<\/p>\n
Tell me about yourself. <\/strong><\/p>\n My dad was an engineer and my mom was a schoolteacher and I had two brothers. But somehow I got the “entrepreneur bug,” and at about 16 I started my first business. I got certified as a swimming instructor and went from house to house, teaching swimming lessons to young kids. I liked working for myself. I liked creating my own income. I liked being able to help people.<\/p>\n I decided at one point to become a singer songwriter because I believed that if I followed my passion, it would lead me somewhere<\/p>\n . I didn’t think I would become successful, but I wanted to give it a try. That didn’t last too long, although I did that for quite a few years. Then I found myself looking for a job and ended up, again, more in an entrepreneurial role.<\/p>\n Today I have an 11-year-old daughter and my son, who is 1 year old.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n How did you go from cynical singer songwriters to financial guru?<\/strong><\/p>\n So as a cynical singer songwriter, I was really enjoying myself. I loved performing. I love to write and create. And it was such a cathartic thing to be able to express myself in a way that was fun and engaging for people. But I felt it just wasn’t fulfilling. I started looking for a job for the first time in my life, really. I had one opportunity to work at a nonprofit organization that I just wasn’t very excited about. And I knew I had a lot to offer the world.<\/p>\n I became a financial advisor and I noticed that the financial products that I was selling weren’t solving all the problems that these people had. I was working with parents of young kids in the Silicon Valley, and they were making six figures but still struggling, and still felt like they were a bad example for their kids. So I got really passionate about that. I started money coaching and started to work on their beliefs and their behaviors.<\/p>\n Eventually I started teaching that as well. And that’s how I got really into business coaching and consulting and doing seminars and trainings for women. Because I was a woman (and still am), I was able to really understand what women go through and the challenges they face, especially in business, and was able to use strategies that were more geared towards women.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cHell on Earth is meeting the person you could have become.\u201d You quote that on your blog. That’s a thought provoking statement. Can you talk about that for a minute?<\/strong><\/p>\n When I heard that statement, it was a huge turning point in my life. I was struggling as a financial advisor, making about $2,000 a month, and living in the Silicon Valley. I was at a seminar and the speaker put it on the board. I immediately had this visualization, and there I was in the clouds sitting across from a version of myself. And that version of myself was helping millions of people, was doing seminars and trainings, had books and had podcasts and radio shows and was all over really making a huge, huge impact.<\/p>\n That version of myself was looking back at me, the version that I was, and at that time I felt like I was very negative. I was focusing on the struggle. I knew that wasn’t the best version of myself. When I thought of the person I could have become, and imagining 10 years from now, having the potential to be that person but not being that person, that brought me to tears. I decided I would not sit here and let life happen to me. That’s the day I really stepped up and started doing what I truly love, and that led me to where I am today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On your website you talk about the Belief Loan Phenomenon. Can you explain that?<\/strong><\/p>\n The main principle is this: your beliefs influence your behaviors, which influences your success, which again influences your beliefs. You can think of it as an infinity sign.<\/p>\n I like to use this example because it’s simple. If you have the belief \u201cI’m bad at sales,\u201d think about how that affects your behaviors, and your behaviors are your actions. You may not make a phone call. You may not go to a networking event, or if you do, you may not ask someone for their business card or an appointment. Then once you don’t have the success, then you have another belief that perpetuates this and it’s a downward spiral of \u201cOh, well, if I’m not good at sales, that means also I’ll never make it in business\u201d or \u201cI’m not good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n Now the secret here is that even if you believe you’re not good enough, you can borrow the belief of a mentor or of other peers who’ve gotten results that you want.You don’t have to believe it yet, but borrow that belief just long enough to take the action. Then you’ll find that you get success. Then all of a sudden you believe, wow, you are good at sales.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What is the best piece of advice that you can give to women entrepreneurs?<\/strong><\/p>\n Get a mentor. You need a mentor or coach because you need to borrow the beliefs from someone and you need someone who has gotten the results that you want and has gotten other people like you results that you want. The second thing that you cannot do without having the mentor is to consistently and constantly step outside your comfort zone. People will not continue to step outside their comfort zone other on their own.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s talk about the FEMM Mentorship.<\/strong><\/p>\n The FEMM Mentorship (which stands for \u201cFemale Empowered Money Makers\u201d) is a six-month program and it’s very, very selective. I only work with women who are totally committed to growing their business and making a bigger impact. What I’m best at is helping women in service industries get paid what they’re worth when they’re really transforming lives. The sky’s the limit when you are providing incredible transformation, there’s really no cap on the amount of money you can make.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why are you participating in the WISE Symposium?<\/strong><\/p>\n Because it’s amazing. I love events like this where you’re really helping female entrepreneurs grow their business. So many women out there have so much potential to make such a bigger difference and they’re really phenomenal what they do, but they don’t necessarily have the tools. I’m so passionate about giving them specific, tangible tools that they can apply right away to go stand out, to position themselves as experts, to be able to attract the people in their world who they want to attract.<\/p>\n I know there are incredible women who are going to be at WISE Symposium, and I can’t wait to inspire all of you to go make more money and help more people. I love to be part of that, and I can’t wait to meet you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why is it so important for women to support other women, especially in business?<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s so important for women to support other women because we need the support. Women are constantly beating themselves up. And it’s very sad to me that women will knock other women down or not support other women when we need the support so desperately. But women are constantly beating themselves up. They constantly have doubts.<\/p>\n There’s so much we could do together to create massive transformation in the world. It has to be about coming together, supporting each other and creating massive impact. And this only happens when we come together to do it as one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kathleen Shannon and Emily Thompson run \u201cBeing Boss,\u201d a podcast for creative entrepreneurs, freelancers, and side-hustlers. The podcast, which launched in January of 2015, has over 200 episodes and more than 6 million downloads. Shannon and Thompson are also the authors of \u201cBeing Boss: Take Control of Your Work and Live Life on Your Terms.\u201d They are keynote speakers at the 2019 WISE Symposium. Syracuse Woman Magazine asked them to share a bit about what they do.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tell me about yourselves. What is your background? Education? Family? How did you end up where you are?<\/strong><\/p>\n Kathleen: I grew up labeled as a \u201ccreative\u201d and that has always been fostered throughout my upbringing. I received a degree from the University of Oklahoma in fine arts and after college started working as a graphic designer. After developing my profession as an art director at an advertising agency my sister and I, in 2011, decided to start our own branding agency called Braid Creative. Braid is where we help creatives, small businesses and organizations blend their authentic personality into their brand and position themselves as experts in their industry. I don\u2019t come from a family of entrepreneurs, so it was a big deal for us to start a business \u2014 and a lot of what I share has been my journey of figuring it out as I go.<\/p>\n Emily: Whereas Kathleen was always \u201ccreative,\u201d I was always independent and entrepreneurial (but also not coming from a family of entrepreneurs). I was always bossy and wanting to do things my own way. Even though I have a degree in geography, I had my first business as a teenager, and always knew business would be a part of my life. After graduating college, I worked for 10 years helping creatives start online businesses by building websites and guiding them through the world of online business. It wasn\u2019t until recently that I was able to weave together my two passions, geography and business, into Almanac Supply Company, where I make and curate products that help people connect with nature.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n How did you come together?<\/strong><\/p>\n We started reading each other\u2019s blogs in 2008. We would regularly comment on each other\u2019s posts and eventually started meeting up for friendly chats over Skype. We became what we call \u201cbusiness besties\u201d and started sharing the highs and lows of business. We were trading tips on what was working, what wasn\u2019t, and seeking insights from each other.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What made you want to start a podcast?<\/strong><\/p>\n Emily has always had her finger on the pulse and pitched the idea of a podcast. The \u201cblogosphere\u201d had become saturated and full of surface-level content sponsored by big name brands. We missed sharing the real deal and there was a space in the podcast world for us to publish our behind-the-scenes, \u201cbusiness bestie\u201d conversations.<\/p>\n The podcast started as a way to share our expertise and eventually turned into a business venture of its own.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do you have a favorite episode? What makes that one your favorite?<\/strong><\/p>\n We have so many favorite episodes \u2014 it\u2019s hard to choose! We\u2019ve had the opportunity to interview brilliant minds like Dr. Bren\u00e9 Brown, Marie Forleo, Ramit Sethi, Rebecca Jarvis, and more!\u00a0We also love chatting with up-and-coming creatives who are \u201cin it\u201d alongside with us \u2014 bosses who are committed to doing the work and sharing what\u2019s working (and what\u2019s not) in the process.<\/p>\n One of our most popular episodes is Episode #79: The Chalkboard Method. In this episode we detail our number one tool for making space for our goals \u2014 and it\u2019s by literally making space for them on a chalkboard (or whiteboard, or corkboard) in your office!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n How did the book come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n We always played around with the idea of writing a book, and in late, 2016 Kathleen drew a little book illustration on her chalkboard \u2014 the space where she tracks and makes space for goals. The very next day an agent who listened to the podcast and believed in our voice emailed asking if we were interested in writing a book. We put together a proposal and pitched it \u2014 just a couple of months later we had a book deal with Running Press and our book, \u201cBeing Boss: Take Control of Your Work and Live Life on Your Terms,\u201d published in April 2018.<\/p>\n Many times you\u2019ll hear authors talk about how hard it is to write a book, but we loved the process of getting to write with each other. It was a truly collaborative effort where we were able to hone in on all the things we had been chatting about for years on the podcast and put it into a book \u2014 from cultivating confidence and establishing productive habits and routines to creating healthy boundaries and finding balance between doing the work and living the life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tell me about the other services you offer \u2014 the classes and trainings.<\/strong><\/p>\n Being Boss is where we talk about the ins and outs of running a business \u2014 but neither of us have business degrees! We\u2019re doing this on our own terms and figuring it out as we go. So we\u2019ve taken the tools and resources we\u2019ve used to set our intentions, make big goals, track our money, create marketing and revenue plans, and package it all up in what we call a CEO Day Kit.<\/p>\n We take one day per quarter to put on our CEO Day hat and this is where these worksheets and resources keep us on track with meeting our goals and stay focused on the not-so-creative part of our businesses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What does Being Boss hope to accomplish?<\/strong><\/p>\n The workforce is changing. More and more people are beginning to work for themselves for the first time ever and we want to help them feel good and work hard and make money doing what they love… \u00a0like a boss! We want to show up, generously share what we\u2019ve learned along the way, and support our listeners on their own entrepreneurial journey.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why are you participating in the WISE Symposium?<\/strong><\/p>\n We love participating in events like the WISE Symposium. Being Boss attracts a lot of women and it\u2019s because we crave conversation and connection. Women entrepreneurs will change the world and we\u2019re here for it!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cBeing Boss is living what you love.\u201d What does that mean to you? How can we achieve that? Is it attainable for everyone?<\/strong><\/p>\n For us, it\u2019s about knowing what you want and unapologetically going after it. It\u2019s about setting up systems, implementing habits and creating boundaries that keep you motivated, inspired and confident. Though we do believe that employing these things to \u201clive what you love\u201d is possible for everyone, we do like to hone in on the particular struggles of the entrepreneur. And truth be told: being an entrepreneur isn\u2019t for everyone, and that\u2019s okay. But if it is for you, it\u2019s time to do the work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why is it so important for women to support other women, especially in business?<\/strong><\/p>\n Women face unique challenges \u2014 many of us carry babies, manage our households and<\/em>work full-time jobs. It\u2019s a lot to juggle. So it\u2019s important that we have conversations about how we balance family with our careers, and how we make time to take care of ourselves while taking care of business. It\u2019s also important that we have honest conversations about money and how to make more of it! But this isn\u2019t limited to just women supporting women \u2014 it\u2019s about getting men using their privilege to join the conversation and support us too!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Robyn Crane Robyn Crane is a financial expert known for hosting the TV show \u201cThe Financial G-Spot\u201d and the radio show \u201cLet\u2019s Talk Money.\u201d She has written four best selling books, the latest of which is \u201cMake More Money, Help More People.\u201d Her successful FEMM Mentorship program has helped women entrepreneurs double or triple their…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[99,101],"tags":[802,804,803,805,801],"class_list":["post-2314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-features","tag-being-boss","tag-emily-thompson","tag-kathleen-shannon","tag-robyn-crane","tag-wise-symposium"],"gutentor_comment":0,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.syracusewomanmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/WISE-Logo.png?fit=2160%2C1080&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2318,"url":"https:\/\/www.syracusewomanmag.com\/?p=2318","url_meta":{"origin":2314,"position":0},"title":"LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: A note from WISE","author":"Sarah Hall","date":"April 5, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"Editor\u2019s note: In honor of our WISE edition this month, instead of my blathering, I\u2019m giving over this space to Nicole Samolis.
