There's a lot of talk online about how it's more wise to sell fewer high-ticket offers than it is to try to sell tons of low-ticket ones. But that doesn't really paint the full picture.

Sure the math is what it is, but if you've never confidently sold a higher-priced offer it'll likely feel really awkward and you'll sabotage yourself before you can even get someone to say "yes."

But it's also true that if you're going to sell something lower priced you will have to sell more of them. And with conversion rates it means needing to get your offer in front of a lot more people in order to hit your sales goals.

I wanted to talk about both paths and what you really know so that you can plan ahead and make either work for you. And how you can build out offers you can confidently sell to the right people.

Recently a friend and I were chatting and realized we both assumed we needed a really cool new software for our businesses because it seemed too good to pass up! Has this ever happened to you?

She ended up realizing she didn't need it after she purchased it (luckily it was a monthly subscription she could cancel), but I had thankfully caught myself before I clicked that "Buy Now" button.

What happened was FOMO. Yes, we are all susceptible! And it gets even harder when there's really good marketing for an offer, or something is a hot new trend. (I'm looking at you Clubhouse.)

That's why in this episode I want to showcase how you can spot that you might be falling for FOMO and how to make peace with saying "no" to shiny objects. And why having that big-picture vision paired with simple strategies is so essential to staying on track.

If you're a long-time listener you've definitely heard me talk about "batching" before. It's like the sister to mono-tasking, as opposed to multi-tasking. However, some people struggle to batch their work in a way that works for them.

That's why in this episode I'm going to share my best strategies for making the most of your time and energetic capacity. Because whether you have unlimited time to work or only 10 hours a week, I don't want you to feel like you're always playing "catch up" in your business. Batching is such a powerful way to be consistent in your business, and consistent workflows produce consistent results without so much effort.

You may hear "consistency" and think it means jam-packed days of task after task that you must execute perfectly in order to get results. And if so, it's understandable you'd bristle at the word. And if you have other challenges that can make this type of consistency hard (like chronic illness or young kids at home), it can be easy to feel like there's no hope of ever being consistent. But this isn't how I view consistency at all. Why? Because for me, consistency thrives in the soil of simplicity. Which is why when I'm strategizing for my clients my main goal is to find the simplest plan that's tailor-made to them...so they can implement it and see the results. Not be endlessly busy and overwhelmed. Plus we live in an age where there are so many digital tools that enable you to appear consistent without having to be present 24/7 in your business. In this episode I go over 3 key things I focus on to get traction in my business without having to hustle.

For business owners who want to run more ethical and inclusive businesses that means opening up to learning, listening, and changing. And the work is often uncomfortable, but it's necessary. In 2021 we can no longer pretend we don't know about systemic inequalities. At this point if you aren't doing the work to consciously create a more just, equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist business, then you are choosing to cause more harm. Even if the intent isn't there, the impact is. Entrepreneurs are constantly having to do new things & push themselves out of their comfort zones. This means we can do hard work! And because our businesses give us tremendous opportunities for positive impact, we need to commit to doing what is right for everyone, not just a select few.
