-Gwendolen Wilder
SUMMARY (AI ASSISTED)
This podcast conversation features Gwendolyn Wilder, a mom, retired United States Air Force member, certified business strategist, HR senior consultant, and bestselling co-author. The conversation focuses on the concept of business fear and how to identify and address it. Gwendolyn defines business fear as an obstacle or challenge that is preventing someone from reaching their desired level of success.
She shares her own experience of dealing with domestic violence while running a successful business and how it impacted her life. The speaker then explains that our perception of business fears is based on our socialization, which is determined by our interactions with our environment, work, home, and social life.
She identifies seven main categories of business fears that female entrepreneurs will come across regardless of their experience level: money blocks; mindset blocks; sales blocks; systems blocks; support blocks; visibility blocks; and lifestyle blocks. The speaker then provides steps to identify an individual's number one business fear by recognizing the feeling associated with it (anxiety or overwhelm) and identifying the root cause (visibility/credibility/confidence/money/time/perfectionism/comparison).
Finally, she introduces the Wilder Storytelling Framework as a three-part structure for creating an effective brand story in order to attract a wider audience and make sales. This podcast conversation focuses on how to effectively use a brand story on social media and the roadmap to success when using it.
Gwendolyn Wilder, the speaker, outlines her Wilder Success Strategy which consists of six steps to help identify business fears, incorporate them into a brand story, and position it on social media. This strategy involves understanding the client's situation and talking about how you are the go-to expert for them. Additionally, they discuss their V2 Client Attraction Strategy which is based on two frameworks: voluntary and given value.
