Scaling a $1.3M Business Beyond the Glass Ceiling with Tactical Feminine Leadership

Kate Johnson (00:00) I met Jessica for the first time probably 20 years ago I used to freelance for one of her magazines that she used to own back in like 2009, I wanted to hire her when she had her marketing business, but I had just started my business and I didn't have the money to hire her. just knew her reputation as a successful female business owner. And I really like being around people like that. Hi, my name is Kate Johnson. I am the owner of the Bridal Beauty team and Glossed Finishing Studio and I live just outside of Chicago, I had grown one of my businesses to about $1.3 million a year, and I've had it for 15 years. I couldn't quite figure out how to get to that next level where I now have two young children, and I was trying to figure out how to be able to have a life with my children and also maintain having a successful business. I always say, feel like you can see through the glass ceiling, but you can't figure out how to get there. And you just need somebody to like show you that there really is no glass ceiling, that they just need to like lift you up and get you there it irritates me to have to like lean into that feminine things. It's not who I am. so when I went to this initial call with Jess, I was like, okay, they are really talking about learning how to tap into that feminine energy. And I clearly don't know how to do it. what she really taught us was to understand the difference of really how powerful women are back to like caveman days The women ran the tribes, because the men were off hunting. how are they so powerful that they could run whole communities, and how do we show our confidence and all of that and still be able to moms and other things like that. she really gave the tools, like actual tools for us to practice and learn to be able to change our business. she also gives you actual. goalposts to hit and achieve and to be able like, hey, you got to go here. Now how do you get here? Versus like a lot of other coaches and a lot of other trainings, it's just like in theory. She really was very practical and tactical, which was great. I really mostly worked with Amy and Jess. She was so great at responding and so helpful. I have two toddlers and run two businesses. And so there were a couple of times when I would have to call her or email her and be like, I'm so embarrassed. I know that you guys have already told us this information, but I can't find it. Or I don't know what to do here." And she was always so kind if you're a business owner and you need to figure out how to get to that next level and you have tried everything or you feel like you've tried everything or you just feel like you're at a loss, this is definitely the program to pick. You're going to refine everything that you know about your business. You're going to understand more about who you are and you're going to build a tribe of people that really are thinking outside the box and are thinking bigger and more powerfully than most people in business to be able to get to that next level.
