Have you ever considered joining a mastermind or higher-level coaching program, but you’re not sure how to decide if it’s for you? These are usually a bigger investment than a course or membership, so it’s vital that you understand what to look for and how to decide if it’s right for you.

Over the past several years, I’ve participated in 4 different mastermind programs. I’ve also invested in other coaching programs as well. So I want to share with you some of the lessons I’ve learned from my own experience of participating in, as well as running, a mastermind or higher-level coaching program.

There are many other types of programs besides masterminds that can help you grow your business. such as courses, group coaching, memberships. In episode 28, I dove into determining which type of investment is right for you, so be sure to check that one out if you want a broader look at the options available to you.

But today, I want to specifically look at deciding whether you should join a mastermind or not. I’ll share what a mastermind is, what to look for, as well as some steps to determining if a program is right for you.

What do you do when you experience failure in your business? How can you handle it when things do not go as planned without throwing in the towel on your entire business?

We all have those times when we are feeling discouraged in our business. I shared some tips on how to deal with discouragement way back in episode 16, so take a listen to that if you need. 

But there are times when we are actually experiencing some kind of failure.

There’s one thing that is really key to remember when this happens: You are not a failure. Your idea or your project might have “failed” but that does not mean you are a failure.

So what do you do when you experience failure? I’m sharing with you some tips based on how I try to deal with failure when it happens in my business.

What is the key to getting a consistent stream of referrals in your business? And what does it look like to follow God’s leading in your business (instead of the guru’s advice)?

She also shares how her business journey has shifted in recent years, and how she continues to follow God’s leading instead of feeling pressured to do what the experts say. Holly also shares her method for writing compelling emails that people love to read.

 

In our conversation, Holly also shares about her experience inside of my upLIFT Mentormind. She explains why she joined and where she was stuck, as well as some of the wins she has experienced throughout the past few months.

Have you ever seen opportunities online for podcast guesting, summits, or other visibility but not been sure whether you should jump on them or not? And how can you make the most of the opportunities that you do decide to pursue?

 

Inside of my Facebook group, I often see people posting opportunities for others to consider. It might be that they are offering an opportunity to be a guest on a podcast or to participate in a summit. It could be a speaking opportunity or maybe a chance to join a group networking call. I also receive emails at times with opportunities like this, or I see them in other groups. 

 

It might be tempting, especially in the beginning of your business, to jump on every single opportunity that comes your way. You figure: why not? The more visibility the better, right?

 

Well, not necessarily. Of course, I am always a fan of taking action and putting yourself out there. Making connections and jumping into opportunities has been one of the biggest ways I’ve grown my biz.

 

In this episode, I'm sharing 6 tips for evaluating opportunties and making the most of them.
