Who Am I Not To? A Mindset Shift to Overcome Imposter Syndrome 17:56

6 weeks ago17:56

17:56

Have you ever looked around your business, your dream, your life and thought: “Who am I to be here?” Yeah. Me too. This episode is a raw, real, and honest repurposed interview from when I was a guest on the Go Getters Podcast with my southern soul sister, Kayse Morris. And we’re tackling something that every single entrepreneur deals with— Imposter Syndrome . You know that voice—the one that says: You’re not good enough. Someone else is already doing it. What if you fail? Who do you think you are? I’ve been there. And in this conversation, I share the exact mindset shift that helped me silence that voice and finally start moving forward with boldness. Instead of asking, “Who am I to…?” I began asking, “Who am I not to?” Let that sit for a moment. 👆 That right there became my daily reminder: I was born for this. Not because I had all the answers, funding, experience, or confidence. But because I was willing to show up, learn as I went, and take action even when I was terrified. You’ll also hear me share: The weight of being a first-generation Latina entrepreneur What it felt like to wear “imposter syndrome” like a varsity jacket How being scared is actually a sign you’re doing something big Why confidence isn’t a prerequisite—it’s a result of consistent action If you’ve ever doubted yourself, this is your pep talk in podcast form. Let’s throw off the jacket of fear, stop waiting for permission, and remind ourselves that we were made for more. Click play to hear all of this and: [00:59] Why imposter syndrome hits harder than we expect—and how to define it in a way that resonates. [02:24] My "varsity jacket" analogy that perfectly illustrates how imposter syndrome lingers.

Turning Down Revenue: When Intuition Outranks Logic in Business 18:43

6 weeks ago18:43

18:43

There’s something that feels almost criminal about saying no to a good opportunity, right? It looks great on paper, it’s in alignment with your goals, the money is forecasted, the deliverables are clear, and you’ve even mentally committed to it… but something inside you says, “This isn’t it.” That happened to me recently, and in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the decision I made to walk away from a highly aligned opportunity—and why. Let me be clear: this wasn’t just any opportunity. It was one we’d already factored into our 2025 revenue plan. It was a perfect fit on paper, and I’d been expecting (and prepping for) the call for months. But here’s the thing… when it came time to sign the dotted line, I couldn’t do it. It made no logical sense. And my COO? She was stunned. But as I explain in this episode, I believe our bodies are pattern-spotting machines . And sometimes what we call “intuition” is actually our brain detecting something off—even when we can’t articulate why. So here’s what I did: I sat with that feeling, but I didn’t stop there . I forced myself to go find the facts to justify the feelings. Because while I don’t believe in building a business on emotion, I do believe in using intuition as a prompt—and then using data to make a final decision. Inside this episode, I’ll walk you through: The opportunity I turned down and why it was so hard to say no The process I use to reverse-engineer my intuition into facts How I define “productive vs. busy” in my daily work life Why trusting yourself is the best business strategy you’ll ever invest in If you’ve ever felt torn between logic and gut instinct—or wondered how to tell when an opportunity is right —this episode is for you. Your goals don’t require you to say yes to everything. Sometimes the most strategic move is walking away. Click >>PLAY<< to hear all of this and: [00:01] Why I turned down a forecasted, on-brand, high-revenue opportunity [03:00] The conflict between logic and intuition—and how I handle it in business [05:15] What intuition really is (spoiler: it’s your brain spotting patterns) [06:45] The moment I knew something was “off” and how I investigated it [08:30] How I flipped my gut instinct into data to justify my decision [11:00] Why being productive doesn’t always mean being busy—and how to tell the difference [12:15] The gift of saying no, and what it makes space for Listen to Related Episodes: 10 Ways To Avoid Getting Stuck in Business Five Things My Team and I Do to Stay Productive and Reach Our Goals 📧 Join my Newsletter for a weekly cocktail of insider business strategy, personal reflections, and the journey of being a thought leader. 📧 For full show notes, visit jasminestar.com/podcast/episode536 Ready to create a powerful brand, high-level marketing strategies, and build systems that scale alongside a group of talented 7-figure entrepreneurs?

Want a Cult Following for Your Business? Here’s How. 15:53

Ever wonder how brands like Apple, Red Bull, or even Celestial Seasonings Tea have customers that basically evangelize their products? Like... they’re not just customers—they’re full-blown disciples. Well, friend, I’ve got the tea (and it’s not just herbal). In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I learned from a high-level business mentorship conversation about how companies intentionally model themselves after “cult brands.” We’re breaking down what makes a brand cult-like (in the best way possible), and how YOU can infuse these characteristics into your business—no matter your size. I studied this so YOU don’t have to spend months digging through corporate case studies. I’m distilling data from companies like Snapple, Rolling Rock, Pete’s Coffee, and more to show what small business owners like us can actually do to foster that same die-hard loyalty. No, you don’t need a billion-dollar ad budget. You just need intention, clarity, and the guts to be bold in your branding. We’re not out here trying to be everyone’s cup of tea. We’re building something magnetic that resonates so deeply, people proudly wear it (literally or figuratively) on their sleeve. So if you want your audience to become voluntary advocates—cheering you on, sharing your work, and staying loyal for life—this episode is for you. Let’s build that cult energy... minus the creepy robes. 😉 Click PLAY to hear all of this and: [00:01] Why your business needs a cult-like following (yes, really) [00:03] The Pete’s Coffee case study: how a regional favorite went national [00:05] 3 sources of research that inspired this episode [00:07] Trait #1: Define a bigger purpose + a consistent core narrative [00:10] Trait #2: How to showcase values through storytelling [00:13] Trait #3: Create symbolic artifacts + shared rituals [00:16] Trait #4: Build exclusivity + a sense of belonging Listen to Related Episodes: Three Sales Strategies to Increase Your Revenue How to Get Ahead of 99% of Business Owners Four Secrets to Unstoppable Marketing 📧 Join my Newsletter for a weekly cocktail of insider business strategy, personal reflections, and the journey of being a thought leader. 📧 Click >> PLAY << to listen now!

What are you obsessed with right now? For 90% of things in life, being obsessed with someone or something is not a good idea.

When You Should “Break the Rules” in Your Business 33:00

51 weeks ago33:00

You know who knew a thing or two about defying norms? Coco Chanel. In the 20th century in France, women wore corsets and frilly dresses (basically only clothes that were appealing to men.) So, what’d she do? She started designing clothes that were simple, sleek, and stylish with clean lines and timeless elegance. And let me tell you, the whole world took notice but she didn’t stop there… She went on to break even more rules. She chopped off her hair into a short bob, which was unheard of at the time. She rocked menswear-inspired outfits, and she even dared to use jersey fabric in women's fashion. Y’all, Chanel was a gangster. In fact, Chanel famously said, 'In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.' So, how can you break (or bend) the rules and stand out in your business? Got you covered. In this episode, you’ll learn my framework for embracing a rule-breaker mindset, how to assess the risks and rewards when breaking a business rule, and how to address common fears and hesitations. Click play to hear all of this and… (00:00:00) My upbringing in a conservative home with strict rules (and how I challenged all of the ones that didn’t make sense to me.) (00:02:53) My healthy rule-breaking framework and why I believe it’s important in business. (00:08:26) How Coco Chanel broke fashion rules and revolutionized the industry. (00:10:30) The Rule Breaker Mindset and four steps to take to achieve it. (00:21:19) How to persevere in the face of challenges when rule-breaking.

It seems counterproductive joining a room without being sure it isn’t a fit. But what if you got so good at making the wrong room the right room ? Can you imagine how great you’d be at maximizing when you DID get in the right room?

And to this day, I wonder if my grandmother asked herself this question.

Maybe she knew that one day her hard and treacherous work would pave the way for her granddaughter to not only go to college but to come back to deliver a commencement speech.

Hear me out: What if you set the bar higher than you could ever imagine… What if you allowed yourself to dream so big that it terrified you simply because you knew you’d have to let go of the things (strategies, offers, businesses) that are currently working, to get there?

If there was one discussion that could transform the way you view criticism and critiques, this is it. Because here’s the deal: feedback is a GIFT.

Understanding and Increasing Your Customer LTV (Lifetime Value): Five Strategies to Make More Money From the Same Customers 29:46

1 year ago29:46

29:46

Did you know that a big (BIG!) chunk of sales actually comes from existing customers? How big? Well, I’m so glad you asked. Think of it this way: research shows that, while most businesses make sales to anywhere between 5-20% of NEW customers, they close deals with 60-70% of EXISTING customers. This means your likelihood of making a sale is doubled when targeting existing customers compared to acquiring new ones. This is why your Customer Lifetime Value is so important to figure out and I’m literally giving you the formula to compute it. (It quite possibly may be my favorite math equation to date!) In this episode, you’ll learn my four-step framework for calculating LTV and my five favorite strategies to boost it. Click play to hear all of this and… (00:00:01) How understanding your LTV can grow your business exponentially. (00:03:08) The importance of existing customers.

(00:22:49) Ways you can increase the average purchase value AND enhance their experience.

Change Your Life in One Year with Sahil Bloom 57:36

57:36

What if you treated your life like a puzzle? Allow me to explain: when you approach a puzzle, you typically start by identifying the corners or edges. Once you have your corners in place, you begin filling in the pieces, one by one. Each piece represents a small step or task that contributes to the larger picture. Well, in life, progress is made by breaking down big goals into manageable tasks and tackling them one at a time. By focusing on completing one piece at a time (and not the whole picture), you gradually build momentum and move closer to your goal. This was one of the many (MANY!) takeaways from recording this episode with my new friend Sahil Bloom , and of course, my temporary co-host Jen Gottlieb . In this episode, you’ll learn how to make small changes that lead to BIG transformations, and what to do if you want to change your whole life… in just one year.

(00:21:19) How Sahil got started in entrepreneurship. (00:30:12) Why you need to focus on complementarity partnerships instead of compatible ones.

Wanna know the most important move you’ll ever (EVER!) make in business? … The first move. … And then it’s the next move. … And then it’s the one after that. Here’s the thing: I know ( I know, I know ) that making business moves before you feel ready FEELS very counterintuitive… and that’s why few people do it. But it’s necessary. And one of my favorite examples of this is Jason Phillips , CEO and founder of the Nutritional Coaching Institute . When he started his business, he didn't wait for the perfect moment or until he felt completely prepared. Instead, he took action. He launched his coaching program, refined it through trial and error, and adapted based on feedback. Spoiler alert: He actually just decided to shut down a $6M revenue stream in his business. In this episode, you’ll learn the beliefs Jason holds to be (extremely) successful, how he overcomes obstacles, and the strategy Jason is using to create his new offer.

(00:16:48) How to find the joy in the chase, anticipation, and achievement rather than the end result. (00:22:45) Developing the drive to constantly improve and surpass previous levels of success. (00:29:18) The role selfishness and selflessness play in achieving success. (00:32:24) Jason’s story about his card declining at Starbucks (and how it changed his mindset.) (00:33:50) Jason's decision to offer coaching for free to a national champion weightlifter and the surprising impact on his business. (00:35:24) Jason's perspective on authenticity in marketing and sales, and the value of offering free services.

Be honest: have you ever felt so closely tied to something… … and then it was just, well, gone? poof If so, then you know it can feel like your identity is being stripped away from you, forcing you to start over...again. This is what I’ve learned: if something is being taken away from you, it’s because it’s time for you to let go for something bigger (and more aligned with your future). It’s hard to leave situations (willingly) when they’re comfortable, familiar, and certain—so, sometimes you are forced. This is precisely the situation Hala Taha , LinkedIn, and Podcast Expert, found herself in when she was let go from her Hip Hop show on Hot 97, and shortly after, her MTV show was canceled. But, because Hala persevered, she’s built a successful podcast and a profitable agency.

I call it… “The Serena and Venus Williams Effect” . That feeling we get when we see someone claiming victory. We see the oh-so-prestigious-shiny trophy , but we don’t see what it symbolizes..the cold, dark, and silent work to get it. And lemme tell you, every olympic level athlete has one thing in common… they’ve had WAY more failures than championships and they kept going. And that’s what it takes for us as business owners. If you’ve launched a product or service and you didn’t get the results you wanted (no scratch that, DESERVE!) this episode is for you. Click play to hear all about… [00:00:14] The assumption I made about the 6 & 7-figure business owners who attended my mastermind (I was wrong!)

[00:22:45] How making small changes can lead to fast results.

The Mindset to Embrace When Creating a New Offer 9:35

1 year ago9:35

9:35

There’s something we must do when creating a new offer. Rewire our brains to allow us to think differently. Here’s the deal: our brain wants a sense of security and safety and to do what has worked in the past (which is great for survival, but no bueno in business.) It will talk us out of experimenting with new ideas, testing different strategies, and creating something that isn’t yet proven. Ok, so how do you do this? That’s the question Blessing Richardson , one of our members on the inside of Social Curator, asked during a recent group coaching session. In this episode, you’ll hear our coaching session - and lemme tell you, it was NEXT LEVEL. If you’re in the season of creating something new, this short episode is for you! Click play now to hear all of this and… [00:01:59] Why you must shift your mindset when developing a new offer. [00:05:16] The importance of clearly identifying the target audience and understanding their specific needs and willingness to pay. [00:06:21] Why you should create different offers for different segments of your target audience and provide a tailored experience.

Overcoming Work Addiction and Remaining a Successful Entrepreneur with Chalene Johnson 1:01:42

If you’ve struggled with addiction to work and placing your value in the success of your business, this episode is for you. My amazing co-host, Lori Harder, connected me with the magical, mythical creature that is Chalene Johson. In this episode, we're lucky enough to hear Chalene's candid and fascinating entrepreneurship journey. From flipping cars as a teenager to navigating her husband's gambling addiction AND holding the Guinness world record for most fitness classes taught, Chalene's journey has been nothing short of unique. Click play now to hear her story and all this… [00:01:22] Hear Chalene’s story and more about her life’s mantra of “let's figure out a way”. [00:03:01] Chalene shares how she has to break the belief that she is only valuable because she makes money. [00:06:50] The point at which Chalene shifts to therapy and learning was when she had an implosion in her marriage after finding out about her husband's gambling addiction. [00:08:48] Chalene realized that she also had an addition to work. [00:09:50] It was in high school that Chalene realized she was different. At 16 she had her first business flipping cars. [00:14:12] Chalene learned she’s good at seeing patterns and solving problems which would lead to her success in business. [00:17:47] A mentor told Chalene “You’re just working and working, you need to pick just one thing and pick the thing where there is an opportunity”. This was when she realized she wanted to pick the fitness industry. [00:22:10] Chalene shares her business success was by learning to make something unique even in a saturated market. [00:27:14] Chalene shares what she would do differently if she could go back. [00:31:43] The best advice Chalene would give is to hire the best attorney you can find. [00:33:02] In 2005, Chalene had the most famous fitness infomercial. [00:35:29] After the selling of her business, Chalene learned to trust that there were other people that could do what she thought only she could do. [00:37:23] Despite selling her business, Chalene never worried it was the last idea she would have success at. This thought would lead to her next business venture. [00:49:34] Chalene predicts that the next big thing online will be Long Form Video. She believes that our brains want to slow down and have control over our attention. [00:53:05] The way Chalene sees it, the entrepreneurs who will succeed are the ones who invest in others. [00:54:07] Two common theme Chalene sees throughout her life is that she is a problem solver and that she is a teacher at heart. [00:55:48] Chalene shares her advice to young entrepreneurs that you shouldn’t try to do it yourself. “You save yourself so many headaches and so much trial and tribulation by investing in that person who’s done it”. [00:56:59] Chalene shares how to connect with her online. You can listen to her business podcast, Build Your Tribe , or listen to her personal podcast The Chalene Show .

And since evolving, you might have noticed yourself getting pulled back down to who you once were or who people WISH you were. (Because it feels safe and cushy!) But holding yourself back to those previous versions of yourself is playing small which serves… Well, absolutely no one. What DOES serve your people well is playing bigger, living to your fullest potential, and embracing the growth that you've worked so hard to achieve.

Facing Truths and Making Hard Decisions with Lori Harder 40:19

2 years ago40:19

40:19

I’m thrilled to share the latest episode of the Jasmine Star Show with you! Not only did I have the pleasure of sitting down with my dear friend and fellow entrepreneur, Lori Harder, I also had the privilege of introducing her as my co-host in a series of upcoming episodes. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be dropping new episodes with several other powerhouse female entrepreneurs that I can’t wait for you to hear. Lori and I first met at a mastermind event hosted by Lewis Howes. Lori, with her kindness and brilliance, quickly became a close friend and a source of inspiration for me. She emphasizes the importance of building a network and being in rooms that stretch you. One of the best pieces of advice she gives when you’re nervous about networking and possibly feeling intimidated by the room you’re in is: “It's about how you can serve others, not what you can get from them.” With this mindset shift, you can completely reframe the interactions you’ll have and walk away with so much more. Lori candidly shared her struggles of starting a company from the ground-up during the height of the pandemic. Not only does she walk through her journey to raise over $2 million (having NEVER fund raised prior), she shows us how to embrace doing it messy and not letting lack of experience or knowledge stop you from taking action.

Business Lessons That Will Make You A Better Entrepreneur 44:01

I REALLY don't want to share this story… But I think it's important that we normalize failures in business. So, here I go… In October of 2022, the Social Curator team and I hosted a week-long social media challenge…and we shut it down within the first 48-72 hours. We knew very quickly it wasn’t going to work. We’ve hosted very successful challenges in the past, but this time we did things differently ( without testing it…*sigh* ). And as a result, we confused our challenge participants. I was embarrassed, hurt, and extremely upset at myself for not testing it beforehand. (I’m feeling this way now just thinking about it!) It was an expensive lesson to learn… But dang it, I’m so much stronger, smarter, and better for it. But I must say, I’m only better for it because I reflected, took responsibility, and applied the lessons. It’s important to me that you’re able to grow from the failures you experience in business too. In this episode, I’m sharing with you how to recognize four types of business failures AND my four-part framework for turning those failures into lessons. Click play to hear all of this and… [00:01:15] The profound words my mom would say to me as a kid during my “failures”. [00:05:23] How I’ve taught myself to reframe (even my most gut-punching and soul-sucking) failures into lessons. [00:09:02] How to use failures to help push you to think outside the box and come up with new solutions. [00:09:02] How to improve your self-awareness to understand yourself better and build stronger relationships in business. [00:12:53] How failures can help you grow by understanding your strengths and weaknesses. [00:19:50] The four types of failures in business and the lessons to extract from each one. [00:37:50] Why you need to take responsibility for your failures (and not shame or blame others). [00:38:51] The process of dissecting failures to understand the underlying factors and patterns that contributed to them. [00:39:43] How to put the lessons learned into action, adjust strategies, and measure progress.
