I started my business when I was 20, and for the first decade, I was convinced that I could do it all by myself. After having my first kid, and a total burnout, I realized that I needed help. I think that many entrepreneurs struggle with asking for help because your business is your baby, but as your business grows you get to a point where you can’t do it all by yourself and you need to build a team.

In today's episode of IntegratED, Jamie speaks with Veronica Romney a Dream Team Architect. She has been in the online marketing world since 2008, most recently working behind-the-scenes as a speaker, trainer, Director, and Chief of Staff for brands such as Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Pete Vargas, and BossBabe.

Veronica is a full-time research marketing professional and will share some super helpful tips with us today. 

Human Design is a cool framework that you can use to really get to know yourself better and it can be a really amazing tool that you can use in your business.

My intention is to start sharing some of the strategies that I've been using with my clients, by pairing their human design with their business.

In this episode of IntegratED, I will share my own experience with Human Design and how I plan on helping other entrepreneurs build a successful business by knowing more about themselves and trusting their decisions.

Finding the right financial planning and coordination support in the entrepreneurial world is not easy and some entrepreneurs feel they don’t make enough money to get help with their business.

In today's episode of the IntegratED Podcast, Jamie talks to Nicky Morong, who is a certified financial planner. Nicky shares with us how she helps her clients understand how to use their resources to achieve their goals, by looking at their revenue, their tax situation, their debt and trying to structure a plan so that they can meet whatever their goals are on whatever schedule is most important for them.

So, you launched your podcast now what?

Lately, I have had a lot of clients come to me, asking me “Jamie, I have launched this podcast, this funnel, this website, etc. and now what do I do?”

First, honor the fact that a phase in your business is closing. You are going from a building phase into a nurturing and growth phase. Oftentimes, there is some mindset work that comes up, to closing that chapter and moving into that next phase.

In this podcast episode, we will look at the different phases that are involved in promoting your podcast successfully and reaching a wider audience.

How do you create a brand for your business? What should your brand say about you, what should it look like?

In this episode of IntegratED, we look at all the elements that you need to consider when you start branding your business, starting with your colors, fonts, images, etc.

Are you tired of feeling like you’re always doing things wrong?

Do you find yourself tired and burnt out?

You may be able to find the answer in your Human Design.

In today's IntegratED episode Jamie talks with Relationship Coach and Human Design Communication Specialist Brigitte Knight about how Human Design can help you in your business.

Brigitte works mainly with Generators and Projectors because those are the two types that are more prone to burnout, something that Brigitte is really familiar with and has experienced several times in her career.

What is the one thing holding you back from growth?

Are you constantly feeling drained and overwhelmed?

Is your calendar booked up so tight that you never have time to take care of yourself?

If you answered yes to these questions, then you need to listen to today's episode "Delegating Effectively". I am sharing my hiring process and how you can delegate effectively and maintain in control of your day-to-day operations while also expanding your reach.

Today is all about being intentional.

"Intentional living is the art of making our own choices before others choices make us." -author unknown.

Often entrepreneurs get swept away in to-do lists and get so busy delivering all the things in their business, that they don't actually do the work on their own business and themselves to actually move forward.

Tasks in their business come last and seem overwhelming to do. To-do lists are a mile long, and the overwhelm about figuring out what to do next is real.

So, in today’s podcast, I want to show you how I switched my mindset in treating myself and my business like my best client! It didn’t happen overnight, but it was this mindset shift that I made, that really forced me to look at how I was treating my business.

How can you integrate your story with your strategy and your mindset, in a way that is really meaningful, so that you can show up and have fun?

Strategy can become very complicated and overwhelming very quickly.

According to Sarah Mac, there is a way to keep it super simple, because everything you need is already inside of you. The clues are in your story and you decide which piece of your story to share according to your very clear intention around the result that you want to create for people.

Over the years, when it comes to expectation setting, I've learned some really valuable lessons the hard way.

In my first business, I had zero boundaries in place when it came to my clients and there was no expectation of business hours or response times. Messages were coming at me from all different platforms. It was a total nightmare and I totally burnt out.

I said goodbye to a lot of those clients and started up again from scratch, with expectations and boundaries!

In today's episode, I want to share a valuable lesson with you, so that you don’t ever experience a burnout.

Entrepreneurs often work on something and if they don’t see results as fast as they hoped, they believe that their product is not viable. The next “natural” step for them is to let that go or not focus on it and change what they're doing or move to something else. This is super common.

Soon after all the focus has shifted to another product, they start to see action happening with the product that they had abandoned.

In today’s episode, I want to take a closer look at why this happens.

Hey everyone after a bit of a hiatus (and a identity crisis) I'm back with a new name, new intro and a new vibe! In this episode I am going to take you behind the scenes of the new name of my podcast, Integrated. This is an education podcast for online entrepreneurs, service providers, and coaches who want to focus on one signature program to grow and scale their online business. I am going to talk business strategy, systems, marketing, mindset and of course systems. 

This podcast episode is different from my other episodes, but I think is really important to talk about our eating habits, because it is something that in my house, in the past, has really caused a lot of contention.

I can't even count how many fights have happened at 5 pm. A typical discussion would be something like:

“What do you want to eat?”

“I don't know. What do you want to eat?”

“I don't know. What do you want to eat??”

Before you know it, it is already 6 pm, we're fighting and end up getting takeout. Sound familiar?

So, with today's episode, I want to share how we have streamlined our eating habits and how that has saved us from many hangry discussions, saved us money, and saved us from wasting food!

I hope you enjoy this episode!

I want to demystify what's wrong with the traditional business coaching advice that the vast majority of online business coaches give out and what to do instead.

To be successful in the online world, you need to have the following in place:

• a strategy
• marketing
• technology/ systems

Once you have all these 3 things in place, you need to implement them. Everything must work together and come together to build what I call an online business ecosystem .

The problem with the vast majority of online business coaches is that they only truly understand the strategy. Many of them do not get involved in the marketing, the implementation, or the technology aspect.

Understanding how everything is connected is super important to bring a business to life.

Consistency is probably one of, if not the most important aspects to running a business. I'm not just talking about marketing here; I'm talking about how you show up online, your messaging, your self-care, and your sales. Consistency is really one of the most important aspects and habits that you can cultivate as an entrepreneur.

Consistency is also one of the most undervalued, underestimated, and first things that people give up on. Why? Well, unrealistic expectations are one.

So, when it comes to consistency in YOUR business

1. How consistent have you been? 
2. Are you being strategic with whatever it is that you're doing OR are you doing it to simply check off a box?
3. Is this something you've been consistent with 90% of time over the last six months or a year?

Listen to this new episode of the OMG Show and learn more about how to become consistent!

I've been reflecting a lot lately and I don't actually believe I've shared my big why behind why I left my agency. Today, I want to share that story and talk a little bit about what is wrong in the online coaching and course industry today and also share the importance of focusing and following one course until successful!

Last year, I wrote over 100 social media snapshots, which is nearly 300 to 400 pages of feedback on social media, marketing, and websites. By doing that, I have been able to access a lot of different trends and I've noticed a lot of common mistakes people make. Today, I want to share those insights with you.

Here are my marketing updates and predictions for 2021. I will give you a state of the union of what you can expect from me for the rest of the year and I share with you where I think things will go in digital marketing 2021.

It's Ninja Tips time again. Have you been taking care of your email list and growing it steadily? It is very important not to rely soley on your social media accounts, because they are not yours and can be closed without prior notification. My five email list building ninja tips will guide you on how to grow that email list.

How and when should you start setting your business goals and marketing plans for 2021? It is so important to set aside enough time to focus on your wants and needs for your business. The best way to do that is by writing them down and break them into smaller tasks.

In this new episode, I will share with you how I do my marketing planning and how I set my goals. You can also download by Powerpoint presentation which will help you with your planning

When is the perfect time to make changes in your business? Now, tomorrow in a few weeks? We have all come up with a gazillion excuses why now is not the right time. But is there a perfect time?

On this episode, I share the excuses I told myself early on in my business why I couldn't move the business forward and I share how I shifted my thinking so that I could actually grow my business. 

There is a massive shift with lots of influencers closing their Facebook groups. Why is it happening?

Are Facebook groups a thing of the past or is it the needed investment of energy, time, money, and people is simply becoming too much to manage?

Let's have a closer look at Facebook groups/ communities and how, if managed well, they can bring your tribe together and how it can be a conversion tool when leveraged properly.

The holiday season kickoff is just a few weeks away, and you might be thinking, “Well, it’s too late for me to make a Black Friday sale in my business….” Guess what, it’s not! 

You still have plenty of time to create an amazing Black Friday deal and sale in your business. I’m going to walk you through six steps that will lead to a successful Black Friday launch in your business.

1. Have a Black Friday offer!

What will you be selling? At this point in the game, you want to think about the products and the services that you have, which are tried and true in your business. You know that you can deliver them and deliver them well!

How are you going to deliver your Black Friday offer? Think about how you are going to do the deliverable. Is it an automated deliverable or will you have to physically do some work to deliver? That’s really important to keep in mind when you’re doing a Black Friday offer.

1. Your Black Friday Hook 

What will make them buy from you now? Why is this different than all the other times that you’ve potentially offered this product? The goal of doing a big Black Friday sale is to ultimately convert people who are already in your community into buyers. What’s the angle? Keep it a little different than you have in the past, and you will find that you might get a lot of bang for your buck when it comes to this Black Friday sale. Taking somebody who’s stalking you online and converting them into a buyer is easier to sell than somebody that has bought from you before.

1. Black Friday Sale Features and Benefits

Features and benefits are super important for a successful Black Friday sale. As I mentioned earlier (see number one), you want to make it really simple for people to understand what they’re buying. Map out what they are getting from you! Think of it as the specs when you are buying a computer: the type of processor, how much RAM, the mechanics, etc…

1. Black Friday Sale Bonus Items

I love adding in bonus items when it comes to Black Friday Sales. It gives people this incentive to move forward. Part of the reason why we include bonus items is because when we are pricing our offers for Black Friday, it is important to have the entire value of the offer be roughly 10x what the investment is. 

1. In what ecosystem are you going to sell your Black Friday Sales offer? 

I’m a huge fan of social media and a huge fan of your email list. You could potentially talk about it on your podcast or your YouTube channel. Understand what content you need to create for which platforms and when. You don’t want to be in a scattered last-minute frenzy trying to get all this stuff out.

1. Black Friday Sales Content

You have to create some sales emails and sales social copy that are going to sell this offer. I get that sales emails are not always the easiest thing to write. But the good news is if you start with a sales email, they are going to give you plenty of social media copy to repurpose.

The holiday season kickoff is just a few weeks away, and you might be thinking, “Well, it’s too late for me to make a Black Friday sale in my business….”  Guess what, it’s not! 

Very often I get asked what my favorite tech tools are that I'm using to run and support my business. So, I thought I would take the time and share them with you in today's episode. I believe in these companies that I am sharing with you today so much, that I have included affiliate links for each one of them below.

Many of my clients are on the precipice of growth and I am very excited to share my ninja tips to help make that room for growth.

Oftentimes, we get into this place of overwhelm, are scattered and getting in our own way. We can complicate things more than they must be, and it just becomes overwhelming.

Are you at the point where you know you are doing all the right things, but you are not sure how to unlock that next level of life?

I believe that when you can’t get to that next level in business, even though you have a goal, because you feel stuck and frustrated wondering “how am I going to get there?”, you need to just stop for a second and write down all the different roles you play in your life.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of chatting with 1000's of entrepreneurs and I've seen a lot about what it takes to be successful. I've noticed that there are some hidden actions that ultimately take away from people's success so on this podcast I will be sharing those actions and different approaches for combating them.

Today I am sharing the 5 essential elements for building an online business.

Ever see someone walking down the street that you have never met before and they immediately remind you of your ex? That's a thin - slice.

The concept of thin slicing was first introduced in Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink.

The formal definition is as follows: Thin-slicing is based on our past lived experiences positive or negative which we cannot control. When meeting someone they might awaken a memory of a past teacher, friend, colleague, or ex-boyfriend. There is no telling what your physical appearance might awaken in the mind of the person from whom you are seated across. Thin Slicing and Social Media

In general, a thin-slice is incongruent with whom the person is. Which is why it becomes critical to use language to re-frame the person's perception of you.

Now...what the heck does that have to do with social media and how can you use this knowledge to alter people's thin slice of you!

Tune in to find out!

Last week I had the opportunity to speak at the Indie Pod Con and I had a blast! I love teaching and speaking! I got to talk all about Facebook Ads! Facebook ads and paid ads simply aren’t going away so it is important to learn how to use them to your advantage to grow and market your business.

Today I am going to give you 9 tips about the dos and don’ts of facebook ads so you can use them more successfully in your business.

Sales and selling has come up a LOT recently, especially inside my BEB Group. After 17 years in business, I’ve realized one thing they don’t tell most entrepreneurs when they start their business is that they have to sell to survive. In fact, the majority of their role will be selling, especially, in the beginning. The reality is that most entrepreneurs will spend 80% of their time selling and 20% doing delivery. Not exactly what you expected when you started your business?

One action I often encourage my clients to do is to record their sales calls so that they can go back to them and listen to how they actually sold. Remember, people love to buy but hate being sold. When selling you have to build trust, show value and ask for the sale. Many times when I have had clients do this exercise they realize they didn’t do all three of these things. Next time you are on a sales call ask to record it and takes notes because it shows active listening. 

Here’s the thing the better you can get at selling and the easier you can create the buying process the more you will sell, be it in person or online. Like any other skill this requires practice, a system, and keeping it simple. Which one of these tips will you integrate into your business?

I am always fascinated by high performers and people who are at the top of their game like Michael Jordan and his new documentary The Last Dance.. I love to study what they do, their habits and how they achieve their goals.

Often times it looks from the outside that they are superhumans, but when you dig below the surface a bit more you realize they just are the hardest worker in the room and they are still working when no one is in the room. The out perform, out work, out think, out smart, out study their competition.

How do you find the confidence to own your voice and be willing to do that uncomfortable work, to shed the layers, and to start to question - "is this even my own voice or is this somebody else's voice?"

In today's episode, I am sharing an unexpected encounter I've had three years ago with a woman. Her advice “You'll find your voice too, you have it in you. It just takes some time to find it” has stuck with me ever since.

It is so easy to get lost in social media and what we “should be doing, what's working, and how we should show up in the world” and ultimately it can lead to a lot of disappointment in yourself.

Let's have a look at how you can find your voice and start using your voice!

One of the biggest issues I see in marketing today is a fragmented approach to where the traffic for your marketing is going. The lack of a singular focus and a clear client journey stalls success and stunts growth.

It leaves potential clients feeling frustrated because it becomes hard to buy from you or ever worse they have to figure it out. On today's podcast episode I am talking all about the pitfalls of a fragmented marketing approach and how to keep a singular focus to build your business and your marketing ecosystem with ease.

I was cutting the grass last week and I got tons of ideas for content to create in the middle of cutting the grass, I paused to check in with work and had a message from a friend that said something like, "how do you get it all done?" Wow did that get my brain thinking. In today's podcast episode, I am going to share the tried and true methods I have used to grow my business while working less and how I get it all done with two little kids at home. Yup...all of that in today's episode.

I’ve been chatting with several of my private clients over the last couple of weeks and they have been experiencing a flood of emotions with the pandemic, protests, and the election. We ended up having extensive conversations around what they can do to regain some momentum in their lives during these turbulent times.

If thought to myself if several clients are feeling this way (and so am I) its time to make a podcast about it. I am sharing some recommendations and ninja tips around feeling better in terms of uncertainty. Again, I am not a medical professional, these are just some things I have done and encouraged others to do during this time.

I just returned to podcasting after a two week planned summer break! I am super excited to be back with a renewed sense of creativity.

During my break I started reflecting on the past 6 months of my life and what I want for the next 6 months. I have seen way too many posts recently being like “can 2020 just be over already?” So that got me to thinking about all that this year has brought me thus far.

Let’s go back to go forward, in December of 2019 I wrote this manifesto, if you will about Freedom.

Freedom for myself, my family and the clients I serve

Time Freedom

Financial Freedom

Choice Freedom

Freedom to break free from the 9 to 5 and social norms

Freedom to create the life of my choosing

Freedom to work how and when I choose

Freedom to make as much money as I choose

Freedom of choice to live life on my own terms

Freedom to live the best version of myself

Freedom to truly be myself and be loved and accepted exactly as I am

If you want your ideal client to move forward you have to understand WHERE they are in the buying process. Are they aware that they have a problem? Do they know the problem they have (or believe that they have)? Are they aware of your product? Have they tried your competitors?

Understanding what they believe about the problem you can help them solve is critical. Oftentimes, we entrepreneurs know what problem we can help our ideal client solve but there is a disconnect because it isn't the problem they believe that they have. So we have to meet them where they are so that we can support them in moving forward in the client journey.

This is a big mistake I've seen over and over again in the online marketing world. There is a massive disconnect between the problem the client believes they have and the problem you as the service provider helps with. The outcome and goal the same but entrepreneurs fail to speak the same language as their client and lose sales as a result.

This can lead to frustration, overwhelm and discontent. I would contend it is our job as entrepreneurs to put on our marketing hat instead of education hat and meet the ideal client where they are.

“Jamie, how am I supposed to implement your marketing strategy? I can barely keep up as it is.” - Client

“Well, that is easy - take a social media and marketing break.” - Me

“I can do that.” - Client

Yes, I give you permission to stop posting on social media. Put up a post saying you are taking a break for the next two weeks to implement a new strategy” - Me

“Thank you so much! That is a great idea.” - client

Do you know how many times this same scenario has played out with my clients and in my program? So many that I have lost count and it makes me sad.

The fact of the matter is that you don’t need my permission or anyone else’s permission to do something in your business. It is your business and your choice.

Yet, over and over again, I see wildly capable entrepreneurs wait for a permission slip to move forward, to get unstuck.

We as a society are sort of obsessed with instant gratification. If we put something out there on social media, we want to get likes and comments right away. In our minds, the likes and comments are also an indication of “how successful” the content is.

I really struggle with that point of view. As someone who's been in the social media world for a really long time, I would think that that's the wrong lens to look through social media with. Many entrepreneurs think that they didn’t get a new comment or as many likes as the previous post, then it's not a successful post.

That shouldn’t be the measure of success for social media!

It's time to rapidly scale the one program you have been focusing on during phase 1 and phase 2. You have proven that you can sell this offering organically, you have built a community and now it's time to turn up the volume on your marketing to make your offering wildly profitable.

This is where many entrepreneurs abandon ship and hit the reset button because this phase forces them to get really uncomfortable especially with their role inside of the company.

The focus here is on the implementation of the Dream 100 and a solid paid traffic strategy to quickly monetize your offering.

Hiring the right people and getting the right systems in place to delegate work to them is critical (and essential) during this time.

Phase 2 of building your online business ecosystem is all about marketing. This phase is essential to success because this is the point where you grow your community and begin converting it’s members into clients. The focus during this phase is dual purposed:

Community Building

Minimalistic Launching

I would contend that there may be some overlap with this phase and phase 1 since when you go to launch you must have a community and email list to launch to. Otherwise you will hear crickets.

During this phase you shift from creation mode into creative mode. This is where you get to be creative around how you are marketing your program or course. This shift should be intentional. While you will certainly go back to Phase 1 and make adjustments around the foundation, sales page, nurture sequence etc. It is imperative that you move out of the creator mindset and into the creatively marketing your products mindset.

Often it is during this phase that imposter syndrome rears its ugly head and we feel a pull to go back to fixing and fiddling with the foundation that we laid out. It is essential here that you lean on the process and FOCUS.
