The Robyn Graham Show a Podcast for Christian Women - Become Calm, Confident, and Consistent

What if there was a simple way to reach your business goals with ease, grace, and speed, without relying on social media? 20% of small businesses fail within the 1st year. 50% fail within the first 5 years. There are several reasons for this, but I believe that the primary reasons are 1. A lack of belief and 2. Owners didn't build a solid foundation first. And that is why I created the Purpose to Results™ Academy.

Andrea is a life coach, author, and speaker who felt stuck – "Robyn has a unique perspective that can help you brand yourself and your business. In just four hours, she was able to help me create a brand strategy designed to increase my executive presence, attract the right clients, and grow my business. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to grow their business, develop a proven brand strategy and increase revenue. Thanks to Robyn, I now have a clearer vision of my business and am on my way to achieving greater success than I have in years. Robyn is a coach like no other." I'd like to emphasize that during the VIP Day session, I helped Andrea not only change her beliefs about her business and her unique gifts but to revise her offerings and packages to be able to generate more than $30K in the first couple of months of this year. Now that amount may seem like a lot or a little, but when you have a transformation in your beliefs and change your perspective around your offerings and your ideal clients, the abundance will follow. The sky will be the limit. The VIP Day Andrea purchased was 4 hours for $2500. Imagine the results you can achieve in 10 weeks – a total of 15 hours plus daily access to me for Q and A. . . for the introductory rate of only $1997.

The right sleep can transform your life and business. Sleep is imperative for clarity, consistency, energy, and positivity. When you get the right type and amount of sleep you will achieve more goals and have more success. Sleep is a foundation that supports everything else in our life and business. When you have a bad sleep, how likely are you to show up in your business, or exercise, and how irritable are you? The complications from a lack of sleep Without sleep, your brain doesn't fully recover during the night. The science behind sleep is that you have spinal fluid that will give your brain a bath and clean out the metabolites and toxins you don't need. When you wake up foggy, you most likely didn't get enough brain restorative time. That happens during deep sleep. The other end of the spectrum is time spent dreaming. This phase is the mental restoration needed for mental health. This gives us a balance check for our emotional state. When you have good sleep, you have better clarity, are more creative, can problem-solve, and can read expressions and body language better. These things factor into being a good entrepreneur. Without good sleep, you aren't as productive. Sleep helps you show up and make good decisions to achieve a successful life and business. Read the full blog post and access all links.

Have you avoided writing for your business because you believe you aren't a good writer? Whether you believe yourself to be a good writer or not, following this method you can create compelling copy that converts. To create compelling copy that converts, think about telling a story. Your audience becomes their own here while you are their guide to get to a specific solution. You have a story to tell Every experience you've had has led you to where you are today. You have the expertise and God has placed a calling on your heart to serve others who need the gifts and talents you have garnered on your journey. There are people waiting for you to tell your story so that they can connect with you and build a relationship with you and ultimately hire you to provide the solution they need. Building a Story Brand by Donald Miller Beautiful design for your website means very little unless it's paired with meaningful copy. With meaningful copy, your website can become your biggest marketing tool. Storytelling is an essential part of being your own brand. Copy and SEO Robyn emphasized that you can't have good search engine optimization without good copy. Your copy should have good readability and include the use of keywords and key phrases throughout. In addition, it should be separated by headers and subheaders for readability. The written word connected with beautiful imagery helps you build an emotional connection with your soulmate clients. Include professional images of yourself on your website that help tell the story you are sharing through your copy. Images are also a good opportunity for SEO. How to create compelling copy that converts in five minutes Kris explained that when we've been in our niche for a period of time, we forget that other people don't know what we know. She calls this the curse of knowledge. We may talk over our client's heads or simplify it down to something that doesn't engage them. Kris's method for storytelling can be broken down into three parts. Hero. Every story has a hero with a problem that they don't know how to solve. Guide. Hero's meet a guide that can solve their problem and help them be the hero of their story. You are the guide. Success. The guide provides the hero with a plan that guides them to success. This process is more about inviting your audience into the narrative with you than telling a story. This way they see themselves in the story together with you. This is a helpful process to use to create compelling copy that converts. If your copy makes you the hero, your audience will be less likely to get pulled into the story because they want to be the hero. Read the full show notes and access all links.

Do you consider yourself a leader? Women tend not to own their leadership roles. We are often accidental leaders and forget the experiences we've had that make us a leader. If you are questioning whether you are a leader, look back on all your experiences and how you've led in the past. Maybe your leadership roles began with student government. Maybe being a chairperson of a committee. The role of vulnerability in leadership Doubt, a lack of confidence, and insecurities often prevent us from seeing ourselves as leaders. However, a lack of confidence does not mean you cannot be a leader. There are other assets that contribute to one being a successful leader. Shae suggested that the best thing you can do to model what a successful businessperson looks like, what a leader looks like, is to share these feelings with your team. Let them see the work you are doing to gain more confidence. You are not expected to be infallible or perfect. Vulnerability is where leadership really excels. Robyn emphasized that the more we accept vulnerability, the more we can grow and the better we are able to lead. No one perfect. If you are struggling with perfectionism, delegate being perfect to someone else. Perfect is not in the definition of being a leader Being a leader is not about being perfect, it is about being the point person. Delegate things to others so that you can take care of yourself as a leader. Otherwise, you won't be able to be present as a leader. Myths of what true leadership is Some of the myths of being a strong leader include: You have to be high up in a company Speaking from big stages On a pedestal so to speak You can lead right where you are. It is about having a mindset shift to own your leadership authority. You can lead right where you are and doing so will help you become a better leader as you grow and get to higher levels. How to begin to see yourself as a leader As a leader, you are also a cheerleader. You are acknowledging every win, every milestone, every success along the journey. In addition, you are holding it all together, whether leading your family or leading a team within your business. Celebration is the most underutilized tool in entrepreneurship. Celebrate everything. Don't wait to celebrate once you achieve a big goal. Celebrate throughout the journey to avoid becoming exhausted and burnt out. Shea uses her staircase method when working with her clients.

Do you struggle with knowing where to begin to start and grow a business? If yes, you are not alone. With all of the chaos online, it's easy to get distracted, confused, and discouraged. If you don't know where to begin to start and grow a business follow these strategies. The number one mistake people make when they attempt to start and grow a successful business – is they don't build the foundation first and the result is doubt and confusion. Both result in a lack of confidence and a lack of trust. Build the foundation first Building the foundation doesn't mean starting with social media. Start with creating your personal brand, and then move to the critical strategies provided below. It means starting with the foundational elements, which are: Faith – ask the Lord to be the foundation of everything you do. What feels impossible is possible with him! Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance. Don't wait to begin mindset work. It is important to address negative thoughts of doubt and fear from the beginning. In addition, it's important to avoid distractions because they will induce doubt which leads to confusion, and fear. Here's an example of how your brain will distract you. I had a conversation with a 1:1 client yesterday and she said she was questioning her pricing – she thinks she's charging too much – there is zero proof of this thought. In fact, when we set her packages and pricing she felt confident in them. But one thought drug her into the basement of despair and doubt over her entire business model. You have to trust yourself or you people won't trust you. Start with systems and processes, SOPs, create your package, and set your pricing. This is key if you want to start and grow your business for long-term success. Without systems and processes in place, you will not be able to serve your clients effectively and may lose referral opportunities. This step includes defining your soul mate client. What values and characteristics do you want and need them to have? What do you need them to believe about you and themselves? For example, they are ready to invest time, energy, resources, and money, they believe in your offer, they trust you, and they trust themselves to make decisions. These are all important for creating copy for your website and building trust with your audience. You NEED a website – you do not need social media – start with SEO-ready pages and blog posts – at least three with CTAs. Think about credibility. If someone is using social media to build their business and does not have a website, are you going to trust their credibility? A website is your introduction to the world and it is your opportunity to connect emotionally and build trust. Build your email list. Start with your community – they know you and trust you and are willing to share you with their community. Give them an opportunity to follow you on your new journey or to unsubscribe. Stay front of mind. If you want to start and grow a successful business the key is my success equation, mindset + strategy + action = results. This is the basis of my Purpose to Results™ Method.

Pinterest marketing is an incredible tool that every online business should be using as part of their brand and business growth strategy. It isn't only a DIY resource, it is a powerful tool for search engine optimization for your online business. Pinterest marketing is search engine optimization at its best. Using a Pinterest marketing strategy helps to drive traffic to your website so that you can attract more clients. Where does Pinterest fit into your overarching brand marketing strategy? Kate describes Pinterest as similar to Google and YouTube. It is a content element. People use Pinterest as a place to seek answers to their problems. They do not care about you, they care about the benefit they can find by solving their problem. Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are platforms where people go to get to know you. Think of Pinterest as a bicycle wheel with the spokes going out. You are identifying with cold users who aren't interested in your brand yet, they are interested in what you have to offer. You have to approach Pinterest differently than how you approach Instagram or other social platforms. Pinterest is a long-game approach to brand marketing, like Google and YouTube. You must make the decision to invest in Pinterest for one to two years and the momentum will build like snowballs. Read the full show notes and access all links.
