175: Uncorking the Secrets of Podcast Monetization
00:26:54
In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of podcast monetization. So grab your favorite wine, because we're about to uncork some serious wisdom.
First up: premium content. Think exclusive bonus episodes and behind-the-scenes gossip. You can charge for it, darling, whether you're on Buzzsprout or Apple. It's like having a VIP lounge in your podcast feed. Who needs velvet ropes when you've got premium content?
Next, repurpose those guest appearances like a pro. Turn them into gold mines with throwback episodes and Insta-worthy takeovers. Because who said old episodes can't have a new lease on life? It's like giving your content a makeover and sending it off to the podcast runway.
And let's talk sponsored ads. Remember, it's all about those seamless, host-read ads. You want your listeners to feel like they're sipping on a fine wine while enjoying your podcast, not chugging cheap beer at a frat party.
Now, how do you keep your audience engaged without drowning them in ads? Dive into those analytics, track those behaviors, and adjust like a boss. It's like playing chess with your audience, but instead of pawns, you're moving data points. Checkmate, algorithms!
Armed with UTM codes and killer sponsor pitches, you'll be attracting top-notch sponsors faster than you can say "cheers!" So, grab your glass (or beverage of choice) and let's toast to pouring profits through podcasting.
Until next time, keep sipping success, podcasters!

Ep 168: 10 Ways To Guarantee Your Podcast Fails in 2024
00:25:32
2024 has started off on a bang! On today's episode. I'm spilling the tea on the 10 surefire ways your podcast is headed for failure in 2024 if you don't make some crucial changes.
🎙️ Rule #1: Don't skip market research! Just like cleaning your closet, understanding your Ideal Client Avatar (ICA) is essential. Market conditions change daily, and your ideal listener's struggles evolve. It's time to dig deep and get up close and personal with your audience.
💡 Rule #2 (00:07:10): Update those social media marketing tactics. Audiograms on Instagram reels? Sorry, darling, they're out. I'll spill the beans on what's trending and how to capture your audience's attention in 2024.
🎤 Rule #3 (00:08:45): Have a specific goal in mind when recording. Don't pick up the mic and start babbling aimlessly. Your podcast should tie into your business with a strong call to action. Know your niche, speak directly to your audience, and have a strategic plan.
📊 Rule #4 (00:10:19): Don't obsess over download numbers. Instead, focus on crucial analytics like listener retention. Understand how far into the episode your audience is staying. It's not about downloads; it's about engagement.
🎯 Rule #5 (00:12:57): Think big, not small. Set measurable goals that excite you. Whether it's consistency or a specific episode count, make sure your goals are achievable and align with your business strategy.
💻 Rule #6 (00:13:52): Keep your podcasting process simple. Podcasting is hard but simple. Avoid overcomplicating the process with extensive checklists. Create, outline, record, and schedule—keep it straightforward.
👭 Rule #7 (00:15:03): Don't go into this alone. Get yourself a business or podcasting bestie. Accountability partners are essential to keep you on track and motivated. Consider joining a community like Podcast Her Network for support.
📈 Rule #8 (00:17:23): Don't ignore your analytics. Dive deep into your podcast's analytics to understand your audience better. Where are they coming from, and who is your ideal listener? Let the data guide your decisions.
🌟 Rule #9 (00:18:52): Reviews are so last year. In 2024, Apple cares more about new subscribers than reviews. Focus on getting more people to listen and subscribe—word on the street is, it's the key to climbing the charts.
🚀 Rule #10 (00:22:00): Don't be everywhere. Instead of spraying your content on every platform, master one or two. Tailor your content to the platform and engage deeply with your audience. Quality over quantity, always.
Ready to level up your podcast game in 2024? Tune in, take notes, and let's make your podcast a roaring success! 🚀🎧

Confession: I'm Overwhelmed, Here's What I'm Doing About It and Puppy Porn?
00:17:25
In this episode of "The B Word," I'm back, and boy, do I have a story for you! So, picture this: it's January, and I'm at this awesome retreat, feeling all pumped up for the new year. Then bam! I get a call from my husband, Jeff. Now, Jeff's the kind of guy who avoids doctors like the plague, but this time, he's in such excruciating pain that we end up rushing him to the ER. Turns out, it's kidney stones. 🩺 Yeah, those little devils.
Fast forward to April, and Jeff's still battling those stones. Meanwhile, my daughter Emily breaks her toe at a trampoline park, and not just any break—90 degrees straight down. So, yeah, that's the health drama in the Bolt household.
But wait, there's more! I've hired new people to help with the business, and let's just say, one of them dropped the ball big time. Cue the stress and overwhelm. I mean, trying to juggle family health crises and business woes? It's been a rollercoaster, to say the least.
But I'm not one to stay down for long. I've got my strategies for tackling overwhelm, like going back to reading for pleasure (Sarah J. Moss, anyone?), leaning on friends for support (shoutout to Christina!), and dialing back on social media scrolling (bye-bye, puppy videos 🐾🐾🐾 ).
Oh, and let's not forget the power of music. I'm talking Lauren Daigle and Zac Brown Band soothing my soul while I tackle chores around the house.
Chances are, if you're an entrepreneur, you're likely gong to face overwhelm yourself at some point. It coud be business related, family related, or like me...both. So let's have a chat about how exactly I'm handling it so that you can do the same when you inevitably find yourself in this season of life too. We've all been there my friend.

184: Summer Slowdown: Why Your Podcast Downloads Dip in July (And Why It's Totally Okay)
00:15:23
I want to share a little insider secret with you. If you’ve noticed a dip in your podcast downloads, I know it can feel like a real punch in the gut. Trust me, I've been there, and it's totally normal to happen during July, so don’t stress!
Here’s the thing: summertime is all about beach days, vacations, and soaking up the sun. People are lounging with a good book or spending quality time with family and friends, which means they might not be listening to podcasts as much.
This seasonal dip happens to a lot of podcasters. It’s just part of the natural ebb and flow. Instead of worrying, use this time to refresh and plan. Maybe brainstorm new content, batch record some episodes, or even take a little break yourself.
Remember, it’s not about the short-term numbers; it’s about the long-term connection you’re building with your audience. They’ll be back, earbuds in hand, ready to dive into your amazing content before you know it.
So, embrace the summer vibes, enjoy a little downtime, and know that you’re right on track.

5 Ways You're Showing Up Wrong On Social Media: A House is NOT a brand....You Are
00:04:38

Get Off The Struggle Bus Of Social Media & Make Your Post More Personal
00:07:41
It's day 2 of our social media tip week and we tackled one of the scariest pieces of social media. The need to showcase our private life.
I know you're scared to show your human side, but make sure you do. That doesn't mean you have to show off your kids, or even your husband or partner. You can show up as a real human by posting some occasional dog stuff, workout information, or show the daily weather outside your window. I don't care what it is-just get personal with us. That's what makes you relatable and that's what makes your prospective client CRAVE working with you!

00:05:16

The 10-10-5 Rule To Creating A Better Social Media Engagement Strategy
00:09:11
We're continuing this week with why your social media strategy is STUCK and not going anywhere! Reason #4 is this. Your Engagement is lacking. Sure you've starting posting some content that is both personal AND professional...but that's not all you need to do in order to grow your brand and serve your potential clients.
🖐 WHOA WHOA WHOA🖐 She told just me there's MORE to this social media stuff than just showing up with some posts and videos. UGH!
I’ve got good news for you 🎉
Commenting increases your engagement points, strengthens your relationships to your potential clientele, & improves your social media presence because the socials (we're talking mainly Instagram and Facebook) weigh “meaningful interactions” - comments, conversations & direct messages PRETTY DARN HEAVY when determining how to sort & serve your content in the feed
Oh and Then there's this: You get Free 👀 Branding. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
ummm...how you ask? Because when you comment or DM someone, their phone sends up a notification. Duh. Which means they see your profile pic & name in the notifications & then again when they check out the comment/DM.
✨ The best part ✨ You have no excuse to not do this. You can do this in the mornings, evenings, sitting at a closing waiting on the mortgage company to fund, waiting in the doctors office for your yearly checkup, while pumping gas
You get the picture.
I'm even going to give you an implementable strategy to use. It's my 10-10-5 method. Yes I do this EVERY DAY and Yes it works.
Listen in to the end for the strategy YOU can use to increase your engagement on social media...and thus increase your leads and referrals!

Creating Videos for Social Media Doesn't Need To Make You Break Out In Hives
00:11:35
Let's face it. Video killed the radio star...and the flat posting strategy of most real estate agents.
Today's agent needs to show up on video, show up authentically, and show up often.
So just how do we do that?!! 👀
1. Stop overthinking and just post it anyway
2. Practice, practice, practice
3. Show up as YOU boo. The you that will show up at your listing presentation or showing homes.
Here's the good news🎉
Showing up daily on video DOES get easier, it DOES get to be a no-brainer for you and it DOES increase your relatability to your potential client. Just listen in and find out!

You got it. Interest rates have gone up and that means that a pre-approval you had your buyer obtain 2 weeks ago may not be an accurate reflection of their buying power today! So before you start your weekend showings-check in with your loan officer and see if your buyer needs to be pre-approved a second time.
Today we chatted with Khristine Hartman, of Bay Equity Home Loans to get her thoughts and opinions on how you can help your buyer win the bid, what mortgages are looking like these days and tips on being a great agent from a lender perspective.
Yes ladies. You really do need to keep up with the mortgage minute news of the week!

It's the wild, wild west of real estate sales right now, but a good CMA still goes a long way toward creating confidence in your seller that you ARE the professional and know what you're doing. It can also assist you in wrangling them in when they want to outrageously price their home just because they think they can.
Here's a little tip: you need more than a valuation from Zillow or the top 3 comparables you found in your MLS. You need as much data as you can gather to state your case-especially if an appraisal is going to potentially be needed.
And even in this market, you can never guarantee that there won't be an appraisal contingency!
So go on. Listen in and find out what additional tool I use to crush it on my listing prices.

Mind Your P's & Q's to Eliminate The Stress Of Multiple Offers!
00:08:07
Oops 😅 I did it again. I started a topic of conversation this morning on The B-Word Podcast 🎧 that I'm not hearing anywhere else. You may want to mark this as a favorite episode to come back to again and again. It's that juicy!
What did I dive into? Overwhelm on the listings agents.
Now, I realize that the buyer's agents are also super stressed and overwhelmed right now (and I'll address that in future episodes!) but before you start yelling at them when your buyer couldn't get an appointment to see a home, or because you have NO CLUE why your offer wasn't accepted please 🚦stop and consider that they are also stressed out and overwhelmed.
So how do we help? Big clue here listing agents. It's all about 🤷🏼♀️ Scripts Scripts Scripts. Yeah you hate scripts, but in the form of an email 📧 template they aren't as scary to use and they sure do help eliminate the stress.
I've got 2 scripts to use. ⚡️Responding to multiple offers ⚡️Setting showing time expectations
Listen in to hear them, and then connect with me in The Real Boss Women Facebook Group to grab a copy of my script! or heck, DM me on Insta. You roll how you want girlfriend. I'll respond to it all.
Oh Hey Bestie! You know how much a good referral means to YOU in your business? Well it does to me too! So do a sista a favor and share this episode in YOUR stories and tag me and a friend! I see everyone and appreciate in advance your help here!

Top 3 Inappropriate Things I've Been Asked On A Listing Appointment by A Potential Seller
00:09:03
If you've never had a potential seller get inappropriate with you, then wait for it. It'll happen eventually.
So how do you handle it? With grace, dignity, and maybe even a little humor. Having your scripts on hand and ready to roll will help get you OUT of an awkward situation, and out the door of that listing appointment!
I give you permission to say "no" to some sellers. It's not worth your commission, your reputation, or your integrity.
In today's episode, I'll dive into the top 3 inappropriate questions I've gotten on listing appointments.
1:30 Inappropriate Question #1 "Will you agree to have Sex with Me" 3:39 Inappropriate Question #2 "Can I list out acceptable names of people to purchase my home based on my ability to pronounce them?" 5:23 Inappropriate Question #3 "Can I come have a glass of wine at your house while mine is being shown?" 6:20 Joanne gives you permission to leave and turn down taking a listing

Gift Giving With Strategic Intent To Land A Real Estate Listing
00:08:16
If you don't have a strategy and intention for everything you do as a Realtor, you may as well just throw away your money.
Go ahead. Start now. Just toss it up into the air and I'll come catch it. That's about how effective doing ANYTHING without intent is.
So how does leaving a gift with a potential seller the day before the listing consultation result in nailing the listing? Because WHAT you leave should be thought out to evoke responses from your potential seller that when you listen to what they say, you pick up on where they land on the DISC profile.
Hear their words. Know how they tend to think and react, and then you can adjust your scripts to meet them verbally where they need you to.
A high "D" on the DISC needs to soften their tone when speaking with a high "I". A high "I" needs to cut to the point when dealing with a high "D".
Have you ever considered that? It's not just body language. It's our verbiage too.
So what do I put in my gift and how do I gauge responses? Listen in and find out.
This episode is an expert from the coaching that I did in the private Facebook group for Real Boss Women-Community. If you're a woman in real estate, or heck just a woman who's running a business then you NEED to hop in the group and benefit from being in the coaching session so that you can raise your hand, ask questions, and gain clarity on running YOUR business like the boss you are.
What are you waiting for? We've got our champagne on ice just waiting on YOU to join in.

Other Than 💰 Price, What's THE Most Important Thing We Discuss Today?
00:07:31
It's my favorite question to ask at a Listing Consultation, and believe it or not, it's the one that finalizes me as the selected agent.
Most agents waste their time talking AT the prospective client. I talk WITH them and get straight to the heart of what's important.
And I utilize my knowledge of the DISC profiles to carefully select my words, modify my tone and ensure that I'm meeting that client where they are in order for them to be HEARD.
It's what sets me apart, and I'm going to share the secret with you on HOW to do it in this episode.

I Do My Hair Toss, Check My Nails. Baby How We Feeling?
00:04:53
If there's one question that I get asked all the time from newer agents, it's this.
"What in the heck should I wear when meeting clients?"
It's really way more simple than you can ever image, and ironically it starts with social media.
Yep, I just said that. What you should wear is determined by how you show up on social media. You can't send mixed messages, or the client will be confused and potentially not relate to you as a professional. Because I can guarantee one thing. They've looked you up WAY before they ever picked their cell phone up to call you and make an appointment.
So show up to work, how you show up to play. It's going to be oK. I promise.

In 2022, People Are Doing Business With People More Than Ever
00:07:44
Let's face it. In 2022, people have started to do business with the faces that they recognize and trust. Major corporations are moving away from symbols and colors, and moving into the space of hiring a face to build a brand that connects with their ideal consumer.
Take Flo from Progressive Insurance for instance. She's iconic and recognizable. And you immediately think of Progressive when you think of her.
How are you building your brand so that you're recognizable and relatable? Are you leaning on your broker's colors and brand, or on your own face and voice to do so?
Building a brand people trust is the most sustainable way to create the business you crave. So what's stopping you?

Has anybody noticed lately that the socials are having a small identity crisis? There seems to be a focus on Tik Tok and Instagram to show you recommendations as much, if not more, than the people or accounts you already follow. They are paying attention to what your habits are, what times of day you play online, what you search, and who you’re creeping on.
So how do you become a recommendation that they give to your ideal potential client? Believe it or not, it's by being extraordinarily average and consistently showing up on video. You need your face and your voice to be heard.
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Linkedin. They are all moving toward the future of social media and showing their audience recommendations. Don't let this trend escape you and take advantage of it to the fullest.
Here’s the good news. At least in my opinion. Short form video is where it’s at ladies. Flat out, our attention spans as a culture is about as long as the gestation period for a fruit fly. This means you don’t have to create 30 minute videos on the benefits of buying a home, or what exactly a 30 year conventional loan is. You can create material that is short, informative, speaks to your ideal audience, and then move on to the next one.
And humanize it! If you want to hear more about that, take a quick listen to episode 23 that we did a few months ago.
In this episode I specifically dive into 5 ways to gain more confidence on video and show up the best version of you in order to create raving fans.
Make sure to follow me on Instagram @itsjoannebolt and give me a tag in that homework I assign toward the end of the episode.
And finally-sign up to join us in June for our Chic Clique mastermind. I can't wait to meet you in person!

Real Estate agents are notorious for blowing off vacation time. Or taking one at the last minute when we feel we have time. Is that a good strategy to take in your career or are you setting yourself up for burnout and overwhelm?
I'll give it to you real. Deciding on vacation at the last minute is a disaster waiting to happen. Don't be the agent that leans over the beach balcony taking calls all morning while her kids are playing in the surf. You'll regret it later in life.
There are 5 pillars of topics I discuss often here on the B-Word and Self Care if one of them. Save this episode when you need to come back and ensure yourself that YES. Vacations are not only ok to take-real ones where you unplug from the phone and email-but highly encouraged!

5 Things To Capitalize On During The Market Shift So That Your Business Doesn't Derail
00:14:40
In today's episode, I'm coming in how with 5 perspectives you probably haven't considered in the market shift we are seeing. While everyone else is telling you the same 'ole same 'ole ways to shift your business, I want to challenge your mindset on a few things.
5 Things To Capitalize On During The Market Shift
01:42 1. Get back to the Fundamentals!
Create and maintain your email list. It doesn't matter which CRM you use, or if you simply use an email system like mailchimp or Convertkit. An email list is an essential foundation of your empire.
Create a solid marketing plan. Social media is by far my favorite way to market, and most of it is organic and free. If you're looking to jump start you social media strategy, join us for the Social Media Challenge starting July 6, or monthly for our C-Suite virtual days. I bring in tons of experts on the matter!
04:46 2. Solidify Relationships
Ok so this is an interesting one. I can promise you, there's an agent out there you've pissed off the last few months during the epic seller's market we were in. Now is the time to make amends, grab a cup of coffee and say "hey, let's be friends again". You need the community of your fellow Realtors and their support as you forge ahead in the days to come.
There's a good chance you've lost touch with some of your referral sources in the haze and craze of the last year. Now is a good time to reach back out and chat. However, stay away from scare tactics. We don't need to create a panic of buyers who all think the doom is coming with rising interest rates. It's our job to educate, not create unrealistic panic.
08:25 3. Be the Expert!
Here's a good tip for new agents. Go and see homes. Seriously-for the next 30 days go and preview 3 homes a day in the areas you wish to sell. Your knowledge of what's expected in an area, what's top of the line, and what's below par will expand. This will help you as new clients start asking questions. You won't have to go find the answer, because you'll already know it.
09:54 4. Expand your Influence
Reaching out and getting to now agents in other areas is critical if you want to build a sustainable referral piece of your business. Stop relying on Facebook groups to hand your name out and go BE the name others agents drop. Attend events like the Work, Play, Slay Event by Real Boss Women in Nashville, TN. Spend time daily communicating with agents across the country vis social media. Get out there and be seen!
11:42 5. The Mass Exodus is Coming. Are you Ready?
When times are good, people grab a license and sell. When times mean you actually have to work to obtain a client, tons of those agents will leave the business. Watch for the signs in your area and be prepared to pick up new business along the way.
Or, are you the agent that needs to find another form of work? Where's your super power and what lane do you want to drive in? Now may be the time to look for new and exciting opportunities!

The #1 Social Media Mistake that you're making as a Real Estate Agent, or Mortgage Loan Officer is this....showing up differently than you would in person.
Is your mind blown? I bet you thought you were showing up exactly the same online as you do in person. Think again though.
Would you ever toss your business cards in the room and walk away? Or refuse to answer someone's personal question and tell them you only discuss business? I bet not. So why would you online?
Here's 2 tips to uncomplicate this for you so that you can get out of your own way and starting winning the social media day: 1. What to post on your feed 2. What to post in your stories
And here's a bonus! How do you create solid relationships online after you've done the posting? I'll give you a hint. You do NOT post and ghost. Instead you focus on engaging with your audience and answering their DMs and comments quickly.
Speed to lead is still critical here folks. Can't really get around that one!

How To Begin Investing In Real Estate For $27.40 a Day
00:17:48
ANYONE can learn how to set themselves up for retirement, by investing in Real Estate.
Ok Ok hang on. You mean you AREN'T investing in Real Estate? 😮 You sell it, but don't utilize it as a way to generate a retirement income portfolio for yourself and your family?
Why the Forking Shirtballs NOT???
Sweet friend, if I could make a wild guess, I'd say that you just groaned out loud and came up with a million reasons why you're not investing. In fact, you probably have a laundry load of reasons why not--You're broke, too young, too old, too many other bills to pay, don't want to be a landlord, lack the skills to renovate or decorate--this list goes on and on and on doesn't it?
And even though as a Real Estate Agent or Broker, you probably have worked with investors at some point in your career, you've never considered yourself to be one. You've never asked yourself the question "Well why in the forking shirtballs am I not doing this?"
I asked myself that question 14 years ago and decided to dig in and begin building a portfolio. Today, my husband and I have multiple properties in various locations, and they all provide solid passive income. But I know you have to start somewhere so I've got some easy peasy tips on just how you can get started. And pumpkin, it's all for $27.40 a day. That's legitimately less than what I spend at Target or Starbucks on any given occasion.
So if you're ready to stop helping other investors and begin to be one yourself, tune in to hear:
[4:04] A Simple Way to Start
[5:08] You need roughly $10,000 to begin investing. This number may change depending on your goals, but it's a good start. Here's how to create that money
[7:47] My pro tip of investing. Set up your accounts to be in a ghost type view where you don't look at them every time you open your mobile device. It's a set it and forget it method so that you're not tempted to dive into that money for anything other than what it's intended for.
[10:35] I'm busting some myths that surround your real estate career in order to help you bust through the mind block you seem to be having around investing
[11:32] Here's another way you can use that $10,000 to create retirement wealth and a portfolio
[15:33] See you in Nashville! Now that you've started to consider investing it's time to meet up with the Real Boss Women and do a fireside chat on propelling that goal further. I've got Sharane Dorrah, aka The Investress, joining us there to show you creative ways to finance that investment--how to look at it in a way that works for you--and more
Now for the REALLY good stuff: If you want to move your license to a brokerage where Revenue Share and passive income are a real thing, let's chat. You should be here at eXp Realty with me (where I partner with and mentor tons of agents just like yourself). Choose Joanne Bolt as your sponsor at eXp

Spoiler Alert: The way you've been taught to work referrals needs to change
This series by far has been one of my favorite to produce, because working by referrals is LITERALLY how I built my million dollar real estate business. And back when I worked for Sigma Kappa, it's also how I taught each sorority chapter to fill their membership levels. So when I think on it-referrals methods and thinking like a referral machine can be the true foundation of any business, any where. You name the industry, and I'll tell you how to create that plan and make it work.
That's the problem though isn't it? Many of you have relied on someone else helping you create your system. And to be honest, most of those people are old, outdated in their thought processes, and only looking at what worked for them. Not what the current state of the industry looks like and craves. 😲
The big question I know you're asking yourself is this: "Does modernizing my referral approach mean I have to scrap everything I've known and done and start over?"
Good news pumpkin! It does NOT. 🎆🎆🎆 It does mean you need to take what you've been doing and tweak it though.
If the thought of tweaking your mindset and system to get modern on referrals brings you the same joy and giddy feeling it does me, then tune in to hear:
[2:37] What the Forking Shirtballs IS a referral exactly?
[3:37] I'll use my Avatar "Betty" To Give You An Example Of How A Referral Really Works
[5:10] You need to understand what your job actually is in the referral process
[7:29] Modern Technique #1: It's all about THEM and how to revamp your thought process
[12:23] Pro-Tip: You need to say Thank You via a quick video and the script I use for mine
[14:07] Technique #2: Create a Real Relationship so people get to know you on a personal level
[15:32] I give an example of how a big corporation moved from a cheesy tag line to a relationship based model
This Is So Easy It's Hard....And I PROMISE You Can Implement It Immediately!
Remind me not to pop the cork on a bottle of champagne 🍾 the next time I create a series I'm so excited about. I find myself looking around for someone to share it with and then remember that you're not sitting here with me. You're in your own office, working steadily toward that amazing and updated referral approach we've been discussing since Episode 49.
Referrals are simply the piece of my business that make me want to laugh out loud with giddiness, bust out an old cheer from my cheerleading days, and make sure that everyone-and that includes you-has the ability to create them too. If for no other reason than this: you want a business that is sustainable through any market condition (and yes that included COVID-19 Lockdowns!), any change in technology, and that you can scale. That's when you really turn the dial on working smarter and not harder my friend.
So if you're sitting on the edge of your chair waiting for me to give you the next piece of my secret sauce, tune in. Oh-and make sure you grab the freebie I'm including. The Top 5 Tags For Your Referral Database. I can promise that some of them you've never considered using and that you'll want to know what they are.
Want to join me in Nashville this September and open up that database so that I can help you tag things correctly? I know you do boo! So grab a ticket NOW and make sure we have a spot reserved for you!

Referrals Without Asking Featuring Stacey Brown Randall
00:37:29
As we conclude our series on A Modern Approach To Working By Referrals, I knew I had to bring in a ringer for you to connect with. After all, my philosophy at the Real Boss Women is Real Life. Real Fun. Real Business and one of the things I value the most is connection over competition.
So of course, I had to grab a quick conversation with Stacey Brown Randall. Stacey is the referral ninja, known for her podcast Roadmap To Grow Your Business, and the author of "Generating Business Referrals Without Asking"
Stacey is a keynote speaker at our upcoming Work, Play, Slay event in Nashville this September and if you're craving hearing her in a setting where you can raise your hand and ask questions. This is it folks.
I loved this conversation with Stacey because we align so much in our thinking on how to handle referrals, and that what you've always been taught probably isn't what is going to work now. And I won't lie-her philosophies are going to really leave you shaking your head and rethinking your entire database.
So if you're ready to start your database, or fine tune yours to perfection and need a little kick in the pants to do so, here's a little glimpse into the episode:
[4:33] Stacey's Keynote is all about referral strategies
[5:04] Stacey brings the truth on why the way we work our database is wrong
[8:19] Being commission base brings the anxiety
[9:50] There are 2 things you need to be able to know from your database
[14:10] The gold star layer
[19:16] Stacey's strategy is based on science
[22:20] The reality of closing a cold lead vs. a warm referral
[26:38] Why People ACTUALLY refer
[29:16] The hardest thing to wrap your mind around

Welcome to The B Word, the podcast for women in real estate and women entrepreneurs with families who want to unlock the clarity needed to put your big girl panties on and rock your career like the true boss you are.

This is another candid gals conversation in the Empire Building series about what it REALLY (like REALLY) takes to make it in 'this' business. But, more importantly, Amy is just brilliant on BOTH what is takes to make it in this business while ALSO 'making it' in the game of motherhood and being a thriving, successful, healthy, sassy and savvy business women.
She also dives into some hand-on tactical predictions and tips for the current market and how to continue to succeed regardless of the ebbs and flows that always come in Real Estate.

Today we’re going to talk about the myth of the overnight success and debunk it big time. I know you’ve been as guilty as me at looking at someone else and seeing what you believe are their overnight results.
Social media really makes this easy to do because you stumble upon someone doing what you're doing, or in the industry you’re in and suddenly you’re inundated with their current picture. And let’s be honest here-most of the people you’re watching aren’t ones you have immediate access to where you can pour a nice glass of wine, curl up on the couch and start gabbing to pick their brain.
What happens next? Likely you tend to believe in that you’re not as good as they are because your journey isn’t taking off as quickly as it 'should' be. You may even think you’ll never get to where they are because of perceived abilities, skill sets, or environments.(you all know what I mean here).
BUT, that's why I wanted to do a show on this topic - because I don't want you to let mindset get you - based on myths. I want to encourage you to not let yourself go down that path, but instead to pick yourself up and remember that everyone starts somewhere.
The myth that it happens overnight is truly that: a myth, and as one of my friends recently reminded me: Comparison is the thief of joy. When you spend too much time and energy comparing yourself to someone else, you’ll never enjoy where you are in YOUR journey.
I’ll give you practical advice based on my own personal struggles - on how to overcome this myth-mindset trap...listen to the full episode where I will walk you through how you can move past this mindset trap.

It's time to Niche, B**ch! (Noooow say that in a Brittney Spears voice and laugh out loud with me)
All joking aside, this week I'm kicking off a 6-part series on all things Real Estate Niches: What are they are, how to choose yours, what to do with them once you do and much more. Today is Part1 focusing on first time homebuyers and mom's of toddlers niches.
If I'm being totes honest, this series is going to be super fun for me, even more than the referral series I just wrapped up in July (if you haven't already check those episodes out here)
Why? Well, one of my favorite things to do in business is to really solidify a brand so that when I market and work with it, I’m the expert (YOU will be the expert after this series). If you’re a Realtor I can guarantee you’re asking yourself right now “why would I niche? I want to work with ALL buyers and sellers!” Am I right?
So grab a glass of prosecco 🍾 with me and let’s dive into a series I’ve created just for you and it’s all about niches. Today’s episode in particular I’m getting candid on 2 of the best ones for new agents and high “I” on the DISC profile = those First Time Homebuyers, and moms of young toddlers
And, TRUST me please; by niching down in Real Estate you become less of a Jacqueline of all trades, master of none, but instead, you'll make yourself a true SME (subject matter expert) in your chosen niche. PLUS, the more you work in a niche the better you become at honing all the various aspects of your business that you’ll need. Your knowledge gets better, your social media becomes targeted, your referral systems are refined, and heck even your contract to close process becomes buttoned up.
If I'm speaking your language BUT you're still not sure what niche would best fit YOUR personality type as a Realtor -- well you're in luck. I created a niche type quiz specifically for Real Estate agents (aka YOU). It will discover your type, give recommendations on who to work with, AND it curates a list of podcast episodes you need to dive into to get in the right mindset to go forth and make your niche happen with ease and efficiency.
So, if you want a shortcut to your niche then these are the next steps:
1-TEXT the word 'NicheQuiz' to 678-968-7740.
2-RIGHT NOW - hit the subscribe button on your podcast player so that when Thursday’s episode drops you’ll have it loaded up and ready to go. On Thursday I’m diving into a few other niches I love in Real Estate and think you will too.
3-Please consider leaving a review to help other women find my content here. If you tag me on IG @realbosswomen with a screenshot of your review then you'll be entered into a monthly contest for a $25 Amazon gift card.
Until part 2 of the series, cheers for now,
~Joanne

I'm Continuing Our 'Niche Building' Conversation Today With A Niche I Built A $56 Million Dollar Business in.... The Divorce Niche!
If you've ever met me in person, you quickly realize that I'm not a high "I" on the DISC profile. In fact, most of the time my high "D" enters the room well before I do. Perhaps that's the reason I excelled in a niche that I'm not even a part of. Happily married for almost 20 years here, but boy could my team and I work the Divorce field like true champs.
The key to this niche is remembering that neutrality isn't just for Switzerland. It's for agents who work with divorcing clients. That, and maintaining a cool and level head while things get crazy and clients get a little wack-a-doodle in their thinking.
This niche tends to lean toward the more experience agents, or like I was...the team agents. So if you're a newer agent you may want to go back to episode 55 where I dive into the New Home Buyer and Mom Of Toddler niche.
If you want a shortcut to your niche then these are the next steps:
1-TEXT the word 'NicheQuiz' to 678-968-7740.
2-RIGHT NOW - hit the subscribe button on your podcast player so that when next week's episode drops you’ll have it loaded up and ready to go. On Tuesday I’m diving into a few other niches I love in Real Estate and think you will too.

I'm finishing up my series on selecting a niche for your Real Estate Career, and today it's all about the lifestyle niche. We started back in EP 55 chatting about great niches for new agents, and then moved to EP 56 that's more for the trendy, experienced agent and now I'll hop into a niche that you boojee go-getters will adore.
I call it the lifestyle niche and define it in 2 ways:
The lifestyle of what's around me
The lifestyle of WHO do I want around me
In this episode I help you uncover the fun ways you can look at where you live and develop your niche around areas that not be available everywhere else in the country.
And then I'll show you some examples of the totally unexpected niche a few of my students curated for themselves just based off of what they are passionate about in everyday life.
Finally I'll end the episode by handing you the blueprint of questions I always ask when considering how to move forward in a niche strategy. This is a small but mighty packed episode and I promise you'll want to jump back to episode 55 and start the entire series over again when you finish. You may find that you listen to it with a totally different mindset this time around!

EP 65: Scaling Your Business With A Podcast Featuring Lizzy Phillips
00:27:19
When I stop and consider all the various ways you can scale your business, I am constantly amazed at how many options there are. Especially when you nail it down to one little fact of life: in order to scale, you must grow the size of your audience.
Today's episode features my good friend Lizzy Phillips, co-host of The Modern Real Estate Agents Podcast (which drops a new episode every Monday). LIzzy and her husband Johnny are a husband/wife Realtor team in Flowery Branch, GA and hang their licenses with eXp Realty.
Lizzy and I take a candid look inside just why she and Johnny decided to start a Podcast. She openly shares how they have a passion for helping new agents succeed and they wanted a way to grow that audience.
She and Johnny named their Ideal Client Avatar "Bob" and dialed into just what Bob would want. The answer? A mentor who was currently in production, doing exactly what they teach to do, and going through the ups and downs of the Real Estate Industry with them. They knew that Bob would need help, guidance, and a place to ask the questions he (or she!) was afraid to ask in an office setting.
Now, The Phillips team has multiple agents under them, they are sucessfully also growing and mentoring a revenue share team at eXp Realty for passive income, AND they have a thriving podcast audience that often joins their Facebook community as that place to ask the questions. I know I pop in there on the regular to offer guidance myself!
What does this engaged and growing audience also mean? If you guessed referrals from across the country then you guessed correctly. In short, their podcast is doing exactly what they wanted to achieve with this strategy, and doing it very well.
Lizzy ends the episode with giving 7 tips on how YOU can get started with your own podcast and things to consider along the way.

EP 58: Be The Thermostat, Not The Thermometer With Liz Brown
00:31:19
Remember back in Episode 56 when I brought up Divorce as a niche and you thought to yourself "Nobody actually does that!" (don't deny it...you totally did!) Well To conclude this niche series I brought in a special Realtor friend, Liz Brown to share how she works in the Divorce Niche.
Liz is an active member in the Real Boss Women community, and loves to give back and mentor others. She's an award-winning and top-producing real estate expert specializing in personalized, boutique service across the Triangle. As the owner and broker in charge, her ambition is to create and cultivate relationships and partnerships with clients that stand the test of time. Whether it is your real estate needs, a restaurant recommendation, or professional advice, Liz is here to assist you as a long-term resource.
I loved it when she said one of the main things to remember is that your clients are emotionally charged, and it's a situation where you have to be the thermostat, not the thermometer. It's up to you to set the temp of the process, and keep it nice and cool.
Here's a sneak peak into the episode: 2:07 Meet Liz Brown

EP 62: Creating a Money 💸 Mindset With Kanani Briggs
00:27:19
Let's Make It RAIN boo!
Did anyone else just mentally picture scrooge mcduck sending out money bags everywhere? I bet I just dated myself.
But let's be honest here. We're not in business to NOT make money so there's no point in pretending otherwise. I bet not one of you can argue that while you'd love to be a millionaire, you really just have a desire to make a certain level of income to create a financial cushion for your family.
How women look at money is interesting to me. We tend to give it away faster than our male counterparts (in terms of lowering our commissions), and since a Realtor IS commission based there's often no set 'way' of knowing if you are actually in a healthy relationship with your bank account.
That's why I've brought in Kanani Briggs for this convo. Because this girlfriend is a certified money mindset coach, one of the facilitators for the Chic Clique Masterminds that we host here at the Real Boss Women, AND an empowerer of women.

00:25:43
Grab Your Bright Pink Felt Pen, a notebook, and be ready to take notes on this episode because I GUARANTEE you're making at least ONE of these mistakes.
I loved recording this episode so much, and hearing from Jenny Friday about the Top 10 Things she sees Realtors do WRONG on their social media. Jenny is a former Realtor turned Social Media Marketer for Realtors. Her role in the Real Estate Ecosystem is to help you as the agent crank out good content, that is a value to your audience vs. the same old boring BS that every agent on the planet produces.
You have to stand out in your industry and that's what she loves helping you do.

EP 61: Joanne's Top 10 Boundaries To Avoid Burnout 😊
00:23:08
Setting boundaries CAN help you avoid burnout!
Did you know that a typical Real Estate career lasts les than 3 years? I fully believe that's because of 2 things.
1. Agents don't realize when they start this business that it IS in fact, a game of sales
2. Agents don't set boundaries and burnout from the constant need to work
So let's talk about those boundaries, shall we? I've been an agent for 20 years and during the course of those years I've set lots of boundaries myself. Some of them I'm tempted to break often, and some of them will make you have an anxiety attack trying to imagine implementing. But for me-they really work.
So settle back with a good glass of Prosecco and listen in. I bet you'll end up finding a few of them that YOU can set for yourself!

EP 63: A Beginner's Guide To Being a Realtor Featuring Nakia Brooks
00:44:01
From police officer to Realtor, Nakia Brooks has had a long and distinguished career. As a Realtor for the past 18 years, he's personally closed over 1200 homes (700 of them being short sales which is how he ramped up his business). In the last 7 years he hasn't sold homes himself, instead investing in coaching and mentoring agents at the brokerage he opened in North Georgia.
In this episode, Nakia talks about being the upcoming President to NAMAR Board of Realtors, and how humbled he was to recently be awarded the Realtor of the Year award for the Georgia Association of Realtors. He's literally 1 of 52,000 nominees and holds the honor proudly. He shares several tips on how you as an agent should be using the board you're a member of (even if you're like me and often times forget to pay your dues!)
As a bonus to this interview, I had Nakia share his top lead generation system. One that has worked for him for 16 years and the system that he shares with tons of agents to help them go from less than $1 in the bank, to being financially stable.

While as a society we've gotten quite used to taking selfies, I find that many entrepreneurs forget the importance of updating the brand photos they use.

We'll chat about mistakes I've made on some of mine, and of course I'll give you a step-by-step system to download so that you know EXACTLY what to do when planning yours.

EP 68: 10 Ways To Repurpose Your Content With Purpose
00:16:13
In the last episode of The B-Word, Episode 67, I talked about how to Plan Your Perfect Photoshoot For Your Brand. Today I'm detailing out for you the 10 ways I purposefully repurpose the content I create, and how I use those photos for that.
Repurposing your content to get the most out of what you create is one of the most often asked question of our audience, and it's one I was on the struggle bus with myself until the last year, when I put a system in place that worked for me and my business. The critical piece really is in determining where your original content comes from on a consistent basis, and then you can easily implement a system to carry it out into the world in various places.
We use tailwind to easily schedule out our content so that the daily calendar isn't overwhelmed, and we can batch it in less than 1 hour per episode. Do you want that kind of freedom back in your schedule? I know you do! Listen in and take some good notes and then text me at 678-736-8055 and tell me which one of the 10 steps you haven't thought about before.

EP 69: How Discovering Your DISC Profile Can Help You In Sales with Cynthia Matheny
00:27:55
For years I had no idea what the DISC profile really meant, and how it could help me in my career. I poo-pooed the thought that these "personality test" could nail me to a T, and be accurate. Then one day I had a member of my team tell me I was rude and blunt.
Let's be honest, I thought she was long-winded and a chatty Cathy. But it did make me start to wonder if there was something to these personality tests, and if I could leverage knowing and understanding them in order to become a better (and more thoughtful!) leader to the people on my team.
You know what? IT DID. It absolutely changed how I viewed them, how I walked into a room and spoke to them, and the mindset I took when having the easy, and the not-so-easy conversations they needed in order to grow in their business.
Cynthia Matheny is a Realtor turned DISC profile teacher. She helps people all over the country identify what their unique DISC graph is, how to understand it, and better yet....how to use it in their business to become overall better at their job.
Are you currently leading a team, diving into a sales role, or like I was and wondering why in the forking shirtballs you sometimes just don't connect with the people you feel you should? If you answered yes to any of those questions then this is the episode for you.
EP 70: Letting Go Of Failure Mentality Featuring Holiday Miller
00:35:44
Pivoting your career can feel like the scariest thing you can possibly do. I think that part of that comes from our own limiting belief that our work, or our kids, or our volunteer activities define us.
The truth is, we as women go through seasons of life as we mature and those seasons sometimes bring with them a different set of passions and interests.
Feeling Like A Quitter
Holiday, like many women didn't want to admit that as a Realtor she felt frazzled and like a failure as a mom. It's hard to work in a role where you need to be showing homes on the weekend, and also at your children's sports activities at the same time. These feelings really led to a spiral in her life because she knew she was miserable, but felt like the people around her would judge her if she quit Real Estate.
She was more afraid of what people would think, especially her own family, than of doing what felt right in her gut.
Holiday shifted her mindset to get out of failure mentality, and into the space where she could find her zone of genius and her joy. It's made all the difference in the world to her and her family and today she shares how she got here and what you need to do in order to take the step out of what you're not happy in and land joyfully in a place you are passionate about.

EP 71: 10 Things No One Told You About Being Your Own Boss
00:18:37
I came out of college with high expectations of what the working world would look like. I'll admit it...I somewhat thought it would be all sparkly and filled with exciting work trips, amazing high heeled shoes and outfits to wear, and happy hours filled with co-workers and cosmopolitans. Until my manager at the consulting firm sincerely got upset with me over taking a day off work to attend a funeral for someone who wasn't an immediate family member.
I remember thinking "you've got to be kidding me here. I have personal days off but I'm not really expected to take them?
When I did finally quit that role, I remember being on the plane back to Atlanta from Denver Colorado (where my last consultant project was based) dreaming of being my own boss. In my head the working world was now more like Carrie's world from the original "Sex in the City" HBO series. Days filled with a few hours of work, even better shopping sprees because the clothes didn't need to be 'corporate professional' and my shoes no longer needed to be the closed toed grandma shoes that the corporate world required at the time.
I honestly went into Real Estate beacuse3 I had no clue what else to do, and knew that I did need to help pay the mortgage on the house that Jeff (my husband) and I had recently purchased. So the transition into entrepreneur world wasn't a hard one for me. I naturally have lots of drive and ambition.
I do admit though that there were a few things I wish I had known in advance about being your own boss. Since there's no onboarding manual for going into business for yourself, I'll let you consider this the girlfriends guide to starting a business. The real deal of it you could say.
In today's episode I'm giving you the 10 things no one told ME about being my own boss. I want you to be prepared sunshine! Tune in and then text me at 678-736-8055 with which one resonated the most with you

EP 72: Lessons I Learned My First Year As A Podcaster
00:16:04
Can you believe it's been a year? I remember sitting down in front of the podcast mic last year with no expectations of what I wanted out of the podcast other than a fun place to give a voice to my biz.
I never expected it to take on a life of it's own and become the main portion of my business. But that's what it's done. In fact the biggest suprise of my past year is that this podcast, The B-Word is the main pillar to my business! That's part of the fun of being an entrepreneur though isn't it? Learning and growing your biz and evolving it along the way.
Regardless of what industry you're in, I looked back over the last year and realized that the lessons I've learned are applicable to everyone. Because really, running a podcast is a business in and of itself isn't it? Today I'm spilling the beans on some of my biggest lessons, aha moments, and insider info you need to know if you every considered podcasting as part of your journey.
Links mentioned in this episode: My podcast platform, Buzzsprout. Try them out by using my link and if you end up grabbing a plan with them (and omg it's cheap. Like $12 a month cheap) they'll send you a $20 Amazon Giftcard. How fun is that?

Trigger Warning! This episode isn't like any other I've ever done. I'm diving in and getting very real, and very vulnerable with you.
And I'm sharing some hard truths about my journey along the way. If you get triggered by trauma, or have children in the car this is NOT the episode to listen to!
We all have traumas in our lives. I call them big "T" traumas and little "T" traumas. But they are what make us who we are and shape everything about us.
From how we react to situations, to how we deal with our colleagues and friends. You carry your traumas with you at all times.
For me-a big "T" trauma occurred in my late 20's, when I was abducted from my Real Estate office by a potential buyer. It's that 1 in a million horrible thing that can happen to an agent....and it did.
Spoiler alert. No the abductor did not kill me. (Seriously you'd be shocked at how many people automatically think the very worst and duh. I'm the one telling the story so whew! I survived!)
Today I'm opening up and sharing a portion of the story. I'm keeping it short because most people need it in small doses. But stick around until the end because the best truth of all is right there waiting for you to hear.
If you know someone who needs to hear this story, please share the episode. I'd love to meet them and have them follow along on my journey!

EP 74: Mastering The Foundations of Referrals With Stacey Brown Randall
00:38:18
Stacey Brown Randall is the award winning author of the book Generating Business Referrals without Asking, host of the podcast Roadmap To Grow Your Own Business, and group coaching expert for business owners looking to create a sustainable flow of referrals.
In This Episode Stacey and I are diving into the 18 strategies she uses to teach how to build a referrable business. It all starts with looking at where the gaps are, and identifying 1 of the 3 Foundational Strategies you need to start with.
Foundational Strategies Stacey encourages all entrepreneurs to take a deep dive into their existing and potential referral sources first. Those are the low hanging fruit and the building blocks you need to crush before moving on and layering more pieces into your strategies. She has proven scripts for these strategies to help her clients close the deals and curate higher rates of referrals. The 3rd foundational strategy is building a Referable Client Experience.
Situational Strategies Once you're cruising through the foundational strategies like a boss, Stacey teaches you to layer on Situational Strategies to enhance the overall process. She calls this 'strategy stacking' (a process where you focus on adding in ONE layer before the next in order to avoid overwhelm).
Next Level Strategies The final step in your mastering the referral process is to layer on next level strategies. These are things like referral relationship transfer (a FABULOUS technique for team owners to learn!).
Since we're discussing referrals, I'm going to ask a favor of YOU my friend. Will you take 2 seconds and send this podcast episode to a friend? By referring The B-Word to others, you'll help grow my business, and I in turn can help your friends grow theirs. How fabulous is THAT?!!
EP 75: Gobble Up This Bite Of My Coaching Call To Learn The True Realtor's Sales Funnel
00:13:39
Today's coaching call I had with 2 of my student's was one that is so juicy, I had to slice off part of it to share with you.
We were discussing a Turkey Giveaway for Thanksgiving, and how to implement this strategy in a way that would build the agent's business.
The students thought I'd share with them a great social media post idea to generate traffic. Instead I challenged them to dive deeper into the strategy and how it fits into the overall Sales Funnel of their busines.
Sales funnel? What in the forking shirtballs is that? Can't we simply toss a post onto Facebook and use it as lead generation?
It was a valid question to be asked, but the hard answer is "NO". Not if you want to recession proof your business and build one that is sustainable. Learning the sales funnel and how to create content to move potential clients through it is as fundamental as knowing how to write up a contract. Only it's almost never taught. That's why it's going to be my keynote at the annual Focus Conference next February for The Real Boss Women.
For now though, check out this bite of information. I promise you it's juicy....and super relevant to you too.
EP 76: 6 Ways To Avoid The Spam Folder and Recession Proof Your Business
00:17:39
Recession proofing your business is a critical mindset to get into, especially when the economy is slowing down. I've said for years that a healthy and engaged list (or you may call it a database!) is the #1 thing you can do for yourself in order to create a sustainable business.
From the time I was running sorority recruitment and teaching the members how to keep and maintain a list of potential new members to call when they had available openings, to running a $56 million dollar Real Estate Team it all came down to our list of past and potential clients.
Show me your list, and I'll predict your revenue potential. It's that simple.
So simple it's hard in fact. I'll wager that 60% or more of my listening audience has a database, and never uses it for more than an address book. Your customer relationship management (CRM) software sits so lonely at times that it grows mold.
Now is the time to jump back in, re-engage your list and modernize your email campaigns. Doing so can-and will!-increase the know, like, and trust factor you have with your subscribers.
Before you jump in and hit send on that next newsletter (omg please don't send out a plain old newsletter. That's so OLD my friends) you need to lean in and take a hard look at how to avoid the dreaded spam folder.
In today's episode, I dive into 6 of the easiest ways you can take action on RIGHT NOW to not get yourself blacklisted in email land. This isn't an exhaustive list, but it'll get you off to the races quickly and efficiently.
1. Delete your unsubscribers (holy cow yes I know this is scary. The last student I told this to almost hyperventilated on me. But I promise I don't give you any action items to do that I don't do myself!) 2. Re-Engage subscribers who haven't opened or clicked an email from you in 6 months or more. (ahem. Assuming you've been sending out emails that is...) 3. Avoid common trigger words 4. Check your spelling and grammar for goodness sake 5. Create more clickable emails (my favorite!) 6. Give subscribers the easy button way out
And then join me at www.realbosswomen.com/listbuilding for an immersive online course on how to build your list bigger and bigger to create sustainability. You get LIFETIME access to the course (including all updates!) and entrance into the Facebook group where I jump in on the regular to take a look at your work, answer questions, and crowd source with you to get your creative juices flowing.

Listen in ladies because Allie takes us through the moment in Target where her family was so financially strapped she had to choose between purchasing toothpaste or tampons, to her mindset on starting her business out of desperation.
Growing an empire with 4 babies, and how she personally struggled with the hustle mentality and what it did to her health.
Allie's story will empower you to get up off the floor (or heck, settle in with a mug of coffee and your fuzzy slippers) and shed the pieces of your business you don't like, lean into the parts that resonate with you and grow it to places you never dreamed of. Now, take a moment and share this episode with your bestie. She'll thank you for it and so will I! Then drop into my DMs on Instagram @itsjoannebolt and tell me what advice Allie gave that made you jump up and down. I'm excited to hear it because there are MULTIPLE parts here that I keep going back to myself!

Starting a business can be scary both mentally, and on your wallet. Most entrepreneurs have NO CLUE what it really costs to start up, and struggle to make and maintain a budget in the first 1-3 years.
I recommend getting a small business loan for $10,000 to give you wiggle room to experiment and not stress out, but if that gives you the hives (and that's ok!) then I'm breaking down the 7 biggest things you should spend money on.....and it comes in at right around $3,000.
Not bad my friend! Here they are, and I'll give more in depth to them in the shownotes on the webpage so head there for more juicy goodness.
1. Forming an LLC, licensing fees and contracts 2. Kajabi for Email and Marketing 3. Canva for all kinds of graphic and branding fun 4. GoDaddy for domain names 5. Gorgeous Stock Photos and Videos-Social Square 6. Project Management Platforms like Asana or Monday.com 7. Must Use Technology like Tailwind

EP 89: The 5 Areas You'll See Major Improvement In By Tuning in to The B-Word Podcast
00:16:47
We're about to hit our 100th episode (so exciting!), have over a million downloads (that's the 2 comma club friends) and it's only the beginning of year 2. So if you've been around for a hot second, or just tuning in THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart.
I laughingly call this little 'ole podcast the girlfriend's guide to business and so I wanted to peel back the curtain for ya and show you just where we're going in 2023, and how tuning in will continue to make an impact in your life and biz.
In reality, I've narrowed down the ways your business will find massive growth and improvement to 5 major areas:
Branding/Marketing
Strategies
Simplified Systems and Processes
Lifestyle
Real Estate Advice
Tune in even if you think #5 doesn't apply to you. Because here's the simple truth of the matter. 70% of all Realtors have other jobs, other careers, and are doing this as a side hustle. So you never know when your current role will take a shift and you'll pick up and lockbox and think "Yep. This may be for me too"
EP 91: Less Contenting, More Commenting To Grow Your Instagram
00:12:27

The good news is that you can still grow your Instagram even without the almighty reels. Now that Insta is placing a focus again on posting content the playing field has been leveled and engagement points can be on the rise.
Listen in and I'll share my secret weapon to turning comments into relationships on Instagram.

One of the biggest surprises I've experienced this year was the gift of a mastermind. The surprise is that I've never leaned into them (the price tags repelled me) and never felt they were worth it.
Back in January I circled around to a podcast I used to listen to, The Powerhouse Women Podcast with host Lindsey Schwartz and heard her talk about the game changing effect of a good mastermind. So I clicked the button and registered.
Did I have a clue what I was getting myself into? Heck no. Did I know in my gut I needed to be there? You betcha.
So why was it a meltdown? Because my brain was so full of information, and my heart so full of joy when all was said and done that I literally melted into a puddle in my bedroom closet. I guess when you leave an experience rung dry you have to have some release of emotion. Too bad mine actually started in the middle of a neighborhood casino night and ended in the puddle in the closet. But that's real life!
Tune in to hear just what all I learned about experiences, myself, and others and to hear why I was such an emotional dish rag at the end of the past two weeks.
