Step into a world of possibilities in this week's episode of Life After Corporate, hosted by Deb Boulanger. Joining Deb is author, podcaster, founder and CEO of Powerful Professionals, Kim Walsh Phillips, as she shares her personal journey of leaving behind the corporate grind and embracing a life of entrepreneurial success. In this insightful conversation, Kim sheds light on the challenges she encountered as a woman in corporate America, the emotional hurdles of starting her own business, and the strategic moves that propelled her to astonishing heights. Kim reminds us that when it comes to overcoming the fear of rejection and finding success in life after corporate, you must remember this: you have the power to choose your audience and focus on those who truly align with your message. Don't waste your time and energy worrying about the naysayers and doubters, because they were never your potential clients to begin with. Embrace the nervousness and transform it into empowerment, knowing that every rejection brings you one step closer to connecting with the right audience. Don't reject yourself, keep moving forward boldly, and watch as your message resonates with those who are ready and waiting to hear it.

• Hiring based on DISC personality profiles rather than skill sets or past experience

Do you know when you are the most energetic? Do you know what your innate rhythm is? It's crucial to understand your internal energy flow that influences originality, judgment, and productivity.  Deb Boulanger talks with Megan Camille, a psychic and intuitive business consultant. Together, they discuss the importance of intuition in business and entrepreneurship. Megan shares her own experience of building two seven-figure and multiple six-figure businesses relying solely on her intuition and inner guidance.  Yes, taking risks and being entrepreneurial are difficult paths to success, but they are unquestionably some of the most gratifying. Despite beginning without a college degree, Megan Camille's career demonstrates that following your instincts and taking chances may result in significant success in entrepreneurship. If you ever feel the urge to launch your own company, go for it. Take chances, pay attention to your intuition, and don't be hesitant to invest in your dreams.

• Following social media feeds and constantly comparing oneself to others can hinder listening to internal guidance 

• Discovering one's natural rhythm can lead to greater potency and less obligation or sacrifice in work 

[16:29 - 24:25]  Trusting Intuition for Business Success   

• Trusting intuition is crucial in business

• Exercising the muscle of trust can strengthen intuition 

• Trusting intuition can lead to opportunities and success in business

• Leaping from five figures to seven figures in revenue requires trusting intuition and leveraging automation

[24:26 - 34:02] The Importance of Investing in Your Business   

• Investing in your business is key to success  

• Embrace your rebel and do things differently 

• Logic is important, but intuition should guide business decisions

• One size does not fit all in marketing and business strategies

"Knowing the different aspects or parts of yourself, like the inner child, the inner critic, the golden child, the shadow, all of these aspects have their own interpretation of what's going on. And so we want to be making our decisions from intuition, which is our true self, even if that alerts the inner critic." Megan Camille, on the Importance of Nervous System Regulation

In this reboot edition of Life After Corporate, Deb talks with Pat Pearson. They explore the topic of self-sabotage and its impact on women in particular during the current economic climate. They outline practical steps for creating a career and revenue stream that YOU can control. Pat explains how self-sabotage is an internal barrier that we, ourselves put in place, (often unconsciously), due to our own belief systems, self-esteem and permission from our past. With Pat's guidance, the discussion explores the four psychological components that create our belief in what we deserve, and how to increase that level in order to take control of our careers, relationships, health and overall success. By gaining insight into these factors, listeners learn how to take control and create a mindset of deserving success. This is like your personal blueprint, so grab a pencil and paper. You'll want to write these steps down.

• Positive beliefs and self-care are crucial in building healthy self-esteem and overcoming self-sabotage.

• A positive belief system, high self-esteem, and self-confidence are essential components for upgrading one's "Deserve Level".

Today, Deb talks about ChatGPT. What it is, why it's good, why it's bad. Whether we like it or not, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here and it's just getting bigger by the day. (Welcome to the 21st Century). However, there's a right way to use this tool and Deb takes you through each step she took while experimenting with it.  You'll hear about some really great content it generated, and you'll also hear about some content that could get you in trouble if you don't do your due diligence. (aka, you might want to set up your lawyer on speed dial). 

[00:01- 8:24] The Benefits of ChatGPT and all other AI Platforms  

• The "human-like"  language capabilities are impressive. You can prompt different tones (friendly, business, etc.)

• It's quick and efficient to generate content. 

• It can create a steady stream of new ideas

• It can save valuable time and resources that would otherwise go into research and writing content

• AI really shines when it comes to statistics and data

[8:25 -15:25]  The Drawbacks of ChatGPT and other AI Platforms  

• The content can be bland and generic                      

• The content that's created may not be unique and original

• There is a risk of copyright infringement if the content goes unverified 

• Prepare yourself to get creeped out a little    

[15:24 -22:38] Tips for using ChatGPT (and other AI platforms) More Wisely 

• Be mindful of any biases and inaccuracies. Make sure to verify the content that's being generated.

• Don't rely solely on ChatGPT. Doing research on other platforms will give you a broader understanding of the topic and help you make more informed decisions. 

• ChatGPT is more likely to provide accurate and relevant responses if your prompt is clear and concise

• Use ChatGPT to spark your curiosity. Think outside the box and learn about new topics that might interest you.

[22:39 - 27:40] If used Correctly, ChatGPT and AI can create "good enough" copy….  

• Help users can help generate a consistent revenue in their coaching and consulting business  

• It can help users leverage their time and expertise to create scalable programs and services 

• It can help users master the Three pillars of profitability to price their services accordingly and create a sustainable revenue stream

• Content creators can get endless ideas for social media, newsletters, videos, etc.

Cheli Grace's story is one of true determination. Despite facing the challenge of juggling her career, children, family, writing and publishing a book; not only did she persevere, her book became a 6X International Best-Selling Series. And this is how she got featured on National News, multiple magazine articles, radio shows and podcasts. As she shared her knowledge and wisdom with others, it created a massive impact through her business which enabled her to become a successful 7-figure earner.  Has anyone ever said to you, "You should write a book"...?  Well today, Deb talks to Cheli about strategies in getting that book that's inside you written and published so your vision can become a reality. 

[00:01 10:13] Opening Segment /Creating a Successful and Sustainable Book

• Take a pulse of what's happening: Know your niche and what readers need to know.
• Create your platform: Be visible on social media and do speaking engagements. 
• Focus on "The One Thing": Make yourself stand out as an expert.
• Follow a formula: Have a launchpad and strategy for success.
• Aim for sustainability: think about how the book can be part of your business strategy

[10:14 -19:54]  5 Strategies for Leveraging Your Book as Your Platform 

• Create an Ebook and give it away for free for potential clients and prospects.   
• Send personalized signed copies of your book to school superintendents and other industry leaders. 
• Create a companion workbook or course to your book to engage readers.  
• Look at the content you already have, create a plan and put it into a format that's easy to understand. 
• Niche down and focus on delivering value to a specific audience.

[19:55 -27:32] Creating a Book from Existing Content

• Be clear on why you want to write the book; do you want speaking engagements, scale your business, etc.
• Repurpose existing content like social media posts, blogs, and podcasts for the book.
• Write the book with a single core message.
• Consider professional self-publishing so you can retain ownership of your rights and royalties.
• Think of the book as your overall brand.

[27:33 -33:11] The 5 Steps to Get Started on Writing a Successful Book

• Find a Powerful Sounding Board: Having someone who can provide feedback and guidance on your book idea is key. A sounding board can help you refine your book title, topic and overall message to ensure that it resonates with your audience.  

• Be Pithy: Capture your audience's attention in a nanosecond with a concise, yet powerful title and message. Keep your message short and sweet, yet full of information that will engage readers.
• Repurpose Dissertations: If you have a doctoral dissertation that is sitting on your shelf, consider repurposing it for the mass market. Make the content fun, riveting and engaging so that readers understand it quickly.
• Join a Community: Writing can be transformational, and it's important to get support and accountability from a writing community. Knowing that your book can change someone's life can be a great motivator to get started.
• Reach Out for Help: If you're feeling overwhelmed, don't hesitate to reach out for help. Consider talking to an experienced author or coach who can provide guidance and support throughout the writing process.

Author and personal development coach, Rachael Jayne Groover, is passionate about women discovering their own feminine power. Her book, "Powerful and Feminine" She writes that The feminine essence is the "E" spot. ("E" is for energetic, ecstatic, empowering and effortless). Listen in on the conversation between Deb and Rachael Jayne as they talk about how the "art of feminine presence" is vital to your business and your life. 

[00:01 -11:57] Opening Segment

• Rachael Jayne talks to us about how transitioning from a customer service role to contributing to a personal development guru's organization, led her to the realization that starting her own business was the path to take.
• The challenges she faced of starting a business, included everything from visa issues to ultimately achieve success in the personal development field in the US. 
• She focused on finding joy in serving others which led her to getting in tune with that emotional connection and helping people realize their potential was her passion.
• She developed her skills through joining the Toastmasters to overcome her fear of speaking and found that she had a natural talent for it.

[11:58 - 29:13]  The Influence that Confidence Has on Our Success as Entrepreneurs  

• Personal development practices, such as mindset and communication, can help shift focus to something that feels better.
• Stabilizing the mind, heart, gut, and body in this infinite dimension leads to an unshakeable confidence, rather than trying to constantly change the mindset.
• Understanding the physical and energetic component of receptivity through the Art of Feminine Presence work
• The benefits of being receptive, such as a quiet mind, inner peace, and a relaxed state of being.

[29:14 - 33:52]  Stop Comparing Yourself to Others  

• Understand your personality structure and how it may influence your tendency to compare yourself to others. (i.e, if you're a type four on the Enneagram, envy and comparison may be a part of your emotional habits). Recognizing this can help you to step back and observe the behavior rather than identifying with it as an intrinsic part of yourself.
• When you notice yourself comparing yourself to others and feeling negative emotions, focus on relaxing your body and creating an open, relaxed state. 
• Cultivate an attitude of openness and receptivity to the present moment and to yourself. When you're in this state, you're less likely to be caught up in comparisons and negative thoughts.
• Spirituality, or receptivity, can also help shift your perspective away from comparison. This could be something as simple as becoming more present or mindful. By focusing on receptivity, you can move into a different dimension where comparison is not possible.

[33:53 - 37:23] Rachael Jayne Shares a Client's Success Story

• Jennifer was able to escape corporate and start her own business with the help of Awakened School  

• She learned to write her book and become a great speaker. She also went through the spiritual and personal realm with a meditation retreat and the Art of Feminine presence.

Fortune 500 firms have paid Susan Trumpler for ten years to find the sales techniques and strategies that generate the highest revenue for their businesses. And although it seemed like she was giving away the keys to the kingdom when she revealed the findings of her investigation, she didn't want to restrict these strategies to just the largest businesses. She made the decision to incorporate all she had learnt over the years into something that would benefit female entrepreneurs. And this was the birth of "Unstoppable Women in Business'. Deb dives deep into Susan's concept in networking to getting that "YES" faster.

[00:01 08:20] Opening Segment

• Susan tells us about her journey into coaching women in business
• Trump's 5-step process includes understanding the customer's needs, creating a value proposition, crafting a compelling message, delivering the message with confidence, and following up
• Sales isn't about being pushy or manipulative, it's about helping people and nurturing relationships
• Seek out a mentor or coach to help guide you on your sales journey.
• Build a strong support network of fellow female entrepreneurs

[08:21 -18:31]  Sales Culture can be Exclusionary to Women  

• Women are often left out of the "bro culture" in sales, leading to a feeling of exclusion   
• It's important for women to recognize their value and not undersell themselves in sales conversations
• Use open-ended questions to learn about the other person's interests and needs
• Approach networking events with the mindset of helping others, rather than focusing on your own fears or insecurities.  
• Practice active listening and ask questions to learn about the other person's interests, needs, and goals

[18:32 -28:25]  Challenges that Woman in Sales need to Overcome  

• To develop a sales mindset that allows you to embrace your strengths and not be afraid to put yourself out there
• Women to build a strong network of peers and colleagues who can provide support and encouragement as they navigate the sales world
• Self-doubt or lack of confidence in their ability to succeed in the sales process is something woman need to concur 
• Limited understanding of the customer's needs or pain points
• Procrastination or hesitation in making the sales pitch or closing the deal

[28:26 -31:43]  Establish Yourself as a Unique Entity that Someone Wants to Develop a Relationship With

• Focus on the conversation around what the potential client wants to do differently and why they want to do it, rather than dwelling on the details of your business or services
• Sharing information about your unique processes can also help to differentiate you from the competition

Deb Boulanger is  starting this year off with a bang.  She's throwing out the old tired conventional marketing tactics that have become antiquated and are no longer working and she's bringing in a bold new concept called Slow Marketing. If you haven't heard of it yet, you'll want to get a paper and pen as Deb guides you through the "what, how and why" of it all. I'm not going to lie… at first, it sounds a little scary, but when Deb explains it further, it all makes perfect sense. So get ready to shake things up for your Life After Corporate in 2023! 

[00:01 8:14]  What is Slow Marketing?

• Slow marketing is a movement that focuses on building relationships with customers, rather than relying on automation and technology 
• It is similar to the Slow Food Movement, which advocates for consuming whole and healthy foods.
• Slow marketing values authenticity and personal connections, rather than buying into marketing hype.
• It is a way to grow a coaching or consulting business by focusing on timeless strategies and tactics.
• Building a successful practice requires a lot of effort and may not be the easy road, but it can be rewarding to make a living while making an impact on others. 

[8:15 -14:41]  The Challenges of Entrepreneurship  

• Starting a business can be hard work and it requires a lot of effort to make it successful.
• It can be easier to stay in a corporate job, with a steady paycheck and support from a sales force, marketing department, and finance department
• However, many people choose to become coaches or consultants because they want to share their expertise and make a positive impact on others
• It is important to have a solid foundation of business advice and strategies
• Consider starting from the beginning of the Life After Corporate podcast to get foundational business advice   

[9:17 -20:54]  Tips for Incorporating slow marketing into your business  

• Take time to get to know your clients and understand their needs
• Prioritize face-to-face interactions and genuine communication
• Focus on creating valuable, high-quality content for your audience
• Don't be afraid to let your personality shine through in your marketing efforts
• Consider using referral marketing to expand your reach in a natural, organic way
• Don't try to do it all at once – focus on building strong relationships with a few key clients before expanding your efforts.  

[20:55 - 28:15] The Importance of Listening and Asking Questions

• Instead of pitching your services, ask your followers and potential clients about their needs and goals.
• Pay attention to what people are saying and use that information to tailor your interactions and offer relevant assistance or resources
• Building relationships requires active listening and a willingness to engage in authentic conversations.

In this mini episode, I want to acknowledge you for being brave and making the hard decision to leave your corporate job and take the risk of launching your business.

Entrepreneurship is not the easy road. It's much easier to sit back and "quiet quit" than it is to step out and make the leap to starting a coaching or consulting business.

In this episode I share:

- How long it took me to replace my corporate salary

- Why coaching is critical to success

- How to crowd source incredible content that converts new buyers

- How you can get my direct advice on your best direction for business growth

- Why I have chosen you to invite to a special event November 7-11

- The elements of predictable growth

There are 3 primary reasons why women tend to undervalue themselves:(1) They were raised to be nice and please others, (2) they're afraid of success, and (3) they're taught to believe that their value is dependent on their appearance. It's vital that women learn to value themselves so that they can create healthy relationships and achieve their goals. Today, Deb revisits an episode she did with Barbara Huson back in December 2020. And as relevant as it was back then, it's even more so today. Barbara's no nonsense approach highlights her passion to educate women on financial literacy as well as helping them recognize their own worth. *(Pro Tip)* You may find yourself hitting the rewind a few times throughout this episode just so you can put some of Barbara's idioms to memory.

For some, it can be as fundamental as taking care of their family and for others it may mean following their dreams and pursuing their passions. But fulfilling your purpose is not just about achieving a goal; it's about living a life that is meaningful and satisfying. It's about finding a way to contribute to the world around you and making a difference in the lives of others.

Merriam-Webster defines "CATCH-22" as: "a situation presenting two equally undesirable alternatives".  You can't invest in your business because you don't have enough clients and you can't get more clients because you can't afford to invest in the support to help you. This is a vicious cycle that many new business leaders find themselves in. When you're in this position, it's easy to misunderstand what growth actually looks like.  So if you're feeling stuck, you're not alone. In this episode Deb goes deep into the "WHY".  You'll find yourself saying, "Yes, that's me" more than once. Deb has some solid advice on how to go forward.
