Charelle and I are BACK with another episode of Making Good Book Club! While The Art of Gathering is not technically a business book, it is absolutely one that can be relevant for all of our businesses and I really encourage EVERYONE to read it! This book is about the fact that even a simple meeting can be a transformative experience – the world or someone’s world can be just a little bit different as a result of it, and this is worth thinking through! This episode is for ANYONE who hosts events, in person or online. You will learn a lot.

Today’s episode is all about brand messaging: the what, why, and how… and how to actually apply it to your business. This is the first time we’re diving into this subject on the podcast, and we couldn’t imagine a better guide than Ashlee Sang.

Ashlee is a business strategist who equips conscious and caring business owners with brand messaging strategies to grow their impact and revenue in alignment with their values. We learned SO MUCH from Ashlee, and we know you’re going to as well.

Today we are talking about something that many small business owners shy away from: SALES. And although it’s not always the most comfortable topic, it’s SUCH an important one, and so I’m thrilled to be joined by my guest today, Jen Szpigiel of Becoming Iconic for this conversation that will help you look at sales in a whole new way.

In this “first ever” for Making Good, I sat down with a small business owner who’s just starting out, Corinne Monaco, the artist and owner behind Just Peachy Illustration. She also helps produce and edit this very podcast. In our coaching style conversation, we talked about where she is in her business and why she’s focusing on wholesale, and together we came up with a step-by-step plan of action for her next few months. We’re going to check in with Corinne in 90 days to see how our plans panned out, so be sure to keep an eye out for some Just Peachy updates here on the podcast!

If you ever struggle with doubting yourself, lack of motivation, consistency... or so many other things, you're not alone. In this episode I'm sharing 10 very common things you might be experiencing in your small business journey.

In this episode, we discuss the book The Go Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea by Bob Burg and John David Mann. This is a book that has been recommended to me a LOT over the last couple years and I’m excited I finally got a chance to read it! In this book club discussion, my co-host Charelle Griffith and I discuss the power of giving, the 5 laws of stratospheric success, why it's better to be a go giver than a go getter, and more.

I often say that being a small business owner is the greatest adventure in personal growth that a person can go on.

We learn and we grow SO MUCH as small business owners. I am not the same person I was in December 2017 when I first launched Good Sheila, my stationery brand. In this episode I'm sharing 5 of the biggest mindset shifts I've made that have changed the course of my life and business.
