In this episode of the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm answering one of the biggest questions my clients ask me: "How do I share my personality online while still establishing myself as an authority?" The good news is that you DON'T have to hide any part of yourself for your business to succeed! In this episode, I'm giving you practical steps you can use to strategically (not randomly!) insert your personality into your brand and business in a way that attracts high-paying dream clients. All while still establishing your authority!

Points we'll discuss include:

• What "professional" really means
• Examples of personality-driven and authority-establishing content
• How to create, not duplicate

Remember that you are a PERSONAL brand. People want to buy from people, not robots! So don't be afraid to show your personality online. It doesn't hurt your authority or make you less professional. I promise that people will want to invest in the REAL you!

Be sure to listen to episode 100 for all the details!

Finally, as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!

This episode of The #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast is a bit different. My husband, Mike Bayen, is joining me to talk about why we chose to separate and how that transformed our marriage. Separating was one of the scariest and hardest things I've ever done, but we can both say that we're so thankful we did it.

Join the Get More Clients Free Challenge starting on 4/26: https://meganyelaney.com/challenge/

In the episode, we talk about:

• The background of our relationship
• Why we decided to separate
• How we came back together and what life is like now

It feels kind of vulnerable to share this, but I know that so many people are going through the same thing. We want people to know that separation does NOT have to mean the end of your relationship. We separated because we wanted to grow and heal separately, and that's exactly what we did. Sometimes it's the healthiest thing you can do for your relationship. If you're going through something similar now, we encourage you to seek out whatever path is healthiest for you.

Be sure to listen to episode 99 for all the details!

Unique Coach Approach Quiz

In this episode 98 of The #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm giving you a thorough look at the spiritual approach to coaching! This style is all about helping clients solve problems through a spiritual lens. These coaches are amazing at helping people follow their own inner wisdom. No matter what coaching method you take, I think you'll get a lot out of this episode. (Just a heads up-- I've been covering the unique coaching methods in the past several episodes. I'd highly recommend listening to the past few episodes before you check out this one).

Some points we'll go over include:

• Characteristics of the spiritual coaching method
• Important distinctions of this approach
• Marketing yourself as a spiritual coach

Whatever coaching method you use, remember that YOU are in control of your business. You have complete freedom to integrate whatever is valuable to you. If spirituality is vitally important to you and you want to use it in your business, DO IT! When you are fully aligned with your values and make them an essential part of your business, THAT'S when you attract the right clients to you.

Be sure to listen to episode 98 for all the details!

In this episode 97 of The #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm giving you a thorough look at the aspirational approach to coaching! This approach is all about practicing what you preach. Aspirational coaches help their clients live out and embody their beliefs, goals, and dreams. No matter what your unique coaching method is, I think you'll get a lot out of this episode. (Just a heads up-- I've been covering the unique coaching methods in the past several episodes. I'd highly recommend listening to the past few episodes before you check out this one).

Some points we'll go over include:

People are getting bored with the same messages online. That's why it's so important to define and embody your unique method. Whatever coaching approach you take, when you are super clear about it and speak from the heart about why you're passionate about what you do, your sales will take off!

In this episode of The #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm getting vulnerable. I am sharing all about my experience with network marketing. Before I started my own brand, I was a Beachbody coach. I want to share what I learned from that experience and why I left. I am NOT here to rip it to shreds or to bash network marketing in general. I just want to share the truth of my experience. I know that everyone's experience with network marketing is different, and probably a lot of people will disagree with this. But I hope that hearing my experience with it will help someone considering network marketing or in network marketing now.

Some points I'll cover include:

• The pros and cons of Beachbody products
• The pros and cons of the network marketing business model
• What I learned from my experience

Again, I'm not here to bash network marketing. I'm just here to share my experience. I personally learned a lot from it, and I think you can see real success with it if you go about it in the right way. But I also want to encourage you that if you are in network marketing and you feel exhausted by it, there are more options for you. I encourage you to educate yourself and learn more about client attraction. I was afraid to leave, but when I did, I realized there was a whole other world waiting for me. There is for you too!

Be sure to listen to episode 95 to hear my whole story.

And as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!
