Episode #69 Your 21st Century Blueprint with Kerry Morgan

Today I am so glad to be speaking with Kerry Morgan! Kerry is a seasoned entrepreneur, an experienced yoga teacher, and the founder of the 21st Century Blueprint.  With 20 years experience in a wide variety of industries, including the poultry industry, and acting as the owner of a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) League, she is building an epic virtual empire to guide heart-centered females into their power with digital strategic blueprints.

Our conversation covers the challenges of bringing a 21st century mindset to individuals who were raised in the 20th century. We also dug deep into how we organize our daily schedules, how running an MMA League prepared her for greater things, and her amazing live summit which includes everyday women speakers.

  • “If everyone thought the same, we would still be on horseback.” – Kerry

  • “As women we love to give our power away, we think that’s helping everyone else.” – Kerry

Episode #68 More Than Words and Money with Tess Wicks

Today I am more than thrilled to have the wonderful Tess Wicks with me. I was honored to be a guest on Tess’s Words and Money podcast a little while back, a podcast that educates millennial women on personal finance through casual money conversations, and we had a great conversation. Tess is a financial literacy expert and Profit First Professional. She works with individuals and online businesses to implement systems for successful cash management, debt payoff, and ultimate profitability. She believes that you can have anything you want in life, as long as you’re willing to do things a little differently.

Our conversation covers the challenges facing millennials, small business owners and entrepreneurs wanting to manage their money in a smart way in the currently unpredictable world we live in. We also learn that Tess is learning to be a Profit First practitioner, which will allow her to help anyone looking to set up their business in the system designed by Michael Michalowicz in his highly recommend book.

Quotes

  • “When I was in school for finance, I realized I had a hard time keeping pace with my male counterparts, which was a majority of my class, mainly because I had a lack of confidence and didn’t follow my intuition.” -Tess
  • “A lot of personal finance things we just don’t learn about in school, and if I have questions about these things, I know my peers do too.” -Tess
  • “I try to track my time, and if I don’t clock eight hours, that’s ok, because we don’t realize how unproductive we really are in the workplace.” -Tess
  • “[The amount you should go into debt for your business] highly depends on your strategy to monetize and pay off that debt.” -Tess
  • “Make sure that you take on the right amount of debt and recognize what your payoff strategy is going to be, and maybe even testing the market before you really go big on it.” -Tess
  • “Debt is a tool like handcuffs, where you can get locked in without a key to get out of them.” -Jen
  • “It’s important that you don’t use debt as a bandaid or something to get you to the next level.” -Tess

Episode #60 Write to Profit with Tepsii

Today I’m so excited to have Tepsii (one name, like Madonna!). She has a true corporate to self-employment success story.

Tepsii is a creative copywriter and coach who crafts simply-amazing-tailor-made copy for entrepreneurs ready to make serious moola online and create the freedom lifestyle they’ve always dreamt of.

She was inspired to be a copywriter by listening to Kimra Luna’s copywriter in the first round of Be True Brand You. She started out as a life coach, but copy was obviously her thing. She made $25K in her first two months and decided that she could probably quit her day job.

Less than four months later, her husband quit his job, they sold their house, and they packed up their entire family, including three daughters, and moved back to her home country of South Africa, all on her copywriting income.

Let her story inspire you and check out how you can sharpen your copywriting skills.

A Few Copywriting Tips from Tepsii

  1. Focus on the part of your life that pertains to your ideal client (If you are writing to single women, don’t talk about being a married mom).

  2. Throw in a bonus, mention a special interest! Talk about being a pilot – keeps things interesting. Or how being a rocket scientist can help you be a business coach.

  3. Think you don’t have material? Here’s a strategy to find your stories – Take out a piece of paper and draw a bunch of circles on it. Some big, some small, 15-20 circles. On each circle write one word that reminds you of an experience you’ve had that was really memorable. Places, college, sad moments, proud moments, etc, and fill up that page with all these experiences and then from there you can look at that paper and realize how much really have to work with.

Quotes

  • “Copy writing, for me, is a creative skill, it comes from my heart.” – Tepsii
  • “When you are starting your business, you can’t be throwing money in lots of areas. Some things you need to invest, and other things you need to DIY.” – Tepsii
  • “Copy writing is an awesome skill to have.” – Tepsii
  • “My process is a lot about figuring out what your story is.” – Tepsii
  • “We just keep asking ‘why’ until we get to the heart of the matter, about the difference this is going to make for your client in their life.” – Tepsii
  • “Your shame is actually your victory.” – Tepsi
  • “How do I figure out from all these things I’ve done what my story is and what the core is?” – Jen
  • “Figuring out your ideal client is a lot about what you’ve been through.” – Tepsii
