The Midlife Biz with Susanne Rieker

You might have noticed a few changes around here, and I'm thrilled to finally spill the beans. First off, I've decided to give the podcast a bit of a makeover. Say goodbye to the Blissful Biz podcast and hello to the Midlife Biz podcast! It's a small tweak, but it better reflects the direction we're heading in. I also launched a new free community on Skool. It's called the Midlife Biz Hive, and it's the place to be if you're looking to connect with like-minded coaches and get access to exclusive content and bonus trainings. So, why the change? At the end of 2023 I pivoted my niche to coaches in midlife. But I'll admit, I wasn't fully embracing this new direction at first. It was a bit of a messy transition, but I have much more clarity now and I'm feeling more confident and focused than ever. I know change can be a bit scary, but I promise this is a change for the better. I'm so grateful to have you along for the ride, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us. ➡️ Join the Midlife Biz Hive and get access to my FREE course "Make Your First (or Next) $5k as an Online Coach" 💖 If you liked this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts – your feedback really makes a difference. 📆 Never miss a new episode and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. ✨ Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories - just be sure to tag @susannerieker so I can see them. 🎓 To learn more about how to work with me or to get instant access to freebies, trainings and more go to www.susannerieker.com. 🙏❤️ *** I’m hosting the Make Your First (or Next) $5k Online Bootcamp to help you kickstart your online business from May 6 - 10 and I would love to see you there!

I've noticed a common concern amongst some of my older students. They fear that they're late to the party. They think they're too old to start something new or fear they're too far behind to catch up. In today's world, where societal norms often dictate what we can or can't do based on our age, I’m here to challenge those limitations. I launched my first online course at the age of 46, and I’m full of gratitude of where that journey has led me. My mission is clear: to inspire and empower others to embrace their age and harness their unique strengths in the entrepreneurial world. So, in a funny spin, my guest today is my amazing coach Taylor Lee! Starting her business at just 20 years old, she grappled with her own insecurities about her age, mirroring the doubts that many of us older women face. In our conversation, we touched on important topics like ageism, finding your niche, embracing abundance, and chasing your dreams with unwavering determination. In essence, both of our stories reminds us all that it's never too early or too late to rewrite our own narratives and pursue what sets our souls on fire! ➡️ Connect with Taylor Lee on Instagram 🎙️ Listen to the Fully Free podcast with Taylor Lee 💖 If you liked this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts – your feedback really makes a difference. 📆 Never miss a new episode and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. ✨ Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories - just be sure to tag @susannerieker so I can see them. 🎓 To learn more about how to work with me or to get instant access to freebies, trainings and more go to www.susannerieker.com. 🙏❤️

Sometimes we just don’t have the bandwidth or the energy to go all in in our businesses. Life is happening, and that’s fine. 2022 was such a year for me, and in this episode, I’m sharing what’s been going on and how I still had a six-figure year, selling just one program and working around 4 hours a day. I remember driving through the South of Spain in my campervan when the magic happened – two pay-in-full sales of my high-ticket program in one day, $10,000 in the bag, all while living my dream. 🤩 Yep, that was a good day, and it still feels unreal. But this wasn't just some wishful manifestation happening. Listen in to learn how I made that work!

In this episode I talk about my offer suite in 2024, what I’m focusing on and how I plan to reach my financial goals.

But then, that’s not what business is like most of the time, and hopefully seeing my thought process behind my offer suite is going to be helpful for you and might have you rethink your offers in your business.
