Tune in for a mix of digital marketing tips and the behind-the-scenes look at how I've been navigating this new chapter of entrepreneurship.

Key Takeaways:

• The transformative power of decluttering your client roster and focusing on what lights you up.
• How focusing on a personal brand can be a game-changer for digital entrepreneurs.
• Tips for decalcifying your pineal gland for better mental clarity (and why this matters for your business).

 Digital Wealth Academy - 

—a fully built, step-by-step course designed to teach you how to create, market, and sell digital products on social media.

I went through the course myself, following each step carefully, and I was blown away by the value. It covers everything: from creating your first digital product to setting up a seamless sales funnel with automations using ManyChat and email marketing. Plus, the creator constantly updates the course to keep it fresh and relevant. Anyone who purchases the course will be able to take advantage of these updates without paying for the course again.Once you’re in, you're in - and the community is great!

After experiencing it, I knew this was the exact resource I had been looking for and the one I wanted to recommend to anyone asking me for advice. Now, instead of creating my own course, I proudly stand behind Digital Wealth Academy and believe in it enough to recommend it to you.

Deeper dive into this episode

• Simplicity Sells: Many people feel the need to solve every problem for their audience, but this can overwhelm potential buyers. If an offer isn’t converting, re-evaluate it to ensure it's not too complex or intimidating for your audience.
• Focus on a Single Solution: Offering a specific, clear solution—like improving one social media platform instead of managing all—yields better results and is easier for the client to understand and track progress.
• Start Small with Courses: If you're creating a course, focus on helping people take just one step forward rather than trying to solve everything in one go. This simplifies both your sales process and the client’s transformation.
• Clear Strategy for Testimonials: When you deliver a focused solution, it’s easier for your clients to articulate what you’ve done for them, leading to more glowing reviews. Use those testimonials to drive more sales.
• Clarity in Marketing: Simplifying your messaging helps you become more memorable and makes it easier for potential customers to grasp what you do, which leads to increased sales.
• Leverage Other People’s Courses: If creating your own digital product feels overwhelming, you can offer and sell someone else’s course if you trust its quality.
• Outsource Execution: If you’re struggling with creating digital products, outsourcing tasks to an assistant, especially for execution, can free up your time to focus on your strengths as a visionary.

Welcome in! In this episode I'm bringing you view of your potential and it should feel like relief!

I talk:

1. No More Hustling for Clients: Time for Digital Freedom

In this episode, I'm breaking down my big move—from client work to building a digital product empire. After years in the game, I’m here to save you time, money, and headaches by sharing everything I’ve learned.

2. Digital Products Are the Future

Goodbye, client overload. I’m focusing on digital products that give me freedom and flexibility. If you’re sick of feeling tied down to one-on-one work, it’s time to start translating your expertise into online courses, ebooks, and workshops that people can buy anytime, anywhere. It’s all about creating scalable income that works while you sleep.

3. The Reality of Client Work

Let’s be real. Client work can be draining—more than just face-to-face time, it eats up your energy in ways you don’t expect. If you’re thinking about ditching your 9-to-5 for client work, heads up: it’s not the freedom you think it is.

4. Lead Magnets: Your Secret Weapon

If you're not using lead magnets, you're leaving money on the table. These aren't just freebies—they’re your ticket to bringing in ready-to-buy customers. But here’s the trick: they need to solve a real problem and offer some serious value.

5. Meet Your Soulmate Assistant

Outsourcing is a game changer, but finding your "soulmate assistant" is next level. I’m sharing how I’ve found amazing VAs from the Philippines who handle all the stuff I don’t want to do. The goal is to find someone who gets you, anticipates your needs, and takes tasks off your plate before you even ask.

6. Want the Blueprint? Join My Masterclass

I’m holding a masterclass that’s all about finding that dream assistant—someone who frees you up to focus on what you love and crushes the rest. Outsourcing isn’t just smart, it’s necessary for scaling.

7. Stop Doing It All Yourself

Listen, you don’t have to be the hero of every task in your business. Get help! Surround yourself with experts so you can spend your time doing what you love—and skip the burnout.

8. Let’s Keep the Conversation Going

Got questions? Hit me up on social! Let’s chat about how you can implement the "who, not how" strategy—because trust me, someone else already has the answer you’re looking for.

3 Old school marketing methods that still reign supreme// Don't sleep on these. 

They are free and they work √√√ all day every day.

1. Face to face interactions blow emails, texts and DMs out of the water any day of the week if you want to close deals. 

Takeaway - Take someone to lunch for the love of God. 

2. Big Magazine Publicity is the still biggest flex if you need to get an in somewhere. If it’s between you that has “Featured in Forbes” in your bio and another guy without it, you have more horsepower.

Takeaway - Prioritize winning some features so you shorten the line.

3. Networking is the fastest way to get yourself well resourced and close the gap between you and your next client. Would you rather be referred or go in cold? 

Takeaway - It actually is all about who you know.

What else should we add to this?

Welcome back! It's been a hot minute since I dropped an episode so I have a major treat for you to say "thanks for coming to the party!" 

For the first time ever...

I'm bringing on a guest. And not just any guest. A woman who has been studying Human Design since as long ago as I met her (2016).

Alexa Lessa of @chaosgirlclub <--You must see her Instagram. 

We talk:

Human Design in Personal Branding.

With a personal brand strategy you can:

√ Attract more of the right clients who fit your vibe

√ Be memorable and stand out from the crowd

√ Charge premium prices

Three things I love:)

Helpful tips to turn this episode into a workshop:

Before pressing play:

1. Download your Human Design chart for free at MyBodyGraph.com
2. Listen to what to look for in your chart to find out if you are Front Facing or Content Facing when it comes to being on social media. 
3. If you have any questions about your Human Design, DM Alexa on her IG account @chaosgirlclub

From this moment forward you will purposely design your life, you will command your thoughts and your body, and you will run in the direction of what you want because it is fun and because you’ve never had such conviction that you will have everything you’ve ever imagined

Today you will be more awake than you ever have been

You will take yourself somewhere away from the noise and the daily patterns and thoughts you’ve been playing out

And you will remember who the fuck you are

A free-willed, sovereign being that has the energy that creates worlds dancing inside you

You will breathe in your power

You will feel your power in and around you

Your confidence will increase

Your clarity will increase

You will know your next steps

And you will relish in the receiving and the designing

Your vision for your future is so beautiful.

And you are so deserving.
