A Conversation with Joseph Warren and Allison Gower“My soul was broken like a ceramic plate shattered on the ground.”
That’s how Allison Evelyn Gower, now owner of a $2000-a-day copywriting business, described her feelings after hearing one client’s feedback. This was back when she was taking on freelance job after freelance job feeling scattered and lost. It wasn’t bad feedback either. But it still broke her soul. All the client said was, “You know, Allison, this writing is great – I love it personally – but it’s too fun. It has too much personality, too much quirk. We need it more corporate.” Startup Nation, if you’ve ever met Allison Gower or visited her website at allisonevelyn.com, you know she is FULL OF PERSONALITY. Of course, her copy is going to have personality! So, rather than shut down her own voice, she decided she wasn’t going to take corporate clients anymore. She found her purpose. Her purpose was to work with entrepreneurs who wanted to find their own voices. And guess what? Her business exploded. Instead of running ragged with scattered clients, she’s working with the CLIENTS SHE WANTS and charging the RATES SHE’S WORTH. Here’s how you can do it, too, Startup Nation.

A Conversation with Megan Huber and Joseph WarrenMegan Huber runs a multi-million-dollar business acceleration business, but she didn’t start with success. She began with a personal development business in 2011, and when that didn’t work out the way she planned, she joined an enterprise-level coaching corporation.
For four years, she worked with thousands of coaches. Some made $600,000+ year in and year out. Some could hardly pay their bills. “What was the difference?” she wondered. The difference was that the most successful coaches created communities first and sales second. Women-focused business conferences are FAILING female entrepreneurs.
Jen DeVore Richter, a popular conference speaker and my guest on Your First 100k Podcast, just can’t believe the typical speaking topics.
Jen doesn’t see anything wrong with these topics, but… WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY?! She calls these topics “soft subjects.” And women do a disservice to other women when they assume their peers only want to hear about soft subjects. THAT ASSUMPTION IS WRONG. The reason most female entrepreneurs fail is because their business numbers fail. Their numbers fail because no one sits new entrepreneurs down to explain revenue, profit, and cashflow. Financial conversations are what Jen would call “hard subjects.” To all my female followers out there, I know you can handle that conversation! It’s simple. Your revenues must be higher than your costs. The difference is profit. And profit has to be high enough to sustain a livable lifestyle for both you and your family. Otherwise, your business model isn’t sustainable. Maybe you didn’t get a business degree from college. That’s ok. Jen has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs get CLARITY on their financial situations, and she is willing to share her top tips with you right now. |
