6-Figure Secrets

I made a goal in my business that by the end of 2024 I would grow my email list to 10,000 subscribers. Instead, I reached this goal in 8 months!

Early in 2024 I realized that the tipping point in my business was my email list size. That if my email list grow, my sales would increase. So I made my only goal in 2024 to grow my email list. 

In this week's podcast episode I'm sharing how I accomplished this goal, what I had to do to make it happen, and the shift I realized as I was working towards this goal. 

TAKEAWAYS:

• Find a proven system that works. Two things that I know have worked to grow my email list Meta Ads and collaborations. So instead of trying something new, I decided to expand on what's already working.  
• Keep the main thing, the main thing. Once you find your system that’s working, the question becomes how can I change it, maybe even just slightly, to reach my goals and get more results. 
• Sometimes business is nothing more than a numbers game. When I realized this, it made things so much more simple.

We all have a love-hate relationship with our phones, especially if you have a business.

There is so much noise about screen addiction, how our phones are causing our attention spans to decrease, and the harm it causes to our brains.

And while this may be true, I think that our phones can be amazing devices to support us, and that if we set our phones up in the right way, we can change the story we have around our phones and how we are connected to them.

In this episode, I want to share with you some strategies I've implemented to switch my perspective to my phone is a "necessary evil" to a device that supports me and my goals. 

TAKEAWAYS:

• Sending text messages when you get a sale. I love getting texts that come through that I have made a sale when I’m not working. For my life and my brand, this is awesome and a huge motivator. Your business should sell for you while you’re living your life and getting these text messages reiterate what is possible. 
• Knowing our limits with our devices. You can set limits on your phone for how long you want to be on certain apps. I set limits on my phone to align with how I want to show up. 
• Turn off notifications. I do not get any notifications because they distract me. When I am working at my desk, I put my phone on airplane mode so I don’t get distracted. This helps with my productivity and helps me to stay focused. 
• Using apps that support your business and life. I like to use apps for my health and time management that help me set goals and use my time wisely. One app I love is toggl which tracks my time on certain tasks which helps me when blocking time for business tasks.

Heather Sager is a speaking coach and business mentor, helping you turn your voice into your best marketing asset for growing your business.

She is a former consulting executive turned global speaker and trainer, host of the Hint of Hustle podcast, and creator of the Speaker Society. She's also a mom of 3 boys and lives with her family in beautiful Bend, OR.

TAKEAWAYS:

• How do you know if you are a good communicator? Notice if people are talking back to you. When you are recording videos and asking people to take action, are they actually doing what you tell them to do? If no one is downloading your freebie or taking action, your communication skills are not effective. You might be fun or entertaining, but if you can’t get a person to take action, your communication might not be effective. 
• Become a better communicator by instituting a daily ramble. Simply ask yourself questions people might ask you and figure out how you can best get to your response. When you practice and know your topics and ideas, you will ramble less and you will resonate with more people.
• When your communication is effective you don’t care about what other people think, so you become less stressed about your business. This allows you to focus on how you can make people feel better in your presence. We are so sometimes too focused on outcomes and results and need to focus on the feeling and experience people have with us.

Y’ALL, I’M 40! Woah, what a milestone! 

This week’s episode is a bit different for a variety of reasons, but the biggest one you need to know is that I recorded this episode on the day it went live, which is NOT my normal recording schedule.

(Usually I'm a 4 weeks in advance, kinda girl.) 

Why? 

Because I finally granted myself permission to not create the best podcast episode I’ve ever recorded. 

Instead, I challenged myself to record this episode in one take with minimal notes. 

In this episode, I reflect on turning 40, what that means for my business, what I’d do differently if I could start my business again, and why I don’t believe in mistakes.

Linda Perry is a mindset coach and business strategist who works with individuals, business owners, and their teams to become more self-driven and move toward 7-figure success.

So many people get stuck on a plateau and don’t know how to move forward! Linda uses a mindset-first approach to support individuals and their teams to tap into their core motivations and strengths, and frees them from their blocks so they can soar past 7-figures.

She is also a recovering attorney and copywriter and uses her skills of persuasion to show business owners how to make the impact they desire. Linda works with clients through private coaching, group courses and workshops. She is also the lead business instructor at Levin Life Coach Academy where she teaches new coaches how to build a thriving coaching practice.

TAKEAWAYS:

• Look at your decisions. For example, did you decide to take a client because of money? You might be afraid that there will not be another client next, so you might miss red flags and rationalize your decision. 
• Separate fact from fiction. Fear is often wrapped in a story from something in the past that is what ifs and shoulds. 
• Reduce resistance. The truth is we stick to what we fear the most. Accept where you are and surrender one thing. We tend to expect the worst, and we all have a negative bias. We are wired to think of the worst-case scenario, but what is equally possible is that something great is waiting for us around the corner.

I have had an online business for about 10 years now and have been in many virtual mentoring groups. I recently wanted some more in-person connections and decided to join a local group. I thought that joining a more local group would be worlds different from my online business, but what I found was that the conversations were exactly the same, and the really interesting part was that I was getting to see the same problem(s) from new perspectives. 

Talking to other business owners confirmed how I have been feeling about business. No matter what industry, model, or location you have, there are universal truths in our businesses. So, no matter what type of business you run, there are some universal business truths that every business owner should understand, know, and embrace. 

TAKEAWAYS:

• The problem you’re experiencing right now is not unique. Someone before you has had this exact same pain point. Because your problem isn’t unique, there is a solution. You have to be willing to do the work to find and implement the solution. 
• There is a difference between facts and feelings. If you only operate off feelings, you’ll never get anywhere. Look at things from a numbers perspective and make a plan. What do you need to do to create change? Look at the data and then you will develop a plan when you have facts. 
• Sometimes your business is literally nothing more than a numbers game. This is a simple, logical way to look at your business.  More sales come through with bigger numbers. The more leads you have, the bigger your email lists, the more you will sell your thing. The more you have, the bigger ROI you will see.
