The Program Design Podcast

Are you working really hard in your online business, but not making the money you want? You may know you have the expertise, but you're not sure how to make your program a repeatable or customizable process for your clients. Maybe your offers or programs have been feeling heavy recently or not aligned with your vision. This is all too common amongst entrepreneurs!

You may even already have an "ideal client" or a clear concept of the type of people you serve in your business, but haven't gotten granular about the type of problem you solve. This is where offer journey design comes in!

In this episode, Lauren discusses her recent breakthrough flying home after a live coaching conference in California. She shares the 3 key components of how to incorporate offer journey design into your business, so you can make more money, feel more confident selling, and get crystal clear on what to include in your programs. The result? Amazing client success stories and an aligned online business where you can do more of what you love and less of what you don't!

If you’re like many entrepreneurs who are also moms, you might have started your business with the intention of having more flexibility in your work week, so you can spend more time with your family.  If you push harder and hustle more, you'll eventually get more freedom to spend more time with them...right?

In this episode, we're joined by Amy Kuphal, a Business Coach who specializes in helping coaches and consultants build online coaching businesses that allow them to work the hours that they choose while earning the income that they desire. She is a fierce advocate for “anti-hustle entrepreneurship” and a super-fan of simplicity, systems, and structures. Amy is on a mission to help coaches reimagine entrepreneurship by opting out of "hustle-culture" and leaning into more rest, play, and joy in business and in life.

If you enjoy systems and streamlining as much as I do, you will love this episode! Amy shares her own experience of unsubscribing from the prevalent business hustle culture when it got in the way of her family life. She offers amazingly simple and practical time-saving strategies you can use to scale your business and implement right away, all without sacrificing your free time, health or relationships.

If you’re like a lot of the entrepreneurs in my community, you may have already achieved a number of goals in your business (when you actually take the time to sit down and acknowledge them!) and you’re working towards your next one- maybe it’s scaling your current program, maybe you’ve tried a number of different things and it’s getting THE offer you want to be known for, or maybe it’s tweaking it so it feels more in alignment with you.

If that’s the case for you, I’m super excited for you to listen to this episode! I think you and I can both agree that what got you here, won’t get you there. In this episode I’ll be sharing the 3 main roadblocks I see that stop us from achieving our next big vision, but I’ve also brought on a guest expert to dive deep into the MINDSET blocks getting in the way as well.

In this episode, I want to show you how to create a new system or structure in your business when you don’t have the time to do it.

Here’s the challenge. Overstretched entrepreneurs may know they need more structure and systems in their business to keep up with day to day demands- like adding a new project management tool, hiring someone new or setting up a new process- but it sounds too time consuming, so they put it off.

Has that ever happened to you?

The issue with this is that they often end up focusing on the “fun” stuff- more sales, more clients, more revenue… But this won’t solve the problem, it will only MAGNIFY it.

Entrepreneurs with freedom of time know that if they create the structure now, it will pay dividends later and that it doesn’t have to be as time consuming as we might think.

In today’s episode, we’ll dive into how to make setting up your next system faster and easier, with 5 easy to implement ideas to get you started!
