    enApril 24, 2024

    Podcast Summary

    • Sharesight's investment dashboard provides comprehensive financial performance insights for various assetsSharesight's platform offers a unified view of financial data, including analyzed reports, dividend gains, and currency impact, for over 500,000 stocks, ETFs, and funds integrated with 200 platforms.

      Sharesight's investment dashboard offers a comprehensive view of financial performance for over 500,000 stocks, ETFs, and funds, integrated with 200 platforms, providing investors with organized and accessible information in one place. This platform goes beyond brokerage statements with analyzed reports, dividend gains, and currency impact through intuitive graphs and visualizations. For solopreneurs and business owners, learning to sell oneself can be uncomfortable, but it's a crucial skill. A Maori proverb, "The kumara doesn't talk about its own sweetness," highlights the importance of humility and letting actions speak for themselves. However, it's essential to address the discomfort and understand that promoting oneself doesn't necessarily contradict values. Maya, a 7-figure business owner, emphasized the importance of this skill for solopreneurs and shared her approach to pitching herself to people.

    • Sharing accomplishments with good intentionsAuthentic self-promotion inspires, helps, or uplifts others, aligns with values, and avoids uncomfortable feelings.

      Sharing accomplishments and information about what you do online doesn't necessarily equate to bragging, as long as the intention behind the share is to inspire, help, or uplift others. The way we share news and the intentions behind it are crucial in determining if we're bragging or uplifting. Intention goes a long way in navigating tall poppy syndrome and ensuring we're not putting others down unintentionally. It's essential to remember that people are humans and will have uncomfortable feelings. Authentic self-promotion that aligns with our values and beliefs, including cultural values, is key in business.

    • Authenticity and impact in self-introductionsFocus on value and impact in self-introductions to build connections and grow your mission, rather than feeling uncomfortable or icky.

      When introducing yourself or pitching yourself, it's important to be authentic and align your actions with your values. This can help alleviate any discomfort or "ickiness" you might feel. By focusing on the value you can provide and the impact you hope to make, you can reframe the situation from a transactional interaction to one of providing value and growing your mission. When introducing yourself, be clear about who you are, what you do, and the value your business or service provides. Social proof can also be helpful in demonstrating the importance and success of what you're doing. Remember, the goal is to make a connection and potentially make a positive impact, whether that be through meeting new people, growing your business, or inspiring others to invest. So next time you feel uncomfortable pitching yourself, try focusing on the value you can provide and the impact you hope to make, and the ickiness is likely to fade away.

    • Communicate your values, mission, and unique value proposition in networking situationsEffectively sharing your passions and values in networking leads to authentic interactions, opens up opportunities for collaboration, and expands your reach and impact.

      When networking or introducing yourself in a business setting, it's important to clearly communicate your values, mission, and what you offer to others. This not only helps potential contacts understand who you are and what you do, but also opens up opportunities for collaboration and mutual benefit. By leading with your passions and values, you create a positive and authentic interaction that goes beyond a simple transaction. Remember, every business interaction is a reflection of your hard work, dedication, and commitment to your customers. So, make the most of it by sharing your unique value proposition and being open to learning about others. This approach not only helps you build meaningful connections but also expands your reach and impact.

    • Accept contactless payments easily with Tap to Pay on iPhoneTap to Pay on iPhone with Stripe allows businesses to increase revenue, expand reach, and enhance customer experience by accepting contactless payments without additional hardware. Effective self-promotion, built on confidence and authenticity, is crucial for entrepreneurs to sell their mission and values, build trust, and connect with their audience.

      Tap to Pay on iPhone powered by Stripe offers businesses of all sizes an easy and flexible solution to accept contactless payments without requiring additional hardware. This game-changing feature enables businesses to increase revenue, expand their reach, and enhance customer experience. Simultaneously, it's crucial for entrepreneurs to confidently sell their mission and values, building trust and authenticity with potential customers. To practice effective self-promotion, one can introduce oneself, state what they do, and provide social proof. Confidence and authenticity are key to successful selling, and it's essential to understand and connect with one's audience. While methods like speaking, in mirror, may not be the most effective, having a clear and concise pitch is vital. Overall, Tap to Pay on iPhone and Stripe, combined with genuine self-promotion, can significantly benefit businesses looking to scale and make an impact.

    • Effectively communicating your business or projectPractice and refine your pitch to make it clear, authentic, and accessible to all audiences, focusing on how you help people.

      Effectively communicating what you do and how you make money is crucial for building interest and understanding, especially when speaking to those outside of your industry. Reframing your business or project as a way to help people and share your message authentically can make it more accessible and intriguing to others. Practice and repetition are key in honing your pitch and making it simpler for everyone to understand. Remember, the clearer and more authentic your pitch, the more likely you are to capture the attention and interest of your audience.

    • Business-focused mindset for greater impactEmbrace a business-focused mindset to create change and make a bigger impact. Share the podcast to help spread the message and reach more people.

      Being more business-focused can lead to greater impact and change in the world. The speaker, who runs a business aimed at creating change, emphasizes the importance of this mindset for entrepreneurs in the early stages. She encourages listeners to share the podcast to help spread the message and increase reach and impact. The speaker also emphasizes that while she is asking for listeners to share the podcast, she frames it as a way to help more people and create more change. This is an example of a businesswoman using her platform to make a difference.
