The CEO Shift with Leanne Meiser

Can you believe it's the last Friday of the month?

Today we're going to chat about a strategy you can implement to evaluate your process and make November your best month yet!

One thing I'm finding lately in a lot of my conversations is that people don't like setting goals. I'm going to challenge you to create a goal but not tie your success solely to that goal. If you don't reach it, it doesn't mean you failed, it means we need to tweak your process along the way. Here is how we do that:

1. First, celebrate what went well along the way to your goal. Get specific.

2.  Second, what didn't go well? Get factual.

3. Third, what do we want to do differently next month?

This is a high-level overview of what I dive into with my 1:1 clients - how can we get you better results with the same amount of effort? I would love to help! Schedule your free consult call with me today by using this link and follow along over on IG @leannemeiser for more helpful tips!

I've been really thinking about the goal we set at the beginning of the month to sign 4 new people to your team, and what might be holding you back from reaching that goal. 

One thing that came to mind is that you might be struggling with the confidence that you can help the people joining your team reach their goals.

A lot of this comes down to overthinking and overcomplicating. But really your main job is to be their mentor. 

And how incredible is it that you have this gift of a business that someone can do from their phone, on a schedule that works for them! 

You also get to decide what type of person joins your team - are they resourceful, want to build a business, and work well together? When you bring on people like that, you don't have to worry about making sure they succeed (they will figure it out) but instead you get to work WITH them. 

  Of course, you still need to help them so let's dive into how you do that:

Remember, you're limiting yourself on singing people to your team because you're letting self-doubt get in the way. This topic is usually something I would cover with my 1:1 clients but I thought it was important to share it with you too! If you'd like to learn more and dive deeper, use this link to schedule a 1:1 call with me! And of course, don't forget to follow along on IG @leannemeiser where I share daily tips.  

I hope you are loving our focus this month of signing 4 new business builders! 

We are halfway through the month so I thought it would be good to check-in. Maybe you haven't signed your new business builders yet. Don't panic - the goal of this challenge is to help you create processes that when implemented, have you signing 4 new business builders EVERY month (this isn't a one-time thing). 

 As I was preparing for this podcast I realized that when someone tells you they want more info, that's where you might be getting stuck. I know a lot of people have teams that have created a recording or a webpage for people to go to when they have questions. But I'm going to share my take on why I think it's important to sometimes recreate the wheel. 

First, it's so important to understand what questions she has from the start. There's nothing worse than spending a ton of time crafting the perfect response when you don't even know what SHE needs to know to make her decision. We also need to be careful of information overload which can sometimes come from sending them to a recording. With this method, they might come back and say they aren't interested but we don't know where we lost them. Last, if you only offer a standard call, that might not work with their schedule and immediately they are out.

So what do you do to provide more info to someone that is interested in knowing more? Start with asking questions:

Some questions they might have are:

(Bonus! These questions can all be content that you post about on your page.)

With my clients, we work through all of this but then we take it a step further and dive into overcoming objections. If that's something you are looking for then use this link to schedule a free 1:1 call so we can see if working together is a good fit! Follow along over on IG and DM me @leannemeiser if you have specific questions! 

Welcome back! As promised, we are spending this month focusing on helping you sign 4 new business builders.

Today we are going to dive deeper into what you are selling - hint, if you want to add business builders, you have to stop selling the business as a hobby. 

Start by taking inventory of your current team. You might think that no one wants to build, but without more information, that's only your own thought and can lead to you not helping them. To combat this, write out everyone's name and then reach out to them to see how they are and ask what their goals are. Dive deeper with them and get curious. If they aren't seeing the success they want, ask them what they think is preventing that and really listen.

The next step is to think about who you want on your team. For example, I work with women that want to grow a dependable and consistent income and are committed to their goals. Who do you want to add to your team? Shift your messaging to talk to that person. This will not only help you find your people, but it'll also help you step into your role as a confident leader.

Your people are out there and they are ready to join you! Use this link to book a free 1:1 call so we can dive into the specifics of your business and get you recruiting 4 new business builders this month!

Today we are talking all about our October goals and surprise, I set a goal for you!

In October you are going to recruit 4 new members -YAY! All of my October content here on the podcast, on my IG page, emails, etc. will be focused on helping you reach this goal. 

Did your brain take a pause when you heard that - maybe you started to think of all the reasons you can't do it? Take 5 minutes to write out all your thoughts around this. Let your brain run wild...

Now, let's start thinking about all the tasks that need to happen for you to sign 4 team members in October. I'll break this down into 5 high-level categories:

1. Someone needs to know about the opportunity - invite them or they reach out to you

2. They need the info about the business

3. Address their objections/concerns

4. They say yes or no

5. You get them started

Diving deeper into these categories, I advise my clients to build their content so people reach out to them - but this means you have to post and share about the business opportunity. Next, they need the info. You can share this in many different ways - be sure you ask them what questions they have so you can point them in the right direction. This leads to addressing their objections/concerns. Note that this does not mean you are convincing them - the goal should be to get to a yes or a no, depending on if it's a good fit for them. If it's a yes then the next step is having a process for getting them started!

By signing 1 new team member each week in October you'll reach your goal of 4 new people for the month. If you start to see you aren't hitting that weekly goal, take a step back and evaluate your process. And of course, one of the biggest challenges you might face is the belief that this is possible for you. Changing your mindset is the key to building and growing your business. 

If you knew without a doubt you'd sign 4 team members in October, how would you show up? Now, go show up as her!

Be sure to let me know if you're up for this challenge - DM me over on IG @leannemeiser and follow along as I share resources and recruiting tips! Also, every week I send out an email so if you'd like to be added to that for even more helpful info, message me and I'll add you!

There's been a common theme coming up during my conversations with my clients this week when we're are talking about their goals - "I don't know how to do that." 

Our brains are wired to search our past for proof that we've done something before, and if we don't have that it quickly goes to the thought that we can't do it. I'm going to share a few strategies to help you overcome this doubt.

1. Look to others that are doing what you want to do - if they can do it so can you!

2. Go into your back office and look for proof that you've reached this goal before, even if it's not in the same timeframe you want to reach it now.

3. Tap this quote where you can see it as a constant reminder: "I won't know how until after I do it" - Brig Johnson 

I'm big on sharing strategies, but it's your mindset that will get you to your goal.  When I'm on my 1:1 client calls I'm always listening for those thoughts that might be holding you back. Once we know what the thought is we can solve for it. If you've been struggling with your mindset and want someone in your corner to help you move past that, let's connect!

Today we are chatting all about reels and diving into the messaging behind them. One trending reel in particular that I've seen going around a lot has me thinking about the true message some of these reels convey.  

Before you share your next reel, ask yourself "how does this make me feel and how will it make my next customer/team member feel?" If the response is that it doesn't encourage you or makes you feel yucky, you might reconsider it. 

The reel I heard recently that didn't sit well with me talks about the need to support your friends like you support celebrities. While I am all for supporting friends and women in network marketing, this reel felt accusatory and placed the success of someone's business in the hands of their friends and family.

When we break it down, I don't believe the intention of the message was to accuse but rather to encourage those we love to trust us in the same way they do other big businesses. Although we might recognize this, others that see us post it might be turned off or even offended. 

As a consumer myself, I tend to purchase from people when I have a problem and I see them sharing the solution. That's why my style of coaching is to have you figure out someone's problem and share the solution through your content. And something always playing in my mind is "it's not about me, it's about them."

When we look at business this way it's so much more fun and we're showing future team members that they too can be successful!

If this episode resonated with you I'd absolutely love it if you'd leave a quick review or share it with a friend! And as always, I'd love to connect with you over on Instagram @leannemeiser! 

Now that we are getting back into routines with school starting, I thought it was the perfect time to chat about managing your business time!

The first step to doing this is recognizing you have an actual business. After you identify your business as a business, you can start making the appropriate time for it.

The three things I see happen most with network marketers are: 

1. They don't make the time for their business.

2. They make the time but don't know what to do.

3. They make the time, and know what to do, but don't stick to it.

Today we unpack how to solve each of these, and I share about utilizing a "time budget" which I use in my business. I'll share how I structure my business to help give you some ideas.

I always start with a planner and the one I've been loving is by Ink and Volt (linked below). On my calendar, I start with personal responsibilities and then I add in business hours. Next, identify the work that you'll do during your business hours (tip - the work you do should move you closer to your business goals). Finally, it's time to make sure you stick to your calendar. A great way to do this is to pick a day that you can make things up if needed. For me it's Fridays. That is the day where if I missed something throughout the week I can make it up.

As your coach, we review your 6-month business goals, look at your calendar and add the daily tasks that you'll need to do to make those goals happen. I would love to help you!

If you follow me on Instagram @leannemeiser you saw that I was in a three-day Master Mind last week, and today I'm sharing three lessons I learned while participating in that!

A quick backstory. We've been preparing for this Master Mind since April. They were all-day, intense sessions, and to be honest, I was working through some imposter syndrome before we started. Rather than let that paralyze me, I kept reminding myself that I earned my spot and I was worthy of being in there. I am so glad I followed through because now I can sit here today and share these lessons with you!

1. Lesson #1: Identify three areas of your business you want to focus on/problems to solve for

Example for your business:

- Adding new customers - learn how to post about the product in a way she can connect with

2. Lesson #2: Commit to your goal!

- And just in case you need it, I BELIEVE IN YOU!

3. Lesson #3: "Everyone wants me to win" - changing my thoughts from competition to everyone wanting me to win

- If you think about it in that way, you'll view feedback in a new way and grow.

Bonus Tip: With so many amazing people working together and supporting each other the world can truly be transformed!

This episode is a follow-up to a previous episode about posting from her perspective. We dive into the "model" which is the tool I am certified in and help my clients use to grow their business: Neutral Circumstance -> Thoughts -> Feelings -> Action (taken from feeling) = Results

You are able to post from her perspective because you've probably felt the same feelings she's feeling regarding a particular circumstance. Have you ever gotten a message that sounds like, "It's like you are in my head"? Obviously, you can't read her mind but you can relate to her, and when you post from her perspective you'll start to see more people reaching out to you that are ready to buy/join your team!

Let's look at your business as an example using the Model (in the correct way):

-> Neutral Circumstance = Your Business

-> Thought = I'd like a bigger business

-> Feeling = Determined or Curious

-> Action = Utilize Posting Strategy 

-> Result = Connect with more people and business growth

If you haven't seen these results, I encourage you to look at your model. Are you jumping ahead and putting the action where the circumstance should be? I'll include a PDF here that you can print!

I absolutely love working with my clients using this model because there is so much opportunity! We work together to insure the feelings you have lead to the actions you need to take in order to see the growth you want. 

You are a business builder and although checklists can help you stay on task, you need to remember why you are showing up - to build a thriving business, not just complete the checklist. With my coaching, we use the model to post from her perspective and build a business YOU love!
