Mindset and Method

One of the things in business that is the most crucial, but people often find the hardest, is designing in consistency and predictability - both in terms of workload and income.

In this episode, I cover why it seems so hard to build this into your business and the three things that will help you achieve it, including...

✅ Streamlining what you deliver to make sure you have an offer that sells - that also gives maximum value but is not linked to your time.

✅ Designing the right sales and marketing strategy for you so you can build consistency into your lead generation process and turn your warmest leads into sales every single month.

✅ Knowing your numbers so you can build predictability into your business. So you can take the holidays off with your kids and know where your next sale is coming from and how you're going to continue to deliver top quality, even when you don't want to be working.

If your business isn't working for you - and you're not loving it the way you thought you would - chances are there's one thing you haven't considered that might make a whole load of difference...

...and that is whether you're actually selling the right thing?

Today on the Business Backstage series - where I chat 'behind the scenes' to our amazing Altitude Business Growth Experts - I welcome Hils Crisp, The Business Alchemiste to chat about that very topic.

First, we chat about why you might not be getting the results you want from your business and help uncover if it might be the way your offer is structured, priced or marketed.

We also cover what happens if you get your offer or marketing wrong and the cycle you can go down with self-sabotage and a crisis of confidence if your offer doesn't sell the way you were expecting. Often this results in crafting something cheaper or more affordable for your audience, which also means you're watering down your value and might actually result in it being HARDER to sell.

We then look at how to craft your offer, and Hils' own 'Offer Creation' process, including your ideal client's problems, how important it is to do your marketing research and how a great offer is tried and tested, and then constantly improved before it becomes a great offer for you AND your audience.

There are 3 core things you need to focus on when you're growing a business and today's episode takes you through the 3 pillars and a simple activity to do to help re-set your focus - ready for a New Year, or whenever you need a reboot.

• The first core pillar is all about your mindset and your core self-belief - and how much you believe your goals will happen.
• The second is simplicity - and how so many people grow an overcomplicated business and what you can do about it. If you think of your business as a jigsaw puzzle - you get to choose how many pieces you create and how they fit together.
• The third is implementation - the bit in-between forming a plan and making it happen which is all about 2 things - to make sure you have the right support to get you unstuck when you need it and having the right mindset to stay motivated to stick to the plan.

So many people over-complicate the sales process, so today we have our own Altitude Sales and Confidence Coach, Lisa Yelland to chat with me about making Sales Simple!

We chat about...

✅ Making sure you're selling the right thing - does what you sell help you reach your business goals? How do you make sure what you sell adds up to what you want to earn AND is your best offer that works for you. Then is your offer the BEST offer for your client / customer, or just the one you think they might buy?

✅ Sales Mindset & Techniques - Covering the sales mindset around you, your offer and your clients. Making sure you have the confidence in yourself and communicate effectively what you do. Making sure you love what you offer.

✅ Your Sales Process - Create a process where you know your numbers. When you know your numbers, you can take the emotion out of sale and build a strategy where you can see with confidence where and when the next sale will come.

Figuring out the right price for whatever it is you offer can be a minefield.

Pricing is as much about your confidence and mindset as it is about what you're actually selling and this is why so many women in business struggle to find the right price.

In this episode, I explain my way to find the right price for you.

Many people try to figure out their price by estimating how long they will spend on an activity, or how much profit they might make from a sale, then times this number by an hourly rate. The problem with this is there is no high level vision of the business you want to grow and therefore there is no alignment of your price with your strategy.

For me, pricing makes much more sense when we do it the opposite way round.

✨ Work out what kind of a business you want to grow ✨ Work out how much you want to earn from that business ✨ Work out how many clients, customers or sales you could easily deliver ✨ Do the calculation to find out the price that actually builds you the business you want to grow ✨ Figure out how you fit the pieces together to make what you sell feel like an absolute steal for the price you have set.

Have a listen to the episode to find out how to do all the above and if you're stuck with your price, you can book in a quick 15-minute Business Bullet Call with me to get my eyes on your business by click on https://www.jennidonato.com/bullet/...

In this episode, we have a special guest, Emma Jenkings, who is a workplace mediator and assertiveness coach. Emma brings her expertise to the table as we dive into the importance of assertiveness in business growth.

Confident and clear communication is a crucial factor in any successful business, and assertiveness plays a key role in achieving this. We explore how being assertive allows individuals to express their thoughts and needs effectively, leading to better relationships and increased opportunities.

Perception has a significant impact on our thoughts and behaviors, and we delve into how women, in particular, need to understand their self-image when starting businesses. We discuss how societal judgment and childhood experiences can shape our beliefs about success and ambition. It is essential for women to challenge these limiting beliefs and empower themselves to reach their full potential.

But it doesn't stop at understanding. We emphasise the importance of taking action and experiencing situations to become more assertive. By stepping into desired roles and facing challenges head-on, individuals can grow and develop their assertiveness.

In this episode, we start by discussing the frustration and sense of being stuck that can arise when passion-driven work fails to yield monetary success.

Kayleigh Provins, a renowned money mindset coach and one of our Business Growth Experts on Altitude explains how our mindset towards money plays a crucial role in determining our financial outcomes.

She emphasizes the mindset of wealthy individuals, who view money as a means to fulfil desires and create a positive impact in their lives and the world. Then we reflect on the detrimental effects of operating from a place of fear and scarcity when it comes to money. We stress the need to adopt a different mindset, one rooted in abundance and possibility, in order to achieve greater success.

We discuss the journey of starting a business and finding your own unique path - avoiding generic solutions and embracing authenticity to attract sales. Failure is an integral part of this journey, and throughout the episode we encourage listeners to learn from their mistakes and bounce back stronger.

A highlight of the episode is the distinction between the mindset of corporate employees and entrepreneurs when it comes to money. Listeners are encouraged to challenge fixed ideas about income and spending and embrace the entrepreneurial mindset, which embraces the potential for unlimited financial growth.

Drawing from personal experiences, we share our own journey through trauma, shedding light on the four common responses to challenging situations. We explore the importance of identifying self-limiting beliefs and creating a safe environment to foster progress in business ventures.

Marie provides invaluable insights into various techniques that can aid in healing the brain and building new neural pathways. From cognitive behavioural therapy to somatic work, meditation, and breathing exercises, she offers a holistic approach to address the effects of trauma.

We get deeply personal as we share powerful stories of mindset shifts that helped us overcome obstacles to forge our own paths in business. The importance of reflecting on childhood behaviour and utilizing the five-second rule to respond effectively in times of struggle are highlighted as key tools for personal growth.
