Collaborate to Accelerate: How Peer Partnerships Can Boost Your Revenue
Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne
Over 300,000. That’s how many business owners are in the communities that I did workshops for to in January alone. Sounds crazy right? It’s a visibility strategy that I like to call OPP, otherwise known as other people’s people. Since I have yet to become Instagram famous, I had to figure out another way to grow my reach and impact more business owners. But then something clicked.

Overcoming Overplanning
Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne
A few years ago,I had a brilliant idea for a new offer. I mapped it out in detail, brainstormed all the possibilities, and spent weeks refining it. Guess what? I never launched it. I got stuck in the overplanning cycle – tweaking, refining, and second-guessing. Sound familiar? The truth is, overplanning can feel productive, but it’s really just a sneaky form of procrastination. And it’s keeping you from the success (and revenue) you deserve. That’s why in this week’s episode of the Breadwinning Business Women podcast, we’re tackling: Overcoming Overplanning: Take Action and...

Annual business planning step-by-step
Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne
Not planning annual goals last year was a big mistake. I was completely down in the dumps. I was still emotionally healing from a multi-year ill ness, and to be transparent, there was more focus on all the time that I lost than creating a bright future. Not having my annual plan in place had me feeling less focused than I normally would. This year, I was determined not to have that happen again. I spent several days during the holiday creating goals that I’m truly excited about. There was no better way that I could think to start off the year than by sharing my personal business planning...
