That moment hit hard the first time I considered joining a mastermind — and saw the $25,000 price tag.

In this episode, I’m sharing the raw truth of investing in my very first mastermind: the doubts, the imposter syndrome, and the terrifying leap that turned into a $255,000 launch just six months later.

At the time, I had never invested in peer coaching or business education. I had built my company solo — no courses, no mentors, no community. But I knew something had to change.

What happened next challenged everything: my beliefs about money, my mindset around growth, and what’s actually possible when you're the least experienced person in the room.

If you've ever questioned whether masterminds are worth it, felt intimidated in high-level rooms, or wondered if you're ready to invest in yourself… this episode is your permission slip.

You're not underqualified. You’re just getting started.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:40] The definition of a mastermind — and how it reframes business growth

[02:02] Feeling under-qualified to join a high-level room of entrepreneurs

[03:32] The initial shock of a $25,000 price tag — and the debate that followed

[04:41] A simple mindset shift: What if the investment could be earned back?

[05:56] How proximity to brilliant minds led to a $255K launch in six months

[07:30] How cultural and financial background influences risk-taking in business

I’m joined by the Financial Feminist herself, Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100K. After graduating with degrees in communication and theater, Tori landed in a toxic corporate job she couldn’t afford to leave. That’s when everything shifted.

She realized money wasn’t about being rich — it was about having options.

So she set a bold goal: save $100,000 by age 25. What started with a $20 domain, three blog posts, and $49 coaching sessions at Starbucks eventually became a movement empowering women to take control of their finances.

But here’s the truth: the $100K wasn’t the win.

Freedom was.

In this conversation with Leila Hormozi, we go behind the curtain of rapid business growth — beyond revenue, beyond strategy — and into identity.

We talk about criticism, visibility, filtering yourself to avoid judgment, and what really happens when your business grows faster than your comfort zone.

From the outside, explosive growth can look like a highlight reel. From the inside? It can feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and even painful.

Leila shares why “the more you want to grow, the more you’re going to be in pain” — not because growth is bad, but because it demands an identity shift.

If you’re a 7-figure founder scaling higher… Hiring leaders for the first time… Outgrowing your old systems… Or white-knuckling your next level…

You’re not broken. You’re evolving.

This episode is your permission slip to embrace the stretch — and lead with honesty along the way.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:01] How to stop trying to “prove yourself” to the internet

[00:05] Why hyper-growth feels like pain—and what 2025 taught her about “unfamiliar territory”

[00:10] The moment health forced leadership evolution

[00:15] How “dangerously confident” content gets made when life is falling apart

[00:20] The self-care boundary that actually scales a company

[00:28] Her non-negotiable morning routine

It was humbling, heartbreaking, and taught me a core truth—if you don’t believe in yourself, nothing else matters.

Even with the support of loved ones, if you lack belief in your vision, your goals, or your ability to make it happen… your dreams will stall.

So what does belief really look like in business? It’s not about pretending everything’s fine or reciting affirmations in the mirror. It’s about choosing to lead with intention, not insecurity. It’s about seeing your future self clearly and making daily decisions that align with her.

This isn’t just mindset fluff—it’s a roadmap for making belief your business strategy.

What got you here won’t get you there.

This episode kicks off the 7-Figure Summit—a series born from the real conversations I had with powerhouse entrepreneurs who scaled past seven figures.

Inside, we’ll uncover:

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a business moment that broke my heart—one of my most anticipated classes flopped due to a major tech fail (thank you, AWS 😅). After weeks of preparation, thousands of registrations, and a heart-driven message I couldn’t wait to share… hardly anyone could access it.

It was devastating.

But it became a powerful lesson in letting go of control and focusing on what really matters: effort over outcome.

]]> Ever tried to woo a dream hire… and got rejected?

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I share how hiring a new executive for one of my companies turned into the business version of 90 Day Fiancé. 😅💼

You’ll hear:

  • Why I risked public rejection to share this
  • How I courted a former agency partner to lead our sales team
  • What I did when she turned me down (spoiler: I celebrated her)
  • Why I believe every “no” is just a “not right now”
  • And how I literally scouted talent… at church 👀

This isn’t a hiring tutorial—it’s a real look at trusting your gut, building your dream team, and staying open to magic in unexpected places.

[00:00] Why hiring feels like a business version of 90 Day Fiancé

[01:00] Why I debated sharing this episode (vulnerability + risk of rejection)

[02:00] How I approach “no” in business and why I reframe it as “not right now”

[03:00] The backstory of hiring a sales team—and the moment I clocked someone for a leadership role

[04:30] What happened when I reached out... and she already took another job

[05:50] The DM voice memo I sent anyway—and why celebrating others matters

[06:30] How I scout talent in everyday places (yes, including church)

]]> Jasmine Star Buzzsprout-17957339 Tue, 28 Oct 2025 04:00:00 -0400 2009 full false Why Fear Means You’re On the Right Path Why Fear Means You’re On the Right Path Can we get real for a second?

So many entrepreneurs are waiting to feel "ready." Waiting for the right gear, the right timing, the right confidence. But here's the thing… you’ll never have enough.

In this short but mighty episode, I’m sharing a powerful snippet from a past conversation with my friend Ken Coleman—also known as America’s Career Coach—and whew, it’s a gut check.

We talk about:

  • The myth that you need more experience, tools, or permission to start.
  • Why being uncomfortable is part of the assignment if you’re growing.
  • The real truth about imposter syndrome (spoiler: it never goes away).
  • And my personal “3 M’s” that I lean on when the fear tries to creep in.

This is a message for anyone who’s sitting on a dream because they’re afraid of being judged, failing publicly, or starting messy.

Let me remind you: people will always have an opinion—whether you sit on the couch or start that business, whether you win or fail. So if you’re going to be judged anyway, you might as well be judged while chasing your purpose.

Let’s normalize failing forward. Let’s normalize standing up after getting knocked down—again and again. Because the people you see “winning” didn’t avoid failure… they just kept getting up.

The next time fear whispers, “Who are you to do this?” I want you to flip it and ask, “Who am I not to?”

This episode is a short pep talk, a rally cry, and a reminder that your purpose doesn’t need permission.

Let’s stop waiting. Let’s start doing.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:36] Why we believe we need more than we actually do to start

[01:19] “You’ll never feel like enough”—what we must accept to grow

[01:52] People will always have opinions—do it anyway

[02:56] The truth about getting knocked down (and getting up again)

[03:43] The 3 M’s that helped me move past imposter syndrome

[04:24] Why your message, your medium, and you still matter

While traveling with Amy Porterfield, I had a powerful conversation in the TSA line with a woman named Diana—an aspiring founder who had an amazing idea but hadn’t taken the first step. She was asking about investors and funding, and before she could finish her sentence, I interrupted her with one phrase that changed everything: "You invest in your business before anyone else will."

Whether you’re 30 or 60, whether your idea is for a beauty brand, a coaching business, or a side hustle that lights you up—you don’t need perfection. You need proof of concept.

  • Why the “perfect time” is a myth
  • How to build trust in yourself when starting feels overwhelming
  • What proof of concept actually looks like
  • The difference between dreaming and doing

So if you’ve been thinking about starting something new, or you’re stuck in analysis paralysis, grab your headphones and let’s talk about the power of messy, scrappy, life-changing beginnings.

Same. But before you check out, I want to show you why building a personal brand might be the most profitable thing you do in business.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

  • What building a personal brand really means (hint: it's not about being an influencer)
  • The exact hires that helped me step into my CEO role
  • The journal entry I wrote after hiring a COO (yes, I’m sharing it 👀)
  • And how one messy Facebook post led me to my most powerful team member

Back in 2019, I was running multiple 7-figure offers, managing teams, building tech—and I was overwhelmed. I needed help, but I didn’t know where to start. So I under-hired on purpose, and it changed everything.

If you're juggling all the hats and feeling stretched too thin, this episode is for you.

Because your personal brand isn’t fluff—it’s a growth lever. And when you build the right team and let go of perfection, you can scale faster than ever.

Let’s dive in.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[01:00] Why personal branding isn’t just for influencers (and how it can add 7 figures in revenue).

[03:00] What I had to unlearn in order to scale my personal brand while running a business.

[04:00] How hiring an operator changed everything (plus my exact hiring process).

[05:30] A raw, emotional journal entry from the week I hired my COO.

[07:15] The Facebook post that led to the best hire of my life (yes, really).

[08:30] The truth about my messy backend systems (and why they were breaking me).

[10:45] Why under-hiring first can be strategic—and how I elevated my hire into a COO.

There have been times in my business when I wanted to burn it all down. Shut the laptop. Toss the planner. Delete the Instagram account. Sound familiar?

But what I’ve learned over and over (the hard way, of course) is this: You don’t pivot because you’re “over it.” You pivot because you’ve EARNED it.

Inside this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to pivot your business—and spoiler alert: it’s not just about following your gut or chasing a shiny new idea.

It’s about doing the WORK before the change.

This episode was inspired by a flash-fire Q&A I hosted on Instagram. And y’all did NOT hold back—question after question poured in about how to pivot, when to pivot, and what to do when you’re just plain tired of what you’ve been building.

So today, I’m walking you through the 5 key steps to earn the right to pivot your business:

  • Why consistency is the ultimate credibility-builder.
  • How to tell if you’ve truly put in the reps (or if you’re just tired).
  • What to do when you’ve operationalized everything... and it’s still not working.
  • How to pivot strategically, not emotionally.

I also share some tough love about the difference between changing direction because you're frustrated and changing direction because you've learned everything you can from your current path.

If you're at a crossroads in your business—debating whether to pivot, push through, or throw in the towel—this episode is your permission slip to get clear, focused, and real about what comes next.

Because let me tell you something, friend: you don’t pivot to escape the work—you pivot because you’ve DONE the work.

Now let’s do this together.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:02] How I use Instagram DMs to connect with YOU (and where this episode idea came from)

[00:58] The advice that changed everything: “You have to earn the right to pivot.”

[02:00] 5 ways to know if you’ve earned your pivot: from consistency to operationalization

[03:41] Why learning hard lessons is the secret ingredient to strategic change

[04:37] What a true pivot really means (and why “being over it” isn’t enough)

[06:27] Behind-the-scenes of my own pivot preparation—and how I lessened founder dependency

[09:00] What makes a pivot successful vs. what makes it a disguised escape

Or maybe just getting a full weekend without checking Slack, Asana, or inboxes that feel like they multiply overnight?

Friend, if that feels impossible... I want you to know: it's not. You just need better systems.

In this solo episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what actually allows businesses to scale beyond 7-figures: not magic, not hustle... but systems that work without you.

I’ve worked with business owners making $5M, $8M, and beyond—and you’d be shocked at how many of them are still stuck working in the weeds. And guess what? Most of them have one big thing in common: no solid systems.

Here's the truth: you have to earn the right to climb out of the work. And you earn it by building systems that empower your team to succeed without you micromanaging every detail.

In this episode, I answer real Instagram questions from fellow entrepreneurs (like Alex and Rachel) who are overwhelmed, overworked, and asking: “How do I get OUT of the day-to-day and INTO scaling?”

Together we break down:

  • The myth that systems are something you “do later”
  • Why creating SOPs isn't optional if you want to scale
  • How we use tools like Notion and Asana to make our systems airtight
  • My personal 4-step delegation framework I learned from Teresa Lowe
  • And YES—I even walk you through an actual SOP from my team

This isn’t just a pep talk. It’s a practical guide for how to stop being the bottleneck and start building a business that grows without burning you out.

You were never meant to build a business that feels like a burden.

Let’s change that—one system at a time.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:01] Why being overwhelmed is usually a systems problem (not a hustle problem) 

[00:52] The cost of not having systems: low profit, constant stress, and no scalability 

[02:44] Why there’s never a perfect time to start building systems [03:37] The hard truth: you must earn the right to delegate 

[05:24] The 4-Let Delegation Framework that changed everything 

[06:26] Behind the scenes: Our project management SOP process

That’s how I approach networking. It’s not about “getting in the room”—it’s about expanding the room so we can all win together.

In this episode of The Jasmine Star Show, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I’ve intentionally used Instagram to build real relationships with 8-figure founders—relationships that started with zero connections and zero expectations.

Here’s the deal: people are always asking me, “Jasmine, how did you get into that room? How did you build a network of powerful founders?” And today, I’m breaking it ALL down.

But I’m not giving you theory. I’m giving you the actual steps I used. Plus, I’m sharing two real-life examples of women I met on Instagram who are now part of my mastermind and personal network.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • The exact 4-step framework I use to build authentic relationships online (Follow. Study. Engage. Invite.)
  • How I built a connection with Shay Bacani, a powerhouse in the beauty and wellness funding space
  • Why story-driven engagement and real connection is more powerful than cold DMs
  • How to shift from being a fan to being a peer (this part is gold)

Whether you’re scaling to eight figures, seeking strategic partnerships, or just trying to connect with like-minded founders—you’ll walk away from this episode with a clear, simple roadmap to start building your dream network… one DM at a time.

And yes, I even read my actual DMs to Shay. (Spoiler alert: there’s nothing fancy—just intentional connection.)

It’s time to build a network that matches your ambition.

]]> When they win, I win. When I win, they win.

That’s how I approach networking. It’s not about “getting in the room”—it’s about expanding the room so we can all win together.

In this episode of The Jasmine Star Show, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I’ve intentionally used Instagram to build real relationships with 8-figure founders—relationships that started with zero connections and zero expectations.

Here’s the deal: people are always asking me, “Jasmine, how did you get into that room? How did you build a network of powerful founders?” And today, I’m breaking it ALL down.

But I’m not giving you theory. I’m giving you the actual steps I used. Plus, I’m sharing two real-life examples of women I met on Instagram who are now part of my mastermind and personal network.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • The exact 4-step framework I use to build authentic relationships online (Follow. Study. Engage. Invite.)
  • How I built a connection with Shay Bacani, a powerhouse in the beauty and wellness funding space
  • Why story-driven engagement and real connection is more powerful than cold DMs
  • How to shift from being a fan to being a peer (this part is gold)

Whether you’re scaling to eight figures, seeking strategic partnerships, or just trying to connect with like-minded founders—you’ll walk away from this episode with a clear, simple roadmap to start building your dream network… one DM at a time.

And yes, I even read my actual DMs to Shay. (Spoiler alert: there’s nothing fancy—just intentional connection.)

It’s time to build a network that matches your ambition.

Let’s get to work.

They happen when your feelings get hurt, your plans go sideways, and you say “yes” anyway.

In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how a last-minute trip to Nashville turned into one of the most impactful mastermind experiences of my year—all because I chose to show up, even when I felt excluded.

Here’s the tea: I wasn’t invited to a mastermind dinner I thought I’d be part of. And, like any human with a beating heart, I had a lot of feelings. I let myself sit in them. I reached out to my girl Amy Porterfield. And instead of letting the exclusion define me, I made a new story—and booked a plane ticket.

Spoiler: That trip led to a powerful mini mastermind with some of the most brilliant female entrepreneurs I know (Jenna Kutcher, Bonnie Christine, and more), and I walked away 1% better—and with 5 key takeaways you can apply to your business today.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why rest is just as productive as hustle
  • How to reframe moments of rejection
  • What “choosing a better story” looks like in action
  • The power of informal opportunities
  • How to squeeze value out of every experience (even the ones that don’t go as planned)

Whether you're navigating disappointment or wondering if it’s worth hopping on a plane last-minute, I hope this episode encourages you to trust the process and say yes to what could be next.

Because the truth is, the right rooms won't just open for you—they’ll find you when you're ready.

Girl, same.

But lucky for us, I’ve got a not-so-secret weapon: Katie Haahr.

In this shortie episode of The Jasmine Star Show, Katie—my brilliant right-hand and co-content creator at Social Curator—walks us through how we use AI (yep, ChatGPT!) to match our landing page design perfectly with the right words.

It’s not complicated. It’s not techy. It’s actually wildly simple and wildly effective.

Katie shares how she takes screenshots of our design templates, drags them into ChatGPT, adds our raw Google Doc copy, and prompts it to make the two work seamlessly together. Headers, bullet points, tone, structure—it all gets aligned in minutes instead of hours.

Here’s the deal: You don’t need to be an expert copywriter. You don’t need to stress over sentence length or character count anymore. You just need a screenshot, a prompt, and this 10-minute podcast.

So whether you're creating a new sales page, building a funnel, or trying to sound more polished (without hiring an agency), this one’s for you.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to pair design with copy using ChatGPT
  • The prompts Katie uses to “train” AI like a creative assistant
  • Why this saves HOURS on our marketing workflow
  • How we treat AI like a collaborator, not a replacement

Spoiler alert: AI isn’t going to replace your creativity. It’s going to amplify it.

Let’s write smarter, not harder.

💻 Ready to make your landing pages convert like crazy? Let’s go.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[01:33] How Katie uses AI to optimize copy for landing page templates.

[02:41] The exact ChatGPT prompt she uses (with screenshots!).

[03:27] What they used to do—and how this new method saves hours.

After only 20 years together (and nearly that long building businesses side-by-side!), I finally convinced JD to sit behind the mic and share his perspective on what it really looks like to be married to your business partner…and still like each other. 😂

We’re talking about:

How I roped JD into recording this episode (spoiler: a "finger shake" contract was involved!) What it's like to mix marriage and entrepreneurship for two decades The unglamorous but honest dynamics of decision-making, communication, and occasional eye-rolling How our relationship and business roles have evolved, especially after becoming parents The three words JD uses to describe me as a business partner AND a wife (grab tissues — this one got me right in the feels 🥹) This conversation is totally unscripted, a little messy, full of laughter, and packed with real talk about what it takes to not just build a thriving business — but a thriving marriage too.

If you’ve ever wondered how we navigate it all — from finger shakes to 10x dreams — this one’s for you.

Because here’s the truth: Building a business with someone you love is hard. Loving them through it all is even harder. But it’s also the most beautiful journey you can imagine.

[01:30] The story of the "finger shake" that sealed the deal

But that belief got flipped on its head the day I had a transformational conversation with entrepreneur and coach James Wedmore.

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful clip where James breaks down the real reason so many of us get stuck: we're building businesses with belief systems we picked up as students and employees—ones that no longer serve us.

We unpack:

  • Why failure is just feedback (not a flaw)
  • How to release identities that keep you small
  • What being “coachable” really means (this moment changed me)
  • How to rewire beliefs that are holding you back

Let me guess… your to-do list looks like a CVS receipt. You know what needs to get done, but you’re constantly asking yourself, “What should I do first?”

Friend, you’re not alone.

Whether you’re scaling past 7 figures or juggling multiple team members, the question I hear most often in my mastermind is: “I know what to do… but what’s the right order?”

So in this episode, I’m sharing something straight from a recent mastermind call I hosted with powerhouse women scaling their businesses to $5M, $7M, and beyond. (Spoiler alert: their struggles might sound very familiar.)

We talk about:

  • Why doing more isn’t the answer—you need a system
  • The difference between urgent and important (yep, there's a difference!)
  • My 3-tier decision-making hierarchy—think of it like a wedding cake but with more spreadsheets
  • Real examples from actual founders (with permission!) that will help you map this strategy to your own business

This framework has helped some of the most successful entrepreneurs I coach figure out exactly what to prioritize—without getting lost in the weeds.

If you’re tired of being stuck in the bottom tier of your business (read: putting out fires, managing details, being in 87 Slack channels at once), this episode is for you.

Let’s get you back to CEO mode.

🎯 Oh, and if you’re curious about what it’s like inside the mastermind or want to be on the waitlist for when doors open again, head to jasminestar.com/mastermind. I’d love to see your name there.

Click >>PLAY<< to hear all of this and:

[00:00] Why you’re not “behind” in business—and what every 7-figure founder feels but doesn’t say out loud

[00:57] The common pattern Jasmine noticed across multiple 7-figure businesses

[02:48] The three-tier hierarchy framework that helps you decide what to do next

[04:39] How to define your involvement at each tier—top-level strategy vs. bottom-level grunt work

[05:37] Real business examples from Gri and Abby (and how to apply this to your own list of initiatives)

[06:40] How to prioritize based on revenue, not urgency (and why that’s a CEO superpower)

This episode is that story. 🎥✨

What started as a spontaneous mention on a podcast turned into a one-minute pitch, a full-blown vlog, a custom merch drop, and a mission to prove that ideas only matter if you execute on them.

In this behind-the-scenes solo episode, I walk you through:

  • The messy middle of building something new—and not knowing how it’ll turn out
  • Why I created a 60-second video pitch for My First Million (and how I planned every frame)
  • How I chose a business to feature, crafted a story, and built a strategic hook
  • The mindset shift from perfection to experimentation
  • The logistical dance of vlogging, storytelling, and honoring someone else’s business
  • Why your million-dollar idea isn’t just the idea—it’s what you do with it

And yes… I even printed a custom sweater as part of the pitch. 🎁👕

This is one part content strategy, one part personal reinvention, and 100% proof that even if your idea doesn’t “work”—it can still move you forward.

I hope this inspires you to chase your idea too. Because if it matters to you, it's worth doing.

Click >>PLAY<< to hear all of this and:

[00:01] A Duffy boat, a divine idea, and a nudge from JD

[00:04] The inspiration from the My First Million podcast

[00:07] Creating a one-minute video for a 1-in-a-million chance

[00:10] The storytelling dilemma: who is this video really for?

[00:13] Nailing the voice of the story: execution over documentation

[00:16] Behind the scenes: choosing the business, logistics, and filming

[00:19] Why I created a custom sweater and a surprise landing page

[00:22] What makes this project meaningful—beyond the outcome

[00:25] Final reflections: what “just send it” really means to me

[00:27] The finished pitch: telling Mary’s story in 60 seconds

Find out more and join the waitlist here so you’re first to know when applications open: https://JasmineStar.com/mastermind <<

Let’s talk about the F-word… and no, not that one. I’m talking about Feast, Famine, Funnels, and Fatigue (okay, maybe that’s four F-words 😅).

In this solo episode, I’m bringing you into a raw, unfiltered conversation I had inside my mastermind for 7-figure founders. This isn’t a polished keynote. This is scrappy, honest truth-telling about why content is still king, why marketing is exhausting (and that’s normal), and what it really takes to stay relevant in a market that moves faster than ever.

We’re diving into:

  • Why content is your business moat and your growth multiplier
  • How the marketing game changes daily (and how to keep up)
  • What it means to lead a team without abdicating responsibility
  • The burnout that happens when you expect your team to be as hungry as you are
  • The behind-the-scenes of working with a corporate CMO trying to “think like a startup”
  • A crazy story of an $18M marketing budget slashed to $3M and what they did next
  • Why the best-performing ad had nothing to do with fancy production (spoiler: it was men's underwear and Canva)

If you’ve ever felt tired, unsure, or tempted to “set it and forget it” with your content or funnels… this episode is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

It’s gritty, it’s real, and it’s straight from the trenches of conversations I’m having with powerhouse entrepreneurs every single day.

Like you’re stuck in the daily grind, managing everyone and everything, and somehow still have no time to think big?

Been there. 🙋🏻‍♀️

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I hired my right hand: our Chief Operating Officer (COO)—and what that decision has meant for scaling our business beyond 7 figures.

It all started with a simple question Jade (now our COO) asked me:

“What would make you fire me?”

😳 Cue the mic drop.

And in that moment, I realized… if I couldn’t answer that, I wasn’t leading with clarity.

So we’re diving deep into:

  • How I knew it was time to hire an integrator
  • What role I hired for before calling her “COO” (hint: humility check)
  • The Harvard Business Review article that changed the way I viewed operational leadership
  • The one KPI I gave her (yes, one)—and why it works like magic
  • The real reason I trust her to lead even when I’m not looking
  • How we define success together, not just in numbers but in execution

Whether you’re a 7-figure founder looking to scale to 8, or you're dreaming of finding someone to help carry the load of building a big business with heart—this episode is your guide to making that vision a reality.

Spoiler alert: It’s less about resumes and more about trust, alignment, and execution.

Grab your notebook—you’ll want to jot this down.

[00:21] The unusual path I used to test and promote our COO

A Mindset Shift to Overcome Imposter Syndrome Have you ever looked around your business, your dream, your life and thought: “Who am I to be here?”

Yeah. Me too.

This episode is a raw, real, and honest repurposed interview from when I was a guest on the Go Getters Podcast with my southern soul sister, Kayse Morris. And we’re tackling something that every single entrepreneur deals with—Imposter Syndrome.

You know that voice—the one that says:

  • You’re not good enough.
  • Someone else is already doing it.
  • What if you fail?
  • Who do you think you are?

I’ve been there. And in this conversation, I share the exact mindset shift that helped me silence that voice and finally start moving forward with boldness.

Instead of asking, “Who am I to…?”

I began asking, “Who am I not to?”

Let that sit for a moment.

👆 That right there became my daily reminder: I was born for this.

Not because I had all the answers, funding, experience, or confidence.

But because I was willing to show up, learn as I went, and take action even when I was terrified.

You’ll also hear me share:

  • The weight of being a first-generation Latina entrepreneur
  • What it felt like to wear “imposter syndrome” like a varsity jacket
  • How being scared is actually a sign you’re doing something big
  • Why confidence isn’t a prerequisite—it’s a result of consistent action

If you’ve ever doubted yourself, this is your pep talk in podcast form.

Let’s throw off the jacket of fear, stop waiting for permission, and remind ourselves that we were made for more.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:59] Why imposter syndrome hits harder than we expect—and how to define it in a way that resonates.

[02:24] My "varsity jacket" analogy that perfectly illustrates how imposter syndrome lingers.

[03:19] The mindset shift that changed everything: “Who am I not to do this?”

[03:39] Does confidence come naturally? Jasmine sets the record straight (and shares her hilarious “lawyer from birth” story).

[05:10] Why being scared doesn’t mean you’re not ready—it means you’re doing something meaningful.

[06:50] My advice for entrepreneurs still waiting to feel “ready.”

It looks great on paper, it’s in alignment with your goals, the money is forecasted, the deliverables are clear, and you’ve even mentally committed to it… but something inside you says, “This isn’t it.”

That happened to me recently, and in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the decision I made to walk away from a highly aligned opportunity—and why.

Let me be clear: this wasn’t just any opportunity. It was one we’d already factored into our 2025 revenue plan. It was a perfect fit on paper, and I’d been expecting (and prepping for) the call for months.

But here’s the thing… when it came time to sign the dotted line, I couldn’t do it.

It made no logical sense. And my COO? She was stunned.

But as I explain in this episode, I believe our bodies are pattern-spotting machines. And sometimes what we call “intuition” is actually our brain detecting something off—even when we can’t articulate why.

So here’s what I did: I sat with that feeling, but I didn’t stop there. I forced myself to go find the facts to justify the feelings.

Because while I don’t believe in building a business on emotion, I do believe in using intuition as a prompt—and then using data to make a final decision.

Inside this episode, I’ll walk you through:

  • The opportunity I turned down and why it was so hard to say no
  • The process I use to reverse-engineer my intuition into facts
  • How I define “productive vs. busy” in my daily work life
  • Why trusting yourself is the best business strategy you’ll ever invest in

If you’ve ever felt torn between logic and gut instinct—or wondered how to tell when an opportunity is right—this episode is for you.

Your goals don’t require you to say yes to everything.

Sometimes the most strategic move is walking away.

Click >>PLAY<< to hear all of this and:

[00:01] Why I turned down a forecasted, on-brand, high-revenue opportunity

[03:00] The conflict between logic and intuition—and how I handle it in business

[05:15] What intuition really is (spoiler: it’s your brain spotting patterns)

[06:45] The moment I knew something was “off” and how I investigated it

[08:30] How I flipped my gut instinct into data to justify my decision

In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I learned from a high-level business mentorship conversation about how companies intentionally model themselves after “cult brands.” We’re breaking down what makes a brand cult-like (in the best way possible), and how YOU can infuse these characteristics into your business—no matter your size.

I studied this so YOU don’t have to spend months digging through corporate case studies. I’m distilling data from companies like Snapple, Rolling Rock, Pete’s Coffee, and more to show what small business owners like us can actually do to foster that same die-hard loyalty.

No, you don’t need a billion-dollar ad budget. You just need intention, clarity, and the guts to be bold in your branding.

We’re not out here trying to be everyone’s cup of tea. We’re building something magnetic that resonates so deeply, people proudly wear it (literally or figuratively) on their sleeve.

So if you want your audience to become voluntary advocates—cheering you on, sharing your work, and staying loyal for life—this episode is for you.

Let’s build that cult energy... minus the creepy robes. 😉

Click PLAY to hear all of this and:

[00:01] Why your business needs a cult-like following (yes, really)

[00:03] The Pete’s Coffee case study: how a regional favorite went national

[00:05] 3 sources of research that inspired this episode

[00:07] Trait #1: Define a bigger purpose + a consistent core narrative

[00:10] Trait #2: How to showcase values through storytelling

[00:13] Trait #3: Create symbolic artifacts + shared rituals

[00:16] Trait #4: Build exclusivity + a sense of belonging

Entrepreneurship is hard. And sometimes, it’s lonely.

In this raw and honest conversation, Amy Porterfield and I sat down to talk about something most business owners don’t share publicly: depression.

✨ The shame and stigma around depression in entrepreneurship

✨ How I first realized I needed help (and why I resisted it)

✨ The mindset shifts and tools that changed the game for both of us

✨ Why talking about mental health makes you a stronger leader

✅ How to dazzle your leads (and why that’s essential for conversion)

This time, I’m bringing you along on my recent business planning retreat in the breathtaking Park City, Utah. And let me tell you, it wasn’t just about setting big goals—it was about merging personal aspirations with professional dreams in a way that feels authentic and doable.

From building snowmen with my family to hashing out bold strategies with my team, I’ll share the lessons, frameworks, and honest conversations that have reshaped how I approach yearly planning as a founder, a leader, and (let’s be real) someone still figuring it all out.

In this episode, we’re getting down to business—literally. I’m pulling back the curtain on the secrets to creating a digital offer that doesn’t just sell…but sells BIG.

Because here’s what I know: Anyone can make money online with just two things: a truly irresistible offer and a proven, repeatable plan to sell it.

And the best part? You don’t need special skills or a huge following to make it happen.

I’ll show you how to create an offer that’s so good, people can’t wait to hand you their credit card. Then I’ll teach you how to use my Repeatable Revenue Plan to sell it over and over again—predictably, consistently, and with way less stress.

  • 🎯 What makes an offer irresistible: You already have the knowledge to create something people want. Now I’ll show you how to package it in a way that solves their key problems and feels like a no-brainer purchase.
  • 🔁 The Repeatable Revenue Plan: My step-by-step framework that has generated over $23 million in sales (and counting!). You’ll learn how to set it up once and use it again and again for consistent results.
  • 💡 What really makes people buy: Why urgency is the ultimate sales secret, and how to use bonuses, discounts, and deadlines to inspire action.

(00:38:28) Why we tend to resist change when it comes to new technologies and how to embrace it instead.

(00:43:27) The importance of in-person interactions and events in building relationships.

(00:48:20) The ripple effects of charitable actions and the importance of inspiring others to replicate similar initiatives.

When I get obsessed with something, I start to see a new level of results. But I have to fully immerse myself into that ONE thing and give it my all.

You see, being obsessed helps you narrow down your focus and allows you to dedicate more mental energy (and time) to make quicker progress.

(00:08:04) The absolute BEST way to network.

(00:29:44) The emotional rollercoaster I went on and how it ended.

(00:34:11) How I started finding a balance between work and relaxation.

How big? Well, I’m so glad you asked.

Think of it this way: research shows that, while most businesses make sales to anywhere between 5-20% of NEW customers, they close deals with 60-70% of EXISTING customers.

This means your likelihood of making a sale is doubled when targeting existing customers compared to acquiring new ones.

This is why your Customer Lifetime Value is so important to figure out and I’m literally giving you the formula to compute it. (It quite possibly may be my favorite math equation to date!)

This is why your Customer Lifetime Value is so important to figure out and I’m literally giving you the formula to compute it. (It quite possibly may be my favorite math equation to date!)

In this episode, you’ll learn my four-step framework for calculating LTV and my five favorite strategies to boost it.

Allow me to explain: when you approach a puzzle, you typically start by identifying the corners or edges.

Once you have your corners in place, you begin filling in the pieces, one by one. Each piece represents a small step or task that contributes to the larger picture.

Well, in life, progress is made by breaking down big goals into manageable tasks and tackling them one at a time. By focusing on completing one piece at a time (and not the whole picture), you gradually build momentum and move closer to your goal.

This was one of the many (MANY!) takeaways from recording this episode with my new friend Sahil Bloom, and of course, my temporary co-host Jen Gottlieb.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to make small changes that lead to BIG transformations, and what to do if you want to change your whole life… in just one year.

Here’s the thing: I know (I know, I know) that making business moves before you feel ready FEELS very counterintuitive… and that’s why few people do it. But it’s necessary.

And one of my favorite examples of this is Jason Phillips, CEO and founder of the Nutritional Coaching Institute.

When he started his business, he didn't wait for the perfect moment or until he felt completely prepared. Instead, he took action. He launched his coaching program, refined it through trial and error, and adapted based on feedback.

Spoiler alert: He actually just decided to shut down a $6M revenue stream in his business.

In this episode, you’ll learn the beliefs Jason holds to be (extremely) successful, how he overcomes obstacles, and the strategy Jason is using to create his new offer.

This is precisely the situation Hala Taha, LinkedIn, and Podcast Expert, found herself in when she was let go from her Hip Hop show on Hot 97, and shortly after, her MTV show was canceled. But, because Hala persevered, she’s built a successful podcast and a profitable agency.

And lemme tell you, every olympic level athlete has one thing in common… they’ve had WAY more failures than championships and they kept going.

And that’s what it takes for us as business owners. If you’ve launched a product or service and you didn’t get the results you wanted (no scratch that, DESERVE!) this episode is for you.

Click play to hear all about…

[00:00:14] The assumption I made about the 6 & 7-figure business owners who attended my mastermind (I was wrong!)

[00:02:21] The conversation I had with venture-backed capitalists that led to an aha moment.

[00:04:18] Three frameworks for you to NOT self-sabotage your future launch.

[00:06:18] How to assess and make improvements for future launches.

[00:09:53] The mindset to have around launches and how to learn and move forward from the failed ones.

[00:10:40] What it takes to play at an Olympic athlete level in your field.

[00:13:43] The embarrassing moment I had when attending my first mastermind (and how I met my amazing friend, Amy Porterfield).

[00:18:52] How I stopped trading hours for dollars and created time freedom.

[00:20:57] The experience of having to learn and do everything yourself before being able to hire help and delegate tasks.

[00:22:45] How making small changes can lead to fast results.

[00:23:41] Jasmine emphasizes the need to put in silent, dark, and cold work like an athlete before deserving success and holding the trophy.

It all started in 2016, I realized my income was limited with photography and I needed to diversify my income…

So, I created my first digital offer, “Insta 180”.  It was an online store for photography resources like educational PDFs, templates, and short video tutorials. It was something I knew was a definite need in the photography industry.

And I’ll tell you what, hand to heaven, that digital offer transformed my entire business, no scratch that, it transformed my entire life.

You deserve this, too. Freedom, money, sustainable success - I believe a digital offer is what can get you there in the shortest amount of time.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to decide on an offer that works for your business, my five-step framework for planning your offer, and how to determine a price point.

Not only did I have the pleasure of sitting down with my dear friend and fellow entrepreneur, Lori Harder, I also had the privilege of introducing her as my co-host in a series of upcoming episodes. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be dropping new episodes with several other powerhouse female entrepreneurs that I can’t wait for you to hear.

Lori and I first met at a mastermind event hosted by Lewis Howes. Lori, with her kindness and brilliance, quickly became a close friend and a source of inspiration for me.

She emphasizes the importance of building a network and being in rooms that stretch you. One of the best pieces of advice she gives when you’re nervous about networking and possibly feeling intimidated by the room you’re in is: “It's about how you can serve others, not what you can get from them.” With this mindset shift, you can completely reframe the interactions you’ll have and walk away with so much more.

Lori candidly shared her struggles of starting a company from the ground-up during the height of the pandemic. Not only does she walk through her journey to raise over $2 million (having NEVER fund raised prior), she shows us how to embrace doing it messy and not letting lack of experience or knowledge stop you from taking action.

Sidenote: you’ll DEFINITELY want to listen in to learn about Lori’s “Freedom Phrases,” which are the BEST way to handle answering questions that you don’t know the answer to!

She shares her lowest of low moments along her journey when things seemed to be failing left and right and she had to make “the best worst decision.”

She felt immense pressure to not disappoint her investors and was fearful of disappointing them, but knew she couldn’t continue on the same path and had to make BIG changes.

If you find yourself in a similar situation to Lori being paralyzed by the fear of disappointing others after they’ve shown belief and support in you, be sure to tune in to this episode for tips and encouragement on moving forward and making hard decisions.

Key Moments

6:14 - Three questions to help you figure out what’s next for you and your business.

10:41 - Tips for networking in a room of people that intimidate you with their knowledge and achievements.

13:33 - Lori’s simple hack when you don’t know the answer to questions you’re asked.

15:00 - How Lori successfully raised $1 million in a year by specifically targeting women investors and hand-picking strategic guests for her podcast, leading to referrals and further investments.

27:57 - Lori’s moment of realization and how she decided to pivot her business.

We knew very quickly it wasn’t going to work.

We’ve hosted very successful challenges in the past, but this time we did things differently (without testing it…*sigh*). And as a result, we confused our challenge participants.

I was embarrassed, hurt, and extremely upset at myself for not testing it beforehand. (I’m feeling this way now just thinking about it!)

It was an expensive lesson to learn… But dang it, I’m so much stronger, smarter, and better for it.

But I must say, I’m only better for it because I reflected, took responsibility, and applied the lessons.

It’s important to me that you’re able to grow from the failures you experience in business too. In this episode, I’m sharing with you how to recognize four types of business failures AND my four-part framework for turning those failures into lessons.

[00:05:23] How I’ve taught myself to reframe (even my most gut-punching and soul-sucking) failures into lessons.

[00:09:02] How to use failures to help push you to think outside the box and come up with new solutions.

[00:09:02] How to improve your self-awareness to understand yourself better and build stronger relationships in business.

[00:12:53] How failures can help you grow by understanding your strengths and weaknesses.

[00:19:50] The four types of failures in business and the lessons to extract from each one.

[00:37:50] Why you need to take responsibility for your failures (and not shame or blame others).

[00:38:51] The process of dissecting failures to understand the underlying factors and patterns that contributed to them.

The opportunity to rediscover who I am and what kind of business I want to have.


And this started because of something my team said… “Let us run the operations”. 


You see, the business had reached a point where we had a strong team in place, and they generously offered to handle the day-to-day, giving me the freedom to focus on casting the vision for Social Curator and deciding our next moves.


After making what felt like a “selfish decision” and releasing the things I thought only I could do, I started realizing how powerful the team was and how ready and willing they were to take the ball and run it down the field. 


I had the opportunity to talk about this process in detail with Jen Kamara on her podcast, The Jennifer Kamara Podcast. 


In fact, Jen asked me “Who is Jasmine Star, today?” and that led to an entire conversation on rediscovery, taking risks, making “selfish” decisions, and prioritizing both work and family. I loved it - and I hope you do, too.

‘Couldn’t you have avoided this? I'm sure you could have avoided this.’


‘Why couldn't you see this coming six months ago?’


I came across these words I journaled last year and cringed. Now that I’m in a place where I’m able to reflect without being so self-critical, I realize that I did do the best I could with what I had and what I knew at the time.

The thing is… in business, the unexpected is inevitable. 

But if I could go back in time, I would have reacted to the unexpected differently.

In this episode, I’m sharing the four-part framework of what to do when the unexpected happens that I’ve developed since I wrote those words in my journal. I originally shared it with our Social Curator Community and it struck such a chord, I knew I had to share it with you.   

Click play to hear my four-part framework of what to do when the unexpected happens and…

[00:02:09] The words JD (my husband and business partner) told me 365 days ago that ended up being true, even though I didn’t want to believe them then.

[00:05:21] What motivates and inspires me when I’m facing unexpected challenges.

[00:06:21] The importance of being kind to yourself when facing setbacks.

[00:09:40] How to allow yourself to feel emotions and move through them.

[00:10:36] Why you must have a clear vision for your life and business.

[00:11:37] The value of being surrounded by like-minded people who are in similar seasons of business as you. 


If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love to invite you to a free 14-day trial of Social Curator, where thousands of business owners come together for mindset moments like this, group coaching and weekly training, and marketing plans to take your social media to the next level.

If so, I feel you. The online space can feel…well, crowded.


But, I often hear entrepreneurs say the reason they aren’t getting the results they WANT and DESERVE is because of the over-saturation in their industry…


And I don’t think that’s the case. So, what is?


Business owners don’t know how to identify the deepest needs and desires of their ideal clients - the things their ideal client REALLY wants, but might not even know how to express. 


As a result… 


Business owners are stuck talking about the same ol’ surface-level problem that everyone else in their industry is talking about. They blend in (rather than stand out), because they don’t know how to dig deeper and find the core problem.

But don’t fear, my friend - today I’m sharing my step-by-step process of figuring out exactly what your ideal client really wants and desires and spilling the tea on how to create or revise your offer so it speaks directly to these needs. When you’re done listening, you’ll be well on your way to standing out in your industry and serving the people who need you most.

These are some of the questions I’ve been asking myself lately… but it took me a long time to even know to ask these questions. (Like years and years!)

Why? These are questions you learn to ask when you know you’re in the stability phase of a business project. (More on that phase in this episode!).

You see, I had to learn to ask different types of questions in distinct phases of my business (or distinct phases of a business project) in order to grow and take effective action.

Why am I telling you this? Because I learned that the mindset I needed to embrace and the actions I needed in each phase are totally different (and lead to different results).

In other words: my growth was stymied until I learned WHAT phase I was in and WHAT types of questions to ask.

JD (my husband and business partner) said these words to me a few weeks ago.

I immediately replied, “No. I need to work more. I need to do more.” (Can you relate?)

It was while recording this podcast series with my co-host Marcus Murphy, I realized it wasn’t the work that was keeping me from stepping away, it was the pressure of coming back and people asking what I was going to do/accomplish/create/build next.

That’s right, the expectations of returning kept me from taking time away to just…be.

(Spoiler alert: I ended up taking the break.. AND, I put up parameters and said, “I'm taking a break without expectation and I need to do this for myself.”)

Back in college, I served tables at a steak and rib house and lemme tell you: I could rack up a receipt.

Oh, I could not only sell you on the best steak, but I could have you upsize it, add on a loaded baked potato, and convince you that you couldn’t leave without trying the famous banana cream pie, served in a mason jar. 

I knew exactly what to say, exactly how to convince you that the loaded baked potato would uplevel your entire meal, and exactly how to tell you to use the leftovers the next day so you felt like you were getting at least two meals out of one.

I was so good that I was employee of the month for the entire organization of steak and rib houses - not just the place where I worked.

But here’s the thing: I was (and still am) a vegetarian. I never once tasted the steak.

I’ll text my sister this whenever it feels like nothing in life or business is going as planned.


Let me explain.


When we were in high school, Bianca, my twin sister, decided she was going to run the 300-meter dash with hurdles. After clearing the first three hurdles with ease, Bianca broke the number one rule from Coach Julia which was looking over at her opponents. Bianca then lost her cadence and fell over hurdles 4-10 in front of hundreds of people, but she got back up and still limped to the finish line with bloody shins.


I met her there to tell her how proud of her I was for not quitting… oh, and her response, you ask?


She looked at me, stopped crying, and said, “Wait a minute, I could have quit?”


She didn’t know that quitting was an option… so she didn’t quit. (Think about that for a moment.)


Even though Bianca and I aren’t technically identical, our upbringings were pretty darn close.


And one thing that we definitely share is our desire to help others remain resilient. 


We believe resilience is a choice that we make every single day (sometimes multiple times a day!), and you’d better BELIEVE we have stories to prove it. 


I invited Bianca to come on this episode to share some of the lessons that we learned growing up together (in fact, we learned so many that she just released a brand new book about them: “Grit Don’t Quit”).


Click play to hear all of this and…

[00:03:45] The origins of our (Bianca and my) resilience and grit, and how it shaped our lives.

[00:08:15] Our experiences running track in high school, including Bianca's resilience while running hurdles where she fell multiple times but didn't quit.

[00:13:50] The moment when I realized quitting was an option and the societal privilege of being able to quit.

[00:17:17] The five key questions to ask yourself before deciding to quit, including whether the season is done and if you feel released from the situation.

[00:20:15] How to remain resilient when wanting to quit and the importance of choosing to persevere in the face of challenges.

[00:24:18] The significance of resilience not just for ourselves, but for paving the way for future generations and inspiring others to keep going.

[00:28:58] The importance of practicing gratitude and how it can help overcome failure and exhaustion.

[00:30:49] The importance of learning from failures and embracing them as opportunities for growth.

The content may be triggering for some listeners. If you or someone you know is currently struggling with these feelings, we encourage you to seek support from a mental health professional or call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988 in the United States. Listener discretion is advised and I hope you realize how much that YOU MATTER.

Have you ever wondered what exactly makes a great work culture?

There’s obviously a few factors, but here’s a big one: helping employees find purpose in their roles. When employees feel a sense of purpose at work and in what they do, they are more engaged, motivated, and fulfilled, leading to increased productivity and overall satisfaction.

But how do you do that? 

In this episode, Marcus Murphy (my co-host for the next few weeks) and I interviewed Matthew Emerzian, founder and CEO of Every Monday Matters, a non-profit organization that has impacted millions of lives by providing tools, training, and resources to help everyone (especially leaders) learn how to help others realize how much they matter.

As you listen to this episode, you’ll learn not only HOW to show others they matter, but you’ll also hear Matthew’s powerful story of his mental journey and the self-transformation he experienced by way of serving others. 

[00:04:27] Matthew’s motivation for building his personal brand after years of working behind the scenes for his nonprofit organization.

[00:07:42] The common mistakes of LinkedIn messages.

[00:09:57] Matthew’s journey from working in the music industry to becoming a band manager.

[00:21:34] How self-transformation leads to social transformation and the impact of influential people in bringing a message of purpose and fulfillment.

[00:22:34] How to create a culture that values and supports employees, and the responsibility of individuals to be the change they want to see.

[00:24:21] The importance of mental health and well-being in the workplace, and the need for organizations to prioritize the well-being of their employees.

[00:29:00] The practical and strategic approach to culture change, starting with understanding pain points and creating a tactical plan.

He is the bestselling author of four books, a highly sought-after keynote speaker, having taken the stage for Zoom, Google, Outreach, HP, Jack in the Box, Chili’s, Genentech, Amgen, and more, and his work has been hailed by Oprah.com, The Today Show, Fast Company, and several other media outlets. He is also the founder and CEO of Every Monday Matters (EMM), a non-profit organization that has impacted millions of lives.  After achieving great success in the music industry as the SVP of Robert Kardashian’s music marketing company and working on projects for the biggest artists in the world, including U2, Avril Lavigne, Coldplay, and more, Matt woke up on a Monday morning with a massive panic attack that turned into chronic anxiety and depression. Realizing everything he thought mattered actually didn’t, he set out on a journey to rediscover his life’s purpose and why he matters. Matt realized that mattering is at the heart of everything and developed The Mattering Mindset™— a methodology that has transformed countless lives, organizations, and communities.

I’m guessing that you feel one of two ways. 

  1. Overwhelmed thinking about pouring money into something that may not pay off.
  2. Liberated at the thought of marketing passively to the right people.

And either way is completely valid! 

There are numerous approaches to business and content creation and you have to choose what works best for you and YOUR business. This is why Marcus Murphy (my podcast co-host for the next few weeks) and I invited marketing guru Billy Gene on the show to share his methodology on strategic marketing (which is completely different from mine!)

In this episode, Billy shares his step-by-step strategy of creating high-quality content pieces and strategically turning them into paid ads to reach a larger audience. 

And the best part? Even if you’ve never ran paid ads before, Billy breaks down exactly what he would do if he were new to ads. (Thanks Billy!)

But Billy doesn’t stop there. He also shares about the importance of setting boundaries and saying no to opportunities that don't align with his vision. (In fact, he’s a MASTER at this…he turns down $50,000 speaking opportunities if it doesn’t feel in alignment with them!).

Yes, as in, I'd iron my dollars because I wanted them crisp and new. 

Then I would neatly fold them and keep them in a tin can BandAid container in my mom's closet under a pile of laundry that - despite her best efforts - just would never (ever) get folded. 

To say I was fascinated with money would be an understatement. Money wasn't something we had in my family, so whenever I got it, I hid it. Looking back, I now realize that hiding money made me feel safe.

Can you relate?

It’s taken a lot of continuous work around money for me to be at the place I am today - a place where I know my numbers, feel empowered to make investment decisions and feel capable of handling unexpected financial hurdles.

(And If I can change my mindset around money, that means you can too.)

In this episode, I’m highlighting eight mindset shifts that I have made over the years, including rewriting my money story, identifying limiting beliefs, reframing past experiences, and taking ownership of my finances - so that you can do this work too.

Because the truth is when you start believing in abundance, recognizing your value, and effectively communicating and marketing your worth - you show up differently. 

So what do you say? Ready to do this work? If so, press play to hear all of this and…

[00:02:00] How to shift your mindset around money by becoming aware of limiting beliefs.

[00:04:53] How to recognize and challenge beliefs that hinder business growth and replace them with empowering beliefs.

[00:07:43] The importance of creating and writing down a new financial reality.

[00:09:33] Why you need to acknowledge and analyze financial data and how I visualize my future success. 

[00:10:21] How to track and analyze financial data regularly and conduct regular financial audits.

[00:12:32] The power of shifting to the mindset of abundance and how money in the hands of small business owners can benefit society. 

[00:13:27] A conversation I had with Gary Vaynerchuk that inspired me to believe in abundance and the importance of supporting other entrepreneurs.

[00:19:32] How to define your differentiating factor and effectively communicate it to stand out in oversaturated industries.

[00:23:23] The importance of embracing growth, having trust in investments, and making confident decisions before making large investments in your business.

[00:30:14] How to overcome avoidance and take ownership of finances by looking at numbers and taking control of the financial side of your business.

Crithicca, co-host of the Motiversity podcast, recently asked me this question. 


My response was instantaneous: “Every single week.”


You see, every single week I have my fair share of doubts… the nights of questioning what the heck I’m even doing.  


But here’s what I’ve learned: the doubt and the challenges don’t go away… we just get more resilient the longer we keep going. 


It’s like going to the gym, right? The weights don’t get lighter, we just get stronger. 


When I was asked by Joel (the other co-host of the Motiversity podcast) what I thought led to my success in business, I told him that I believed it was a combination of two main things. 


First, building trust by years of freely serving my audience, and second, the promise, value, and timing of my offer (Social Curator).


But success rarely comes from just one or two things… It also comes from things like learning to overcome the fear of rejection, knowing which questions to ask to get results, and staying disciplined with daily habits in order to maximize productivity.


We discussed these things in detail in this episode, so click play to hear all of this and:

[00:00:56] My personal story–and how being a daughter of an immigrant, dropping out of law school, and my mother's illness shaped me into who I am today.

[00:02:24] Why I decided to become a photographer and how I started my own business.

[00:03:30] How I transitioned from being a photographer to becoming a consultant and creating online courses.

[00:08:30] The moments that motivated me to pursue my dreams despite feeling unqualified.

[00:09:36] The difficulties I faced in launching Social Curator.

[00:13:45] My mission to build a profitable business while empowering others and what keeps me going.

[00:17:24] The growth of the creator economy and how Social Curator helps people get started with marketing their business on social media.

[00:20:41] My personal journey of overcoming doubt and taking small steps toward empowerment in my photography career.

[00:26:40] The mindset I had in my 20s and how I wished I had taken more risks and been unattached to the outcome.

[00:29:46] The advice I received from a photographer about taking risks and jumping in, even when there is no net.

[00:31:36] The importance of falling and getting back up as an entrepreneur and how failure is a normal part of the process.

[00:36:32] The significance of identifying and targeting a specific audience for effective marketing and business growth.

[00:44:14] How my husband inspires me with his intentional approach to success and his ability to find success in any situation.

Have you ever asked yourself questions like this when experiencing low conversion rates, stagnant sales, or when business was just…tough?


In this episode, I share about a time when a launch was feeling disastrous. We spent tens of thousands of dollars on ads…and halfway through the launch, the sales were abysmal. I made a million mistakes. I felt humiliated, and worse, I was panicked. I kept on telling myself that I wasn't ready (or destined) to sell a two-thousand-dollar offer. 


But during a conversation with my mentor, he helped me remember who I was…a fighter. So, I fought. Every day for the rest of the launch, I went live, sent personalized videos, and sent well over a thousand messages. I didn’t care what it took. For the last three days, I fought.


We ended up closing that launch with $355,000 in sales. 


In this episode, I’m sharing more about how I  turned that disaster into a profitable launch and offering a few tangible tips to help you develop belief, gain confidence, leverage persuasion, and sell the transformation of your own products or services. 


Press play to hear all of this and….


[00:01:22] My experience of launching a $2,000 course and the initial disaster I faced.

]]> Is it me? Am I the problem? 


Have you ever asked yourself questions like this when experiencing low conversion rates, stagnant sales, or when business was just…tough?


In this episode, I share about a time when a launch was feeling disastrous. We spent tens of thousands of dollars on ads…and halfway through the launch, the sales were abysmal. I made a million mistakes. I felt humiliated, and worse, I was panicked. I kept on telling myself that I wasn't ready (or destined) to sell a two-thousand-dollar offer. 


But during a conversation with my mentor, he helped me remember who I was…a fighter. So, I fought. Every day for the rest of the launch, I went live, sent personalized videos, and sent well over a thousand messages. I didn’t care what it took. For the last three days, I fought.


We ended up closing that launch with $355,000 in sales. 


In this episode, I’m sharing more about how I  turned that disaster into a profitable launch and offering a few tangible tips to help you develop belief, gain confidence, leverage persuasion, and sell the transformation of your own products or services. 


Press play to hear all of this and….


[00:01:22] My experience of launching a $2,000 course and the initial disaster I faced.

[00:05:03] The importance of belief and confidence in selling, and the three psychological strategies to shift one's approach to selling.

[00:09:25] How to use the FBI method to highlight the feature, benefit, and impact of a service for a service-based business.

[00:10:36] How to use the FBI method to highlight the feature, benefit, and impact of a product for a product-based business.

[00:11:38] The importance of selling the transformation and how it can impact the decision-making process of potential customers.

In this episode (that originally aired on The CLS Experience with Craig Siegel), we didn’t shy away from the hard stuff. Craig and I discussed perfectionism, taking uncomfortable action, practicing self-forgiveness, and navigating tough conversations, which are all inevitable in the entrepreneurial journey (or any journey worth embarking on).


As you may know, in 2020, I became a mother and adopted my baby girl, Luna. One of my biggest regrets was being impatient, not trusting the journey, and not having faith that the perfect baby girl was waiting for me. 


What was the lesson here?


You must trust (and find joy) in the journey in order to stay resilient, knowing that every step forward, no matter how challenging, brings you closer to your success and fulfillment.


You can spend your life thinking that something isn’t even a possibility. But the truth is, everything is figureoutable, and it was believing that the impossible was possible that changed my life. 


How did it change my life, you ask?


When I began to believe that anything was possible, I allowed myself to take messy (and sometimes scrappy) action. I spent countless hours on YouTube and Google to get to where I am today in business. (I basically got my MBA from Google University.) 


But I must say, entrepreneurship is the school of hard knocks. The lessons, successes, and results come from taking ACTION. 


With action come many mistakes and failures, but a failure is only a failure if you don’t learn from it (this is where forgiveness comes in).


Craig and I also discussed how we extend grace as we handle negative conversations on social media and navigate tough conversations in business. 


Click play to hear all of this and: 


[00:04:21] The importance of uncomfortable action for personal growth and success


[00:13:54] My three-part framework for handling negative comments on the internet


[00:26:23] My experience with the adoption process and how it helped me reframe rejection as redirection.


[00:41:24] Why lack of qualifications shouldn’t stop you from pursuing your dreams.


[00:49:01] My company's induction program and how it includes check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days to assess the progress and fit of new hires.


[00:50:33] How to reframe tough conversations as just regular conversations and the importance of having them.


[00:51:18] Exploring the concept of the story we tell ourselves and how it can affect our relationships and communication.

His mission is to elevate your state and get you on absolute FIRE for life! On his podcast The CLS Experience, you’ll hear from people who overcame struggles on their journey to achieving massive success in different facets of life.

Brain fog can lead to forgetfulness, fatigue, and a lack of productivity, which can be detrimental to entrepreneurs. 

What causes brain fog, you ask?

In this episode, Tanessa Shears, Health Consultant for high-achieving entrepreneurs, explains that brain fog is caused by insulin levels, hormone imbalances, and blood sugar stability, which can all be affected by ineffective or inadequate sleep. 

And let’s be honest, as entrepreneurs, it’s easy to work late nights and to compromise sleep for extra hustle time or to finally get in some “me time.”

How do we improve sleep?

Tanessa graciously gives us actionable tips in this episode, including monitoring light intake, considering the timing of meals, and identifying if the activities before bed are promoting restful sleep.

Tanessa also suggests strategies that will help you feel energized in the morning and kickstart your circadian rhythm (hint: she suggests taking a cold shower… !!) 


What is the circadian rhythm? 


The circadian rhythm is the physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle. These natural processes respond primarily to light and dark and affect most living things, including animals, plants, and microbes. When you're more aligned with your circadian rhythm, you can identify which parts of the day you’re going to be the most productive and alert and can plan your day for success.


Tanessa also helps us identify when we should be scheduling extra rest time and giving ourselves grace for staying in bed longer. 


If you’re ready to feel better AND get more done, click play to hear more about…

[00:02:41] The explanation of brain fog and how it impacts an entrepreneur's productivity and creativity.

[00:06:50] How overcoming brain fog led to financial independence for Tanessa and the ability to pursue other passions.

[00:09:19] The importance of sleep as the foundation of health and how it affects an entrepreneur's productivity, mood, and overall health.

[00:13:24] How circadian rhythm affects the body's 24-hour clock and tips on how to optimize it.

[00:07:52] How brain fog can impact an entrepreneur's productivity and creativity. 

[00:15:33] How monitoring lighting and eating habits can improve sleep quality.

[00:20:49] How the belief that less sleep equals more productivity and the need for “me time” can hinder personal and professional breakthroughs.

[00:23:53] The importance of identifying activities that give peace, joy, and refreshment and how to incorporate them into daily routines.

[00:25:43] Strategies for protecting the sleep you are getting including using light exposure in the morning and getting outside for at least ten minutes.

[00:30:11] Two ways to increase body temperature in the morning: moving your body and taking a cold shower, both of which can help you feel more alert, energized, and focused.

[00:36:29] The importance of distinguishing between excuses and self-care when it comes to skipping workouts and proactively scheduling rest time to avoid feeling guilty or not good enough.

More about Tanessa: Tanessa Shears is an experienced health consultant who specializes in helping high-achieving entrepreneurs completely overhaul their health so they can achieve massive breakthroughs in their personal and professional lives. She rolls up her sleeves and gets elbows deep with her clients as she guides them to work through all of it, piece by piece.

You know, the ones who push you, support you, and never let you slack off? The ones who constantly remind you to get uncomfortable and GROW? I’ve experienced this a few different times this year.

One of my most recent experiences was learning how to drive a rally car in Texas.


And this is how it went… 

I was planning on attending a retreat for an incredible mastermind community for CEOs and founders called Hampton. Inside of the Hampton slack chat, where we all communicated, I saw a rally car driving invitation inside…and well, I accepted.

I had no idea what a rally car even was (I mean, ya girl had to google it), but I knew I needed to say yes. I said yes because of the people I would meet and the fact that it would be a really uncomfortable experience. 

When I arrived at the rally car race track, I learned that the rally car was a stickshift, which I did not know how to drive. (What’s a good lesson without a little setback, am I right) So, the instructor had to teach me how to drive a stick before the actual rally car lesson.

It was pouring rain, and the windows were completely foggy inside. (You can probably see how difficult this was, right?) And I just kept on reminding myself that I WANTED to be uncomfortable.

But I was so embarrassed. I just kept telling the instructor how sorry I was, and even though he was so patient, I am sure he had nightmares about teaching me. 

But at some point during the lesson, I started listening to his rally car advice differently, and I found myself applying it to business.

I think sometimes the best way to learn in your industry is to learn outside of your industry. Would you agree?  Press play now to hear more about:

[00:00:13] My word of the year, "rebirth," and how it has manifested in different areas of my life.

A Force Multiplier serves as the behind-the-scenes, right-hand person to the CEO or founder of an organization. 


This term was coined by Adam Hergenrother (CEO and Founder) and Hallie Warner (Chief of Staff) with Adam Hergenrother Companies, who have been working together for over 12 years. The Founder and the Force Multiplier is a concept that started with a blog that later became a book, then a movement, and now an organization.


But Adam didn’t hire Hallie to become a Force Multiplier. 


He hired her to be a Marketing Assistant, and after about 3 months of working together, he realized that she would become his Executive Assistant (it took 6 or 7 Executive Assistants before finding her!). 


Now, Hallie serves as the Chief of Staff, and Adam considers her his Business Partner.


In this episode, Adam explains the three most important things a Founder must do: cast a vision, provide clarity and direction, and make quality decisions every day.


But if the Founder is unclear on what the vision is and struggles to provide clarity and direction to others, making good decisions becomes much more difficult, and too much time is spent making decisions on 80% of the things that don’t matter.


I had to pause Adam here: Why 80%? Where did that number come from?


He referenced the Pareto Principle (also known as the 80/20 Rule): 80% of X is caused by 20% of Y. (Here is an example: 80% of results come from 20% of actions.)


These 80% of decisions can be handed off to someone who has the ability to think like an entrepreneur, while the CEO or founder focuses on the 20% of decisions that move the needle forward.


Basically, Force Multipliers and CEOs are like Batman and Robin. And what’s really cool? The CEO/founder isn’t Batman.

[00:04:51] Adam explains that the three most important things a leader must do are to cast a vision, provide clarity and direction, and make quality decisions every day.

[00:09:14] How The Pareto Principle applies to decision-making, and Adam’s advice to leaders to focus on the 20% of decisions that matter instead of getting caught up in the 80% that don’t matter.

[00:11:51] How to know if you need a Force Multiplier and (if so) what the hiring process looks like.

[00:21:53] How to know when it's time to make the initial hire of a Force Multiplier.

[00:24:17] What to do if you don't have the funds to pay for a Force Multiplier and the first steps in crafting a job description to attract the right candidate.

As a bootstrapped founder, I’ve learned many lessons, encountered many challenges, and pivoted MANY times. 

At each turn, I was uneducated, unfunded, unqualified, and unprepared to start a new business, but I did. 

In my first year of business as a photographer, I earned six figures. 

Within three years, I got awards for my work and traveled the world with my camera.  My career took off, and I began creating content, teaching, and consulting, which generated multiple 7-figure revenue streams.  Here’s a peek at my career iterations…

2006: Photographer 

2010: Content Creator 

2012: Consultant 

2015: Course Creator 

2017: Membership Founder of Social Curator

2020: SAAS CEO of Social Curator

When we built our own tech stack on the inside of Social Curator in 2020, I had no idea how to run a tech company. I was paralyzed with fear, and the responsibilities intimidated me.

I was seriously so nervous about going to the tech meetings that my stomach churned with acid waves.

But more than that fear, I loved our team. I was determined to learn as fast as I could, so I invested in coaching, mentors, and communities to figure out how to actually run a software company.

Now, Social Curator integrates with all of the major social platforms and helps entrepreneurs plan, create, and schedule their content, saving them so much time and energy.

Our upgraded platform debuted earlier this month, and the feedback was incredible.

We celebrated by hosting a free masterclass that showed our attendees how to create a month of content in less than two hours with our upgraded platform. (Wanna learn more about Social Curator? Click >>HERE<<)

Actually, let me rephrase that.

Have you ever started a project and set a deadline by which the project should be done - and then at some point realized that deadline was going to be harder to hit than you thought?

I’ll be honest: this has happened to me.

Multiple times.

In fact, in 2020 our team was working tirelessly to prepare for a big promotion. We had set a deadline and, after a few weeks, I realized that it was going to be hard to meet it.

I was talking this through late one night with JD and he asked me, “Why can’t you move the deadline?”

His question (though annoying in the moment) was brilliant. It helped me realize that I had unknowingly applied a meaning to the deadline - if we hit it, it meant we were a capable team.

But that wasn’t at all true. It was just a story I was telling myself.

So I started asking myself a different question: could I have the courage to change the deadline without it meaning something about myself and/or my business?

If the answer was yes, I needed a framework to know if changing the deadline was in the best interest of our team and our customers. If you’re in need of this framework - I call it the “decision to delay” framework - then click play now to learn:

  • [00:29] How the best business owners think about deadlines
  • [01:22] The decision I faced in 2020 on whether to push back a deadline

  • [09:19] The “decision to delay” framework that I used with the team in February

Yes, it’s practical - but it’s also real and honest and a little messy.

I get vulnerable and I share that I had a realization last year that I had subconsciously stopped sharing an inside look at my business.

If I’m honest - I stopped sharing because I felt uncertain with how I was doing things and I felt exposed. I knew I was doing things wrong, but I didn’t know how to do it right. Sharing that felt like too much.

But a few things happened in early 2023 that shifted my perspective - and I recommitted to sharing the journey - the good, bad, and ugly - with you.

In this episode, I detailed WHAT happened and the biggest takeaway I learned from it all: avoid dead end questions.

(Dead end questions are questions that lead you nowhere and get you stuck. They don’t have logical answers and use the past to prevent the future).

  • [01:25] Why I stopped sharing an inside look at my business

Have asked yourself questions like: Why hasn’t it happened yet? What am I doing wrong? Why does it feel so hard?

If so: you’re not alone. It’s common to use other people’s timelines or results as a measure of what we should do or should have in a certain amount of time.

But here’s what I’ve learned about this: I have NO idea how someone got their results. None. And so to compare myself and what I have (or don’t have) is simply a waste of time, energy and focus.

Instead of asking “why not me?” I’ve learned to ask different questions - questions like “who must I become to get what I want? What must I learn to get what I want? How must I be patient to get what I want?

If so, you’re not alone. In fact, a jewelry designer named Tammy asked me this exact question during a recent group coaching session inside Social Curator.

She was frustrated and felt stuck - she told me, “I get really mad at myself. I have everything I need and I’m not profitable.”

I had the honor of coaching Tammy through her frustration and stuck-ness and the framework I walked her through is one that I want to share with you in this episode. It’s short, but friend - it is powerful. I truly believe that if you take the time to work through it, you’ll see the progress you’ve been hoping for.

But prior to our interview, I did my homework and was completely FASCINATED by what she does and how she’s reinventing and reviving a somewhat tried-and-true experience (laundry and dry cleaning) with technology. 

Rechelle founded JULIETTE, a full-service laundry company that picks up, cleans and delivers clothes with a click of a button in the heart of New York City. JULIETTE clearly sits at the intersection of fashion, lifestyle, and technology and in just a few short years, it’s already a leading innovator within the industry.

I did my homework on Rechelle… and something that really resonated with me about her story was the fact that she is an Asian immigrant woman who built JULIETTE with zero funding. 

Rechelle wrote in an email to me and my podcast producer: 

“In 2020, VC’s invested $428M into US-based startups each day. That’s $156.2B in one year. 2.3% of that went to women. 0.2% went to women of color.”

Only .2% of US venture capital went to women of color… Clearly, the numbers were against her.

Listen as she answers how she made it work with the odds stacked against her and how she revolutionized an industry without any investors. 

We break down how she went from knowing nothing about running and owning a laundry service to building a company rooted in new technology while simultaneously working her 9-5.

A lot of people say to me, “Jasmine, I got into business because I'm an entrepreneur. I'm not a content creator.” They want to know how to be successful in business without inadvertently becoming a content creator too. 

I'm the daughter of an immigrant. I have bootstrapped every single company. I have paid for everything cash. I have never taken a business loan. I have never borrowed money from anybody. I don't have equity holders. I don't have stakeholders. I don't have any investments. 

And so people are like, “well, okay, how did you do that?”

I did it on the back of content. 

Do I think everybody needs to create content? No, not if you can pay for ads, not if you can pay to have a whole strategy team, not if you can invest in getting featured in outlets, not if you can afford paying an influencer to talk about your business or product. 

If that's you, then no tea, no shade. 

The way I grew up in the hood is trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.

And so for me, content has always been the swiss army knife of my business.

In this episode, I’m going to walk you through how to strategically use content to create value for your audience and give your business massive momentum, how can you position yourself as an authority if not many people follow you and I’m going to answer what I would do if had to start all over again to get my very first sale on Instagram.

Too much, too little.

    So often we stop our growth for fear of what others will say.

    • We hide our light to make other people comfortable.
    • We speak softly, stand in shadows, and play it down with subconscious hopes that our enough-ness won’t highlight someone else’s insecurities.

    But by doing so, we live a half-life of what we could do, who we could become.

    ]]>     Does Instagram REALLY matter?

    I was thinking about this topic the other day because let me deal it to you straight: many business owners have personal opinions around specific platforms and it’s affecting their decision-making when it comes to using social media for their business.

    Our objective as business owners is to make decisions that benefit our business… personal feelings aside.

    We have to CHOOSE to market our business using the best outlets available to us. 100 years ago, it was via newspapers… then the radio… then it was on TV… then it transformed into billboards, the internet, and finally: social media.

    I personally think that in 2022, for many business owners Instagram is an excellent place to market your business.

    It’s completely fine if you choose not to use social media, but if you use Instagram to market your business, I’d like to share with you my top 2 tips for business owners using this platform in 2022, so click play NOW!

    I hope these tips will help you use Instagram to market your business… because my prediction is that it’s here to stay, and it’s NEVER too late to start!

    Two weeks later my hair was slicked back into a tight bun, I wore a beard, and my name was listed next to the title “Angry Innkeeper” in the printed show program.

    Instead of floating onto the stage as the beautifully pregnant Mary, I choked on my fake beard as my theatrical debut was relegated to shouting, “I SAID there's no room in the inn!”

    Thankfully my Broadway aspirations ended on that stage, but it taught me that shouting (in person or online) is never a good thing.

And we’re often pulled into the drama of price-reducing advertisements, flashy sales, BOGOs, and more.

    I received some GREAT questions, including:

    • Is there any specific strategy to launch with luxury prices when many competitors price much lower? I’m in the quilt industry.
    • As a solo entrepreneur, what is the best way to approach having a baby and creating space for "maternity leave" when it all is on your shoulders?
    • I am an accessories company. I keep trying to figure out what "problem" people have that I'm here to solve without talking about price.
    • I've taken a LONG break from posting on social media. What are some things I should consider before jumping back in?

    and more!

    If you enjoy this Q+A session, text me and let me know because I just might do another one, so let me know! Click play now.

    If creating content for social media is a business task that makes you feel like you’re a one-person circus act juggling 27 fire torches while riding a unicycle, then this episode is PERFECT for you.

    So sit back, relax, and listen in!

Does Motivation Really Exist? Here’s a question I get often and one I struggle to answer: “How do I get (and stay) consistent on social media?”

    If you’ve ever had this question, this episode is for you, friend.

    The answer to being consistent is actually quite simple, but it’s not the one you want to hear…

    • I want to tell you that there’s a magic formula for consistency.
    • I want to tell you that if you drink a green smoothie every morning, it will make showing up on social media easier.
    • I want to tell you that meditating for 10 minutes each day will guarantee your success.

    But it’s much simpler than that. And also much more difficult. Because let me deal it to you straight:

    >>Consistency is an act of discipline. It means you do the work even when you don’t want to… and it DEFINITELY doesn’t mean you rely on “motivation” to show up for your business.<<

    If you need a kick-in-the-pants to learn to master the art of discipline, click play!

    As you probably know after over 200 episodes of the Jasmine Star Show, we like to get tactical up in here.

    Years ago when I was first building my photography business and I was dreaming of being a 7 figure business owner one day, I used to wonder what set the ‘big’ entrepreneurs apart from the rest, why some people achieve astronomical levels of success and others don’t. 

    Now, since investing in masterminds, speaking on stages, being on podcasts, and participating in collaborations with many 7 figure business owners, I’ve been able to compile a list of observations about how they’ve got to where they are.

    ]]>     Want to know the difference between YOU and a 7 figure business owner?

    As you probably know after over 200 episodes of the Jasmine Star Show, we like to get tactical up in here.

    Years ago when I was first building my photography business and I was dreaming of being a 7 figure business owner one day, I used to wonder what set the ‘big’ entrepreneurs apart from the rest, why some people achieve astronomical levels of success and others don’t. 

    Now, since investing in masterminds, speaking on stages, being on podcasts, and participating in collaborations with many 7 figure business owners, I’ve been able to compile a list of observations about how they’ve got to where they are.

    And that’s what I’m going to share with you today!

    This quote by my friend Lewis Howes really sums up the big “F” word: Failure.

    It’s not a hot topic to talk about, and it isn’t easy to admit. Failure used to be my biggest fear. I used to define my life based on successes and failures, wins and losses, like life was some big scoreboard… But then I had a mindset shift. 

    I realized that failures were just lessons in disguise, and if you look at each experience (good or bad) as a lesson, you’ll get MUCH more out of it than chalking it up to a success or failure.

    With this simple shift, I’m able to pursue my passion and, like Lewis said, put myself out there again and again, no matter the result. 

    Today, I’m going to give you a candid look at my three greatest business failures (AKA LESSONS!) and what I learned from them with the hope that you can learn from them too.

    In this interview, Shani and I discuss:

    • Why it’s important for business owners to acknowledge, accept, and own their story
    • How to own your story and use it to build a business you’re passionate about
    • Why storytelling is so important to the process of accepting yourself
    • The best way for business owners to share their story on social media

    ...and more.

    >>Friend, I hope this incredible conversation with Shani inspires you to discover your story and not be afraid to own it, learn from it, share it, and use it to inspire others.<<

    I was trying to decide what could help me get through the last 25 minutes of my cycle class, and I decided to express gratitude. But I didn’t think about expressing gratitude for people you’d expect--my friends, family, and people who support me.

    Instead, I decided to express gratitude for those who have tried to put me down, who tried to put limits on me, and those who have doubted me.

    >>I think it’s easy to thank your fans, but it’s hard to thank your haters…. And it’s just as important because without your haters, you wouldn’t be where you are today.<<

You’ll hear me express gratitude for the event organizer and CEO that didn’t pay me to keynote their conference, despite the reviews and requests from attendees. And you’ll hear me say thank you for all of the people who dissuaded, discouraged, and deprived me from starting Social Curator.

    Boo I want you to throw that mindset right out the window and never look back. In fact, I want you to reverse that car and run over it a few times just to make sure you completely get rid of it

    As a girl from the hood, I didn't grow up watching people build businesses. I didn't grow up actually thinking that entrepreneurship was a path in life that I could take. I lived in so much self doubt and created this lie that I had to have the money, resources, talent or connections to make my way in life. 

    The thing I had to learn was that:

    >>I just had to start with who I was, and with where I was at, and with what I had.<<

    As a result of this lesson, I started taking simple actions and building habits from that mindset that radically transformed the way I approached my business and my life.

    And if you’re thinking “I don’t procrastinate, I’m just a perfectionist waiting for the right moment”.  I want to hit you in the face with this quote:

    >>“Perfection is just procrastination in disguise”<<

    Perfect doesn’t exist Buttercup. You’re just wasting valuable time. All the time you wait trying to make something perfect is you not putting yourself or your product into this world. You will not know how to make your product or service better until you take it out to market. So stop robbing others of what you could be serving them with! 

    If you’re ready to take your messy self and quit making excuses and quit getting side tracked scrolling through instagram or reading the latest celebrity gossip in US Weekly... *yes I’m guilty of this too* … then listen to this podcast and read the show notes here; https://jasminestar.com/podcast/episode13a

    • Use consistency to build a reputation with your followers and [*bonus*] track what type of posts hit better with your audience so you can double down on them
    • Create content that gets into your ideal client’s psyche because any time a consumer looks at a piece of content that feels like it's tailor made for them, they will follow, they will spend more, they will wait more, and they will support more. 
    • Navigate conversations online to show value to your followers and build your tribe  
    • Post the same content across multiple platforms so you come across authentic and foster conversations 
    • Find what hashtags your consumers are inclined to look for so you can build your following  
    • Choose a bio and bio photo to truly capture your identity  
    • Invest in yourself, own that you are enough, and step into your purpose so you can better invest in others

    I am #blessed with a partner who believes wholeheartedly in me both in our personal and business lives! We dream with each other, push each other, support each other and there’s no one else I’d rather do it with.    

    So when we decided to dedicate an Episode to our relationship you know I had to bring out the big guns to interview us and who better to do that than THE Amy Porterfield!  

    I hope you are ready for some straight up vulnerability because you guys are going to hear it all. 

    • How we met & what dating was like 
    • What roles we play in both our personal and work lives 
    • How we set boundaries

I know you’ve got ‘em!

    • Are you trying to figure out how to price your services?
    • Is your product just not hitting right? 
    • Do you have a retention plan for your current customers? 
    • Do you have a product that’s not performing as well as you’d hoped, and you aren’t sure if you should scrap it and start over - or tweak it to make it more irresistible?

    In our second episode, join the party as we dive into questions from three business owners just like YOU! 

    We cover everything from pricing, to membership, and the scarcity mindset we may feel when removing a revenue source from our business that is no longer  serving us.

    The biggest lesson I want you to take away from this coaching session is to remember that it takes just as much energy to have a negative mindset as it does to live in abundance.

    We are on this journey together, boo! If you're struggling with shifting your mindset, I would love to invite you to download my free mindset makeover workbook >>HERE!<<
