The Goal Digger Podcast

I think just about everyone and their mother knows the story of Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs starting Apple Computer Co. from Jobs’ parents garage… but did you know they’re not alone in the list of billion-dollar companies who started with little-to-no investment?  Walt Disney, Hewlett-Packard, Mattel, Papa Johns, and so many more household names were all founded on a tight budget and a good idea, proving you don’t need investors to start something amazing… you just need creativity, passion, and the willingness to take one step at a time. If you've ever felt the tug to start your own business but worried about the cost, this episode is for you. I’m about to give you 10 fresh business ideas that are perfect for anyone looking to make a big impact with a small investment. I even think that some of the BEST business ideas don’t require a ton of money to get off the ground!  It IS possible to dream big without spending big, and I’m going to prove it to you right now.

Are you struggling with converting your audience into paying clients? If so, today’s coaching session may be for you! After all, as business owners, our goal is to increase our bottom line… because Instagram followers and social media ‘likes’ don’t pay our bills! Claudia Woodford is a self-love & empowerment coach for working moms. In our coaching session, we discuss how to convert her audience into paying clients, and I help her with her messaging (using guiding principles that YOU can use to get clear on your brand, too)! Since Claudia has limited time for her business, we want to make sure she puts her time to its best use so that she can eventually reach her goal to quit her nursing job.  Claudia asks great questions about niching down and nailing down her messaging so that she can take her business to the next level, and I know that no matter what industry you're in, you’ll be taking notes while listening to our conversation, so click play NOW!

NEW brand, who dis?! Visit http://www.jennakutcher.com to witness the magic!  A lot of times when we think about a rebrand, we think about new logos and colors… and as you’ll hear in this episode, there was a lot of that. But through this process, there was also a lot of discussion about what the Jenna Kutcher brand IS; how to make it reflect ME and what I stand for and who I am becoming.  In this episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on what went into the new brand, why it came about, who played a role in helping get it done, and how we went about it. Whether you’re building your first or your fifth brand, my goal for this episode is to help you start to think about your own brand and if you need a little update, too!  This rebrand was a labor of love from everyone involved from start to finish, and I’m so proud to say that I think we’ve created something uniquely, undeniably ours. To see the new brand in its entirety, visit http://www.jennakutcher.com to witness the magic, or any of my social media platforms @jennakutcher!

The strategy I’m about to teach you today gives your content a waaaay longer shelf life, making sure your hard work gets seen, consumed, and SOLD. Gone are the days when you spent hours working on a lengthy blog post, podcast episode, or YouTube video and hit ‘post’ without a plan to promote it… I’m going to share with you my best tips to get more eyes on your content in less time than it takes to binge-watch your favorite TV show! Join my FREE training, 20x Your Traffic in 1 Hour a Week with Pinterest, at http://www.teachmetopin.com to learn how Pinterest can work for YOUR business! Pinterest’s content lives more than 120 times longer than ANY social media platform. While the most traction happens in the 6-12 month window (referred to as a social media post’s ‘half-life’), well-performing pins can bring tons of traffic even years afterwards. To this day, I literally get thousands of impressions a month on pins that are 3+ years old! If that doesn’t revolutionize the way you think about your content, I don’t know what will. Are you ready to transform your content strategy while reclaiming your precious time? Click play NOW!

If you’re anything like me, it can be hard to pivot from work mode to life mode – especially when you’re an entrepreneur and the work is quite literally never “done.” However, over the past few years, I’ve incorporated a few key practices into my daily rhythms that have helped me be more present in my LIFE, even when there are needs in the business! I don’t think I’m the only one but I am obsessed with hearing about other people’s routines whether it’s their morning routine, their skincare routine – there’s something so fun about visualizing that person’s life in a more detailed way and I always feel like I get new tips and tricks to stay and try in my own life.   So in this episode, I’m sharing my personal work wind-down routine with you, which is how I exit the workday and enter into life mode with more ease and less tension!

Calling all goal diggers who have never publicly shared your dream, the project you’re working on, or about the business you want to start! I know that putting ourselves out there can be incredibly scary…. But it’s necessary to your success.  Sharing yourself and what you’re working on allows you to leave breadcrumbs on the path to help people understand who you are, what you do, and why you do it -- and why they should be willing to invest in it. It’s true that people buy from those they know, like, and trust, and the best way to invite others to get to know you is through the content you create. I’m sure you knew that already! But what if it’s not that simple? What if talking about your business doesn’t come as naturally for you? I know that feeling all too well – there have definitely been seasons in my entrepreneurial journey where I was either scared to put myself out there or genuinely didn’t think I had anything ‘interesting’ to say. I knew I had to post, but didn’t know where to begin! If you find yourself struggling to tell your story and sharing who you are and what you do, in this episode I will share 5 easy ways you can start posting TODAY to build awareness of your business and boost engagement. By embracing these steps, you’ll gain confidence in letting your voice be heard and building meaningful connections with your audience, too. Click play now!

It’s no secret that entrepreneurship is hard. Between long days, sleepless nights, and making tough decisions, it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. And when you combine the challenges of entrepreneurship with being a mom AND having a full time job? Well, let’s just say the stakes are even higher.  In this episode, I’m coaching Gillian Behnke who is the founder of Mom Camp, a company dedicated to helping moms put themselves back on their priority list. She is clearly doing important work, but she is struggling with navigating the challenging waters of managing a full-time job alongside running Mom Camp. In our conversation, we discuss how to balance “all the things”, and I also give Gillian advice on how to host exceptional live experiences that return a profit, because events are expensive!

I saw a meme the other day that said, “Someone asked me to describe who I am and I couldn’t say my profession, a wife, or a mother - that hit different.” And honestly, I think that for a lot of us, this is a challenge! In a world where we often lead with, “Tell me what you do” it’s not a space to share who you are outside of the roles you play.  Over the last year I’ve been really asking myself that question and also giving myself the time and space to rediscover who Jenna really is.  In this episode, I’m sharing what I’m learning, how I’m exploring, and the questions I’m asking myself pretty much daily – as someone who hasn’t fully arrived and doesn’t plan to but as someone who is committed to being a human outside of being a mom, a wife, and an entrepreneur – my favorite roles on planet earth, but also not the totality of who I am or who I want to be in this lifetime.  Goal Digger Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ Goal Digger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ Goal Digger Show Notes: https://www.jennakutcherblog.com/reallife  Thanks to our Goal Digger Sponsors: Visit article.com/goaldigger for $50 off your first purchase of $100 or more!

In today’s ever-changing landscape of quick dopamine hits on social media and a LOT of ‘noise’ amongst creators, keeping our audience engaged is more important than ever. People reflexively skip ads and run away from blatant sales pitches, but what do people lean in and listen to? Stories. Think about how tired YOU are of seeing the same ol’ buzzwords come across your screen. Your customers are, too! Akua Konadu is a storytelling strategist and social media educator who helps business owners lean into their gifts and create stories that engage with their audience and drive meaningful connections on social media. She is also host of the Independent Business podcast, powered by HoneyBook, where she breaks down the science of self-made success! In our conversation today, Akua is teaching us how to become our business and brand’s best storytellers and captivate the attention of our target customers.
