    285. Creating a Multi-Million Dollar Franchise Business Out of Joy with Rhea Lana Riner
    Jun 17 2025
    When I tell you you can start a business out of anything, do you have like an internal eye roll? Today’s guest started a business out of her living room. You can start a company simply because you want to help others. It really is that simple, but simple doesn’t mean easy. Rhea Lana Riner is the CEO and founder of Rhea Lana’s Children Consignment Events, a national franchise with 120 locations in 26 states. What started as a simple clothing swap in her living room has evolved into a multi-million-dollar business. Listen for the moments of courage – we're talking about the courage to start small and try again when something doesn't work exactly as planned the first time. It takes courage to keep going when you're not sure what the next step will look like. Rhea Lana was a stay-at-home mom who grew up in a military family. She was an introvert and, according to her, not someone you'd call a leader. “There was a season in our life where my husband left the corporate world and went into nonprofit work. We moved to another state, and I had these three small children under the age of five,” says Rhea Lana. She loved the hunt for secondhand shopping. However, the experiences with secondhand shopping weren't great at that time, ranging from garage sales to consignment stores – Rhea Lana felt there had to be a better way with more accountability. She got 11 women to sign up as consignors. It was a win. But no shoppers came to her first sale. She asked for a second chance and got to work on grassroots invitations. She printed flyers and made yard signs. “I wanted each mom that was selling her things with me; I wanted her to be able to see exactly what sold and exactly how much so that there would be no questions of just integrity of what happened.” You really can start with nothing and turn it into something. As women we're so creative; we generate idea after idea. It's essential that we find joy in what we do in business, and we don't have to undertake huge, risky ventures. It can be moment by moment. Rhea Lana says for that first sale, expectations were low. She remembers when she made $200; it was a win. She went out and bought a fancy purse – the first new thing she'd bought for herself in a long time. “Because all the money that came in, it went for the kids, or the bills, or the house payment. And I do think that's what women do experience,” says Rhea Lana. “We tend to put ourselves last. And so when I did this little business, all of a sudden, Of course, there was some tension.” She had to spend money but also felt the freedom to buy for herself, which was motivating. She says that the push for growth helped her narrow her focus to grow and increase her earnings. Her business grew gradually with each event. After working for a few years, Rhea Lana realized she was making in one event what a friend made in a year. “It was just part of the journey of probably giving me the push I needed to kind of take that next step towards franchising.” She didn't have the money to hire a consultant; instead, her sister helped her test an event in another community. She read "Franchising for Dummies". “It just kind of felt manageable. And, sure, there's a level of risk, but just a small amount. And we didn't know if anybody would buy it. I had no idea.” For some women, chasing their dreams or finding their purpose in life is about being good at what they do. Success isn't cookie-cutter. Expanding into your joy and what truly makes you happy and trusting yourself to have the courage to take step after step -- that's a little bit different for everybody. Free gift: Book a complimentary, 30-minute consultation call to offer women in your audience valuable insights on the next step in their journey. Maybe it's a business or entrepreneurial interest in our franchise system, or maybe it's something else. I will also be sending a free leadership resource to aid them in their journey of personal growth, along with some free Rhea Lana's merch!

    284. Why Marketing Online Feels Awful with Authority Coach Christine Blosdale
    Jun 10 2025
    Is marketing online enough to make you want to stick a fork in your eye? If you've been feeling that way, I want you to know one, you're not alone, and two, something's happening in online marketing that not enough people are talking about: the authenticity factor. We have a nose for BS. We know when people feel desperate. We know when things aren't going well. We know when someone is showing up just to show up, because they think they're supposed to. If you've been wondering how you can show up in an authentic way and have people really be attracted to you and not in the I'm going to call it the “white broligarchy way”, but in the, “Hey, I have this amazing thing and I think I can help way,” -- this is going to be the episode that's going to help you get there. Christine Blosdale is the expert authority business coach. She successfully guided more than 500 business owners, coaches, authors, and nonprofits in developing and expanding their brand and business, helping them achieve magnificent growth and success. If you've been feeling stuck about how to market and how to show up just as yourself, you're going to want to pop in those earphones. Christine says her whole trajectory has always been about helping people and creating. From speaking the truth in assessing a client’s work, to helping them share their natural gifts, she says it’s about zeroing on each person’s individual superpower. “I use my intuition when I'm working with clients to see their expert authority, their gift,” says Christine. “If they're not conveying that in a real clear way, as a lot of business owners, a lot of entrepreneurs do, then they need just need help in getting the word out the message.” She remembers helping her mother get ready for work each day. Her mom would always ask how she looked, seeking Christine’s opinion. “At a really young age, I think that formulated something within me that, oh, I have value in what I, you know, what I think,” says Christine. “To this day, if I go to a hotel or a spa or wherever, a restaurant, I'll pick out the things that they're doing well.” This extends to her clients. She says especially as women, we suffer from limited beliefs about what we can accomplish and imposter syndrome. “My job is to really dismantle all of that, because the stories that we say to ourselves, even when we're at the top of our game and where we've got such great skills and wisdom -- it's that story that we're not good enough; who's gonna listen to me?” Christine says people stepping into their passion and acknowledging their strengths isn’t ego or arrogance. It’s tapping into who we were, not who the world wants us to be. You can’t be an impostor if you’re being your authentic self. “You'll reach a certain age and reach a certain point in your life, and you'll look back and you go, ‘Oh wow. I did all this for other people but what I could have done is at least tap into those passions that are important to me.’ You could have even been a better role model.” Christine says a common challenge for her clients is visibility. Often, when she looks at their website and socials, she finds the scent of desperation in their content. “No one wants to necessarily go onto a sinking ship,” she says. “That is a real game changer for people because it flips the script. … It's, ‘hey, I'm here. This is why I'm so confident in what I can do.’” Christine says it’s important to look at the socio-cultural landscape. People are moving away from the Kardashians and Dynasty-type perfection. They’re looking at content creators and speakers who are authentic and relatable. “You want to have that authenticity and that relatability going out so that your people will come to you,” says Christine. “The less perfect you are, the more people are going to be attracted to you.” Free gift: Free copy of “The Social Media and Branding Survival Guide”: https://mailchi.mp/4bbbfb0a3de4/survivalguide Take the expert authority quiz: https://forms.fillout.com/t/g77G9QD1yjus Connect with Christine Blosdale: https://www.ExpertAuthorityCoach.com Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: Marketing Not Working?

    283. How to Find Your Signature Talk With Speaking Coach Jen Oliver
    Jun 3 2025
    Are you someone who wants to give a TED Talk? The entire idea of that platform is ideas worth spreading. Maybe you want to be better on stage or understand what makes a speaker so compelling. There's something that makes people connect to us when we're on a screen or on a stage. Sometimes, it works, and sometimes, it doesn't. How does the person's authentic, awesome, gooey-goodness self get up and deliver something that hits us in a way that is so compelling we can't look away? Jen Oliver has devoted her life to becoming a speaking coach. As an executive producer, she's deeply connected to the entire TEDxCommunity. Jen coaches women to speak with impact and is highly effective at helping her clients show up REAL while leveraging their story, mission, and embodiment to exert a powerful influence. To understand how Jen pulls people onto the stage to share her story, she begins with her own. She recalls her second marriage—she rushed into it. She thought she'd restored the legacy for her children after her first marriage ended and herself as an upstanding woman. She was with a wonderful man but didn't belong in the marriage. She wrestled with the truth of it. It was making her feel sick and ill at ease in her body. She remembered what a relationship mediator told her, "It is so profoundly unkind to not tell the truth. You're torturing another person because you're they're dealing in the absence of communication. They are dealing with a fiction That's so far worse than the reality. Give them the dignity of the truth. Speak your truth." Jen had to admit she didn’t belong in the marriage. "It's those little moments where we look at what is the dis ease? Where am I not showing up true? Where am I not saying what is honest? Like, where's that voice?" says Jen. Jen says she's unconventional in her work as a speaking coach because she focuses on authenticity and sharing that truth as a means of connection beyond the typical tips of how to be persuasive, make eye contact, etc. Helping people tell their truth puts energy behind their words, ideas, or coaching. Whether you're on stage in front of 4,000 people or in the boardroom, you have energy watching you, and if you don't meet that energy, it will bowl you over. “Here's what happens and is the mistake: We don't partner with and see that energy there in service to us,” says Jen. “We instead take it as an indictment and an indicator that we're somehow inadequate for that task.” Those feelings of fight or flight are normal because this is a higher-stakes situation than your average moment in the day. "Let's teach you to drop into your body, which is what I do with women is drop into your body, connect with that. Let's partner with it," says Jen. "I'm real, showing up like a real human as opposed to this perfectly polished, managed little automaton." Jen says we need to pay attention to what we've grown numb to. Before her business took off, Jen needed to own the parts of herself she was ignoring so that she could help others. When you do that personal work, it really is the precursor to other things. You can, in fact, shake the nervousness off – it resets your nervous system. You can hold your truth and have your nervous system contain it. “It doesn't mean that when the contraction happens in that same week, because it's this ebb and flow, that something's wrong, or you're not making the progress. You are,” says Jen. When Jen works with others to find their signature talk, she asks them to slow down. "I believe that the body if you can slow down long enough and regulate and listen to it, is the voice of spirit and soul. It holds memories, it holds emotions, it holds so much wisdom and data points," says Jen. She asks her clients to tap into their bodies instead of their minds—the mind can be a bully. If you want to give a TEDx Talk, start by connecting yourself to your deepest, truest wisdom. "Some of those people, their talk shifts a little bit, and the premise behind their talk, and their main tenets and talking points and the thing they ache to give their audience morphs and changes," says Jen. "It's their truer work."
