Every once in a while, I go on Instagram and post a question box to ask me anything. The last time I did that, someone asked me this question: if you had to start from 0 again today, what would you do?” Here’s how I’d do it!

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• The 6 primary things I’d do if I were starting over
• The hands down, no questions asked, biggest mistake I made in the first few months of starting my coaching business
• The pivot I’ve made recently in working with new business owners to help them more sustainably start
• The mindset shift that will ultimately shape your reality as you start to make money

It’s relatively obvious that in your business, you both need to market AND you need to sell. How are they different? How are they similar? Is there overlap? Which should you be using when? All excellent questions we’re going to dive into in today’s episode!

To clarify, this audio is also a video training, so I was looking at specific visuals and reference what I’m seeing in several places.

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• The difference between marketing and selling and how they each affect the buying process
• How attraction marketing is it’s own unique type of marketing
• Examples of what selling, marketing, and attraction marketing looks across various types of business
• Creating content that is, above all else, intentional based on what it is you’re trying to do with it

How does someone go from charging $500 for a website to pulling in 5-figures for a single website project? This is what my guest today, Amber Crudup, was able to do, and in fairness, the $500 price WAS the discounted price. (But the reason she created a 75% discount was because she couldn’t sell a $2,000 website!) To reassess and reposition her offer to generate 5-figures per project is really an incredibly transformation, and even if you’re not a web designer yourself, I think you’re going to get a lot out of this episode. 

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• The significance of processes when developing and scaling your business
• Amber’s journey through figuring out work-life harmony, how to be okay with her goals changing, and not being jealous of others’ successes 
• How limiting belief can affect the way you run your business and how to avoid letting the “not knowing” keep you from moving forward
• Amber’s perspective on non-negotiables and how important they are to your business
• Amber’s emphasis on the embodiment of the being when scaling and how who you are being is detrimental to your business

The word “scaling” is thrown around a lot, and I want to talk about what this means and what this looks like if you are a service provider – so if you’re a web designer, copywriter, interior decorator, astrology chart reader, accountant, lawyer, and I’d also add consultant to this list. 

We’re going to be covering the six ways you could scale your business as a service provider, which includes moving to an agency model, outsourcing SOME of the work in more of a mini-agency model, developing a retainer model, going e-commerce by creating a template shop, or transitioning into coaching or course creation. 

I’m also going to go into my perspective on when the right time to make one of these shifts would be, things you need to keep in mind about scaling, and how to not burn yourself out with whatever you choose to do.

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• The six pivots you can make as a service provider to create scalability
• The pros and cons of each model and making intentional decisions based on what you want so you don't burn out
• How to know when it's the right time to start thinking about scaling
• Common misconceptions around scaling you should know
