Embrace the Entrepreneur in you

Episode 65–Embrace the Entrepreneur in You

Do you want to learn how to embrace the entrepreneur in you?

The Working Woman Radio Show invited Dawn Kirk, the owner of BestU4Life, an executive coaching and consulting firm, into the studio to talk about how to make that happen.

As a woman who has worked as a senior executive in corporate America for Fortune 500 companies for many years, Ms. Kirk talks about why she left the corporate world to start her own business.

She talks about how the  traditional workplace sometimes penalizes older women instead of embracing their expertise and experience.

As a successful entrepreneur, she encourages professional woman who are looking to leave the traditional workplace and become self-employed to prepare as much as they can before they make the leap. She also shares about her recently published book entitled, Heartbeat Leadership.

Top 10 Podcasts of 2020

Top 10 of 2020

Episode 54–Top 10 Podcasts of 2020

The Working Woman Radio Show has officially turned one year old, and we are celebrating by bringing you the top 10 podcasts of 2020.

Over the past year, I have had such a blast interviewing guests, and I am so grateful to each of them for taking time out of their busy schedules to share their wisdom about the work they do. 

I am also super grateful to the many listeners who tune in each week, and listen to the program.  Without you, I would not have a show, so thank you, thank you, thank you!

As a way to celebrate the accomplishments of this past year, I thought that I would do a special episode featuring short clips of the top 10 most listened to shows of the past year. 

I picked these 10 specific episodes based on the number of downloads that the network said they received.

I arranged the clips of each episode in descending order, meaning that I will start with number 10 and work my way back to the number one most listened to episode of The Working Woman Radio Show for the past year.

So here we go!

More than 11.6 million firms are owned by women, employing nearly 9 million people, and generating $1.7 trillion in sales as of 2017. Women-owned firms (51% or more) account for 39% of all privately held firms and contribute 8% of employment and 4.2% of revenues.  Yet studies have shown that female business owners tend to be tentative about investing in the PR and marketing aspect of their business.

Special guest, Lizbeth Dison, who is the owner of Shiny, Inc., a boutique public relations firm, has over thirty years experience in marketing and communications, with a history of positions at Fortune 500 companies like Disney, Comcast, AT&T, Time-Warner and Cox Communications.

She explains the differences between PR and marketing, and she shares details on how to choose the right PR firm for your business.  Finally, she shares some simple tips for business owners to boost their public relations and marketing.

The Self-Employed Woman-Pt. 2

A Production of the Ultimate Christian Podcast Network.

The Self-Employed Woman Part 2Episode 6-The Self-Employed Woman-Pt.2

Many people look at a popular show like ‘Shark Tank’ and think that being an entrepreneur is super cool. While there are lots of positive things about being self-employed, it takes patience and tenacity to grow a successful business.

Helen King, a freelance writer/editor and the owner and operator of ‘Write Words’, an editorial service, will share the secrets of her entrepreneurial success.

During our interview, we will explore how to monetize your passions. We will also discuss the marketing tools necessary to grow your business. Finally, we deal with managing the many tasks of owning and operating a business.

 

Free Resources for Entrepreneurs

 

Prezi

Prezi allows you to create presentations using a large canvas format, as opposed to traditional slideshows. The service allows for zooming in and out of images, which they say is a more natural and effective way to communicate ideas. Prezi is available as a desktop, iPad, or “Meeting” account, which allows you to work on and share presentations with others in real time.

A free account allows you to create presentations and download them, while paid accounts of $59 or $159 per year offer other features such as the ability to make presentations private, work on a Prezi offline, or receive more storage space.

cooltext

CoolText generates logos and other graphics for free. After you submit a form describing the kind of logo you need, CoolText custom-generates one. You can also create buttons for use on a website. CoolText hosts the images online and provides an HTML code to link to. The site also offers more than 1,200 free fonts.

While you may want to hire a professional graphic designer for your main company logo, this can be a great way to make quick logos for campaigns or individual promotions. It can also help you get started if you simply don’t yet have a budget for your startup. This service is completely free.

Google Docs

Google Docs is a completely free online spreadsheets and document management tool that comes with your Gmail/Google Account. The spreadsheet feature (which doesn’t quite have all of the features of Excel) is particularly useful when you need to have multiple people working on the same spreadsheet at the same time (something you can’t do with Dropbox). It’s also very useful for collaborative editing of documents (including text files). There have been massive improvements to Google Docs in the last year (e.g. offline editing) and it looks like it will only get better in the coming years.
