Have you ever thought GOSH I love the network marketing business model, but I don’t like the way it’s been done in the past? The cold messaging, the spammy, sleezy ways that it’s been marketed, you know what I’m talking about. If so, then this episode is for you.This is the second part of a 2-part episode going live on the Ambitious Motherhood Podcast with Katie Fleming and this podcast, The 6 Figure Mompreneur!I’m going to be sitting down with Katie Fleming, Business and Marketing Mentor, and chatting about why a network marketing partnership might be your next best move. And the reason why we’re doing this is because we know you are living launch to launch and are super crispy from your constant state of burn out. You’re craving community and are ready to stop trading your hours for dollars. We’re dishing all the details on why network marketing might just be your next smart business move.QUICK TAKEAWAYS:One of the biggest pros to network marketing is the opportunity for residual income. There is no o

One of the biggest mysteries in the online entrepreneurial space is selling passive products. Time and time again I hear/see mompreneurs say that they have an amazing passive product, but don’t sell it regularly because they don’t know how.They’ve run the webinars, challenges, done the video series, written the entirely passive email sequences and the results are lackluster. Open rates are low and click rates are non-existent.But then there seems to be a small percentage of online entrepreneurs who lean into that passive income side of their business and it blows up like crazy. They experience massive growth thanks to a ridiculously high converting email sales funnel that sells FOR them, on autopilot. They live the entrepreneurial dream: sell their passive products daily, while they’re sleeping, on vacation, playing with their kids, or even just taking a day off.Their business literally runs in the background of the life they are actually living.So what gives? What makes these entrepreneurs different from

Amy Rasdal is a working mom of two kids, ages 15 and 5, who traded her corporate job for consulting 15 years ago. Today, she makes more money than most executives and lives a very blended life with almost no boundaries, working and playing every day. As the founder of Billable with Baby, Amy helps liberate other corporate working mothers by empowering them to build their own successful consulting businesses. She's quick on the mute button and can tell you a foolproof way to do a professional conference call from Disneyland.QUICK TAKEAWAYS:Amy’s super power is an uncanny ability to get to the “root cause”, which is the thing that is preventing you (or a product) from moving forward successfully. Amy attributes this to her previous career experience and intuition.Focus, prioritization, and confidence have been Amy’s tools to help her create a thriving 6-figure business.Oftentimes business owners prioritize the wrong things, because they are afraid of doing the things that will actually move them forward becaus

When do you throw in the towel and delete your Facebook Group? For a while now online marketers have been saying that Facebook Groups are dead, that they don’t matter anymore, that they are a waste of time, and I think that’s soooooo not true.With Facebook’s recent changes to cast a deep net instead of a wide net within the world’s largest social media outlet, they are now emphasizing Facebook Groups as a way to facilitate those deeper connections. They are more private, more intimate, and much more focused on relationships. As an online entrepreneur, it’s never been a better time to monopolize on this new emphasis. But time and time again mompreneurs start Facebook Groups with the best of intentions, only to let them fall to the wayside when they stop working. Usually what happens is there is a flurry of activity when the Group is first started, but eventually over the course of a month or two, engagement starts to dwindle, so it is assumed that no one is interested anymore and the Facebook Group Admin sl

The riches are in the niches. Have you ever heard that expression before? I remember the first time I heard it from my coach 4 years ago, I totally rolled my eyes. Granted, I was in a very different place and an entirely different business, but I wrote it off as a bunch of malarkey. I had a personal training business that was tanking and I couldn’t seem to find clients to save my life. I was certified and trained to serve a wide variety of clients so why would niching down when it comes to who I serve benefit me? Wouldn’t that be limiting the amount of clients I could serve? And therefore, limiting my business? So I continued to cast a wide net when it came to my marketing. I talked about geriatric fitness, fitness for special populations, postpartum fitness, and even strength training for athletes. And yes, still no new clients.Finally after 4 months of no new clients I decided to actually listen to my coach and niche down. My favorite clients were my postpartum clients, and being 1 year out from

It’s almost that time of the year. ⠀⠀The most enjoyable, yet *sometimes* the most stressful time of the year.⠀⠀For me, I have about 4 weeks until Camden is home all summer so I am in serious summer prep mode. ⠀⠀And so if you’re seeing the impending summer break as an impending doom, this episode is totally for you.⠀⠀This summer I’m going to have 16 month Nora and 5 year old Camden home with me full-time and so I want to share with you how I’m still going to be serving my Legacy Mastermind clients, creating amazing content for my membership site and simultaneously scaling, The Lead Generation Lab, AND still have time for the podcast, serving my Facebook community, and doing #allthethings businesses, WHILE also having a life and enjoying the heck out of my family time.⠀⠀So let’s talk a bit about back-end systems. Here’s my philosophy on this: Your business should have some sort of mechanism to build your business FOR you, while you’re actually living your life. It’s the entire premise of the Lead Generation

The great debate in the online space is ALWAYS this one thing…Organic vs. paid traffic….which one is better? And the truth?One is not better than the other. There are pros and cons to both.If we expect to grow our businesses, we need to be constantly in front of new potential clients, building the know, like and trust factor. And so we need to have a strategy in place for getting front of those new people.Now the next step is figuring out the HOW. How are we going to FIND these new people? Now there are a TON of strategies out there that involve both paid and organic marketing. And everyone has an opinion about which one is better. I know some online entrepreneurs who have built 6-figure businesses on organic traffic, and organic traffic alone.I know some online entrepreneurs who have built 6-figure businesses on paid traffic, and paid traffic alone.Both types of traffic have their pros and cons and so today I’ll be chatting through some of those pros and cons and really breaking down what this actually

As someone who is building her business in the online space, you need to be everywhere all the time. In an ever-changing social media world, new trends come and go constantly. New platforms are developed, created, and rolled out daily. And the early adopters get MASSIVE traction and visibility, because they are paving the way for an entirely new demographic of people to enter into a platform. And while we may moan and groan about algorithm changes, or the newest social network that we HAVE to be on, or the features that get added or taken away at a moment’s notice, these changes and new trends are actually a really good thing. Because, it means that there is no one “right” way to do business, especially in the online space. You don’t HAVE to be on Facebook if you don’t want to. Do you HATE Instagram? Don’t be on it.But do know, and this is the important thing here, that you have the potential to NOT find your ideal client by not hanging out in established or even new social media networks. I think we

Alicia Jonas is a dance studio owner and marketing strategist for studio owners who want to create thriving, heart-centered businesses doing work they love while building a life that is beyond their wildest dreams. QUICK TAKEAWAYS: Alicia wanted to get out of her business so she could actually work her business, instead of worrying about if things are getting done in the background. She was getting so bogged down with small details that she couldn’t look at her business from a “big picture” lens. This desire facilitated her interest in automation.Alicia owns a brick and mortar children’s dance and music studio in St. Louis, while also running an online marketing company helping other studio owners systematize and automate their brick and mortars.Her secret sauce to creating a 6-figure business is let go, hire a team, and spend less time in your business. This shift can and will make a bigger impact because you’re not tied to the nitty gritty details, instead you can step into the role of a CEO who has a te

In today’s episode I want to work through three things NOT to do if you want to use your Facebook Group to grow your business. Time and time again women come to me telling me that their Facebook Group is dead, or that their ideal client isn’t even on Facebook. And if that’s you, I have some tough love for you. The reason why your Facebook Group isn’t working for you, is YOU. And so today I want you start to unpack this a bit and show you that a Facebook Group can be an amazing lead generation tool, when done correctly.My point of view with Facebook Groups is that they are beneficial for all online entrepreneurs. Facebook is the world’s largest social media network and with 2.2 BILLION users it’s not going anywhere anytime soon, so odds are that your ideal client is on Facebook. Again, it’s a matter of using your Group strategically and intentionally to grow your business.QUICK TAKEAWAYS:Your Facebook Group is not a billboard for your business.Oftentimes, as the expert in the room, it can be hard to list

One of the common points of confusion for online entrepreneurs are Facebook Pages vs. Facebook Groups! What’s the point of a Facebook Group?Is having both going to be a TON of work? Does having both make sense for your business? How are they different? Facebook Pages and Facebook Groups are two very different tools within Facebook’s platform that work in two very different ways. The strategy behind each tool needs to be different because of the unique qualities that each have. The disconnect between the function of Pages vs. Groups is just that, the strategy! Most online entrepreneurs spin their wheels thinking that Facebook Pages and Groups just aren’t for them and their business because they lack an effective strategy for taking those audiences and turning them into leads.In today’s podcast episode I’m chatting all about the distinct differences between Pages and Groups and why both need to be treated differently. I’ll also be sharing a bit more about Facebook’s notorious algorithm, and realistic expect

Do you have a hard time saying “NO”? If you do, I want you to know that I do too! As an enneagram 9w8 I’m a people pleaser, but I immediately regret and resent you (the person I pleased) for me saying yes to you. Totally rational and fair, right?! *insert eye roll*But in our businesses, and our personal lives for that matter, saying “NO” has to be done. By saying “YES” all the time to everything and everyone it’s a drain. And if you’re showing up to serve your clients or even your family, drained, I’d argue you’re doing them a HUGE disservice and those two groups of people deserve your best.By saying “NO” to things that don’t 100% serve you, you are saying “YES” to your goals, your future, and your expertise. I view saying "NO" as a revenue-producing activity! In today’s episode I’m going to walk you through the questions you need to be asking yourself when considering what to say “YES” to and what to say “NO” to in your business. Y’all there is POWER in saying the word “NO”! RESOURCES: If your goal f

Hey Mama! And welcome to episode #115 of The 6-Figure Mompreneur Podcast! I’m so excited for this new shift and direction in the podcast and I hope you are too! To celebrate the new focus, today’s episode revolves around the action behind becoming a 6-figure mompreneur. With every single coach I’ve ever worked with I’ve always wanted to know the action behind their success. What do they do daily that contributes to their success? What habits do they have? What do they actually do in their business? What does their life look like? All of these things contribute to their success and after years of researching, interviewing, and asking 6-figure mompreneurs about these things, I’ve discovered some commonalities, that are not what I thought I’d find! So in today’s episode I’m sharing with you what I’ve learned over the past 3+ years regarding what it actually takes to create a 6-figure online business. I’m sharing the habits, the focus, and the purpose behind the action that 6-figure earners create in order
