Manifesting Millions | Real Money for High Achieving Women

Have you ever been sitting there thinking, 'I need money NOW. How the heck am I going to bring it in right away?'

If you have, you are exactly where I was last week. August has been a financially tough month and with bills raining in, I knew I needed to do SOMETHING!

In today's podcast episode I'm sharing EXACTLY what I did to bring 5 new design clients in - in less than 24 hours! Lemme just say - that's something I've never done so far!

I'm going to share:

>> How meditation gave me the exact idea that rained the money in my bank account
>> How I needed to overcome challenges that popped up at causing massive frustration (and left me not wanting to say hello to my very lovely neighbour)
>> How, even as the bookings were rolling in, my past patterns were trying to derail me - and what I did to not let them
>> Why each booking is about more than just that booking
AND!
>> The Launch Pad Challenge! - I'll tell you exactly what it is and where you can join! (go to daretobegin.net/thelaunchpad to sign up!)

This is such a good freaking episode. If you're not on fire after listening, you must be sitting in the rain. Plus, you have my blessing and encouragement to take exactly what I did to bring in those clients and use it to bolster your business!

Remember, all ships rise with the tide!

Today I feel called into Inspired Action; the moment when you just know you gotta do something.

If you follow me on the Instagrams (thanks by the way!) then you may have seen my posts last week sharing openly the numbers in my design biz as well as the fact that it scares the bejeezus out of me to share them.

In today's episode I'm sharing more deeply the numbers in my design biz as well as pulling the curtain back and sharing some of the 'behind-the-scenes' stuff.

Just a few things I'm talking about include:

>> Some key lessons from my first 5 years in biz
>> An honest talk about my numbers - as well as what was happening in the background
>> How I've limited my success
>> The decision to choose fear
>> Why we need to let go of the 'big number success' balogne so we can actually move forward

I also mention near the end that Lost to Launched Academy is opening it's doors in September. If you'd like to get on the waitlist (where there's maybe going to be some waitlisty goodies!), I invite you to go to www.daretobegin.net/join and sign up onto the list. You'll be the first to know when the doors open in September AND possibly get some extra special bonuses.

Omgoodness. Do you ever have something SO FREAKING GOOD you are just crazy with excitement?! That's how I feel about today's podcast episode!

Paige brings it all the way through with powerful wisdom and teachings that I know can change your life in big ways! She's a total Money Manifestation Magnet, so today we're talking money, claiming a niche and turning 30!

Just a few other highlights of what you'll find inside include:

... And how do you get clear?! One of the struggles of starting a business is knowing who it is you'd like to serve. And if you haven't had clients yet (ie. you're brand spankin' new!), how the heck do you KNOW who you want to serve?!!!

The good news is that even if you haven't had any clients, even if this biz idea is just that - an idea - you CAN begin to figure out who you want to serve AND the secret sauce: why you want to serve them!

So that's what we're breaking down in today's episode - 4 steps to clarify who you're serving. I share things like:
>> Why time away (during the week or vacation time) is SUPER important
>> How 'WHY' comes into play when defining who your perfect client is
>> What exactly your 'perfect client' IS
>> The benefit of clarity over time when it comes to understanding your perfect client
>> How passion can be a magnet for your perfect client
Plus, in the episode, I share that I'm offering an exclusive, limited-time offering on the Lost to Launched Academy; head on over to the show notes at daretobegin.net/blog/28 to get the coupon code. This very special offer is only available until October 15, 2019, so get it before it's gone!

I love when random events and experiences not only leave you feeling excited (heck, thrilled!), they also offer valuable opportunities for lessons!

Such was my experience at this year's Calgary Stampede.

Now, for those of you who may not know, Calgary Stampede is a 10 event centred around western events (think full on rodeo). There's bull- and bronc-riding, cowboy-styled horsemanship challenges, heavy horse pulls, barrel racing, and of course, chuck wagon racing (and so much more!!).

Stampede is more than just the western events however. There's naturally lots of food trucks, rides, games, trade shows, demonstrations and lots and lots of concerts and party halls. Really, the entire city shuts down for Stampede - it's a big freakin' deal.

And I love every minute of it.

This year I had the fabulous opportunity to be hosted to the Stampede, and, for the first time EVER, go to the chuck wagon races and the grandstand show!

To say I was excited is putting it mildly.

As I was driving home afterward and thinking about all that I experienced, I began to see a number of takeaways that I wanted to share with you.

So today's episode talks about my 5 Takeaways from the Calgary Stampede, touching on things like:

>The (super) loaded topic of chuck wagon racing - not everyone is on board
>Personal growth reminders and practices I had while watching horses race through dirt
>A highly valuable exercise I tried in picking the winners for each heat (and how I aim to practice more of that in my business!)
>Chuck wagon horses, aka: competitors, and the idea that 'how you do one thing is how you do everything'
And so much more!

I love today's episode and I trust you'll gain a TON of value from it!

Can it really be that simple? Is it really possible that you only need to focus on 2 things in your biz? Isn't it more likely that there's hundreds of things to focus on?

Yes it really can be that simple.

Yes it really is possible that there's only 2 things.

What if I told you that all those 'hundreds of things' actually boil down to these 2?

We love to make things more complicated than they need to be (trust me, my hand is up). But when we boil it down to its essence, a successful business can be defined by two things.

It's these two things that I'm talking about in today's episode. What you'll learn when you focus on these two things is:

-Your clients will LOVE you for holding your focus here
-Your business will have far fewer headaches - and far happier clients & staff
-You'll naturally create raving clients - hello testimonials!
-Even though you're not focusing on your bottom line, your bottom line WILL continue to grow
That's all I'm sharing with you in the notes today friend! Tune in to find out what these two things are and how simple it can be to focus on them!

Have you ever been rewarded for something you already love to do (and do naturally)? Like when you hold the door for someone and they say thank you? It may not seem like a reward just now but that simple acknowledgement sends a little dopamine hit in your brain - hello reward!

As humans, we may seem complex, but in some ways, we really are simple creatures. Simple in the sense that we love doing things that feel good - and get acknowledged along the way.

This little human trait can be a powerful motivator and growth strategy for your business, IF used and implemented correctly.

In today's podcast, I'm going to talk with you about Referral Programs - a powerful tool that works perfectly in sync with our human desire for pleasure and acknowledgement.

Specifically we're touching on these things:

-What a referral program actually is
-Why you need one (a GOOD one)
-Who you offer it to
-What a referral program absolutely must NOT DO
-How to set one up while protecting your bottom line

Don't be fooled - referral programs are often done incorrectly and selfishly. The information in today's episode can easily change things for the better in your biz - if you pay attention.

There are so many moving parts in a growing business and one of the more powerful tools you can have for growing your business is testimonials.

Great testimonials do not just land in your lap, however. As much as we'd love for our clients to just send us raving reviews without any effort on our part, it's just not reality.

The good news is, that with just a little bit of effort, you can bring in those powerhouse testimonials so other potential clients can make an easy decision to work with you or buy from you.

In today's episode I cover a few things, such as:

The importance of celebrating all the wins
A few surprising takeaways from my recent trip to San Francisco
How having a mentor has impacted my business
as well as:

What a testimonial is really for
Overcoming my fear to hire a coach and what I might include in a testimonial
How and when to ask for a testimonial
And a super important note on privacy
Have a listen and let me know what you think! Just head on over to the Instagrams (@idaretobegin) and comment on the most recent post, referencing 'episode #24' and sharing what you learned, questions you have, etc!

Have you ever been talking with a business owner and they've been ranting about how terrible their clients are? That their clients just don't seem to 'get it'? That they don't 'respect' the business owners time, value or team?

How we speak *about* our clients matters. The words you speak adds energy around your business and your clients - do you really want to add energy that attracts even more frustrating clients?

Probably not.

In today's episode, we're covering:

- How I love birthdays (unrelated but important!)
- What I realized after speaking with other business owners about their clients
- Why you need to take responsibility in your business
- Two steps you can take to discover why your clients may be frustrating you and how you can change the narrative

If you want some great in depth training about the topics covered in today's episode, be sure to grab your Profit Power Pack. Business needs to make money (aka: profits) but it's more than just charging money. Get it here: daretobegin.net/profit

Do you struggle asking to get paid in your business or setting clear and concise payment terms? If you're feeling unconfident about this you're not alone. Recently I brought in my first 5-figure contract and while I was super excited, the truth is I had to repeatedly stop myself from talking myself out of putting together the proposal.

And I discovered that not only is that seemingly common, it is most common among those of us who have loads of experience! Let's nip this thing in the bud so you can grow your business, rather than stand in the corner wringing your hands because you're nervous to ask your clients to pay you.
