  • 5 Brain Hacks to Get Stuff Done in Your Online Business

    I've been obsessed with learning about the science of productivity lately and how to "hack" my own brain to do the things I find tedious. So I thought I'd share the productivity combo that is working really well for me to get work done on my business.

    WHY FOCUS ON FOCUSING?

    I know this sounds crazy for someone who has built and grown an online business for well over a decade... but I really DO NOT LIKE sitting and working at my computer!

    Let's face it though, writing a post like this, communicating with an assistant to delegate tasks, writing sales letters and emails, social media posts, reviewing and giving feedback on client work etc are all things you need to do to run and market a business online.

    I'd love to hear any tips you have to add to my list. If I like it I just might add it to my experiment and share the results in another few weeks on a follow-up podcast episode.

  • The Launch Strategy That Creates Loyalty - A 36-Year Experiment

    So what does a successful launch strategy have to do with romance?

    Quite a lot as you'll see in today's podcast episode with a twist. 🙂

    Today I take you behind the scenes of the ritual my husband, Doug, and I have practiced every year (for 36 years!) to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The ritual is fun, cheeky and follows the same process every year.

    It occurred to me today that the process is exactly the same 4 step strategy for every successful launch you may run in your business.

    Introducing... how to build trust, excitement and loyalty in your business with the "wedding anniversary ritual strategy".

    In this episode you'll learn:

    • Why, in 34 of our 36 years of marriage we have never bought each other presents, flowers, cards or booked a fancy dinner for our wedding anniversary.
    • The fun ritual we developed instead and I hope you may be insired to copy (if you do, send me photos. Not naughty ones of course.)
    • The 4 step process you can use for every launch, no matter if it uses videos, webinars, workshops, challenges or any other strategy.
    • The essential phases, how long each should last, and how to build loyalty and trust at each phase.
    • Plus I've included over on the podcast page, a photo of our wedding day (how hot is my husband?)
    • I'd love to hear your ah ha's, both for your launches and your romantic relationships.

      Cheers!

      Janet

      • Biz Lessons from Massaging in My Bikini

        I have a fun story for you this week about my very first successful business venture when I was 21.

        The business?

        Giving massages on the beach in my bikini!

        In this 30 minute episode I share:

        • Why I started this unusual side-gig when I already had a full-time job as a registered nurse (spoiler: I spent the rent money clubbing with my future husband - again).
        • How I created an "irresistible offer" and identified the best customers so I raised the rent money in just a few hours (and had extra to, you guessed it, party the next night - again).
        • What I changed on Day 2 that compounded my income (and is exactly what I teach my clients to do).
        • 3 things that threatened the biz (hello Police Officer) and risk planning for your own business.
        • How this launched my side-gig massage clinic I ran for 20 years!
        • How to apply each success step to your own online biz (no bikinis needed).
        • I'd love to hear YOUR first business venture. Success or not, I love hearing stories of people who have an idea, face the fear and have a go!

          So please share.

        • Four Questions to Define Freedom

          Hey!

          If you’re like most entrepreneurs you started your business for freedom.

          Even if that freedom is “I’ll never have to answer to a boss again”.

          But how clear are you on exactly what freedom looks like for you and how to design your business so you won’t feel trapped.

          I cover:

          1. 4 questions you need to ask yourself for clarity.

          2. Examples of how surfing, nesting, school holidays and introversion changed the ways different clients and myself design our businesses.

          3. How automating too much can lead to depression if you don’t have clarity on Question #4.

          4. Examples of people who had done everything right but they could never seem to succeed and the one thing they changed that flipped the switch (Question #3).

          I’d love to hear your definition of success.

        • What’s Working Well?

          FLIP YOUR FOCUS TO FIX YOUR BUSINESS

           

          So often we focus on what is not working in our businesses.

          Then all our activity (or just stress) goes into finding ways to fix the weaknesses.

          But it can be really hard to think creatively about how to do things differently.

           

          So here's a brain reframe for you:

          This is a question I ask my clients when they need a way to look at things differently.

           

          What IS working well in your business?

          Or even extend it to What is working well in my LIFE?

           

          Then look at WHY?

          The challenge is, can you apply what works so well in one area of your biz/life and adapt it for the area you need to improve?

        • Personal Brand, Biz Brand or Course Brand?

          When you build a website for your online, service-based business, the first decision you need to make is what website address you will choose (a.k.a. URL, or Domain Name). After all, this is is the link you will use in all your marketing, your conversations and your emails. It will also determine your brand logos, colours and how you think and feel about your business.

          No pressure! In this episode I walk you through the decision pros and cons of 4 different options and some ideas to mix and match if the decision seems impossible to make.

          I've also included a quick summary below for you.

          4 Brand Options

          In this episode I'm going to start with a few assumptions.

          Firstly I'm going to assume you are either an existing or future customer of mine.

          This means:

          • You are in a service based business (so you don't sell widgets via e-commerce)
          • You know who your ideal client is
          • You have, or are in the process of developing, a Flagship Framework so you can help clients get great results either working with them personally, or in a 1 to many program or course

          • If you haven't made the above decisions yet, then only one of the options below is a sensible thing for you choose (Personal Name). Otherwise you're wasting your time and resources, and very likely will need to renovate your brand when you get greater clarity.

            If you need help, my Attract Your Tribe Academy has been designed specifically for you.

            Personal Brand

            This is your name. If you can't get your name as a URL (like www.janetbeckers.com) then try something like YourNameCoach.com or YourNameAuthor.com or similar.

            Pros:

            • Always grab your name if you can get it. You never know if you want to use it in the future
            • Instant authority
            • If your courses and services feature you as the authority, this can work well
            • If you change your offerings or expand your market, you don't need to start a new website
            • Cons:

              • If you are multi-passionate, you may want to have multiple brands over time and you may feel restricted only using your name for your business
              • You need to sell YOU on your website, not just your solution

              • Mix and Match:


                You can always own your name Domain Name and when your business website is complete, redirect your www.YourName.com to your About Me page on your new website.

                Existing Business Brand

                If you already have a business with a website or even just a name you have been using for quite a while you may want to use this. For example something like www.YourSuburbCounselling.com or www.GenericUmbrellaServices.com.

                Pros:

                • If your business name is well known and people will search for it online, then this is already an asset
                • If the name relates closely to your niche and / or Flagship Framework then this is an easier option to use
                • Cons:

                  • If it's too general, it can be a waste of a branding opportunity and the other options will be better

                  • Mix and Match:


                    You can always own your existing business name Domain Name and when your business website is complete, redirect your www.YourGeneralExistingBusinessName.com to your Contact page or a specific business information page on your new website.

                    Your Niche / Ideal Client Name Brand

                    If you work with people in a specific niche or who have a specific problem you can claim a domain with that title in it. For example www.BounceBackFromBreastCancer.com or www.MoneyMindsetSolutions or similar.com.

                    Pros:

                    • Claim leadership in that space

                    • Identity Goals. I Found The Missing Step!

                      How many times have you set yourself a great goal for your business (like build a million dollar business, or launch a podcast etc ) and the not achieved it?

                      Maybe you've even planned out exactly how you're going to do it, even set timelines, how to measure etc (hello SMART Goals).

                      And still never quite reached your goal?It's frustrating, humiliating and it makes it even harder to set another goals because, let's face it, history shows you're going to fail anyway (am I mind-reading?).

                      But then, other people have set the same goals as you and *some* of them actually achieve it!What did they do differently?

                      That's the topic of today's podcast.

                      Now of course, this is a huge topic but I reckon I've found a huge missing piece of the puzzle this week.

                      It's called "Identity Goals" and I'm been testing the concept in my own life this week and it's really working.

                      So this is what I share on the podcast today:

                      • Why traditional goal setting doesn't usually get results (and what it is perfect for instead)
                      • What are Identity Goals (big shout out to James Clear and Atomic Habits)
                      • 3 steps to create Identity Goals for your business and personal goals
                      • What MY Identity Goals are and how I've been testing them
                      • ONE QUESTION to ask yourself multiple times per day that is a total game-changer
                      • The current Identity Mantra I chant to myself while doing laps and the result
                      • An action plan you can implement this week
                      • How the concept of Scarecited can help you nail this whole achieving stuff thing!
                      • Love to hear what YOUR Identity Goals are.

                      • The Rule of One in Your Biz - And Lifting Heavy Things

                        Today I share business lessons I've learnt from my personal health quest "to have endless energy".

                        A few months ago I noticed by "little nanna naps" of an afternoon were no longer so little!

                        Plus, I could feel my mojo dropping, my weight climbing and my normally high energy levels, starting to tank.

                        Enough!

                        Something had to change and, like any big goal, I knew I had to approach this in a systematic way.

                        Not surprisingly, the process for abundance in health is very, very similar to the process for abundance in business.

                        That's what I'm sharing with you today.

                        I knew it was time to share my lesson with you when on 4 different occasions this week, completely unrelated people comments "wow, you're looking great. Really healthy".

                        Oh, and instead of long naps every afternoon, I have so much energy I'm dancing in the office to very loud music (Florence and The Machine is my favourite at the moment).

                        In today's podcast episode I share:

                        • The "big why" for health goals and business goals and how to identify yours
                        • How to choose the best mentor for you to reach your specific goal
                        • The action plan and how to measure success (biz and health)
                        • Why I lift heavy things!
                        • The essential mindset changes (and challenges)
                        • The Rule of One in your biz - and what to apply it to.
                        • How form, reps and weights apply to your business.
                        • Scarecited challenge for you.
                        • I would so love to hear from you. What ah-ha's do you have from today's episode?

                        • Tribe Spotlight: How Natasha McGrath Sold Out Her 1st Program With No Website and No Email List

                          If you find anything techy a huge roadblock to your success online and you can't imagine how to sell out a brand new, high-ticket program with very little tech at all... then you are going to love today's podcast interview.

                          And if you work closely 1 to 1 with people in such a personal way (hello anyone working with mental or spiritual health) and you can't see how you can possibly convert what you do into an online group program that genuinely gets results for your clients (and, ahem, also you) then you are going to love this interview even more.

                          In this week's episode of Romance Your Tribe Podcast, we're shining the spotlight on Attract Your Tribe Academy and Accelerator member, Natasha McGrath.

                          Plus, we have great action steps for you to do this week to grow your own online freedom business.

                          We talk about…

                          • The pressure to keep working more hours when you have a waiting list of oncology and mental health clients who really need your help
                          • The process Natasha used to identify what sets her apart as an expert in her industry that she never realised she had (and a great story of the moment she realised she knew more than the people she holds in greatest esteem)
                          • How she narrowed down her most Profitable Avatar and the powerful Transformational Promise she can give as a result.
                          • How a group program gets BETTER results for clients that a 1 to 1 model.
                          • The EXACT strategy Natasha used to get the most influential people in her industry to enthusiastically recommend her program (BEFORE it was even launched).
                          • The challenge of pricing a "beta" program and how Natasha moved from fear to confidence in her pricing (from $150 per hour to a $3K offer.
                          • How Natasha sold out her first program
                          • Techy stuff - how a self confessed technophobe launched the really low-tech way successfully.
                          • The huge changes Natasha has made in her life since launching her first online group program and the freedom she is experiencing now.
                          • The next steps to scale a successful offer
