The Business Reboot: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs Through Community and Coaching
EPISODE: Click Here
In our latest episode of The Business Reboot podcast, we dig into some of the core themes that drive our mission to support women entrepreneurs. From the impactful storytelling of our retreats to the deliberate choice of creating long-form podcast content over blogging, we believe in fostering genuine connections and providing actionable strategies for business growth. Here’s an in-depth look at the topics we touched upon.
We have always believed in the power of community and hands-on experiences when it comes to brainstorming and problem-solving. Our retreats are designed to be more than just getaways; they are immersive experiences where women entrepreneurs can come together, share their challenges, and develop actionable plans to overcome them. We prioritize intentional work time and coaching during these retreats, ensuring that every participant leaves with a clear roadmap tailored to their current life and business seasons.
One of the unique aspects of our retreats is the focus on aligning your plans with your current context. Goals and priorities change, and it’s vital to adapt accordingly. We encourage our attendees to audit their business processes, shedding what doesn’t work, and doubling down on what does.
When we started The Business Reboot podcast, we consciously chose this medium over blogging. We wanted to create a space where we could be more authentic and transparent, sharing our journeys and insights in a casual, humorous tone. Social media is a rented space, and we felt that a podcast would allow us to build a more substantial, long-term connection with our audience.
Our long-form content offers practical, useful information that listeners can implement in their businesses. We believe in the importance of taking action and creating an action plan with the help of coaches. This is why our episodes are not just about sharing stories but also about providing concrete steps and strategies for business growth.
Initially, we offered diverse programs, but it was through direct feedback from our clients that we realized individual coaching was the most effective. Small business owners need personal accountability, mindset support, and tailored strategies, which we can provide through one-on-one coaching. However, we didn’t discard the idea of group coaching altogether. After experimenting with a mastermind program, we pivoted back to focusing on individual coaching but kept the group format available for those who preferred it.
It’s essential not to let fear hold you back in business. Being transparent and honest is crucial, and flexibility is key. What works today might not work tomorrow, and being able to pivot and adapt is a strength we encourage in our clients.
Balancing work, life, and family is a topic we often discuss, and we understand it’s a continuous journey. We have faced our struggles and have learned to adjust our priorities based on different seasons and challenges. One piece of advice that has always stuck with me came from my mom, relating to marriage and military life. She emphasized the need for both partners to collectively give 100%, understanding that balance is a myth and that what matters is adjusting and supporting each other through various seasons.
A standout part of our journey has been drawing inspiration from incredible women entrepreneurs like Sarah Blakely, the founder of Spanx. Her perseverance, patience, and ability to keep her business ideas under wraps until the right moment for a successful launch are qualities we deeply admire. Her dedication to helping women in business and her genuine, down-to-earth nature make her a role model for us. Learning from her experiences has reinforced our belief in being transparent, taking risks, and never letting fear hold us back.
