It’s the era of girlbosses: so why are women still not paying each other?

It’s the era of girlbosses: so why are women still not paying each other?

by Rachel Kurzyp | 14 Feb 2019

Female small business owners aren’t paying each other and how this is having a negative effect on the success of women-led businesses in Australia.

I help women launch a signature service, confidently create content + book dream their clients. Are you ready to have the financial freedom you need to live your multi-passionate lifestyle?

Instagram post 2190293924173374354_10848464103 Do you have a content marketing strategy? Many business owners believe they have a content marketing strategy when, in fact, they don’t. You see, there is a huge difference between creating content and content marketing. Creating an Insta post or blog piece that gets a lot of eyeballs is great. But if this piece isn’t a part of a larger plan to grow your email list or sell your eCourse, then it’s not going to add value for your community or do anything significant for your business. I see too many business owners investing time, money, resources and energy into creating content, only to end up frustrated when they don’t get sales, leaving them feeling like it’s not worth the effort. Content marketing is the process of creating content with the goal of attracting your dream clients and showing them why they should work with you or buy from you. Your content marketing strategy should support your business goals. So, if you want to make $10k selling your online product then your content would need to work hard to build a community, show the benefits of using it and tell people how they can buy it. This means you wouldn’t be posting about your morning coffee or what you think about the latest Dove ad campaign unless it was going to help sell your product. And this is what I see a lot of business owners doing. They share interesting bite-sizes pieces of content, but because they don’t have a strategy, they don’t get the results they want. Your content marketing strategy isn’t a nice-to-have it’s essential to running a successful business. It’s one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways for you to establish trust and likeability in your niche. If you’re posting, sharing and creating content on the daily but aren’t converting followers into clients, it’s time for you to get serious about your content marketing strategy. My Create Content with Confidence eCourse launches next Thursday and is the step-by-step guide you need to create a strategy you’ll actually use. Head to my bio to join the waitlist and get access to exclusive bonuses, including copywriting cheat sheets + 1:1 coaching with me.⁠

Instagram post 2184463557869944761_10848464103 My business life felt the same as my 9-5 life, BUT I didn’t know how to change it. Even though I had degrees in Journalism and Business on top of years working for someone else, it didn’t prepare me for running a business. I had no clue how to enforce late fees, negotiate deadlines or create contracts. Not to mention, articulate my skills and expertise, get great testimonials, pick a niche and package my services. I relied solely on referrals and accepted any work that was sent my way. I kept telling myself that the churning in my gut was normal. That not having a life was how I paid my dues. That I wasn’t ready to niche and start saying no. I still remember the day everything DID change for me. I was so exhausted, I couldn’t decide what brand of cheese to buy for the pizza I was making that night, so I just stood in the supermarket aisle and cried. It was the wakeup call I needed. I was never going to work with purpose-driven clients, go on a holiday or have financial freedom unless I completely transformed my business. So I created work-life boundaries, stopped customising every job, learned what content sells and focused on building the best customer experience possible. And do you know what happened? High-quality, high-paying clients started coming to me. My online community grew. My content marketing worked. I started getting regular writing gigs. I was asked to speak at events and workshops. I began writing a book and launched a podcast. My business was providing me with financial freedom AND supporting my multi-passionate lifestyle. Are you ready to say goodbye to b-grade clients who leave you feeling frustrated, exhausted and deflated and keep you stuck in the entrepreneur hamster wheel? My 12-week one-on-one coaching program, The Creative Freedom Method, will teach you how to make a game plan, build a signature service, create content with confidence and book your dream clients. Applications are open. Send me a DM with the word, YES and I’ll send you a link to the form. #scaleyourbusiness #theimperfectboss #businessmindset #entreprenuerjourney #onlinemarketingstrategies #manifestationbabe #inspiredtoinspire #thinkbigger #lmbdw
Instagram post 2182267408852748853_10848464103 Here’s how you pronounce my last name and other weird things you should know about me.⁠ ⁠ Hey new friends 👋🏼⁠ ⁠ In case we haven’t DM’d yet, I wanted to share a bit more about me.⁠ ⁠ 🍹 My last name is Polish, and you pronounce it cush-ip. Kind of like if you put the words cushion and zip together.⁠ ⁠ 🍹 I was born in Tasmania but now live on the mainland aka Melbourne, Australia (I have no idea what we talked about before MONA).⁠ ⁠ 🍹 Travelling is my drug of choice: I’ve travelled to nearly 40 countries and have lived in England and Bangladesh.⁠ ⁠ 🍹 I’m the mother of 33 indoor plants. I’ve named them all, and I give them words of encouragement on watering days. I swear that’s why they grow so well.⁠ ⁠ 🍹 I work from my home office in matching tracksuit sets. Right now I’m rocking a grandma rose vibe, but next year I think I want to try Kermit green. ⁠ ⁠ 🍹 I’m obsessed with scarves and own more than I ever could hope to wear. Friends I’ve known for 8+ years are still like “Is that new? I haven’t seen that one before.” ⁠ ⁠ What weird and wonderful things should I know about you?⁠ ⁠ Send me a DM and say hi.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #socialmediaforbusiness #smallbizmarketing #creativebusinessowner #creativesofinstagram #passporttocreativity #onlinebusinesscoach #onlinemarketingstrategies #socialmedialife #socialmediatools #businessownerlife #keepsocialmediasocial #instagramtipsforbusiness #instagramtipsandtricks #instagramtip #socialmedia101 #fridayintros #chaseyourdreams #thatsdarlingmovement #thinkbigger #caffeinateandconquer #theimperfectboss #lifeofafreelancer #beauthentic #fearlessmotivation #inspiredtoinspire #entreprenuerjourney #manifestationbabe #communityovercompetition #hustlinwomen #staybossyladies ⁠
