Business Blasphemy
Sarah Khan
Sarah Khan, Business Advisor and Leadership Consultant, is calling B.S. on the hustle-focused status quo of business and entrepreneurship, and getting real about what it takes to grow a business or career and NOT become a statistic. In each episode, Sarah helps navigate the rampant B.S. that permeates business strategy, marketing, operations, and mindset that has business owners hustling and pivoting themselves into burnout. She cuts through the noise and gives you guidance on how to view the status quo with a more discerning eye. If you're ready for success without the B.S., buckle up for hard truths, fun rants, terrible puns and (more than) the occasional curse word.

Ever wondered why the myth of the "unicorn" employee is not just unrealistic but downright exploitative? Join me as I unravel my journey from being a Virtual Assistant to a Director of Operations in the online business world, only to find my expertise undervalued and ignored.
This week's episode exposes the hidden costs of demanding multi-talented team members to do it all, often at the expense of real strategic insights.
Listen in as I share raw, unfiltered stories about being hired for my skills but repeatedly sidelined, a frustration that ultimately drove me to speak my truth.
On the flip side, we confront a pervasive issue that many women, especially women of color, face — the appropriation of ideas and contributions without due credit. Drawing from my own experiences across various industries, I address the importance of stepping into thought leadership and reclaiming our narratives.
Learn how to craft a strategic plan and build genuine confidence to amplify your unique voice.
As we wrap up, I extend an invitation to join the "Ignite Your Inner Dragon" program, a transformative journey designed to help women own their stories, gain visibility, and drive meaningful change. This episode promises to be an empowering and thought-provoking conversation you won't want to miss.

EP55: The Controversy of Commitment: Why "All In" is a Huge Red Flag
Business Blasphemy
02/20/24 • 37 min
How much do you really have to give (or give up) to be considered "all in" when it comes to your job or your business?
This week, I recount a deeply personal journey, pulling back the curtain on the emotional rollercoaster of what seems like an increasingly convoluted job application process. I share the excitement of connecting with what seemed like the perfect team, where my expertise was truly valued, to the sting of having a promising job offer taken away because of the question of commitment.
But this conversation goes beyond the nuts and bolts of job hunting. It's an exploration of the controversial demands for "all-in" dedication. I talk about how this expectation can be both a badge of honor and a source of shame, challenging the established norms of what employers expect. It's time to bring to argue for a healthier balance, one that values personal growth just as much as professional achievement, without leading to burnout.
Through my experiences, I offer insights and critical perspectives that question the business world's definition of commitment. It's all about the struggles of seeking employment while running a business, and the important lessons on setting boundaries in the pursuit of a career that's truly fulfilling.

EP48: Exploring the Evolving Landscape of Online Business in 2023/24 -- with Elaine Jardon, Jennifer Battle, Rachel Aiken and Erika Tebbens
Business Blasphemy
12/05/23 • 71 min
Online business has evolved enormously since 2020.
This week, I'm joined by 4 audacious and incredibly powerful and insightful business owners: Jennifer Battle, Rachel Aiken, Elaine Jardon, and Erika Tebbens.
Tune in as they share their journey and the evolution of online entrepreneurship over the last few years. We unmask the aftermath of the pandemic and its effect on business strategies and buyer habits. We explore currency in the digital marketplace and the key to making sales. We pay homage to our collective growth, the trials and triumphs of doing business differently and the innovations birthed from necessity.
We also talk about the changing definitions of business success. This isn’t just about revenue – it’s about personal growth, mentorships, and crafting a business model that is as structured as it is flexible, exploring the duality of working to live and living to work, and sometimes how the means to an end could be the end itself.
We touch on a variety of topics within the online space: marketing, email and copy, courses and IP, strategy, education and coaching, capacity, and the over-simplification of teaching.
With 2024 on the horizon, we leave no stone unturned, discussing our predictions for the business landscape and how it's changing (or needs to change), the need for a customer-centric approach and the balance between sharing your intimate journey while achieving larger-than-life results. Whether you're an experienced entrepreneur or a newcomer to the business world, this conversation is a necessity.

You hear it a lot -- feeling overwhelmed? Hire! Outsource!
Not in an of itself a bad idea -- but not always the best FIRST idea.
On this week's episode, Sarah talks about the 2 main causes of overwhelm and the 3 things you should be focusing on to help kick it to the curb (do people still say that?).

She also offers a reframe on how to set Good, Better, Best goals, how genuine connection can help curb overwhelm, and what consistency actually means when it comes to content creation.
It's a mixed bag today! But all goody bags are.
