One of the questions I get most in business is ‘How do you actually scale to six figures?’ Hitting that 6 figure mark in your business isn’t as hard as you may think but it’s often the goal that many of my clients come to me with. So today, I go behind the scenes on what I wished I’d known and would have been useful to have in place whilst on my journey to my first 6 figures.

Scaling a business can feel messy if you’re not intentional and I want to bust the myths around having to work so hard pushing for results that you feel so exhausted to actually enjoy your success. Rather than having a big period of growth, it’s actually a lot easier to set these things up whilst on the journey rather than waiting to reach 6 figures.

So, in today’s episode you’ll learn the 6 essentials you need to scale to 6 figures and sustain it - this isn’t about having boom and bust launches, it’s about scaling in an aligned way that allows you to grow in a way that feels good for you.

It’s time to step up into the CEO that you are so that you can be as effective and efficient with the time you do have without having to be in your business all the time.

As a business strategist I make sure that my clients use simple strategies to grow & scale in an aligned way - no cookie cutter approach, it’s tailoring these methods and frameworks to you and your growth aspirations.

Learn more in the new workshop I’ll be running on 6th February which is all about how to scale to sustainable 6 figures - head to sarahcookecoaching.com for more details

A new year brings new goals and a blank canvas of opportunity for you to scale your business.

Knowing what to focus on and understanding key trends will help you be more intentional to elevate your business growth. 

One of the reasons I invest in high level masterminds and mentorship is that I’m part of the conversation. Knowing what’s going on in the industry takes away a lot of the guessing game and means you’ll be inspired, motivated and know what’s going on - this eliminates overwhelm and means you can focus on scaling your business in a way that feels aligned without wasting time.

Stagnation and settling isn’t an option when you want to scale.

In this podcast episode I share 7 key trends that you need to know about in 2023 if you want to elevate your business…and life!

People are over the fake smoke and mirrors tactics of the social media world, the business coaches and “gurus” that sell the dream without giving you the substance of how you can translate this into your business.

Now is your time to thrive and that’s why I’ve gone behind the scenes of what you need to be focussing on right now if you’re serious about scaling. Real things you can focus on that will make a difference to you and your business growth

At this time of year we often reflect on how our year has gone and what lies ahead for us in the coming year - perhaps you start making goals for the new year but the reality is that those goals remain goals unless you take action.

You’ll learn:

A brand is so much more than just a logo! When we consider how we, as individuals, make a purchase, it’s mostly about an emotional connection. Studies have shown that the more a person feels connected with a brand they are more likely to become a long-lasting investor. We also know that 80% of purchase decisions are based on emotion.

I chat to Becky Southall, an expert branding coach, in today’s episode where we discuss how, as business owners, we want to create long-term connections with our audience not just to build a relationship but also from a sales perspective - it’s much easier to sell to someone who already likes, knows and trusts you.

This all comes down to your ideal clients’ perception of you and your business - the emotion that is evoked when seeing and interacting with you, your products and your services. This is where your branding comes in.

You want to attract your dream clients and this is often initiated by how you come across to them - their perception of you is what drives them to taking action.

In this episode you’ll learn

• Why you need to spend time understanding you and your dream client to create an aligned brand
• The importance of colours, typography and imagery as part of your visual identity
• When you may need to rebrand and uplevel yourself 

Being excited by your business often comes from supporting your dream clients. It’s time to step into your inner confidence and know how to create a brand that empowers you to feel proud, attract the right people into your audience whilst also skyrocketing your sales

Now is a great time to be selling - there are opportunities everywhere especially for high ticket offers. Action takers are proactive and wanting to end the year strong and position themselves in readiness for 2023.
