  • 161 | 8 Ways I've Been Able To Work Less & Make More $

    How you can work less but make more: Today we unpack 8 ways to be more efficient + effective...

    but first,

    Special Announcement: I'm hosting a sales & business bootcamp for 5-10 qualified coaches. I will be hand selecting those of you who I think really "have the sauce," This is not for the average person. This is for those of you who want to see massive growth. It's fully free. You pay with your time + energy. DM me this emoji if you're interested: 💥

    -

    8 WAYS TO WORK LESS + MAKE MORE:

    1 | Time Blocking — I spend about zero minutes per day wondering what I’m supposed to be working on. If you don’t have a color coded, hour by hour calendar, which shows you not just what to do each day, but how long those tasks will take, and how much flexibility you have… it’s time.

    My system is simple.

    2 | Outsourcing tasks…

    you’ve probably heard this talked about before, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve convinced yourself that you’re not far enough in your business to outsource. that you really can handle it. that no, asking for help is a sign of weakness, and really, i got this.

    sister, let me stop you right there. if you’re saying those things, you’re convincing yourself + if you’re convincing, that probably means something else is true.

    it’s time to audit how you’re spending your time.

    outsource the lowest paying hours.

    3 | prioritizing quality AND quantity and not half-assing it

    we know that POSTING, ENGAGING, SENDING DMs, ATTENDING DISCOVERY & SALES CALLS… all generate cash. They deserve your energy + best effort

    we end up doing MORE work when we half-ass things.

    4 | my DM software

    Here is the flood your calendar course: https://stan.store/maximumpotency/p/flood-your-calendar-course-get-hot-leads

    DM me the word 'Zac' if you want the details for the software

    5 | get intentional

    if you dont know where you’re going, any road will get you there.

    knowing whats important + whats not in this season is HUGE.

    theres a giant gap between busy and effective.

    we’re going for effective here fam.

    figure out what is a driver;

    what drives income?

    what drives joy?
    what drives sales?
    what creates energy?

    prioritize that stuff.

    6 | switching from purely 1:1 to 1 to many focus.

    serving group clients rather than all 1:1s, has freed me up from being on zoom 30 hours a week + gotten it down to ~12 zoom calls/week.

    7 | creating a cirriculum that serves my clients while i play

    they have their roadmap.

    they have every tool at their disposal.
    they have about 40 worksheets and 200 videos that they self pace through between calls.
    that’s all well laid out with the digital infrastructure necessary for me to not have to facilitate sh*t.
    it’s amazing.


    8 | seep.

    yeah. this might sound weird. but tired lyssa = slow lyssa and getting that extra hour of sleep keeps me efficient and sharp so that again, my work is more potent and faster.


    don't forget to dm me if you're interested in the sales bootcamp and would like to be considered.

    • 159 | 14 things you can do to increase sales conversions in your business, even with the 2023 US economy

      What’s up fam! We are BACK for Episode 159! Today we dive in to some things you can do to increase your conversions; leave no stone unturned, and commit to excellence in your business.

      First things first, go back to your idea client.

      1. Develop Buyer Personas: Create detailed profiles of your target audience. write a day in the life.
      2. Conduct Market Research: Have 10 conversations with your ideal client and ask them your burning questions.
      3. Make sure your offer makes your ideal client’s success inevitable. I back up all my work with a guarantee, and provide more deliverables than I see ANY OTHER coach providing in the coaching space, period. I make sure that my ideal clients really have no logical reason to say no; and it’s more a matter of if they’re ready to show up + do the work.
      4. create extended payment plans + different tiers to empower buyers.
      5. Share success stories often + make a highlight reel called “client wins” on your IG profile
      6. Give free value often. The more freebies you have, the more opportunities for connection, the better.
      7. Practice consensual sales. never pitch to someone if they haven’t said they definitely want the details.
      8. Do a 2-call close. One call to get clear on needs. Another to sell. Especially if you’re selling 1;1.
      9. Create more content. Whatever your posting schedule is, completely change it up. Do you normally do reels? Do posts. Normally do posts? do reels. Never go live? Go live. Show up on stories? show up less. Switch it up.
      10. Talk to more people. Track all your leads. Follow up with all your leads 3x. Use the lead tracker I give you inside 24HBB.
      11. Do a podcast tour. Go get in front of new eyeballs. Pitch yourself to podcast hosts.
      12. Utilize multiple platforms, and make sure you have long-form content.
      13. utilize email marketing: rotate out your freebies, build a list, and email them 1x per week. it is worth it. i promise.
      14. come to every sales call with a custom blueprint for your client. it is so personal. it does so well. they will be impressed.
      15. GENERAL PRACTICES

        1. Always use a Clear Call-to-Action
        2. Follow Up with Leads: Implement a consistent follow-up system to engage with potential clients who have expressed interest but haven't made a purchase yet.
        3. Remember, understanding your ideal client + CONNECTING with them is key. Keep rippin’ on life! See you in next weeks episode on clear-decision making + priorities with my good friend and client, GMK.

        5. 157 | Things I Did To Have A $72K Month: How To Successfully Launch A New Offer To Your Audience As An Online Coach

          in today's episode, we'll be diving into the topic of LAUNCHING.

          FIRST OFF: what is launching?

          Launching, in the context of online coaching, refers to the process of introducing and promoting a new coaching program, course, service, or product to your audience.

          This is where we want to create buzz, generate excitement, and of course, drive sales to your offering to attract and convert those potential clients that have been hanging out on your page.

          This is typically a “doors open” and “doors close” type of thing, as opposed to rolling enrollment. We want to make a BIG DEAL + see that cash-injection and influx of clients into our business.


          LAUNCH PHASES:

          The launch sequence usually involves a pre-launch phase, which I call the TEASER period — where we tease + build anticipation.

          The actual launch — where we have the doors open, enrollment + sales calls are happening, and it’s “all hands on deck” type of vibes. This is where you might be working longer days, pumping out more content, and getting on way more calls than usual…

          & then our post-launch or wind-down phase, where we sell a smaller offer (downsell) or do one last round of follow up.

          After our launch, and no one normally talks about this, we want to make sure we have lots of lifestyle content; easy-to-consume content, and showing up as more of a friend/bestie than a salesperson.

          If you sell to your audience too much, they tend to tune out, so these periods of focusing on storytelling, engagement, and being a real human, are super important!


          RECOMMENDED LAUNCH LENGTH: 2-3 weeks of active enrollment; so a full launch cycle would be 3-4 weeks.

          PREP: I personally have written an entire launch plan in one (14 hour) day, but I don’t recommend it. I think taking 2-3 weeks to prepare and write all your content ahead of time is super smart. Give yourself a breather between prep + actual launch, do some self-care, and come to that launch READY.


          Before you write your launch, make sure these are crystal clear:

          [ ] your exact target audience, clear as day, you should be able to talk about him/her for 3 minutes without stopping.

          [ ] clarity on exactly what your coaching delivers, how it solves your IC’s problem, and why it’s unique.

          If those two are at all shaky, you need to go back to market research.

          Also, get clear on sales goals:

          Minimum Goal: ex, 6 students
          Safe Goal: ex, 8 students
          Stretch Goal: 10+ students
          Upper Limit: 12 students.


          So the TEASER PERIOD…

          We want to make 1-2 posts and 2-3 days on stories where we talk about the fact that we are opening up spots, who it’s for, etc.

          First 1/3:

          Sell THE VIBE / THE EMOTION.

          Talk about WHY they’d want to do this. Speak to the emotional buyers.

          Second 2/3:

          Sell The Tangibles: Sell the HOW. Sell the PROCESS.

          Sell to your logical buyers

          ANSWER the tangible questions.

          On stories: FAQ boxes, slide decks, here’s what you get… etc.

          Third 3/3:

          Create FOMO, urgency, and give pep talks. Ruffle feathers. Address Objections.

          We want CLEAR call to actions.

          Wind-Down:

          • X students have already enrolled
          • POP QUIZ! Is NAME RIGHT FOR YOU?
          • WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? LOCKING UP SHOP. WE ARE GOING WITH OR WITHOUT YOU.
          • THROUGHOUT YOUR LAUNCH:

            • Personalized Follow Up
            • Keeping track of applications, calls booked, page views, etc.
            • Share social proof
            • Shoutout anyone who joins
            • POST LAUNCH:

              • content wise, we want to go back to being SUPER human, be their bestie, dont sell anything for at least two weeks (unless you’re doing a downsell for 3-5 days).
              • lifestyle lifestyle lifestyle
              • INTERNALLY POST LAUNCH:

                evaluate..

                what went well? what didn’t? did you hit your KPIs?

                what was the conversion rate?

                how many spots did you sell vs pitch?
                did you see a lull or a spike at any point?
                did people take you up on fast action bonuses?
                do you feel your pricing is spot on?
                will you change anything about your offer for the next round?

              • 155 | 5 Things I Scheduled In For Q3 & Q4 As An Online Coach Who Is On Track To Do $500k In Sales This Year

                Let’s Reflect on Q1 and Q2

                • what went well?
                • did your efforts pay off?
                • what took too much of your time? what energized you? what drained you?
                • what lessons did you learn?
                • Set Clear Goals for Q3 and Q4

                  • YOU MUST know where you are going for the remaining quarters.
                  • so think about this… next july, what do you want to be true?
                  • write that down
                  • feel into that
                  • solidify it into something measure-able + let’s get to work.

                    • THE FIVE THINGS:

                      #1: Audit your current offerings. What’s doing well?

                      What’s making you the most money?

                      What’s taking the most of your time?

                      What are you enjoying the most?

                      what do you need to add? take away? maintain?


                      #2: Promotion Periods + Enrollments

                      I put those dates on the calendar. I know exactly when we re-open 24 hour business builder, I know exactly when our course drops, I know exactly which days I’ll be pushing the reels membership. Put those dates down + make content accordingly!


                      #3: Sales Goals

                      know exactly how many students you want to take through your programs + exactly how many pitches you need to do.If you go through 24 hour business builder, you’ll know this too. We set DIALED in KPIs; but for right now, here’s something simple… if you know you want to sign 10 clients, and you know you close 1 in 3 calls, you can then say that you need to book 30 sales calls between now and the end of the year.

                      We’ve got systems that help us track those numbers and make sure we’re on it. It’s not a mystery. I promise.


                      #4: Collaborations

                      Who do you want to collaborate with?

                      What podcasts do you want to put out?
                      What projects will you team up on?


                      #5: Self Care & Time Off

                      I already know when I’m taking a day off. I know which days I’m not taking calls. I know which days I’m not even going to be in my DMs. To get clear on this, look at your launches, collaborations, and sales goals + figure out when you might need the time to rest, play, or recharge. I booked massages for both my launch weeks. I have my birthday plans. I have the dates blocked out where I’m going to be moving/out of office, right? Plan accordingly. Make your business fit your life, not the other way around!

                      Reminder: FYC (Flood Your Calendar, Our Newest Course) is on pre-sale july 1-5!

                    • Monday Mini 4: Developing A Millionaire Money Mindset - Habits & Practices For Generating Wealth - PT 4: Gratitude, Giving & Developing Confidence

                      Welcome back to the fourth and final episode of "Millionaire Money Mindset" --


                      Principle #7: Gratitude and Giving — when you are grateful, the likeliness of you not only being in the energy of abundance, but also attracting even more opportunity, cash, and overflow is exponentially higher.

                      In addition to being grateful, realizing that you have more than enough and actually giving away some of that overflow is POWERFUL.

                      You can give back to causes, make an impact, or fund someone’s surgery, christmas, or whatever you see a need for.

                      Using money to make a positive impact in someone’s life makes it all worth it.

                      Principle #8: Developing radical self-belief and confidence in yourself, your abilities, your systems.

                      trusting your instincts.

                      voting with your dollars.

                      you can’t outsource this type of financial peace. it has to be yours.


                      If it made a difference to you, please share it with a friend.

                      See you on wednesday for a full length episode!

                      Stay stoked.

                      Principle #5: Persistence and Resilience:

                      • Understand that wealth-building is a long-term goal, a long game, and requires lots of time and effort.
                        • Persistent Pursuit is required.
                          • Reframe every one of your goals as inevitable.
                            • Reframe every one of your challenges and setbacks as boot camp for success.
                              • See obstacles as opportunities to learn, grow, push forward.
                              • Principle #6: strategic networking and creating value.

                                • Your network is your net worth.
                                • Create relationships not only with potential clients but with other high performing humans in your field, or in fields analogous to yours.
                                • Surround yourself with goal slayers. or STPs… shit together people as i like to say.
                                • Actively cultivate a network of successful individuals.
                                • Seek out mentors, Advisors, A colorful counsel.
                                • Understand that real wealth comes from solving someone else’s problem. aka adding value.
                                • We have one more monday episode dropping this month! Stay tuned for that.
