076. Are You Living Your Full Potential?

The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast

06/29/22 • 33 min

“Age is an attitude of the heart” (Brenda Hattingh, Founder True North Passion)
In this week’s episode we draw from the fountain of wisdom in the form of 66yo Brenda Hattingh.
Brenda is truly passionate about seeing women reach their full potential but so often has found that women self-sabotage themselves because of their state of mind.
She says that limiting beliefs that have been passed on can unconsciously stop you from reaching your full potential but it all starts with WHO AM I?
She truly believes that women have this dormant strength of untapped power waiting to be unleashed on the world.
Brenda goes on to say that EVERY woman has a story to tell and that the online world provides a level playing field where everyone has a voice and where impossible dreams are now becoming a reality for many women.

059. The ONE NUMBER in your business that will change your life...

The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast

03/17/21 • 30 min

Over the last year I’ve had some extremely talented women reach out to me for help to take their businesses online.
Now most of them came to me with amazing “Zones of Geniuses” that they are eager to share with the world, but they are not sure how to do it.
Some of them have a traditional brick and mortar business and realised they have to go online, but they are really stuck on how to move forward...
Some of them have even tried to do this on their own but were just going round and round in circles, doing a bit of everything and not really getting anywhere.
Do you want to know why they were struggling?
It was because they didn’t have a clear goal or road map on what they wanted and where they were heading.
You know they always say...if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do...and seriously if you don’t have a plan and a road map on exactly what it is you want and even more importantly how you are going to get there...you are going to struggle.
So, after working with them, providing structure and getting clear on exactly what it was that they wanted out of their business and out of their lives, they started achieving the same big outcome we all strive for...
...and that outcome is what I believe is the #1 reason behind why we all end up starting a business in the first place...
And what might that be, you may ask?
Well it’s called FREEDOM!
Creating freedom is why you decided to get into business, right?
To be able to live your life on your own terms...
To be able to do what you love each and every day...
To take back control of your FINANCES
To live your passion every day...
To serve and help others...
To be able to live wherever you want...
To spend quality time with the people that really matter in your life....
Because at the end of the day we only have this one life...we only have one go at it...so we might as well go for it and live full out!
Now, I want you to know that your freedom...that life you are dreaming about all comes down to ONE NUMBER in your business...
A number that you should be putting all your energy and focus on until you reach it!
In this week’s episode of The LadyBoss Lounge podcast, I am sharing with you what this number is, AND I am going to show you how to reach it.
So, get comfy, because you might get a bit uncomfortable during this episode – ha ha.

PS. In this episode I talk about creating your first digital product...if you are ready to jump in and create your first digital product – an eBook - and want to peek over our shoulder on how to do it from beginning to end then head over to learn more

058. [COACHING CALL] How to monetise your idea and turn it into an online business

The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast

03/10/21 • 35 min

Listen in on how I help Bev and Israel with some basic strategies on how they can turn their ideas into cash, online!
I love teaching women the TOOLS that will allow them to take back FINANCIAL CONTROL of their lives. Monetising your hobby, passion or expertise in the online world can be a simple process and is one of the reasons why women come and join me in our community.

The last 12 months have woken many women up to realise they have to take matters into their own hands if they are going to survive in this “new world” everyone is talking about.

And what better way to do that than to take your hobby, passion or expertise and start monetising it, right?
Absolutely! BUT, here’s the problem...
They don’t know HOW to monetise online...and the questions that keep coming up are...

“Can I even make money out of the thing I love doing?”

“Will anyone buy from me?”

“How will I sell it?”

I totally get it...this “online thing” is a new world for so many people and it is so confusing and overwhelming. There’s webinars and zooms, funnels and marketing, email lists and niches...jargon you probably have never even heard of before...
But here’s the good news...

It doesn’t have to be complicated...you can start small and get fancy later!

In today’s episode of The LadyBoss Lounge podcast, I did just that when coaching these two ladies, Bev and Israel, on how they can monetise their idea with a few simple strategies.
These ladies are a part of my FREE Facebook Group,

The LadyBoss Lounge Facebook Group, where I do weekly LIVE “Ask me Anything” calls.

049. What I’ve learned from starting a new business in a new country in 2020…

The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast

01/06/21 • 22 min

So even though 2020 came with a lot of challenges, it also came with a lot of opportunities. Opportunities are everywhere around us, we just need to keep our eyes and ears open to what’s going on around us...
"But how do we find these opportunities", you might ask?
Well, you need to find out what people are having a problem with and then purely offer a solution to that problem...and that’s exactly what I did in 2020.

After arriving here in South Africa in late March, lockdown happened a week later, and we all know the devastating effect that has had on the economy of the country. People couldn’t go to work, some people’s salaries were cut, people with small businesses couldn’t open and subsequently couldn’t earn money and so on and so on...
I was watching how restaurants, airbnb’s, beauty salons, real estate agents and so many more people from different industries were struggling financially because of this lockdown...while all along my own online business was not only surviving but actually growing.

And that’s when I got this idea...I realised I had the knowledge that could help so many people that’s going through this difficult time to take their businesses and go online...and before I knew it, I was putting together a course that teaches women in South Africa to take their businesses online - whether they had an existing business or just an idea of something, or even a hobby they love doing they would like to turn into an online business...

And that’s how my “Kickstart Your Online Business” program was born.
I learnt so much about launching a new “product” in a country where almost no one knows me, but I am excited for all the possibilities it is going to offer not only myself but the hundreds of women I am planning on helping in 2021.

So in this episode I share with you some of the lessons I’ve learnt starting a new business in 2020...

025. How network marketing has given her the financial support and flexibility to look after her son in hospital with Lindsay Taylor

The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast

06/17/20 • 37 min

As a mother, there is nothing worse than when one of your children are not well, let alone when you have a gut feeling that something is really wrong...
My guest today is the beautiful Lindsay Taylor, an incredible mum and business owner who has had her fair share of challenges to date.

Lindsay has been in and out of hospital with her very brave son, Charlie, being by his side as they were trying to figure out what was wrong with him.

A situation like this can be very hard on any family...not only does this put a lot of emotional stress on a family, but it can become a huge financial burden too.

The daily bills don’t go away when you can’t work and add the additional medical expenses to it all and it can have a devastating effect.

In today’s episode Lindsay shares how grateful she is for her network marketing business and how it has helped her through some really difficult times.

So, grab your cuppa or pour a glass of wine and join me on the couch as Lindsay remembers her first event and how that event changed it all for her and how much she loves the flexibility her business now gives her!

017. Mindset, Self belief and accepting ourselves as we are with Georgie Thomas

The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast

04/22/20 • 42 min

In today’s world, social media plays a big part when it comes to comparing ourselves to other people - whether it’s our lifestyle, our body or our business success...

We, as women, are so quick to judge ourselves and put unrealistic expectations on ourselves, especially when it comes to body image and the way we look.
In this week’s episode I have a chat with the incredible Georgie Thomas.

Georgie is the founder of Body Image Rewritten, she’s also a qualified Exercise Physiologist and Neuro Linguistic Practitioner.

Georgie has gone through her own struggles when it comes to body image and it was through this time, and coming out the other side, that she was inspired to help others fall in love with who they are again.

Her mission is to change body image for generations to come by helping others have a better relationship with their body, food and exercise. Her motto is “If we are going to change body image for generations to come, we have to rewrite our story first”.

We talk about...

How do you change the conversation in your mind to overcome these fears and just go for it?
How do you maintain a balanced and healthy relationship with social media to use it for its positives? And how do you not compare yourself and your lifestyle to others online?
What does self-love or self-care actually look like?
When using social media for our business, how do you continue being vulnerable and being honest even when it could come with a lot of fear?

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!

015. How to handle sales objections with Krystal Wilson

The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast

04/08/20 • 37 min

Are you one of those people that really struggle to handle objections?

You’ve been building some good report with your potential customer...you truly believe your product or service can be of benefit to them...but then they hit you with the...

“How much is it?” and you blurt out the price and their answer is...”It’s too expensive!” or “I don’t have the money”

Right? I know we’ve all been there.

Well in today’s episode we are talking to the incredible, Krystal Wilson.

Krystal started her career in sales at the age of 18 through fashion retail sales and then went on to become an expert closer and sales manager when she started working in timeshare, and did over $3 million in sales over 5 years.

In 2018 she studied NLP, Time Line Therapy and Hypnotherapy and became a Women’s Mindset & Empowerment Coach and launched her business, She Who Dares, helping women breakthrough their limiting beliefs and step into their power to create success in all areas of their lives.

As far as I’m concerned Krystal is a true LADYBOSS when it comes to sales and handling objections.

She shares with us the process of the sales cycle and how to overcome any objection that might come your way.

You definitely want to grab a notebook and pen, because she dropped some great nuggets in this episode...

"You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward"

084. 3 Ways to Turn Your Business Around

The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast

08/24/22 • 10 min

Is your business “stuck” right now...
Sales are down, revenues are down and you don’t know how or what to do next to turn things around.
The bad news? Every business goes through these periods where no matter what you do, nothing seems to work. If you keep doing what you are doing and it’s NOT working, you can’t expect to get different results can you?
However, there is some good news. Irrespective of your business model, there are 3 ways you can look to start turning things around...but only if you are open to change....and these are...
#1 Increase the number of customers coming to you

#2 Increase the amount these customers spend with you

#3 Increase the frequency that these customers repurchase from you

In our upcoming LIVE WORKSHOPS in Cape town and on the Garden Route I am going to be covering exactly this - how you - in fact anyone with any business - can use online marketing strategies to find, attract and keep more customers by using lead generation “funnels.”

If you are looking for more customers and looking to grow your business fast, then please head over to www.marenbarnard.com/live to reserve your sea at tone of our LIVE workshop... Spaces are limited so don’t procrastinate...
