July 14, 2020 11:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MBDriven by the goal to pay off her huge amount of student loans, Ronisa decided that entrepreneurship was more logical rather than taking a second job.

What If The Products Don't Sell?
May 19, 2020 11:00 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBIn this episode, I’ll dive into the topic of the cost of lost opportunity and one of the most crippling questions that every startup online entrepreneur should avoid focusing on, “What if it doesn’t sell?” That is the worst mindset one can have when they’re starting an online business (or any business for that matter) and I’m living proof that adopting the opposite of that is what anyone needs to thrive in business. If I had ever focused on that negative thought when I was starting out, I wo...

Alex is the chief marketing officer and co-owner, ...

April 14, 2020 11:00 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MBIn this episode, I’m going to talk about the four different types of online stores that one can start and grow successfully. When I first got started in online business, I didn't even know that there were actual different types of online stores. I just started selling leftover crafting supplies from my house.

Why You Can't Make Decisions
March 31, 2020 11:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBIn this episode, I’m going to talk about why you can't make decisions related to your family or business even when it’s important that you do. When five o’clock in the evening hits, most mothers are super tired, and the age-old question from their kids about what’s for dinner makes them feel like they’ll cringe and you just want to make everything and everyone disappear. Personally, when my kids ask me that question, I almost feel like my brain folds in on itself like a piece of odd origami....

How She Got To $20K A Month
February 11, 2020 12:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MBThe power of the Internet is like your personal jet and yet, some of you are still walking. Get in the jet.

Maybe you're wondering what the cost of an online store is to see if it's even worth it for you. You probably want to know the hidden costs, the unexpected things that might throw you off. Is it easy to start an online store? Honestly, I try never to use the word “easy” in business-building and if I do, let me know. Building something that you are proud of takes time and effort, especially at first. It follow...

I Hope No One Finds This Out - Yearly Review 2019
December 31, 2019 12:00 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MBIt’s that time of the year. As I ring out the old and ring in the new, a particular exercise I engage in leaves me more focused for the upcoming year. I usually put three things down on a piece of paper that I'm proud of doing and three things that I hope no one finds out. I then try and figure out the lessons that I was supposed to learn from them. This is so hard for me to do. It's easy to point out other people's mistakes, but pointing out your own and then telling the world... That is ...

Should You Lower Your Prices?

That was one of the questions I got from my students. I think some of you are actually having the same question.

And so I just don't want to sell it because I'm not about to work for free,” and I...

Is Shipping Stopping You?
December 03, 2019 12:00 - 20 minutes - 19.4 MBWay too many people think that running an e-commerce business or an online store or any type of online business that ships out a physical product is virtually impossible. Maybe that's you. You're thinking that starting an online business means you have to be right there, touching the product, packing and shipping it. Well, you actually don't have to ship them out yourself at all. I've been shipping products out for over nine years, and for pretty much all that time, I haven't personally pac...

November 12, 2019 12:00 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MBIn this episode, I’ll be telling you about a gal I've been coaching for a while on how to grow her business, and she's done over six figures. The interesting thing is the way she's gotten there: by what the world would call "failing". In fact, she earned her first hundred thousand dollars by failing. Wouldn't you want to make six figures by failing? You can say "Heck yes" out loud if you want to, because who wouldn't want to earn triple a teacher's salary by failing? Can you imagine having...

And then, these thoughts start to creep in your head, like, "Oh, I have so much to do. I don't even know where to start" or "I'm not smart enough" or "I'm not sure I can even do that," or "I need to go get a Coke Zero" or insert your beverage of choice "before I can even get started".

How You Can Succeed Even If You Aren't A Natural Born Entrepreneur
November 05, 2019 08:00 - 17 minutes - 16.4 MBI feel this need, this inner prompting, to share with you a bigger story that I haven't really done online yet. It's a story that sounds too good to be true, and maybe that's why I struggle with it. I'm not fancy. I wasn't blessed with a brilliant mind or an eloquent way of speaking. I've been looked over, unheard, and sometimes, I just blend in. I'm not sure if I have any natural-born talents, as I feel pretty average. All the same, I think the only thing it takes is a dream, a desire, a...
