She's Got This

It's almost the New Year, and for many business owners, that means being in the market for a new business coach or mastermind leader.

It's like the wild, wild, west out there sometimes, isn't it?

With more coaches than you can shake a stick at popping up every day, it can be confusing to know who to trust and what to look for.

For every qualified business coach who walks their talk, there are just as many potential opportunities to get burned.

Take it from an old-timer who's been around awhile. ;)

I believe it's worthwhile to talk about this right now, and it's the topic of this short and sweet episode.

Should you share the good, bad, and ugly in your business? A few years ago I saw a past client at a half day workshop I held in NYC. She pulled me aside and noted how much she appreciated that I was sharing more about the ins and outs of running my business. Then she said: "We all were wondering, is she like a Stepford Wife or something?! Does anything ever go wrong for her or is it all perfect all the time?" I burst out laughing because she was making a really good point! That's when I knew for sure that the transparency I was now bringing into conversations with clients and followers was the right choice. I refer to this as "finding the message in your mess." I'm talking about being boldly YOU, and I'm sharing how you can take steps toward being more real, and more YOU, in this episode.

How does self sabotage relate to business in addition to your life? That can be expressed in one sentence I first heard when I was a new entrepreneur: "Having your own business will bring up ALL your stuff." And it's true. But it's also a huge opportunity.

We all have unconscious, unhealed parts in us that have been playing out in our life. But by doing inner work on yourself you can find these parts and claim and transform them.

But of course, we can have all our values, foundations and boundaries in place and then have to deal with another set of challenges that come from – our "sabotage-self."

I always encourage my clients to explore their healing to find the trauma that causes them to have negative thoughts, shame, over-thinking etc. For me, these shifts made a huge difference in the way my body and brain processed information, and how I handle things in my business.

This episode helps you understand your sabotage-self, what it is, how it operates and how to stop our very human tendency to self-sabotage.

Is it possible to share "social proof" and client successes in social media without sounding like you're boasting?

Maybe you've wanted to, but may have held back for fear of sounding like "that" kind of person.

No one wants to be thought of as boastful, right?

I look at it differently.

People want to progress, to move forward, to enjoy increase.

And the key here is, they want to be involved with people they perceive this of too.

But how do you share how you, your clients, and your business are advancing, without being that social media friend everyone wants to smack?

It's more an art than a science, and in this episode I give you some concrete examples of how to do it.

One of the ways I stand out from other people who do similar things as me is the long track record of results I've helped get for my clients.

Collecting and sharing those results is one of the many systems I have in place in my company, and I'm peeling back the curtain on how we do it in this week's podcast. In today's social world, information travels faster and reaches further than ever, and happy clients and customers are your best, unpaid sales force. People want to see success stories - but do you have amazing testimonials to share with them? This episode shares the keys for getting great testimonials about your products, programs and services, including exactly what to include.

What the F is Intentional Energy Direction?

In a nutshell, it's about how to work smarter, not harder to create what you want, and how to intentionally use energy to MORE than make up for what your marketing might not be doing for you currently.

In this episode, I share the pieces that go into what I now call "intentional energy direction."

Because the truth is, we can manipulate energy to create everything it is we want: income, number of clients, the type of client you call in, relationships, opportunities, EVERYTHING.

Yes, we need to market if we're in business, but having this 90% foundation as the energetic place where you are coming from changes the whole game.

There is an art to pricing and packaging with confidence in your business.

The goal of this episode is to help you see the value in what you're bringing to your clients. You want to set your prices at their true value, and begin allowing yourself to believe that you are ready to receive significant amounts of money... because you are.

You deserve to be paid very well for your skills and for the transformation you create.

I'm sharing 4 typical packaging models for coaching and service businesses and how to price them as well, to show you what's really possible.

In this episode, I share what I did specifically to move from a dollars for hours model, to creating more leverage so I could reach many more people in my business.

I also give you 4 different ways to start sketching out your own signature offer or process, and what to make sure to include.

If you're ready to get out of trading time for money, scale your services, and make a greater impact in the world with your work, this episode has you covered.

If you consistently struggle with making decisions, it can show up as laziness, self-created obstacles, perfectionism, and procrastination… just for starters. Notice where this may be happening for you.

The idea is to make fast decisions and course correct as you go.

In this episode I share a 5 step process for making smart decisions while also tapping into your intuition.

We are constantly having inner conversations, regardless if we are fully present for them or we're letting the conversation run wild intentionally.

You create your life with your own inner conversations, because what you're doing is suggesting to yourself what you'll do, what you'll think, what you'll feel.

This is why it is so worth it to observe them, because they are literally creating your future. This episode gives you ideas for how to use these conversations to change the course of your life and business.
