This episode is for you if:

  • You want to build a business you love while busy doing #allthethings
  • Family is your #1 but you also want to feed your creative genius 
  • You’re interested in growing your business, but get lost in the “how-to’s”
  • Bonus: If you’re in network marketing, you’ll hear some boss tips! (Stef was a 1% top earner when she was a network marketer)

“Stop giving up on yourself so early in the process” 

Stefanie’s journey in entrepreneurship actually started with network marketing. She’d left the corporate world to be with her family and jumped into what she thought would be more relaxed. In fact, she made it to the top 1% of the business BUT she was working around the clock and felt… lost in her mission. 

Now, she’s found her way coaching and leading home-preneurs on how to find success in the online world. She’s got a killer podcast and over 43.6K followers on Instagram. 

Pro Tip: Start looking at your networking marketing as a career, not as an affiliate. How can you expand your own branding umbrella and create something that’s 100% your own? 

On Growing your Business 

“Here’s how I grow… I pour into my niche.”  

Build a relationship with your potential clients. Create rapport by showing up and keep showing up because this is what makes the difference for a successful online business. 

Pro Tip: Give your ideal client a personality type. Identify this person and start speaking to them through the free content you put out in the online space. Then, identify what they need now. Next, provide the solution without asking for anything in return. 

You have to create this truth about who you are online and share this vulnerability online in order to truly grow. 

Therefore, simple strategy for tried and true steps forward are: identify the problems of your ideal client; solve them; and show up consistently. 

Consistency Hacks 

Listen you have you just as much time as anyone else, literally just as much time as that six-figure boss you’ve been following. 

Here’s what Stef does: 

1. I wake up and ask, What’s my number one intention of the day? This sets up your conscious mind up for success out. 

2. Then Stef blocks out her time and commits to the schedule. Turn off your phone, shut the door, and make clear boundaries with the family.

Pro Tip: It takes 21 days to make a habit

Stuck in a Rut? 

Go back to the promise you made to yourself when you started the business.

 “So often the constraint of people achieving their dreams in themselves. It’s the fear of I don’t know how; it’s not ready; I’m not an expert; I feel like a fraud. But everyone who’s had success started somewhere.” 

Set your intentions, time block and commit to it! 

Pro Tip: Stef asks her clients to jump in create a promise to themselves that they will not give up for TWO YEARS
