  • #31: 7 New Year 2023 Things

    Happy New Year my beautiful friends! Thank you for being here. Here are the 7 New Year 2023 things I want to share with you.


    They are lessons, things I've experimented with, my stories - which I believe will serve you in 2023.

    1. Start the thing
    2. Overplanning is paralyzing and doing it perfectly and doing it all it's probably going to overwhelm your ideal client/customer - instead do the thing that would help them and the thing that you can take action on and help them sooner with
    3. Start small - hope you enjoying my training and doors example x
    4. Intuitive action - how I finally made sense of this and it made all the difference
    5. Testing attitude
    6. Forgive yourself quickly
    7. Grow your email list (in the capacity that makes sense for your business - but grow it, it will do all the things I talk about on this point x)
    8. If this served you let me know. Hit reply, leave a comment/review, and share it with someone who would benefit, it will make my day and I will do a happy dance and send you virtual hugs xx

      Thank you for being here, I appreciate you being here and it's an honour to get to help you grow your online business x


      PS: I took intuitive action and recorded this episode live on Instagram too - you catch watch it here (including the part halfway that's not included here because the recording stopped). This is for you if you prefer video and to feel like we are chatting face-to-face. And of course, there is coffee involved 

      Watch Instagram live here.

    10. #29: Million Dollar Lesson: I'm Going To Trust Myself on This

      The lesson I share with you in this podcast has been such a powerful tool for me to trust myself to take action in my business and realise that:

      • It's either working or teaching me something important that I need for my next step
      • The only way to get where I want to  is to try and test things I feel called for
      • I don't have anything to prove to anyone on how fast it will work, but I owe myself not to ever give up on my dreams
      • It didn't only help me make so much money and progress in my business, but also it gave me a self-help tool to stop overanalyzing and wavering. Instead I allow myself to try things and see where they go. 


        Thank you for listening.

        See you on the next episode x

      • #28: How I'm Selling This Black Friday + Resources For Your Offers

        Let's talk about Black Friday sales.


        In this episode, I talk you through what I'm going to sell this Black Friday promotion, including my exact tech set up and strategy behind it.

        I also give you ideas of how to structure your black Friday offers if you are a service provider (i.e photographer, copywriter, social media manager), coach, product seller (candles, planners etc) or a course creator and digital product business.

        Snippets of topics in this episode:

        • Why participate in Black Friday/Cyber Monday and how to do it to serve and not annoy your audience
        • How I did it last year super last minute (after it happened) and made sales
        • How I'm doing a brand new live training program, putting relevant current courses on offer and affiliate promotions this year, why, and how I'm doing it so it serves my audience and my business strategy
        • the exact software and manner in which I'm doing my paid live training
        • the black Friday course I took before I made my first black Friday offer last year and sold straight away (that costs $9, linked below)
        • a course you could use from one of my favourite business strategists that will help you do your own paid live training
        • snippets of exactly what I'm offering this year and why
        • I imagine this episode like a coffee chat between biz besties, chatting through all the things we are doing this black Friday and why, and coming up with things that would work for us individually.

          These are the 2 programs from one of my fav biz strategists, Elizabeth Goddard, known as Lizzy, that I recommend in this podcast.

          Please note that these are affiliate links and if you purchase I get a small commission. I personally took the Black Friday course and it helped me create my offer last minute and made sales. It paid for itself many times over.

          In full transparency, I didn't take the Profitable Live Trainings course but have learnt about it in different capacities from Lizzy and other coaches, and knowing Lizzy's top-quality content I thoroughly recommend it if you need a step-by-step guide and strategy on how to create a paid live training (also known as a paid webinar, paid workshop, paid masterclass) for yourself. I literally can't think of a better resource than this course for anyone starting with paid live trainings.

          Affilinks:

          That (Black) Friday Feeling Course ($9) 

          Profitable Live Trainings (free training + link to $100 off the course price)


          If you are not on my email list and want to be the first to know when I release my secret Black Friday offer and all the other promotions, join me here by getting any of my free or paid offers: https://georgianadacosta.com/


          Thank you for listening. See you on the next episode x

        • #27: Stop Telling Moms It's Easy To Run a Biz & Work From Home With Kids with Jamie Gonsioroski
          A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Instagram and I came across a reel by Jamie Richelle Designs, who I didn't know at that point. The reel said: Unpopular Opinion, stop telling moms that it's easy to run a business and work from home with kids.
          I felt that message in my heart, for many reasons.
          1. I am a mom working from home with kids running my business and it's the best thing that ever happened to me....but it's far from easy. 
          2. I help moms start an online business so they can have more time with their kids (as opposed to a job)
          So I felt both connected emotionally to my circumstances and called out. I wondered whether I'm part of the problem. Whether I make it look easy when it's not.
          So I took 2 steps: 
          Step 1: I recorded episode #16 Practical Ways to Start an Online Business and Work from Home with Kids
          I shared my truth and tips I felt helped. Even a free resource guide you can grab in the show notes.
          I sent that to Jamie and I told her how much her message touched me. We had a conversation. 
          And it only made sense that we should more about it. So I did this:
          Step 2: I invited Jamie for an interview.
          And here we are in the show note of the most vulnerable discussions I've ever had with a stranger on the internet. But Jamie doesn't feel like a stranger anymore, because 2 mothers can connect deeply even across the oceans when they talk all things motherhood, womanhood and businesshood :)
          Jamie Gonsioroski is the owner of Jamie Richelle Designs. 
          She is a brand + website designer for businesses who better birth & parenting experiences.
          You can connect with Jamie here:
          Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamierichelledesigns
          Website: https://www.jamierichelle.com
          Check out Jamie's freebies: https://www.jamierichelle.com/free-goods
          Look out for the new course Jamie is launching in 2023, teaching business owners how to create (or enhance) branding on their own.
          Our chat: Stop telling moms that it's easy to run a business and work from home with kids - because it's worth it but certainly not easy
          I am so grateful for how open and honest Jamie has been about her journey starting a business whilst working a 5+ hours job in a metro hospital during the pandemic. How she navigated it all around being pregnant and raising little babies, managing it with her husband and also working on prioritising herself.
          In the conversation, I share my story too, things I never felt I could say out loud on the internet about what it really takes to make this work with little children.
          The goal of this episode is for you, the mama out there, struggling or working through this, to know that you are not alone and you are not doing it wrong. That Jamie and I, and millions upon millions of other moms around the world are going through the same. Keep going, find your flow. It's not easy, so if it doesn't feel easy, you're truly not doing it wrong.
          I hope you enjoy the conversation and that it serves you.
          If you resonated and want to add to the conversation hit reply on the email where you got this episode, or DM me on Instagram at @thegeorgianadacosta or Jamie at @jamierichelledesigns
          Speak to you on the next episode x

        • #22: Fix Your Online Business Problems With This Perfect Strategy

          Have you ever looked for the secret sauce, the one strategy everyone is succeeding with but no one is sharing? Me too, truthfully!

          In fact, day in and day out I have to make a conscious decision to reframe this, and actually focus on the one strategy that does work, it is entirely in my power, makes sense and it's visible, now that I know it, in everyone's actions that I admire in the business world.

          I'm so excited for you to hear this episode. I start with an honest confession and share with you a concept that it took 8+ years for me to figure out in the online business world, but now that I know, you bet I'm never going back to worrying and searching!
