Ever wished you could find someone to help you whip your business into shape?
You know - someone who’d be honest and would call you on it when you were being completely off your rocker or kick you into motion if you were letting things slide?
Yeah, me too...which is precisely when I discovered and first worked with our featured business influencer.
Today’s episode features my #TBT interview with Erika Lyremark. Erika has so much to teach women business owners about the power of confidence and the impact it can have on your business.
Here’s what we talked about:
Her dynamic and varied work experiences prepared her for starting her own business and have continued to be a big part of her business growth.
Some juicy details about her very first launch -- including pricing, her fears and getting support
Why Erika thinks it’s more important to gain confidence than to make money.
What Erika learned about hiring before you’re ready - and how that’s not always a good idea
Erika also shares how she likes to be an elegant hustler...and what that means!
Keep in mind that Erika’s business has evolved even more now - and if you’re curious how, I highly recommend checking her out...and being part of the next round of her signature program….which is so much more than the Morning Whip.

Today I answer the question - who has been your biggest business influence and why?
There’s more than one answer to this question, so I decided to do a multi-part series featuring the people and also doing a bit of a throw back Thursday. These are interviews from the archives.
They are super relevant to anyone just starting out...because the common thread is...we all start somewhere.
The first person I’m featuring is Amy Porterfield. Amy and I met back in 2009 or 2010...I kind of can’t remember…we hit it off immediately on a personal level, but even though I’ve gotten to know her pretty well, I also watch how she grows her business. I’m so inspired by the way she is so direct and clear in everything she does. It’s easy to get kind of wishy washy when you’re starting your business...and Amy has always been that person who inspires me to be clear about what I do, who I do it for, and what drives me to keep doing it.
Maybe it’s her family values, maybe it’s the way she gives it all during her courses…or maybe it’s because she’s so supportive of me… or all of that. But Amy has influenced me by reminding me to be practical and realistic.
Here are the topics we cover:
The truth about getting to 1,000 subscribers
Big lessons you’ll learn from making launch mistakes
How to find the right team for your budget
The importance of keeping momentum after a launch
FB Marketing All-in-One for Dummies

This week - I’m doing things a little different and since I did a pretty meaty webinar a few weeks ago, I thought I’d edit it up for you and serve the best parts as a podcast.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
The one area where you’re wasting the most time and that could be the cause of all your launch problems
Why knowing how to set your launch goals, sets you up for bigger success
The key phases in your launch and the exact action steps you can take today to make each one feel easy peasy.
No matter when you’re planning to launch - next month or next year, you’ll be able to take action during and after you listen to this episode.
If you want to hear and watch the whole webinar replay, you can jump over here right now and still grab it...I decided to leave it up for you, even though Fearless Launching closes this Friday, October 10th. Click the link below to watch it.
