Today on the podcast I'm talking to Gwen Lane, Gwen is a digital marketing superstar, founder of The LA Girl, and founder of Spark Society, a community for online influencers, where she also teaches influencers how to grow and monetize their influence.
I met Gwen almost 2 years ago now and it’s been incredible to watch her grow, and grow so fast. So for those of you listening who want to grow your business quickly, this is a must listen. Not all of you guys out there are ready to go “all in” to your business right now, and that’s ok, go at your own pace - but then you have to be real about your expectations and how far you can grow and how fast. If you’re ready for quick growth though, I highly suggest taking a page from Gwen’s playbook in this episode.
I really love this conversation because we go deep and dig into so many things from how Gwen’s invested over $50K in her business over the last 2 years (but side note she has made such an insane return on that investment, making every penny worth it), to how we’re all actually influencers in one way shape or form.
We also explore Gwen’s personal mindset and her morning routine that she uses to set herself up for success. It’s really similar to mine actually and we both agree our simple mindfulness practices have had the biggest impact on our businesses.
We also explore how Gwen got started as an entrepreneur and how she used all of her 10 years of experience in corporate america as her training for business.
Gwen also shares the sacrifices she made in order to grow her business quickly. There’s no getting around it, growing a business requires work, perseverance, and as we state multiple times on this podcast, consistency!
While you certainly don’t have to invest as much or grow as fast as Gwen did, there is a certain amount of grit and resilience required of entrepreneurs, especially online entrepreneurs these days that get constantly trolled. We also talk about that and how you gotta just let the haters hate without thinking too far into it.
Hope you guys enjoy this episode, as much as I did!
