My guest today is Meera Kothand, an Amazon Bestselling Author* and email marketing strategist who simplifies email marketing so that you can create a tribe that’s addicted to your zone of genius (even if email scares you senseless).
I share the story about how I came across Meera on the podcast, but I’m so excited for you guys to hear this episode because we get into a great conversation on overcoming our fear of selling.
Today we’re talking about:
- How Meera started her entrepreneurial journey
- How Meera overcomes the fears that comes with entrepreneurship
- Meera’s advice for self publishing a book on Amazon
- The importance of having a pre-launch before you launch
- The one thing that Meera would change if she could go back to when she first started her business
- How Meera would find pockets of time to work on her business while juggling raising her daughter
- The one belief Meera had to change about herself to get where she is today.
- Meera’s best advice for you if you’re struggling to get traction in your side hustle.
My favorite quotes from Meera:
“People need to trust you to buy from you.”
“It’s not about doing more, but doing minimum viable. Do the minimum viable to get traction, but make sure your foundation is strong.”
