[00:00:00] Danielle Wiebe: Welcome to the bonus birthday episode. I'm so excited to record this episode for you. Today is my birthday, May 5th, and I wanted to do a bonus episode on the podcast because I'm doing something super special for my birthday to give back to this incredible community, to you, because I'm just so grateful to all of you who tune into this podcast.
[00:00:29] People who are part of our community, whether you are a client, a Mastermind member, if you've been to some of our events, or if you're just a loyal listener to the podcast, or maybe you're brand new. If you are, welcome. You are so welcome here. I'm super excited to have you. And for my birthday, I wanted to give back to you.
[00:00:49] I am going to share a little bit about all of the different gifts that I have for you. And then also, I wanted this bonus episode to also be incredibly valuable so I wanted to share a little [00:01:00] bit about this journey that I've had Podcasting what it has been like and why I feel like it has been one of the best Business decisions that I've ever made for so many different reasons and I wanted to chat a little bit about that that and why I feel like it's been a game changer for me because I know a lot of you who I talk to, have a dream of either starting a podcast one day or a YouTube channel or launching your blog.
[00:01:27] There's so many different things that you are working on and moving towards. And so I wanted to just share my journey and what that's been like. So first of all, before we dive into all of that, Juicy goodness. I wanted to talk about the gifts that you can receive from me for my birthday.
[00:01:45] So five of you will be gifted a coffee gift card on me. Three of you will receive a 15 minute cashflow strategy session with me. So for those of you who are on our email list, we did actually [00:02:00] did a giveaway recently. where I did some of these cashflow strategy sessions. And oh my goodness, they were so much fun.
[00:02:07] So basically we get on a call and for 15 minutes, you ask me all the questions that you have of how to make more cashflow in your business. We strategize with you. You can bring a question to the table, or we can just basically strategize on how you can create more cashflow in your current business or business model.
[00:02:26] So those are. super fun. And then two of you will be gifted a scholarship to either action takers club, which is our signature business program that teaches you how to create a profitable business without working around the clock. Or you can choose our strategic collaboration course, which teaches you how to create strategic and profitable collaborations for your business.
[00:02:50] So you can choose one or the other if you win, and two of you are going to get that. And then one of you is going to be gifted a free ticket to an [00:03:00] upcoming in person event that is going to be happening this summer. So I am so excited. There's 11 gifts in total, so a really big opportunity for you to win.
[00:03:13] So let's go ahead and dive into how to enter to win these gifts. So it's super simple all that I am asking for my birthday gift, if you want to support us and support this podcast, is just basically to support the show and to bring more awareness. So here are the three ways that you can do that.
[00:03:34] So each of these steps gets you one entry into these prizes. Number one is leaving a rating and a review of the Business Babes Collective Podcast on Apple Podcast or Spotify or both. So if you do both, you actually get two entries. If you want just a quick and easy way to do that.
[00:03:56] You can either do it on your app if you know how to rate. Rate the [00:04:00] podcast, or you can go to ratethispodcast.com/businessbabescollective. This will all be in the show notes by the way. Number two is share a recent favorite episode of the podcast on your stories on Instagram, and tag me @danilivinglife and @businessbabesco.
[00:04:21] And then three is ask a question. You can go to businessbabescollective.com/ask and you can either leave me a voice memo or you can leave me a form question and that is the third way that you can get an entry into these giveaways. So you can do all three of these things and get three entries, or if you want to just do one of these things, that's totally great too.
[00:04:51] And so once you're done that, then you email me at danielle@businessbabescollective.Com, or you can DM me [00:05:00] @danilivinglife, whichever is easiest for you. Let me know what you've done so that we can keep track on our end. And again, there's a very high chance that you will be one of the 11 people to win.
[00:05:11] So definitely go ahead and enter because these are incredible prizes. I'm so excited to give them to you. Okay, let's dive in now into a little bit of a podcasting and my journey because I want to share with you three reasons why I think podcasting has been one of the best decisions that we've made to be able to grow the business sustainably.
[00:05:37] Number one. It has given me the ability to , create valuable content for you as my community, and content that I really enjoy creating on a consistent basis. And then from there, I get to repurpose this content. So we've talked about this on the podcast before, about how powerful it is to have a long form content.
[00:05:59] Whether that be a [00:06:00] podcast, a YouTube channel, or a blog that you then repurpose to other platforms like social media platforms, your email, et cetera. If you are trying to create every single piece of content in your business from scratch, and it's not repurposed from anywhere, you aren't wasting a lot of time because you are having to create that content several times over.
[00:06:24] And so that is one of the biggest benefits that podcasting has given me. It's given me the consistency. So I show up twice a week in your earbuds , and it's a way for me to just stay consistent, to provide value for this incredible community that we've curated here.
[00:06:40] Number two is the collaboration and networking opportunities that it has given me.
[00:06:47] Now, you know I am a huge fan and huge advocate for networking and for collaboration. It's one of my favorite things to talk about. I talk about it a lot on the podcast [00:07:00] and I think this podcast has given me an incredible opportunity to have conversations with inspiring people because we are able to leverage our podcasting platform and so I can invite incredibly inspiring guests on this show where we can have a conversation.
[00:07:18] And then we can actually bring value to this community. So not only are we able to provide value for you as a listener, but the cool thing is I get to connect with these women and network with them. And often either before or after the episode, we're chatting, we're like, Hey, how can I support you?
[00:07:38] And what do you have coming up? And it's just a cool way to network, to build. relationships to build connections. And a lot of those relationships and connections have turned into, collaborative partnerships. So whether that be being affiliates for one another or speaking in each other's masterminds.
[00:07:58] So many different [00:08:00] benefits have come as a result of having a podcast and being able to really provide value as well.
[00:08:07] And then number three is that the podcast has allowed me to build a stronger connection with our community, so you as our community. So if you are someone who maybe you recently found us, so it's been able to actually grow our community and grow our reach.
[00:08:25] And that's been super incredible and beautiful as well. However, we've been building this business for eight years. And so some of you are like, Hey, I'm OG. I've been here since the beginning, I've been either attending your events or I've been following you on Instagram. And so that has been really cool because there's been so many people who have been a part of our community for a long time that then have found out that we have a podcast.
[00:08:50] And so I have been able to build stronger connections and relationships with some of you because of that. Because I'm showing up, twice a week on this platform. And [00:09:00] then you get to hear my voice. You get to learn from me and from the other incredible women that we have featured on this podcast.
[00:09:07] It builds that trust. And so it's been really cool because a lot of the people that I have chatted to that either are new members of our mastermind, or have joined Action Takers Club or even our in person events or hired me for coaching have said things like, yeah, I've been listening to your podcast for the last, six months or for the last few months or for the last year.
[00:09:30] And it's just really cool because I think when we are business owners and we are looking for what do we want to invest in as far as growing our businesses to the next level? What kind of support, what kind of coaching do we feel like we need? Often what we do is we look for people who have already been showing up for us.
[00:09:51] We look for mentors or people that we have been consuming their content, their free content. [00:10:00] And because we already have that relationship with them, we have that connection and we have that trust with them, it's so much easier to say yes because we know the way that they teach. We know that the way that we, the way that they care for their communities and what kind of experience that we'll have working with them.
[00:10:19] And so that has been just a really cool way that, again, we've been able to reach more people and grow our community, but then also grow deeper relationships with the community that we already have. So I would say overall, podcasting has provided an incredible way that we've been able to grow and scale the business sustainably.
[00:10:39] And when I decided to launch this podcast two years ago, this was a dream that I had for a very long time. I'm going to be honest with you, I did put it on the back burner for a long time and I actually talk about that. I'll link the episode in the show notes, but I talk about that in the Breakthrough Growth conference that we did in January and how I really [00:11:00] held myself back for a long time.
[00:11:01] But I could have never imagined that we would, reach the place that we have currently. You know, I have so many goals for this podcast and where I want to grow it to, but I never could have imagined that we would reach the top 1. 5. We're now sitting at 1. 5% of podcasts globally, and we are listened to in over 60 countries around the world.
[00:11:25] I could have never imagined that would be the impact and the reach that this platform would have, And I just can't wait to continue to serve you with amazing free content this is just the beginning for this podcast.
[00:11:39] We are just getting started on so many plans and exciting things coming your way and incredible guests that we're going to be bringing on. So stay tuned, stay connected, and also if you have topics that you want me to cover or if you have guests that you think would be amazing for the podcast, Come find me on Instagram and let me [00:12:00] know.

These are the episodes maybe that I have really enjoyed what you wanna hear more of, or if there's a topic that I haven't covered that you're like, Oh my goodness, I would love to learn about this specific topic.
[00:12:18] Then, please let me know over there too, because again, this podcast is curated for you. It's curated for the entrepreneur who wants to build and scale a successful, profitable business, who also wants to make an impact, who also wants to serve their community, build a community around their brand, and have a lot of fun in the process.
