ReWild Your Business

 I’m joined this week by the fabulous Sam Flynn. Sam is a digital wellbeing coach, trainer and speaker, who helps her clients improve their relationship with the digital world. She also works with businesses on improving their digital culture.

Sam’s own addiction to her smartphone and research into why this happens, along with a background in Business Psychology led Sam into a career as a digital wellbeing coach.

Far from decrying the use of social media, Sam has also, for the last 12 years, been a social media trainer… she’s all about managing your social media effectively without spending more time than you have to on it.

I promise you, after listening to this episode you’re going to be thinking long and hard about how often that phone is in your hand!

This week I'm deep diving into the Masterminds - what a mastermind is, what it isn't and whether it's the right next step for you and your business.

As transformational coaches and changemakers who are outstanding at 'our thing', the frustration of not being where we want to be in our business is real. When your revenue isn't commensurate with your reputation, and you're lacking the clarity and accountability to bring your wildest vision to life, it can be tough to believe you'll ever step into who you truly are and have the impact you're destined to have. 

Not everyone is ready for a mastermind. But for those who are, nothing else comes close to delivering the confidence, clarity, and grit needed to become a thought leader in the space where you belong.

My upcoming mastermind, RISE Together, is for you if you know deep down that on some level you're still playing small.

It's for you if you're beyond ready for your revenue to match your reputation.

This is for you if you need, at a soul level, to get your message out there to those who need to hear it.

This week I'm joined by one of my precious private clients, Alicia Rodriguez. The challenge with this conversation was to pick which stories/teachings/insights to share because, honestly, Alicia is incredible. Her stories are captivating and her message is enchanting.

We talk about the immersive experiences Alicia offers where clients spent time 1:1 with her, against the stunning backdrop of the Algarve in Portugal. These are so much more than retreats - as Alicia explains, it's a 'full-bodied experience'. Women bring Alicia their most burning, existential questions and via her honed intuition and imagination, she curates their time together to get get these women the MOST transformational results.

Listen in to Alicia's story of coming to understand that her life is her work, and how the space she holds for her clients allows them to redefine their success and gain clarity around what they really desire.

Alicia believes everything is energy and when we learn how to balance our feminine and masculine energy, we become truly limitless.

WooHoo!!! It's our birthday... one whole year of putting our heads together! That's right, 52 episodes... we didn't miss a week!

Our serial takeover host, Rebecca Gunter, well, takes over today, and interviews me about the relentless commitment I've shown to get an episode of Heads Together out to you every week.

We talk about overcoming my film-flaming tendencies while still resisting being bullied into consistency - it has to feel right. I pick connection over consistency every time.

I admit to the nerves & imposter syndrome I had a year ago as I put out that first episode and Rebecca helps me see and celebrate my ability to make smart decisions and take action in spite of fear.

Starting Heads Together was one of the best business decisions I've ever made, and I'm beyond excited for what year 2 will look like...

I also have some VERY EXCITING NEWS this week...

Applications are now OPEN for RISE Together - my 6-month, intimate mastermind for coaches and other changemakers that delivers the support you need to create the impact you're destined for.

This week I'm joined on the Heads Together podcast by the captivating Tamzin Merivale.

Tamzin is an artist and writer who has always been inspired by the women in her world. Women whose energy and inspirational natures light up a room, yet still, they can't see that for themselves.

She offers portraits to women that are a visual representation of their true essence and of their story. She shows them their magic and their presence. It is a portrait not of the person they show the world, but of the much more dazzling truth of who they are.

Tamzin also has a Substack newsletter called 'Resurface'. Her reflections give readers tools to gain a deeper understanding and acceptance of themselves and to live with a sense of freedom.

Some topics that were discussed include:

1. 
   

   How refreshing Substack is as a platform for empathic women who hate the craziness of social media

   
   


2. 
   

   The magic of teasing a woman's story from her and giving her the words to share that story with the world

   
   


3. 
   

   How to plug the energy drains in your life.

   
   


4. 
   

   How learning to receive is the life-changing key to embracing your own magic.

In this week's episode of The Heads Together podcast, I'm talking about my belief that having a high-ticket offer in your business is the key to success for you AND your clients. I'm diving into why that is, and what I class as a high-ticket offer.

Of course, there's the no-brainer that you don't need to sell as many high-ticket offers to hit your revenue goals.

But the most compelling reason is the difference it makes to the results your client gets, and the knock-on effect THAT has on your business.

Let's Socialise:

LinkedIn

Instagram

If you sell a high-ticket, high-value service/offer, then mastering the art of true relationship marketing will change everything. You’ll no longer feel overwhelmed by the draw to be posting right, left, and center, with fingers crossed that your dream clients with feel magnetized to you.

You are not, and never will be a magnet.

Building relationships online isn’t so different from real life. If you were at an in-person networking event, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t walk up to someone, thrust your business card under their nose, and shout ‘Do you want me to coach you?’.

Yet every time someone sends me a connection request on LinkedIn or a cold DM on Instagram, with an ‘I do X for people like you. Do you want X? Will you pay me for X?’ it honestly feels like someone shouting in my face!

So how do we use social media to build relationships instead of followers?

1. Stop making it all about you.

We spend all that time working on who our ideal client avatar is, their preferences, their pain points, their desires, their secret dreams, their biggest fears, and what they eat for dinner on the second Tuesday of the month…

Then we tend to completely ignore all of that and get back to telling everyone about what we do.

What if you redirected your content back to what you know about your ideal clients, and focussed on showing instead of telling.

Demonstrate your understanding of what they want and need by sharing value that either addresses a pain point you know they have, or illuminates the way towards what they desire.

Of course, I’m not suggesting you never share information about what you do, but it should probably be less often than you think.

2. Stop being disingenuous

Do you go on liking sprees? Have you ever hit like without even reading the caption to the post? Do you put the bare minimum emoji comments and consider your ‘engagement for the day’ box ticked? Sorry - not good enough. If you want to build relationships, then you need to get super intentional about your engagement. Make a ‘like’ from you mean something. Comment thoughtfully, and authentically, sharing your actual opinions. THAT’S relationship-building stuff.

3. Stop needing reciprocation

Leave the floor - the dance with insanity is over. No more liking content just to get liked back. Reward great content generously, without expectation. Cheerlead your clients and prospective clients. Support your peers and tell those that inspire you, well, tell them just that - they’re inspiring!

4. Stop trying to go too far on the first date

I know you want to stand out, I know you want to grab that prospective client’s attention. I know you want them to know what you can do for them, but trust me, no one finds desperate attractive. Sorry. Diving into the DMs as soon as you connect with someone… on a scale of 1-10, how much do you love it when someone does it to you? Yeah thought so. It’s pants. Stop doing it. Stop rushing. Flirt in the feed for a while. The right time to move the conversation offline, or into messages WILL reveal itself. Be patient.

Above all else, treat people on social media the way you would offline. Be someone you’d want a deeper connection with.

As business owners, we’re terrified of taking time out, of not showing up, of breaking our consistency streak, but the truth is we’re doing no one any favors by pushing through and trying to ‘keep calm and carry on’ when we're sick.

Your clients deserve you to show up with your 'A' game - so you owe it to them to take time ou, rest, recover and then return.

In this week's episode I'm talking about the link between how we feel about taking unexpected time out and our abundance vs scarcity mindset.
