The Program Design Podcast

It took me 3 years to launch my course. Are you stuck behind your fears too?

In this episode, I want to share with you why it took me so long to actually create it and how I got past it.

As you may have guessed- it had a lot more to do with my mental blocks than it was about creating the course itself. When I finally decided to do it, I had my first 7 students less than 2 months later!

You’ll hear…

• How to identify what you’re afraid of and how to move past it
• How to stop listening to others and start listening to yourself
• The impact my program had on my clients’ lives… I hope it inspires you to think of the impact you could be making on the world too!

And if you resonate with this episode and want support in creating your next course or online group program, I’d love to support you. Sign up for the Offer Journey Design waitlist and be the first to hear when I open the next round!

In this episode of Align and Inspire, I’ll share three powerful strategies to help you overcome the fear of rejection that may be holding you back- strategies I wish I had known of when I was terrified of launching my first membership 6 years ago!

3. How to address the root of your fear so you can put yourself out there

We talk a lot about sales and marketing as entrepreneurs, but could YOUR relationship with money be what’s holding you back in your business?

In this episode, we’re joined by Joanna Doiban, a wife, mom of 3 boys, and entrepreneur at heart. Joanna is driven by her mission to educate women on wealth activation and money growth, before it's too late. She teaches three pillars of wealth - wealth mindset, money organization and easy-bake-oven “investing” -  to busy women and moms, revolutionizing this male-dominated industry from telling you what to do to educating you on how to utilize money intentionality. Joanna was able to leave a high-paying yet toxic business partnership because she started mastering her money in her teenage years and had a nest egg big enough to bridge the gap to her current career. She hopes to instill the urgency of money mastery to all young women so they will always be supported by money throughout their lives.

In this episode, Joanna shares insightful mindset hacks to help you transform and heal your relationship with money, grow your income and minimize limiting patterns and self-beliefs getting in our way. We’ll discuss the energetic nature of money, channeling your intuition and common mistakes that entrepreneurs make when it comes to your money. We even dive into science-backed visualization techniques, selective attention and the power of our reticular activating system!

In this episode, I want to pull back the curtain and show you my process for creating a brand new offer suite from start to finish- without overcomplicating it and without overthinking it!

Whether you’re building entirely new offers like me, or you’d like to add levels to your existing offers… or maybe just design your signature program, this episode is for you!

You'll hear:

• How to gather feedback and insights directly from clients to shape your programs (instead of creating in a vacuum!)
• How to avoid costly mistakes (like spending months building out courses that don’t sell… or letting “scope creep” get in the way of achieving your goals)
• How to map out a logical "problem flow" sequence of offers
• Tips for designing your next-level program based on clients' goals after your core offer
• The system for selling a "beta" version of a program you haven't built yet

Tune in for a step by step guide on how to build out your own profitable offer suite that truly serves your audience!

Creating systems in your online programs can sometimes feel transactional or overwhelming. You might be worried you won't get an ROI on all the energy you're spending setting them up, or how you can possibly charge someone when you're not directly helping them! However, systems can bring more freedom in your life because the more you can systematize, the more you can focus on the things that REALLY matter.

In this episode, I'll be sharing actionable strategies (even some I learned from my kids and my experience as a teacher!) to help you create systems, bring more people into your programs, get great client results and make an impact without the mindset blocks that might be inadvertently sabotaging your growth. I'll walk through the 3 pillars to create an offer journey that sells and that you can scale easily and efficiently.

A lot of coaches emphasize the need to sell the transformation to our potential clients by sharing topics or deliverables. Even though that is important, your clients might be left wondering how you’ll get them there and whether it’s actually possible for them to achieve that result! If we focus too much on the transformation, our potential clients may feel doubtful they can achieve what they set out to do. That’s why it’s so important for coaches and online experts to be able to succinctly describe HOW they’re going to get their clients results, not just WHAT those results are!

In this episode, we’ll discuss the missing ingredient that could be costing you sales and faster, stronger client results. This shift had a massive impact for me and my own coaching business, as well as my clients and their businesses!

I would love for you to join my brand new workshop called Offer Suites That Sell: How Online Experts Can Map Out Their Programs and Offers the Right Way so They Can Sell With Ease. UPDATE: This will be NOW offered on June 18th, 2024 at 11 am PST (2 pm EST). We’ll discuss how you can create offer suites that sell for you, even if you don’t feel comfortable selling!
