The Soulful Business Show™ with Cailen Ascher

Last week I hosted a live webinar where I laid out the simple way to create 6-figure success and covered two things that often trip entrepreneurs up as they go for their first $100K year.

In case you missed it, I'm sharing a highlight of that rockin' masterclass so you, too, can benefit from what I shared...and avoid these 2 stumbling blocks!

If you have 6-figures on the brain for this year, tune in now to hear my best strategies for making $100K (or more!) while working just 3 days a week.

With love, Cailen

P.S. My Uplifted Mastermind™ has a few spots left for women who want to streamline + optimize their offers and grow to 6-figures THIS YEAR. If you're interested, click here to learn more.

I know you're probably anxious to "shake off" 2020 and start fresh in the new year, but before we do that, I always think it's a good idea to look back at the year that was.

Oh, 2020. Where did you come from?!

This year brought us a global pandemic, revealed the depth to which systemic racism permeates our country and had us at the edge of our seats with a nail-biting election — which in the end felt like a huge sigh of relief — and a sign, for me at least, that circumstances WILL get better, and we're once again moving in a positive direction.

That's what 2020 brought us as a whole, but I know that if you dig into it a bit, this year also brought you rich learnings and unexpected wonders and probably heartache too...and it was ALL in service of your growth.

Instead of pushing all that aside and jumping into 2021, let's look at this year one final time. Together. So we can clearly see what we learned and where we want to go next.

You ready?

Grab your favorite journal, and give yourself 15 or 20min to reflect on the following questions:

The first thing I want you to consider is…

What happened this year that I am proud of?

Then, ask yourself…

What did I learn this year?

And lastly…

What am I willing to let go of?

After you do that, I would love for you to share your top takeaway with me inside the 3-Day Workweek Facebook Group.

With love, Cailen

In the season of celebrating, I wanted to take a moment today to celebrate some of the amazing wins my Uplifted Mastermind™ members are experiencing — despite all that 2020 has thrown at them.

These women said YES to investing in themselves and their dreams despite a global pandemic, a hair-pulling election, school shutdowns and limitations placed on their businesses like studio closures. In the midst of all that, they committed to forward motion and took the steps necessary to plant the seeds for growth.

And now, they have A LOT to celebrate :-)

Launching is a b*tch.

There I said it, but I know you were thinking it, too.

If you've been in business a couple of years, chances are you've launched something, and it totally flopped. Like complete crickets. And, it sucks.

How do I know that?

Because I've been there, too.

I remember back in June 2015 I had this idea to launch a high-end coaching offer that would give women the support they needed to close the year better than they had started. I was so excited about this offer. I could feel how awesome it was.

I mapped out the features + benefits, ran a challenge, wrote tons of sales emails, even hopped on the phone with some amazing ladies only to enroll ZERO women.

I felt like a total failure. I felt ashamed. I honestly felt like something was wrong with me.

I've come a long way since that flopped launch, but I wanted to share that story with you today to let you know that not everything you do has to be a success for YOU to be a success.

I've had lots of flops and failures throughout the years -- all successful people do! -- and I've learned something valuable from each and every one. And, I now share all these learnings with my community, students and clients to help them avoid some of those same obstacles.

When I think back to that flopped launch, I see now how under-prepared I was, but at the time, I didn't even realize it!

I wanted to make money, I had an idea of what I wanted to offer, and then I haphazardly threw together strategies that I had absorbed from a bunch of different places (many of which I had used before without stellar results).

That's not how it works, as I see very clearly now.

In order to break through the income plateau that you're on, it takes more than just "tweaking" what you were doing before. It takes more than just hoping for different results.

You need to majorly UPLEVEL.

You need to upgrade your mindset, your strategies, your peer group and your mentors.

This is what it took for me to move beyond my flopped launches into consistent 6-figure success, and it's what has worked for the last 4 cohorts of my Uplifted Mastermind.

A flopped launch isn't inherently "bad". You can learn a lot. But this is definitely "learning the hard way". (If you like that way, power to you, but it's not for me.)

There's also ANOTHER WAY of learning those valuable lessons. It takes an investment of time, energy and, yes, money, but in the end it's much smoother, and you get quicker (and bigger!) results.

This is the path that I have now taken, and it's the path that my masterminders have chosen as well. To be honest, this is the path that I see ALL successful women take.

This path is for women who are 100% committed to creating 6-figure success on their terms. It's for bold action takers. It's for women who are DONE with make-it-up-as-you-go launches and want step-by-step strategies, proven processes and high-level support to grow their business quickly and easily.

If that's YOU, I invite you to check out my Uplifted Mastermind.

We have just opened enrollment for our Winter 2021 cohort and are looking for 12 amazing ladies to join us.

I have a post-it note on my computer that says, "You can't get to where you want to go by being who you've always been."

It's there as a daily reminder for me to reach for more, to move out of my comfort zone and maintain a growth mindset every step of the way.

It's so easy to say you want a 3-day workweek or a 6-figure business or to finally hire a VA, but it's another thing entirely to make the necessary moves to draw those things closer to you.

I believe 100% that life is for us and wants us to succeed. But I also believe that we need to TAKE ACTION to activate that support.

We can't just say we want the things we want (and get sad/frustrated/annoyed when it doesn't show up). And, we can't just do the same old stuff we did before and *hope* for different results.

We need to take BOLD ACTION.

The women of my Uplifted Mastermind are all about bold action and making their dreams a reality. In fact one of our members is now averaging $10K months just 60 days after joining. That's a 3x-4x revenue increase for her, and it did NOT happen by accident.

This amazing growth unlocked for her because she invested in herself, prioritized her mindset and took aligned action.

If you're ready to go after what you want, but aren't sure where to start, I always suggest with your MINDSET.

Listen to today's podcast where I talk about what it really takes to align yourself with 6-figure success. It'll give you a mindset boost and hopefully also give you the confidence to go after what you really want.

After you listen, if you feel ready to take a BOLD STEP toward making your biggest dreams a reality, click here to add your name to the waitlist for the next cohort of my Uplifted Mastermind. We start in 2021.

With love, Cailen

P.S. Stop doing the same old stuff that's NOT WORKING, and learn what it really takes to uplevel to CEO so you can create 6-figure success with ease. Add your name to the waitlist, and you'll be the first to know when application calls for my Uplifted Mastermind open next week.

Today, I am giving you a year by year breakdown of my business growth.

The reason being, I've noticed that so many women want to jump ahead on their business success journey and bypass important learnings and phases of growth.

I figured if I gave you a look at where I started (way back in 2008), how I have invested in myself to grow my business to 6-figures and what offers I was selling each step of the way to achieve that, it would help you make the most of where you are right now and get clear on where you're going.

If you've hit a $2000-$3000 a month income plateau that you can't move past and want to scale your business to 6-figures in 2021, take time to listen to this podcast TODAY. You'll be so glad that you did.

And, as you listen, remember that where you are right now is perfect and necessary on YOUR journey to success. It's the starting place for ANYWHERE you want to go.

With love, Cailen

P.S. I am looking for 10 women who want to stop acting like a scrappy solopreneur and uplevel to CEO to join me inside my Uplifted Mastermind™ in 2021. If that's you, add your name to the waitlist, and you'll be the first to know when applications open soon.

I want to let you in on a secret.

Success isn't luck or magic or happenstance.

Success is a decision.

Every year I'm in business, I become more certain of this.

People who decide to succeed and show-up for that decision every day enjoy amazing success.

People who don't believe success is possible for them create that reality for themselves.

It's really that simple. (Not always easy, but simple for sure.)

All month long, we're going to be talking about what it takes to Uplevel to CEO in your business. If you're tired of acting like a scrappy solopreneur and ready to finally get off that income plateau that you've been on for longer than you'd like to admit, you're in for a treat.

Today on the podcast I'm sharing with you a very special highlight from a virtual retreat I recently held for the women of my Uplifted Mastermind™. This mastermind is specifically designed for more established business owners who are making at least $2000/month and are ready to do the necessary work (both mindset-wise and business-wise) to scale their business to 6-figures with ease and time freedom.

What you'll hear today is a CEO Mindset Boost pep talk that I gave to them, and I want to share it with you today because many of the members told me it has made a profound impact on their mindset and the certainty they now feel as they boldly step up in their businesses.

I hope it helps you too.

With love, Cailen

P.S. Are you interested in being a part of the Winter 2021 round of my Uplifted Mastermind™? This mastermind is for women who are making at least $2K per month and want to stop acting like a scrappy solopreneur and uplevel to CEO.

Did you know that there's a magical "Success Trifecta" that most new entrepreneurs unknowingly skip right over? And, when you have it in place, achieving your dreams becomes sooo much easier — nearly inevitable!

That's right. There are 3 key foundational pieces that ALL entrepreneurs need to have in place in order to get on track with their biggest goals, but most of the time new business owners are so focused on trying to get clients + make money that they totally miss this.

Don't get me wrong, making money and getting clients is super important, but they don't happen (or at least not easily) until the "Success Trifecta" is in place.

Tune into this week's podcast to learn all about the "Success Trifecta" and the key foundational pieces that you NEED to have in place in order to set yourself up for success now and in the future.

With love,Cailen

You know what's kind of funny?

We start our businesses because we want freedom to make our own schedule, to do work we love and to create a life that's awesome, but usually somewhere along the way, we find ourselves frustrated, confused and spinning our wheels thinking...

I WISH SOMEONE WOULD JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

If you're in that place, I completely understand. I remember hitting that moment in my own business. I had spent 7 years trying to figure it out on my own, and it clearly wasn't working. I felt I had 2 choices: either give up or get a plan. As you could have guessed, I chose the latter, and the best place I could think of to get that plan was from a successful woman with a thriving business and values similar to mine. (Perhaps I can be that person for you? ::wink::)

It was the absolute best decision I had ever made for my business, because I no longer felt lost and confused! Instead I felt focused and confident and on track — which by the way is the energy that draws success to you :-)

After working with that coach and creating a clear plan, I had a $32,000 launch of my signature offer (it was way more than I had made in the entire previous year!). And then I went on to cross the 6-figure mark just 8 months later.

That is the power of a step-by-step plan.

And that is what I'm offering to you. FOR FREE.

Tomorrow, October 15th, I'm hosting a brand new workshop:

Create Your {Success Made Simple} Action PlanThursday, October 15th at 2pm ET / 11am PT / 12pm MT / 1pm CT / 6pm GMT

During the workshop, you'll learn...

• Why I almost gave up on my business + what changed that made all the difference
• The 3 Pillars of Success (and the order you need to build them in)
• The exact steps to take to start + grow a successful business while working just 15 hours a week
• How to set + attain your biggest goals (even if you've fallen short in the past)
• The vital role that vision + mindset play in creating success on your terms
• What simple actions other new entrepreneurs are taking that are landing them their first clients + making them their first $1K, $3K and $5K+ in business!

After the workshop, you'll leave with…

• A personal action plan that outlines the precise next 3 steps you need to take in order to lay the foundation for long term success
• Feeling totally inspired, confident + clear about the absolute right next moves to make for you and your business

If you wish someone would just give you the step-by-step of what it takes to build a successful business, it's coming your way TOMORROW!

Save your seat here :-)

Can't wait to reveal the steps to you!
