Small businesses need to be acutely aware of their cash flow. This leads to many hiring consultants for specific project work over the more costly and labour-intensive hiring of staff.
When looking to work with a consultant it is important to set clear expectations and understand what you are paying for. As a consultant, you must provide clear deliverables, a proper breakdown of fees and expenses, and check-in points throughout the project.
The relationship between consultants and their clients is both professional and friendly. Sometimes discussions around fees and expectations can be difficult. Alyssa and Dakota provide insights on how they outline these items to be successful both for the client and the consultant.

Feminine vs. masculine. The ultimate push and pull. Women can struggle to decide when to lean into either form; especially in the business world.
As per Pause Mediation âMasculine energy is characterised by DOING and achieving and is molded by logic and reason. The feminine is more intuitive, oriented towards receiving and allowing, and characterised by BEING. When these energies are balanced, we experience a greater sense of harmony and fulfilment.â
All humans have both sides of these energies, but understanding when and how to lean into each can make your personal and business relationships healthier.

It was The Tortured Poets Department release day so Alyssa and Dakota got sidetracked into the Taylor Swift rabbit hole. No one can argue she is a marketing genius so two marketers discussing her excellence in that area is no surprise.
What is interesting is that Taylor has notoriously had a rough go on the relationship front, as seen in her lyrics but she may have found her âend gameâ which has eluded both Alyssa and Dakota to date.
As is their style, Alyssa and Dakota dig into the relationship wringer and wonder why itâs so difficult to find a man who can step up to meet them instead of always feeling they need to step down.

We all have been in those situations of having to pull off a major event, campaign or project. Going over and above is a normal part of business life, but when it becomes a regular occurrence, it is exhausting and inefficient.
Ensuring client success should not come at the expense of your physical and mental health. Alyssa and Dakota discuss examples of playing the hero with their clients and provide insights on how they are making adjustments to their businesses to reflect their offerings and get out of the day-to-day operational activities of their clients and why you should too.

With the recent news of Jay Shettyâs background being fabricated, itâs clear we donât do enough vetting of wellness and self-help creators. Well, actually we donât do well with vetting any influencers.
We know influencer marketing is a billion-dollar industry but what do we really know about who is selling us products? Or courses? Or supplements?
This week Alyssa and Dakota delve into the Jay Shetty mess, along with discussing how consumers can do better with determining who is behind many of these large influencer accounts while learning how to push through the layers of misinformation and even how to be a better influencer yourself.

Four years, 100 episodes, thousands of hours of conversations. Dakota and Alyssa look back at the evolution of Ladies Who Launch since its inception in 2020 and provide their insights on favourite episodes and guests.
Itâs been both exhilarating and exhausting to navigate the world of podcasts. Who knew there were so many ways to record and host episodes? Prepping and scheduling guests is almost a full-time job. Why would anyone keep doing it? WellâŠpassion.
Dakota and Alyssa started Ladies Who Launch in April 2020 as an outlet to survive the first months of COVID-19. Neither of them anticipated they would still be here four years later. The debates, conversations and emotional releases that LWL has provided are cathartic.
Thank you to everyone who has listened to episodes while walking the dog, making dinner, or even wearing AirPods at your work cubicle. Your continued support makes Ladies Who Launch more than Dakota and Alyssa could ever have imagined.
