If you followed along with our Crypto Curious series in February and March 2022, you know that me and my favorite crypto-savvy co host Daniel Di Venere *love* nerding out about NFTs. And since we closed out the series just a few weeks ago, there are plenty of things we’d like to update you on… which is why Daniel and I decided to break out our podcasting mics for this off-the-cuff bonus episode! This is the start of Crypto Conversations , a periodic series in which Daniel and I invite you to lis...

I’m just going to say it: I believe that self awareness is the fuel your business needs to be successful. Without self awareness, you won’t be able to reach the goals you’ve set, impact the amount of lives you want to, or make the amount of money you want to. That’s why I’m excited to share with you a conversation I had on the Callie Ammons Show about this topic, because I truly believe it’s important for business owners to understand. In this interview, Callie and I discuss: How to live with de...

Have you ever worried about staying relevant in your industry? I’ve been there. Sometimes as business owners, we get into routines in our content creation and our marketing. It’s “just the way we do it,” and we don’t consider changing… but friend, that is DETRIMENTAL to our business, even if it feels safe. In order to stay relevant and continue making the max amount of sales for your business, you need to embrace the “next big thing.” It’s never too late to learn something new or jump on a trend...

Every life-changing adventure, decision, or opportunity I’ve had started off with a side hustle. In case you’re unfamiliar with that term, a side hustle is a small business that is *usually* not your main source of income while you get it off the ground. Side hustles are not guaranteed to be a full-time career, but you’ll be lucky if it becomes one. It could take 2 months, 2 years, or 20 years…but as long as you are moving forward in the right direction that is all you can do. Remember: you are ...

Does Instagram REALLY matter? I was thinking about this topic the other day because let me deal it to you straight: many business owners have personal opinions around specific platforms and it’s affecting their decision-making when it comes to using social media for their business. Our objective as business owners is to make decisions that benefit our business… personal feelings aside. We have to CHOOSE to market our business using the best outlets available to us. 100 years ago, it was via news...

What most people don’t know is that when you start a business, you have to make the conscious decision to become a marketer. Because as much as you love what you do (whether it be painting, copywriting, cooking, photography, business coaching or anything else), the reality is that without marketing, you won’t ever get to do it! Not as a business, anyway. That’s why you have to make the conscious decision to SELL your products or services… You need to market your brand in order to get customers, ...

Oftentimes as business owners, we’re afraid to try something new. But isn’t that what entrepreneurship is all about? Trying new things, making mistakes, learning from them, then trying again?

In this episode, I’m...

Pat Flynn (Founder of SmartPassiveIncome & SwitchPod) once told me, “Riches are in niches,” and he couldn’t be more right. Let’s dig a little deeper into what this means for you… >>If you speak to everyone, you’re actually speaking to no one.<< That’s why I tell every business owner (yes, you too!) to identify their Ideal Client , and speak specifically to them… and that might even include references to Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre! Want to learn more about how to speak to your Ideal C...

“What should I do if the biggest person who critiques my work is my spouse?” “How do I respond when my mom challenges my goals?” “What should I say when my loved ones don’t support my dreams?” Ouch. These questions may sting to read, and they’re sadly very common for many business owners to ask themselves. What SHOULD you do when your loved ones don’t support your dreams? I have a lot of opinions on this topic… which is why I’m excited for you to hear my response in today’s episode. It’s a recor...

Do you have someone in your life who, whenever you see them, spend time with them, and speak with them, you feel completely fulfilled and happy they’re in your life?

I can almost guarantee that every new business owner asked the question, “Where do I even START?” at the beginning of their journey and wished they had a roadmap to follow. I know I did when I first started my photography business 15 years ago! >>With a decade of entrepreneurial experience under my belt and having made plenty of mistakes along the way, I feel confident in saying I know how to build a business from the ground up.<< The plus side is that I did it without talent, resour...

I’ll be honest, dear podcast listener… I need to come correct. Last week, I released a podcast episode titled The Secret to Dealing with Social Media Haters , and I didn’t serve you or the rest of the Jasmine Star Show podcast community right. >>In last week’s podcast, I discussed how to let the comments from social media haters fall off your back… but I didn’t give you tactical tips on what to say to them.<< When I discussed this episode with my twin sister, Bianca Olthoff , she ope...

Haters. Like every household has dirty laundry, we’ve all got ‘em. And just like the hamper of overflowing laundry that remains ignored in my closet, I also choose to turn the other cheek when haters troll me on the Internet! >>It’s not because I think I’m cool… It's because I don’t have time to worry about the opinions of someone who is not paying my bills.<< So not only do I ignore them, I don’t even read them. That’s why we’re going to start off this conversation with welcoming So...

“The best time to start was yesterday.

A few weeks ago, our family went to Las Vegas, Nevada. As I walked through Caesar’s Palace with my daughter, I had a distinct memory of my grandmother from when I was a little girl. I turned to JD and asked, “Do you think we knew how special the moments with grandma were?” >>I felt like every moment with her was a golden nugget, and I suddenly realized that though we had the golden nuggets, but we didn’t know their value until after they were gone.<< And THAT, my friend, is what this...
