“I’m doing all the things and it’s not working.”

If I had a nickel for every time I heard this statement (from clients and otherwise) I’d have shut down my business and moved to a secluded island in Aruba already ;)

Kidding, but seriously. I hear this phrase a lot.

Most women go straight to the external stuff when they feel like their strategy isn’t working. They start changing their offer, their messaging, their audience, where they’re showing up, the prices they’re charging, etc.

In reality, there are three things you need to look at when it comes to why your strategy isn’t working:

• Frequency: are you talking about your offer enough? Most women aren’t. If you don’t feel like a broken record when talking about your offer, then you’re not talking about it enough.

• Visibility: are you getting in front of enough of the right people? How many visits have been made to your landing page? Your sales page? Are you actually telling people about your offer or inviting them to chat with you about it? If not, then that’s why you’re not seeing the interest you want.

• Thoughts: If you can be honest and say that you’re showing up with enough frequency and that your visibility is on point, then we need to look at your thoughts. Do you believe your offer is important? Do you believe people are crazy not to buy it right now? If we’re honest, our thoughts say something completely different from our actions. We may act like we want clients, but inside our thoughts are resisting it like crazy.

Creating a strategy is the easy part. Implementing that strategy is the hard part. Why? A few reasons:

1 - Because we’re worried about being salesy or pushy. We allow the judgements of people who aren’t our ideal client to dictate our marketing. 

2 - We’re afraid of hearing the word no. No represents failure. We make it mean WAY more than it should. No doesn’t mean anything about you...unless you make it mean something.

3 - We’re scared we won’t be able to serve clients or handle the responsibility that comes with success. We’ve already decided the outcome of the client relationship before we’ve even landed the client.

What’s coming up for you? Which area do you need to look at to get the results you desire?

This is a super special episode because I’m doing something I’ve NEVER done before...I’m releasing a bonus training from my Dream Client Accelerator program.

The reason I’m releasing this training is because it addresses how to handle haters online. This is something all of you will face (whether you like it or not) and I don’t want the threat of haters to keep you from showing up and getting visible.

In this episode I touch on the following:

→ Why haters are haters to begin with

→ How to handle snarky comments or people who disagree with you

→ How to move forward after dealing with a hater (and how to learn from it so it makes your business stronger)

The Dream Client Accelerator will give you a proven framework for growing an online community of consistent clients.

When you join the program you’ll:

→ Join a community of empowered women just like you who are growing audiences and making consistent sales

→ Get the proven framework for confidently growing a 6-figure business

→ Accelerate your growth with a team of 6-figure coaches who give you weekly support, accountability & direction

The doors to the Accelerator open this summer. Get all the details now.

Let’s talk about freedom, shall we?

A whole lot of you don’t have very much freedom in your business. And that sucks because for women (especially moms) freedom is THE necessary ingredient to reaching 6-figures.

What does freedom look like? It looks like having control over your business. Who you work with, when you work, how much money you make, etc. This isn’t something that’s just handed to you when you start a business. You have to CHOOSE it...and the act of choosing is usually the most difficult.

In the episode I discuss the top 5 freedoms every business needs, including:

→ Freedom in what type of clients you serve (and how you serve them)

→ Freedom to work as much as you want to, when you want

→ Freedom to make as much money as you want for your family without the guilt

→ Freedom to stop comparing yourself to every other person on the Internet and own your God-given talents

→ Freedom to make decisions for your business without needing permission or approval from others

Which freedom do you need the most in your business right now?

If we’re honest, we don’t want the unexpected to happen. We want our businesses to run smoothly 100% of the time.

Unfortunately, that’s not the reality. Instead of focusing on avoiding the unexpected, what if we became more confident in our ability to handle it?

In this week’s episode, I chat about the time I lost three clients in one day (yes, three!) and share my best tips for handling the unexpected in your business.

Here are my top 5 tips for handling the unexpected in your business:

1 - Give yourself time to feel the feelings

2 - Map out a plan

3 - Focus on the people who need you

4 - Get support

5 - Recognize that the unexpected can be a blessing in disguise
