I am on vacation!!! I can’t tell you how important it is to have time off when you’re a doula! AND to have systems in place to be able to take time off! This is your sign to build this into your business NOW!

Sometimes business plans need to change. Maybe big plans, maybe small plans. But owning a business comes with the need to pivot. A doula business is no different. You need a doula business plan, but you also need the ability to adapt and grow and change as your life and business evolve.

All business owners need time off! But ESPECIALLY doulas! We give so much of our heart, soul and body in this work. We must rest and recover and be off call. Listen to how I’m building this into my business this year.

Doula businesses need tech and automations just like any other business does! But oftentimes doulas have no knowledge or experience with technology. I remember the first time someone talked to me about a customer management system and just got a little blurry eyed. Today I can navigate through the world of tech a bit easier and it makes my business easier to run!

Being a solo business owner is lonely, and hard and sometimes feels discouraging. The reality is that all of those are because of the fact that you have only your own eyes on the business SO much of the time. Doula work is already done almost entirely alone, so business needs to be done in community!

Self-Care is vital to life for all entrepreneur, but especially service based entrepreneur who are giving of themselves day in and day out.

Taking steps in your Doula business is vital to forward movement. Do you know what your next steps are? Where are you headed in your business? Today’s episode dives into that and more!

Are you holding yourself back from having a business that you love and loves you back? Joy, Hope and rest need to be a part of your doula business from the very first MOMENTS!

Business success is such a broad concept. We can define it a variety of ways. Oftentimes, when we own a small business we define it in ways that are actually incredibly unhelpful because we are looking way too far into the future. In Doula Businesses we need to learn to celebrate wins and steps toward goals and not just the big goals that we have!

Automations make a doula business SO MUCH EASIER! This episode is about the tech and automations I use in my business to make things smoother and easier. Tech is a very important part of a business running smoothly.

Today is all about the journey to building my team in my business. Why I did it, how it has gone! If you’re a small business owner you need to consider when and how you’d build your business team. That may be soon or maybe it will be later, but regardless it’s something people need to consider.

Today I’m walking you through the timeline of my business. Because I’m tired of the get-rich-quick schemes and language that are going around. I want you to have context for realistic growth. I’m NOT saying you have to grow like I did, because you could do it a bunch better/faster! But I am saying I want you to have the context of what it took for me to get here to this beautiful 6-figure business place.

Today we are discussing networking! What kind of providers would I want to network with in my doula business? People that I regularly refer to, and want to build network with, are acupuncturists, massage therapists, lactation consultants, chiropractors, pediatricians, nannies, pediatric dentists or ENTs. And then of course, midwives and OBs.

Today we are discussing growing your doula offerings and keeping yourself sane by only trying to grow one at a time! Please do not try to strategize and grow everything at once. It won’t work and you’ll maybe lose your mind. Doula business growth has to be something we’re patient and strategic with and not something we rush into.

Today we are discussing rest! Rest is vital on all levels. Mental, physical, and emotional especially when we are giving so much to our clients on a regular basis.
