  • This week on the podcast, Jinja Birkenbeuel @birkcreative @honestfieldguide joins me for the “Joy of Marketing” series, and it’s so refreshing to get to talk open and straight forwardedly about the constant change that we all face in business and marketing. Just when you *think* you’ve got something figure out, or you think you know what one platform is for and how it works (I’m looking at you, LinkedIn)… it’s quite likely that you’ll need to revisit at some point down the road.⠀ ⠀ JinJa shares a great story in this interview about LinkedIn, and how she’s found it to be a great tool for business. JinJa was leading a work shop recently for professionals in the wedding industry and many of these women (like myself) had written LinkedIn off as a place primarily for job searches and remaining in contact with past colleagues. LinkedIn offers a lot of opportunity for people to share about their business, meet like minded entrepreneurs, and find clients. ⠀ ⠀ While I doubt that Japanese author Okakura Kakuzō had any idea of what was to come for the world when he wrote this quote in 1913, it rings so true for today. ⠀ ⠀ Want to hear the whole conversation between JinJa and I? Check out the link in my profile, or, look for Jump Start Your Joy on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and subscribe.⠀ ⠀ Thank you for joining me, JinJa! It was a treat getting to talk to you again!⠀ ⠀ #entrepreneursofinstagram #marketingstrategy #changethenarrative #birkcreative #podcast #podcastlife #podcastersofinstagram #podcastersofig #digitalmarketing #googlepodcasts #spotifypodcasts #animation #artistsoninstagram #shepodcastslive #jumpstartyourjoy #jumpstartjoy #choosejoy #shepodcasts #shepodcastslive
  • This week on the podcast, I’m delighted to be talking about changing the narrative for small businesses and entrepreneurs in marketing with with JinJa Birkenbeuel @birkcreative of Birk Creative and @honestfieldguide podcast. JinJa and I had the pleasure of meeting at She Podcasts Live, and I truly enjoyed her sense of humor, realness, and her enthusiasm for podcasting. It’s a treat to have her on the show.⠀ ⠀ I hope you’ll join in as JinJa shares about her experience of working with people, and hearing their aha moments as they question the things they have assumed to be true for marketing. So many of us feel like things are set in stone, or that certain platforms are “only” for one kind of messaging or use. ⠀ ⠀ Thank you, JinJa for joining me this week! ⠀ To tune in to the whole conversation, click the link in my profile, or look for Jump Start Your Joy on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and subscribe.⠀ ⠀ #entrepreneursofinstagram #marketingstrategy #changethenarrative #birkcreative #podcast #podcastlife #podcastersofinstagram #podcastersofig #digitalmarketing #googlepodcasts #spotifypodcasts #animation #artistsoninstagram #shepodcastslive #jumpstartyourjoy #jumpstartjoy #choosejoy #shepodcasts #shepodcastslive
  • 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?
