Traci explains and discusses the 6 steps that your company should revolve around. She also explains why they’re so important to have within your company in order to be able to make it successful.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Really understand your client’s problems. This is really the core of your whole company because this is what makes your business up.

What pain is that pain causing your potential and current clients? Understanding this is going to enable you to communicate it to your clients effectively as well as giving you a greater understanding of your clients yourself.

How does that pain make them act out? This will help you gain knowledge on how this problem is making them feel which you can then understand their emotions that are involved with this issue.

Understand where that problem is going to take them. Where will the problem end up? Let them know of the worst case scenario so they understand that if they don’t get help they are aware of how they could end up.

What’s the solution that you’re providing? How can you help them stop with the pain they’re feeling towards this problem that they’re having?

What triumph will they get from you solving their problem? Let them know the best case scenario once their problem is solved and how great it will make them feel and be.

These will all help with your marketing and sales. Concentrate the majority on step one because this is the core and foundation.

Of course there will be more things along side but these are the core steps that should be followed.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Follow the pain cycle all the way through to the worst scenario’

‘You can follow this system for all of your marketing messages’

ABOUT THE HOST

Traci Cornelius is a Speaker, Business Coach, Mindset Coach and Mum to 5 Girls.

Like many, Traci’s story is not really a succinct one. It is long with many twists and turns (which I liken to business and life itself!).  Many of the twists and turns have helped me to learn, to grow and to become a successful entrepreneur.

On a professional level, she runs many businesses.

On a personal level, she is a Mum to five wonderful, adorable, courageous, independent and challenging girls.

“I discovered exactly where I had gone wrong in my previous businesses.  Everything I had been through, the good the bad and the ugly started to come together into the best discovery of all the “5 Power Principles”

I implemented them, first in my business and then in others and so they then became the “5 Power Principles” that other people wanted to know about!”

In today's episode, Traci discusses your ‘why’. What are the key thoughts that go through the head of many 'wanna be' & 'would-be' business owners;

 

I just want to be home with my family

This dead-end job is going nowhere

I can’t wait to get away from this awful job

I am tired of working all hours and every holiday

I know I am worth more than this

 

Whilst these thoughts are great at motivating you to start; they’re not great at inspiring you to grow and improve. They won’t inspire you to increase your skills and make your business thrive. To do that, you have to identify the real ‘why’ behind what you do.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are a number of different ‘Why’s’;

Passionate Why’s. Some business owners are passionate about a subject; whilst others are passionate about markets. With a true passion for your field, it can be a really strong motivator.  Whichever passion-based type business owner you are, learning to harness that passion will really help to take your business to the next level

 

Financial Why’s. Maybe you want to retire at 40 and travel the globe, love fast cars and dream of exotic vehicles. Whatever your big dream; you knew you’d never make it whilst putting in time at the day job. The truth is, there’s nothing wrong with wanting financial fulfilment. Money is a necessary tool; the more we have, the easier life is and it is nothing to be ashamed of.

 

Philanthropic Why’s. Plenty of online business start with the intention of finding a way to give more and give back. If you have a heart for a cause; a philanthropic Why might be the driving force that takes your business to the next level. If money were no object, what would you do?

How negative self talk can destroy your financial future

 

I’ve never been good with money

I hate budgets

I’ll never be a six-figure earner

My market won’t pay premium prices.

 

If you have ever said these statements (in thought or out loud) then you are engaging in a damaging habit known as ‘negative self-talk’.

 

Listen in to todays short about how these lies (yes, they are lies!) you may be telling yourself are self-fulfilling and holding you back.

 

“What you visualise and believe is really what comes true…”

Traci Gets it! She sees it all the time; The solo-preneur who does it all themself. Traci was also in this position, so listen in to this episode quickly for something you need to hear.

The feeling and sense of pride from doing it all yourself comes with a toll of burnout and frustration. Some solo-preneurs are letting a scarcity mindset prevent them from taking steps and making the investments that will have a massive impact on their business. And maybe you are too.

Here are the 3 things you MUST consider to avoid this;

1. Outsourcing- is it too expensive? Or is it actually a cost-saving exercise in delegating your own time.

2.Automation- Too many entrepreneurs fail to recognise the benefits of true automation. Stop ‘making do’ with a pieced-together system, you’re spending money and time when you could be updating your tools and systems to save you time, which will save you money.

3.Coaching- There will come a time when your growth will flatline, this is the time to invest in coaching. Even coaches have coaches!

Traci is in conversation with fellow entrepreneur and business coach Anna Parker-Naples, a best-selling author  who has the number 3 I Tunes entrepreneur podcast with ‘Entrepreneurs Get Visible’ 

 As a business coach, she helps creatives to get visible so they have more impact and are able to move forward towards success understanding how, why and where to get visible. 

Her story is a powerful one, 3 years ago, Anna was standing on the red carpet in Hollywood because she had  completely transformed her life after being told  she should not expect to walk again as a result of a condition she developed during pregnancy. 

‘I was trained in NLP but I knew that I had more to give, I had risen to the top of my profession but I had taken an incredible journey to get there and my success was very much down to the strategy I used’ find out more about Anna’s journey and achievements in this inspiring podcast episode. 

  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

10 years ago, I was told to not expect to walk again as a result of a condition I developed during pregnancy. 

If you are not visible you are not doing your marketing properly, nobody can know what you’re about, you cannot build referrals and connections if you are not visible. 

You need to be seen 

You need to be heard 

You need to be remembered 

We want to connect and people who are authentic are more appealing. 

Being you and showing up not entirely polished is attractive to others they can identify with it. 

I work with neuro  linguistic planning helping people to identify the events or moment when they formed a particular self-limiting belief. 

By recognising where the thought originated we can review the decision we made then and look at changing it from a self-limiting belief to something positive. 

Habitually our brains have been running the same neural pathways for many years. 

Its training your brain to see the world in a different way. 

As an entrepreneur, you have to have the self-belief to move beyond other people’s limiting beliefs. 

I genuinely feel that if I’m out there then I’m showing other people that they could be there too. 

Workout what your blocks are. 

Craft your own story. 

Know what you do, who you help and why you do it.   

  

BEST MOMENTS 

‘I help people to work these elements together and develop their confidence’ 

‘When the book launched it went straight  to number one across 11 categories’ 

‘We are expansive beings if we allow ourselves to be’ 

‘You have to recognise what your inner critical voice is saying’

This week sees Traci collaborating with business strategist, growth expert and fellow podcaster, Gavin Preston of The Business Mastermind Podcast.

 

Gavin and Traci discuss visibility and how important it is in scaling and growing your business; the rights and wrongs, their personal definition of what it means to achieve visibility, the importance of authenticity, and much more…

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

Gavin feels that his malaise caused by the efforts of contemporaries to “stay visible” has affected the way he drives his own visibility. Traci believes this was caused not by what these people were saying, but how they were saying it.

 

Everything you do is a conversation. A speech on stage is a conversation between a speaker and the audience. A live video is a conversation between speakers and their subscribers. Alarm bells ring when the persona off-stage does not match the one on-stage.

 

Authenticity comes when we truly discern our business’s purpose, and are able to communicate that passionately and honestly.

 

When you can become an unapologetic version of yourself, it releases all pretensions and stress, and all that is left is the will and desire to serve.

 

Visibility is about being seen. But further than that, it is the act of becoming so seen, and so identified with your chosen niche, that you are perceived as an expert.

 

To increase visibility, Traci recommends Live Videos, pre-recorded videos, such as YouTube content, podcasting, public speaking, networking events. Ultimately, every opportunity should be taken to place yourself in front of people.

 

Increasing visibility is important, but it should never obstruct the ways in which you make your income. A strategy that may help is to create content back-to-back.

 

Work out what’s stopping you in terms of visibility. Work out the pain cycle. Recognise that it doesn’t have to be perfect. Perfection doesn’t portray reality.

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

‘Visibility is being seen in different areas’

 

‘Why would anyone want me?’

 

‘I was kind of a deranged newsreader’

 

‘When you are unapologetically you, it is so liberating’

 

‘Visibility means that you stand in the way of opportunity’

 

‘If you’re pedestal-ised, you’re unapproachable’

 

‘Comfortably uncomfortable’

 

‘Be prolific rather than perfect'
