Promote Yourself to CEO | Small Business Strategy for Women Entrepreneurs

Let me know if this sounds familiar to you. Have you ever said:

I'm not ready to take that step.

I'm not ready to sign up to work with a coach.

I'm not ready to put my website out there.

I'm not ready to do a Facebook Live.

I'm not ready to charge that much.

I'm not ready to attract that type of client.

I know I've had every single one of those thoughts. Here's what I just want to share with you if you have been letting the "I'm not ready" run the show.

Saying "I'm not ready, I'm not ready to charge. I'm not ready to do a huge rebrand of my website. I'm not ready to work with a business coach. I'm not ready to hire a virtual assistant".

If that is the default that you're going to is "I'm not ready yet", that is a fear-based response.

Over the last few weeks I have been sharing the Path to Predictable Profits, it has been an epic seven part Facebook Live series. It's been so much fun to share these lessons with you, things that will help you to grow your business to getting that consistent $5,000 a month or that consistent $10,000 a month.

After we covered all of that, now it's time for an Ask Me Anything!

• "I'm interested to know more about how you mesh in-person trainings with online business. We do both and it's not always easy!" Answer at 4:30
• "I would love tips to fill retreats and in-person events." Answer at 10:30
• "As a locally based business with a 1x1 offering, I'm still struggling to figure out where to put more energy to build my practice. Where should I put my focus to get more peeps in the door?" Answer at 15:27
• "Do you constantly monitor your analytics to see where you can make improvements? What processes do you have in place to make sure your ideal clients have a smooth process from prospect to buyer?" Answer at 20:08
• "I'm very new to starting my own business. My biggest hurdle is knowing how to best seek out quality clients. I'm still employed in my 8-5 job and many of those clients would be great clients for my business. However, I feel that would be a conflict of interest. I need income until my business is stable, where else should I look for quality clients?" Answer at 27:33
• "Do you have a resource to help me create my signature offering?" Answer at 33:37
• "How did you know it was the right time to switch from The Yogipreneur to Racheal Cook MBA and how did you navigate that?" Answer at 40:11

Us entrepreneurs - we are idea generating machines.

We see opportunities everywhere. We discover new solutions to old problems. On a daily basis we're inspired to create something new that could change the world.

Our biggest strength is can also be our biggest weakness. Those new ideas all too easily become shiny objects that hold us back from gaining the momentum we need to build a profitable, sustainable business.

I'm so excited for today's show because the last few weeks for Uncomplicate Your Business, I have been sharing a lot about how you can design the life you love while you grow your dream business.

This is something that I feel like we leave out of the whole business building equation. We end up finding ourselves completely burned out, realizing that we haven't been taking care of our health, we haven't been spending quality time with our families, we haven't been having a life as we grow our business because we feel like we just have to hustle, hustle, hustle nonstop instead of finding that balance.

The last few weeks, we've been talking about how you can design your dream life while you grow your business. Today is an ask me anything, an ask me anything about how I manage to find that balance.
