  • The Joy of Marketing! There are probably two camps around marketing: those who love it, and those who find it to be a chore. Which do you fall into?⠀ ⠀ How can you take the things you love about sharing your message, and your vision for your small business with the world? Can it reflect your values as a person? ⠀ This month on the podcast, I'm taking a look at what makes marketing joyful, fun, and playful. ⠀ ⠀ When I set out to create a look and feel for my show, I went with bright colors and a playful look on purpose. It reflects joy, and it also reflects the joy I feel when I share about the podcast and the work I do.⠀ ⠀ For me, marketing and talking about what I do is a choice. It's intentional, and I like doing it.⠀ ⠀ Want to learn more about how you can also approach marketing your small business, coaching practice, or service based business from a place of joy?⠀ Tune in this month (and next!) for lots of fun ideas and aha moments.⠀ ⠀ You can find the link in my profile, or look for Jump Start Your Joy on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. ⠀ ⠀ #businessowner #entrepreneurlife #business #ambition #entrepreneurial #wealth #beyourownboss #ceolife #businesslife #marketingmonth #jumpstartyourjoy #lifecoachlife #jumpstartjoy #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #entrepreneurmarketingtips #entrepreneurmarketing #femalebusinessowners #femaleentrepreneur
  • So there’s this rally cry out in the entrepreneurial world to “Stop Playing Small!” and, While that quote sounds all inspirational - it’s not. It’s a sneaky backdoor bullying tactic brought to you by your inner critic and fear. ⠀ ⠀ You know what fear wants you to believe? It wants you to question if what you’re doing is enough, if what you’re sharing is “big” enough, and if you’re challenging yourself “enough.” Fear wants you to question if you are enough. (And you are totally enough.)⠀ ⠀ The other ugly underbelly of this “Stop Playing Small” rally cry? It can start a shame spiral. It brings up shame around feeling fear about putting yourself out there (”if I’d just stop playing small I could do this…”). It brings up shame if you feel like there’s a “right way” to do something, and you don’t know what that right way is. And it gets used to “motivate” people when they’re not ready for something, which is another tentacle of shame. ⠀ ⠀ And the end result of folks hanging their hat on the idea that playing small is bad is that “not enough” + shame means you’re stopped in your tracks before you even start. ⠀ ⠀ And that’s when fear wins. ⠀ ⠀ So as an entrepreneur, please reconsider using “stop playing small” language. Your self care is dependent on being able to play small when you feel like it, hide out sometimes if you need to, and show up when you are able to. ⠀ ⠀ Every business starts small, and every entrepreneur does, too. And it’s totally OK to show up and own “small” as a badass, without worrying if you’re “playing small” and if that’s enough. You’ll grow into your own space as you go. ⠀ ⠀ Want to hear more about this, and my thoughts on how to make marketing joyful as an entrepreneur? Tune into the podcast this week - you can find the link in my profile.⠀ ⠀ #businessowner #entrepreneurlife #business #ambition #entrepreneurial #beyourownboss #ceolife #businesslife #jumpstartyourjoy #jumpstartjoy #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #entrepreneurmarketingtips #entrepreneurmarketing #femalebusinessowners #femaleentrepreneur
  • If you’re a new entrepreneur, growing a biz, please stop comparing yourself to others. ⠀ There’s two great things that happen when you stop comparing yourself (in addition to what Theodore Roosevelt has to say about it):⠀ Instant relief in knowing that you don’t have to do it all. You’re just starting. You’re growing. You’re figuring out, and that takes time (and resources). When you compare what you’re doing to someone who is 5, 10, or 20 years into a career, it’s comparing apples to oranges. A coworker once said to me “Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s ending.” THAT.⠀ You get to explore your own uniquity. (hat tip @whenIgrowupcoach). You’re the only one of you. Baby, that’s the fun of you…. And when you’re marketing, and you need to tap into that unique part of you first. ⠀ ⠀ This week on the podcast, I’m getting all funky with it and talking about 6 ways you can find more joy in marketing as an entrepreneur. ⠀ ⠀ To tune in, click the link in my profile, or, if you’re a rebel and need to do it your way, head over to Spotify and look up Jump Start Your Joy. ⠀ ⠀ #businessowner #entrepreneurlife #business #ambition #entrepreneurial #beyourownboss #ceolife #businesslife #jumpstartyourjoy #jumpstartjoy #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #entrepreneurmarketingtips #entrepreneurmarketing #femalebusinessowners #femaleentrepreneur
  • Having been a project manager in marketing and advertising for 20 years, it was a shock to me when I moved into marketing my own business. Maybe it was because it was easier to talk about someone or something else? Maybe it’s because marketing your own business is really personal, and vulnerable? Yes, yes, and yes.⠀ ⠀ This week on the podcast, I’m sharing the six things you need to know about how to approach marketing as an entrepreneur. And, how to find your own way to making marketing JOYFUL and FUN, because after all, it is a creative activity designed to start conversations.⠀ ⠀ Want to learn more?

  • Forky: Patron Saint of Podcasters. Why would I bestow a spork with piper cleaner arms this honor? UMMM, have your SEEN “Forky Asks a Question!” on Disney +?!? I am semi obsessed with Forky and think he’d be the greatest interviewer of the Toy Story franchise. As @theownershipmethod Zoha called him - “a fellow inquisitive mind.” And if you haven’t watched, he asks questions like “What is cheese?” And “What is a friend?” Now go watch and thank me later. #forkytoystory4 #forkyasksaquestion #forkyasksaquestion🍴 #forky #patronsaintofpodcasting #welcometomybrain #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #podcastlife #podcastthoughts
  • So, Suzie @sacredrecord is an amazing mix of story teller, truth finder, and narrative coach, and when she originally pitched herself she shared that she likes to harness the power of Mad Libs to help people find their most authentic bio. ⠀ Whaaatttt? As @whenIgrowupcoach might say … That’s #Amazeballs.⠀ ⠀ It figures that Suzie loves musical theater, and is a multi-passionate like so many of the listeners of the show, and so basically it was a big no duh to have her join me. And plus can be friends?⠀ ⠀ The truth of the matter is that many entrepreneurs (and especially women) find it hard to talk about themselves. You may have loads of experience coaching or working with others, but freeze up when you try to describe what makes you unique. ⠀ ⠀ Faced with the existential question of “Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?” you might even default into listing accolades, past jobs, and where you went to school and what degrees you hold when you go to write something about yourself. (A.Ham and @Lin_Manuel disapprove of this approach.)⠀ ⠀ Suzie has an answer for how to create a joyful, fun, intriguing bio and how to approach all sorts of other copywriting for your site. ⠀ ⠀ So click the link in my profile and you can tune in to our conversation. YAY!⠀ Thanks for joining me, Suzie!⠀ ⠀ #smallbiz #storyteller #SeizeYourStory #narrativeconsultant #sacredrecord #SuccessCoaching #NarrativeCoach #Happiness #hamiltonmusical #hamilton #a.ham #livelovelaugh #happysoul #happymoment #graditude #livetothefullest #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #jumpstartjoy #jumpstartyourjoy #choosejoy
