Simplify Your Business, Amplify Your Life

Do you ever sometimes wish you could read people’s minds, so you would know exactly what your ideal clients REALLY want and would pay top dollar for?

If you could read their mind you would have those answers, and would be able to position yourself in such a way that your ideal clients would line up to work with you!!

How awesome would that be?

Unfortunately, we can’t read minds, but I can give you the next best thing ... that's what I'm covering in today's episode.

Are YOU actually ready to be a SUCCESSFUL coach?

Your business should support the life you want, not strain it, right?

And you shouldn’t have to give up what matters most to you in life to have a successful business, right?

But recently I realized that I actually did give up a lot to get where I am today, but not necessarily in the way you might think.

For you to be as successful as you want to be, there may need to be some things you’ll need to give up too.

Let me share some of those things I needed to give up …

Are YOU actually ready to be a SUCCESSFUL coach?

I realize this is not the most sexy topic to talk about, but I think it really needs to be discussed.

These last few weeks I have been thinking a lot about the online space and pressures new entrepreneurs and solo entrepreneurs can feel to earn big bucks really fast.

Social media posts are screaming to let them show you how you can make $100k in your first month just like they did. I’m always curious what the backstory is around these posts. Anyway …

These kinds of posts create pressures in the minds of new entrepreneurs and solo entrepreneurs because - yes - they need the money … and good grief who wouldn’t want to make $100k in your first month?

But, I think it's also because they want to prove to people that they’ve made it. They want to prove themselves in the industry and show that they are worth it and deserving of the 5,10,20,100k weeks/months, whatever.

Sometimes what we need is less than we think and we can still have an unbelievable lifestyle.

Back in the first episode I mentioned our first daughter was born terminally ill.  She was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome). Her name was Jessica.

Without getting too science-y on you, I want to explain what Trisomy 18 is, share our story, and tell you why I’m talking about it on today’s episode.

Waitlist for CLIENTS, CASH & FREEDOM course. (2-22-22)

Being on the waitlist DOES NOT obligate you to purchase or join any program, but it just may give you some specials to take advantage of if you decide to.

You may have seen my social media post last week on 2-2-22 where I made my last post for my business and said good-bye to social media, but I wanted to talk about it on this podcast as well.

I’m going to be transparent - like I always am - this was hard for me to do even though it wasn’t aligning with me.

As you know, anytime you shift and do things differently, your ego shows up and starts making you question yourself.

Once I made the decision and hit the publish button, I had a wonderful sense of relief.  I didn’t feel addicted anymore.  I felt free, I felt back in charge of my business and the best part was that I didn’t have the stress and overwhelming feeling of needing to make a post or create a story.

I’m sharing in this episode my reason for leaving social media.

Let’s dive in …

PS - There have been times in my business where I wish I could reach out to a mentor and ask for some guidance/advice/question without a monetary transaction.

So, I want to invite you to schedule a FREE 20-minute virtual coffee with me and get the guidance or advice that you are needing at the moment.

I see a lot of coaches struggle with the idea of choosing a niche and narrowing it down.

And I get it. It feels counterintuitive to focus on fewer community or audience members.

Seth Godin has written several books on effective marketing, including the importance of narrowing your niche.

I was reading an article he had written and I want to share an excerpt from that article:

He says that the Minimum Viable Audience - a term he coined - is the smallest group that could possibly sustain you in your work.

We usually think that we need to reach thousands or millions of people to have a profitable business. However, that will probably lead us to create an average product for average people.

If we really want to impact other people’s lives, we need to find our minimum viable audience.

When we create real value for other people is when we can have a profitable business.

Seth Godin also says to focus on the audience’s dreams, worldviews, and energy.

If you could pick the members of this audience, who would you choose?

If you could pick them and needed to delight them (something that causes happiness) because you had no one else available, would your product or service improve?

If you had no choice but to ignore the naysayers (they’re not in the group) or the people who don’t think they need you or your work, would that force you to stop compromising and start excelling?

Focus on finding your minimum viable audience (your niche) and creating value for them.

Instead of being bigger, focus on being better. As you do that, you will achieve profitability.

Two things happen when you delight  or cause happiness in your minimum viable audience:

Let's dive in with some action steps to help you narrow down your niche.

P.A.T.H. To Your Uniqueness and Value Articulator Statement Formula

Waitlist for CLIENTS, CASH & FREEDOM course.  Launching February 22, 2022

The subject line of this episode is 'Crocheting + A Book List + Boundaries' and you're probably thinking - what the heck does this have to do with business?  Well stick with me and I’ll show you …

When I first got into crocheting, it was really fun.

I'd find a project I wanted to work on, buy the yarn for it, and get to it.

Then, I started buying yarn without a plan of how to use it. I bought it because I liked the yarn.

Before I knew it, I had beautiful yarn coming out my ears with no plans for any of it.

At first, it felt amazing.

But after a while, it became a burden because I'd look at all the yarn and get overwhelmed. I had

W A Y  too many choices.

This has happened to me a few times in the real world — mainly with books and other hobbies.

It's also happened in the digital world.

In fact, I started a trello list of all the books that I  "want to read," and there is a ridiculous amount of books on the list.  Not to mention the ridiculous amount of books I’ve already purchased but haven't read yet.

My original idea for the list was to help me keep track of what books to read next.

But a list of 300 books on it is completely unusable, especially without a plan.

Putting boundaries around areas that cause overwhelm is so important.

So, let's talk about that ... 

PS - The waitlist is now open for my NEW course - Clients, Cash & Freedom:  The roadmap to building profit, simplifying your business and enjoying a lifestyle with more freedom.  Don’t wait to get on this list.

Let's be honest, everyone wants to know the fastest path to building their business.

When I talk to potential clients, it's the #1 question I get.

When I poll my audience, it's the #1 requested content topic.

Heck, it was MY big burning question when I first started out, too...

Where can I find an abundance of new leads who will show up on my calendar, ready to hire me?

That's why I want to share my tried and true methods with you. Ones that you might not think about because everyone says you HAVE to be on IG or FB.

You deserve to have a thriving business, and I don't believe these ideas should be kept a secret!

In my opinion, putting these ideas or methods into action means loads of credibility, cash flow, and happy clients!
