Being a good storyteller can significantly impact your business. Whether you are sharing how your business got started or explaining how something works, you often express your thoughts and ideas through telling your story. When it comes to telling your story, it's important to keep in mind the medium you are using. Whether it's writing a book, blog post, or article, or sharing your story with an audience through speaking engagements, presentations, or podcasts, knowing how to connect and inspire your audience is critical to telling a good story. On today's episode, I'm discussing the differences between sharing your story through writing verses speaking and how to paint a picture for your readers through the words you choose when writing your book, article, or blog post.   The better storyteller you can become, the more effective you are going to be.   This week on Your Money, Your Business, Your Life: Keeping the message you want to get across to your audience at the top of your mind Relating to your audience through your writing Using your own life experiences to add the emotional element that your audience desires     Learn More on the Essential Components of a Successful Business    Invest in YOU with our Essential Components of a Successful Business Online & Live Training Course!

Whether you're selling a book, a product, or a service, the three-legged stool analogy applies.

Statistics show that 8 out of every 10 new businesses fail within the first 18 months, but no one ever talks about why so many new businesses fail so soon after they launch. To have a successful, thriving, sustainable business, you need more than just passion and talent. I've talked a lot about the power of association – the power of your network. What many new business owners do not realize is that as your business grows and evolves, so should your network and those you associate with. Beyond your passion, talent, and network, though, your personal plan for your business can often be the determining factor of whether your company grows successfully – or becomes another statistic. On this week's episode of the Your Money, Your Business, Your Life podcast, I want to share with you some of the critical components that you should be considering when planning your business for success.   This week on the Your Money, Your Business, Your Life Podcast: Your business plan is a living document The three reasons many businesses fail The importance of assessing and reassessing your business plan The importance of "getting in touch" with your ideal customers and creating a feedback loop Creating your company's value proposition Differentiating yourself from your competitors Being a great leader to your team and customers Tying in your revenue model with your business model Understanding the timing of your revenue   Tips for Planning Your Business for Success: Have a living business plan Assess – and re-assess – your plan regularly Create a feedback loop with your customers Understand your unique selling proposition Review your materials to make sure you are communicating your product's benefits – not features Be a leader that other people will look up to Review your numbers     Help Others Take Care of Their Money, Their Business, & Their Life!                     Thanks for joining us on this episode of Your Money, Your Business, Your Life podcast!

Have you ever looked at your career and thought to yourself: "This is not where I want to be; I have a greater purpose in life." Many professional women come to a crossroad in their career where they feel trapped in their job, wanting to escape, and find their true purpose in life. My guest today is Ali Brown, dubbed the entrepreneurial guru for women by Business News Daily. Like many aspiring entrepreneurs, her story started in the business world – working for various companies but simply feeling miserable. Today, Ali joins me on the show to share her story, why she decided to leave her regular 9-to-5 job to become a freelance copywriter. She shares how she built up the credibility to become a nationally known public speaker, and why she is so passionate about empowering other women to find the success and freedom they deserve.   "Success for women right now is having choices. There's no right or wrong way to do this." – Ali Brown   This Week on the Your Money, Your Business, Your Life Podcast: How she got started as a freelance copywriter and why she pivoted her business. Her experience on The Secret Millionaire show and how it transformed her life. Why it is important for entrepreneurs to learn when to say "no," and when to say "yes" to new opportunities. How getting involved with your local media can help you refine your message while building contacts and connections to your audience. Doing things that stand out and seen as being bold are great ways to get media exposure.     Ali's Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Review your core values. Give yourself permission to make a shift. The biggest barrier in your way right now is that you don't trust yourself. You need to trust that you know what is right. When you step up and into your highest good, it will have a ripple effect on yourself, your business, and others. It will inspire others that need to be inspired.     Connect with Ali Brown: com Ali Brown on Facebook Glambition Radio     Help Others Take Care of Their Money, Their Business, & Their Life!               Thanks for joining us on this episode of Your Money, Your Business, Your Life podcast!

Have you ever had to make an important decision so you sit down with your pen and paper and write a list of pros and cons? When you're making that list, you're likely asking yourself dozens, if not hundreds, of questions – but are you asking yourself the right question? Creating a pros and cons list can sometimes be helpful, but what if your list of pros is just as long as your list of cons? What do you do, then? Fear is often the factor that stops potentially great entrepreneurs in their tracks even before they've taken that first courageous step into entrepreneurism. On today's episode, I'm talking about one very important question you should be asking yourself if your trying to decide to start a business and become a successful entrepreneur – the question of "Why not?" What is stopping you from living the dream life you want for yourself and your family? Why are you letting it prevent you from reaching your true potential? And how can you turn those fears into the courage you need to find the associations and create opportunities for success?   "There are no failures. There are only learning opportunities."   This Week on the Your Money, Your Business, Your Life Podcast: Looking at mistakes and failures as lessons learned through experience. You need to know your "why" because that's your passion, but you need to ask "why not" to motivate you to move forward. Finding associations that compliment your talents to create a driving force to achieve a common mission – together. Collaboration and building strategic alliances is the "name of the game" in business today. Sometimes you can turn an obstacle into an opportunity. You don't need a huge team. You need great associations and the right team members with the right skills. The number 1 stumbling block for entrepreneurs reaching the success they deserve – is fear. How to turn your fears into motivation and faith. Invest in yourself and your future.   Your Money, Your Business, Your Life Resources: Outwitting the Devil book by Sharon Lechter & Napoleon Hill   The Takeaway: Ask yourself: Am I still tormenting myself over a mistake that made me feel like a failure? What can I learn from that mistake? Why not forgive myself?   Help Others Take Care of Their Money, Their Business, & Their Life!     Thanks for joining us on this episode of Your Money, Your Business, Your Life podcast!

Today with high interest rates and reduced credit limits, monitoring your credit score is vitally important. Your credit score fluctuates frequently. With every major purchase you make, every line of credit you apply for, it impacts your overall score. Anyone who has heard me speak at various events and conferences likely already know my story – how my passion and motivation to educate others about managing their finances really started and ignited after my son, Philip, went to Arizona State University and found himself in debt with credit card companies. Today, Philip joins me on the show to share how he improved his credit score and what he did that may help you benefit and learn from his experiences. He shares his insight and tips on the five key areas that impact your credit score and explains the difference between "Good Credit," "Okay Credit," and "Bad Credit," and what you can do to start improving your credit score.   "Having different types of credit is actually beneficial to your credit score." – Phillip Lechter   On This Week's Episode: Phillip shares the 5 key areas that impact your credit score the most. He explains the difference between good credit, bad credit, and "okay" credit. We talk about the impact that frequent credit checks can have on your overall score. He explains the different types of credit and why it is good to have different types of credit. Phillip explains how having no credit or no debt can negatively impact your credit score. We discuss why it's important to request your credit report yearly and how it can help you monitor or avoid identity theft.   The 5 Primary Areas That Impact Your Credit Score: Payment History Amount Owed Credit History Types of Credit New Credit   The Takeaway: While we can't necessarily always control what happens with the credit reporting agencies, it's important to understand how these five elements impact your credit score. Being responsible and owning your credit is a critical component to getting and having what you want.   Help Others Take Care of Their Money, Their Business, & Their Life!

Over the last several years, fear has largely dictated the economy instead of fundamentals. The uncertainty of where the market is heading has made it a scary time for many families and investors. Many people who thought they were on the right path to retirement have come to realize that, instead of retiring at 65 – they will need to work until they are 70 or older to achieve the goals they set. On today's episode of Your Money, Your Business, Your Life, I am joined by the CEO of R.G. Capital, Robert Graham. Robert has been in the investment industry for over a decade and is known for growing his investment firm by 35% year after year despite the uncertain economic times.

Risk tolerance and learning how much risk you can take.

Mixing family issues with money issues and making it all flow smoothly isn't always easy. The emotional aspects of each often co-mingle and blend, but having the ability to celebrate each win together – as a family – is an incredible feeling. I am incredibly honored to have my son, Phillip Lechter, as well as my husband, Michael, be a huge part of many of my businesses. And, today, Phillip joins me on the show to discuss our family business and how we – as a family – have overcome some of the challenges we have faced over the last ten years as a working mother-son duo.   "No matter how you slice & dice it, who you work with does become your family in some way, shape, or form." – Phillip Lechter   This Week on the Your Money, Your Business, Your Life Podcast: A game has its rules – and a family business is the same way.

Diane Kennedy has been in the tax consulting industry for many years. She is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Business Week bestselling author of 8 books and has helped me and many of my clients' structure and plan their financial and tax strategy. Diane works as a CPA, tax strategist, business builder and investor, but more importantly – she is a financial educator. Diane joins me on the show today to share her tips and insight on how to turn your passion into a asset – a meaningful, successful, money-making business. We discuss what new entrepreneurs should – and should not – do during their first year in business, why it's critical to hire someone to handle your first-year taxes, and what you need to do to prove to the IRS that your business is, in fact, a business – not just a hobby.   "Sometimes it's just about taking your passion and tweaking it for what the market wants." – Diane Kennedy   On This Week's Episode: We discuss the formula that makes up your Personal Success Equation. Diane explains what the IRS looks for when deciding whether you have a legitimate business or merely a hobby. She explains why it's important to have annual meetings and documented meeting minutes. We discuss the type of business expenses and tax deductions small businesses can legitimately claim.   Steps to Take When Starting a Business: Get a good sense of what the business is going to be like. Talk to an attorney. Get a business structure started. It not only protects you in case you are sued, it also protects you against excess tax. Maintain good record-keeping – from day one. Take a close look at payroll. Figure out exactly where you are doing business.   Mentioned in This Episode: 3 Feet from Gold book by Sharon Lechter   Connect with Diane Kennedy: Diane Kennedy CPA Diane Kennedy on Twitter Diane Kennedy on LinkedIn   Help Others Take Care of Their Money, Their Business, & Their Life!

YMBL055 One Big Life!   One of the biggest challenges women entrepreneurs face as they build their businesses and strive to creating the "one big life" they deserve is battling the emotions of fear, self-doubt, and self-worth. Women often believe they are unworthy or incapable of achieving their dreams or strive for achieving a work-life balance they can be proud of.   On today's episode, I'm discussing the importance of creating an environment of positivity, confidence, and support to achieve your dreams. I'll explain how to use your "big life" goal as a road map to accomplish the success you deserve and the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people to help you through the negative moments in your life. I'll also explain the importance of building your self-confidence, self-esteem, and sense of self-worth to overcome your fears and achieve success.     You have the opportunity to fulfil every aspect of your life." - Sharon Lechter     This week on the Your Money, Your Business, Your Life Podcast:   Finding a work-life balance that works for you.

YMBL054 Principles of Success - Outwitting the Six Ghosts of Fear   Entrepreneurs are faced with a wide variety of challenges and obstacles. Sometimes, we allow ourselves to become overwhelmed in the emotional state that these obstacles create. One of the primary reasons why entrepreneurs stall when it comes to facing these obstacles and achieving success is fear. Fear can be a powerful motivator, stopping us in our tracks from achieving our goals or taking action toward our next level of success.   On today's episode, I'm discussing Napoleon Hill's theory of the six ghosts of fear. I'll share the six most common fears people face and explain how the fear of poverty and criticism can hold us back from achieving success. I'll also explain how succumbing to "analysis paralysis" and being indecisive are based on fears as well as how to overcome them.     "You give up your power when you let fear take over." - Sharon Lechter     This week on the Your Money, Your Business, Your Life Podcast:   The impact of indecision, doubt, and analysis paralysis. How the fear of risk impacts your ability to be successful. Strategies for overcoming the fear of poverty. Overcoming the fear of criticism. Symptoms of the fear of criticism. How to identify when fear prevents you from achieving your goals.

YMBL053 Principles of Success - The Sixth Sense   As an entrepreneur, you've likely been told to follow your gut, your instincts, your hunches, or your intuition. To use your intuition to guide you to achieving your goals and success. Your "sixth sense" - those gut feelings you have in certain situations or around certain people - is often referred to as "The Temple of Wisdom."
