Business Your Way

Here’s how the series works:

Then, next week, on May 28:  

Episode 3 goes live on 6-Figure Secrets  

Episode 4 wraps it up, right here, on Coach Business

---

Sell Like A Human Sessions is a 4-episode series airing on the 6-Figure Secrets Podcast and the Coach Business Podcast for entrepreneurs who are done with sales that feel awkward or slimy. 

Join me, Caryn Gillen, along with Allison Hardy, Marisa Corcoran, and Lauren Litt as we spill the tea on what it really takes to build the know, like, and trust factor through email, copy, social media, and sales. 

Because here’s the truth: people don’t buy because you’re the loudest in the room—they buy because they actually trust you.

---

"We have to remember to add that extra relational layer in there..."

In this second episode of the Sell Like A Human Sessions, we’re talking about adding personality and vibe to our copy so people can really get a sense of us.

Copy mentor Marisa Corcoran leads the conversation, along with Allison Hardy, Caryn Gillen, and Lauren Litt.

Discover: 

• the two things that control people's purchasing decisions
• why you should approach your copy as you do getting dressed
• how letting yourself be boring and messy can help you connect

TAKEAWAYS:

- The two things that control people's purchasing decisions and why they should always be at the forefront of what you create.

- The 3 R's that you want to achieve with your copy and services.

- How being boring and sharing the little things can really help you connect with your audience (e.g., are you a coffee or a tea drinker?).

- Getting to know your word and accessories closets.

- Letting people get a sense of you and why, in order to compel, you've got to repel.

- Biggest piece of advice: Give yourself a chance to be in the sandbox and let it be messy.

This is a special Mother's Day episode for all the moms out there.

The biggest challenge of being a mom and a business owner is the time and energy involved in each.

They both require a high level of care and, ironically, both suffer if/when we don't also care for ourselves.

Listen in on how I do both, one thing I do that really helps, and my best tip if you're just getting started.

If you're a mom, I see you there. Happy Mother's Day!

"The problem isn't belonging too much, it's that we don't belong enough to ourselves. We need equity in relationships. Sometimes I choose you, and sometimes I choose me. It's not either/or, we need both."

In today's episode, ex-good girl and Stop People-Pleasing Coach, Sara Bybee Fisk, shares her passion for people (especially women) to live whatever kind of life they truly want for reasons they know, understand, and consciously choose.

This episode is for you if:

- You know you're a people pleaser and want to choose yourself more often

- You aren't sure whether you're a pleaser or not, and want to learn more about what it looks like and how it shows up

- You want to develop the skill of having the hard conversation, being able to disappoint people, and make sure you're running your business for yourself, etc.

There are so many beautiful nuggets in this conversation. Everyone will walk away with something!

To get in on that skill-building of how to disappoint people, join us in Comfortable In Business (caryngillen.com/comfortable-in-business) before Sara teaches on May 6th.

(Note: If you join after that date, you'll get access to the replay.)

"Coaching can take so many forms, and nobody gets an A if you don't do it YOUR way."

"Great things happen when you put pen to paper."

Today's conversation with Jennifer Faherty, founder of Psych Paper, is a great example of how to make your coaching business work FOR YOU!

Coaching is a skill set we can bring into anything and everything (even a positive psychology paper products brand!).

There is no one-size-fits-all template. The way that you coach best may not even be invented yet! Think about that...

Wherever you build your business, make sure it's somewhere (and with someone) you can PLAY and be well-supported in doing it your way.

If you use someone else's cookie cutter or become successful in someone else's way, you'll essentially become good at being someone else, and will likely have to stop and recover at some point to find YOUR WAY.

Why not just start there?

Jennifer's story is a great example of what's possible. The sky's the limit!

In today's episode of Coach Business, I share an experience I had recently where I saw a post that caused me to shame spiral a bit (not for long, but enough that I wanted to talk to you about it).

So often, people share things online without sharing the full story - this was one of those instances - but it led to me having some feelings, regardless.

I'm betting you can relate. Listen in, and let me know!

Also, remember, success isn't always easy, but we get to keep going, and we're in it together!
