008: What You Don't Realize You Are Signing Up For As An Entrepreneur

WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR AS AN ENTREPRENEUR 

Okay, can we cut the crap here...life as an entrepreneur isn't all rainbows and butterflies like it is made to seem on social media.The only problem is that there are way too many entrepreneurs who DON'T feel safe in sharing the ugly side of running your own business. Which is why I am not like any other coach or entrepreneur out there. I am not here to sugar coat things for you or to make it seem like everything is perfect when that actually isn't the case. Being an entrepreneur is fricking harddddd and anyone who is telling you different is lying. 

What we don’t realize when we sign up for the life as an entrepreneur is that we are asking (whether we like it or not) to have all of our fears, doubts, limiting beliefs and worries handed to us on a silver platter. Where we have no choice BUT to deal with them.

That is at least you if you want a successful business. I promise you that no one that has made it to a 6 and 7 figure business hasn’t done this work because you have no choice in the matter. Regardless of if you have a team or not, it is YOU that needs to show up. You that needs to put in the work, you that has to do the work to transmute and overcome your fears. You who chooses to continuously heal as you evolve as an entrepreneur. 

Because the truth is that the fears never go away. An unpopular opinion (but one that i see happen time + time again) is that we fail to recognize that WE are the main reason standing in the way of our goals for ourselves and our businesses. 

Which is why on today's episode I am going through the 3 most common ways that we sabotage our success as entrepreneurs.

In this episode we are diving into:

  • Understanding how our past massively effects our business and how we show up in it 
  • How to take radical responsibility for where you are at in your business today
  • How we can never create abundance from a lack mindset and how to change that 
  • How our fear of "not wanting to sound salesy" is costing us money 
  • The easiest way to sell, without ever feeling like you are selling 
  • Why playing the "what if" game is holding you back from going ALL IN on your business 
  • How to turn your failures into the fuel to guide you to your success  

 

Just like every year has its seasons, so does being an entrepreneur. As hard as business can be at times it is also equally, if not more rewarding. The challenges of being an entrepreneur will never go away but its once you are able to realize how you hold yourself back that you get to over come your fears quicker than you thought possible. 

That's why I'm excited to announce the official launch of my new program the AWAKENED ENTREPRENEUR! This program is for you if:

  • You are questioning whether or not you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur
  • Feel like you are falling behind + like you should be further ahead in your business
  • Feel overwhelmed → you have all of these ideas for what to do next in your business but don’t know where to start
  • You have jumped from coach to coach, program to program and still feel like something is missing
  • Spend a lot of time working, but don’t actually know what you have to show for it  
  • Showing up consistently but no matter what action you take, it’s never easy to get clients 
  • You question yourself every step of the way, as soon as you decide to do something you second guess it and so you start from square one over and over again never fully committing

The Awakened Entrepreneur is for the entrepreneur who feels like they have tried everything and nothing is working. Who has followed all the "rules" that you have been taught and all it's done is caused resistance to your business. This is for the entrepreneur who is tired of feeling like they don't know what sets them apart and is ready to discover their magic that makes them STANDOUT! Don't wait to claim your spot before they fill up, CLICK HERE to apply!

052: Why You Don't Need Lots of Followers to Make Money

WHY YOU DON'T NEED LOTS OF FOLLOWERS TO MAKE MONEY 

 

 

Tell me, have you ever told yourself that when I have "x" amount of followers in my business then I will FINALLY be able to make "x" amount of money?

I know that I used to think that way! I couldn't wait for the day that my account hit 10,000 followers because it meant that I would finally be able to tell my audience "SWIPE UP to register!" Thank gosh to IG for making the link feature available to everyone now. 

So I understand that it can be easy to think that the answer to all of our problems (signing clients and making more money) could be solved by having more followers....only having more followers isn't going to be what solves them.  

Which is why on today's episode we are talking all about: 

  • Why you don't need a large audience to make over 6 figures in your business 
  • Why walking away from an IG account with over 20,000 followers to start from scratch was the BEST decision I ever made 
  • What is a target audience and why it's so important to have a targeted following 
  • How to attract an audience that is ready and wants to PAY you 

Remember while having a large audience may feel good, it's a targeted audience that pays good!  

Are you a coach who is looking to sign high ticket clients consistently online so that you can scale your business to 6 figures? If so, AWAKENED ENTREPRENEUR IS OPEN FOR ENROLEMENT!

This 4 month group coaching program will help you to:

  • organically grow your social media account with 100 -1000's of dream clients, so you can stop spending hours following accounts (that rarely ever end up following you)
  • know exactly how to create content that has your inbox flooded with DM's of: "where can I sign up," and "link please?!"
  • create a program that is EXACTLY what your dream client has been looking, where sales have never felt easier, and neither has filling your coaching spots 

If you are ready to experience your most successful cash months of 2022 yet, this program was designed exactly for you! CLICK HERE to apply!

051: How To ACTUALLY Measure Consistency in Business

HOW TO ACTUALLY MEASURE CONSISTENCY IN BUSINESS 

 

Is it just me or have you also felt like you have been talking to crickets these past few months?

Have you felt disappointed and discouraged every-time that you looked at your social media analytics, only to see that your engagement has tanked?  

If so, you are NOT alone my friend!

Through conversations on IG, as well as, with my clients let me know that I am not alone in feeling this way. So I decided to have a conversation about it while also diving into what consistency looks like in terms of our businesses. 

I think too often in business it is easy to forget where we have come from and what we have built because we are so laser focused on where we want to go and the fact that we aren't there yet. 

Which means that it is also extremely easy to overlook everything that we HAVE accomplished. 

Which then often makes "off" months, feel like "off" quarters. Which isn't usually the case. 

 

On today's podcast episode we are talking all about: 

  • Understanding the seasons in your business
  • So things are slow...and what do you do about it 
  • Analyzing your interaction and how you have been recently showing (or not showing) up on social media
  • Understanding what consistency means to YOU (extremely important) 
  • How to measure your level of consistency

 

Remember consistently signing clients in your business doesn't just happen over night, it takes time!

The worst thing you can do is beat yourself up between the time that it takes you to get to the next level of consistency that you desire. 

I bet that when you sit down and do the consistency exercise in this episode that you will be pleasantly surprised with where you are at in your business. 

 

Are you a coach who is looking to sign high ticket clients consistently online so that you can scale your business to 6 figures? If so, AWAKENED ENTREPRENEUR IS OPEN FOR ENROLEMENT!

050: Why Your Content Isn't Converting and What To Do About It

WHY YOUR CONTENT ISN'T CONVERTING AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT 

 

Let's be honest creating content can feel like a full time job...in fact for some of us it is. 

So what ends up happening when we are creating content consistently, yet not signing clients consistently? 

We hate it...that's what.

And the more that we hate it, the harder the creation process feels, the harder the process feels, the less we want to do it, the less we want to do it..the less clients we sign. 

So we end up getting ourselves into a creative funk and don't know how to get out of it. 

What I have come to learn by working with almost 100 clients, is that there are usually 2 reasons why our content isn't converting:

  • We don't understand the different levels of awareness (buyer phases) of our ideal clients 

OR 

  • We understand the levels of awareness but not how to talk/write content to each level to warm them up through our content 

 

Which is why on  today's episode I dive into:

  • The three levels of awareness of your ideal client 
  • Two most commonly created types of content and the ONE critical type that is missing 
  • The most overlooked part of our audience and why overlooking them is costing us money 
  • Why you don't need a large following to make more money 
  • How to warm up and build trust with the following you already have 

 

 

Here's the thing...you don't actually need more followers to make more money. You just have to speak to the ones that you already have. You are sitting on a gold mine and don't even know it yet. 

PS. Want to learn how to create epic content that turns your loyal followers into loyal buyers? In my FREE 3 day BITCHHHH, I'M BOOKED bootcamp I am showing you how to write copy so compelling it takes you from crickets to clients. So if signing dream, where have you been all my life clients off of a single post is your jam...I'll see you there. CLICK HERE to register!

049: How the Stories We Tell Ourselves Effect Our Lives

HOW THE STORIES WE TELL OURSELVES EFFECT OUR LIVES 

I am going to be brutally honest with you....lately life has felt like a bit of a shit show! From selling our townhouse, temporarily moving in with my parents, finding the perfect rental, planning to move into our fifth wheel before moving into the perfect rental all while running a business has made me feel a little like a chicken with my head cut off. 

Needless to say, it's felt like a LOT!! 

What's made it feel even worse is the fact that I was telling myself that it was a lot. I have been constantly caught up in feeling like there is so much to do, and not enough time to do it. And the more that I told myself that...the more that I believed it and the more true that it felt. 

Our lives are the reality of the stories that we tell ourselves. Our beliefs create our thoughts, our thoughts create our action and our action create our reality. Since my thoughts have been rooted in stress, anxiety, pressure...what do you think my current reality has felt like?

STRESS!

ANXIETY!

And soooooo much pressure...

As someone who has been deeply immersed in personal development, mindset and energy work for over the past 5 years I am no stranger to the ways in which I self sabotage. And these past few weeks my saboteur has been the one running the show. 

Which is why on  today's episode I dive into:

  • How to identify patterns that are keeping us stuck in our lives and/or businesses 
  • How the change the stories that you are telling yourself 
  • Gaining clarity on what it is that you DO want to feel 
  • How to catch yourself when you feel you are slipping back into old patterns 
  • My top tip to get you back into alignment 

 

The silver lining to all of this is that we really are more powerful than we will ever give ourselves credit for. Where we are today is a sum of our beliefs, the stories we have told ourselves and what we believe to be true for us. And if where you are at currently isn't where you want to be, you have absolutely EVERYTHING that you need inside of you to change it. 

You just have to decide that your story is worth changing. And once you do, watch how quickly your life changes! 

 

PS. Want to learn how to sign clients consistently through social media while working less than 5 hrs/day? Awakened Entrepreneur starts on Sept 19th! This is my 4 month program that shows you everything you need to know to consistently sign clients and build a 6 figure business. CLICK HERE to apply for the next round!

048: How to Create Your 6 Figure Business Strategy - Part 2

HOW TO CREATE YOUR 6 FIGURE BUSINESS STRATEGY - PART 2

There is no one size fits all when it comes to strategy and how to run your business. There is only ONE way and that way is the way that is PERFECT for you. 

Which also happens to be a strategy that is completely unique to you, your energy, your lifestyle, your vision and what you want to create.

Yet so often what ends up happening is that instead of creating our own business strategy we follow what is either taught to us or what we see working well for someone else. What often ends up happening when we do this is one of two things:

  1. The strategy works for awhile, until it doesn't work at all 
  2. We follow it and we have complete resistance to it, but continue to follow it 

Both of which contribute to a lack of inspiration and motivation for your business which just creates more resistance for you. 

So how do you create the perfect strategy for you? 

FIRST you stop by trying to following someone else's strategy and second you START finding your own. 

Which is exactly what I am helping you discover on today's episode and why we talk all things:

  • what is the MICRO strategy for your business
  • the four components that make up the micro strategy for your business 
  • why how you support yourself both in AND outside of your business is crucial to your success
  • how to sell multiple offers at a time as a multi passionate entrepreneur 
  • why understanding the levels of awareness of your audience is key in your content strategy 
  • discovering which way you like to sell MOST so you can sign clients consistently 

 

Remember: A vision without action is a dream and action without a vision is just work. It's when you combine both your vision and action that you end up seeing it through to fruition!
