    Living Your Best Teacher Life: Learn How to Set Boundaries and Say No!

    Friends, it's a new year!! 

    And you know what that means… NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS!

    Every single December, we all collectively decide the coming year is going to be our best. 

    But let's be honest, these last two years have been less than stellar, especially for teachers, thanks to a little something called "The Pandemic".

    However, as they say, third time's the charm, and 2022 is going to be OUR year!

    And that's why it's the perfect time to make (and follow) the one resolution every teacher needs to make: Setting boundaries.

    Having interactions with your students' parents and keeping them in the loop is important, but don't let them walk all over you. After all, you're the professional.

    However, if you find that this is easier said than done, then you're in luck, because today, I discuss how to live your best teacher life and learn how to say no with the brilliant Pat Quinn.

    Ready?

    Let's dive in!

     

    Key Takeaways:

    "No" is a complete sentence (00:00)

    Setting boundaries is a must! (02:53)

    Stories vs. facts (06:55)

    The Best Daily Planner for Ecommerce Entrepreneurs

    The Best Daily Planner for Ecommerce Entrepreneurs

    Okay, back in the day (which basically means pre-smart phone) pretty much everybody had a planner. 

    People like Stephen J. Covey made daily planners pretty much a necessity for anyone who wanted to stay organized and be successful. Until…keeping calendars and notes on your phone became “the thing.” 

    But you wanna know a secret? There are still a lot of us who prefer paper daily and monthly planners…and a bunch more who are starting to. 

    I think part of it is just the process of writing things down. It’s powerful. And can we just be honest and say that a break from electronics is good for our brain? 

    I created the Because I Can daily planner specifically for ecommerce entrepreneurs like me. It incorporates goal planning, monthly and daily planning, life balance stuff, dreaming—everything that we do as business builders. 

    It’s probably not a secret that I wondered how it would work for other people, too. Fortunately, it’s been a big success for so many others—including Alix Trabucco, who is joining me on the Because I Can Life podcast. 

    She’s talking about her entrepreneurial journey, how she uses her daily planner in a variety of ways, how her teenage son uses the planner…and what’s next for them both.

    Life as an Entrepreneur in 2021: Be Kind, Rewind

    Life as an Entrepreneur in 2021: Be Kind, Rewind

    Join me as I take a look in the rearview mirror at 2021 and all that it brought in this segment of my Podcast I’m calling “Be Kind, Rewind.” 

    Now I’m going to be COMPLETELY honest when I tell you that I can’t even believe it’s time for one of these. 

    I kinda keep thinking that Easter was last week.  (Spoiler alert! It wasn’t!) 

    So #nosuprise, I really can’t believe that Blockbuster has pretty much been gone for about a decade. Because what the heck? (Not talking to you, Bend, Oregon! Stay strong, my friends!) 

    The thing is, I’m kind of in love with the whole idea of the Blockbuster mantra “Be Kind, Rewind.”  Long story short, I think we all need to be a little bit nicer to ourselves and others when we look back. 

    As I recently heard, the only judge around here is Judy and she’s not in court right now, so let’s not be so judgy mcjudgerton about ourselves. Can I get an “amen” on that?

    3 Things to Consider When Selling on Marketplaces vs. Shopify

    3 Things to Consider When Selling on Marketplaces vs. Shopify

    So what happens when the doors to your online business close—without you having any ideas as to why? 

    On my podcast today, you’ll meet an entrepreneur who experienced it and what she did about it. 

    Taylor Glaus started her business on Etsy—one of the biggest ecommerce marketplaces out there. Within two years, she’d become so successful that she had 40 employees. 

    But right before Christmas in 2019, her Etsy stores were suddenly closed…and would never reopen. 

    But here’s the thing—Taylor is a fighter. And with encouragement from her mom and husband, she dug her heels in and relaunched her business using her own website. 

    And when it came down to Etsy vs. Shopify, Shopify won BIG (as in $1 Million in 11 months big!) 

    Listen now for the details.

     

    Key Takeaways:

    Intro (00:00) 

    How Taylor Glaus got started in ecommerce with Etsy: (1:15)

    3 Steps You Can Take to Deal With Negative Reviews

    3 Steps You Can Take to Deal With Negative Reviews

    Every now and again I can’t help but humming the “Why You Gotta Be So Mean” song from T Swift…especially when I scroll through the negative reviews I’ve received. 

    But negative online reviews are kind of part of the whole ecommerce gig. 

    Sometimes the reviews are honestly written and have the best intent behind them. 

    Others…?  

    Yeah, not so much. 

    In today’s Because I Can Life episode, I’m digging into all sorts of things about online reviews, like: 

    • 3 steps you can take to deal with negative reviews;
    • My desire to normalize negative reviews;
    • Why online store owners need to avoid internalizing negative reviews;
    • What you should consider when you leave a review…

    …and why some people should never be allowed into National Parks. (Surprising tangent, I know.) 

    So kick back and give it a listen—and give it a review (hopefully not a negative one!) if you like what you hear. 

     

    Key Takeaways

    Intro (00:00)

    National parks slander? (01:20)

    Negative reviews are normal! (03:04)

    Sharing more negative reviews (04:50)

    Just delete those comments (07:07)

    Address the comments appropriately (07:47)

    Take the high road (09:02)

    Don't take these reviews personally (09:47)

    Put a barrier between you and the comments (11:04)

    A few examples (13:01)

    More reviews for you (15:10)

    How to Start an Online Boutique (and Why It’s Okay to Be Bad at Something New)

    How to Start an Online Boutique (and Why It’s Okay to Be Bad at Something New)

    When we were kids, it usually didn’t phase us to try new things—I mean, childhood is a time when we’re always learning, right?  And for the most part, if we don’t get it right, we just dust ourselves off and try again. 

    As adults, however, we don’t tend to give ourselves the same kind of grace. We want to get things right the first time. 

    That’s why I loved my conversation with Darlene Turner, who was one of the first people who joined my 0-$100K Program. 

    In this episode of the podcast, Darlene shares her journey launching and growing her online boutique, CrushOnThis.net—and what she’s learned along the way (including why it’s okay to be bad at something new.)

    4 Ways You Can Sell Even with Supply Chain Delays

    4 Ways You Can Sell Even with Supply Chain Delays

    Let’s put it bluntly: there are problems with the global supply chain right now. And those problems are impacting eCommerce sellers and entrepreneurs across the globe. 

    I discuss the reasons for this supply chain failure in this episode of my podcast—but 

    more importantly, I share 4 things you can be doing right now to keep your business going. 

    Now, you may wonder, given the fact that this supply chain issue is something that hasn’t really happened in our lifetimes, how I can give advice about it. 

    Here’s the thing: as an entrepreneur doing business in the eCommerce space, there is forever and always something that’s unexpected—and you really do learn to roll with it. 

    I’ve had products—one of which I talk about in the podcast—get stuck at a port for months! That means I’ve had to act fast to still hit key sales dates…even if it meant last-minute product sourcing, swapping out items, or repackaging old products so that they fit whatever target I needed to hit. 

    So if you’re not sure what to do because your products are stuck in port, give this podcast a listen. You may come up with some ideas of your own that will help keep your sales coming in.

     

    Key Takeaways

    Intro (00:00)

    Supply chain issues in COVID times (02:24)

    An overview of logistics (04:32)

    These Excuses Are Keeping You From Reaching Your Full Potential

    These Excuses Are Keeping You From Reaching Your Full Potential

    Hello everyone, Alison here! 

    Welcome back to a brand-new episode of Because I Can Life!

    A new season is upon us (yay, fall!!), which means holidays, which means holiday sales are coming.

    And this means hard work and no excuses, because excuses are how good results die. 

    Many of my students made excuses about why they weren't getting the results they wanted. But, as soon as they stopped doing that, big things started happening!

    So, if you're finding yourself making up reasons why you can't do one thing or why you're not achieving all your wildest goals, you might be in the same spot my students were at in the past.

    But just like them, you can overcome that and truly reach your full potential as a brilliant business owner.

    Ready?

    Let's dive in!

     

    Key Takeaways

    Intro (00:00)

    Excuses, excuses... (01:21)

    You don't always need money to start a business (03:28)

    There's no need for social media (06:43)

    Keep trying (09:00)

    Is time really an issue? (13:01)

    It gets easier the longer you do it (16:09)

    Don't let excuses stop you from reaching your full potential (20:39)

    Personal update (24:03)
