113 | Legacy, Leadership & Believing in Your Gifts with Rachel Proctor

SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES

It’s an honor to welcome Rachel Proctor, an online educator helping people transform their lives through faith and online business to our Rising Women Leaders community. We touched on all the challenges we face as entrepreneurs in the online world: fear, self-doubt, the inner critic, comparing ourselves to those who are our inspirations, how to handle trolls and so much more.

Rachel not only shares her firsthand experiences, vulnerable moments, challenges and successes rising as a leader in online business, but also through running a campaign for mayor in her town outside of Dallas, Texas. If you’ve been having trouble believing in yourself, your gifts or your dreams, you may just find the motivation you need to take your first step in today’s conversation.

In this episode we discussed:

• Making courageous business decisions (even when the odds are against you)

• Finding your unique voice in a crowded mediascape  

• How to approach what scares us through mindset practices

• How “failing” leads to our greatest success stories

• How to navigate “compare and despair” in entrepreneurship

• What Rachel learned from six years in local politics and her reflections after running for mayor in her town outside of Dallas, Texas

• How to navigate the people who “attack” or speak up against you when you are taking big strides in your life and career

• The role of faith in Rachel’s life and work as an entrepreneur

• Bringing Black business owners/entrepreneurs to the forefront through education and building upon the principles and actions used by previous generations of Black business owners to achieve success in the face of inequality

081 | A Gift for Female Entrepreneurs with Meredith Rom

SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES

I’ve been doing this work for a long time now and last week I was doing a client review of what’s happened in the last year for my past clients in the world of feminine entrepreneurship… I was happily surprised to discover that many of them have been able to 

• Increase their income to $3-10k per month in their spiritually centered business

• Use their voice with confidence to share their message

• Help more people and make a bigger impact because they finally have the time and freedom to focus on it!

I’ve been so busy helping THEM grow their dream businesses that I haven’t taken the time to share with YOU how you can earn more money and finally put yourself out there to do the work your heart has been calling out for you to do.

For that, I apologize.

All the time I’m hearing from women that they're struggling to get by in their business, that they deeply feel they have a calling, a sacred mission to fulfill, but are having to work multiple jobs and burning out trying to make it all work…

…A phone call with someone who lacks the confidence to put herself out there and share her message.

…A Facebook message from someone who is afraid to raise her prices because she’s afraid no one will sign up.

…A DM from a sister who’s been spending her time growing her instagram following but behind-the-scenes is not earning anywhere near the kind of income she would like to make.

The truth is, you CAN earn more money AND live life on your own terms (with a flexible schedule, time for family, self-care, and spiritual practices)… It’s just that I haven’t been focusing on helping YOU with those kinds of results.

I’ve been waking up to the fact that if ANYONE in the world is meant to be earning more money, it is spiritual, heart-centered women like you.

That’s where we need more power. More femininity in leadership. More women owning and earning their worth.

And you know what?

When you are owning the true value of what you have to offer, you will actually have more TIME to focus on spreading your sacred work, your voice, your message, your soul gifts in such a bigger way…

So many more people will benefit from what you have to share.

So even though earning great money is part of it, underneath that, I really want you to make the impact your soul came here to make.

To break through the fears.

The self-doubts.

The limiting beliefs.

The old stories saying you can’t.

It’s time to honor your voice. Your soul callings.

No more hiding.

I know I’ve been offering value to you through the podcast, and I’ll keep doing that, but I’m realizing it’s not the same as taking you by the hand to make the shifts I think you would really love to see in your life.

No more.

I’ve opened up some time in the next week to speak to a select number of committed women about how they can increase their impact and income without letting go of their spiritual and feminine values.

There’s no charge for this and it’s totally free.

But it’s not for everyone.

Here are the kinds of women I can help:

• Feminine entrepreneurs who have an existing business and want to grow their work online

• Those who are committed, show up and take action

• Those who have a deep soul desire to make a positive impact through their work

• Those who are willing to step outside their comfort zone to grow

If you’re tired of playing small in your business and you’re ready to start seeing results, then I’m making the time to show you how to get there.

With love,

One of the Best Business Decisions I Ever Made

Flash back to 5 years ago I was about eight months in to running my coaching business, and in a lot of ways I felt lost, trying to figure it out as I went.

Although I had a handful of clients and yoga teaching gigs, I was struggling to make ends meet and had no idea how to take my business to the next level.

I had put many of my life-long dreams on the back-burner (like writing my book) while I focused on getting all the foundational pieces of my business working.

But I knew there were people out there doing it. Thriving. Successful. And doing it in a way that was in complete alignment with their values of freedom & femininity.

I wanted that.

So I decided to take a leap, and signed up for a weekend in-person event in Sonoma with two women coaches I looked up to.

During the course of that weekend I mapped out my first official online course launch, I began to believe in my ability to actually write my book, and I connected with a network of powerful women (many who I went on to collaborate with on my podcast).

There is something SO MAGICAL that happens when you are surrounded with kind, loving, and ambitious women who see your greatness.

...When you tap into a new field of consciousness...

You are amplified into a whole new level of being.

Something about being in that atmosphere changed me.

I started believing in myself.

I was surrounded by inspiring women who were making it work. Women who were thriving. Women who were making a positive difference in the world.

Women who stood in their power, who knew their boundaries, and who were successful doing work they loved.

Just months after leaving that miraculous event...

• I opened enrollment for my online course Vision and surpassed my wildest dreams with my first ever 5-figure launch

• I hired a book editor/writing coach (on referral from a woman I met at the event) and was committed to following through on my dream of publishing my book

• I signed a contract with a publisher to release my book to the world

Not only did that weekend give me the time and space to reconnect with my wildest dreams, but it actually opened me to a whole network of women who believed in me, wanted to help, and were able to connect me to the people and places I needed for my next steps...

Just imagine what an in person event like this could do for you...

...meeting incredible women ready to uplift and elevate your dreams...

...receiving cosmic wisdom in a group psychic session with my friend Anastasia...

...getting crystal clear on your dreams and visions for the year ahead...

...releasing deep rooted fears/limiting beliefs that are holding you back from owning your worth...

...having the time, space and support to design your dream schedule + with flexibility, femininity and freedom...

...leaving with new business relationships and opportunities for collaboration...

In the comments, I’d love to hear, what have been some of the best business investments you’ve ever made?

Hope to see you in SF this Fall!
With love,

Meredith

028 | Luna Love on the Muse, Creative Entrepreneurship & Inner Marriage

Some of you may remember Luna Love from an episode where she interviewed me for her show - The Ladies Who Lead Podcast - where I shared my 4 Keys to Feminine Leadership. 

I invited Luna on RWL to share about creative entrepreneurship, how she uses the muse to go for her dreams and about the process of inner marriage - how she came into wholeness and attracted a loving partnership in her life.

One of the things I admire about this woman is her ability to accomplish so much, WHILE  nurturing a feminine way of being and living - one of the values I hold so dear in my own business. In this episode she shares some of her secrets to "getting it all done" while creating space for what matters most.

“Our capacity to receive as women is really not about other people giving us things but about our willingness to receive our unlimited potential and through the receptivity of that greatness lies the energy to create more and be of greater service…”
~ Luna Love

In this episode Luna shares about:

• The “I can” vs. “I can’t” voice and how she came to be a women’s leadership mentor
• How to decipher and tune into intuition
• Tips on how we can find our purpose
• Creativity and the muse - what it is and how to use it to go after your dreams
• Luna’s secret to “getting it all done!”
• Inner marriage, personal responsibility and the list you need to write if you want to call in and attract a loving partnership
• The relationship tool Luna uses to use to cut through illusion and deepen connection
• Luna’s take on when it’s time to “feel the fear and do it anyway” and how to go about it

Enjoy!

Love, 
Meredith
