Mikaila Ulmer – CEO of Me & The Bees Lemonade – Turning a Bee Sting Into a Business (Oh, and by the way, she’s 13 years old!)

August 22, 2018 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Mikaila Ulmer on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

My guest today, Mikaila Ulmer, is probably one of the youngest entrepreneurs you’ve ever heard of. When she was just four years old, she was stung not once, but twice, in one week. What happened after the bee sting is nothing short of miraculous.

Mikaila’s parents were determined to take this bee sting experience and turn it into a positive, so they encouraged Mikaila to do some research on bees. And rest, as they say, is history.

Armed with her Great Granny Helen’s lemonade recipe, this 13 year-old CEO (yes, she’s 13) has taken the lemonade world by storm.

This year alone, Me & The Bees Lemonade, has sold over 360,000 bottles of their four flavors of lemonade in 28 states.

She’s been on Shark Tank and is a regular texting friend of Daymond John. Her advice is powerful and timely and I promise, you will forget that you’re listening to a 13 year-old. Her words of advice are simple, yet spot on for what it takes to succeed in today’s market.

You can Subscribe and Listen to the Podcast on Apple Podcasts. And be sure to leave me a Rating and Review!

You should start small. And that is really important so you know that your customers want the product and that they’re going to go out there and purchase it.” – Mikaila Ulmer

Show Notes:

  • What happened after she got stung twice by two bees in a week – this was the beginning of Me & The Bees Lemonade
  • The importance of just getting out there and doing it – start small
  • How she snagged a spot on SHARK TANK
  • How she navigates school, homework, hanging with friends and running a company
  • Her incredible Superpower – this was pure gold and you will see the simple but powerful message in this
  • How Mikaila has used her business to help SAVE THE BEES
  • And much, much more

I kind of initially started to get this toy that I wanted, but I decided to keep on going, and that’s how I got to where I am now.” – Mikaila Ulmer

Trick or Treat?

October 30, 2014 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

I just wanted to give you a quick heads up that the registration investment for my Moxie Retreat is getting ready to increase TOMORROW night, Friday, October 31 (on Halloween) at Midnight – No Trick – I promise.

Reserve in just 5 minutes:  Simply jump on over to our registration page so you can reserve your seat using our easy pay option and have until December 22, to change your mind. This will give you time to review all the information, your schedule AND you will be guaranteed a seat!

I'm making myself available tomorrow, Friday, October 31st for a short time in the morning and in the afternoon to jump on the phone with you for a 15 minute call to determine if the Moxie Retreat is right for you. My day is fairly booked tomorrow which means I can only speak with a limited number of people so if you want to jump on the phone with me, email my team at info@smartwomensolutions.com to schedule your private call with me.

When I think back to ALL the BIG leaps in success & income I’ve had over the years, I realize that a combination of two important things were present:

1. After experiencing the effects of some very expensive and very bad advice, I stopped asking and listening to people who could not possibly give me the support and sound advice I needed because they just did not have the skill set, or the experience to know the right answers. Instead, I sought out and thus received guidance, direction and solid business advice from people who were leaders in their industry – people who were more experienced and ahead of me in their entrepreneurial journey – they were where I wanted to be. Their advice to me was based on experience and results, instead of any theory or guesswork.

2. I was never in my office, deep in my work, when significant breakthroughs emerged. When I think about leaps that increased my income by 20-50%, they were always when I removed myself from my daily business tasks and responsibilities of my personal life. I was in an environment where I had a clear head and could reflect, refocus, re-energize, reclaim and reinvent my vision for my life and business.

That’s why I created the perfect space, forum and program for you to reclaim and refresh your vision and create the strategies necessary for you to get free from overwhelm while growing your business at the same time…

…I want to make sure you don’t miss out on my Moxie Retreat happening Feb. 5-7, 2015 in Los Angeles. During this two day retreat, I’m going to reveal all my results-getting strategies to grow a wildly thriving successful business without burning out. Yes, it is possible to have a business and a life you love when you know the exact steps to take and I’m going to spend two days personally showing you how.

10-30-10Announcement Moxie RetreetI must warn you that seating is limited and the registration investment increases TOMORROW NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT, Friday, October 31, 2014. Here’s another reason you'll want to grab your seat now. The women who’ve made the smart decision to register so far are highly successful, very smart, and extremely well-connected which means not only is there the possibility of collaborating with these already very successful business women but…the cumulative amount of sound business experience that will be in the room will probably be more than 500 years' worth…with plenty of opportunity to share and learn from each other.

If you have questions about the event, my team is ready and excited to jump on the phone with you. All you need to do is send us a quick email to info@smartwomensolutions.com and either Kathy or Lynne will happily assist you.

I'm making myself available tomorrow, Friday, October 31st for a short time in the morning and in the afternoon to jump on the phone with you for a 15 minute call to determine if the Moxie Retreat is right for you. My day is fairly booked tomorrow which means I can only speak with a limited number of people so if you want to jump on the phone with me, email my team at info@smartwomensolutions.com to schedule your private call with me.

October 6, 2014 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

9-24-14 JoyWhat if you could actually discover the secrets of the top 10% of the most successful business owners you already know…in one dynamic weekend?

What if you could stop working so darn much in your business and grow it by 50% at the same time over the next 12 months?

What if you could grow your business, have MORE time to enjoy your success and spend more time with those you love?

If this sounds of interest to you…Would you at least be curious enough to take a look at the possibilities? Considering how much revenue 50% growth represents to you and your business…perhaps it’s not a bad idea to just stop for 15 minutes to take a look…you have nothing to lose but 15 minutes. A small amount of time that has the potential to propel your business to new heights and give you the freedom and time to enjoy your success rather than being “chained to your desk?”

Click here now for details!

Cold Coffee and Three Ingredients to Foolproof Sales

July 25, 2014 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

07-25-14articleWhen I travel, the first thing I do when I reach my destination is scope out the coffee situation. I'm an early morning gal and I enjoy a hot cup of strong black coffee when I wake up to greet the day. When we arrived in Park City for our family vacation, I noticed the coffee pot in the kitchen was ancient but my thought was “at least I'll have coffee tomorrow morning.” I stopped by the local Starbucks, picked up my favorite brew, “Komodo Dragon” and marked it off my to-do list.

When I woke the next morning and for several mornings after, I found myself drinking warm (I'm being generous here), terrible tasting coffee. I started making trips to the lone Starbucks in town to satisfy my desire for hot, steamy, coffee.
