  • #40: Your Mind Only Believes What You Say- Self-Love, Business & Mindset with Jane Kilian

    Episode #40: Your Mind Only Believes What You Say- Self-Love, Business & Mindset with Jane Kilian


    Whoop whoop this is episode 40! And I'm so excited for our guest today, and the raw, open and truly mindset-shifting conversation I've had with Jane Kilian, creator of the Self Love Club.


    Jane has been a personal trainer for 14 years and has heard every pain point of every woman she has ever trained. She realized they all had something in common, not loving themselves. So she realized she needed to create change from the INside out and not the other way around. Unselfishly Me, her self love brand, was born in 2018 and has been doing just that. Her signature 8 week e-course was where it all started and grew to self love retreats, podcast, workshops and The Self Love Club, a monthly self love content and community. Her new favourite focus is on teaching beginner yoga. In a world where yoga can seem intimidating going to a class, she breaks it down and teaches you from the mat up. Literally how to stand on your mat, to downward dog to flowing through a sun salutation. Her passion is helping you figure out your Aha moment and rewrite your story, for your happiest and most authentic YOU.


    I loved talking to Jane today about her business journey, how she had to tap into her own passions and realise she had something special to help women not only with weight loss but also their mindset and self-image. In this interview, I also share my raw story of my own weight gain and weight loss and weight gain and how today, although at my heaviest weight, I'm in the best mental space I've ever been with self-love and just breaking down any negative ideas set on me and how I'm navigating that.

     

    This is a different topic than we usually have on the podcast, and I couldn't love it more. I think you will find Jane's perspectives and teachings as empowering as I did.

    • #39: What I'd do if I had $0 marketing budget and needed to make sales

      This episode lays out exactly my bundle marketing strategy - what I'd do if I had $0 budget, but I still wanted to grow my email list and make sales. Here's a summary of what I share with you:

      Important: although I do have marketing budget, I already use this strategy regularly as part of all my marketing activity.


      • The first step I'd take to market my business for free if I have $0 budget or something happened and I need to reprioritise/scale down my finances
      • Exactly what software I'd use and their free plans (linked below)
      • How I'd set it all up so I can build my email list with my ideals clients + make sales
      • Where I'd find these bundles (and how to find them on my own social media if you are in my niche)
      • How I'd set up to make affiliate and upsells and sales after

      • This is me approaching the 16 mins in the interview as if it was a 1:1 session and I gave you a quick, simple and free-to-set-up mini funnel.

        Here are the software links mentioned that I use (please note some are affiliate or referral links)

        • Convertkit email marketing software - free plan (completely free, not a trial) here
        • Canva free plan (completely free, not a trial) here
        • Teachable - you can join here completely free (not a trial) and if you choose for any reason to go with one of their paid plans you'll get $25 credit towards your subscription by using my referral link
        • I hope this serves you and helps you to get this powerful mini funnel in place that will help you use collaborations to build your email list and make sales even if you don't have any marketing budget at the moment.


          • Want to learn more about my bundle process? It's all included in my signature email marketing course - Grow an Email List of Buyers

          • #38: How to Do What You Want & What's Good For Your Biz as an Introvert with Introvertpreneur Coach Tara Reid

            I'm so excited to have had the chance to sit down and record this interview for you with the amazing Tara Reid. I crossed paths with Tara about half a year ago when I participated in two of her live events and since then I've really loved what she does in the online space. To start with, Tara email marketing work is absolutely amazing and she is proof that you can build a strong presence and community off social media and build through connections as long as you lead all roads to your email list and nurture that.

            Tara Reid has been a multi-passionate online entrepreneur for almost 17 years now. She loves helping other multi-passionate and introverted entrepreneurs ways to build a more sustainable (and less energy draining) way of building their business. She’s also the host of the Introvertpreneur virtual summit and has been a guest speaker at over 20 virtual summits.


            Ways to connect with Tara:

            I hope you enjoy this episode and it empowers you to do business your way, whether you love the camera or would rather blog, there's someone out there making it work and you can too and Tara has so much evidence to show you it's possible!

          • #35: How To Rock Discovery Calls With Britteney The Coach
            Hello, my beautiful friends,
            In today's episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing the sales queen herself, Britteney the Coach. Britteney Ofodile (pronounced oh-fo-dee-lay) helps women level up their businesses, show up as their authentic selves and align it all to their driven purpose.
            In this interview, we dived deep into discovery calls, what they are, how to use them, how to navigate busy schedules as mums and the fear of selling.
            What I love about Britteney is the confidence she instils in you about being able to do sales without the icky stuff, by just being yourself. Her perspective is refreshing and empowering. I'm so excited for you to listen to this interview.
            Britteney the Coach
            You can connect and work with Britteney on her platforms at britteneythecoach.com and on IG at @britteney_coach

          • #34 Freebies or Free Content - What's More Important?

            In this episode we talk free content, sharing value on Instagram TikTok, Youtube, podcasts like these, blogs, collabs, paid ads AND/OR creating strategic freebies behind an opt-in which grows your email list.

            If you've been trying to split your time and figure out whether putting out more freebies, or no freebies, or putting out more content on socials is the right move, this episode is for you. Let's take the overwhelm out, look at it from the outside in and make some powerful decisions that work for each and one of our businesses.

            Truly, in a marketing funnel, both have a place. When you listen to this episode, I hope you can grab your fav drink and imagine we are having a biz besties chat. I'll share with you my thoughts and experiences on how both freebies and free content serve your business.

            And, as always, I assume you want the simpler way, the faster way, the less overwhelming way. That's why we'll chat about impact and how you can decide what's best for your business.

            If you want to see how I use freebies with mini-funnels to find my people, grow my email list and make more sales, check out my Free Guide. The Paid Ads Mini Funnel is a BTS look at one of my exact mini-funnels with a low-cost paid ad, strategic freebie, and a lot of intention to find my people.
