Daily Success Show with Jamila Payne

One of the things that I’ve been seeing lately as I talk to clients is that women are literally holding themselves back from success.    We do this in a variety of different ways, but if you want to have long term success in your business, you’ll want to learn how to tap into your boss energy.    Your boss energy is the most bad ass version of yourself. She has the confidence, she has all the goals, and she makes things happen.   Here’s a secret: It’s all in you, your ability to make these things happen. But we let the different factors hold us back so we play small instead of stepping into that boss energy.    So in this episode of Breadwinning Women, I share how you can tap into your boss energy and be the very best version of yourself.   Learn …  

Did you know that some CEOs are not paying themselves a salary?   This is a common challenge that I see amongst women owners.   Some business owners are taught that they should not be paying themselves and that they should be reinvesting everything back in to the company.   The problem with that thinking is that it’s very difficult to sustain yourself if you’re doing that.    Your business should be generating enough revenue to support the expenses of the business, that includes the ability to pay you a salary. It should be able to provide for you.    If you're in a phase of your business where you feel like you aren’t making enough money, then you should start paying yourself.   In this week’s episode, I share the different strategies on how you can start paying yourself. Remember: you don’t expect people to work for you for free, so don’t expect that you should be working for little or no money either.    Learn …  

As a Breadwinning businesswoman, you might have already thought about creating generational wealth through your business.   However, conversations around how you can even build it weren’t done enough.   We don’t talk about enough about what we are doing with our earnings, how are we making them work for us, and how are we taking steps in our life that will allow the money that you earn to go beyond your bank account and your lifetime.   Some women might find these conversations uncomfortable but there are the things that we need to consider as early as now so we can achieve our goals for our future selves and families.   For today’s episode, I wanted to share with you the things that I’m doing and exploring the create generational wealth now and how you can too. Nothing that I’m sharing here should be considered financial advice but I’m sharing my experience in the hopes that it creates ideas for things that you can also put in place.   Learn …  

What’s your biggest WHY in your business?   If ever you find yourself scrambling what to say or how to describe what you’re doing, maybe you need to re-evaluate why you started your business.   It’s important as a business owner to stay connected with your “why you do what you do” so that it can guide the decisions that you make and how you will move your business forward.   So when you try to do an elevator pitch with a potential client, or you just need to have a deeper focus in your business, you would like to get your mission statement delivered across.   That’s why today I want to chat with you about your business mission and the importance of it. I’m going to share how you can model your business statement and have it aligned with your personal goals and mission too.   Learn …  

Does it feel like your finances in your business are all over the place?   Some business owners wait too long before they get financial professionals in place and as a Breadwinning business woman, knowing that your finances are being properly managed comes with the territory.   Maybe you’re already at a place where you need to have someone to support you in your budgeting, organizing daily financial processes, and tracking your transactions.   Bookkeepers will save you time by handling all the daily financial work for you and allow you to concentrate on the running of your business, and focus on doing the CEO tasks that you love.   In this Breadwinning Women episode, I wanted to talk about hiring a bookkeeper for your business. It’s a process that I recently went through finding a new bookkeeper and I want to share with you some of the lessons learned and insights that will help you in your decision making process.    Learn …  

It’s not too late to hit your goals for this year.   What’s most important is that you don’t throw in the towel, give up, and start planning for next year.   The advantage of still going after your objectives for this year will create momentum for everything you want to happen in the year ahead.    The seeds you plant now will create the harvest 3 months from now.   So even right now, you can still make the shifts in your business to hit the revenue goals that you have this year and finish the year strong.   In this week’s episode of Breadwinning Women, I’m going to share with you the 3 different ways you can implement in your business so that you can achieve your targets for this year.   Learn …  

No one can buy your services if you’re the best-kept secret.    I’ve heard lots of women saying  “I wish marketing wasn’t so complicated.”   I know that depending on what you're doing to put yourself out there, the tech plus learning the latest marketing tricks can take something that should be easy and make it overwhelming.   You just need an automated way to connect with your potential clients, nurture them, educate them on what you do, and make offers to help them.   That is by setting up a simple system to attract more of your ideal clients with ease and changing your mindset on how you can be a high-end service provider in your industry.   In this week’s Breadwinning Women podcast episode, I had the chance to chat with Kristina Knapp, I talked about how she built and grew her online business, Elixir Media Co. We shared how you can make your content accessible to your dream clients and set up your system without just following trends.   Learn …  

What’s holding you back to unlocking your full potential?   You might currently have a big goal set up and you’re wondering how you can reach it it.   You know that the goal is achievable because you’ve seen other people do it. But you're plagued with fear and self-doubt that leave you thinking “Is it possible for me?”    It’s all about changing your mindset and give yourself permission to let go of judgment. You need to train your brain to shift the stories you tell about yourself and stop yourself from self-sabotaging.   In this special episode, I got the chance to talk with Amber Rae as she shares how she let go of her fears, achieved her big goals of writing her own book, and start building belief in what she can have for herself so that you can use them to increase your belief in what’s possible too.   You will learn how to …   Identify what’s holding you back from achieving your goals and so that you can take action on it; Approach your business in a way that you can still express yourself and the valu

Do you often find yourself worrying over cash flows?   Cash management is something that can often cause stress for business owners especially when cash is going out faster than it’s coming in.   What I see happening for service providers is that you may be making good money but you're not receiving it as quickly as you earned.   If you're counting your coins against the money you earned, you're going to feel like you're coming up short. You’re earming great money but you're not seeing it in your bank account.    For this week’s Breadwinning Women podcast, know why it’s important to learn how to manage your cash flow, knowing exactly how much money you have coming in each month, and how much money you expect to go out.    Learn the …

For us women service providers, it is our goal to create big wins for our clients.   You know that love what you're doing, you're great at your own craft, and you deeply care for your clients so seeing them not being able to create massive results from your services might feel unfulfilling or frustrating.   It's important to acknowledge that it is not you at all.   We have a responsibility as service providers to create the conditions that will allow our clients to get great results.   You wanna have a methodology or a proven process in place that your clients can follow, and setting that up is our job.   For this week's Breadwinning Women episode, I shared the ways in how you can support your clients in creating the results that you want them to achieve for themselves.   Learn …  

It’s important to know that there is no more important asset than your time.    The problem is that most people don’t have control of it.   It might feel that your time is out of control but at the end of the day, you are the boss that is cracking the whip on that crazy schedule of yours.    Sometimes, you might be operating in a spirit of busyness because it makes you believe you should be running around, doing a bunch of things, juggling the balls, and when you’re not then you feel like you're not doing enough.    If you want to gain control of yor time back, you’ve got to get some systems in place that will allow you to do it.    In this week’s episode of Breadwinning Wednesday, I want to talk with you about how to increase your financial freedom by having systems in place around how you think about your time, manage your time, and really be able to set yourself up with a CEO schedule.    Learn the …  

As a Breadwinning CEO, our ultimate goal is to become financially free to create generational wealth.   You need to set your business up for success so you can do the money moves and invest for your future, and one of the most effective investments in the market nowadays is real estate.   The most common misconception in investing in real estate though is that it’s hard to finance and you need big funds for deals.   That’s why you need to familiarize yourself with the resources that are available to help you reach your investing goals.   It’s important to educate yourself on how to become a capital investor and build your own bank so you can passively build wealth for generations to come.   For today’s Breadwinning Women episode, I talked with Alexis Hart McDowell, an award-winning real estate & business attorney, about the benefits of investing in real estate and how to do it even if you don’t have big funds yet in your business.   Learn the …  

Where do you see your future self financially?   If you don’t 100% see yourself as a high earner yet, you need to step into the identity of a higher earner going to your future self and making decisions from that place.   That’s why it’s important to be able to reset your baselines in becoming a high-earning woman – how you see yourself matters.    I often see women business owners challenged with baselines when it comes to money. You have a certain amount that you're used to making on a monthly basis, but when you get comfortable with that amount, your income becomes stagnant.   It feels difficult to attain a higher level baseline and you would need to make some shifts to change that.   In this episode, we deep dive into resetting your baselines to reach financial freedom. You need to reset your baselines in business so that you can accomplish things in other areas of your life.   Learn the …  

Do you often find yourself having conversations with people who aren’t really interested in working with you?   While we often talk about the idea of making sure that you have several calls booked each week with potential clients, you’d want to make sure that you’re having the right people on the phone.   So before we go too far down the road with a potential client, we want to make sure that we are qualifying them.   That is by getting them to raise their hand to say that they are interested in working with you.     Make sure that you are clear if the person you’re talking to is someone you can help or work with. It’s not about volume, it’s about quality vs. quantity.   For this week’s Breadwinning Women podcast, I want to share with you how to qualify potential clients so that you're not spending time on people that aren't really interested in working with you.   Learn the …  

These days, it feels like everything is going up at a faster rate than your revenue.   You might also be feeling nervous about all the talk about a potential recession and how may it affect your business.   You have to know that business is cyclical and there will be ebb and flow. What you want to make sure of is that the lows aren’t too low and you can bounce back quickly.   The mistake that I see women business owners making is that they’re either going on firesale or mentally getting their head out of the game so that they start to lose traction.   So it’s important to get strategic about what are you doing to continue your business on the growth trajectory.    In this week’s episode, I’m going to share the 5 ways to add a recession-proof cash injection to your business so that even in the middle of economic uncertainty, you’ll be confident that you can still grow your revenue and bring in sales consistently.   Learn …   The importance of being able to maintain a level head and right mindset while things

As high-achieving women, we need to always prioritize keeping ourselves healthy.   The biggest mistake I see among breadwinning CEOs is that we tend to put our businesses first that we forget to take some time to nourish ourselves with good, healthy food.   Oftentimes, you might find yourself forgetting to take meals on time as the hours pass by, with your daily CEO tasks and client delivery in between.   The truth is and as always, you need to take care of yourself first in order for you to keep doing the job you love.   It starts with building and maintaining healthy eating habits and a good relationship with food on a daily basis.   In this Breadwinning Women episode, I am joined by Nagina Sethi Abdullah as we talked about building a healthy eating lifestyle as high-achieving busy women and eating the right foods on a daily basis, focusing on different key spices that we can incorporate in our meals that will help us stay fit and healthy.   Learn the …   Biggest mistakes and challenges high achieving wome

The mistake that I often see women make is confusing having a high standards with being hard on themselves.   You essentially believe in striving for excellence in everything you do. You have an image of yourself and the way that you either believe or were taught about how things get done.    But this is where the line usually gets blurry.   You can tell the difference between having a high standard and being hard on yourself because the latter has a different tone.    It’s your inner mean girl being all judgy.   In this episode, we’re going to break down the signs that you’re being hard on yourself and letting perfectionism take over your standards.   I’m going to share where having high standards is good in some aspects of your business and what you can do whenever you’re not meeting them.   Learn …   How to determine if you’re confusing having a high standards with being hard on yourself especially in your business; What are the certain aspects of your business that you want to have high standards around;
