Female Rage, The Email


Hey Reader!

How's that for a subject line?!

It's actually the subject line that stopped me in my tracks and had me immediately reach out to have this person on my podcast after reading the entire email. That person is Jenny Roth and you get to hear from her this week 🥳

*Scroll down to read the entire "Female rage" email if you'd like.

Why It Matters For You:

If you've ever hesitated to price an offering or stuttered when telling someone what you do for a living, this conversation will help you never do that again.

It's time you follow through and make the money you want to make in your business.

The Guest:

Jenny Roth is a sales copywriter for female founders who want to sell with FIRE copy their audience loves to read and buy from. Her copywriting process is rooted in words that build relationships with your clients ~ so they feel confident and EXCITED (and have zero buyer’s remorse!) when working with you. Jenny is also a farmer's wife, mom to three daughters, a high school running coach, and a big fan of staying in with a good book.

In This Week's Episode:

  • Be specific about your financial goals and why you want to achieve them.
  • Gratitude is important, but it shouldn't hold you back from pursuing your financial goals.
  • Take audacious action and go after what you want in your business.

Jenny's Email In It's Entirety

“When you go to your first job interview and they ask you about salary, you look them in the eye and you tell them:

'When deciding on my salary, think of me like a man.

My income does not supplement my partner's income.

I am the breadwinner of my home. I pay my bills. Don't pay me like you would pay a woman applying for this position. Pay me like you'd pay a man.'”

My college professor, who was obviously a total badass, gave me this advice. At the time, I thought she was a little over the top.

I don't think that anymore.

Anytime someone asks me my WHY …like, Why do you do business, really?

I say something like:

Because I want to help people. Because I want my words to make a difference. Because I want my words to help women build wealth and freedom and connect them to the clients who they can help.

True. All true.

AND ALSO –

Between you and me, there's a little more to it.

I do what I do so that when I see my old boss, who 'very carefully' explained to me that he didn't need to give me a raise because I was 'just a homeschool mom earning extra cash', posting jobs for $15 per hour, I can know that I won't ever have to depend on him for any 'wonderful opportunities' ever, ever, ever again.

I do what I do because, even though I am very happily married, there have been times in my life where I did not think I could leave a terrible situation because I was afraid of not being able to support myself and my kids, and I want to always be able to take care of myself and my girls financially without anyone's help, no questions asked.

I do what I do so I can remember that one guy who asked me what I did for a living and then legit laughed in my face and said, “Writer, huh? That must pay ~real~ well, is your husband rich or what?” and know that I easily make more than he does in a year. Maybe he needs a rich husband, I dunno :).

I have a business so that I can depend on me.

Because I have always, always wanted to take care of myself and make my own decisions and earn my own money.

Because I have three girls and I want them to know that mom bought that and that they can buy it too.

Shallow? No.

It's not. It's the truth, and if you're a girl who has ever worked in this world, I bet you have stories just like mine. If you're a girl who has ever worked in this world, you know we're supposed to 'help' people.

But you already help people - every day, all the time. You can get paid well to do it, too. Period.

So, what is your real WHY for doing business? Your other why? Your female rage, the email version.

Share it with your audience today and see if anyone relates to your story.

Hey Reader! There are actually 2 big announcements in this week's podcast: This is the final episode of The Unapologetic Entrepreneur Podcast 🥹 I'm launching a new podcast in December 🎉 Wow, right?!

Hey Reader! I'm a big fan of setting 90 day goals and realistic plans to achieve them but there is a time for dreaming BIG and it's this time of year. Cue the 2025 calendar purchase, fall scented candles and lots of journaling and reflecting. I love it all! But if you want the dream to become a reality, you'll need the mindset and the belief that it's actually possible for you 😘 Why It Matters For You: If you've dreamed BIG before and it didn't come to life it doesn't mean you can't make it...
