I asked a question to one of my private coaching clients the other day: "What is holding you back or slowing your progress?"

We went through a list of possible reasons - no knowledge of sales/marketing, time, competition, resources, your positioning in the marketplace, cash flow, confidence in self, or project.

What she finally told me made my heart sink...and it was sooooooooo honest.

"Doing the work but not making the money I need to, makes me feel like the work doesn't count and therefore I don't count".

I've felt this. We've all felt this. It's a terrible feeling but you're not alone.

"I'm working really hard but not getting the sales I need to support myself." I hear a version of this statement from entrepreneurs every week. You feel like you're doing ALL THE THINGS - posting to social media, sending emails, making videos, running ads... I know you're working hard and yet, it can often be work that's all over the place with different tactics. There's no actual plan or system for getting sales. It's just post and send -- and hopw they buy.

I want to help you create a simple sales system. It's easier than is sounds. It's basically you doing what you're already doing, but with a customer path in mind. And it starts with asling yourself 4 questions.

If you can answer these questions with specific things to do, everything will change.

If can't answer them and you're doing lots of random actions with your business hoping to get sales, you will suffer.

Listen now and remember that all the links and resources mentioned will be back on the blog in the Show Notes:

If you knew you could not fail, what would you do immediately?

What's YOUR answer to this?

I sent a simple email with this question to my entire list. I received so many honest answers. I read through them all and the responses were really fascinating. From hiring someone to take over the day-to-day operations to traveling to starting a millionaires girl's club retreat.

In this episode, you get a behind-the-scenes peek into what's really going on inside other entrepreneurs' brains.

I have a special guest today and she has solved the inventory problem. And before you say, oh she's probably selling POD (print on demand) T-shirts, that's not it. Jennyvi is a fashion designer who creates custom high end bridal dresses and she also had a RTW of apparel. For her clothing line, she got tired of ordering inventory hoping and hustling to sell it. At the same time, she was feeling lost creatively and went through a very difficult time - the passing of her mother. Jennyvi took solace in reading Jane Austen novels. This lead to a creative outlet of desiging prints (and dresses, at first) to honor Jane Austen. Boom. A new business was launched out of a desire to heal. We talk about solving the inventory problem and how her journey has unfolded - which hasn't been quick or easy. It's a really fascinating discussion.

I got this statement from an entrepreneur the other day, "I don't want to wait forever to grow".

She's doing all the things a product based business should be doing. She's consistent with content, testing how many days a week she should be emailing, her production is streamlined, etc... ALL the things

She asked me "What else can I do?".

Today, I'll focus on you the entrepreneur. I'll give some suggestions, ask 4 questions that you can answer and tell you what's missing so you can get more sales NOW.

Have you ever been to a conference and felt so excited and motivated to kick ass? And then you get home, feeling great, ready to take on the world -- for about 3 days. And the motivation disappears. (Motivation is like taking a shower, you can't do it on Sunday and expect it to last until Thursday.)

Which leads us to discipline. But someone like me, I am NOT very disciplined. Not even close. So how is it that I get so much accomplished? I break it down in this episode. Enjoy!
