If you want the majority of your business to run by referral or sphere, then the overall customer experience had better become your number 1 priority.

Every entrepreneur thinks their experience is great.  None of us set out to do business with the intentionality of "let it suck".  The question is this:
Do you really understand how to create an experience that results in Super Fans who rave about it?

In today's episode I'm diving into the mindset behind customer experience, why it's critical and giving you some insights to consider.

It's hard to believe it's that time of year again.  The time when we look up and realize that we've already broken our New Year's Resolutions.

And it's only January 5th!  Sheesh. 

I stopped doing resolutions years ago, and instead have turned to a time of reflections.  I reflect on what I liked that I accomplished, what I didn't like, and most importantly how I want to grow as a biz owner and as a mentor and leader.

What I like doing best is diving into the thick of things with YOU, the Real Boss Women community and keeping you motivated and moving forward.  Providing the inspiration for you to determine what holes in your biz you need to plug, and mentoring you through how to plug those holes. 

Every one of you is in a different point of your biz.  From beginner, to CEO.  In this episode I discuss the 3 best ways for you to invest in YOURSELF this year to make it the best year ever.  The year where everything shifts and changes for you.  There are multiple price points, intensity levels, and ways to get involved with our community.  Join 1, or join all 3. There's something on the menu for everyone.

It's the system and steps I take every quarter (yes! I do it every 90 days) and it has given me back the time freedom I needed to stay in my zone of genius, because the topics that used to stress me out are already laid out and ready to go.  

I'll walk you through how to:

1. Pick the right platform
2. Do your research
3. Brain Dump to remember ideas later
4. Create content categories
5. Curate brand albums with photos to use
6. Re-purpose your content into TikTok or Instagram Reels
7. Map it out using my FREE 90 Day Content Creation Planner
8. Use Canva.com to make your life easier!

Pro Tip: If you don't have the time or energy to learn Canva on your own and want my video walk throughs as I discover new and amazing ways to utilize it (seriously I'm like a kid in the candy shop when it comes to creating in Canva) then hop into my online course, which allows you to also join my private Facebook Group for lots of collaboration.   See you there!

Starting a business can be scary both mentally, and on your wallet.  Most entrepreneurs have NO CLUE what it really costs to start up, and struggle to make and maintain a budget in the first 1-3 years.

I recommend getting a small business loan for $10,000 to give you wiggle room to experiment and not stress out, but if that gives you the hives (and that's ok!) then I'm breaking down the 7 biggest things you should spend money on.....and it comes in at right around $3,000.

Not bad my friend!
Here they are, and I'll give more in depth to them in the shownotes on the webpage so head there for more juicy goodness.

1. Forming an LLC, licensing fees and contracts
2.  Kajabi for Email and Marketing
3.  Canva for all kinds of graphic and branding fun
4.  GoDaddy for domain names
5.  Gorgeous Stock Photos and Videos-Social Square
6.  Project Management Platforms like Asana or Monday.com
7.  Must Use Technology like Tailwind

Masterminds, retreats, and conferences are some of my favorite things to attend.  Always be learning is a motto of mine.

This past weekend I sat in on Stacey Brown Randall's Reverse Goal Setting Retreat that she hosts for her group coaching students each year.  While I'm no novice to goal setting, there were a few gold nuggetts I took away from the weekend.

The one that's lastest the longest in my brain is what I'm sharing with you today.  The episode may be short and sweet, but the ramifications of the message are long lasting and meaningful. 

DM me on Instagram, or head to the about me page on my website at www.realbosswomen.com and let's set up a strategy call if your mind is spinning on this too!

Drip campaigns?  Not this girl!   Especially not the boring ones that marketing 'experts' wrote 10 years ago and somehow are still selling in packages today.

Meet my newest bestie, Allie Casazza.  If you haven't heard of her before now all I can say is "You're WELCOME!"

Allie Casazza is on a mission to eradicate the "hot mess mom" stereotype by empowering other women. She has built a massive audience and a multimillion-dollar online business based on her proven, family-oriented approach to minimalism. She is also the host of The Purpose Show, a chart-topping podcast, and the creator of multiple online programs and courses that garner tens of thousands of registrations each time they run.

I could have stayed on the show with Allie for hours, and the two of us align on so many levels.  You know those women in your life who just send sparkles of joy into whatever is going on?  She's that woman. 

Listen in ladies because Allie takes us through the moment in Target where her family was so financially strapped she had to choose between purchasing toothpaste or tampons, to her mindset on starting her business out of desperation.

Growing an empire with 4 babies, and how she personally struggled with the hustle mentality and what it did to her health. 

Allie's story will empower you to get up off the floor (or heck, settle in with a mug of coffee and your fuzzy slippers) and shed the pieces of your business you don't like, lean into the parts that resonate with you and grow it to places you never dreamed of. 
Now, take a moment and share this episode with your bestie.  She'll thank you for it and so will I!  Then drop into my DMs on Instagram @itsjoannebolt and tell me what advice Allie gave that made you jump up and down.  I'm excited to hear it because there are MULTIPLE parts here that I keep going back to myself!

Recession proofing your business is a critical mindset to get into, especially when the economy is slowing down.  I've said for years that a healthy and engaged list (or you may call it a database!) is the #1 thing you can do for yourself in order to create a sustainable business.

From the time I was running sorority recruitment and teaching the members how to keep and maintain a list of potential new members to call when they had available openings, to running a $56 million dollar Real Estate Team  it all came down to our list of  past and potential clients.

Show me your list, and I'll predict your revenue potential.  It's that simple.

So simple it's hard in fact.  I'll wager that 60% or more of my listening audience has a database, and never uses it for more than an address book.  Your customer relationship management (CRM) software sits so lonely at times that it grows mold. 

Now is the time to jump back in, re-engage your list and modernize your email campaigns.  Doing so can-and will!-increase the know, like, and trust factor you have with your subscribers.

Before you jump in and hit send on that next newsletter (omg please don't send out a plain old newsletter.  That's so OLD my friends) you need to lean in and take a hard look at how to avoid the dreaded spam folder.

In today's episode, I dive into 6 of the easiest ways you can take action on RIGHT NOW to not get yourself blacklisted in email land.  This isn't an exhaustive list, but it'll get you off to the races quickly and efficiently.

1.  Delete your unsubscribers (holy cow yes I know this is scary.  The last student I told this to almost hyperventilated on me.  But I promise I don't give you any action items to do that I don't do myself!)
2.  Re-Engage subscribers who haven't opened or clicked an email from you in 6 months or more.  (ahem.  Assuming you've been sending out emails that is...)
3.  Avoid common trigger words
4.  Check your spelling and grammar for goodness sake
5.  Create more clickable emails (my favorite!)
6.  Give subscribers the easy button way out

And then join me at www.realbosswomen.com/listbuilding for an immersive online course on how to build your list bigger and bigger to create sustainability.  You get LIFETIME access to the course (including all updates!) and entrance into the Facebook group where I jump in on the regular to take a look at your work, answer questions, and crowd source with you to get your creative juices flowing.

Today's coaching call I had with 2 of my student's was one that is so juicy, I had to slice off part of it to share with you.

We were discussing a Turkey Giveaway for Thanksgiving, and how to implement this strategy in a way that would build the agent's business.

The students thought I'd share with them a great social media post idea to generate traffic.  Instead I challenged them to dive deeper into the strategy and how it fits into the overall Sales Funnel of their busines.

Sales funnel?  What in the forking shirtballs is that?  Can't we simply toss a post onto Facebook and use it as lead generation? 

It was a valid question to be asked, but the hard answer is "NO".  Not if you want to recession proof your business and build one that is sustainable.  Learning the sales funnel and how to create content to move potential clients through it is as fundamental as knowing how to write up a contract.
Only it's almost never taught.  That's why it's going to be my keynote at the annual Focus Conference next February for The Real Boss Women. 

For now though, check out this bite of information.  I promise you it's juicy....and super relevant to you too.
