As a woman entrepreneur, learning the right marketing strategies will help you create success, but unless you also master certain key emotions, you’ll continue to find yourself challenged as you try to grow your business.

For example, let’s say a client wants to cancel out of their program agreement with you. From a purely business stand point, there are practical steps you’ll take to handle this situation.

But what about your feelings? Situations like these can trigger emotions such as fear, doubt, anger, victimization and more.

And while it’s okay to feel your feelings, if you allow them to take over, you’ll stay stuck in the “how dare they” or the “why is this happening to me” type of mindset that doesn’t help you grow as a person, and doesn’t support you in confidently addressing these common business situations.

What’s helped me in growing my business is to have a checklist of emotional triggers that I’ve focused on healing, so they no longer take over when I find myself in common, challenging business situations.

I wish I’d had a checklist like this in the early days of growing my business, which is why I’m sharing it with you now. I hope you’ll use it to make the personal breakthroughs you need to create a healthy and thriving 6 and 7-figure business!

As a woman entrepreneur, whether your business is robustly moving forward or you’re just getting started, it’s common to have a bit of “emotional money baggage” you may be carrying around, that is slowing you down.

For example, maybe you have debt, or perhaps you’re ready to increase your fees but you’re feeling a few pangs of guilt. Or maybe you see the perfect mentoring program you want to invest in but your spouse is skeptical that it will be a wise investment.

Given that it’s only within the past few decades that women have had the opportunity to flourish as entrepreneurs, it’s no wonder that so many feel hesitant about becoming major income earners.

But with the economic changes of the past few years, women are now starting businesses in record numbers. And in the process, facing their feelings and their fears about making more.

Which is why it’s critical that as a woman entrepreneur, you get comfortable becoming a “tall poppy”. A tall poppy is the one who stands tall, leading others. The original story of the tall poppy admonished someone from standing out, above others. This story was meant to keep people from questioning their circumstances or from exploring fresh opportunities to better themselves.

Ladies, we know those days are over, and if you’re serious about making a difference for others, then it’s crucial that you become equally as serious about being a tall poppy with your income, otherwise, how can you be the leader and role model you were born to be?

Which is why I’m sharing 3 of my favorite tips with you, all on how you can get comfortable and confident making more money, while still being in your feminine energy.

Everyone knows that “your money is in your list,” but what if your list is growing slowly or seems to keep attracting low-end followers? Are you missing the right techniques to building your list…or is there an energetic problem here that needs to be solved first?

The answer is yes…and yes. Meaning, while you must have specific strategies in place to grow you list, if your list size isn’t growing rapidly then it’s likely there’s a energetic reason that must also be addressed.

Yes, I know this may sound like some flaky New Age philosophy but consider this: If list building were strictly about mechanics then everyone would have a rapidly growing database, when the truth is, this isn’t what most women entrepreneurs experience.

Or, consider the all-too frequent example of two entrepreneurs, each marketing to the same basic audience. One of them has a much smaller list yet makes considerably more. Why does this happen?

List building takes more than mere mechanics. Here are my personal secrets that will help YOU break through any energetic roadblocks you may be having, that are preventing your list from growing quickly and responding positively to your offers.

Next to selling, no other aspect of a woman entrepreneur’s business causes her as much anxiety as figuring out what to charge.

I’ve known plenty of outwardly confident woman — the kind who wouldn’t hesitate to walk side by side with the big boys when it comes to success and achievement — who inwardly shrink when it comes to raising their fees.
