Natalie Ellis
About this episode

Get ready to experience what it feels like to be in The Société membership as you listen to this episode. We’re dropping the recording from this month’s membership Q&A Call where Natalie and Lindsay answer relatable entrepreneurship questions from our members, and provide actionable advice on social media growth, maternity leave planning, hiring and managing your team, and so much more.

Some of the questions covered are: 

"What’s the balance between posting frequently (on Instagram) and prioritizing meaningful content that aligns with my values?"

"I have two team members but no clearly defined roles or job descriptions. How do I create clarity and avoid confusion?"

"How do you determine how long cart open periods should be, and what are the advantages of short versus long windows?"

Whether you're looking to build a sustainable business, make key pivots, or balance entrepreneurship with motherhood, this episode embraces it all + gives strategies to take your next steps confidently. You’ll also hear about the incredible milestone of Bossbabe hitting $10 million in membership revenue and why Natalie didn’t listen to the advice she was given when she started the membership 7 years ago.
