  • Résumé

  • Where established business owners reveal what it’s really like to be CEO and simultaneously pursue abundance. Abundance looks different for everyone and no two businesses are built the same. During this open conversation, discover how circumstance, actions, and events created emotional reactions of either abundance or scarcity throughout their business-building journey. Much of whether we grow or get stuck playing small depends on the mindset we choose and the actions we take during the highs and lows throughout our entrepreneurial journey. Find out how workload, relationships, and money played a role in business owners’ decisions, emotions, and mental health during various stages in their business, when they made key decisions about hiring, marketing, and outsourcing, and how hosting their own podcast played a role in their personal development AND the growth of their business. Virginia Elder, host and owner of Podcast Abundance, shares pieces of her own journey from corporate life to freelancer to business owner, plus interviews other entrepreneurs with thriving businesses who use their podcast to establish authority in their niche, provide educational content for potential clients, and drive leads into their business. During the first half of each interview episode, you’ll get an inside look at the guest’s business and hear about challenges, plus the habits and actions that help navigate them. Our goal is to uncover the mindset and mental health shifts that worked for them to help you thrive during your journey. Then, in the second half of the interview, we switch the conversation to marketing strategies and learn how launching a podcast helped them grow their business and mature as a founder, speaker, and collaborator for their brand. Every business needs a reliable marketing arm that consistently and automatically attracts potential clients, and these guests have a successful, active podcast doing exactly that! Learn how they started, what changed, and how they’ve grown since becoming a podcast host. We’ll reveal podcasting strategies that work and prep you for the emotional rollercoaster that occurs any time you step up to play big in life. Abundance is within reach for all of us, but the pursuit of abundance is never over. It takes intention, a clear vision for what abundance means to you, and a consistent level of consciousness around your actions and emotions throughout your journey. Cheers to Reaching Abundance together!

    Owning a small business is challenging, and selling it can be a complex process. Having someone with industry experience in your corner can make a huge difference.

  • How to Strategically Allocate Time & Effort in Your Business | Jen Smith | Ep 49

    How to Strategically Allocate Time & Effort in Your Business | Jen Smith | Ep 49
    Jan 16 2025

    True abundance is about having the money, health, and time for a fulfilling life.

    Virginia talks with Jen Smith, a leading voice in financial education and co-host of the Frugal Friends Podcast. Jen helps people manage their money better so they can have the freedom to pursue their passions and strongly believes business owners must use their time and energy wisely to achieve success.

    Her decision to prioritize publishing her book “Buy What You Love Without Going Broke” over launching a YouTube channel speaks to the power of making intentional decisions that honor your current life stage and personal values.

    Redefining Abundance

    (00:14:41) Intentional Resource Management and Stewardship

    (00:25:44) Tips for SEO Podcasting and Video Content

    (00:37:06) Releasing Perfection to Make Room for Authenticity

    (00:43:35) Creating Alignment by Spending with Discernment

    "We will always spend money. We will always spend time. So to think of frugality as just wanting less, consuming less, less, less, less is a lie. It's a good spending of it. That's why we shifted away from how do I spend as little as possible to how do I spend as intentionally as possible?” - Jen Smith
