Welcome to HER FIRST MILLION with Amanda Bedell!

In this episode, Amanda talks about selling her multi-7-figure bakery business, and hearing the words no one wants to hear, "you have a malignant tumor."

Throughout the grueling hospital visits and recuperation periods, she was struck by moments of clarity and inspiration. Ideas that would shape the future of her business began to crystallize during these challenging times.

You never know where a spark of innovation can come from.

For Amanda, one vivid picture came while she was sitting on a swing under a willow tree overlooking the Oregon coast range at her parents' farm.

Yes, inspiration can be found in times of rest.

And, it can strike at times when you're surrounded by like-minded business owners who are building badass businesses like you.

Welcome Listeners!

Hello and welcome to Her First Million! I’m your host, Amanda Bedell, and I’m your resident Business Chaos Sorter. Over the past several months, I’ve been contemplating how to better support more business owners like you. To do that, I have to get real about a really painful time in my life.

Today’s Episode:

I share my journey from running a bakery business that I bootstrapped from a single Farmers Market booth to a brick and mortar with a wholesale manufacturing facility. Despite generating multiple seven figures, I struggled with making a profit. In 2017 and 2018, I faced significant financial challenges, maxing out credit cards and emptying my 401k, which led to selling my company.

What We’re Talking About Today:

• My Story: From building a gluten-free bakery to selling the business and transitioning into a Business Chaos Sorter.
• Financial Realities: The importance of understanding and managing your financials to avoid burnout and financial strain.
• Recurring Themes: How more time and more money can lead to less stress, saving marriages, happier kids, and ultimately a better world.
• Practical Advice: Steps to achieve financial freedom and why you don’t need an MBA or an accounting certificate to understand your financial position.

Special Announcement:

I’m introducing Her First Million 5-Day Focus! In this immersive educational experience on Zoom, I’ll walk you through the...

The interviews on HER FIRST MILLION are designed to give female business owners practical tools to make the journey to Her First Million simpler.

In these conversations, your host Amanda Bedell, sits down with trailblazing women entrepreneurs who have excelled in industries traditionally dominated by men.

In these interviews, we unearth strategies, navigate challenges, and uncover secrets that have led these women to the coveted first million, and beyond.

In this episode,

Danielle Dinkelman, a sought-after coach and speaker known for her philosophy of doable, enjoyable changes for lasting results, shares with Amanda some tactical steps to creating more self-care, or, as mentioned in the episode, self-respect for ourselves as we grow businesses.

Amanda acknowledges that self-care can feel elusive and asks for what a practice could look like.

Danielle mentioned a few clues viewers can consider as "self-care," including finding something that feels:

- restful

- playful

- like you're learning

- like you're alive

- like you're yourself.

Danielle recommended two resources for entrepreneurs aiming to achieve their first million while prioritizing self-care.

These resources include the book "Essentialism" by Greg McKeown https://a.co/d/d4MRNOU, which emphasizes the importance of self-care by advocating to "protect the asset" (spoiler: that's you!).

Additionally, she suggested "The ONE Thing" by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan https://a.co/d/cQMwfBl, which offers a valuable strategy for managing overwhelm by posing a crucial question:

"What is the one thing that, if accomplished, would make everything else on your to-do list easier or unnecessary?"

After years of witnessing terrible advice in Facebook groups,

LinkedIn threads, and my own MBA program,

I’m about to say something you may find shocking: everything you've ever learned about generating leads and growing your business is wrong.

Everything you've ever heard, you've ever tried, and everything you've ever done -- it's all wrong.

I know it sounds harsh and could be a hard concept to swallow, but bear with me, please.

You’ve likely tried numerous approaches and spent countless hours and copious amounts of money in the name of marketing.

You're not alone. And, it's not your fault. In this brief presentation, I'll share why all the advice you've received doesn't work, and, more importantly, how to fix it.

Now that you know how to market your business, you can't unknow it.

But, information is just the beginning.... heck, we've got information at our fingertips now. The real question is, what are you going to do with this information?

If you're like me or any of my clients, you'll feel overwhelmed and stuck in a maze of tasks. You lack the time to be strategic because you're inundated with phone calls, tight cash flow, and the rest of the fires you put out every day.

But to change that reality, you've got to take massive action. If you're ready, I'm honored to invite you to apply for the HER FIRST MILLION 5-Day Focus.

During this 5-Day immersion, you learn how to ease overwhelm and sort through your chaos to grow your business to 7-figures – or whatever size you want. Plus, you’ll be doing it with a whole lot of fun people who are disrupting industry standards and scaling to new heights.

Come ride the entrepreneurial rollercoaster with us!
