01 Jul 2019
KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCASTWhen it comes to raising a family and running a business, everyone is trying to find their own way. Whether it’s finding value in nurture, in security or in finance. If people are doing something different to you, remember it all comes down to how you feel valued as a human being.Guilt and sadness all comes down to believing you are making a good decision. If you are being made to feel that you’re not making a good decision, you will start to feel that guilt.Naturally women want to multitask, which shows when it comes to both our family-life and work-life. Although it’s natural, it results in burnout.Try to see it as an opportunity to involve your children in your work.You can teach them about the world of work and the importance of earning money. It’s also important to teach them about problem solving and the things that they enjoy.Give your children a chance to do something else whilst you’re working.Whether it’s filming a video or drawing a picture for your client, if they have something to focus on it will make time away from them that little bit easier.If you don’t have time to create a community, it’s important you’re creating a ‘sense of community’ instead.People want to feel as though they’re protected in a community, so creating a space where people feel as though people are protecting them, you will gain trust. Once you put trust with the authority you have, you will gain loyalty.One of the most important aspects of having a community is responsiveness. You need to ensure you’re responding to everyone that takes the effort to reach out to you.A Movement Manifesto is designed to help you discover your true values as an entrepreneur.To build your own community, you need to become micro-famous in someone else’s. To do this, join Facebook groups that are relevant to what you’re known for and search for keywords and start answering questions that you know you can help with. Spend 20-30 minutes a day becoming known.Don’t feel as though you need a huge community in order to benefit your business. Love and nurture the people that are already in your community. Work on the things you can control and the outcomes will happen.THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ABOVE ALL ELSE…Work doesn’t have to be a negative word and can be incredibly positive if you find the things that light you up. This is what you need to teach your children as you run your business.HIGHLIGHTS YOU SIMPLY CAN'T MISSIntroducing Dana Malstaff – 11:50Struggling as a New Mum and an Entrepreneur – 16:21The Biggest Challenges and the Benefits – 22:00Building a Strong Community in Business – 36:30Your Movement Manifesto – 44:00The First Steps to Building a Community 49:09LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODE5 Places to Use As Opportunities To Build Your ListHow to Produce A Webinar (Blueprint)Creating A Good Sales PageBoss-MomDana’s InstagramDana’s TwitterTranscript below Hello and a super warm welcome to this week's episode of the podcast.
