If I had to attribute my success (or progress) as a mompreneur in 2015 to one business tool, it would be to podcasts. Maybe like me, you have your own business, or you want to start one. Either way, podcasts are an excellent medium to learn new material, new insights, and to do so in a manner that fits your life.

Listen, you must add podcasts to your educational foundation. I love them! Can you tell?

There are many types of Podcasts and they are amazingly versatile. Podcasts can range from 10 minutes to an hour in length. You can download them and listen to them while you work on your dreams, work out, or like me, consume them on your lunch break and while you work out. You can listen to them in the car, on the plane, while you wait at the doctor’s office, etc. I have been known to binge-listen when I get time. You can just call me … #addicted

Podcasts are the new book. I said that, so remember it was me when someone more famous says so. It’s not true yet, but remember I said it. 🙂

Nowhere else can you get amazing content for free.99 and in bite-sized chunks. It’s no secret I plan to bring a podcast your way in 2016 geared toward the single mom, her career, lifestyle, etc. But, besides my dreams and it being a way to reach more single moms and empower them, it’s a fun way to share my knowledge and it’s not too time-consuming for me or you. Yaaas! Single moms need efficient use of time AND time to learn and grow. HELLO, podcasts! How you doin’?

So ladies, it’s time to get ahead of the curve. Take a look at my Top Ten Podcast recommendations to help you win in 2020. And the icing on the cake… they are all run by fabulous women entrepreneurs.

Oh honey, as Beyonce says, “Who run the world? Girls!”

3. Branding for Believers Podcast by Dr. Shante Bishop

Dr. Shanté is a Professor and entrepreneur. She believes that Christians in business should be able to exercise their faith in their business and so it flourishes. She teaches biblical principles and connects them to business. I love this podcast. I catch it weekly. She takes a different spin on podcasting by having a live audience participate as she interviews guests. Y’all know I’m big on faith and so this is a weekly go to for me. Very well done, NOT preachy at all, and very well taught by this Doctor might we add. Add this one to your arsenal.

5. Beyond the Business Suit Podcast by Kailei Carr

Kailei is an amazing sweetheart who has a heart for women and their success in corporate American and beyond. She speaks to the inner woman and teaches her about her beauty and how to wear that in a way that is feminine yet powerful. Her podcast will help you fine tune the details so you can knock it out the park at your next event or business meeting. Yass!

This podcast is what I wish every woman who’s growing into herself would listen to. Kailei shows you how to dress for success, discusses confidence, and all the things women need to know outside of their role in Corporate America. It’s a breath of fresh air and a much-needed candid discussion about the small detail we sometimes leave behind but that makes big noise behind our backs as professional women.

6. The Eventual Millionaire Podcast by Jaime Tardy

Okay! It’s no secret that I’m an entrepreneur.  You can look at this lineup and tell me I’m trying to help you see how you can change your life by chasing your dreams. So! This podcast is straight business and it discusses the ins and outs of building a million-dollar business. If you have no desire to build a business, listen in anyway. You never know what you one day will aspire to do. I already know the dreams I have to change the world and honey it takes money to do that. Who is going to build the dream for free? Right. Let’s build our empires that will bless others. Jaime has the details on how. Listen in as Jaime interviews millionaires you want to know.

7. The Linked In Professor Podcast by Tijuana Ross

Touted as a woman you need to listen to to learn how to connect your network and to learn Linked In. Tijuana Ross is the real deal. She’s a coach, podcaster, radio host, and more. I enjoy her podcast because she helps you to realize that you can have a success story. Her interviewees prove this every time and she herself speaks to the power of connection. You can learn how to engage your audience and your network with this podcast and then some. One of the biggest blessings I’ve had on my own journey is finding my tribe. I use this word a lot and you should too. These are the people who “roll” with you. Your crew, your row, your circle. We need a tribe in every area of our life. Find out how to build yours and more!

8. Package Your Genius by Amanda Miller Littlejohn

I first found out about Amanda through Paul Carrick Brunson who I follow and count as mentor and friend. He runs Mentor Monday and had her on as a guest. You want to check Amanda out because she helps you take what you love and know you are meant to do and put it in a way that your audience recognizes and loves. Let’s face it! Some of us are doing some amazing things with passions that were hard to pin down, figure out, and put into simple terms. I mean how do you market being a life strategist? First off, what is that? Right. Well, Amanda helps you in her podcast to see how amazing you and your gifts are and how to bring your awesome to the men and women who are waiting for it.

9. Online Marketing Made Easy by Amy Porterfield

Let me keep it really real. You do not have a business if you do not sell anything, if you do not have customers, and if you aren’t actively marketing that business. Amy Porterfield’s podcast takes something that doesn’t come easy to women and helps us learn how to market to the people we exist to help. I mean I burn on the inside to help other moms live their dreams, break out of their shells, run their homes with pride, etc. But if I don’t know how to tell my single mom sisters what I have to help them,  I’m not in business. To learn how to market online and to do so with a behind the scenes system that works for you, check out Amy’s podcast. It will bless you with the business side you didn’t know we needed.

10. Glambition Radio with Ali Brown

I love this podcast! I love them all yes. But, this podcast is powerful and you simply must add it to your arsenal. Ali works with mindset and let me tell you the number one thing that will stop you from progressing… is your belief that you can or can’t. She, like most podcasters, discusses a variety of topics. But, her podcasts always center on how women turned their dreams into businesses. We learn through the sharing of knowledge. Get ready to grow.

Listen in here and be inspired!

Why I’m geeked about this list

I actually got to go to Podcast Movement 2015 and I had a blast! I met Pat Flynn of SmartPassiveIncome.com  and let’s just say I may have startled him with all my excitement. He was so generous and kind. I learned a great deal and I owe that all to my friend Michelle Y. Talbert who has an amazing FaceBook Group for women entrepreneurs called Sister Power Hustlers. You should join if entrepreneurship is your thing and you’re looking for a great group of women to grow with! I had to plug my sis!

But, I’m geeked about this list because we women ROCK!!! No longer do we have to sit our dreams on the back burner. This list proves that you can do it. Don’t wait another day. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. Start learning and seeking how to have the life you want. Podcasts are a great way to learn what you didn’t know you needed.

If you think you don’t have time but you know you want to start a business or even a podcast, read this post first on finding balance. Our mindset is so important to our success as single moms. Honey, “If you think you can’t, you won’t,” as some smart person once said.

I say this all the time and I’ll say it again- I want you to win. Download some of these podcasts and begin to listen in and learn new things, reinforce what you knew, and stretch yourself beyond your wildest dreams. May this list bless you on your entrepreneurial and parenting journey!

I enjoyed putting this post together. I hope you find some new podcasts to listen to.

P.S.

Have a blessed day and remember to DO IT ANYWAY!
