Boss It Podcast

  • Summary

  • Hi All! All my name is Sophia! The aim of the podcast is to provide tangible advice for women entrepreneurs in areas of business, health and self-help. Each episode will have a few action items that the listener can apply if the episode resonated with them - hence the tag line "Make a plan, take action" . I'll give you my background in a nutshell: I am a registered physiotherapist in Canada but moved into leadership at a local hospital. Then went part-time as a manager at a publicly funded medical clinic, so I could grow my product based startup. This brand new biz landed into Walmart Canada last spring. A lot of ladies have been asking for help with their startup because they saw such fast growth of my product based company (the company name is Also Sophia) and so I thought a podcast would be a great way to reach a larger audience. Hope you enjoy!xoxo Sophia

  • Episode 114 | AI Tools You Need in 2023 to Scale Your Business
    Apr 25 2023

    Innovating your business means stepping up your game. Do you think that AI tools are the game-changer you need in 2023?

    Artificial intelligence, or AI, is indeed a powerful tool, and the good news is that you can implement it into your business operations! Utilizing AI tools can boost your productivity as it can handle your tasks promptly, allowing you to move to your other strategic activities. This enables you to leverage your skills while spending less on the areas of your business operations that can be handled by AI tools.

    Let me share with you my top 3 AI tools you need in 2023 to scale your business:

    1. Fireflies.ai - an AI note-taking tool that transcribes your entire meeting and put the notes succinctly into meeting notes. It will not just help you focus more on your meeting but will also allow you to take those notes and transform them into other forms of educational content.
    2. Open AI’s Chat GPT - an AI-powered natural language processing tool that can provide answers to your questions and help you with tasks like email composition. Personally, it has been helping me with idea generation and when writing lengthy letters.
    3. Shopify Inbox - a chatbot that acts as our customer service tool on our website, alsosophia.com. And it's great because if we're not available and a customer needs our service, it will respond on our behalf.

  • Episode 113 | Go from Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur — Why People Stay Stuck!
    Apr 11 2023

    Would you describe yourself as a wantrepreneur? Or do you know someone who is a wantrepreneur?

    The term "wantrepreneur" refers to someone who desires to create their own business but hasn't been able to get started. Wantrepreneurs have fresh and creative ideas but lack the courage to take action and risks. In this episode, we discuss the barriers that might hinder you in your transition from a wantrepreneur to an entrepreneur and the strategies that can help you avoid them.

    Let me share with you why you might be stuck in the wantrepreneur stage:

    1. You find yourself fearful to either start your business or scale it to the next phase or the next big step. The best way to start conquering your fear is to write down the things that you're fearful of if you were to start your business or if you are deciding to take your business to the next level.
    2. You fear being judged by others. It’s important to understand that the reason they have something to say about you is that they're projecting their own insecurities about starting a business on you or they don’t have the ability to help you with this path in life that you've decided to take.
    3. You don’t know where to start. Do the right thing by seeking out podcasts and YouTube videos, mentors, and other resources to help you expedite your trajectory toward your goal.
    4. You lack capital or funding. Start your business with your own money first. Don't borrow money from others to experiment because you should be confident enough to use your own money to start.

  • Episode 112 | Don't Burn the Boats Right Away But Start the Side Hustle
    Mar 28 2023

    Many of us mistakenly believe that starting a side hustle while juggling a nine-to-five job is impossible and that we cannot successfully manage both responsibilities at the same time. It is not necessary to burn the boats right away. Keeping your nine-to-five is vital, not just for supporting your business but also as a safety net in case your side hustle or business fails. It's better to have a side hustle than to jump all in when starting a business.

    Let me share with you why you start the side hustle:

    1. Side hustles give you an extra income stream different from the one you get from your 9 to 5 job. Hence, even if you run into difficulties with your job, you won't completely lose your source of income.
    2. A side hustle will give you extra income to supplement your income as the cost of living has increased substantially!
    3. Start a side business in an area that piques your interest. You are given the opportunity to do something that brings you joy while also continuously relying on your main source of financial support. The extra income that you earned from a side hustle is just a bonus!
