064. How do I turn my idea into an online business?
The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast
04/21/21 • 19 min
The question I am probably asked most often is, HOW do I turn my idea into an online business?
That’s the easier part of a larger puzzle.
From my experience, the real question should rather be, CAN I turn my idea into an online business?
Can versus How?
Subtle difference there, but it does have huge consequences in the lives of so many women.
You see, YOU have a problem!
For so long you have been living with the fact that someone, a very long time ago said to you, YOU CAN’T!
You can’t be an actress, author or astronaut. And you believed them.
You can’t be what you were really born to be. And you believed them.
You can’t be successful. And you believed them.
You can’t live a life of purpose and significance. And you believed them.
Furthermore, you have been proving them right every, single day, since.
True story and it’s tragic.
In today’s episode of the LadyBoss Lounge Podcast I help you get clear on how to decide on an online business.

055. Why your business needs a website
The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast
02/17/21 • 13 min
Your business needs a website that works for YOU!
Working for you means having a sales funnel that directs customers to your website. Working for you means INCREASING SALES.
Working for you means having an endless stream of customers knocking down your door looking for your offerings.
Working for you means a thriving business with less stress for you.
So, do you need a website for your business?
It’s pretty safe to say that for most businesses today, a website is a must - it’s not just about what it does for you, it’s about what it does for your customers.
A website not only provides a professional touch but a personal one where customers can get to know you on a more intimate level, PROVIDED your MESSAGING is right.
From a risk aversion perspective, we have seen many instances where a business’s social media page has been taken down for no apparent reason.
I am a firm believer that when you first start out with your online business you DO NOT need a website straight away. There are many ways that you can optimise Social media to make sure you have an online presence... However, in the long run...it will be very difficult to sustain your business without a website.
So, what’s the real importance of a website?
Who needs one, and why?
What do they really do and provide?In today’s episode we are going to take a look at the reasons why a website is so important for your business..
So let’s dive into it...

047. 8 Secrets to Finding More Time in Your Day
The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast
12/09/20 • 12 min
As a woman we play so many roles every day...mother, wife, taxi driver, chef, business owner, we just never seem to have enough hours in the day to do it all.
We start with such good intentions, plan out our day the night before and then...it’s like the whole world is conspiring against us to make sure we don’t get things done!
That was me for so long until I realised, I could continue to make all the excuses in the book, but unless I get some order into my life I will never be able to run a successful business AND continue to be a present mom and wife.
So, what’s my secret, you may ask?
One little word called...SELF-DISCIPLINE!
Let’s be honest. For most of us, it’s a work in progress wrapped in good intentions, procrastination, and feelings of failure.
But it doesn’t have to be. Self-discipline, like everything else, is a practice. Not every day will be perfect, but each day - with its failures and small wins - is progress, and that’s what self-discipline is all about.
In today’s episode we are going to look at 8 hacks you can start implementing into your life, to help you become more disciplined and ultimately become more productive, so that you can have more time to do the things that you love!
Let’s dive in...

026. How to Create and Share your Story
The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast
06/24/20 • 18 min
As human beings we love listening and watching people’s stories, especially when it’s a success story.
Whether it someone that has gone from rags to riches, lost a 100 kilos or “run” a marathon in a wheelchair, it doesn’t matter what the story is, as long as it inspires us and create the belief that if they can do it I can do it too.
As entrepreneurs and network marketers we are paid story tellers. Through sharing our story and experiences, people start to know, like and trust us and eventually, if what you have to offer fills a need in their life, they will buy from us.
Today we are going to have a look at how you can share your story in a powerful, professional and impactful way.
We will look at the 5 step system to formulate your personal story...
· Who you are?
· Why were you looking for an opportunity?
· How did you hear about the opportunity?
· Why did you choose it?
· What is it doing for you now?
As well as what I call the 4 P’s for sharing your company story...
P – Partnership
P – Products
P – Programs/Pay plans/Why NWM
P – Positioning and timing
And we will finish off with how you transition from the one to the other.
To help you with this exercise I have created a worksheet for you to follow. Head over to www.marenbarnard.com/story to download your FREE copy.
Grab your pen and paper and let’s dive into it!

027. Why you need to Build a Brand as a Network Marketer
The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast
07/01/20 • 16 min
With so many people really being affected by Covid-19 financially, I believe there has never been a better time to join a network marketing company to start creating an additional income. Network marketing is such a great industry as it gives so many people the opportunity to create their own online business even if they don’t have any previous business experience.
However, an issue I hear all the time when starting new people is “But there is already so many people selling x product, how can I make a success of it?” or “Everyone has already heard of X product and no one is going to buy from me.”
And I totally agree that is the business model of Network Marketing with thousands of people selling the exact same product as you. So how do you stand out in the crowd? How are you going to differentiate yourself from the thousands of people in your company selling the exact same products? How do you become the expert so that people will choose to go with you before anyone else?
In today’s episode we are going to dive into talking about...
· How to stand out from the crowd
· Why you need to create a USP (Unique selling point)
· Why you need to brand yourself and not your company
Grab a cuppa and let’s dive into this...

023. Goal Setting | My 5 Golden Rules for Goal Setting
The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast
06/03/20 • 24 min
“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail...”
Goal setting and planning is crucial when it comes to succeeding in your business.
But what exactly is a goal?
“A goal is a target to aim for, something which you do not already have but when achieved will enhance your life in some way. It may be something you want to HAVE (a new house, a holiday), BE (a more confident person, a healthier person) or DO (change career, learn a new skill).”
To help you take action on this week’s episode - and because I am all for taking action and making it happen - I have created a FREE worksheet for you to help you with setting and achieving your goals...you can download it at marenbarnard.com/goalsetting
I have found that succeeding at a goal provides enormous motivation for achieving even more.
Effective goal setting relies on a combination of three factors:
1. What you want to achieve:
These are your goals. They’re the result you want to see, like losing 10 kilos or writing a novel.
2. How you’re going to get there:
This is your plan or the daily actions you’re going to take to get the results you want. Like running 10 km a week or writing every day.
3. Why you want it:
These are your habits. They’re the unconscious routines that drive your daily actions.
That last part—the why—is the most important part of the entire goal setting process.
To accomplish your goals, however, you need to know how to set them.
You can't simply say, "I want" and expect it to happen. Goal setting is a process that starts with careful consideration of what you want to achieve and ends with a lot of hard work to actually do it.
In between, there are some very well-defined steps that transcend the specifics of each goal. Knowing these steps will allow you to formulate goals that you can accomplish.
In this week’s episode we cover my Five Golden Rules of goal setting so you can create your own personal success plan.

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"

The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast
02/12/20 • 54 min
You love the thought of building your own business from home, but the reality of juggling a job, kids, laundry, cooking and everything else that falls under the “mum” umbrella, can feel a bit overwhelming sometimes.
How can you possibly take on another thing with the short amount of spare time you have?
And let's be honest, as mum entrepreneurs, you're already spending half of that mental capacity with your family and keeping your kids happy, right?

Min started off working a full-time corporate career while building her network marketing business in the pockets of her day. She then had her first baby, Elijah, and just over a year
later India was born.
Min shares with us how she juggles motherhood and running her business and the one driving force that keeps her on track.
If you have kiddies and struggle to manage your day and are looking for more structure, then I can’t wait for you to listen to this incredible woman.

090. A story of a woman that could be YOU
The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast
10/13/22 • 20 min
There’s a story of a woman who lived according to the “WHEN” philosophy...and her life went something like this...
I’m going to travel one day... WHEN I have the money
I’m going to spend longer with my kids... WHEN I have the time
I’m going to start writing my book... WHEN I feel more creative
I’m going to mend broken relationships... WHEN I feel like I can learn to forgive
I’m going to quit my work... WHEN I find the courage to do so
I’m going to start my online business...WHEN I’ve done another course
She believed that ONE DAY she would do all these things... but sadly, that day never came for her.
Little did she realise that the sands of time were running out for her.
The years went by and she never got to travel, spent little time with her kids, never wrote her book and never quit her job...she died with massive regrets having done nothing she was destined to do.
Are you currently choosing to live like this woman? Are you also playing the “WHEN” game?
If that’s you, what is it going to take for you to realise that you only have ONE PRECIOUS LIFE.
Do the things you want to do because “WHEN” might never come for you.
It’s never too late to choose a new path. I know you will choose wisely... with this old woman in mind.
Blessings, Maren
