[00:00:00] Danielle: Happy New Year and welcome to another episode of the Business Babes Collective podcast. I hope you had such a great Christmas and New Year's spent with family and friends. We ended up completely disconnecting over the break and it was just It's so nice and so relaxing. And so it's been a while since I've been in your earbuds and I've missed you.
[00:00:22] Danielle: So I wanted to record an episode today that was all around how to experience abundance in your business in 2024. So a couple of weeks ago before the Christmas break, we hosted a dream planning and goal setting workshop inside of our action takers club community. So if you don't know what that is, it is our signature collaborative community.
[00:00:45] Danielle: It's a community that we literally just revamped and relaunched last year. And we, inside we host weekly coaching, hot seat calls, monthly connecting collab events. We also host workshops specifically [00:01:00] around getting exposure for your business. growing your revenue. And then we also bring in experts to talk about subjects that I am personally not an expert in.
[00:01:08] Danielle: So it is a really vibrant and incredible community. And if you are not already inside of it and you are curious to learn more, then definitely click the link in the show notes. That's show notes, or you can go to businessbabescollective. com slash action takers club. So anyways, as I was saying, we hosted a dream planning and goal setting workshop inside.
[00:01:30] Danielle: And today I want to talk about something that is complimentary to this. So this will be helpful regardless of if you are already inside of action takers club and you've gone through this workshop before. Or if you're just a listener of the podcast and you are just coming to this episode, wondering what this is all about.
[00:01:48] Danielle: So today I'm going to be sharing how you can experience abundance in your business in 2024 and I broke it down into five different steps. So this is going to be a short and sweet episode. I'm [00:02:00] really excited. So let's go ahead and dive in. Welcome to the Business Babes Collective podcast. I'm your host, Danielle Wie.
[00:02:08] Danielle: In this podcast, you'll learn tangible business tips and strategies on how to grow successfully and sustainably. We'll also interview seasoned entrepreneurs so you can listen in on their stories and see behind the scenes of what it took to grow and scale their businesses. Let's dive in as we discuss the wild, exciting, crazy, challenging rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship.
[00:02:33] Danielle: Step one, the first step in experiencing abundance in your business in 2024 is to practice gratitude. So we all know that there is so much power in just being grateful. And when we're grateful, we really are opening ourselves up to so much more abundance because it's where our mindset is when we [00:03:00] are going to do our daily tasks.
[00:03:02] Danielle: So when we can be grateful for all the things we already have, then we open ourselves up to receive even more. then we already have. And so if our mind is in a positive state, we are open to opportunities that are already all around us. So you all know that I am a huge fan of thinking abundantly. I have several podcast episodes around abundance versus scarcity and all of that.
[00:03:28] Danielle: And I just truly believe in this concept because I've seen it play out not only in my own life, but so many of my clients lives and people within our community is that when they are just grateful people and they talk about what they're grateful for, they really have this positive mindset around their life and their business.
[00:03:50] Danielle: They just tend to, you know, experience even more abundance through their life and through their business. So practical ways that you can practice [00:04:00] gratitude. If you are a person of faith, you can definitely pray. So get into that habit of praying either each morning or each evening or both. And so you can thank God for all of the blessings.
[00:04:12] Danielle: I truly believe that all the blessings that I have in my life. are, they are blessings because God has given them to me and so my way of practicing gratitude is through prayer. So for you that might look like maybe practicing gratitude through journaling each morning or each evening. And so I recommend writing down at least three things you're grateful for.
[00:04:35] Danielle: So I like thinking about it in three different categories. So thinking of a person that you're grateful for. So this could be your husband, your kids, um, your sister, your mom, whoever. And then this could also be something practical. Like you are grateful for a roof over your head or clean drinking water, or the car that you have, the safe car that you have that drives you to and from activities, [00:05:00] right?
[00:05:00] Danielle: It could really be anything. It could even be like a vacation that you. either just took or are going to take in the next year. So something like tangible, something practical, and then also something to do with your work or with your business. So it could be like your amazing clients or opportunities that have just come your way.
[00:05:21] Danielle: whatever that might look like. So for me right now, it's the amazing women inside of my community, whether that be the mastermind members or action takers club members. I'm just so grateful for the community that we've been able to curate and how inspiring they are and how they actually inspire me so much.
[00:05:39] Danielle: And I'm just so grateful for each one of them. So you can kind of take those examples and curate them to yourself. So again, a person. A something practical and then something within your business. And then each day, try to think of new things. Um, if you can't think of something new every single day, it's okay to repeat things as well and do the same ones, but [00:06:00] ideally this would kind of like build on itself.
[00:06:02] Danielle: So every single day you're thinking of three new things that you are grateful for. Um, and that's just a really great way to get creative as well. So, you know, it could be like something super simple, like the fact that something practical, for example, could be the fact that you were able to afford. to purchase groceries that week, like, you know, that's something so practical.
[00:06:23] Danielle: The fact that you have food in your fridge, something to that effect, I think is just really powerful when you can just put things into perspective and be like, wow, I am so blessed and I'm so grateful for these things that I, that I have. So that is number one. That's the first step is gratitude. The second step is setting clear intentions and goals.
[00:06:45] Danielle: So once you are already grateful for everything that you have, now we want to talk about what your intentions are for this next year. And so if you were inside of our workshop, inside of Action Takers Club, I encourage all of our members [00:07:00] to come up with at least one focus goal. So that would be a goal that would.
[00:07:05] Danielle: You can create, that's actually a domino effect that makes all of the other goals more achievable. So an example of this would be, for example, if you have a goal of having more speaking opportunities and potentially launching a podcast and maybe another goal is like. doubling your revenue from last year.
[00:07:25] Danielle: So if you think of what could be a focus goal, maybe launching your podcast might be that focus goal because launching the podcast will give you maybe more opportunities to get booked on more stages, so more speaking opportunities, and it also might give you the opportunity to reach more of your potential.
[00:07:45] Danielle: customers or clients. So that will ultimately help you increase your revenue. So think about it that way. Like what is a goal that if you achieved that specific goal, it would make the other goals more possible. Okay. So then the third step after you have [00:08:00] set your intentions and set your goals is to build a supportive network and community around yourself.
[00:08:06] Danielle: When you surround yourself with other positive and supportive people, they will naturally rub off on you. So, we see this all the time in our community. We tend to attract some really incredible women, if I do say so myself, who are not only doing really big things and have really big goals for themselves, but the thing that I really appreciate about them is that they are incredibly generous.
[00:08:28] Danielle: with also wanting to support one another. So they're not just in it for what's in it for me, but they also want to support the other people within our community. And so it creates a really, um, safe, welcoming, supportive network of people that you can bounce ideas off of, um, strategize with, refer each other.
[00:08:48] Danielle: Like it's just really cool to see what happens inside of our communities. And I have seen. so much value from being a part of other communities myself, like different masterminds or [00:09:00] showing up in other communities myself. And when I show up from a place of abundance, so when I'm, you know, actually asking questions and I'm giving feedback and I'm creating connections and I'm nurturing these relationships inside of those communities.
[00:09:16] Danielle: That's when I see the most impact. And so that is something that I really want to encourage each one of you to do is to not only join a community where you can be a part of a group of people who are supportive and who are, um, also going for really big things. So you're going to be a part of a.
[00:09:37] Danielle: community of other women who are also, um, have some really big goals and dreams for their own life and their own businesses, but also participate in those communities because, you know, you can join those communities, but if you're not participating and you're not actively engaging, then you're not going to get as much out of it as you possibly can.
[00:09:56] Danielle: So showing up for maybe live calls that they have, or [00:10:00] even inside of their communities that they host, whether that be a Facebook group or a community out. side of social media like we have for ours. Um, that is super important. So one specific success story I want to share around this is that this is really cool.
[00:10:15] Danielle: We had two people that were both a part of our mastermind and they were able to partner together and actually launch a brand new business together. So this is like a whole other income stream to their business and they were able to do that together and then they had the support of the group. To be able to put that event together.
[00:10:33] Danielle: So that is just a, just one example of how powerful being a part of a community can be. You can even potentially launch new business ventures or new income streams. It's just really exciting to see what people are doing within our community. So the fourth step is to embrace challenges and see. the opportunities.
[00:10:53] Danielle: So challenges and setbacks are inevitable when you start any business. And working when you're [00:11:00] working towards your dreams, there's always going to be things that come up that are going to take you off track and, you know, distract you from your ultimate goals. And so this is why your mindset is. so incredibly important.
[00:11:12] Danielle: So, you know, it's important to be able to view your challenges as opportunities for growth. And this way you'll be able to move through your challenges and move through the hard times that you come up against because it's inevitable that you will come, um, up to hard times in your business. And so. You know, your mindset around it is really whether you, you let it take you out or you allow it to help you get stronger.
[00:11:39] Danielle: And so, you know, this last year, I think the biggest challenge that I had, um, was the challenge that I faced in the lack of time and basically lack of energy that I had to work. on my business. And so as many of you know, my son, Max was born in May. And so, uh, for several weeks after that, I [00:12:00] wasn't working in my business.
[00:12:01] Danielle: Right. And then obviously leading up to it, as many of you who have been pregnant before, you know, your energy levels are really all over the place. Um, and so, you know, being super productive and motivated in my business was not always easy during those months. And so this really Forced me to think about how could I rely on the people that I had within my network, um, people on my team, um, how could I outsource?
[00:12:30] Danielle: How could I work with other people? Many of you know that we work with, um, an event company, uh, gather events. They're amazing for each of our events. And so it's really like, how do you connect with other business owners? How do you utilize your team? That sort of thing and so that's really what I had to do this year is learning how to be able to let things go and then also Delegating and then learning how to say no to certain opportunities.
[00:12:57] Danielle: So for me, I'm such a yes person [00:13:00] I love being a part of so many different things And so it's really tempting for me to say yes to new opportunities or new things like shiny objects that come my way But I really had to set some kind of strict boundaries for myself and be more intentional about the opportunities that I said yes to and the opportunities that I said no to.
[00:13:21] Danielle: So the fifth step to an abundant 2024 is to celebrate your wins. So this is something that we do so often inside of our community is This is actually how we start off every single mastermind call is we ask our members what their wins of the week are. And inside of our other communities like action takers club, we really try to figure out, okay, what is everyone proud of?
[00:13:45] Danielle: What are they celebrating? What are their wins and get them to share their accomplishments because when you speak your wins and when you speak your accomplishments out loud to other people. It really helps you recognize how far you've [00:14:00] come and it helps you to think more abundantly about what you can create in the future, right?
[00:14:05] Danielle: Because if you have already accomplished something really exciting or really big, then you know that you can accomplish something amazing in the future as well. And so. Yeah, I think it's important to just really reflect and so I encourage all of you to reflect on what you accomplished in the last year and what you're really proud of and so I think for me I was just really proud of Being able to still grow the business for the revenue.
[00:14:33] Danielle: Um, even though this was a year that I wasn't working very much and you know, we had two kids, um, growing our family, of course, Brent launching his business. And so being able to still grow the business during that time, I think is a huge accomplishment that I'm really proud of. So I encourage you to also think of what are you proud of this year?
[00:14:56] Danielle: And I also encourage you to go through these steps that we talked about today. So [00:15:00] just to recap. We talked about practicing gratitude, setting clear intentions and goals for the year, building a supportive networking community around yourself, embracing challenges and seeing the opportunities and then celebrating your wins.
[00:15:17] Danielle: So I hope you go through each one of these things so you can experience an abundant 2024. I am. so excited for everything that you are going to accomplish this year. And if you want support and if you want to connect with a community of entrepreneurs who are all setting big goals for themselves and they all want this abundant, um, year this year, then I would encourage you to learn more about action takers club.
