She Means Business, With Carrie Green, Author Of She Means Business And Founder Of The Female Entrepreneur Association

As entrepreneurs, we’re constantly coming up against new struggles, challenges and things we don’t know the answer to. When you have amazing ideas and big dreams, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck or confused trying to make it all happen. And you’re not alone - it’s the same for each and every one of us!  You need to remember that just because you feel overwhelmed or confused, it doesn’t mean you can’t become successful. Just because you aren’t making money right now, it doesn’t mean that you’re failing. A huge part of building a successful business is about becoming a creative problem solver and continuing to find the courage to keep taking inspired action... to keep growing and keep going.  So what do you do when you’re in that place? What do you do when you feel like you’re failing and you start to question whether the dreams you’ve been holding for yourself can ever become your reality? You need to hold on to those dreams that you have, your ideas and what you want to bring to life - because you can 10

If you have a dream, idea or desire to create something amazing such as a book, a course, a membership or anything where you are making money doing something you love, and you just feel hopeless, in despair, like you’re not getting anywhere, this episode is for you! It feels dreadful to be stuck in that place, but I also know how to break through to the other side, tap into your zone of genius, get into the flow and succeed in what you dream of doing! I want to share with you my best tips for doing this. I’ve been stuck in the “valley of despair” so many times, but over the years there are a few things I’ve learned to do that make all the difference! So in this episode I wanted to chat to you about: The entry I wrote in my journal in February 2016 talking about how I was driving myself to despair over writing my book, She Means Business.  How I compare the effort of bringing my ideas to life to giving birth to a baby! Why feeling like you’re in the valley of despair is actually a really good sign. The first

So many entrepreneurs want to create their own YouTube channel but don’t know where to start! If you have ever wondered how you could leverage YouTube to grow your business, you’re going to love this episode of the She Means Business Show! The amazing thing about YouTube is that your content lives on and works for years, it doesn’t just disappear after a few hours like it does on social media platforms! But the key thing to understand is that it’s different when you’re approaching YouTube as an entrepreneur as opposed to a creator or entertainer who wants to make money with Adsense. So in this episode I’m chatting with the amazing Sunny Lenarduzzi! She’s a social media consultant and business growth coach and has grown her YouTube channel to over 500,000 subscribers! When we wanted help to leverage YouTube for FEA, we bought her course because her information is so good, which is why I’m so excited for you to listen to this episode!  In it we talk about: The 3 types of content that you need to create as an e

Our businesses rely solely on us to become a success, so if we’re not well, healthy and fit and have the energy we need - we won’t be able to reach our goals and live the life we dream of. So many of us push ourselves so hard and focus so much of our energy on our businesses that we often forget to focus on ourselves.  Which is why I’m so excited to be chatting to the incredible Angela Foster in this episode! Angela is a Health & Performance Coach and the stuff she teaches is incredible. In this episode we chat about how you can optimize your health and energy to build an even more successful business. Angela shares: Her story of chasing success, how that led to a complete burnout and the epiphany she had while lying in hospital. What biohacking is and why it can help us to not only be healthier but also build more successful businesses. Her SHIFT model for sustaining high energy, optimizing your health and avoiding burnout. Why sleep is so essential for wellbeing, creativity and success.  How to get bet

So many of us have amazing ideas but hold ourselves back from ever doing anything about them. We’re scared we’re not good enough, that it’s not the perfect idea, that people will judge us for it or that we will fail.  We hold ourselves back and wait until we feel ready, until everything is perfect and we have the confidence to go for it. We doubt ourselves, question ourselves and keep playing small, never discovering what our true purpose is and how much is truly possible for each and every one of us. If you’ve been teetering on the edge of going for it, and you just need to know that it’s the right thing to do, then you’re going to love this episode I have for you with the incredible Cathy Heller! In this episode Cathy and I talk about so many things: Why the “perfect idea” doesn’t exist and what to do instead. How to overcome your negative thoughts, limiting beliefs and fears so that you can pursue your purpose and impact other people’s lives. How to build a successful membership that brings people togethe

As business owners and leaders, we have a responsibility to play our part in creating more diversity, inclusivity and equality in our businesses. We’re entering a new world where businesses that aren’t creating that diversity and inclusion for their customers and their communities are going to get left behind. We need to understand what building an anti-racist business truly looks like and the work that each and every one of us needs to do to create a better world. So in this episode I’m chatting to the amazing Trudi Lebron! Trudi is a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Coach and works with businesses, coaches and entrepreneurs and in this episode she’s sharing some things you can do as a business owner, to build an amazing business. In this episode we talk about: - How Trudi discovered a need for Diversity and Inclusion coaching in the online coaching and personal development world. - Why building an anti-racist business that focuses on diversity, equality and inclusion is so important and why it’s so needed. -

Sign up to the 12 week Create & Sell program here at fea.link/create I know that so many of us have these amazing ideas and desires to create something really successful but we’re teething on the edge of really going for it. So often we have great ideas, but it feels so overwhelming to actually create anything!  We go from feeling inspired to talking ourselves out of it and making up all sorts of reasons for why it wouldn’t have worked out anyway.  Over the years there have been so many times where I’ve had amazing ideas but the fear of doing anything about it was just too big, so I just did nothing. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling stuck like this, this episode is for you! In this episode I’m sharing with you: Why the ideas you have are exactly right for you. How my friend Kate started a successful business from home using her creativity and Instagram to grow and make thousands of sales.

Sign up to the Create & Sell programme at fea.link/create ! A lot of us get hung up on the fear that no one will buy from us, that we don’t know how to find our ideal customers and that we have no idea how to sell. If you’re feeling scared that no one will buy from you, you’re not alone because the majority of us have this fear! Back when I started the Members’ Club I was terrified that no one would want to join, that I would be doing all that work for nothing and that I would never manage to make it a success.  Even being unsure about what price to charge kept me stuck and feeling overwhelmed for so long! I know that when it comes to selling we get all these mindset blocks that slow us down and even completely derail us! Which is why in this episode I’m sharing: Why confidence has nothing to do with it, and what you need to focus on instead. The money mindset shift you need to make that will help you feel less salesy. How to prove to yourself that people will buy from you.  How to look behind the scenes

If you feel like you’re sitting on some amazing business ideas but you don’t know what to do about it, then this episode is for you! Back in 2005 when I started my first business doing mobile phone unlocking, I had no idea what I was doing or how to make it successful. I just winged it until I managed to make it work. A few years later, when I came up with the idea for the Female Entrepreneur Association, I was drowning in doubt and wondering to myself, “who am I to do this?!”. It felt so much easier to procrastinate and just do nothing about it, so I stayed stuck for 3 whole years before I actually went ahead and did something about it! So many of us are sitting on amazing ideas, but sometimes we just can’t get out of our own way to make the progress we desire. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck or frustrated, the good news is that there is a way to get out of your own way and create the success that you desire!  So in this episode I’m sharing with you some powerful tips to help you get out of your ow

How do we get stuff done that gets results? So often we end up feeling really busy doing a lot of stuff but not actually getting results. I get asked a lot how do I manage my time effectively juggling children, building a business, or having a full time job and building a business. It can be so crazy to have another priority and a business, it’s overwhelming at times - for me, balancing being a mum and having a business has been a real struggle at times. Manage my time effectively and getting things done, I felt so irritated with myself that I wasn’t making progress - you know how it feels when you’ve got these big dreams and goals but you don’t seem to be getting anywhere with them. It’s so annoying and frustrating. I had a big shift in realisation that have hugely changed the way I approach managing my time and I wanted to share it with you.  The fact that you’re busy and you also have other priorities outside of your business doesn't mean that you can’t build a wildly successful business - you definitely c

When it comes to learning or achieving anything new in life, the process is always so much easier and quicker when you follow in the footsteps of someone who has done it before you, rather than trying to figure it all out for yourself. Success leaves clues, and the achievements of others before you can be the shortcuts to your own success. But it’s also so important to find out what your own version of success is, what John Lee Dumas - of the amazing Entrepreneurs on Fire podcast - likes to call, your “zone of fire”. Since 2012 John has been producing a daily podcast where he has now interviewed over 3,000 of the most incredible entrepreneurs such as Amy Porterfield, Lewis Howes, Marie Forleo, Tim Ferris, Ramit Sethi, Neil Patel, Barbara Corcoran and Pat Flynn to name a few. That was his zone of fire. Committing to doing that podcast every day not only helped John build a huge multi-million dollar business, it also gave him insight into the roadmap that all these entrepreneurs seem to have in common when it c

This week the Female Entrepreneur Association turned 10 years old, which is crazy, when I think back to how it started as a tiny idea in my head. (We’re doing an AMAZING FEA birthday giveaway, so if you want to find out how you can enter and win, read till the end!) When I first had the idea to start FEA, I held myself back for 3 whole years before plucking up the courage to really do something about it and commit completely. I dabbled for a really long time, teetering on the edge of what could be, until one day I finally decided to go all in 100% to make it happen.  10 years later, that small idea has turned into an incredible worldwide community, a multi-million dollar business, a bestselling book and so much more! And through all that, there have been so many ups and downs, amazing wins and some utter failures. So in this episode I wanted to share with you the 10 biggest lessons I have learned over the past decade of building FEA into what it is today! These 10 tips are what I honestly think makes all the

Writing a book is one of the most amazing things you can ever accomplish as an entrepreneur and seeing your book on Amazon, in bookstores or in people’s hands is such an incredible feeling! If you would love to write your own book, feel like you’ve got a message to share, a powerful voice and loads of amazing ideas, but your logical brain keeps stopping you from getting those ideas out on paper, then this episode is exactly what you need! I struggled for years and had really bad writer’s block, before I discovered a few key tips and mindset shifts that helped me to get all my ideas and messages out of me and into a bestselling book! So in this episode I share with you: The first hit of inspiration I had and the very first version of the book I wrote (and how that inspiration wore off really quickly!). The time I decided to turn down an offer from a publisher because I couldn’t find the right inspiration to write my book. How I almost missed my contract deadline to write my book with Hay House (and the realis

Looking around at successful 6, 7, even 8 figure entrepreneurs, it’s difficult not to feel stuck if you’re still not seeing the kind of income you’d like from your business or revenue stream.  But speaking from my experience, it takes time, patience and perseverance to make money from any idea or business, no matter what it is.  When I started out, I just had a dream and a desire to help other people, but I had no clue how I was going to make it happen or make money from it!  I just knew that if I built an audience of people who loved what my message was about, I would be able to find a way to make money from it. So over the years I tried 12 different revenue streams to see what worked for me!  7 of them didn’t work out very well but 5 of them have made millions and allowed me to build a multiple 7-figure business! So many entrepreneurs fail simply because they give up if their first revenue stream doesn’t make money within a few months and I don’t want that to be you! So in this episode I share: How I came

Building a successful business or turning any dream into reality is never an easy feat.  In fact, we all have to face challenges, rejections and failures on the way to making it happen. It’s all part of the process.  So many of us just hold back, waiting for everything to fall into place, for someone to give us our chance or for things to be perfect.  So Trey Anthony turned her talents into success by doing the exact opposite.  She took charge of her own destiny, invested in her own self, took imperfect action and turned her mess into her message! The results were amazing and it goes to show how far we can truly go when we give ourselves permission to dream big and just try.  In this episode Trey and I chat about: Trey’s story and how being typecast and rejected was the start of her success story. Why being authentic and speaking her truth is her super power. Why she repeatedly took imperfect action and invested in herself to make things happen. How she lives an intentional life and finds the courage to ta

If you ever feel like things around you are out of control while you feel heavy and stuck, unable to do anything about it, this episode is going to be a game changer for you! Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster, with so many ups and downs that are out of our control - but something we do have control over are the thoughts and feelings that we choose to make ourselves available for. When we get intentional about the way we want to feel, everything changes! And the best part is that you don’t have to wait to feel the way you want to, so in this episode I chat to you about: Why getting intentional about your feelings is a huge (and underrated) key to creating success. The realisation I had in 2011 that completely changed the way I lived my life (and the success I was experiencing). 4 simple but powerful steps to help you put this into practice, get unstuck and feel ready to allow abundance and success to flow into your life.  I’m also setting you a really fun challenge in this episode, so why not grab a friend

Before I started FEA, I used to sit there watching webinars as other entrepreneurs shared how they were building their successful businesses. Part of me used to think it was absurd and ridiculous.  I watched from the sidelines as these people achieved amazing things and created incredible success. All the while I had massive impostor syndrome around my ideas and dreams. I felt embarrassed to do anything about it. I kept playing small while watching all these other people play big.   A part of me felt so frustrated and broken because I wasn’t doing what I was supposed to be doing with my life.  And I know that so many of us feel this way… so many of us stand on the sidelines and watch others going for their dreams and making amazing things happen.  So in this episode I want to chat to you about; The massive money block that used to hold me back from creating financial success.  The shift we all need to make to create amazing success, abundance and joy. The steps I took to turn my dream of becoming a Hay House
