The Selah Entrepreneur - Simple & Sustainable Online Business for Women Over 50

Marta Goertzen | Business Clarity Coach | Online Business for Women Over 50

** Online Business ** Women Over 50 ** Health & Wellness ** Rested Entrepreneurs ** Have you been in business awhile and now feel stuck and unsure of how to get unstuck? Have you ever wondered if being over 50 means it’s too late to make big changes in your life and business? Have you taken all the business courses and still haven’t found the answer you are looking for? Are you struggling to balance all the hats you wear of running your online business, caregiving, taking care of your home, let alone taking care of your own chronic health issues? Is the stress and anxiety of “All The Things” just too much some days? Welcome! Please know that you are not alone. Here on the The Selah Entrepreneur podcast, my goal is to help you find ways to get unstuck in your business, cut through all the noise of conflicting advice, get clarity about your online business, and learn ways to reduce the stress and overwhelm you feel as you try to take care of your family, your health, your clients, and your business. Hi, I’m Marta Goertzen, entrepreneur and online business owner since 2008. I’m also a dog mom, fibro fighter, photographer, and caregiver. As a multi-passionate entrepreneur, it took me years to discover what I wanted to be when my business and I grew up. Getting clear about the work I truly enjoy, the type of business that works for me, and learning how to manage caregiving along with running my business has been a long journey. One I truly believe was well worth taking. The clarity I longed for didn’t come until I learned how important it is to add intentional rest to my schedule and give myself time to think, pray, and connect with other like-minded women who understood this crazy entrepreneurial journey. Developing a habit of rest gave me the mental space I needed to ask better, deeper questions that helped me finally see the possibilities of what my business could be like and take action instead of just hoping things would change. I’d love to share how you can find that clarity too. If you are ready for a business that works for you in the current season of life you are in. Then it’s time to stop buying all the courses, filling countless journals, and wishing that something would change. Let’s roll up our sleeves, ask those hard questions, as we sojourn together through life and entrepreneurship as women over 50. Join me as we talk about running an online business, managing stress and anxiety, stepping into the calling on our hearts, and taking the action needed to find the clarity we’ve been looking for, all without needing to burn the candle at both ends. Along the way we meet other women as they share their stories of clarity, calling and the journey it’s taken to get to where they are today. Welcome to the Selah Entrepreneur podcast. >>Website: https://SelahStudios.co >> IG: https://Instagram.com/martagoertzen >> FB: https://Facebook.com/selahstudiosco >> Pinterest: https://Pinterest.com/selahstudiosco >> Are you stuck on a hamster wheel of doubt and confusion, feeling like you’re getting nowhere in your business?

52 || You Need to Embrace Your Entrepreneurial Journey Timeline
Own your entrepreneurial journey! It's your journey, no one else's. In this episode, I discuss the importance of mapping out and accepting your entrepreneurial journey timeline. So often we move from one thing to the next without taking the time to reflect on everything we've accomplished and learned along the way. By going back and outlining the major events, projects, lessons, wins and setbacks year-by-year, you'll gain a greater appreciation for how far you've come. This exercise allows you to celebrate your achievements, identify what worked well or didn't, and uncover insights to apply moving forward. My challenge to you is to carve out time to map your own entrepreneurial timeline - it's an enlightening process that will help you get okay with your unique business path and decide what adjustments you may want to make. AND.... don't forget to revisit and update your timeline regularly too! Keep updating it with what you learn moving forward.

49 || Reality Check - Sometimes You Need To Hustle In Business
To Hustle or Not to Hustle That is the Question… or is it?  I’ve had a bit of a growing pet peeve with the anti-hustle message I see everywhere. I get it and actually agree with some perspectives I encounter online.  However, my beef with what I’m seeing is that we are not using the word hustle correctly.  Stress and hustle. We actually need both. A life completely stress free is not only boring, it’s not healthy. We also need hustle. It’s often the motivator we need to get stuff done, meet deadlines, or simply to push ourselves to do a little better.  The problem arises when hustle becomes the norm. It’s an everyday thing that we never take a break from.  Join me as we dive into the anti-hustle message that we everywhere and how it's not exactly accurate. It's also a discouraging message for women entrepreneurs who feel they are doing something wrong because they are in a season of hustle.    Links & Resources:  Read the transcript here: https://SelahStudios.co/49.Ep. 27; You Need a Simple Weekly Business Examen & Review PracticeEP. 19: Rest IS an Action Step: Self-Care and the Caregiving EntrepreneurEp.14: Simplifying Self-Care for Busy Entrepreneurs: Create a Take-A-Break KitEP. 3: Mini-Retreats: 3 Reasons You Need to Schedule Regular Breaks From Your Business ******* Let's Connect: Instagram: https://instagram.com/martagoertzenFacebook: https://Facebook.com/selahstudiosco ******* Are you ready to find clarity for your business and website?

47 || It's Time to Stop Playing Quiet and Make Yourself Heard
I’m pretty sure you’ve heard this common phrase from coaches, “Stop playing small.” It’s a phrase that urges us to stop playing small and dream bigger. While the intention behind this advice is to push women to realize their full potential, it can sometimes evoke mixed feelings, particularly for those grappling with fear and self-doubt. It definitely does for me.  But is that what needs to happen? Is it that we are playing small or not dreaming big enough?  Maye, maybe not. As you navigate through the journey of entrepreneurship, it's essential to address the mindset surrounding marketing and how you perceive it. Maybe you view marketing as something pushy or salesy, akin to being a used car salesman. However, a shift in perspective reveals that marketing is about storytelling and making genuine offers to serve and help people. One of the significant challenges that hold women back from using their voice to market and share about their business, is the fear of vulnerability. The fear of rejection, criticism, or not being accepted can often lead women to play it safe, staying within their comfort zones and not fully expressing their expertise and unique offerings to the world. It's crucial to recognize the importance of moving beyond this fear and embracing the concept of amplifying your voice. This involves stepping out of the shadows, being more visible, and showcasing your value and how you can positively impact others.  When you use your voice to talk about what you do, the problems you solve, and who you can help, you not only empower yourself but also create meaningful connections and opportunities to help and connect with others. So is it that you need to “stop playing small”? Or is it you need to move past the fear, and “stop playing quiet”?   Links & Resources:  Business Coach & Mentor Taylor Lee: https://TheTaylorLee.comJoin me for the first Business Clarity Conversations gathering on April 18, 2024 - reserve your seat at https://SelahStudios.co/conversationsRead the transcript here: https://SelahStudios.co/47. ******* Let's Connect: Instagram: https://instagram.com/martagoertzenFacebook: https://Facebook.com/selahstudiosco ******* Are you ready to find clarity for your business and website?

I’m encouraging you to  examine the type of rest they need and give you a few practical strategies for incorporating rest into your daily schedules.

I’m sharing what happened to me recently and how taking small action steps helped me regain momentum and move forward in my business.

36 || Are You Feeling Trapped Between The Business You Have And The One You Want?
Are you feeling trapped between the business you have and the dream, and potential, of what your business could be? Have you ever felt stuck in your business, unsure of the next steps to take or the direction to go? If so, you're not alone. Many entrepreneurs, especially women over 50, experience periods of uncertainty and longing for clarity in their business journey. In this episode of The Selah Entrepreneur podcast, I’m sharing some of my own experiences and what I’ve learned as I continue to navigate the journey of clarity in business.  If you have ever felt confused and wondered…   My business is a gift, and an answer to prayer, and iI don't want to take it for granted. But why am I struggling with what my next steps should be? Why do I feel so stuck? Am I being ungrateful?It’s time to pivot my business and uplevel my services, but boy does that feel risky. I’m longing for a change but can’t express yet where this desire of change is coming from and what exactly that change needs to be. I just keep hearing myself say, “Something has to change, this isn’t working.”I don’t know how to market my business, make plans about my business and the thought of “putting myself out there” for work that I know longer enjoy… there’s no motivation there, only confusion and dread.You are not alone and these questions are actually good! They mean you are ready to do the work it takes to find your clarity and grow as an entrepreneur.  But what do you do until you have that clarity?  FIRST don’t give upSECOND know that you are not alone in this “stuckness”THIRD take a moment to pause, take a deep breath, and just be.  Learning to pause and not race to the next thing is huge and is one of the first things I suggest you learn in your clarity journey.  So, what steps should you take to find clarity and stop feeling trapped?  Get real about a few things. Does that answer surprise you?  You are different from the person who started her business a couple of years ago. You have changed, you have grown, you have learned things! But, your business hasn’t kept up. You are not 30 anymore! Your needs are different, your family dynamics are different, your health may be different. All of these issues and needs need to be taken into consideration even though you may resist it!You CAN dream (you are allowed and should want to) about a different type of business. If you are dreaming about something different and it’s a thought that won’t leave you, this is something to pay attention to. Don’t ignore it. If you're feeling the pull for change in your business, this episode is for you. When you find your clarity it leads to a newfound confidence, hope, and excitement about the potential of your business.  I’m also sharing with you about my Business Clarity Breakthrough Coaching Program, designed to help entrepreneurial women, just like you, identify your next steps and unlock your business's true potential.
