Today’s episode is particularly exciting because we’re getting back into the groove with spotlighting other amazing OTs who are on this journey of going rogue. And we're kicking things off with none other than Sarah Lyon. 

In 2011, Sarah launched OT potential because she realized the incredible need for a reliable source of quality occupational therapy-related content and resources. 

As you’re going to hear in this interview, Sarah is on a mission. Through her OT Potential platform, she now has a blog, a podcast and a membership-based journal club -- all geared towards helping OT practitioners from around the globe to make a habit of regularly exploring new OT-related research. 

Later this month, she’s also launching an OT directory, which we talk more about and let me tell you, I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to get my name on an OT directory before!

Tune into the full episode and you’ll hear us talk about: 

• How she navigates work-life balance when working from home AND partnering with her husband 
• Her decision to be a generalist and intentionally NOT niche down
• The importance of having a platform that shines a spotlight on other OTs
• How she manages the pressure of having so many eyes on her work
• Her long term vision for OT potential

You can check out Sarah's work by going to https://otpotential.com/ -- and you can use the coupon code ROGUE to get an additional $5 off any of her plans, including the directory that goes live on February 20th. This coupon is valid until the end of April!

See you next week!

Have you ever thought about being an affiliate for another entrepreneur, where you're promoting their offer in exchange for a commission payment? Or maybe you've thought about taking on affiliate partners for one of your programs or offers? 

Well, before you take this idea much further, I want you to tune into this episode where I break down eight things to consider before entering into an affiliate relationship. 

In this episode you’re going to hear me talk about: 

• The importance of getting clarity on the fundamentals of your offer before expecting someone else to market and sell it
• How your offer goes through stages of development -- and why this matters for affiliate marketing
• Things to consider when deciding on the commission payment
• Understanding what your affiliates need in order to be successful

If you need any help in setting up a successful affiliate system for your offer -- or if you want help in further developing your offer so that you're ready for affiliates, please reach out!

Are you dabbling in the online space and sometimes feel pressured to go “all in” as a Digital CEO? Or maybe you’re offering in-person services and it feels all-encompassing, meaning you’re wondering how you could possibly take on an online revenue stream on the side? 

Do you ever wonder if you can have the best of both worlds?

Well, after being 100% fully online for the last 4.5 years, today I’m pulling back the curtain on my return to in-person services. 

In this episode you’re going to hear me talk about: 

• The changes I’ve experienced in my personal life and why I was motivated to go back to working in my community
• How I’m filling some important gaps in my business with this in-person consulting contract
• The downside of working in-person and why I appreciate my online work more than ever!

Are there days where you question if you’re making things harder than they need to be? 

Or maybe there are times where you’re so in the thick of it, that you don’t even realize there might be an easier way…

Well, my friend, you are not alone.

And on today’s episode, we’re going to shine a light on times in our business journey where we may very well be making things more challenging than they need to be. We’re also going to explore some reasons on why this is and what we can do about it moving forward.

Welcome to the first episode of 2023! We’re kicking the year off by re-introducing our “Coaching Conversations” series where I sit down with one of my students and coach them through challenges or roadblocks in their business that many of our listeners may also be facing.

Today I have the pleasure of hosting Kylee Leavitt. Kylee is based out of North Carolina, US and her clinical background is in pediatrics. After experiencing a tough transitional period in her life, she’s now using her own journey with a coach to inspire her work as a parent coach and an educator.

I’m so excited to have Kylee on the show as we dig deep into client acquisition & marketing and attempt to answer the question “My website is live and I’m really happy with the offer I've created, now what?”

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER : 

• The secret to taking your offer and turning it into social media content.
• How to avoid getting caught up in the “perfectionist" mentality. 
• Why you should be thinking twice before offering that discount as a purchase incentive.

To check out more of Kylee's work -- and cheer her on as she continues to put herself out there, you can go to her website https://www.kyleeleavitt.com/ or give her a follow her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kyleecleavitt/
