    Episode 810 | The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show

    Your business is making money. You've got the vision, the clients, and the determination. So why are lenders still saying no?

    In Episode 810 of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show, Sharvette sits down with Dr. Lynda Barnes, known as The Success Doctor, to discuss a critical topic for entrepreneurs: The Fundability Factor.

    Dr. Barnes is a faith-driven funding strategist, business developer, keynote speaker, and business loan broker who helps women entrepreneurs structure their businesses, strengthen their financial foundations, and prepare to pursue funding.

    She explains why having a great business idea—or even generating significant revenue—doesn't automatically mean your business is positioned to receive financing.

    From business structure and credit to financial documentation and funding strategies, this conversation is packed with practical information for entrepreneurs who want to grow.

    And if you're a faith-driven entrepreneur, you'll especially appreciate Dr. Barnes's perspective on combining faith, strategic planning, and financial preparation.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Fundability Starts Before You Apply

    2. Your Business Structure Matters

    3. Faith and Financial Planning Belong Together

    Send us Fan MailThe Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show | www.Sharvette.com | Episode 809You can have the strategy, the clients, and the opportunities but do you have the energy and focus to sustain the business you're building?In Episode 809 of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show, Sharvette sits down with Robin Muhammad, entrepreneur, nutritionist, speaker, and founder of Necessary Nutrition, Inc., for an important conversation about the connection between nutrition, energy, focus, stress, and business performance—especially for women over 40.Robin explains why female entrepreneurs need to think differently about nutrition as they age, including paying closer attention to protein, vegetables, vitamin D, magnesium, healthy fats, hormonal changes, rest, and recovery. She also discusses why entrepreneurs shouldn't simply follow every supplement trend they see online. Critical Nutrition Secrets Fema…If you're building a business while dealing with fatigue, brain fog, stress, hormonal changes, or simply feeling like you don't have the energy you once had, this episode deserves your attention.In This Episode You'll LearnWhy women over 40 may need to approach nutrition differentlyHow nutrition can impact energy, focus, and business performanceWhy Robin recommends prioritizing protein throughout the dayKey Takeaways1. Eat With IntentionWhat does my body need from this meal?For entrepreneurs, that matters because nutrition isn't disconnected from business performance. What and how you eat can influence your energy and ability to concentrate throughout the workday. Critical Nutrition Secrets Fema…2. Prioritize ProteinProtein was one of the biggest nutritional themes of this conversation.Robin recommends building meals around protein sources such as fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu, or a protein-rich smoothie. She discusses aiming for roughly 30–35 grams per meal and around 100 grams daily as a general starting point, while emphasizing that individual needs vary. 3. Pay Attention to Vitamin DRobin explains that vitamin D deficiency can be associated with symptoms such as fatigue and changes in mood, and she highlights vitamin D as an area women—particularly women of color—may want to discuss with their healthcare providers and evaluate through appropriate testing.One Simple Change You Can Make This WeekRobin's practical starting point?Begin your day with a protein-rich meal.That might include eggs or a protein-rich smoothie, depending on your nutritional needs.And when overwhelm hits, Robin offers another piece of advice:Stop and do something that brings you joy—and makes you proud.Connect with Robin |https://www.necessaryvitamind.com/https://www.facebook.com/nessynutri Instagram:: https://www.instagram.com/nessynutri LinkedIn profile:: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinmuhammad/The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show | www.Sharvette.com Listen and Subscribe to our Podcast: https://pod.link/281762250 Listen on Apple Podcast - http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sharvette-mitchell-radio/id281762250Listen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Er67rVhcSqj8MO7ysL9bVListen on iHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-the-sharvette-mitchell-rad-31047507/Listen on BuzzSprout- https://thesharvettemitchellradioshow.buzzsprout.comListen on Amazon Music Podcast: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7a6dbb45-abf8-4ce7-8202-116b3dbd3f31/the-sharvette-mitchell-radio-show

    Beyond Talent: How the A.C.E. Framework™ Helps Entrepreneurs Build Sustainable Business Growth with Dr. Ross

    The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show | www.Sharvette.com | Episode 808

    Talent can open the door—but what helps you stay in the room and continue growing?

    In Episode 808 of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show, Sharvette sits down with Dr. Raylene Ross, licensed professional counselor, mental performance consultant, author, speaker, and founder of Living Your Truth Coaching & Consulting, LLC.

    Drawing from more than 20 years of experience in collegiate athletics and her work supporting resilience and performance training for the United States Army, Dr. Ross introduces her A.C.E. Framework™: Alignment, Consistency, and Execution.

    This practical framework helps entrepreneurs move beyond talent and good intentions to develop the mental skills, habits, and standards required for sustainable business growth and high performance under pressure.

    To connect with Dr. Raylene Ross

    --

    If you've ever struggled with too many ideas, inconsistent execution, overthinking, or maintaining momentum when business gets difficult, this conversation is for you.


    --

    The PAUSE Strategy for Entrepreneurs

    When pressure rises, don't automatically react. PAUSE.

    P — Pause before reacting.

    A — Assess what's happening.

    U — Understand what you need and what the situation requires.

    S — Select the most effective response.

    E — Execute the action.

    This strategy creates space between the pressure you're experiencing and the decision you make.

    As Dr. Ross explains, pressure doesn't have to make the decision for you.


    Key Takeaways

    Talent isn't enough. Talent may create opportunities, but sustainable excellence requires mental skills and repeatable standards.

    Every opportunity isn't aligned. Learning to say no can be just as important to business growth as knowing when to say yes.

    Consistency doesn't mean perfection. Sustainable consistency includes the ability to adjust, recover, and return.

    Recovery is productive. Constantly pushing without creating space to reset can eventually undermine performance.

  • The Regulated Entrepreneur: Your Best Business Skill Isn’t on Your Resume | Ashley Waddell

    The Regulated Entrepreneur: Your Best Business Skill Isn’t on Your Resume | Ashley Waddell
    Jun 30 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if the biggest factor impacting your business success isn't your marketing strategy, business plan, or years of experience—but your nervous system?

    In this thought-provoking episode of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show, Sharvette sits down with Ashley Waddell, LCSW-S, Wholistic Therapist and Wellness Strategist, to explore why emotional regulation may be one of the most overlooked leadership skills for entrepreneurs.

    Ashley explains how anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm can quietly influence decision-making, visibility, confidence, and consistency in business. She also shares practical ways entrepreneurs can move from survival mode into sustainable leadership and wellness.

    If you've ever found yourself overthinking, procrastinating, avoiding opportunities, or wondering why you know what to do but struggle to do it, this episode is for you.

    In This Episode You'll Learn

    ✅ What it really means to have a "regulated" nervous system

    ✅ Why nervous system regulation is a hidden business skill

    ✅ How anxiety and chronic stress affect entrepreneurs

    Key Takeaways

    1. Your Nervous System Influences Your Business

    Success isn't just about having the right strategy.

    When your body is overwhelmed, your ability to think clearly, make decisions, and execute consistently becomes much more difficult.

    2. Regulation Creates Better Leadership

    Being a regulated entrepreneur means recognizing when you're stressed, anxious, or emotionally activated—and having the tools to return to a place of clarity before making important decisions.

    3. Sometimes the Problem Isn't the Strategy

    Many entrepreneurs already know what they need to do.

    The challenge is that anxiety, perfectionism, overwhelm, or unresolved emotional experiences can make it difficult to actually implement those strategies.


    Practical Regulation Strategies for Entrepreneurs per Ashley Waddell

    Ashley recommends incorporating intentional moments of regulation throughout your day:

    ✔ Pause before reacting

    ✔ Take inventory of what your body is communicating

    ✔ Ask, "What story is playing in the background?"

    ✔ Journal—or record voice notes if writing isn't your style


    Memorable Quotes
    "Sometimes it's not that you don't have the strategy—it's that you don't feel safe enough to use it." Ashley Waddell

    How to Launch your Book like a Superstar and get Media Coverage and Sponsors | Dr. Pam Perry
    Jun 23 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Episode 803 | The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show

    Writing your book is only half the journey. The real question is: How do you launch it so people actually buy it, talk about it, and invite you to speak?

    In this powerhouse episode of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show, Sharvette welcomes back Dr. Pam Perry, nationally recognized PR strategist, branding expert, and founder of Perry PR, to reveal what separates an average book launch from a superstar launch.

    With more than 25 years of experience helping authors, speakers, and entrepreneurs secure media coverage, publishing opportunities, and national visibility, Dr. Pam shares practical strategies that every aspiring and published author needs to know.

    Whether you're writing your first book or preparing for your tenth, this conversation is filled with actionable marketing advice you can implement immediately.

    ✅ How to build a launch team before your book is released

    ✅ What belongs inside a professional media kit

    ✅ Why every author needs a press release

    ✅ How to attract media attention—even without a bestseller

    ✅ Creative ways to secure sponsors for your book


    Key Takeaways

    1. Start Marketing Before the Book Is Finished

    One of Dr. Pam's biggest recommendations is to begin building excitement months before publication.

    Test multiple book cover designs, gather audience feedback, and begin talking about your upcoming release long before launch day.

    2. Think Beyond Book Sales

    Your book is not the finish line.

    It opens doors to:

    • Speaking engagements
    • Podcast interviews
    • Corporate training
    • Workshops
    • Consulting
    • Brand partnerships

    A successful launch positions you as an expert—not just an author.
