  • 206. Knowing when it's time to move on in your career
    Oct 31 2024

    As we record the final episodes of Besties & Business, we’re diving into the meaningful conversations we still want to share with you. In Episode 204, we explored how endings don’t always have to be seen as negative. Today, we’re building on that by sharing how each of us recognized it was time to step away from Besties & Business.

    Deciding to move on in your career can feel overwhelming, but the truth is that the only person who truly knows what’s best for you—is YOU. By sharing our experiences, we hope to inspire you to explore your own inner world. Remember, you’re never alone—and we’re always here if you want to chat.

  • 205. [Interview] Step into your selling power with Jillian Murphy
    Oct 17 2024

    Hey Besties we are SO excited for this interview with Jillian Murphy!

    Jillian is someone who we have looked up to for a while here at Besties & Business! So ofcourse when we started chatting with her & she said she would come on the podcast we were SO excited!

    This conversation is FILLED with so much value! We are SO grateful for Jillian taking the time to sit down with us to have this amazing conversation!

    Jillian is someone who is So beyond real! She chats in this episode about how the last year or so of her life has been & what has been motivating her to show up in such a real & authentic way! Jillian really opens up to us about how she has stepped into her power in what she does by truly surrounding herself with the right people! She really opens up about what community has done for her & why it is so important!

    Let's get to know Jillian:

    Jillian Murphy is a highly sought-after sales and business mentor who has mastered the art of sales and scaling not only her own business but has helped hundreds of other online business owners as well. With over 22 years of business experience in sales/marketing and growing multiple businesses of her own, she has now made it her mission to help online business owners gain REAL results in sales and messaging. Sales is truly the oxygen of your business and the most important skill any business owner can acquire. She has been able to grow her own business from 0 to 6 figures in 1 year; hit her first 6 figure month in 18 months and just under a half million by year 2. All without any fancy systems, ads, or even a website. It was all done with the art of communication and the art of sales!

    We both walked away from this conversation feeling fired up about our businesses! So we can only imagine how YOU are going to feel Bestie!

  • 204. The power in letting go: embracing our final months with Besties & Business
    Sep 26 2024

    Hey Besties....we are BACK!

    It has been a hot minute since we have gotten to sit down & chat with you! If you follow us on social media, you KNOW we made a pretty big announcement in the last few weeks! We are SO excited to finally sit down & chat about it with you Besties!

    In this episode, we get REAL & candid about our decision to close this chapter of Besties & Business at the end of 2024! We have decided to end the podcast & we will no longer be doing Networking events in NJ.

    This was NOT an easy decision, once-so-ever & in this episode we really bring you in on our mindset as to WHY we are making this HUGE decision!

    Since day 1 of Besties & Business, we always have chatted about evolving in business & pivoting! In this episode we get REAL about how we have been going through this in REAL time.

    We have always brought you Besties in on our journey through the last two years & we will continue to do so! We truly are SO excited for these next few months here at Besties! We can't WAIT to record more episodes & bring you in even deeper on what we have been expereicning since making this HUGE decision!

    We hope that this episode helps answer some of those questions that have been on your minds Besties & we hope that this is another reminder that it is OKAY to change your mind Besties. It is OKAY to grow, evolve, & make changes to get to where you want to be!

    We LOVE you Besties!!!!
