After a recent experience of losing my voice and not having any content batched, I’ve decided that it is a company value to have one month of content batched at all times. No matter what time of the year. Why? Because while not posting on Instagram for a day or two or posting a podcast not at the regularly scheduled time isn’t the end of the world, it stressed me out because of how out of control I felt. I was a victim to my own circumstances that I created. It was all self-inflicted! And if I’m to grow my business, being totally stressed out doesn’t get me there. So this week’s results-based action item is helping me to have more peace of mind. In this episode I share:+ the mindset shift that needed to happen so that I could think differently about why batching content is important to me and my business+ creating the space so that I have the time to actually batch content+ the obstacles that I’m overcoming as I’m working through this process, and how you can overcome them tooRESOURCES: Find the blog post tha

We all know that if you want to get more eyes on your Instagram content, you need to create Instagram Reels.But despite doing “all the right things” on Instagram, do you still have a hard time selling your products or services?It’s because as business owners using Instagram to build an ideal audience, it doesn’t matter how many people see your content. What matters is that the right people are seeing your content, and your content is establishing you as an authority in your industry.While trends and viral sounds are fun to re-create and utilize, when the right people see the right message, the “know, like, trust” factor happens and it happens fast! Turning your Instagram account into an organic lead generator. So how do you do this? Authority-building Reels.In this episode of the 6-Figure Mompreneur Podcast I’m sharing:+ how you can build authority through simple, face-to-camera Reels+ how these types of Reels are different from the type of content you’ve seen on Instagram Reels+ and how to utilize these type

She loves to help women ditch chronic dieting and disease for holistic health and wellness. She mixes spirituality with her study of integrative nutrition to create a grace-based approach to nutrition and lifestyle that breaks shame-cycles and creates freedom, confidence, and ultimately, sustainable results.TAKEAWAYS:+ When it comes to making time for our wellness and energy levels Robin notices that many mompreneurs know it needs to be a priority, but many do not actually make it a priority. The actual prioritization doesn’t happen. The way you make it a priority is starting to take action consistently, even when it’s hard, you’re not seeing results, and it’s uncomfortable. Small action, when implemented over time, produces results. + A lot of times women don’t hit their wellness goals because they aren’t connected to them. Superficial goals like “losing 10 pou

Tracking your email’s open rates is a piece of data every online entrepreneur should do, and continually work on improving.Why?

And, energetically, if you’re going to be spending time on email marketing, don’t you want it to count?

Before you roll your eyes at the topic of this episode and say, “I’m busy, I don’t have time for a morning routine!” hold the phone. I’m not about to share with you a morning routine that will require 3 hours from you each morning. No one has time for that! Especially during the Summer when kids are home and your schedule is unpredictable.A morning routine can fast track your success in your business and at home, by helping you to see the bigger picture, attracting more of what is working into your life, and help you to set intentions in how you want to live your life, raise your kids, and run your business.In short, a morning routine puts gasoline on the fire that is already burning inside of you and helps you to see the next logical steps for you, based on your goals. So in this episode of the 6-Figure Mompreneur Podcast I’m sharing: + tools you’ll need to make a morning routine a success for you as a busy mompreneur+ why a morning routine can actually serve you and help you to get to your goals, faster+ my

Our season of life determines A LOT in terms of how we run our business.I find that a lot of mompreneurs feel guilty or frustrated about how they work because they are comparing themselves to someone else who they see or know on the internet, who is in a very different season of life, have a different support network, and/or a different business model. Honoring your season means that your business fits into your life, not vice versa. Because your business has to actually work for you. If it doesn’t work for you it won’t work for anyone else.So when examining your business and mashing it up with your season of life, it’s important that you’re able to differentiate the “shoulds” from the “needs”. In this episode of the 6-Figure Mompreneur Podcast I’m sharing: + the four areas of your business that need to shift whenever you have a change in season+ factors to think about to land on a method or business model that work better for you during that season+ how to know if what you’re doing is a “should” or a needVis
