Business Models

I started my business when I was 20, and for the first decade, I was convinced that I could do it all by myself. After having my first kid, and a total burnout, I realized that I needed help. I think that many entrepreneurs struggle with asking for help because your business is your baby, but as your business grows you get to a point where you can’t do it all by yourself and you need to build a team.

In today's episode of IntegratED, Jamie speaks with Veronica Romney a Dream Team Architect. She has been in the online marketing world since 2008, most recently working behind-the-scenes as a speaker, trainer, Director, and Chief of Staff for brands such as Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Pete Vargas, and BossBabe.

Veronica is a full-time research marketing professional and will share some super helpful tips with us today. 

Human Design is a cool framework that you can use to really get to know yourself better and it can be a really amazing tool that you can use in your business.

My intention is to start sharing some of the strategies that I've been using with my clients, by pairing their human design with their business.

In this episode of IntegratED, I will share my own experience with Human Design and how I plan on helping other entrepreneurs build a successful business by knowing more about themselves and trusting their decisions.

This podcast episode is different from my other episodes, but I think is really important to talk about our eating habits, because it is something that in my house, in the past, has really caused a lot of contention.

I can't even count how many fights have happened at 5 pm. A typical discussion would be something like:

“What do you want to eat?”

“I don't know. What do you want to eat?”

“I don't know. What do you want to eat??”

Before you know it, it is already 6 pm, we're fighting and end up getting takeout. Sound familiar?

So, with today's episode, I want to share how we have streamlined our eating habits and how that has saved us from many hangry discussions, saved us money, and saved us from wasting food!

I hope you enjoy this episode!

How do you find the confidence to own your voice and be willing to do that uncomfortable work, to shed the layers, and to start to question - "is this even my own voice or is this somebody else's voice?"

In today's episode, I am sharing an unexpected encounter I've had three years ago with a woman. Her advice “You'll find your voice too, you have it in you. It just takes some time to find it” has stuck with me ever since.

It is so easy to get lost in social media and what we “should be doing, what's working, and how we should show up in the world” and ultimately it can lead to a lot of disappointment in yourself.

Let's have a look at how you can find your voice and start using your voice!

We as a society are sort of obsessed with instant gratification. If we put something out there on social media, we want to get likes and comments right away. In our minds, the likes and comments are also an indication of “how successful” the content is.

I really struggle with that point of view. As someone who's been in the social media world for a really long time, I would think that that's the wrong lens to look through social media with. Many entrepreneurs think that they didn’t get a new comment or as many likes as the previous post, then it's not a successful post.

That shouldn’t be the measure of success for social media!

Too often we entrepreneurs you the "I have a block" excuse in our business in order to avoid getting uncomfortable and facing the work that needs to be done to reach the next level in business.

As entrepreneurs, it is our job to grow our businesses and take on new clients. The block or hurdles are part of it. Naturally, we always want to fix something that's wrong and we would rather believe that there's something wrong with us, than just get uncomfortable and do the really hard work.

In this new episode of IntegratED, I share with you my thought about the very common excuse "I have a block" and offer some solutions on what the reasons behind it are and what we can do about it.

With traditional marketing, there was a clear line between marketing and the sales process. You couldn’t look at a billboard and buy something, but today, when you look online, it is all mixed together. For entrepreneurs, this can get quite overwhelming pretty quickly.

In this podcast episode of IntegratED, Jamie L Palmer talks to Liz Theresa, a business mentor, copywriter, and web designer. Liz has helped entrepreneurs find clarity and uniquely market themselves with confidence for the past 10 years.

They discuss Instagram Reels, the importance of showing up authentically for your business, how to be the star of your business.

Have you ever wondered what the best business model might be for the online space? I would contend that this is not necessarily the right question you want to ask. Instead, I would encourage you to ask yourself, which is the best business model based on your strengths and that you'll actually stick with?

I like to remind my clients that they went into business for themselves! Remember that when you see all of these different advices online, that encourage you to try this, this or that… it's like they're just throwing spaghetti at the walls to see what sticks. Don’t just follow a business trend because it’s in and realize that it is not for you.

In this podcast episode I will cover the following business models:

The 1:1 model, the high-ticket model, the retreat model, The mid-ticket model, The agency & service provider model, The low-ticket model, The membership model, The book and self-study model, The e-commerce model

The vast majority of people in the online space measure success through dollars.

We have all seen testimonials stating go from zero to six figures in six months or six weeks. Personally, I've never liked that approach, because when you look behind the scenes, there are so many ways with which you can manipulate those numbers.

You have to understand what success means to you: How do you measure success? How do you measure your goals?

The important thing to remember and to make shifts around is realizing what is really important to you. I know that there is a whole legion of people out there who are turned off by money marketing and so I want to open the conversation to you about what success looks like to you.

How do you measure that success, because I don't believe success is all about money. The money is a byproduct of the impact that you're making in the lives that you're changing.

Tune in to this episode!
