a successful business.  I’ve come to realise that one of the biggest reasons they stay stuck is because they never truly make the decision to commit and go all in.  They teeter on the edge but never really take the leap to allow success to flow into their life.    The good news is that opening ourselves to the opportunities and abundance that are available to all of us is a choice we can all make! And it all starts with that decision. So in this episode I want to share with you: The decision I made back in 2011 that changed my life and business (and why this is the essential first step we all need to take to create success). Why making that decision changes absolutely everything (and what you can expect to see when you go

In this episode of the She Means Business Show, I am talking with the amazing Heather Chauvin. Heather was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer when she was just 27 years old. This traumatic change in circumstances forced Heather to drastically reevaluate her situation. She started to listen to "the knowing" inside of her, which was telling her what she needed and what she needed to do in order to become the person she knew she was meant to be. In her own words, the universe "finally had my attention". In this episode, Heather tells us all about her experience, and how it forced her to shift from a state of learning to a state of doing; to stop simply consuming self-development content and to start acting on it. I hope you love this episode, and if you want to learn more about Heather's story, head over to femaleentrepreneurassociation.com/heather . Carrie :) xx

In today’s episode I share with you: How one of our members, Lucy Griffiths, has sold over 30,000 courses online. How my good friend Michelle Rohr generated over $100,000 selling printable PDF products on Etsy. Loads of ideas for how to tap into the power of the internet to make money doing something you love. The 6-phase process we use inside the FEA Members’ Club to walk you from idea to wildly successful business.  The thing we all need to tap into to create the business of our dreams. 

In this episode I share with you: The lies I kept telling myself that stopped me from pursuing my idea to create FEA for 3 whole years, and the realisation I had that then changed everything.  Why “unbecoming” is such an important first step to creating success. The questions you really need to ask yourself to get clear on what’s holding you back from making your dreams happen and stopping abundance from flowing into your life. The kind of empowering thoughts and mantras we all need to tell ourselves on a daily basis to elevate our lives.

There are a number of key things that I learned in my journey to making my first million, and I wanted to share those with you.  So many of us have this goal to reach a million $ in revenue and this is a dream that I shared a few years ago. I want to take you back to 2009... That year I created this challenge for myself called “Mission To Make A  Million in 365 days”. I was completely set on this idea that I was going to figure out how I was going to make a million in 365 days. I created a website and I was going to document it and share my journey. I ended up completely falling off the bandwagon with this challenge. It was only when 2011 came around, and I recalibrated my goals to what I called my "Mission: Success Challenge" that I actually began to make progress towards that first million. And it took a fundamental mindset shift to get me there. So in this episode, I'm going to tell you all about my journey, how I achieved that mindset shift and impart my best advice for how you can do the same. I hope you

When I started my business I knew that if I could build an audience of people who absolutely loved what I was doing and found value in it, then I could make it a success.  For the first 2 years, I threw myself into building my email list and growing a following on social media - I wanted to grow a community of raving fans who loved FEA and what it was all about.   I’ve since built an email list of over 150,000 subscribers, which has completely changed my business! But like everyone else, I started from zero! I know how frustrating it can feel when you’re starting from square one, but I also know that this kind of success is possible for every single one of us! So in this episode I want to take you behind the scenes and share with you the best lead magnets we’ve used over the past few years to grow this list and how exactly we marketed them to attract subscribers.

Every single business needs a business plan, but when we’re just getting started, it’s difficult to know how to go about planning everything that goes into creating success!  So I wanted to share with you how I created my own Business Success Plan, which helped me grow FEA to multiple 7-figures. In this episode, I give you the exact steps you can follow so that you can plan out your own journey to success.  It’s a simple plan, but that’s exactly what makes it so incredibly effective!  In this episode I share with you: What you need to do before you even sit down to create your Business Success Plan. The first essential details you need to include in your Business Success Plan that will help you stay on track. How to create a simple yet powerful marketing plan to attract as many potential customers as possible. The easiest way to create a plan for generating revenue in your business and hitting your financial goals. The most important element in the success of your business and how to become the person you ne

It’s one thing to have an idea or a dream of starting a business... but it’s something completely different to have the courage to turn that dream into a successful and profitable business that you love.  The truth is that we all experience resistance when we have an idea to try something new. And it’s not just something we struggle with at the beginning... I’ve experienced periods of this struggle throughout my entire entrepreneurial journey - whenever I come up with a new idea or have a new dream to get to another level, that resistance creeps back in and gets in my way! As entrepreneurs, we need to become masters of overcoming resistance, even when it feels like there’s no option but to stay stuck.  So in this episode, I wanted to share with you my 5 top tips for doing exactly this. These are the powerful strategies I always turn to whenever doubts, fears and worries flood my brain and cloud my willingness to keep pushing through.  I’m sharing with you: Why it took me 3 years from coming up with the idea

Before 2015, Allie Casazza was an overwhelmed mum of 4, battling to get through every day, counting the minutes till bedtime and dreading having to start all over again the next morning. The advice she was getting that “you’ll just get through it” just wasn’t t the way Allie wanted to show up in her life and her motherhood. Allie says that one day she stood in her driveway in the mountains of Arkansas, hating her life and struggling to make ends meet and just chose to step into a different energy. She decided what was going to happen in her life and believed with certainty that success was hers for the taking. Since then Allie has built a multiple 7-figure business and she’s even had a $70,000 day selling a $99 product! Allie is the host of The Purpose Show podcast, which has over 6 million downloads and also runs a Facebook Group of over 50,000 highly engaged women!  The main thing that Allie says has helped her achieve huge success in her business has been her ability to grow an engaged community of super f

With everything that’s going on in the world right now, creating a membership site for your audience means that you can grow a stable and successful business that generates recurring revenue.  But regardless whether it’s a membership site, a course or an e-commerce website, the majority of people never even get their idea off the ground. So many of us are guilty of this: we get into our own heads and we get hung up about having tons of content and everything looking “perfect” before we even try to share our idea with the world.  It’s the difference between those who stay stuck and those who go on to create successful businesses: success comes from finding the courage to launch way before you have it all figured out! This happens because we compare our chapter one to someone else’s chapter 20, so in this episode I wanted to give you a look at my own chapter one.  I want to take you back in time and show you how much I really didn’t have things figured out when I first launched the Members’ Club and how far it

One of the biggest misconceptions about having a successful launch is that you need a huge audience of thousands of email subscribers and social media followers. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! Making 5 or even 6 figures in your next launch depends a lot more on the quality and engagement of your audience than it does on the number of followers you have. My amazing friend Michelle is proof of this, having scaled her business to six figures over the past few years with a small audience and no paid ads. Her story shows what’s possible for all of us when we just find the courage to stop hiding and put ourselves out there, even when we only have a small audience. In this episode, Michelle Rohr, who is the founder of the Secret Owl Society, shares behind the scenes of her most recent launch. Along with her business partner Aimee, Michelle recently launched her newest product to an email list of just 3,800 subscribers and an Instagram following of 2,000 followers.

Over the past couple of years I’ve been facing a serious challenge to grow my business. From the outside, you couldn’t really tell what was going on, but behind it all, I’ve been struggling on a personal level. So in this video I wanted to give you an honest glimpse into the reality that often hides behind the “picture perfect” highlight reels we see on social media. It has been a messy and crazy journey, but throughout it all, even when I was feeling the most stuck and confused, my business continued to grow and thrive. And the reason that my business has continued to generate over six figures per month through this really difficult time is down to one thing: recurring revenue. Recurring revenue is the most amazing thing you could create for your business! So in this episode, I wanted to give you some fun ideas to get your creativity flowing and help you see all the possibilities for adding a recurring revenue stream to your business. In the world we’re living in today, business stability is such an importan
