  • Conquering Fear & Facing Your Inner Mean Girl with Angela Naumann

    In this week's episode of Aligned & Ambitious Radio, we are joined by Certified Life Coach, Angela Naumann. What she does is help female coaches who are: 

     

    • Stressed out
    • Not getting stuff done
    • Wondering how to balance life without becoming overwhelmed. 

     

    With a practical step by step plan, she specializes in helping you silence your inner mean girl, stop half-assing your habits, and step into being courageous and confident in your life and business.

     

    “Today, you guys, we're gonna talk to you about self-sabotaging and what that looks like and really how it affects everything else. It stalls your growth, affects your bottom line,

    it affects so many things.”

     

    Throughout the episode, Angela and I are going to focus on topics that revolve around you as an entrepreneur with a promising career, and as a woman. In the process, we are also going to help you silence your inner mean girl with some practical tips and guidance throughout the episode.

    We are going to kick-off the discussion with Angela’s take on self-sabotaging that takes place in the coaching industry, what causes it, and how we’re going to respond in these make or break moments that can totally shape the trajectory of your entire life. As we go along, we’re also going to tackle the new “devils” and “mindset issues” that you’re going to encounter in your journey. 

     

    It will be an entirely holistic conversation as we check in on every facet of your life. Aside from getting to the bottom line of your business and finances, we will also implore you to look into your relationships, even your marriage, and ultimately, the rest of your life. I hope this episode helps you break through your self-sabotage and take off in your business and your life!

  • Are You Taking Radical Responsibility in Your Life

    This week on Aligned & Ambitious Radio, we are talking about taking radical responsibility for the experiences and outcomes we have in our life.  This discussion also involved taking responsibility for trusting our intuition and opening ourselves up to being willing to receive what is meant for us.

     

    “So I want to talk about taking radical responsibility for your life. And I was beginning to say this in the other video, some people are going to feel offended. Some people are going to feel triggered. Some people are going to be like, it's easy for you to say. Some people are going to think it's rather bullshit. That's all totally fine. You are all entitled to your own opinions. But every single experience you have in life, whether that's the way you experience your career, the way you experience your relationship, the way you experience money and debt or receiving business and good things and big breaks and all the things you want. It's direct, and is directly related to what you are putting out into the world.”

     

    Throughout the episode, we will discuss how you cannot fuck up what is meant for you, but you have to start taking responsibility for the things that you want and the way you show up to get what you want.  Those that are on the fence about purchasing a course or a coaching package are not operating from the same energetic vibration as those who trusted themselves and went all in on their business. That is why people who have already signed up for Dream Client Accelerator (DCA) are already seeing results.

    Episode 46: How Date with Destiny Changed my Life

     

    I want to take the time to point out that running a business is so much more than just the strategy behind it.  Running a business is a spiritual game. You need to EMBODY the energy that you want to experience in your life and your business.  You need to open up, trust and be ready to receive what you want.

     

    I like to use an analogy of a house to kind of explain this to you.  So you are doing a huge remodel on your home, and you’ve totally gutted your house and you have all this work to do.  So before you even start putting the house back together from the foundation up you get online and you order all this furniture for this house, and now this furniture is ordered, it’s on its way.  But your house is just not complete, it’s not ready to receive that furniture.  

     

    This is similar to your business.  You think you’re ready for all of these clients, but you still need to invest in the course, you still need to do the mindset work, you still need to embody that energetic state that you want to match.  Just like your house still needs drywall and floors and cabinets and counters before it is ready to receive the furniture.

     

    Ultimately, what it comes down to is the belief in yourself.  And that block, that lack of belief in yourself, is going to make you hesitant to invest in yourself time and time again.  We need to take responsibility for the outcome of our actions and realize if we want a different result we need to show up differently.

  • Creating the Client Experience that Sets Your Business Apart

    This week on Aligned & Ambitious Radio, we’ll have a conversation about how we’re showing up for our clients at any given time and discuss how our efforts impact them and their business. 

     

    “If you guys have been around for a minute, you know, I'm super passionate about client experience. I'm super passionate about relationship building and one of my core values (not just) in my business but also in my life and me as a person is I really care about over delivering.”

     

    Throughout the episode, we will talk about how we share our programs and offers with our clients as well as the different ways that we can over deliver and why doing that is important. A statistic that my team and I are constantly reviewing and calculating is how many times a client works with us.  Currently in my business, this metric shows that 98% of our paying clients have worked with us at least three times. They have reinvested with us at least three times.

    Episode #20: Selling Out Your High Ticket Offer

     

    I truly believe that the continued trust and patronage of my clients have something to do with how I show up for them and my core value of over delivering. 

     

    You can have the same impact on your own clients, you just need to: 

     

     

    • Think about how you can make their experience in working with you a unique one.
    • Think of ways to make the entire experience of working with you memorable. 
    • Plan on how you’re going to stand out in the sea of other people that are doing things similar to what you’re doing. 

     

     

    These things shouldn’t come from a place of comparison like “How can I be better than the market?” Your inspiration should be born out of your want to create the type of experience for your client that they aren’t likely to forget, and nobody could even compete with since it’s so unique. 

     

    As we go through the episode, I will also name some brands that embody the same ideals as mine. As a result, I just love to purchase from them, be in their store or website, and engage with them because of that unique client experience. 

     

    This will be a unique and intimate discussion with you guys so stay tuned!

  • The Top Two Reasons Why You Aren't Making Sales

    In this week's episode of Aligned & Ambitious Radio, allow me to simplify your sales process for you and talk about the top two reasons you’re not making sales.

     

    "Most of the time - 90% of the time actually, I see my clients struggling to make sales because these two things are just totally out of whack, so I want to dive into them today. They are not strategies, they are going to be really more simple than you think, which is my jam. I'm all about keeping it super simple and fun for you guys."

     

    Throughout this episode I discuss in detail the two main reasons you need to:

    a.) have an idea on the things that you are doing right, so you can continue doing them

    b.) figure out the things that you are falling short on so you can revisit your formula and make tweaks here and there and

    c.) formulate new content and processes to further improve the things that are already working and make sure that your clients are getting the absolute best from you.

    In addition, we are going to highlight the importance of doing market research to make sure you are always aligned with your clients, touch-base on why getting “too close” with the ideas we formulate isn’t also recommended as we go through our entire creative process, and learn a thing or two on how we can better communicate with our client and audience because at the end of the day it’s messaging that truly sells.

     

    Before we wrap up, you will learn how not to overthink and overcomplicate things to make those sales rather effortlessly.

  • Dream Client Accelerator Challenge: Day 3 Sales

    If you’re reading this right now, you’ve probably been wondering if this is the right next move for your business. 

     

    Mmmm, I hear you. But we don’t have much time, so I’m gonna keep this short…

     

    I’ve had clients apply the DCA framework who had small lists, who weren’t sure if this investment would pay off when their audience was so teeny. With the help of DCA, they went on to fill their programs. 

     

    I’ve welcomed in students whose Instagram posts were a ghost town, and whose DMs were drier than the Sahara. They implemented just the bonuses, and started trending on the Gram almost immediately. (Heck, one of my own posts is still trending nearly 4 months later!) 

     

    I’ve had students with really strange niches, who went on to pack their offer before their cart even officially opened. 

     

    I’ve taught coaches, done-for-you service providers, creatives, consultants, eCommerce bosses, and 9-5ers who only hoped to start a business. And with the help of the strategies and steps inside Dream Client Accelerator, I’ve watched them flourish. 

     

    These women got these results by following the system:

    ✊ They built rock-solid reputations made the clients chase THEM down (instead of the other way around)

     

    ✊They created authentic content that grew their brand like wildfire and directly converted into sales

     

    ✊ They discovered how to sell in a way that actually feels good and is aligned with who they are at their core (Because clients can sense when you’re not being yourself!!) 

     

    ✊ And they attracted MORE clients with LESS effort

    Day 2 is all about how to connect with your audience and build better, more meaningful relationships that lead to a conversion.

    • The “swipe up” feature on Instagram is convenient, but really not necessary.

  • Setting Goals and Intentions for 2020 (& How to Stick to Them!)

    In this week's episode of Aligned & Ambitious Radio, we are going to do an impromptu training and talk about our 2020 goals and intentions because we are already into the New Year. 

     

    “It's easy to feel that motivated with fresh energy for the first couple of weeks in the new year, but that dwindles away for ninety-eight percent of the country. I want to talk to you today, and I'm gonna talk to you about this throughout the entire year, to make sure that you're accountable, because it's so easy to set goals and then not see them come to pass." 

     

    I love goal setting, and I’m never going to tell you not to do it. All throughout this episode, I am going to show you some effective ways on how to set your goals. Setting goals is the fun and easy part. When you set your goals, you also decide what you want, what your life looks like, and how much money you want to make. The less easy part is filling in the steps to get to where you realize those goals that you set.

    Truthfully, the reason why people fall off the wagon is that they set this goal and get super excited about it but, they don’t actually know how to achieve it, and it just feels so far out of reach. Setting business aside for a minute, you will do well with a little life audit every once in a while. This is where you reflect on what really worked for you in the past, figure out what the wins were, and what areas you need to improve on so you know what are the things that you want to do differently today and in the future. 

     

    Since we’re on the topic of reflection and looking back into the past to figure what we need to keep doing and what to release from our schedule and life, I want to emphasize the power that lies in journaling or as others would say, putting pen to paper. Once you do this, things begin to flow more than you would actually believe.  It allows you to start to see your mind more clearly as opposed to just typing things up.

     

    Stay tuned until the end of the episode to learn why journaling is so important, as well as the things that you will be doing this year on your way to fulfilling your dreams such as making decisions, living in your own terms, and following your own rules. 

     

    We have so much power and control over how we experience our life than we give ourselves credit for.

  • 2019: An Open and Honest Business Review

    In this week's episode of Aligned & Ambitious Radio, I am going to talk with you guys about what the last 12 months in my business have looked like, and explain the progressive levels of growth that it has undergone.

     

    “(At) the beginning of the year, it seemed that this moment right now was super, super far away. I wanted to really just give you like a month by month, play by play on what happened, how I got here, how everything kind of fell together.”

     

    Throughout the episode, I will talk about my entire journey and detail the things that transpired from when I first started in August 2018 up until recently, in 2019 which is my first full year in my business. To say that it was a good year would be an understatement, as it was more than that on many levels.

    Episode #24: Breaking 100K in Year One of Your Business

     

    It was in 2019 that my brand did over one hundred thousand dollars in sales, finally surpassed the six-figure mark, and my company officially became an LLC, which is really exciting. 

    However, I will be the first to say that entrepreneurship is not a linear journey by any means. Often, we think that it is only a series of steps that subsequently elevate and stack on top of each other. When in reality, the road ahead is filled with these jagged lines all throughout, without a fast track lane going to the top.

     

    What you can do is have a firm mindset to keep taking the next step forward. You will reach Point B from Point A eventually, all you need to know is the next step, and then figure out the next one from there. You don’t even need to know what is going to happen 6 months from now, you just need to be present in the current season and moment of your life.

  • A Behind the Scenes Look at My First 18k Month

    In this week's episode of Aligned & Ambitious Radio, let me take you along with me as we look back at a career milestone I just achieved recently -- my first 18k month. 

     

    “I really didn't put much of anything in December and I kept telling myself, I'm pretty much just going to take the month of December off. Obviously, aside from the clients I have and showing up for you guys and posting on social media, I’m not going to launch anything, I'm not going to get into any projects and not going to do a lot of collaborations or anything like that. I just really want December to be a quiet month.”

     

    Obviously, I’ve been super excited as this is something I did not expect owing to the fact that I have been really detached from pretty much everything in my business in December. As far as my mindset goes, I really expected it to be a slow, quiet month. The opposite of that is what happened, and to me, it is a full-blown date with destiny.

    The inspiration for this episode actually came from you guys. Since I've gotten a lot of feedback saying that you love it when I share the numbers, so I am now strongly considering to do a sort of financial review on a quarterly basis. Together, we will look into what my expenses were, what my profit was, and talk about how you deal with those things as you grow into your business. 

     

    Actually, I haven’t been one to talk about numbers. Especially when I was just starting, it seriously intimidated me because then, it was something that I did not totally understand. Now, I am excited to talk about it with you and let you in on all of the things because I think it really makes a difference as it is a very important conversation to have. 

     

    So, stay tuned until the end of the episode as I take you on a journey in revisiting one of the biggest surprises I have received in the past year.
