Natalie Eckdahl: Get a Lot of Things Done Fast With BizChix

About Natalie Eckdahl

As a busy Mom of two (and one on the way) and co-Founder of ScheduleMAX.com and BizChix.com, home of the Biz Chix Podcast, Natalie is trying to juggle a million things and is on a quest for the holy grail of “Work/Life Balance” and she says “We are going to crack the code on that one people!”

Greatest Sales Success

  • Started Schedule Max in 2010 with her husband. It took a year to really make happen but they stuck it out and are growing nicely today.

  • Launched the Biz Chix podcast in three weeks! Had a logo, a landing page and an idea at New Media Expo in early January and within three weeks her podcast was launched. She lined up a string of experts to interview over three weeks and launched. She had 15 done and launched with three so people could actually “subscribe.” This helps with download numbers, too. Over the next two weeks she released daily so iTunes can look backwards every 48 hours to see how you’re trending. Then get reviews and ratings.

Rubber-Meets-The-Road Tip

  • Hire a Virtual Assistant. Quit trying to do it all.

  • Uses LastPass for Firefox to share passwords so her VA doesn’t have the actual passwords.

  • Offer things other than money to your staff and contractors to get them motivated. She offered an iPad and her developers hit a tight deadline.

  • Get in a community to help each other grow. (Check out what Wes is launching at Market Like A Man to help along those lines.)
