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

The She Means Business show is all about helping you to have confidence in yourself, to have clarity around your vision and to help you realise that you can live an amazing life and build a successful business.  If you’re new to the Female Entrepreneur Association, this platform and community is all about showing you exactly how to do that - how to build a successful business and create the life of your dreams.  But mostly it’s about helping you to see the value that you have in yourself and that you bring to this world… The fact that you have a powerful message to share, whatever it may be.  However, even though I built the Female Entrepreneur Association, this wasn’t always the case for me.  For many years before that I struggled so much, feeling stuck and confused about what my purpose in life was.  So in this episode I want to share my whole story with you, all the way back to 2005 when my entrepreneurial journey started. 

Kenz Soliman shares her story and tips on how she went from an idea to selling over 42,000 online courses! Starting a successful online business doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult. Kenz Soliman is the perfect example of this. Despite all the fears and self-doubt she was struggling with, a few years ago Kenz decided to create a simple, 30-minute course about hashtags and publish it on Udemy. That was the first step to what is now her dream business and she has sold over 42,000 courses since then! Kenz is a member and a Team Leader inside the Members’ Club and her story is incredible. She’s proof that you can be anywhere in the world with a laptop, an internet connection and belief in yourself, and if you just take action, you can create so much success! In this episode we chat about: - How Kenz started her online business while caring for her son as a stay-at-home mum. - The impostor syndrome and fear she had to face, especially when it came to charging what she was worth. - Publishing her first cours

What if thinking like a millionaire and making million-dollar decisions is actually the key to creating millions? We're trained to think "realistically" our whole lives: to make sensible decisions, expect the worst and be financially conservative, even at the best of times. But what if attracting success is about more than just the nitty gritty of marketing and ROI? It all starts with mindset, and in order to draw the millionaire lifestyle to yourself you have to start thinking, "What decision would millionaire-me make?". I know that changing my thinking around my own decision-making and biases was key to moving the needle for my business and finally reaching seven figures. My amazing friend Michelle Rohr - founder of the Secret Owl Society - practices making million dollar decisions every day, and in this episode Michelle talks all about how she shifted her mindset to think like a millionaire and gives some really practical tips to help you to get there too. I hope you love this episode, which we recorded ou

As we’re about to get into 2021, I got to thinking about everything that's happened this year - in the world, in my own life at home, and in my business. This year proves that we never know what’s going to happen, we can’t foresee the future and we never know what kind of obstacles or challenges we’re going to have to face. But as Viktor Frankl says, what we do have control over is how we choose to respond. Even in the most frustrating or challenging situations, we always have the freedom to step back and choose a response that’s going to help empower us and give us the best outcome possible. And amidst all of the scary stuff, so much good has come about this year: - We finished renovation on the office and started working in there with the team, which has been amazing. - So many exciting things have happened in FEA; new opportunities have come up and we've welcomed some amazing new members to the team and the Members' Club. - And of course, Miss Marlie arrived in this world! ♥ So whatever comes in 2021, I ha

If you work a full time job and you’ve been dreaming of starting and growing a side business doing something you love - this episode is for you! I’m joined by the amazing Luisa Zhou, creator of the Employee To Entrepreneur program, where she teaches people how to turn their expertise into a successful business.  When she had a 9-5 job, it took Luisa just 4 months to make $100,000 in her side business! But her journey wasn’t easy or straightforward. In fact she had to try loads of ideas before she landed on the right one.  In this episode we chat about: Her journey from electrical engineering (working on the Space Station!), to corporate and finally to becoming an entrepreneur.  The ideas she tried to replace her corporate income.  How she made $100,000 in 4 month (once she found the right side-hustle idea!). The main tool she used to find her first clients.  Her top tips to help you start your own successful side-hustle. Luisa is also the creator of an amazing masterclass in our Members’ Club called Captiva

All the dreams I’ve ever had started as just a crazy idea in my head.  When I had the dream to start FEA, write my book or do my TEDx Talk... I had no idea how I was going to turn any of them into reality. It felt completely terrifying and impossible! But creating success isn’t about knowing how to do everything from the get-go. It’s about taking little step after little step until that vision slowly becomes a reality.  In this quick episode of the She Means Business Show, I want to share with you what it has taken for me to turn so many of my dreams into reality (and how you can do it too!!). I’m also sharing with you the one thing we all need to create success in life and in business that has made all the difference for me and thousands of successful entrepreneurs. If you’re ready to close the chapter on 2020 and make 2021 your best year ever, you’re going to love this episode! And if you’d love all the support, resources and guidance you need to make it all happen - we’d love to have you inside the Members

Building a successful business isn’t just about creating one-time transactions. It’s about designing experiences and evoking emotions that make your audience fall in love with what your business is all about and keep customers coming back. Which is why I’m so excited for this episode of the She Means Business show with the amazing Jennifer Kem! Jen is a genius when it comes to brand strategy and she’s worked with amazing brands such as the Oprah Winfrey Network, Nestle and Verizon! In this episode we talk about how: Jen’s early career and the moment she decided to leave the corporate world and own her destiny. Her first experience as an entrepreneur - losing everything in the 2008 financial crash and creating success all over again. Why building a brand is an amazing way to future-proof your business. What brand strategy actually means for business owners and the difference between branding and marketing. Why customer experience plays such an important part of your brand strategy. How to do market and custome

When we follow our intuition and give ourselves permission to do what we’re truly meant to be doing in our lives, we can manifest all kinds of success and happiness. And this is exactly how Amber Lilyestrom created a 7-figure business and the lifestyle of her dreams.  In this episode of the She Means Business Show, I’m joined by the incredible Amber, Brand Coach and host of The Amber Lilyestrom Show, which gets over 100,000 downloads per month! Amber shares so many amazing and inspirational insights in this episode all about allowing yourself to do what you’re meant to do and following your purpose, including:  How to move yourself out of the overwhelm of inaction and feel less stressed. How a traumatic experience in her childhood and a near-death experience later on in life shaped her life and career. Why she quit her job to start her business as soon as she got her first client. Her 4-part process to step into who you are, create success and live your best life. How Amber manifested her dream house and lif

There’s a quote by Viktor Fankl I love that says, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” It’s so empowering because even though we never know what’s going to happen or how our circumstances are going to change, the one thing we always have control over in life is how we react and respond. So after the fear and uncertainty that we’ve all had to deal with in 2020, how can we make sure that we show up in a way that attracts more of what we want into our lives for 2021? How can we stop letting fears hold us back and go for our dreams like never before? Even when it feels scary, uncertain and overwhelming?  In this episode I wanted to chat to you about why we all need to show up as our most fearless selves in 2021 and how we can attract more of what we want into our lives, despite the fear, uncertainty and overwhelm that may surround us.   How far would you go if you decided that 2021 is

So many entrepreneurs feel like they need to hit 6 figures or achieve a huge milestone success before they’re ready and worthy to get publicity.  But this couldn’t be further from the truth!  We all have interesting stories to share and our personal perspectives and experiences can impact so many people.  Publicity is the perfect way to not only get yourself and your work out there, but also to get in front of people who might see themselves in you and feel inspired.   I have an incredible conversation to share with you in this episode that I had with the amazing Selena Soo, all about how anyone at any stage of their business can get publicity. In this episode Selena and I chat about: Why being an introvert can actually help you to be even more relatable when you get publicity.  How Selena was inspired to get into publicity by sharing meaningful stories she knew would impact other people’s lives.  The 7 steps to getting publicity and making the most of that exposure to get amazing results in your business. 

So many of us waste so much time thinking about our dreams and never doing anything about them. Before I took the leap to start FEA, I used to come up with ideas and then overthink and over complicate them until I felt like I should just forget about it. What happens really often when we have an idea to do something, is that we feel fired up and inspired at first. But the more we think about it, the more we question whether we can do it or if it will even work. In the end we just keep talking ourselves out of doing anything! If this sounds familiar, then this episode is for you! I want to chat to you about: - The biggest thing that kills dreams and ideas (and it has nothing to do with failure!). - The most important thing we all need to do to bring our ideas to life. - How to find answers and inspiration when you don’t know what to do. - Ways of coming up with a great idea to create and sell online. - How to get out of your own way so that you can create success and be of service. I hope this episode gets you

Your brand, business and offers come to life online through the words you use. Which is why as entrepreneurs, one thing we all have to learn how to do really well is copywriting. If you’ve been wanting to set up an evergreen funnel or you’ve been optimising an existing one, you know what a big part copywriting plays in the success of that funnel.  In this episode of the She Means Business Show I’m joined by the amazing Prerna Malik, conversion copywriter and co-founder of The Content Bistro.  She has written copy for top entrepreneurs like Pat Flynn, Amy Porterfield and Vanessa Lau, and in this episode she’s sharing: What an evergreen funnel is and why it’s so powerful for creating sales on autopilot. Her business journey from mummy blog to copywriting and how she worked with amazing entrepreneurs like Pat Flynn and Amy Porterfield. Her B.A.K.E. framework for writing copy that converts at every stage of your evergreen funnel.  The biggest mistakes that keep entrepreneurs stuck when it comes to finding succes

As entrepreneurs and visionaries, one of the most important qualities we need to have is the ability to be flexible in our thinking, our actions and our plans as things change around us (which happens all the time!).  In this episode I’m joined by the amazing Racheal Cook, founder of CEO Collective, as we chat about her journey from starting her first business, to the success she has created by navigating change in her business like a CEO.  In this conversation Racheal and I chat about: How she left the corporate job that burnt her out and leapt into entrepreneurship. The first business she started and how it has evolved and changed from there thanks to the feedback she got from her audience.   How Racheal crafted her message and her offers around the needs of her dream customers.  How she focused on results and serving her audience rather than the ideas, strategies or advice from other people in the industry.  Why 90 day planning works so well and how to set goals you’ll actually achieve. Why we all need to

In this episode Jadah Sellner and I dive into her experience building the Simple Green Smoothies community from zero into a seven-figure business with over 400,000 Instagram followers and 355,000 email subscribers.  Jadah shares some amazing strategies for building a really engaged community and growing your business by focusing on loving up on your people rather than the metrics, numbers and followers. I hope you love this episode! :) xx

In this episode I’m joined by the amazing Andrea McLean. If you’re in the UK, you’ll have seen Andrea on TV as part of the Loose Women panel! She’s done some incredible things and written 3 incredible books.  No matter what our big goals are, whether that includes building a business at all, is the fact that we all just want to live our best lives and live happy lives. You can set goal after goal, but if you  don’t actually know what makes you happy, those goals become hollow and will never make you feel fulfilled.  In this chat, Andrea and I talk about:  Why we all need to do what it takes to live happy, good lives and thrive rather than settling for just existing. So many of us are stuck in a place of just existing and letting our life make decisions for us.  How we all have a pivot moment in our lives and how Andrea’s pivot moment involved jumping out of a helicopter and how that changed her life.  How Andrea experienced trauma in her personal life and buried them. There was a trigger. Felt like there was

As an entrepreneur I love to visualize success, so here are my 3 steps for visualizing success for you to try out! As an entrepreneur, you dream of having a wildly successful business, we all do! This week I want to ask you, have you actually taken the time to picture what your business will look like when you've reached success? Do you know what your vision is, with absolute clarity? You are the visionary of your business, and you know just as well as I, that the special power all entrepreneurs have is the ability to turn our tiny little ideas that get in our head into a successful reality. I want to help you truly step into your vision and learn how to completely immerse yourself in it on a daily basis.

Welcome to the 100th episode of the She Means Business Show! Woohoo! When I pressed publish on that first episode back in January of 2017, I had so many ideas about what I wanted this podcast to be like. I wanted to interview successful female entrepreneurs and inspire others to start their own wildly successful businesses with amazing tips, inspiring stories and meaningful conversations. From that very first episode, the podcast has now grown to over 610,000 downloads, countless success stories and so much inspiration for so many women around the world who are walking in the direction of their dreams! To mark this special 100th episode occasion, we’re doing something completely different! Team FEA had a fun idea to put together a collection of clips and videos going all the way back to 2011, when I first started FEA - I haven’t seen these clips yet and what you’re going to watch (or listen to) is my first-time reaction!  I’m so excited to take a trip down memory lane with you and to show you that we all just

Every single one of us has the ability to live the most epic, abundant and successful life. So why is it that in reality, most people never go on to experience that? Far from living their best life, so many people find themselves so stuck. This is what we talked about and made breakthroughs on last week in the Package Your Brilliance challenge I hosted with the amazing Gina DeVee. The challenge was about how you can take your ideas, knowledge and passion and turn them into offers and packages that your ideal clients will love to buy, so that you can build a successful business doing something you love. At the beginning of the challenge, so many of the women who took part felt like they didn’t deserve to live an epic life - and I know that this limiting belief is so common. I was so inspired by the transformations we saw during the challenge that in this episode, I wanted to talk to you about: The reason why so many people don’t believe that they deserve to live an epic life. The excuses we all tell ourselves
