Coffee with Cori

So I found a journal from 2017 last weekend and reading it had such a profound effect on me that I just had to share it with you.  I feel like my life has done a quantum leap in those short 18 months. My whole reality has shifted.

Reading that journal entry, having that realisation was one of those true “whoa” moments in life.

What struck me most was that I could pinpoint one thing that changed everything for me.  One thing. On today’s show I’m going to share with you, what that one thing was plus give you a sneak peek into my journal from 2017.  Because I want YOU to experience your own “whoa” moments, I want you to have those quantum leaps too.

This episode’s going to be a little different.  Are you ready?

IN THIS EPISODE:

• - Cori explains how by clearing out her bookcase she discovered just how far she has come in just 18 months
• - She shares actual extracts from her 2017 journal at the time between leaving the corporate world and the beginnings of her online business
• - Cori provides some commentary on her feelings at that time…of powerlessness in a corporate role to NOW feeling so incredible, she could pinch herself!
• - She reveals the ONE thing that caused this massive change and how YOU can too
• - Cori talks about what a Dash of Woo means to her and offers this weeks manifestation tip

Hey loves!  I’m excited to bring you today’s show as I’m talking to Anya Hayes who is, amongst other things, author of the fantastic book The SuperMum Myth.  Anya and I dig into so many great topics, such as Mum Guilt, Perfectionism, Self Doubt, Imposter Syndrome, the list goes on.

But here’s what’s interesting: Anya helps women with postnatal health and wellbeing and I help women to create success on their terms.  On the surface, our work might not sound like it has a ton in common. But what struck me most from our conversation was just how pervasive these themes are for us as mothers AND business owners and I was reminded once again of how important it is for us to take a holistic view of our lives and businesses because they DO all blend together.  And when we commit to taking care of our health and wellbeing, whether mentally, physically or both, that can have a beautiful impact across our lives, not just in the one area we might have intended. So, let’s do it, let’s dig into Mum Guilt, Perfectionism, Imposter Syndrome and more! Let’s let go of those things that aren’t serving us and choose a new, more supportive narrative.

IN THIS EPISODE

• Anya talks about her multi-hyphen career and how tragedy and redundancy contributed to her taking leaps into working doing the things that make her feel most alive
• Cori and Anya discuss imposter syndrome and how it can sometimes be hard for us to own our achievements
• Anya digs into the topic of striving to be “Perfect Mum”; where the pressure comes from and how to embrace imperfection instead
• Cori and Anya talk about the importance of providing mothers with tools and strategies that support their mindset and wellbeing which can actually be used realistically within that busy Mum life
• Anya shares her tips for deciphering true guilt from Mum Guilt and her methods for tackling guilt in a practical way.

SHOW NOTES:

Anya is a Pilates instructor, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) teacher and author specialising in pre and postnatal health and wellness. Anya is on a mission to empower women with the tools to navigate through the motherhood labyrinth with pelvic floor and sanity intact. She’s the co-author of The Supermum Myth: Overcome anxiety, ditch guilt and embrace imperfection. Her new book, Pilates for Pregnancy, is out now. Postnatal Pilates publishes with Bloomsbury next year.

Sales and selling.  Whew! Just those words can strike up such feelings of dread.  The very idea of selling can make you feel all kinds of awkward.

But here’s the thing, selling is SUCH a crucial skill.  Without being able to sell in a way that feels good to you and to the other person… your business is dying a slow death.  Maybe not even slow. Just sayin’.

One of my newer clients signed her very first client yesterday.  And the absolute BEST part? She told me it felt easy. How good is that?

I want that for you too.  I want you to feel good about selling.

It’s totally possible and I’m bringing you my 5 best tips to sell without feeling salesy today.

6 Figure Launches!  7 Figure Launches! Spend any time in the online realm of internet marketing and you’ll start to believe the hype.  You might start to believe that launching a course is the silver bullet; your ticket to Money Town.

But what happens when you do launch something and it doesn’t quite go to plan?  Maybe your sales figures are disappointing? Maybe your sales figures are non existent.  It’s easy to feel like a failure, or like success isn’t possible for you in those moments.  

But here’s the thing: those 6 and 7 figure launches you keep hearing about?  They aren’t the norm. More than that, they don’t happen overnight. I think it’s time to get REAL about what it takes to sell online courses, masterclasses and group programs.  Today I’m going to pull back the curtain on my own business and share with you what really happened when I sold the Your Biggest Year Yet Masterclass, warts and all.

This is going to be a good one!  

Let’s go to the show…

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Cori shares her experience of launching her most recent Masterclass and the process she followed
• She explained how important it is not to take it personally when you don’t sell out your Masterclass or online course. Instead use this as feedback and an opportunity to learn for next time!
• Cori talks about connecting with your audience…are you offering what your ideal clients REALLY want or need?
• She rounds up her experience into three key takeaway points for you to use when thinking about launching your next Masterclass.
• Cori provides this weeks Dash of Woo… a full body energy shift!

Let me ask you something: if I told you I am living my dream life… how does that make you feel?  If I tell you how much I made this month… would it make you uncomfortable? You might have noticed that I talk about my results - money, yes but results like time freedom and fulfilment too - like almost all the time.  I had to get over myself to do that, but I feel like it is necessary. So I’m not going to stop sharing my successes, even if it makes people uncomfortable. Today I’m going to unapologetically hop onto my soapbox and share with you WHY.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Cori dives in this week with the sometimes uncomfortable topic of celebrating your own successes and how this can make you and other people feel
• She explains how she had to get over herself in this situation because it isn’t about her…this is about you!
• Cori talks about offering a different viewpoint on the mother/business owner juggle. YES it is hard work but you don’t have to struggle.
• She tells listeners why she refuses to stop sharing her successes…she is not letting you off the hook that easily! She refuses to give you permission to accept the status quo.
• Cori then hands over to YOU. It is time to start celebrating and SHARING your success.

Money, time and fulfilment… the three corners of the triangle of joy in my opinion.  BUT we’ve been fed a lie. We’ve been told we can’t have all three.

We can’t have the time freedom to show up as the kind of mothers we want to be AND do work that lights us up AND make amazing money from it.  We’ve been lead to believe we have to compromise.

Well I’m calling bullsh*t on this one today!  I’m going to bust this myth wide open and tell you how you can get what you want.  No compromise required.

Who’s with me?

IN THIS EPISODE:

• She  breaks down the two things you need in place to achieve that money, time and fulfilment at a high level

• In this week’s Dash of Woo Cori offers a manifestation tip designed to help you take what you learned today and give it some extra oomph
