    Podcast Goals:
    • Understand the profound impacts of investing toward the growth and scalability of your business

    Episode Timeline:
    • The importance of investing for biz owners (01:07)

    Standout Quotes:
    • "Biz owners pay attention to their growth, they pay attention to where they need to make changes or enhancements, they pay attention to their numbers, and they want growth and scalability versus just earning money here and there." (01:37)
    • "I had to realize that in order for me to grow in an area that I know nothing about which is biz ownership— true biz ownership— I would need to pretty much create my own program and first determine what I needed in that season in my biz and then go and find the best person that has what I need." (04:16)
    • "The reason why I am okay with investing that amount in myself to then give it to my biz, which in turn impacts my team and also impacts my clients, is that I'm in an alignment with what I spent because I chose the right programs and mentors to teach me what I said I wanted to learn." (17:49)

    Standout Quotes:
    • "Unfortunately due to the times that we live in, I knew that I had to be conscientious of where the location would be hosted, how many people would I want in a room, and then would I give people enough time to be able to plan to travel." (02:22)
    • "I started to have a little bit of anxiety. It wasn't that I didn't think that I could handle the event by myself (...), but at the end of the day I did not wanna host an event by myself because you never know what can come up and what additional support you need." (07:25)
    • "The moral of the story was, you may have to go through multiple things up and down, and you may even question why did you have to go through this. But as I've learned through various obstacles that I've run into in my personal life and in my business, there's always the upper side if you believe that anything is possible." (14:46)

  • (#182) Did Your Business Stop When Social Media Went Down?
    Oct 19 2021

    What do you do in your biz when social media shuts down?

    Surely a lot of us were affected during that October 4th outage, especially business owners who heavily rely on social media. In order for them to shift and pivot quickly, they should have the capability to execute a plan B. And that is vital in a critical scenario when there’s a need to reach and deliver something to their audience.

    In this episode, Doctor TK takes us behind the scenes on how she had successfully managed to conduct her workshop despite the worldwide outage (that’s happening in the middle of her launch!) on the platform where she's supposed to make the live workshop happen.

    Podcast Goals:
    • Increase the ways of reaching your audience through email marketing

    Standout Quotes:
    • "Something like this happened 2 years ago. And at that time, I really as a biz owner understood the importance of building a list— also known as email marketing— because you never want to put all of your eggs in one basket and heavily rely on communicating with your community on a platform that you don't own in the first place." (05:50)
    • "Consistency is the name of the game. After you get opt-ins on your email list, it's vitally important that if you do have an email list already, that you nurture your audience." (09:03)
    • "Even though I have a team, when things need to get done as a biz owner, as a CEO, you're not excused from problem-solving in your business." (12:42)

  • (#181) Her Framework Attracted More Clients (w/ Samiyrah)
    Oct 14 2021
    Despite the rise in mental health issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, there's still a stigma attached to seeking out therapy in all communities. Samiyrah has found a way to address this concern— presenting a framework that will help them understand how to move past their presenting problems and attain that certain level of success. Samiyrah Bennett joins us in this episode to describe what it's like to be a business owner, her direct approach to psychoeducation, and how she takes her clients through her own process of treatment. --- Get the latest updates to Doctor TK’s events at: https://bit.ly/3AJNB9r Guest Bio: Samiyrah is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Virtual Therapist located in the State of New York. As the CEO of Samiyrah Bennett, Counseling and Consulting Services, PLLC, she has a mission to Honor and Enrich the Lives of Individuals that Choose to Live Life Intentionally. Her practice provides services to professional women ages 25 - 45 years, helping them to get out of their heads and into their lives.

Episode Timeline: Introduction to Samiyrah and her practice (02:42)How did she make the decision to leave her job? (05:01)What has her routine been like after the transition from 9-5 to now having to create her own structure? (07:52)Samiyrah describes her ideal clients (09:19)As a business owner, how is it like to create a framework? (12:06)What is her advice to people who have negative views toward therapy? (14:09)Products and services she currently offers (16:51) Standout Quotes from Samiyrah: "Then September 1 started for me to be full-time into private practice— and I have no regrets. Although there are some, you know, nerves that come along with it. It's absolutely normal. And I'm embracing that, doing it scared, and seeing the results that are making me feel more empowered and confident in my choice." (05:55)"That has definitely helped me have something to look forward to, have me be structured, be confident in what my weeks look like, and how I can make sure that I set myself up for success. And being in private practice— having that flexibility— allows me to live life on purpose." (08:34)"Having the framework also helps me be confident in my delivery, and my practice and the services, how I show up on different platforms as well, to be able to know that I can get my client from point A to point B with no problem." (12:29) Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: "Connecting with them is one thing (...), but actually having them be your assigned therapist (...), you can just go to their websites (if they're online), and see either what one state or multiple states that clinician is licensed in because we have what's called ethical codes and we cannot, as therapists, see any clients that do not reside in the state that we're licensed in." (10:38)"It is important that you know your own framework so that you can say it at the drop of a dime coz you never know who's listening. And that within itself speaks values of your expertise."
