During Blue's Clues, Blue gets real and shares her own lessons, sacrifices and failures along the way to help you along your 'Journey'.  Blue answers a burning question from Lauren, she has an idea for a beauty business geared towards women of color. She currently works full time in the industry and is now ready to take the leap and start her own business. To help prepare her for her business, she invested in different programs to learn the strategies she thought she needed to grow, marketing, ads, social media but she still feels stuck and is lacking the confidence to get started. She shares, “I’m not sure what I should be doing or what I am doing wrong?”  Blue shares how she understands Lauren’s frustration, because we have these dreams and when we invest our hard earned money in things in hopes that that’s the missing piece and that things will work out, it can be discouraging when it doesn’t. And it can make us question if we should continue on the ‘Journey’ of bringing our dreams to reality.  Blue shares how she has spent so much on courses and programs that focused just on the strategies.  Knowing everything that you need to do for your marketing and launch doesn’t keep you from still being stuck.  You aren’t creating the results you really want because you know how to DO the work, the steps to tactically do it, but you don’t know how to show up and BE the person to actually make it become a reality.  The strategies in your business are actually the easy part.  You must start with YOURSELF!  Blue’s Clues: Start with getting real about uncovering your limiting beliefs. Align your mindset with your business goals. Understanding who you need to be in order to create meaningful action and real results. Every change in your life and business starts with investing and improving YOU! Your own personal development and transformation is the missing piece to growing your business.  Make sure you’re tuned into this full episode of Blue’s Clues.  If you’re feeling stuck and frustrated with the results in your business right now and are ready to create results you’re proud of?  Then, I invite you to take part in my 3-month intensive coaching program, Take the Leap with Blue, which offers accountability and guidance to help people gain clarity, strategy, and confidence to take action and create results you are proud of.  Apply for 1:1 or group coaching at www.taketheleapwithblue.com  Follow on Instagram at www.instagram.com/themichelleblue  Want to ask me your burning business and life questions?  Message me on Instagram and get the opportunity for your question to be aired on the next Blue's Clues.

During Blue's Clues, Blue gets real and shares her own lessons, sacrifices and failures along the way to help you along your 'Journey'. Blue answers a burning question from Tynisha, who launched her own workout line for plus sized women. She was excited to launch her business and bring it to the world. She posted on her social media but only sold a couple of leggings and didn’t reach her sales goal. She writes in frustration asking Blue, “What did I do wrong?” Blue shares how she has been through the same situation when she launched her first business, Bené Scarves. She was excited for all the orders to come through and to hit immediate success but that was the furthest from reality. During Blue’s Clues, Blue shares, “It’s not that you’re doing anything wrong, you are just not doing it enough.” You have to take massive and consistent action over time. So many times we expect immediate and instant success when we start our businesses but the reality is nothing happens overnight. You have to give yourself and your business time to grow but you also have to continue to market your business. You can have the greatest business and product but if no one knows about it, then what do you have. Blue shares her own personal failures and some of the marketing strategies and tips she used in her business to grow, reach new revenue goals and create results she was proud of. Blue’s top tips and marketing strategies: -”Niches Make Riches”- Find your target market and identify the specific customer you want to serve. -Social Media: Start and grow your social media and authentically share your process. -Publicity-Think through your public relations strategy to land press and tell your story to attract more attention, credibility and potential customers. -Word of Mouth-Is still the best form of marketing, find a way to incentivize your current customers. And MORE! Make sure you’re tuned into this full episode of Blue’s Clues.

As entrepreneurs and creative minds, we know the hustle can bring a lot of stress and a load of uncertainty. We're always aiming to grow our businesses, make more money, and make a real impact, but it's easy to forget that our top priority should be taking care of ourselves, especially our emotional and mental well-being. Here's the deal: our health is our true wealth in this game. The better we feel, both mentally and physically, the better we can show up and take our businesses to the next level. That's exactly why I brought in the amazing therapist, Ariane Byron, who specializes in working with entrepreneurs, onto ‘The Journey with Blue’. She not only inspired but she shared practical mindfulness tools and activities that we can use in our everyday lives. These activities aren't just about feeling good; they're about creating a solid foundation for success in our lives and businesses. Ariane’s Top Tips for Emotional and Mental Wellbeing: Be Honest With Yourself: The most important person to be real with, is yourself. Take time in silence and journal to be real with yourself to write out your thoughts and how you are feeling. Give Yourself Compassion: We all have a high expectation of what we want to accomplish and where we think we should be on this ‘Journey’ but we have to show ourselves grace and compassion for where we are. Identify Exactly How You Are Feeling: Check in and really identify what emotion you are feeling and what is triggering it. You can use an emotions wheel to help you identify your root feeling. Get Help: You are not meant to do this work alone. Find people, communities and/or a licensed therapist in your area that can support you in your emotional and mental health.

Is fear of failure keeping you stuck from stepping into your purpose to create the life and business of your dreams?  During Blue's Clues, Blue gets real and shares her own lessons, sacrifices and failures along the way to help you along your 'Journey'.  In this episode, Blue answers a burning question from Renae, who is ready to step into her purpose and wants to start her own wellness company. She recently heard Michelle Blue on one of her favorite podcasts share how she went through a $40,000 loss in her first business and writes in because stories of failure are keeping her stuck and afraid to start and go for her dreams.  Blue gets real and completely understands where Renae is coming from and shares how she views failure and how she allows failures to help her reach her dreams, instead of discouraging and stopping her.  Blue shares her top lessons on Failure:  -Failure is not easy, it hurts.  -Failure is an inevitable part of life and business.  -Failure doesn’t define you. Just because you failed at something does not make you a failure.  -Failure is not personal, it is just feedback of what worked and what didn’t work.  -Fail, fail fast and fail as often as you can. -Failure gets you closer to where you want to be in your life and business.  -Fear of failure is why most people don’t start, don’t step into their purpose, don’t get the most out of life.  -Failure is defined by YOU! Are you making it your end or your beginning?   If you’re ready to overcome your fear of failure and take the leap to bring your dream life and business into reality?  Then, I invite you to take part in my 3-month intensive coaching program, Take the Leap with Blue, which offers accountability and guidance to help people gain clarity, strategy, and confidence to take action and create results you are proud of.
