Done With Limiting Business Advice?
"Some people are just better suited for second in command; you should give the business over to your husband."Â This is the answer I got on two separate occasions from two male, business owner friends of mine when I asked them for business advice in the early days of running my company.
My business coach told me when I was pregnant with my first child that once my baby was born I wouldn’t want to run my business anymore. I would just want to lay down and stare at my baby all day. Spoiler alert! That did not happen. Two babies later and I’m still running my business.
It Shouldn't Be This Way
Women own nearly half of the businesses in the US and this number is growing
BUT
88% of women-owned business make less than $100,000/year
Less that 2% of women-owned businesses make 7 figures compared to 12% of businesses overall
THE WAY THE WORLD IS TEACHING WOMEN TO RUN BUSINESSES IS NOT WORKING
You're Not a Failure
Only learning to run your business from men can lead to burnout and discouragement because it doesn’t take into consideration the extra work you have on your plate, the massive roadblocks society puts in front of women to keep them from succeeding and the mindsets you were handed that are keeping you stuck.
I’ve seen over the last few years of working with women in business that women are lacking a proven path to follow to reach the success they’re looking for.
And this leaves you feeling like you’re a failure, like there’s something wrong with you because you’ve poured yourself into your business and it’s still not giving you the return you so desperately need.
It’s not your fault that you’re stuck in this situation and I'm here to help you get out and give you the path to follow.
You Need a Path to Follow
Most women business owners are missing a few key elements to be able to blow these statistics out of the water and run their businesses as well or better than the men are. We are determined to do this differently and give you what you ACTUALLY need. There is hope. You could just be a few months away from transforming your life literally forever.
After studying the most effective methods for getting business success for women, we’ve put together this new process that helps you get a business that works like clockwork and makes you money around the clock
It's OK to invest in you
A lot of women really struggle to invest in themselves through something like a coaching group, but without a framework to follow and a community to support you business growth is slow, you stay exhausted and some women just quit entirely because their life and family are suffering.
We see overwhelmingly that those who do NOT move through a proven process like this stay locked up like the statistics say.
It can be better for YOU!
Barefoot Business Coaching
We move forward better together so our group coaching program consists of weekly sessions where we work through our proven framework together and make sure you get the support you need.
The Path
Mindset
The first thing we address in small group business coaching is mindset. If you have the right thought patterns, you become unstoppable no matter what the people around you are telling you. We address the limiting beliefs you’re living with every day that are keeping you stuck and replace them with effective, powerful thoughts that will get you where you want to go.
This sets you free to accomplish your goals without subconsciously holding yourself back. Even if this is the only step you take, your business and your peace are going to grow quickly.
blueprint
The next thing we do is give you a blueprint for how to run a successful business. Even if you’ve been running your business for years you’re probably still missing some key elements that will allow your business to take off. Having a solid blueprint ensures you’ll never have the wind knocked out of you by things like an unexpected tax bill, unclear financials, a lawsuit that comes after your family or a client that refuses to pay. Your business will be set up for success
marketing
Next up is marketing! This can seem so complicated but I will teach you to truly understand the fundamentals of marketing so you’ll never be at a loss of how to get customers buying your product or service and you won’t be at the mercy of sleazy marketers who are just trying to take your money and run.
systems
After that is systems. If you’re running a business, chances are you are exhausted. This is because you need systems and automation. Right now you are losing hundreds of hours doing tasks that software could be doing for you nearly for free. When you systematize and automate, you get your time back, you get your life back, and things stop falling through the cracks. Automation seems complicated but if you follow our process it can actually be really simple.
community
The last thing you get inside of you business coaching group is probably the most important and that is community. Running a business is lonely, especially as a woman. You see the stay at home moms pushing their strollers through the park and a piece of you aches because you know if you tried to strike up a conversation they wouldn’t really understand you or what your life looks like. You try to make friends with business owners but so many of them are men and their eyes glaze over when you try to talk about how hard it is to run a business with toddlers running around or when you mention the microaggressions and misogyny you face on a daily basis. You need a sisterhood that understands you. Your coaching program comes with a community group where you can talk with fellow members and with me in between sessions so you vent, get and give advice and you never have to be alone. We are stronger together.
I've been there too.
A note from your coach
My name is Jecelyn I've been running a business since I was 20, and I understand what it feels like to start going after your dreams only to be hit with roadblock after roadblock. I understand how it feels to have massive dreams and no clear picture of how to accomplish them. I’ve built a successful business while breastfeeding babies and with no formal business education despite BS advice from the people who were supposed to help me. Now it’s my life mission to make sure that no woman entrepreneur is ever stuck with bad information and no support. I help women like you who perhaps feel like there's no hope of reaching their dreams in business and avoiding burnout
