הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיLet’s be real: for many small business owners, bookkeeping feels like a necessary evil - a box to check for taxes, a task to avoid until it's urgent. But what if your financials could actually become your secret weapon to business growth? This week, I’m joined by Gala McCray, founder of Two Arrows, a boutique financial services firm that supports creative and service-based entrepreneurs. We’re diving deep into why financial clarity isn’t just about taxes or compliance, and how it’s a core leadership tool that helps you make bold, strategic decisions with confidence. From recognizing the true cost of servicing a client to knowing when (and how much) to invest in marketing, Gala shares actionable tips to help you shift from “doing” to leading. Whether you're just getting a handle on your numbers or ready to scale, this episode will empower you to own your role as CEO. Episode Highlights: Why shifting from “doer” to decision-maker changes everything The core financial reports every entrepreneur should review monthly How to stop being “gun-shy” with money and start making empowered decisions What marketing KPIs you should track and how to actually evaluate ROI How a CEO mindset and diversified income transform your ability to grow The truth about how much you should be spending on marketing If you loved this episode, I’d be so grateful if you’d subscribe and leave a review.

Here’s the truth most digital marketers won’t tell you: social media can’t be your only strategy. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I’ve actually grown my business. Hint: it’s through in-person connections, referrals, and showing up offline just as much as I do online. If you’re a service-based business owner looking for real, sustainable growth (and not just chasing the algorithm), this episode will show you how to bring the human connection back into your marketing, and why that’s the key to long-term success. You’ll walk away with practical, low-pressure ways to network (even if you’re introverted), how to turn coffee chats into clients, and how to use offline moments to strengthen your online presence. Episode Highlights: Why word-of-mouth and referrals still outperform ads for many service providers How to reframe networking as relationship-building, not sales Easy networking tips for introverts (spoiler: bring a wing person!) How to follow up after an event (and why that matters more than your first impression) Creative ways to incorporate offline networking into your online marketing strategy Resources Leading Lady Facebook Group Episode 29 featuring Lauren Najar and Authentic Lead Gen Strategies Taste of Pasadena – May 15, 2025 – Hosted by the Pasadena Business Association Coffee News Maryland Want help with your own marketing strategy?

This episode is a raw and honest reflection on what I’ve learned after a full year of showing up consistently to record Stop the Scroll . It’s personal, it’s practical, and it’s exactly what I wish someone had told me before I started. If you’ve ever thought about launching a podcast (or blog, YouTube channel, newsletter…whatever your version of showing up is), this one’s for you. I’m talking through the lessons, the systems that saved me, and how messy action is the only way forward. And YES, I’m getting vulnerable and a little bit in my feels because this podcast has been a game changer for me AND my business. If you’ve been here since episode 1 or you’re brand new, THANK YOU. I’m so grateful you're along for this ride. Episode Highlights: Why I launched a podcast and the accountability that made it possible The marketing muscle of consistency—and why it's not just a mindset The importance of not letting perfect be the enemy of good How batching, planning, and Airtable keep this show running and the tools I use to make it easy The wild (and amazing) growth I’ve seen on my website and email list since launching What I'd do differently (spoiler: not much—because messy action wins) Go ahead and subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a single episode. If this episode resonated with you, I’d love if you left a review, shared it with a friend, or sent me a DM with your favorite takeaway. Here’s to year 2 of Stop the Scroll—and doing it messy.

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיDoes social media feel daunting? Like a chore you just don’t want to do? My kiddo often says he doesn’t want to do things that he knows he SHOULD do because they’re boring. I don’t think social media is boring but I do think for many entrepreneurs it can feel like a chore, like they don’t get anything out of it. But with that attitude, of course , you’re going to feel that way. If you’ve ever felt like your social media growth is stuck , you’re not alone. The reality? Many business owners unintentionally hold themselves back with habits that don’t serve their goals. So, how can we shift our mindset and strategies to ensure we're showing up consistently and building quality engagement on social media? Tune into this week’s episode to learn about the biggest mistakes I see people make on social media—things like inconsistent posting, ignoring engagement, and chasing viral moments. Plus, I’ll give you simple, realistic ways to shift your strategy so you can actually start seeing results. Episode Highlights: Why consistency is king (and how often you really need to post) The engagement mistake that kills your reach (and how to fix it in 10 minutes a day) Why going viral isn’t a marketing strategy—and what to focus on instead How analytics can make or break your growth (and what metrics actually matter) Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and if you really love what you hear, leave a review over on Apple!

I’ve had so many people ask about the value of LinkedIn and well, if it’s done thoughtfully and strategically, there’s a LOT of opportunity there. Fun fact: LinkedIn has over a billion users and less than 1% of them post regularly so there’s opportunity for reach and engagement abound. In comparison to other platforms that feel like you have to post 5 times per day just to get seen, Linkedin tends to have a more engaged audience looking for likeminded experts for networking, personal development and business growth. This week, we’re sharing how to get started with Linkedin - even if you already have a profile that’s been stagnant for years. We’re also sharing client success stories wherein LinkedIn has helped their businesses grow. Tune in to learn how LinkedIn can be a powerful tool in your marketing arsenal. Episode Highlights: Why LinkedIn has an untapped organic opportunity compared to other platforms Why thought leadership and video content are crucial for engagement What makes an optimal Linkedin Profile The SEO benefits of Linkedin for brand awareness and credibility Why you should focus on your personal brand first and your company page second.

Facebook is removing fact checkers, TikTok…whatever, and we’re not even touching the Instagram changes yet. Social media can feel like a dumpster fire lately. I’ve been saying it for a while, but lately, it feels more accurate than ever. So what do we do? How do we move our business forward and market ourselves when it feels like the platforms we’ve used for the past 15+ years are stacked against us and maybe, depending on your identity or politics, feel like they’re stacked against our values? I see you. This is a solid reminder that social media is rented space. So this week, we’re discussing ways to promote your business if you’re having qualms with some of the social activities of late. Values matter, and it’s okay if you want to take time away from these spaces on the internet - I promise your business won’t fail. Episode Highlights: Discussion on recent changes in Facebook's policies and their business implications. Importance of diversifying marketing strategies beyond social media.

However, imagine how it feels to create something, only to see someone else create something that feels… like the same content that you put out there. I saw a comment on threads recently that inspired this, about how a woman had gone viral with a reel, and a few days later, someone took her reel, and caption and basically put out the same thing and also… went viral. The copy cat, had more followers (by tens of thousands), and the thread I saw was like, “if you’ve amassed that much of a following, why would you feel the need to copy others? How are you lacking originality?” This week, we’re talking about just that. The pitfalls of plagiarizing and strategies to use the content that inspires you and your competitor research to inspire your own unique brand content without being a copycat. Let’s cultivate our own authentic and engaging online presences without yanking content from the FYP or Explore tab. In a world saturated with content, your unique voice is your strongest asset. By avoiding the temptation to copy competitors and instead focusing on carving out your own niche, you can build stronger relationships with your audience, foster trust, and set the stage for long-term success. Remember, authenticity isn't just a buzzword—it's a powerful strategy for sustainable growth. Key Points The negative impacts of copying competitors' content. Importance of understanding your unique audience and brand identity. Conducting competitor analysis to find content opportunities. Tips for repurposing high-performing content. Like what you hear?

Spoiler alert: It's all about those Google Reviews! I was recently in a committee meeting for my local business association and we were talking about to how to highlight members. “Could we ask them to share reviews with us and then we share them on social media?” This stopped me in my tracks because what good is that? We should be encouraging people to leave Google reviews of our member businesses. I had to remind the committee members (all lovely, incredible business people) that the value of a Google Business Review is much higher than us sharing it around our social media profiles.
