In today’s episode our focus is on the unique challenges (and gifts!) that women in middle and later life face in showing up and aging in the online world and being the face of their business.  I am joined by my guest, Suzanne Rothmeyer, a well established brand and commercial photographer. Suzanne's focus in the last several years has been on the unique challenges (and gifts!) that women in middle and later life face in showing up and aging in the online world and being the face of their business - while simultaneously being a huge force in both purchasing power and creating businesses that are passion+purpose driven. Women in their "2nd Act"!Our conversation touches on:What are some of the roadblocks women have around getting in front of the camera?What are some of the myths/misconceptions about "authenticity" online?How do you go about telling a brand's story visually?Ways you can use branding photos as visual conversation starters on social media.How does a prospective client know it's time to do a brand shoot?The importance of relatable, storytelling imagery for your website and socials.How brand photography helps clients make buying decisions.What is branded photography - Suzanne share that it's professional imagery that's unique to you and your business versus say stock photography. So it's really very curated to you, your business, your why and your how of your business. And it's geared to telling that story to your ideal clients.  It's looks a little different for every business, but basically that's what you're doing because you're trying to make this connection.  First of all you need to  know who your ideal client is. That's the most important first step. Once you know that then you can start crafting this narrative that you are telling to your ideal client to guide them through the process of understanding what it is you do, how it can help them, how it can solve a problem for them, how it can bring something into their life that they need or want and help them and guide them all the way through to that buying decision so that by the time they're excited and they want to do business with you. Connect with Suzanne Rothmeyer hereWebsite: https://suzannerothmeyer.com/Social Media Connecthttps://www.instagram.com/suzannerothmeyerphoto/https://www.facebook.com/suzannerothmeyerphotoI am your host Carol Clegg.

In today’s episode our focus is on "doing less, better." My guest, Donna Dube understands that success isn't solely dependent on piling up tasks and responsibilities; it's about identifying what truly matters and channeling energy into those areas for maximum impact, evolving as an entrepreneur from overwhelmed to empowered.Donna helps business owners go from solopreneur to confident CEO without sacrificing their life, health or relationships.Topics we discuss include:Discovering how to cut back on spending too much time working "in" your business rather than "on" it.Consider how to identify tasks you delegate and which ones to retain for yourself.Key habits that successful CEOs incorporate into their weekly routines.Creating a weekly roadmap that aligns with long-term business goals.What is a CEO power hour!"So the weekly roadmap starts with what I call the CEO Power Hour, which is a name I gave for basically a CEO date. So if you think about big corporations, that CEO is meeting with the board or meeting with the VP of Sales and Marketing and the different departments to get a handle on what is happening in the business, we need to do the same even though we don't have all those VPS. So we're meeting with ourself. And it's a time each week, one hour set aside on your calendar, recurring at the same time every week. So whether that's a Monday morning for you, or a Friday afternoon, or Sunday evening, whatever that looks like, but have it at the same time every week. And it's non negotiable, meaning you don't book anything else at that time. It's like a meeting that you have to attend, right. And during that hour, you spend time reviewing and reflecting what's happening in your business now, where is it going? And what are your going to be your top three priorities for this next week. And then, after that, a little bit of self care and support. So what do you need as business owner, either from home or from your team to help you will be successful this week?"https://ceoamplify.ca/ceo-power-hourUnlock the CEO's secret to working smarter, not harder with a weekly CEO power hour!
