Marketing Chaos

How many excuses are you using to not get yourself, and your amazing, brilliant content out to the world? This episode is about getting over yourself, and getting your list growing. Here are my five tips for doing just that!

1. You don't have to be perfect to get out there... this is not about you.
2. No one is paying attention to all the problems you think you have or the judgments you have of you.
3. Get over the point of view that you have to be a tech genius to do this.
4. You don't have to do this like anyone else.
5. The more you do, the better you get.

If you are willing to change the excuses, reasons and justifications that stop you from being as successful as you really could be, then tune in to this episode!

If you are like me then you may have bright, shiny object syndrome. What is that? It means that you get very excited by what you are creating and you are all in and you are ready to get started. And then at some point you kind of lose interest and you really just want to kind of wipe your hands of it and move on to something new. 

Sound familiar? Here are my top tips to get focused and stay on track!

1. Instead of killing the project, ask yourself "Who or what do I need to put in place for this to continue?"
2. Recognize that you may have a joy of failure...
3. Ask yourself, "Am I playing a big enough game?"

Hey guys, Lauren Marie here, the Non-Mom-Mom, coming to you from my home in sunny Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, talking to you about the three reasons not to work from home with kids.

If these three reasons apply to you, then you should definitely consider not becoming a working mom that stays at home. 

So number one, if you would like a predictable day, a predictable life definitely this is not for you. Are you okay with things coming
up on the fly and getting creative?

Number two ... if you like being told what to do. Do you actually like to work for yourself or would you like to have a boss?

And reason number three is if you would like to separate work and your personal life. If you want it to be separate, working from home is not going to work for you.

Episode number 9 - we’re talking today about 3 habits to adopt now to juggle family and business. Woo hoo!

The first thing I want to say about it is that you don’t have to buy into other people’s realities when it comes to being a working parent. There are a lot of people out there that find it very overwhelming, stressful, and who will be projecting at you all the time about how hard it is.

What’s your reality with working as a parent, and what if it didn’t have to be like anyone else’s? If you were going to create your reality with your family and your business, how would that be? It could actually be easy for you to juggle your family and business, and it could be created totally different.

My first tip to juggling family and business is to be willing to change on a dime, improvise, and be imperfect. This means not being attached to having a plan!

Number two is to do whatever it takes. Maybe you do have to get up an hour earlier. Maybe you do have to stay up after your kids go to bed and learn a new skill or study, or have that extra stream of income that you do while they’re sleeping. Do whatever it takes, and be really crafty and willing to get down and dirty.

Number three, is to each night look at your to do list and to pick a maximum of three things that you will complete the next day. This about recognizing where your energy needs to be and what is a priority for you that day.

Are the decisions that you're making in your business about the money? You're probably going, "Well, it's a business, shouldn't it be about the money?" Well, yes and no. Include money in your choices, but not make your choices about the money. Because when you do that you start to make your business and your life smaller and smaller. You stop choosing what is going to create your business and create your life and you start diminishing that in favor of, "Well, I can afford it, or this is the right choice based on the amount of money I have or I don't have". That is not actually going to create a greater future for you or for your
business.

So, when you're making choices, you want to ask, "What will this choice create?" And not have it be, "Can I afford this?". If you get a sense of the energy of those two questions, which one is more
expansive?

It's almost backwards, we think we have to have the money before we make the choice. Actually we have to make the choice, and the money will follow. Ask for money to show up, and allow the contribution of the universe to support you financially and in all other ways. Include the money in your ask, but don't make it about the money.

We're talking today about how to scale your online business, in particular three ways that I suggest you get started. So you have some revenue streams, you have some income coming in and you would like more and you would like your business to go bigger.

Firstly, start by increasing your reach and growing your audience. So you have your existing email list, you have your followers on Facebook and Instagram, and we want to increase that. The number one way to do that is to create consistent content. Your "followers" will find you if you are posting regularly, if you're sending regular emails and you're creating valuable and relevant content for them,

The second way is to grow your team. There is only so much you can do personally. Start wherever you're at, writing down everything that you do throughout your day. And on each item ask this question: Could someone else be doing this? There are some things that you need to do in your business and then there is a lot of other stuff that can be taken care of by someone else.

The third way is to position yourself as an expert. One way to really scale your online business is to become an expert and to position yourself as one. Look at what media media you can be featured in, or ask your current clients for testimonials and their stories of change since working with you. 

So these are three quick ways of growing and scaling your online business. And if you would like to really dive in, subscribe right here to this Global Practitioner Podcast so you don’t miss anything!

Today I wanted to talk to you about the six words that you want to eliminate from your vocabulary as a successful Global Practitioner.

The energy that you are when you're talking and the words that you're using is a reflection of what you're creating in your life. So, are you aware of the words that you're using? Are you catching yourself when you're using words that are creating limitation, or destruction in your life?

And are you aware that it's not just semantics, it's actually creating a reality? So, by changing the words that you use, you can change what you are creating in your business and in your life. So, here are the six words that you want to stop saying: why, try, need, want, but, and never.

Today’s podcast episode is all about working from home. What I would like to do is give you the five things that I did that worked for me to create 500% of the income that I was making before I had my twins. 

Number one is to choose to commit to yourself, your family, the money and life you would like to create, and the change you would like to see in the world. 

Number two is to educate yourself and teach yourself new skills? What are you already good at? What could you learn that would be a valuable asset for creating an online business?

Number three is to just start. You don't have to have it all figured out, just begin!

Number four, look at what streams of revenue you can add to your life. You want to look at what you can add, rather than what to take away.

Number five, look at the top online businesses, bloggers, influencers, podcasters, or online course creators, and see what support you can be for those people.

Is work your guilty pleasure?

Now, if you hate working, if you hate creating, if you don't like making money, this is not for you. Please stop listening now, you're not going to enjoy this. But if you're like me and you actually love to create, and your work brings you lots of joy and money, then this is for you.

When I found out I was pregnant (with twins!), my biggest fear was that I was going to have to stop working and that I was going to have to give up what I do. There was a lot of guilt because I love working, and everyone required my attention! 

What I found was that when I started to make choices that included me and my family, but were not based on avoiding guilt, I was able to do what I love and spend my time with the people I love without feeling guilty. 

Wouldn't it be nice to hang up that guilt at the door and just leave it there? Listen to this episode to find out how I did it!
