This is a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of exactly how I created my brand new digital program, Built for Purpose, in 6 days. Listen in and learn how you can do it too!

Here’s the thing. You could spend months perfecting an amazing program, but success favors speed. We have to make quicker decisions in our business to make things profitable. So often the only thing standing in our way is us, overthinking something.

The key to creating a digital course is just to do it, and do it quickly.

Listen in to learn:

• Why running a live group cohort first to get real-time market research can make all the difference in the world for the success of your course
• The mistakes I made with my first program, and what to do instead
• The step-by-step, day-by-day roadmap to creating a course in less than a week.

The sooner you can put your program out there, the more feedback you will receive to make it better for the 2nd, 3rd… 8th version. That is why it doesn’t have to be perfect the first time around.

If you have been wanting to get a digital course out into the world, get it done in a week and share your gifts. It’s time, my friend.

Heidi B is a business coach who helps entrepreneurial women use micro-strategy to generate momentum and cash in their businesses. She affectionately refers to herself as the Ultimate Hype-Accountability Coach You Didn’t Know You Needed.

Heidi simplifies marketing and selling your services. She says building a business comes down to meeting people, telling them what you do, and how they can work with. It’s not complicated, but you can’t just post a reel and expect people to purchase your program. You have to build relationships.

The key is to ask: How can we make revenue this week? Who do we need to talk to and build relationships with to sell our services?

She also has a multitude of amazing tips for selling on social media. (A LOT of people do it wrong.) Listen in to learn what a digital handshake is!

Have you ever wanted to see your name in special publications or media outlets? This week I am sharing an exclusive behind-the-scenes scoop on how I have gotten articles published for Create & Cultivate and interviewed in really cool and notable publications such as Forbes, Well+Good, Best Life and so many more. I’m sharing exactly step-by-step how I did it, and you can too. You probably know that getting featured in reputable media outlets is one of the top things you can do to build credibility at any stage of your career or business. After all, that means a reputable media outlet has trusted their audience to you and it goes a long way in building credibility with your audience. But first, let's address the elephant in the room. (do you see it too?)

Does saying you are an expert in a certain area make you sweat a little? Hellooo imposter syndrome!

If you have had any of these thoughts, you are not alone:

• I am not an expert

• I don’t know enough

• What am I even going to talk about?

• Does anyone care??

These are all limiting beliefs.

The truth is that everything you’ve gone through in life up to this exact moment allows you to speak from your experience. No matter what level you are at, you have tools and resources to share with someone else. You only need to be one step ahead of someone else to be able to provide value to them. 

You have everything you need right now to start getting featured in your favorite publications.

There are a few key things you can do to get your pitch to the exact right person and have it stand out in the crowd.

Long gone are the days where you can post a pretty picture to Instagram with a simple caption like... "Fun Summer Dayzzz." Beautiful images, vague captions and generic quotes are not going to get the results you need... which for my clients is building a business. Let's face it, to play the social media game and get engagement (and clients!) from your content means you need to be showing up on video. You may feel like there is a LOT of noise online and wonder how the heck you can stand out from the crowd. If so, I have great news. This week we have a special treat on the podcast to teach us about showing up as ourselves on video on social media. And more importantly, what showing up on video can do for your business and your life! Dana Bowling is a brand strategist and video coach. And she happens to be one of my all-time favorite people to follow on social media. So when I thought about podcast guests you just had to experience, she immediately came to mind.

Dana gives us tips on how to get out of your own way when you hit record so you can get that content off your phone and into the world... And impacting other people's lives. (Hint: the only way to get better is to do it!) The fear is never going to go away watching from the sidelines. Mindlessly scrolling. Consuming until you get overcome with comparison-exhaustion. Dana challenges us to get past our fears and go one step further to get our messaging right so we will become a magnet for clients to come to us.

Bold truth coming in hot! Aligning your core values with your work is the only way to experience fulfillment in your career or business. I call this unlocking the power of your purpose.

Inside this episode I reveal the juicy details over my recent crisis in values, what it looks and feels like, and how to get out of it.

Being a former marital and family therapy associate, and having a psychology degree, I'm really obsessed with how we are wired and what motivates us. Listen in as I go on a deep dive into this idea that we have dominating core values, and how they change over time.

I’ll reveal why my core values are driving me to relaunch the podcast, and show up and serve my community in even more impact and more meaningful ways than I was before. I share why I paused the podcast in the first place, what I’ve been working on this past year, and why it’s ok to pivot and re-evaluate things. Sometimes that’s the only way to come back stronger!

Inside this episode, I also teach what it means to you use the P.O.W.E.R. formula to step into your purpose. A lot of times we choose work for so many different reasons, maybe we're influenced by our parents or friends or how we can make money or what we studied in college, or maybe a particular teacher in school helped influence our career path.

And then at some point, we connect with a deeper core value that doesn’t align with our work anymore. For you, this might look like you’ve had success in your career, climbed this corporate ladder and then realized it isn’t what you want anymore.

Have you been letting fear take a hold of your life and preventing you from getting into action around your next big idea? Are you paralyzed from moving forward because you find yourself terrified of “failing?”

If so, you’re in the right place. This is a jam-packed practical episode to push through fear and redefine failure so you can get moving forward in your business and life.

Here’s the truth: You will never feel fully ready.

You will never wake up and feel 100% fearless.

Sometimes you have to push through & go for things.

Failure is not meant to shut us down. It’s used to spur growth and character. 

Failure is not what we think in the traditional sense of the word. We need to redefine the word... and I think you'll relate and really like the new definition I give you.

I'll also walk you through a few simple exercises to help you get out of your own way!

The riches are in the niches!

Have you heard this phrase and are left wondering why you need to niche down and how the heck to do it?

On this episode we dive into it.

FIRST, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO NICHE? People pay for a specialty solution to an urgent problem. They don’t just pay for better health or more confidence. Those things go on to help them accomplish a tangible result they are after. In other words, your offer won’t fly off the shelf if it’s not solving a specific problem and offering a tangible result. AND WHY IS IT SO DANG HARD TO NICHE? We are big-hearted humans who want to help a lot of people solve a lot of problems. Also.. being clear about something we are emotionally tied to is hard to do on our own. OK, SO HOW DO I NICHE? Ask the following questions:

• Who is this program/ service/ product for?

• What is that ONE problem I will solve that hits inside a client’s zone of urgency?

• What is the end result or tangible benefit I will offer?

• Can I create a methodology, a formula, a plan that is my special sauce?

It’s no secret that niching is hard to do, but that’s it’s necessary for the growth of your business.

Hit PLAY on this episode and find out how you can nail your niche to explode your online business, starting today!
