Business Your Way

This is a topic I've been coaching a lot on recently so I also wanted to share it with you here.

We are always in the business of getting our next client. No business can do things in a way that gets them off the hook for marketing. But you can do it by engaging with what you already love, noticing where you lean in, and making a relational connection.

Be "all in" for the stuff you're "all in" on and do business your way.

In this episode, we're talking to professional organizer and certified life coach, Tracy Hoth about organization - specifically, how to organize your files and links. (I don't know a single business owner who doesn't need that, especially if you've been at this for a while!)

We also discuss decision fatigue and making sure you have a process for paying yourself.

This is a solid episode for everyone, across the board, and it's a great time to get some skill-building around this topic (as we head into the end of the year and tax time).

Enjoy! And make sure to grab Tracy's entire training on this (free for our listeners) HERE.

Today, we have a podcast first... Brand Message & Content Strategist, Jen Liddy is joining us for the 3rd time on Coach Business!

We always have a great conversation but today we're talking specifically about marketing, messaging, and what we're not putting up with anymore... I think many of you will be able to relate.

Join us as we discuss:

- The foundational work of talking about your stuff so your audience gets it

- Being stuck in marketing hell

- What we're not putting up with anymore (in life and business!)

- Getting clarity and knowing your values/what you want

"I'm fatigued by large group programs and unused courses... At this point in my business, I want somebody's eyes on my stuff."

Listen in and consider where you are just getting by, making do, adhering to someone else's expectations, or repeating an unhelpful pattern.

Added bonus: uplevel your mindset and your messaging while you're at it!

Visit Jen's website HERE.

To learn more about me, Caryn Gillen, and the work that I do with high-integrity coaches and remarkable humans…

In this week's episode, I share my thoughts on why and how change is good - particularly related to the coaching industry.

Things are different. The market has changed. People aren't buying as they used to anymore. And I think that's great!

We've had to grow ourselves up and allow people to truly decide what's best for them now, instead of using scammy bro marketing tactics that hijack nervous systems and make people buy things outside their intuition and financial capacity. (Hallelujah!)

You all know I'm here to sell like a human... I want people to buy and grow their businesses that way too.

Change is good and we can handle it - because you are inevitable. Who you're here to be is who you're here to be, regardless of how things shift and change.

Let's talk about business quarters, particularly Quarter 4. This is a time when a lot of business owners celebrate or beat themselves up - I'd encourage you to do the former.

The end of a quarter is a great time to check in and ask yourself 3 powerful questions about how you want to show up for yourself (no matter what's true).

Every company does development - you should too. How can you make this the best place to work for you? And what will be true at the end of this next quarter? The groundwork starts here.

There's more awareness and discussion, now, around our mental load, particularly as women (or primary caregivers).

In today's conversation, we're talking to Time Management and Planning Expert, Megan Sumrell about:

Megan's very existence and how she talks about things will change your mind about what's possible.

This conversation was a little bit of a poke and a calling-forth, which I always really appreciate! I hope you'll join us.

And, if you like what you hear, here's my affiliate link to join me at Plan-a-Palooza!

I know these live coaching episodes are your favorite and today's is a real treat.

I'm talking to ADHD and Leadership Coach, Kristen Santos about:

- self-sabotaging behavior

- trusting yourself

- remembering your mission

- doing your business YOUR way

- living in alignment

"Let's normalize the fact that it's a very easy door for a saboteur to enter through when we're doing something new."

"It's my job to know myself and be myself because that's what the world needs from me."

"Even when we're in business, the heart of our mission prevails as the lighthouse of our work. Check back into why you got here in the first place. The reason you're here IS what we need from you."

If this conversation with Kristen resonated, I might be the coach for you. Message me to connect and we can figure out together where you fit. (I'm @caryngillen on all social platforms or [email protected])

Also, my small group coaching/mastermind program for coaches (who want to do business their way), The Advisors Circle, is now open for enrollment - we start October 1. You can learn more HERE.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my launch (How To Sell Like a Human, which leads to The Advisors Circle) so you can sell like a pro.

This whole thing has been about me bringing what's inside to the outside, front and center so you can see and experience it yourself.

I want people to know exactly what it's like to work with me - before they even sign up.

I teach you how to do this in my free resources:

5 Ways to Make Coaching Your Marketing

and

How to Sell Like a Human (happening now - FREE Voxer Coaching Day is TODAY!)

I also talk about it on social media (I’m @caryngillen, in all the places).

So, my question for you is: How can you do what I'm modeling here - and give people a sample of what it's like to be in YOUR space or program (to create trust so they very clearly know whether what you're offering is for them or not)?

How I sell IS how I serve. Want to get in on that?

The Advisors Circle has up to 10 spots available starting October 1st. Is one of them yours?

In this episode, I'm giving you the only sales script you'll ever need and walking you through the process of a consultation call so you can personalize it for you - and your people.
