Is Your Coaching Offer Not Selling? Try These 5 Fixes to Make It Irresistible
Could it be time to revamp your coaching offer?If you’re not sure, this episode will help you figure it out.

I’m teaching you why you should work on refining your current offer rather than creating a new one and sharing the process for you to follow. Continuous improvement is a crucial part of business ownership.

160. What's Required To Scale Beyond $1M That Your Business Coach Isn't Telling You
Listen if you are ready to scale your business beyond $1M, and want to save years of mistakes, headaches, and hundreds of thousands of dollars. This one’s for you! Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Marketing will break your business faster than anything else if your offer isn’t actually scaleable, to begin with. If the offer itself, is not set up to scale from the backend-- then adding more marketing could put you in a position of heightened overwhelm instead. When you are a selling high-ticket program, ads may buy you leads, but ads won’t convert by themselves. Manual touchpoints, with human interaction, are still required to close the sale. Be careful about what is marketed to you --you need to be savvy enough to know what you actually need and when your business needs it. Explaining the major difference between monthly recurring revenue and huge 1-hit-wonder launches. Are you more focused on $100k launches or are you more interested in having 100k months? And lots more! Tune in now.

157. Get Your Clients To Hold Themselves Accountable In Your Group Coaching Program
If you are on the fence about whether you should join a higher-end group coaching program that is $6k-20k, or whether you should just hire a 1-1 coach for $2-10k, then this is for you. You should know up front that there’s a different way you must hold yourself accountable in a group coaching program, over private 1:1 coaching. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: There is a big difference in the way you must conduct yourself and hold yourself accountable in a group container vs. private 1:1 coaching A course is usually DIY experience --meaning a self-study curriculum that teaches you the information, without a heavy amount of individualized attention, coaching support, or in-depth community to help you with implementation In group coaching programs, 1:1 support is ALWAYS provided, it’s just not private support. Any time you ask a question, you are getting 1:1 support to answer that question, it’s just not private. Vulnerability is required as a business owner, in order for you to grow in a group container Your coach can only hold you accountable to the level that you hold yourself accountable. You must hold yourself accountable, in order for your coach to help you get the full results they promised. It’s not your coach’s job to do all the heavy lifting for you. Holding yourself accountable can be you offering a perspective or sharing a mistake and how you fixed it. It doesn’t mean you always have to have all the answers. And lots more! Tune in now.

You’ll hear me coach my clients on the importance of showing your perspective, allowing your personality to come through, and increasing the amount of contact you have with your clients.

Tune in! Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: In March 2020 this cohort had made $150k from their Lean Launches, and one student suggested the group aim for $1M collectively, by the end of the year.

151. Scaling: Does It Require Launching A New Offer?
If you want to make more money, what’s required is to decide WHAT you need to start saying NO to. Set your boundaries and stick to them. You don’t need a new offer. You just need to maximize your efforts around your most profitable revenue stream. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: The number 1 mistake new coaches make when trying to scale their business is to create another new program, to try and help them scale. In reality, this does the opposite. Creating another program and/or giving more 1-1 access to you, is NOT the way to solve the problem. To scale your business simply STRIP AWAY ANY AND EVERYTHING that is NOT driving profit. Look at your numbers so you can make data-driven decisions Ask yourself: How much time am I spending on each offer? Which one is generating me the MOST amount of $$$, in the least amount of time? Which one is generating the LEAST amount of $$$, but taking the most time? How to write a list of the clients you need to start saying no to And lots more! Tune in now. Every day, we help coaches and DFY providers, like you, transform their 1:1 service into a SUSTAINABLE online coaching business that is set up to automate the necessary aspects of your offer so you have the energy to show up, serve your clients and increase your business growth month after month.

143. 7 Mindset Shifts To Position Your Coaching Business For 7 Figures
In this episode, I’m going to be talking you through 7 key mindset shifts that will help you grow into the role of CEO in your coaching business and take you beyond 7-figures. I recount my experience collecting my first $70,000 month, a milestone that I was very proud of, and share with you all the mental adjustments I had to make along the way to get there. Establishing your business and hustling your way to $50,000 a year requires a certain skill set and drive. However, when you reach a certain level there are ways of thinking that you need to let go of and new thought processes you have to adopt if you want to continue to evolve. Tune in for the 7 mindset shifts you need to make in order to grow a multi-7-figure coaching business. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here is a brief summary of the 7 mindset shifts you need to reach 7-figures: #1- Where am I becoming the bottleneck? - I used to think in terms of what I should be doing. However, this was causing me to become a bottleneck. It forced me to be aware of where and when I was getting in my own way, in terms of growth and progress. #2- How can I find or train someone to figure it out on my behalf? - Trying to figure everything out by yourself may be effective in the beginning, but when you transition to a CEO you need to document your processes and then train others on how to do it. #3- How can I coach my team? - I stopped trying to come with the answer and instead looked at how I could create a great working environment so my team could execute their own solutions. #4- What’s best for the company? - Asking yourself what “you” want is great in the early hustle phase, but to build a sustainable business you have to separate yourself from your business and take ownership by doing what’s best for your company, not just you. #5- Own and acknowledge stepping into your power - I would always wonder if this was really possible for me. Once I was making six figures consistently I still felt I had to prove myself. I had to stop second-guessing myself and develop my self-confidence. #6- Diagnose and find the root cause - I was very reactive, responding to symptoms in the early days. Taking a more proactive approach led me to do the most important work-- which was what I was resisting. #7- What problem needs to be solved? - It’s easy to become consumed with what you think you should be doing, mimicking others. However, when I started to dial in on what needed to be done, my effectiveness went through the roof. And lots more! Tune in now.

She realized they were charging four-figures for less robust services than what she was able to provide. Be efficient - Micah doesn’t like to do more work than she has to. This efficient approach allows her to hone in on the work that’s needed to get the optimal results for herself and her clients.

139. 3 Things Every Successful Coach Must Prioritize Once They Surpass $10k Months
In today’s episode, I’m going to be sharing the three aspects of time management that you need to know about as you’re reaching full capacity in your business. This is especially important if you run a six-figure coaching business or you’re well on the path to six-figures. You’re probably noticing that your methods of time management are changing and your situation is different from when you were a solopreneur in hustle mode to launch your signature service and land clients. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: What season are you in? - In order to determine what you should be prioritizing, you first need to identify which season of business you’re in. Unless you’re making over $8k a month in revenue, your focus should be on selling your services and enrolling high ticket clients. Have you reached your capacity limit? - When your capacity reaches its limit you need to consider changing your business model. Is your current business model sustainable? If not, you need to hone in on your one core offer and sales process, becoming the leading person that solves that particular problem. Become a CEO - When you’re making more than $10k a month, you need to stop thinking of yourself as a founder and start showing up as a CEO. Put yourself on the payroll and think of yourself as the person that ultimately runs your business, just like the CEO of any corporation does. Managing expectations - Is your effort aligned with your expectations? You have to clearly define what success looks like for you and be committed to doing whatever is required to achieve it. Question assumptions and check in with beliefs - As you grow you have to check in with your assumptions and beliefs. If your assumptions are derived from negative beliefs (many of which were rooted in childhood trauma) then you’ll sabotage your growth. Mindset work is essential. And lots more! Tune in now.

138. How To Pivot In Order To Protect Your Online Coaching Business
In this episode, I’m going to be raw and honest with you. We’re going to talk about what really matters. Even though you may not like everything you’re going to hear, it comes from a place of love and wanting you to get rich as you thrive in business and life. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Update your message - Whatever marketing and messaging you were using a few weeks ago it’s probably not going to be relevant in today’s market climate. The coronavirus has changed the game and clients’ pain points are more visible right now than they have ever been before. Pivoting your promise - Does your promise meet the necessity of potential clients? Right now, people and businesses don’t have resources to spend on luxuries and niceties. They need their basic needs to be fulfilled. Your promise, therefore, needs to align with the basic necessities of clients. Don’t project your limiting money beliefs onto clients - You have to recognize your limiting beliefs and understand that while people have less money in their pockets than before, they’re not completely broke. Aligning with what people need and confidently offering them a specific and tangible solution will ensure you’re as profitable as ever. Keep selling - For a transformation to take place there must first be a transaction. Don’t give away your solution for free and don’t give discounts. People are still paying and in order to pay your bills, you have to keep selling and serving clients. How big before you pivot? - If you’re only making $20k - $40k a year then you need to continue making sales at a premium rate and doing excellent 1:1 client work. When you’re well beyond this threshold and operating at full capacity you need to consider pivoting your business model and leveraging beyond 1:1. And lots more! Tune in now.

Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful.

If you’re starting out, there are a lot of business problems that aren’t relevant to you in the early stages of business. Instead, focus on how you can articulate your value, raise your rates, and make money. How has my message changed under the current political climate? - My mission has always been to increase the representation of women of color in higher-level leadership roles. Therefore, given the current political situation we’re in, my message is consistent and more relevant than ever before. Becoming a CEO - Learning to sell is vital but there are so many other things that you need to know about when running a business in the long-run. Evolving into the CEO role of your business involves understanding the data and learning to make critical decisions. How important is 1:1 time - People don’t enroll in coaching programs based on the amount of time you give them. What’s more important than time is the promise of your offer and the results you can get. And lots more! Tune in now. If you’re booked out with private 1:1 clients, ready to raise the price of your successful digital course or want a new revenue stream beyond retainer clients, I invite you to apply.

135. What Type Of Content Should You Create In Your Coaching Business?
Are you struggling to get consistent results from your content? Do you know what kind of content creator you are? In today’s episode, you’re going to discover which of the 3 types of content creator (The Consumer, The Creator, The Publisher) you are, and what kind of content strategy you should be pursuing in your coaching business to get the results you want. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: “The Consumer” - Consumers tend to follow everyone and are constantly consuming content. Consumers are so busy watching others’ content that they struggle to show up and present themselves. “The Creator” - Creators are focused on publishing content. They typically push their own content over and over again. While they tend to get plenty of likes, they may struggle with attracting qualified prospects and converting clients. “The Critic” - If you’re selling a high ticket item then you need to be a critic. Critics challenge the beliefs of their audience. They share their perspectives on topical and relevant issues that their audience is currently experiencing. Quality over quantity - It’s not about posting regurgitating other peoples’ content just for the sake of it. What’s more important is a consistent message that displays quality over quantity. Challenge beliefs - If you’re a critic, you’re not teaching people how to do something but you’re teaching people how to think. You’re challenging their point of view in a way that opens them up to something they’ve never considered before. And lots more! Tune in now. Every day, we help coaches and DFY providers, like you, transform their 1:1 service into a SUSTAINABLE online coaching business that is set up to automate the necessary aspects of your offer so you have the energy to show up, serve your clients and increase your business growth month after month.

134. How Overcoming The Fear Of Niching Down Helped This Curriculum Consultant Convert Multiple 4-Figure Clients with Zakiya Williams-Spears
Today’s student spotlight episode features the wonderful Zakiya Williams-Spears. Zakiya is a mom, wife, and community educator dedicated to developing more equitable learning spaces for youth and adult learners. She’s the founder of Cultur-Ed™ Consulting, a full service educational consulting firm with a mission to inspire social change through meaningful and engaging learning experiences. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Expand your circle - When starting out in business, Zakiya didn’t have many entrepreneurs around her to talk to. She looked for inspiration and people to help her on her mission by going out and expanding her circle. Start broad and then find your niche - Zakiya, like many others, initially wanted to help everyone achieve all their goals. She feels that starting broad is OK while you learn to dial in on what your specific niche and signature service should be along the way. Resistance is normal - To become a butterfly a caterpillar must push through a lot of resistance in order to leave the cocoon. Zakiya is a great example of how you need to keep going during those moments when you experience resistance. Being part of a like-minded community helps. Don’t expect overnight success - Zakiya is in it for the long run. She trusts in the process and is patient enough to show up consistently in order to achieve success. She’s always learning and evolving. Niching-down to get tangible results - When Zakiya provided a general, broad service, her clients reported “feeling better,” but there were limited tangible results. Niching down has allowed her to get specific, life-changing transformations for her clients. And lots more!

133. How To Overcome Fear Of Failure And Rejection In Sales
The success of your business completely depends upon your ability to sell. I understand it’s not easy to get over your fear of sales and bouncing back after being rejected is hard. That’s why I’m going to be going through the three main things that people tend to get wrong and what you need to do to set yourself up for success in sales. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Never worry about possible rejections - You don’t have to over-perfect your sales techniques before you even try to sell. Focusing on potential negative scenarios can stop you from even trying to sell in the first place. It’s time to shift your perspective to something more empowering. Is a prospect the “right fit?” - Your focus in a sales call should be to determine whether or not a prospect is the right fit for your service. Help them make the right decision whether it’s to work with you or not. Rejection doesn’t mean you’re a failure - Do you feel like every rejection is a failure? It’s easy to find yourself on a downward spiral. Lowering prices and discounting your services may seem like the right thing to do, but it’s not. Rejection does NOT mean failure! Are you in rejection rehab? - Some people take weeks or months to get over a sales rejection. Others won’t get on a sales call because they’re worried about taking a stranger’s money. If you’re in rejection rehab you need to check yourself out immediately. Put yourself out there and talk about the value you have to offer. Hearing “no” is normal - You can be the world’s best salesperson and you’re still going to hear no. Rejections and objections are normal. Instead of trying to get prospects to buy, your goal is to help them to make the best decision. And lots more! Tune in now.

132. 3 Reasons Why Your Messaging Is Attracting Prospects Who Aren't Ready To Invest
Today’s episode features an issue that many coaches face, but have trouble pinpointing where the exact problem lies. If you want to attract clients that convert then you’ll want to tune in. Grab your notebooks and get ready, because I’m going to be teaching you how to create and deliver a clear message that gets you the results you desire. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Do you have a clear program promise? - You can’t expect to attract qualified prospects if there’s a disconnect between what your offer provides and your prospects’ ability to understand the value it brings to them then. Your message needs to reinforce your value proposition. Have you defined your positioning? - It’s important to define how you want people to perceive you. You have to train your audience to perceive you in the way you want to be perceived and apply the appropriate angle to achieve this in your marketing. Teach people how to think - If you’re selling a high ticket item then you can’t use “how-to” articles. The psychology behind high ticket buying is completely different from that of an ebook. Instead of teaching people what to do, you have to teach them how to think. Are you delivering your message? - Are you showing up and putting out live steam videos and chatting to your audience? Creating content behind the scenes is important but you can’t expect people to align with your messaging if you’re not showing up and delivering a message. You are capable of doing hard things - Being courageous enough to show up and allowing your voice to be heard is hard. I understand that. But, I believe in you. I believe you are capable of doing hard things if you’re committed. And lots more! Tune in now. If you want some help clarifying your program promise and refining your curriculum, I’m here to help.

131. How This Overworked Virtual Assistant Is On Her Way To Crossing The $500k Mark By Launching High Ticket Group Coaching Programs with Tasha Booth
This episode features the powerful Tasha Booth, someone in the online space that I’ve been admiring for a while. In this episode, Tasha gives a behind-the-scenes look at how she went from being an overworked VA to successfully leveraged her business into a multi-six-figure agency with over 20 members. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: What is your “why”? - As an overworked virtual assistant, Tasha began asking herself “What is it that I want to do? What is it that I love doing? What is it that I’m really good at?” These deep questions started the process of figuring out what her signature service was. Are you maxed out? - When Tasha was maxed out with 25 clients as a solopreneur, she had to change her business model. Since she enjoyed collaborating with others she decided to evolve her business into an agency. She is living proof that you can hustle yourself to six figures. But, this is usually the point when you need to pivot. From “I” to “we” - When Tasha pivoted to an agency model, she needed to learn to let go of trying to do everything herself and train others to do parts of her job. This shift allowed her to focus on being a CEO. Strategic focus - Tasha and her team carry out an annual plan to decide what the following year will look like. This ensures rash decisions aren’t made and she can take the time to ensure necessary infrastructure and processes are in place before anything new is introduced. Overcoming mindset barriers - One of the biggest limiting beliefs that Tasha has faced is “no one will pay that.” She overcomes her doubts by finding other people who have “already done it.” This lets her know what is possible. And lots more! Tune in now.

130. Knowing Your Niche Isn't Enough
Most people don’t understand that you have to get way more specific than just knowing your area of specialization. You have to peel back all the layers and realize whether your niche is actually specific enough to attract high quality-clients. In this episode I’m going to be breaking niching down into three layers: Career category Business niche Signature service This knowledge is essential if you want to land clients with a four (or five) figure price tag. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: What is a niche? - From a business perspective, a niche appeals to a small, specialized section of the population. Career category - The first layer of niching down is your career category. This would be a general job title, such as an attorney, accountant, or health coach. Getting down to this level is only OK if you’re selling something relatively inexpensive, such as an ebook. Business niche - The second layer of niching down is your business niche. This is your subject niche within your career category. Signature service - The third and final layer of niching down is your signature service. Niching down to this level usually comes with a lot of resistance. However, if you’re not drilling down to this level of specificity you’re leaving a lot of money on the table. Specialists get paid more than generalists - When you get super-specific, you’re going to find that you also have a very specific process that you can walk your clients through in order to achieve the results they want. This is what allows you to charge a higher price tag. And lots more! Tune in now. You and I both know that it’s time that you take full ownership of your expertise. Finally learn how to clarify your program promise, articulate your value, and organically launch your $3k - $10k group coaching program. Click here to learn more about how we can help.

129. Why You Suck At Selling (And 4 Ways To Fix It)
Listening to this episode will help you take a client through a journey and set yourself up for success. I’m going to help you turn things around by giving you FOUR ways to fix your broken sales process. I want to ensure you can meet your revenue goals and confidently convert clients with ease. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: High ticket sales - It’s important to understand that selling a high ticket tiem is completely different from selling a low ticket item. The buyer psychology and processes required are completely different. What do we mean by a “sales process”? - A sales process isn’t about automated tools and complicated sales funnels. It’s a predefined set of interactions for identifying, qualifying, and converting prospects. You need to have your steps fully defined and documented. Identification prospects - You need to not only attract your ideal client but you need to repel those who you’re service is not for. If you have to beg for prospects to be your clients then you’re not attracting the right prospects. Qualifying prospects - What’s your screening process? You need to be clear on who can get on a sales call. Your sales process needs to weed out those who aren’t fit for your program. Converting prospects - Your sales process needs to convert. Just because you know you can help, your prospect also needs to believe it. It’s your job to communicate this.

128. How This London Based Career Coach Used The Champagne Closer™ Method To Overcome Her Struggle With Sales Call with Janine Esbrand
My guest on this episode is the awesome Janine Esbrand, a London based corporate and commercial lawyer who enrolled in Leverage after traditional online launch methods failed to yield the results she wanted. With 12 years of experience in the legal industry and a drive to find solutions that support her growth, Janine is very inspiring to listen to. This episode is especially interesting if you struggle to confidently close clients on sales calls. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Are you using the right method? - Janine tried using a membership model for her first launch. Although she had some success, she realized she wasn’t going to hit her revenue goals and wasn’t attracting fully committed clients. This caused her to shift her approach and find a better method. Realize your value - Even though she was hesitant to charge a high price tag, Janine thought hard about the value she was bringing to the table and the results she could get for clients. After this, she knew she needed to sell a high-ticket item. Thriving through COVID - Despite having invested in Leverage just before the international break-out of COVID, Janine remained fully committed to the process. With more and more people needing a career change, she’s found her services are more relevant than ever. Qualify your leads - Janine always questions whether a prospect is the right person for her program. Rather than trying to make a sale, she now tries to ensure that she’s only attracting clients that will be a good fit. Learning how to close consistently - When Janine began using the Champagne Closer™ Method, she learned to shift her focus from trying to make the sale, to helping people understand what they wanted and help them make the right decision. This instantly turned around her sales performance. And lots more! Tune in now.

127. Why Selling $15,000 Programs Is Simpler Than Selling $1,500 Programs
If you’ve been in business for a while and don’t want to be doing 1:1 forever then it may be time to leverage what you’ve got. 1:1 is a great way to start out as you get used to landing high ticket-clients and refining your process. However, after you have three to five clients, it becomes advantageous to shift your business model to a high-ticket group program, which is exactly what we do with our Leverage program. We’ve helped many clients go above and beyond six-figures. In this episode, I’m going to be discussing one of the keys to achieving this high level of success. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Commit and follow through - If you’re on a coaching program to help you launch your product or service then you need to be all-in. You need to commit to the process and follow through with the launch. Why is it easier to sell a $15,000 program? - The psychology of a buyer looking at a $15,000 program is completely different from a buyer looking at a $1,500 program. Anyone considering the higher price tag understands the value and return that such an investment will yield. Attract reliable and committed clients - If you’re selling a program with a $15,000 price tag you’ll experience far less failed payments than if you’re selling at $1,500. Also, because your clients have invested so much, they’ll be fully committed to showing up and doing the work required. Resistance never goes away - Each time you reach a new level in business and your financial life, it’s normal to experience resistance and feel discomfort. Instead of trying to avoid the discomfort, recognize that it’s a normal part of the process that can be helped with mindset work. The power of group coaching - Even with the best process in place, if you’re unwilling to shift your beliefs you’ll never move forward. Working with peers in a group coaching program is one of the best ways to continually recognize and shift limiting beliefs that would have gone undiscovered. And lots more! Tune in now. Every day, we help coaches and DFY providers, like you, transform their 1:1 service into a SUSTAINABLE online coaching business that is set up to automate the necessary aspects of your offer so you have the energy to show up, serve your clients and increase your business growth month after month.

126. Is Lowering Your Price The Only Way To Increase Sales?
Do you believe that lowering your price will increase sales? If you’re launching your signature service for the first time or you’ve been in the game for a few months and not getting the sales you expected, this episode will help. It’s way harder to sell something for free than with a price tag. If I see something for free then I tend to stay clear of it and question its true value. So, how should you go about setting your price? Tune in to find out more. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: A lower price doesn’t mean less friction - It’s normal to experience a lot of friction when you’re new to the market. While lowering your price may seem like a good idea to reduce friction, it won’t. This is a limiting belief that you need to overcome. Communicate your true value - When it comes to your service, you understand its true value. However, your prospects don’t yet understand this. It’s your job as a seller to communicate what you can do for your prospects in a way that they will comprehend. Don’t underestimate the importance of price - When it comes to sales, I believe price is the most important factor. It demonstrates the level of value your clients can expect. A high price tag communicates quality and attracts high-quality clientele. Don’t take the easy way out - Experiencing rejection and having prospects trying to haggle can be damaging to your confidence. Instead of taking the easy way out and offering discounts, you should enhance your ability to communicate your value. Raise your rates - If you’re lacking confidence and struggling to overcome sales objections then check out jereshiahawk.com/rightresponse. With the right attitude and tools, you can raise your rates and learn to become a beast at sales. And lots more! Tune in now. Raising your rate takes more effort than just deciding on a new price. Then comes the work of addressing the objections, effectively articulating your value in your marketing content, and designing curriculum that delivers on the promise you sold the client into.

125. How This Conversion Copywriter Is Scaling Beyond Five Figure Done For Your Launch Projects With A Coaching Program with Christine Blubaugh
This episode features the fabulous Christine Blubaugh, a successful copywriter, and coach that’s been able to transition from food blogger and health coach to establishing a copywriting business that’s expanding beyond landing five figure clients. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Do you need to change direction? - Christine spent a decade studying and working in the health and wellness industry. However, after struggling with her own health problems she realized that a change of direction was needed and writing would be better suited to her. Do what comes natural - It’s easy to overlook the skill sets that come naturally to us. Christine realized she’d always been a writer and it was one of her natural talents. More importantly, there were people out there that needed help with writing. Get on the radar - Christine didn’t start out making cold pitches and using hard selling tactics. She got on the radar of potential clients, taking a very personal approach. She worked hard to establish great relationships before trying to land clients. Confidence through experience - Christine has confidence in being able to prescribe solutions to clients rather than letting her clients wrongly tell her what to do. Her vast experience allows her to understand if something is going to work or not. Transitioning to a leveraged offer - Christine had several ideas for online products, but nothing really excited her. After a couple of years of pondering a leveraged offer, she realized her niche and passion was in writing for social media. She allowed her idea to evolve and tested various components out before eventually launching. And lots more! Tune in now.

124. 5 Reasons Why Your Content Isn't Converting (And How To Change It)
If you’re a service provider, and your primary method of enrolling clients is via organic content then you’re not going to want to miss this episode. I’m going to be going through the five reasons your content isn’t converting and what you need to change in order to land your ideal clients. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Focus on one clear promise - When introducing a high ticket item, many people try to introduce more offers to sell. Instead, you need to focus on one clear promise and speak to a clearly defined audience rather than trying to capture everybody. Whose opinion are you listening too? - Being too worried about everyone else’s opinion can hold you back. You only need to focus on the opinions of qualified leads and people with relevant experience. Whose problem are you solving? - Stop focusing on your problems and start focusing on the problems of prospective clients. Your business doesn't exist to serve you, it exists to solve someone else’s problem. Are you playing hard to get? - Stop waiting for people to speak to you. As a business owner, you need to be proactive and be the first one to start a conversation. Learn to overcome sales objections - Do you offer a discount or down-sell the first time you hear a sales objection? Sales objections and rejections are inevitable. It’s part of the game. You need to learn to overcome them rather than thinking something’s wrong with you as a business coach. And lots more! Tune in now.

123. The Ramp Up: What I've Learned From Selling One Program For 3 Years
If you have trouble being consistent then today’s episode could be insightful and enlightening for you. There’s a lot of profitability when you focus on selling ONE thing for an extended period of time. It’s how you build a healthy foundation for your business and set yourself up for long-term sustainability. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Stay focused - When starting out it’s easy to give up, change direction, or try to create another offer. Patience is vital and it’s important not to make rash decisions until you’ve accumulated sufficient data. It’s not as simple as creating a dope product - If you merely try to create a dope product and mimic what someone else is doing you’re unlikely to achieve long-term success. You need to have a full service that will get results for your clients. It’s a continuous process - Even after 500 successful clients and three years in business, we’re still refining and improving our signature program. As you gain experience it’s important not to get complacent and continue evolving what you have. You’re not going to solve everything - As human beings, your clients have a million problems. It’s not your responsibility to solve them all. It is your job, however, to be the best in the business at solving that one specific problem that you’re being hired for. Focus on what matters - It’s easy to get distracted and caught up in trends. You need to stay super-focused, refining your processes to improve the experience while acting on revenue-generating activities. And lots more! Tune in now.

121. How To Prepare Your Quarterly Business Planning
Do you struggle with quarterly business planning? Or, do you avoid it altogether? These essential tasks can be tough if you don’t have the right mindset to begin with. In this episode, I’m going to be sharing some very specific ideas and practices that position me to achieve my goals and give my company what it needs to move forward and thrive. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: The importance of a morning routine - When I work through a solid and wholesome morning ritual I always feel energized for the day ahead. Simple things like drinking a nourishing smoothie and taking a quick walk with the dog can make all the difference when you have a busy day of planning ahead. Start with a clean slate - Before I begin planning I set a timer for 15 minutes and dump out all thoughts and feelings that are weighing on myself. This includes personal things as well as work and helps me express emotions. Then I can begin my quarterly planning with a clean slate. From “founder” to “CEO” mentality - After making your first six figures, you need to adjust your thinking from being a founder to being a CEO with the purpose of running and growing your business. Gather and review the data - To know what you want to achieve you first have to look at past performance. Review all the key metrics of the past quarter and use these figures to make projections. Then ask yourself what actions are needed to achieve your goals. Don’t complain about your audience - Your audience is a reflection of your own behavior. If you’re not consistently showing up and projecting the right way then you can’t expect to attract an audience that converts. And lots more! Tune in now.

120. Are You Coaching Your Clients Or Crippling Them?
Deep down, are you afraid that your clients may not get the results you promised? Is this holding you back from niching down and raising your rates? There’s a big difference between enabling your clients and empowering them to stand on their own two feet and achieve sustainable results after you’ve finished working with them. In order to maximize the potential of this episode, you’ll want to get your notebook out to jot anything that comes up. I’m going to be asking you to be honest with yourself as we tackle this together. (If you’re going through the process of hiring a coach then check out my 20 Questions to Ask Your Business Coach to ensure you make the right decision.) Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Are you coaching or crippling your clients? - When a client has a problem, do you instantly give them the solution or do you give them the resources they need to be able to solve their problems? Your clients must do the work - As a coach, it is NOT your responsibility to get your clients their results. It’s your responsibility to provide a framework and support them through their transformation. It’s a two-way commitment and your client must commit to doing the necessary work. Be selective - If a client can’t commit to putting in the work, we don’t let them enroll in our program. You need to be selective, ensuring you only take on clients of a high enough caliber. Ask the right questions - The ability to ask questions is a high-level skill set. When a client has a problem, it’s your responsibility to ask the right questions. This gets your client thinking about how to solve their problems. Are you projecting? - Beware that you’re not projecting your own limiting beliefs onto your clients. You need to observe objectively, listen to their beliefs, and help them discover what’s untrue as they become the best versions of themselves. And lots more! Tune in now. If you’re booked out with private 1:1 clients, ready to raise the price of your successful digital course or want a new revenue stream beyond retainer clients, I invite you to apply.

118. The Blessings Of Obedience
I recorded this episode while running errands to share the testimony of the overflow of favor and abundance God has blessed me with during this season. One thing I have been learning since I started this business back in 2016 and a lesson I have been especially learning during 2020 is that our obedience always brings blessings. This episode is a pure testimony of how aligned discipline and obedience has radically advanced my life in every area.

Today’s episode features an extra-important Q&A, addressing your deepest concerns. Many people are letting fear take over as the coronavirus and an impending recession has become the new norm. This Q&A episode is about much more than surviving the current economic climate. I’m also going to be giving you some valuable sales advice and talking about what you need to do to build wealth.

Here are a few key highlights: Fixing what’s broken - As you’re growing your business, certain things are always going to be broken. A bad economy highlights these problems and represents a good opportunity to get them fixed. Time for a pause? - If you’ve been in business for a while and you’re still not seeing financial consistency then it could be time for a pause to reevaluate your business model and ensure you’re focusing on the right thing. What’s the real value of an online business? - If you operate an online business then you have a big advantage over a lot of traditional businesses. Low overheads mean you can be profitable from day 1. Do you have trouble selling? - Selling a high ticket item can seem difficult if you’re constantly hearing objections and getting rejected. If you need help mastering your sales process, check out my new sales training. Getting rich and building wealth are two different things - Building a business is a vehicle to generate cash and get rich. Building wealth is about taking the money made from your business and making the right investments.

116. You Can't Be A Bad Buyer And A Good Seller
In this episode, I’m going to help you address a mental block you were probably never aware of. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Transaction before transformation - For a transformation to occur, a transaction has to take place first. A conversation is what’s required to initiate, complete the sale, and set the scene for what’s to come. What kind of buyer are you? - What goes through your mind when you make a buying decision? You need to become aware of this because your mindset as a buyer inevitably translates into your selling process. Qualify your clients - As a coach with a premium price tag, you’re going to be having an intimate relationship with your clients. You need to be working solely with clients who are willing to follow the processes you’re laying out. Always ensure you qualify your clients. Are you showing up? - You’ll struggle to build a business if you’re unwilling to talk to people. Especially if you want to sell high-ticket. You need to be willing to interact on social media, show your face, and get in front of prospective clients. Don’t get caught up in an ego trap - After getting some success I went through a few months of thinking I could sit back and live the “laptop lifestyle.” I was wrong.

115. How This Done For You Social Media Consultancy Is Sustainably Scaling Beyond $250K with Andrea Jones
This episode features the wonderful Andrea Jones, a super-successful social media entrepreneur who’s committed to high-quality client work and her online community. Andrea has had to figure a lot of things out along the way which makes this episode truly fascinating to any aspiring entrepreneur... Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Hustling for clients - In the early days, Andrea learned by hustling on freelancer sites and pitching for jobs to get clients. Sales is a contact sport and you have to be willing to go out there and put in the work to get clients. Retain and maintain - To improve and maintain consistent cash flow, Andrea started doing more reporting to add value to her service. This ensured clients would stay with her and she didn’t have to keep going out to get more clients. She also started raising her prices. Added brainpower - Once she reached full capacity, Andrea decided she needed a team. This not only enabled her to delegate a lot of day-to-day tasks but she also found that having more brains working together added a whole new level to the capabilities of the business. Hardships of hiring - When it comes to hiring, Andrea has learned two lessons… the hard way! After getting lucky with her first hire, she assumed everyone would have a high work ethic and be super-accountable which was a mistake. Secondly, after hiring top talent, she hadn’t yet put business procedures in place to help team members thrive. As a result, her cash flow was hit hard. Refusing the agency route - Andrea wants to be 100% responsible for the strategy and the results that the strategy gets for her clients. This goes against what a typical agency business model looks like. She’s set up a hybrid model to maintain a high quality of client work, running her business in a way that suits her. And lots more!

114. Q&A: How Do I Know If My Signature Service Is Specific Enough?
One of the biggest struggles my clients have is getting their head around what their offer should be. Once you’ve selected your signature service, how do you know if it’s specific enough? And, how do you sell it consistently? In this episode, I’m not only going to walk you through the three levels of specificity that you need but I’m going to tell you a few things that you NEED to hear right now. I’m in full-passion mode, so tune in, buckle up and get ready... Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: It takes time - If you’re moving too fast, it’s usually not sustainable. Accept that your first 3-5 years in business will be a constant state of refinement. These adaptations are not the same thing as starting all over again. They’re a sign that you’re evolving as you find your niche, change your positioning, and adapt your business processes. What’s your overarching category? - This is a general category that you fall within. For example, you may be a marketing consultant or a business coach. The problem is that a lot of people stop there. They name their profession and don’t specify their service. What’s your business niche? - This is your specialty or area of focus. For example, a web designer may focus exclusively on WordPress sites. What’s your signature service? - What is the result you’re delivering? This is where things usually get difficult as you have to define the specific service you provide. Get super clear on the problem you’re solving. How to know if your service is specific enough - Ask yourself: is there a recipe that someone else could follow to get my result? If not then you need to keep drilling down. I’m not saying that it’s going to be easy. But you can do it! Forget about things like positioning, content creation, and sales until you get down to the necessary level of specificity. You are now the answer to someone else’s prayer - What’s holding you back? I believe that you have everything you need to go out there and sell your services…. And get paid a high-ticket price. You need to believe in yourself, be bold, and be transparent. And lots more! Tune in now. You and I both know that it’s time that you take full ownership of your expertise. Finally learn how to clarify your program promise, articulate your value, and organically launch your $3k - $10k group coaching program.

113. What Kind Of Entrepreneur Are You? Understanding Your Entrepreneurial Archetype
Understanding your entrepreneurial archetype can be insanely helpful when making business decisions and learning to sell your services consistently. That’s why in this episode, I’m going to help you discover what type of entrepreneur you are, the traps of each type, and what you need to focus on... Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Sales are essential - Regardless of your entrepreneurial archetype and personality, you have to get comfortable with sales. Communicating what value you bring to the table and inviting people to hire you is something you have to get good at. What type of offer? - Do you want to create your own intellectual property? If so, you can revolve your business around this. If not, maybe it’s better to revolve your business model around supporting someone else’s intellectual property. Mission-driven entrepreneurs - If you’re a mission-driven entrepreneur, you have a strong, higher-calling that drives you. However, you need to beware that you’re not so focused on making a difference that you neglect the long-term financial viability of your business. You need to get to grips with the number to ensure you fulfill your mission. Expert entrepreneurs - If you’re an expert entrepreneur then you're starting your business after gaining years of experience and expertise in a certain field. A common problem with experts is that they may neglect to learn the business side of things and sign up clients in their pursuit of producing high-quality work. Lifestyle entrepreneur - A lifestyle entrepreneur typically starts a business in order to establish their ideal lifestyle. This can be a problem if you lack the drive required to build a successful business in the first place. By treating your business like a hobby you may never earn the money needed to finance your desired lifestyle. And lots more! Tune in now.

112. How This E-Commerce Branding Consultant Kept Going When Doubts And Fears Were Holding Her Back with Aleah Robbins
This episode features the fabulous Aleah Robbins who’s a great example for anyone who wants to overcome the fear of moving forward. She signed up for Services That Sell after she discovered this very podcast and decided to schedule a call with me. At the time she had just started her business and was scared at the thought of doing live videos and selling. Now, she’s getting out there and building alliances, growing her business, landing speaking engagements, and so much more... Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Document the process - Aleah was super scared at the thought of going live on video. Yet, when I gave her the advice to just document the process that she was going through, it allowed her to keep things simple and get her first video out there. Feel afraid and make the commitment - Even though Aleah feels the fear, she’s committed to doing the work. This has allowed her to become successful in short time span. She sees the bigger picture and realizes what she’s doing it for. She admits that you’re going to be uncomfortable either way, whether you go for it or do nothing. Get super specific - If you want to get results and have the impact you want, then Aleah points out that you have to get specific. Niche down, pick one problem and pick one person that you’re going to solve it for. Overcoming doubt and slowing down - Aleah admits that she used to always be in a rush. Now, she wakes up a bit earlier and gives herself more time. This has allowed her to gain a greater awareness of herself and her feelings and do what it takes to overcome them. Create a process and package your service - Aleah has been able to offer a comprehensive package that her clients need. Beforehand she would do things in bits and pieces. Taking note of typical client questions and teaching clients what they needed to know about branding is how she was able to create a packaged service. And lots more!

111. 3 Things To Consider When Pricing Your Coaching Program
Pricing is something that can definitely be tricky. There are a lot of things to consider beyond hitting your income goals. Price is of particular importance if you’re about to sell your first service, or if you’re looking to release a new program that leverages your current offering. So, if you’re struggling with pricing then you’ll want to tune in to this episode. You’re going to learn about the three factors that really matter when you set your price. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: A coaching program isn’t the same as a digital course - If you’re pricing a coaching program the same way that you’d price a digital course then you’re probably selling yourself short and leaving money on the table. Coaching provides so much more value than a DIY course. What’s the promise you’re delivering? - The price of your program should be heavily dependent on the promise that you’re selling. Before you create a coaching program, you need to get crystal clear on the specific result that you’re guaranteeing. What support are you providing? - If you’re offering things like group coaching calls, one-on-one coaching, or another form of support then you should be charging more. When deciding on support it should be all about making it easier for clients to achieve results. What results do you want your clients to achieve? - The bigger the promise, the higher the price. Think about your clients’ return on investment and ensure you can communicate this to them when quoting your price. For me, if a client is paying $10,000, I want to help them make more than $100,000. Don’t overcomplicate - When you’re working at maximum capacity you need to resist the urge to overcomplicate your business model, marketing strategy, and everything else. If in doubt, keep it simple. And lots more! Tune in now. Every day, we help coaches and DFY providers, like you, transform their 1:1 service into a SUSTAINABLE online coaching business that is set up to automate the necessary aspects of your offer so you have the energy to show up, serve your clients and increase your business growth month after month.

110. How To Find A Business Coach Who's Actually Legit
If you’re ready to invest in a coach or program then you’ll want to tune in to this episode. This gets me excited because I know first hand that having the right coach on your team positions you to have exponential results in your business. That’s why I’ve created an invaluable list of questions to ask any coach you’re thinking of hiring. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Finding a good coach isn’t easy - Anyone can claim to be a coach by writing a catchy bio on their social media page. This makes it particularly challenging when it comes to finding a legit coach. Ask the right questions - I put together a list of questions that you should be asking a potential coach. Asking the right questions is the best way to qualify the methodology and the person behind the methodology. If you are a coach then you should be asking yourself these questions as well. Is it clear what their area of expertise is? - You want to make sure that you’re hiring a coach with a specific area of expertise to help you achieve a specific result. If their promise is very general then there’s a good chance that they can’t really help you. How many services do they sell? - If a coach sells more than two different offers then be aware, especially if it’s a solopreneur (someone that doesn’t have employees or partners). There are only so many things an individual can focus on in a given day and selling three or more offers could mean that your coach has diluted their focus. How many clients have completed their program? - Signing up a client is great, but the bigger issue is how many of their clients are completing their program and getting the promised results. And lots more! Tune in now. Raising your rate takes more effort than just deciding on a new price. Then comes the work of addressing the objections, effectively articulating your value in your marketing content, and designing curriculum that delivers on the promise you sold the client into.

109. Bigger Isn't Always Better with Claire Pelletreau
This episode features the wonderful Claire Pelletreau, someone who has truly created her ideal lifestyle as her business has grown. She focuses on consistent quality over potentially burdensome growth, proving that bigger isn’t always better. After enjoying this episode, I highly recommend you check out my episode on her excellent podcast, The Get Paid Podcast. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Working with multiples - Claire sells online courses AND runs a mentorship program, she launched because her course clients wanted more. This allowed Claire to charge premium prices. However raising your rates and enrolling clients at your raised rates are two different things. Claire’s mentorship program is hugely transformational for the members because they gain access to her expertise and a whole community for support. Be an authority and have confidence in your abilities - When working with a client, Claire clearly sets expectations from the beginning. She has such confidence in her expertise that if a client experiences challenges, they trust and rely on her expert explanations without second guessing. Set your boundaries - Claire has given herself the freedom to be flexible in how she serves clients. She prioritizes her lifestyle over business growth. She doesn’t want the burden of running an agency and only chooses to work with a client if she feels their values align. Focus on your core offerings - Even though Claire focuses her efforts on her two successful core products it wasn’t always that way. She remembers creating other things that seemed like a good idea and after expensive launches, realized that no one wanted them. Know when to slow down and when to speed up - “If you’re on the beach, shouldn’t you just enjoy the beach?” Claire knows how to appreciate family and vacation time and points out that it’s a totally different world when you have a kid. There’s a time to speed up, for example, if a client is about to launch a new product, and there’s a time to slow down and focus on life. And lots more! Tune in now.

108. How To Increase Your Visibility On Facebook
If you’re concerned about a lack in your visibility then this episode is going to be extremely helpful for you. I’m going to give you an introduction into how the social media game is set up, and how you can play it to your advantage. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Understanding platforms - Social media is a vehicle to help amplify your message but your business model should never be 100% reliant on any one platform. If you’re purely reliant on paid advertising then you probably don’t have a sustainable business model. Knowing how the game works - Remember that Facebook (like all platforms) is a business whose objective is to make money. As a result, a standard post on your Facebook business page will only get 2% organic engagement. This is the algorithm and you have to accept that this is how the game works. Ultimately, Facebook wants you to pay for ads. The power of going live - Facebook and Instagram prioritize live video. As such, if you go live then you can expect a 10 - 16% organic reach. While this may not seem like much, it’s way higher than the 2% reach of a static post. The power of repurposing content - In order to spread your message further, you can repurpose content. Sharing a recording of your live video on your Facebook group is an excellent way to do this. You can also transcribe your live videos into written content and even release the audio as a podcast. Leveraging to maximize return - Why create a separate piece of content for your email list, YouTube, blog, and all other platforms? Instead create a single piece of content and leverage it by repurposing it for all platforms? You have to learn to leverage content to maximize your time and visibility. And lots more! Tune in now.

107. Q&A: Profit First, My Favorite Planner In 2020, How I Outline My Program Content, And More
After receiving with a bunch of great questions, I thought it was time for a little Q & A. You’ll want to tune in to this episode as I’m going to be answering some of your most popular questions. You’ll find out what my favorite planner is, what I do for self-care, how I go about creating content, how I structure my time, what you should be focused on, and much much more. I’m even going to be answering your questions about my eyebrows... Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: What planner am I using? - Full Focus Planner by Michael Hyatt is now my planner of choice. It’s been created and crafted with the business owner in mind and is based on a 90-day timeframe. I use it every single day. Do you create 5 separate bank accounts when using Profit First? - Profit First is a business approach (and book) created by Mike Michalowicz that ensures you’re profitable from the very beginning. I highly recommend the method, especially if you’re making less than $250,000 per year. And yes, you need to have multiple bank accounts to help you manage your money. I have a primary checking account and several accounts for tax, expenses, owner’s compensation, etc. What’s my process for outlining my programs? - Before you think about creating a program, you have to get crystal clear on the end result that a client will accomplish. What’s the promise? When you have this defined you can reverse engineer the process and lay out all the steps of the process that each person will need to go through. What do I do for self-care? - For me, self-care is all about self-integrity, enforcing boundaries, and honoring what my body is asking of me. For example, when I commit to doing something, I always follow it through whether it’s in my business or my personal life. Other things I do for self-care include both yoga and float tanks. These are great for learning to be more present. How do I set aside time for myself? - One way ensure I have time to work on my business as a CEO (as opposed to working in my business as an employee) is to keep Mondays free of appointments. The rhythm you work at depends on your personality and the season of business you’re in. When starting out, it helps to determine consistent work hours to ensure you have free time for your family, social life, and other things. And lots more! Tune in now.

This episode features the magnificent Shawna-Kaye Lester, an amazing entrepreneur who’s been a client of mine for years.

If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur then tuning into this episode is a must... Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful.

This led her to reach out and seek coaching to help develop the skills needed to build her business. The resistance is still there - Shawna admits that despite her success she still feels resistance. However, it became easier to overcome these challenges when she stopped accepting different types of clients and instead focused on her niche.

104. 3 Reasons Why Discounting Is Destroying Your Sales (And What To Do Instead)
Have you set a premium price for your signature service? If so, do you think it’s a good idea to dilute your services or offer discounts to get potential clients through the door? Breaking your signature service into little bits and pieces may seem like a good idea. It allows you to offer more products at lower price points. However, it’s not providing clients with the entire process. And the truth is: discounting your prices can destroy your sales in the long run. In today’s episode, I’m going to be diving into the three reasons why discounting can cause you harm and what you should be focusing on instead. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Conveying confidence - If you’re discounting prices then you need to consider the message you’re sending to potential clients. By cutting prices, you’re suggesting that you’re not 100% confident that you can deliver the results you’re promising. Cutting into profit - Your job as a business owner is to generate cash flow and discounting reduces profit. Furthermore, if you’re slashing prices then you may start to resent clients that are giving less than they’re getting. Help prospects understand your value - How do you communicate a value that lets prospects know exactly what their return on investment will be? If they can’t see your true value then it’s your job to help them to see it. Enhance your positioning - If you’ve raised your rates then your positioning needs to be crystal clear. What makes you uniquely different from the competition? Your marketing needs to overcome the majority of sales objections before you get on a sales call. Believe in yourself - If there’s a part of you that lacks confidence then you have to stop making decisions based on fear and discomfort. If you’re selling a high-ticket item then you’re someone who knows the value you bring to the table… So start acting like it. Start believing in yourself! And lots more! Tune in now.

103. Do You Feel Guilty About Making More Money?
If you’ve had a hard time raising your rates and getting the compensation you deserve, then you’re going to want to tune in to this episode. I’ll be sharing some key insights and practical tools to help you get over the guilt and claim what’s rightfully yours. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: You’re capable of rewriting your story - If you have a limiting belief that comes from your past, you have the ability to change it. Are you projecting - Make sure you don’t project your limiting money beliefs onto your potential clients. Don’t make the buying decision for them. Articulate your value and let them decide for themselves. What is your intention? - If you really cared about providing excellent service and helping your clients achieve massive transformations, then you wouldn’t care about getting paid what you deserve. Is your true intention to serve? If so, the more money you make, the greater your ability to serve. You can’t help anyone if you’re broke. How to break a limiting mindset - After identifying each of your limiting money beliefs and their origins, ask yourself whether they are true? Are they serving you today? If not, you can let them go. How much money is enough? - Why do you need to put a cap on how much money you can have? This is another example of a limiting belief. Why would you want to limit how many millions of dollars you have when you’re not even a millionaire yet? Don’t restrict yourself in the present by putting a limit on your future. And lots more! Tune in now. Every day, we help coaches and DFY providers, like you, transform their 1:1 service into a SUSTAINABLE online coaching business that is set up to automate the necessary aspects of your offer so you have the energy to show up, serve your clients and increase your business growth month after month.

102. Why This Copy Writer Bounced Back After Burning Down Her Successful Agency with Jamie Jensen
Today’s episode features the amazing Jamie Jenson, who is sooo much more than a copywriter. She's an award-winning screenwriter, storyteller, mentor, and entrepreneur who founded a digital marketing agency that grew 50% year after year for 3 straight years. Not only does she strive to serve clients to the best of her ability but she leads with her heart. You’ll find her insight and perspective are incredibly inspiring... Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Have fun - While writing the copy for her first business website, Jamie noticed she was having so much fun. It was a no-brainer to provide this service to other businesses and brands. Do what you love and you’ll greatly increase the likelihood of success. Raising the rates - After establishing her business, Jamie had to have several significant shifts in her mindset to raise her rates as she became more business-like in her approach. She came to realize that her services were helping people make more money and she started to take notice of what other people in the market were charging. Creating processes while serving - When creating her agency, Jamie was very committed to creating strict processes that her team and clients would follow. Even though they were rigid, these processes kept things moving forward and allowed client projects to be completed successfully. Follow your heart, not your ego - While leading her agency, Jamie began to lose excitement about growing the business. Even though her ego loved being an “agency owner”, her heart didn’t want to pursue it. This led to her going back to what she loved most... working directly with clients to help tell their stories. Accepting money lost - Jamie has a refreshing perspective on money that she’s “lost” in the past. Even if you spend big on something that doesn’t work out, consider the lessons you’ve learned. Accept that not all your choices will work out the way you want. And lots more! Tune in now. Raising your rate takes more effort than just deciding on a new price.

101. Choose Your Clients Wisely
Choosing your clients wisely will not only make you more successful in business, but it can be the difference between happiness and unhappiness in everyday life. In this episode, I’m going to be sharing how you can go about overcoming any resistance when it comes to choosing your clients more wisely. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Do you have a fear of freedom? - While working in the corporate world, many people crave the freedom of choice. However, when they get it, they can often have a fear of making choices for themselves and being decisive. The power of being selective - The more selective you become when choosing your clients, the better the clients are that you attract. This works in the same way as dating: if you’re willing to accept anyone, you’re probably not going to find the world’s best life partner. Learn to filter and be selective. Get clear and specific - Define who your ideal client is and decide what problem you’re solving. When you begin effectively articulating the solution you’re providing, the right client will find you. Is it a good fit? - There are a number of questions you need to ask yourself when you’re assessing a client. If you’re going to be coaching them, are they going to be committed to achieving the result? Are they a good fit for you and your personality? How to reject a client - Rather than straight-up rejecting a potential client, be honest and explain how you may not be the right person to help them achieve the results they want. Be positive and refer them to a more appropriate service provider if possible. And lots more! Tune in now. Want some help scaling your group coaching program at a price you’re proud of?

Here are a few key highlights: Getting to a point of clarity - Tarah had to put in a lot of work to refine and streamline her approach until she reached a point of clarity. It can take a lot of effort before you find your ideal niche. Going live on Facebook - Even though her clients aren’t generally hanging out on Facebook, doing live videos on the platform allowed her to get super clear on her message and gain a deep understanding of potential talking points.

98. The Missing Link: Why You Aren't Seeing Consistent Cashflow In Your Coaching Business
Consistent cash flow is something we all look for when starting a business. At the end of the day, you want to see that all your hard work and sacrifice is reflected in your bank account. This episode is going to give you the missing link to ensure you’re not wasting time and you’re doing what needs to be done in order to get the results you want. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Be visible - One of the main reasons why coaches struggle to consistently sell is because they’re not consistently visible. If you want to enroll clients, you have to put yourself out there on a regular basis. You will enroll new clients at the rate at which you’re consistently selling your service - How often are you talking to strangers and selling your services? If you’re spending all your time playing it safe and planning behind closed doors then you can’t expect to see any results. Just because you know something, doesn’t mean you can apply it - While having knowledge is great, if you’re not taking action then you will not be able to move forward. Sometimes, signing up for a coaching program and being around others that will hold you accountable can make all the difference. Are your doors open? - If you have a brick and mortar business you have to open the doors to allow potential customers to walk in and talk with you. With an online business, you have to open your door and talk to prospects using other tools such as online videos, social media comments, and sales calls. Are you leveraging your content? - You can leverage content by taking a piece of core content and repurposing it in many different ways. This is a great way of the impression that you’re always open for business. And lots more! Tune in now. You and I both know that it’s time that you take full ownership of your expertise.

97. Daily Discomfort: The Price Of Success
Do you have any idea what’s required for you to evolve and grow as a person? Service provider? CEO? This is what I’m going to be tackling during this episode. It’s particularly important if you find yourself with any limiting beliefs, or if you have a lot of people around you who don’t understand what’s going on. Throughout this episode, I’m going to be addressing some of these beliefs and challenging your perspective to get you into a state of discomfort and on the path to success… Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Is it hard to make new friends as an adult? - When you need to upgrade the people around you, making new friends can seem hard. But, it’s not. I just think it’s uncomfortable, so why not go out there and introduce yourself, join a group coaching session, and get active in the Facebook Group. Daily discomfort is the price of success - It’s so easy to label things as being hard and giving up before we get started as we let the fear build up. But, if you’re willing to push through the comfort over and over again, then you’re setting yourself up for success. You don’t get what you want, you get what you deserve - Getting from where you are to where you want to be is a road of daily discomfort. There will be sacrifices necessary. You have to voluntarily coach yourself by putting yourself in positions of discomfort. Have faith - Are you willing to believe in something even when there is no evidence to support it? You’re highly unlikely to have evidence when you’re trying to achieve something brand new to you. This is where a little faith is required. Start by finding gaps in your business - When you want to upgrade your circle, think about your objective. A great way to do this is to identify gaps in your business that need to be filled. Find appropriate mentors or coaches in these fields, and sign up for their live events or join their group coaching sessions. And lots more! Tune in now.

96. From Influencer To Industry Leading Agency Owner with Shannae Ingleton
This episode features the wonderful Shannae Ingleton, an entrepreneur who serves as a glowing example of how to take the lessons learned from the corporate world and apply them to entreprenuership. She not only quit her job to start a business but then returned to the corporate world in order to fully learn about what it took to run a successful business. On top of being a leading influencer, Shannae is also the co-founder of Kensington Grey, a boutique influencer agency that manages and negotiates sponsorship deals on behalf of clients. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: More than an idea - Shannae realized there’s more to being an entrepreneur than merely having a good idea and getting people to show up at her events. Due to spending more than she was making, she needed to return to the corporate world to learn about what it took to run a business. The benefits of a corporate job - Shannae used her corporate job as an excellent learning experience. Not only did it provide her with a steady paycheck, but also allowed her to add to her skill set and expertise. Are you creating quality and compelling content? - After working alongside many editors and creative individuals, Shanae learned that when you create genuine, high-quality content, it attracts both fans and sponsors. Build a support group - Shannae started a group of like-minded influencers which has grown to around 200 members. This open-minded network allows each member to grow and flourish as resources and expertise get shared. Shannae’s advice for attracting sponsors - When you’re unique, genuine and obsessed about providing value for your audience, you will grow and have a super-engaged tribe following you. And lots more!

95. Will You Choose Comfort or Courage?
This episode is all about what you need to do when reaching these low points because you will have to decide whether you’re going to choose comfort or courage in your journey. The thing that separates those who have, from those who “have not”, is a decision that’s made on a daily basis. You have to be committed to achieving your goals and making your dreams come true… every single day! Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: The end result - So many people glorify the result, yet people rarely talk about the daily discipline, sacrifice, and dedication that’s required to get there. Seasons change - If you’re on a path of growth then it’s natural to find yourself going through various seasons of change. Sometimes things get tough and you have to accept, understand and embrace it. Stop waiting for circumstances to change - Things aren’t always going to flow smoothly. Sometimes, when things get tough, you have to stop waiting for inspiration to fall from the sky or for things to magically get better. You have to push through the times of discomfort. You already have what you need - Everything you need to achieve your goals, you already have inside of you. Most of the time, you know what to do… You just need to actually go out there and do it. There’s nothing shameful about needing help - Growth requires a lot of faith and there’s no shame in admitting you need help when times are tough. If you have control over everything, then maybe you’re operating in life with too much comfort. If you’re always comfortable then you can never expect to grow. And lots more! Tune in now. Every day, we help coaches and DFY providers, like you, transform their 1:1 service into a SUSTAINABLE online coaching business that is set up to automate the necessary aspects of your offer so you have the energy to show up, serve your clients and increase your business growth month after month.

94. Side Hustle To Main Hustle: What's Required To Replace Your Salary
Is it possible for a side hustle to become your primary source of income? Absolutely! But it takes a certain amount of commitment to get there, as well as a particular mindset. You have to show up consistently, even on the days that you don’t want to, and especially when you don’t feel like it. On today’s episode I’m breaking down exactly what’s required to make your side hustle your main hustle. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode is extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Answer this question first - Is your intention to do a bit of hustling and make some money on the side or do you genuinely want to build a long-term, sustainable business? You have to make this decision before moving forward. Be realistic about the numbers - How much money do you need to replace your current paycheck? Replacing your income is what will give you financial freedom. It should be your first financial goal before setting any bigger, “get super rich” goals. The path of least resistance - What’s the quickest, simplest path you can take to where you get freedom of choice? This is why I’m such a big advocate of selling high-ticket offers. Having only two or three clients, each paying you over a thousand dollars a month means you have the capacity to attract these clients and serve them to the best of your ability. What can you do organically to attract clients? - If you’re working full time and just getting started with your side hustle, then you probably don’t have the cash to pay for paid ads. Make sure you can handle the back-end - Growing too fast can kill your business. Being great at sales and signing up a lot of clients is great for revenue, but you need to be able to take care of the back end to ensure you can handle the clients you’re getting. And lots more! Tune in now. Raising your rate takes more effort than just deciding on a new price. Then comes the work of addressing the objections, effectively articulating your value in your marketing content, and designing curriculum that delivers on the promise you sold the client into.

91. How She Overcame The Fear Factor in Pricing & Surpassed Six Figures with Kyshira Moffett
This episode features the wonderful Kyshira Moffett who runs a program called the Founders Circle, working with freelancers and entrepreneurs to help them create their first packaged offer and sell via social media using an interactive sales method. Before she would feel overwhelmed in her business, she now has an excited and optimistic outlook. You can hear the clarity and passion in her voice as she talks us through her inspirational success story. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Where’s the money? - Even though Kyshira had an abundance of glowing testimonials, she still struggled to believe in her own value. She had plenty of clients but this wasn’t reflected in her bank balance. She had to change her outlook on money and put a price tag on the value she delivered.. Attracting better clients - After setting her higher price point, Kyshira noticed the clients she now attracted were much more passionate and willing to put in the work. This, in turn, encouraged Kyshira to level-up herself. Where is your focus? - Over the last few years, Kyshira’s business model has evolved. Being at full capacity and not being able to fully enjoy her life to the fullest led her to narrow most of her focus on her one core offering. Choose a coaching program for your level - Kyshira has worked with several coaches, with varying degrees of success. However, with Services That Sell, she found the right coaching program that was suited to where she was at, helping her to get to the next level. Slow down to move forward - Kyshira had to make a mental shift when she was at full capacity. By cutting down on one-on-ones, she freed up space in her calendar, allowing her to prioritize her time more effectively and move forward in her business. And lots more! Tune in now.

90. Should You Create A Course Or A Coaching Program?
In this episode I’m going to break down with full transparency what’s required to create and sell each of these offers. If you’re exploring different business models (or you’re shifting back and forth) then this episode is a must listen. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Get some clarity - First off, you have to clearly articulate what it is that you actually do. Too many people are confused by trying to offer a variety of services and are unclear on what their true offer is. How to price a course? - Courses are typically more of a DIY experience as your clients will be working though the course by themselves. Also, clients don’t tend to have access to the course creator and the pricing point should reflect the level of support What is a coaching program? - A coaching program tends to have a framework (like a course) but there will typically be a coach or various support methods as you work through the program. Evolution of the industry - Today’s consumer has come to realize that signing up for a course may not lead to any results and is generally willing to pay over $2k for a coach that’s going to assist and hold them accountable. Are you ready to build a course? - If you don’t have a proven, step-by-step framework then you’re not ready to build a course. Until you get to the course-building stage, however, coaching is a great way to develop your framework while generating revenue. What if you’re an introvert? - While you have to respect your personality, if you want to be a coach or a teacher then you have to show up in your business, whether it’s via live video, podcasts, or another effective communication medium. And lots more! Tune in now. You and I both know that it’s time that you take full ownership of your expertise. Finally learn how to clarify your program promise, articulate your value, and organically launch your $3k - $10k group coaching program. Click here to learn more about how we can help.

89. 4 Pillars Of Building A $200k+ Coaching Practice In 12 Months or Less
Today’s episode is going to be very helpful for you if you already have your business up and running and you’re making money. It’s not that hard to hustle your way to six figures if you’re willing to grind it out and put in the work. But what about when you want to grow to $200k and more? Going above and beyond requires a different way of thinking and focus. That’s where the 4 Pillars come into play. Grab your notebook and get ready for some nuggets of information coming your way. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode is extremely actionable and insightful. Here is a quick summary of the four pillars: Simplicity - Is your business model too complex? If you’re selling multiple offers and having to work around the clock - the answer is yes. It’s time to cut back on your offers and do less, by putting all your focus into your single, flagship service. Sales - You need to be a BEAST at sales… and no, I’m not talking about the sleazy-car salesman stereotype. It’s all about making contact with your ideal customer as frequently as possible. Educating yourself on sales psychology and how people make buying decisions is crucial. Systems - When you’re hustling your way to your first six figures, it’s likely that you’re running forward non-stop and haven’t even thought about building systems. If you’re constantly doing repeat tasks manually then you need to be automating or delegating them. Document your processes and focus your time on what matters. Support - You can’t get there alone. When you want to get to $200k and more, you have to ask yourself: “what support do I need?” Do you need a coach to advise you? What team members do you need around you? Do you need legal and accounting advice? What do you need to make sure you’re being your “best self”? And lots more! Tune in now.

I was laying in bed, 2:00am on a Sunday morning when I recorded this voice memo, sharing thoughts after having an in-depth conversation with a group of friends about the racial wealth gap. This is an uncut and raw dialogue sharing how I am leveraging my business to make strides towards closing the wealth gap, and how much perspective has changed over the past 3 years of being in business. Raising your rate takes more effort than just deciding on a new price.

84. How To Pay Yourself & Earn Profit First In Your Coaching Business With Mike Michalowicz
It’s been a long time coming, but here with me on today’s episode is Mike Michalowcz. If you follow me regularly, then you will have heard me mention his name on multiple occasions. Mike is the author of a bunch of first-class business books, including Profit First and Clockwork, that I highly recommend you read. His Profit First method will simplify your finances and ensure that you pay yourself what you deserve from day one, and never miss a tax payment. It doesn’t matter if it’s as little as 1%, you must start paying yourself immediately. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Entrepreneurial poverty – Telling your friends that you’re an entrepreneur may give them an image of you being rich and living the high-life. In reality, most entrepreneurs are working all hours, highly stressed and struggling to survive. Mike’s mission is to close this gap. He believes you can live a great life and avoid working 16-hour days if you run things efficiently. Every dollar has multiple responsibilities – You have to pay bills, taxes, your own compensation, and make a profit. Traditionally, profit is calculated by taking your sales and subtracting everything you spend. This makes logical sense. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit with human nature. Mike recommends flipping the formula. For everything you earn, a certain percentage goes straight to your profit account. Multiple bank accounts – To better align your business finances with human nature, Mike suggests having multiple bank accounts. He recommends that you have separate accounts for: receiving deposits (sales), paying your profit, owner’s compensation (your salary for running the business), paying taxes, and operating expenses. This gives you immediate clarity on how you can use your money. Your operating expenses are what you have to spend in the business after you’ve taken care of yourself. This forces you to try to improve your margins and make more money.

83. No Excuses: How To Hold Yourself Accountable To An Outcome Not Just A List Of Tasks
Do you ever find yourself falling short when it comes to getting the results you desire? Today’s episode is all about being accountable for oneself, and I’ll be dipping into my five building blocks to build accountability. This episode may be a reality check for a lot of you, but I think it’s going to help out a great deal. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Why are you starting your own business? - Why do you want to start your own business vs being an employee? If you want to be in charge of your destiny and build something for yourself, great! If, on the other hand, you simply don’t want to have a boss who’s holding you accountable, then you could be in for a shock when you become your own boss. See the bigger picture - Accountability isn’t merely about completing a list of tasks. It’s about being committed to seeing the objective through to completion. While getting the day-to-day tasks finished is essential, you have to understand how they relate to the bigger picture. Without the bigger picture in place, you can’t be accountable for achieving the overall objectives that will define your success. How to make yourself accountable - Without a crystal clear expectation, it’s impossible to be accountable. Don’t just say you want more money, say exactly how much money you want and when you want to have earned it by. Your goals have to be measurable. Then you need to know how to go about achieving your goals. You have to be realistic about your capabilities and your capacity. Often, this means saying “no” to people who aren’t helping you get closer to your goal since you only have so much time and energy in a given day. Your fear of asking for help can lead to failure - I get it! Many of you were forced to be self-sufficient in early life and have been doing a great job in taking care of yourselves without ever asking for help. Understand that business doesn’t work like this. If you’re used to going it alone and refusing to ask for help then you need a shift in mindset. The importance of feedback - Feedback is essential and you have to get it regularly. Without honest feedback, how do you know whether you’re on track to achieving your goals? Beware though, if you’re asking for feedback from a spouse, bestie, a friend’s grandmother, or anyone that has no business experience. Make sure you get your feedback from people with relevant expertise and those who understand your context. If you don’t have any business-minded friends to ask, then join a mastermind group, hire a coach, or go out and make yourself some new friends. In Services That Sell I’m always personally holding my members accountable. And lots more!

82. Pulling Back To Scale Forward With Courtney Sanders
Today’s episode features none other than the first-ever business coach that I hired after getting serious about my business. She’s full of inspirational wisdom and you’re not going to want to miss what she has to say. Starting out as a blogger, Courtney Sanders was initially writing about hair-care and eventually more about personal development. After more and more people came to her for business advice, she got into business coaching. Now she’s transformed her whole business model and is an inspiration for anyone who wants to build a super-successful business that’s in line with their ethics and values. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Unhealthy growth – When Courtney began coaching, her primary focus was in growing her business and helping her clients to grow their businesses. While growth is important, she realized that a lot of her clients were failing in other areas of their lives. Solely focusing on growth can be unhealthy. From here she took a step back and re-evaluated things. She realized that her clients needed more than what she was giving them. Are you aligned with your business? - Courtney was able to help people make money. She had the tools and tactics to get the financial results that her clients wanted. However, doing things in this way wasn’t aligned with her core values and what she wanted her brand to be about. Even though she felt a lot of friction from her clients, she pivoted and focused on becoming a coach in all areas of life as opposed to merely focusing on money. What’s your current state? – Courtney talks about a time in her life when she was comfortably making six figures, yet she was waking up late with low energy and not feeling particularly happy or vibrant. If you’re continually feeling low on enthusiasm, you need to question yourself and reflect. Even though running a business is difficult and challenging, it should bring you a lot of passion and joy. If you’re not feeling completely energized about getting up in the morning and getting to work, consider whether you need to pivot into an area you feel passionate and energized about. Streamlining – While pregnant, Courtney realized she didn’t want to spend her time doing things that she didn’t particularly enjoy.

81. Credibility Is The New Currency
Today’s episode is going to help you align yourself to the modern strategies and attitudes that are required to flourish in business. Consumers are doing their research. They have countless options and have their own opinions about what they want. They’re not going to buy based on the charisma of a salesman anymore. That’s why, as someone selling professional services in the online space, you have to understand that credibility is the new currency. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Closing a sale is just the beginning - There are so many courses that help you to go out there, pull the trigger, and close the deal to get your first sale. While this is important, getting the sale is just the beginning of the relationship, It’s not the end goal. That’s why you have to build credibility into your sales process. Your brand isn’t a logo or a service – It’s important to focus less on what your service is and more on what problem you solve. You need to have a specific niche that your product or service caters to. Your product or logo isn’t what differentiates you in the market. The problem you solve is what differentiates you. Services That Sell has a proven method to help you get crystal clear on this and to align your message with your ideal customer. Being credible before the sale - You need consistency with human-to-human connection. Are you consistently being visible? Are you consistently adding value? Is there consistency on your core messaging throughout your social media posts? Your content needs to be consistent with how buyers make decisions and if you’re not putting yourself out there and adding value to the audience in front of you then you will quickly lose that audience. Your content needs to be purposeful and it needs to show how you can get people consistent results Being credible after the sale - Selling is not the end goal. Maintaining credibility after the sale, therefore, means you have to have a documented, proven process in place that will get your client the results they desire and expect. You have to deliver on your promise. By doing so, you’re building on your credibility and setting yourself up for the next sale. Giving your services for free - There’s a common conception that you have to initially give away your services for free in order to earn credibility. I’m very skeptical about this practice, especially when it comes to the coaching business. If no transaction takes place, your client probably won’t be fully committed to putting in the work that’s required of them to get the results they want. Therefore, giving away your services for free like this can hurt your credibility. And lots more!

80. How This Full-time Academic Researcher Got Booked Out & Banked Over $12,000 In Less Than 3 Months With Kemi Doll
My special guest on this episode, Kemi Doll, has been crushing it as of late! And she’s here today to give you some insight into how she’s getting it done. Kemi went down the route of trying to sell her offer through a complicated email funnel. Just before launching, however, she found Services That Sell and decided to change her approach. She flipped the funnel, re-packaging all her content to create a real service that would get real results for her clients. Now, she’s completely booked up for the rest of the year. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Make a commitment - Upon signing up for Services That Sell, Kemi was committed to learning all the content of the course, regardless of how uncomfortable it would make her feel. If you sign up for a course or any kind of coaching program, you have to be committed. Be willing to answer some difficult questions. Promise one result - Kemi had trouble niching down. Even though her target audience was already small, the result she was promising was still vague. That’s when she started using results-focused language, making her promise of “Get that grant!” It was a very specific result and would force her to become committed to her clients. Promising a clear, tangible and measurable result takes true courage. Willing to fail – Despite being terrified at times, Kemi has a willingness to try new things out, even if it could mean failure. This is the perfect attitude for growth, especially if you’re following a proven methodology. She learns from each and every action, whether it’s posting on social media, going live on Facebook or having sales calls. If you truly want to help people, you will succeed – According to Kemi, the difference between someone that has success in Services That Sell vs someone that doesn’t is the desire and passion to go out there and serve. If you just want to make money, it’s much harder to be successful, because the courage and drive come from a deep desire to help people.

79. You Have To Get Rich Before You Build Wealth
Why did you decide to start your business? Did you start out with a desire to completely change your financial situation and build wealth? If so, today’s episode is essential listening. Entrepreneurship gives you a fast track when it comes to getting rich in a relatively short space of time. However, getting rich and building wealth aren’t the same thing. If you want to play the game of building wealth (and you weren’t born into a wealthy family), you need to get rich first. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: What does it mean to be rich? – Being rich can be both in terms of mindset and being financially rich. The two are not mutually exclusive. If you’re making over $100,000 a year then you can consider yourself rich. What does it mean to be wealthy? – Being wealthy goes far beyond being rich. When you’re truly wealthy, you will have such an abundance of financial wealth that the generation that comes after you will be taken care of for life. How to build wealth – Once you’re earning enough money to pay for the lifestyle you want, you can begin to build wealth, by taking your excess profit and investing it in assets, such as property, stocks, and investment funds. But, to begin to build wealth, you have to get rich first. The power of leverage – You can get rich incredibly quickly. My signature program, Services That Sell, has had countless members who are making big bucks from offering their services. However, the next step is to take what you’ve already got and leverage it. This is how you can multiply your earnings. And lots more! Tune in now.

78. How This Digital Marketing Agency Is Racking In Millions For Her (And Her Clients) With Emily Hirsh
Today, you’re in for a treat. This episode features an extra special guest, Emily Hirsh, who’s a very big deal in the world of online marketing. She’s been working with top-level influencers and game-changing entrepreneurs through her full suite marketing management company. After developing her revolutionary “Hirsh” method, she’s made a ton of money for her clients, allowing her business has gone from strength to strength Even though Emily is now at the helm of a multi-million dollar business, four years ago she was a virtual assistant, managing email and calendars. She used to use freelance websites to get clients, before getting involved with Facebook groups. This is how she grew, building relationships on Facebook while learning everything there is to know about Facebook ads. Her passion and commitment to mastery in the Facebook ad field allowed her to become a dominant force in her niche. Emily has succeeded by focusing on one goal at a time. She also makes sure her whole team are united and focused with her. While it’s great to have long-term goals, she ensures that these goals are broken down into short-term, specific, and realistic objectives that her team can easily follow. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: When to say no - There comes a point where you have to start saying no to new clients. In the early days, this isn’t necessarily the case. Emily spent her first year on Facebook saying yes to everything. Offering a vast array of services, she was able to hone in on her niche, learning what she liked and disliked in the process. Once you’ve found your niche, it’s important to double-down and say “no” to clients who want something different from what you’re offering. Getting your hands in the dirt - Emily may have a dedicated team working for her now, but she spent the early days doing everything herself. Two intense years of working for clients and gaining essential experience now means she has the wisdom and experience to lead her team in the right direction. You still have to do the work - While Emily recognized the need to hire a coach, she asserts that doing so isn’t like a magic button that will solve all your problems. An excellent coach will give you quality advice and help you take things to the next level.

77. The Difference Between Working In Your Business Vs Working On Your Business
Are you ready to become a CEO? If the answer is yes, then how do you go about planning your day in order to get things done that will ultimately get you the results you desire? Today’s episode is a masterclass on the differences between working ON your business and working IN your business. I discuss what each of them entails and how to get the right balance. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. It’s packed with advice and guidance for anyone who wants to develop and sharpen their CEO thinking process. Highlights include: Plan the process - It’s easy to get caught up in planning what you want the result to look like. What’s equally important is planning the process. This includes how to best leverage your time and energy on a day to day basis. This ensures you stay focused on what’s going to make a difference. Working on your business - Working on your business is all about strategic planning. It relates to setting goals, personal development and working on the skill sets that you need to reach the next level. It includes reflecting on what has happened so far, and deciding what changes you need to make moving forward. If you have a team working for you, then you will also need to spend time delegating tasks and helping your staff develop. Working in your business - The day to day operations are what we’re referring to when we talk about working in your business. This can include anything from responding to social media comments to bookkeeping. Shifting from an employee mindset - If you used to be (or still are) an employee then you’re probably more accustomed to working in a business. Working on your business, therefore, may not come naturally. That’s OK though. If this is the case, you have to build your skills, stamina, and relevant knowledge over time. Making the time - When planning out your schedule, you need to ensure you devote adequate time to work on your business. Even though the ratio of time spent working on vs in your business changes from season to season, practice intentionally carving out space for working on top-level decision making and goal setting. This will ensure your hard work always stays focused in the right direction. And lots more! Tune in now. Want some help scaling your group coaching program at a price you’re proud of?

76. How This Project Manager Mastered The Art Of Closing High Ticket Clients And Doubled Her Monthly Income With Danielle Adams
Today’s episode features the success story of Danielle Adams, an organizational specialist and expert in efficiency who managed to establish her own company, Divine Inspirations Professional Services while learning to generate the income that her services deserve. Her passion is contagious and she’s a great inspiration for anyone who’s thinking of starting a business, or if you’re ready to take your existing business to the next level. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Build around your passion - Danielle is a great example of how to build a business that’s based around what you’re good at and what you’re passionate about. By the time she established her business, she was already an expert in her field and loved what she did. Enjoying what you do makes it so much easier to become successful. Take a step of faith - While Danielle confesses she didn’t know entirely what she was doing when starting her business, she had so much passion and was willing to take action. This is what makes her success inevitable. A shift in mindset - Before enrolling in Services That Sell, Danielle had only made a few dollars in her business, despite getting plenty of qualified leads on the phone. Once her mindset changed, she understood the true value in what she was offering. By charging a price that reflected her worth, she started making a lot more money. Serving your clients vs selling your services - Danielle continues to work hard in developing her ability to service her clients. Becoming a master of your craft is essential if you want to provide your clients with outstanding service. However, if you don’t know how to sell your services then you won’t have any paying clients to serve. Serving your clients and selling your services are complementary skill sets that are both essential in this game. How can you lose anything when you’re investing in yourself? - Danielle has an excellent mindset.

75. What Does It Mean To Actually Scale Your Business
What do you think it means to scale your business? In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the most important elements in your business to determine whether you’re ready or not, and break down what it actually means to scale your business. In order to scale, you have to have three core areas in place: You need to be able to attract qualified leads to your business. This doesn’t just mean marketing your services to the general public, but communicating the problem you solve to qualified leads who would benefit from what you’re offering. You need to be able to convert your qualified leads into clients. You have to close the sale. I’ve found the best way to do this, by far, is through sales calls. It’s a tried and tested method that’s been proven time and time again. You need to be able to deliver your service consistently, utilizing a proven and documented methodology. Because customizing and having to change the way you do things with each client isn’t efficient. In my signature program, Services That Sell, I help my clients to get these three areas mastered. Without having these foundations in place, there’s no point in trying to scale. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Making more money vs scaling - A lot of people mistake scaling with making more money. They’re not the same thing. Most of us are at a point where we’re ready to make more money, but not where we’re ready to scale. In fact, making more money is a by-product of successful scaling. Start with 1 on 1 - In the early days, working with clients in a 1 on 1 format is the best way forward. It allows you to charge a premium price while you’re developing your process and refining your methodology. Going through this process will eventually put you in an excellent place to scale your business. Always focus on the next step - If you don’t have a documented methodology, then focus on getting one. If you have plenty of qualified leads but no sales, then you need to learn how to close the sale. Always ask yourself: what’s the most important “next step” to move forward in my business? Don’t waste time on things like PR if you’re not yet achieving the results that warrant getting this kind of exposure. How much capital? - You shouldn’t need to raise any capital if you’re selling a service. If you were to develop a physical product then that’s another story. If you’re selling a service you should be able to fund your business yourself. Profit margins are usually ridiculously high in service businesses. This means that scaling can be achieved by reinvesting your profits and avoiding external financing. And lots more!

73. Lessons Learned From Masterminding With Millionaires
Ever wondered what it’s like to have a millionaire mindset? Well, I’ve been on the road for the last few days and have had the opportunity to mastermind with some high-performing millionaires. Fresh off of this experience, I wanted to use this episode to talk about four common characteristics that I noticed all these people having. Even though their personalities differed greatly from one another, these four characteristics were unwavering. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are the four millionaire-mindset characteristics that I discuss in detail: Ability to focus - All of these individuals made their initial money from one or two signature offerings. They didn’t spread their focus over a range of services or products. Instead, they harnessed all of their energy into selling one service, perfecting their methodology. Learn to focus on what’s in front of you and concentrate on the task at hand. Don’t get distracted. Simplicity - When asked what service they provide or what problem they solve, they’re able to articulate it with ease. Within a few seconds of listening, you know whether or not you need what they’re offering. It’s important to learn how to articulate the problem you solve by keeping it as simple as possible. There’s no need to complicate things. Forever learning - The mindset of welcoming any opportunity to learn and improve regardless of your level is something that really sets the millionaire apart. Think about professional athletes. The likes of Kobe Bryant, Serena Williams, and Micheal Jordan spend hours and hours practicing and improving their skills before they even step foot on the court for game-time. Learn to practice the skills you need in business and adopt a forever learning mentality. Decisiveness - Millionaires are quick to make decisions once they’ve reviewed their options. However, the ability to make a decision is something that takes practice over time, especially when you’re starting out in business and don’t yet have all the necessary data available to you. Don’t be reckless in your decisions. That being said, you need to learn through trial and error by learning to be decisive. Making the wrong decision helps you learn and grow. Don’t be afraid of failure. In my opinion, doing nothing at all is the worst type of failure. And lots more! Tune in now.

69. Do You Have What It Takes To Be In The 1%? What Separates The Good From The Great?
There are certain habits that you have to get rid of if you want to join the top 1%. You have to be willing to make a commitment to your goals. A commitment that ensures you won’t be giving up until you’ve gotten to where you want to be. Things may take time, but don’t give up. Aim for greatness and be willing to do what it takes to get there. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: The recipe for change - A commitment with no follow through is like a prayer that goes unanswered. If you want to make a significant change in any area of your life, you have to make a commitment and then take action in some way. How hungry are you? - Imagine if you had zero options other than to start a business and be successful at it. Imagine if business success is the only way you’re going to put food on the table. If you’re fearing commitment, this will allow your survival instinct to kick in as you tell yourself you have no other options. If you’re hungry enough, you’ll find a way to succeed. Don’t delete the post - Once you’ve made a commitment and taken action, don’t allow fear to cause you to step backward and reverse all the good you’ve done. This happens way too often when I see people go live on Facebook, only to delete the post a few minutes later. Don’t delete the post! Keep it up and focus on making each subsequent post better than the last. Show up consistently and the money will follow - If you’re truly committed to being the best at what you do, then you’ll get paid. You simply have to keep showing up and be willing to put the work in until things work out. The likes of Michael Jordan never stopped working, through the good and the bad. Never give up and keep showing up! You’re not basic, average, and simple - Make the commitment to be great! While it’s natural to fear that everyone is watching over your shoulder and waiting for you to slip up, in reality it doesn’t happen that way. People are more concerned about their own problems and how they look. Never allow basic, average, and simple people to hold you back... Ever! And lots more! Tune in now.

68. Facebook Freak Out: What To Do When Social Media Shuts Down & The Importance Of Your Email List
I felt the need to dedicate this episode to my beloved social media platform after seeing a lot of ridiculousness following some recent issues where Facebook wasn’t functioning quite to its usual high standards. There’s no crisis going on. If Facebook is your preferred platform, then I’m here to reassure you that everything’s gonna be OK. There is no social media Armageddon on the horizon. You don’t have to follow the advice that some people are putting out by abandoning Facebook and focusing on an email list. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Facebook literally is social media - With over 2 billion daily users and with the likes of Instagram and Whatsapp part of the organization, Facebook pretty much IS social media. While people may try to paint a picture of instability, Facebook is simply too big to fail. There’s too much money to be made and too much at stake. How often do you show up for your business? - Facebook has been providing a high-level, game-changing service for the last decade. It literally shows up 24/7, time and time again, every single day without fail. So what if it went through a little downtime for a period of a few hours. Was there ever a time in your business life when you haven’t shown up? Do you ever take the occasional off-day? I know I do. Please, give Facebook a break. Were you even being productive? - For all the people hating on Facebook, were you even on there being productive? Were you there trying to go live and represent your business? Did you sign on with the intention of posting content that would convert and lead to future clients experiencing life-changing transformations? Or, were you merely on there to browse photos and click the like button? Transactional content - When you create a piece of content, do you ask yourself why you’re doing it? While a cute photo or catchy quote may get plenty of likes and shares, beware of the difference between posting content for the sake of it and posting transactional content. Transactional content has a clear call to action and is designed in a way that’s going to get results for your business. How important is your email list? - For many businesses, an email list is very important. However, if you’re only just starting out then what good is a big email list if you don’t know what to do with it? In the early stages, it’s far more important to figure out the problem your solving and convey your value to your ideal customer. Facebook Live is the ideal channel to make this happen. Email lists are important and do have a role to play. But only once you’ve reached that stage of your business evolution. And lots more! Tune in now.

67. How This Copywriter Overcame Adversity To Build A Highly Demanded, Boutique Business With Five-figure Offerings With Prerna Malik
My special guest today is Prerna Malik who is one of the best copywriters in the game and currently runs Content Bistro, along with her husband. They explored the idea of providing blogging and social media management services to small businesses. Through hard work and dedication, things were going well. It was when Prerna decided to niche down and go from a general blog writer to focusing on being a conversion copywriter that things really started to pick up. She’s since become a master in the copywriting world. So much so that she has a long line of businesses wanting to pay her five figures for her services. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Solid work ethic - You can have all the tools in the world but without a solid work ethic, you can’t expect success. Even though Prerna lives in India and English is her second language, she is able to write world-class copy for the English speaking world. There’s no substitute for work ethic when it comes to overcoming obstacles and achieving your goals. The personal touch - Prerna would work tirelessly to identify potential clients by looking for businesses that would be a good fit and didn’t have a solid blog or social media presence. By writing out each prospective email separately, the personal touch went a long way to winning over clients. Packaging your service - Selling a standalone service doesn’t allow you to charge anywhere near as much as selling a package of services. When Prerna started to package her services, her sales shot up dramatically. Her clients were far more excited and enthusiastic about the prospect of purchasing a “package”. Don’t be Beyoncé on day 1 - In the early days, while you don’t have to scrape the barrel, it’s also not wise to charge super high prices until you can justify the value that you’re providing. Prerna can now charge $13,000 for a service she provides, but that’s because she’s backed up with years of experience, technical ability, and countless case studies. Repeats and referrals - Nothing confirms your credibility like getting repeat purchases and referrals from existing clients.

66. Generation 1099: Student Loan Debt and The Modern Day Side Hustler
Whether you’re a college graduate who can’t find a worthy job or someone that wants to liberate themselves from corporate America, I want you to take one thing away from today’s episode. I want you to realize that you have control over your life and what your true earning potential is. Don’t let the system or past beliefs put a limit on what you can achieve. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: The rise of the side hustle - It seems that we were led to believe that if we went to college and got a degree then we’d be sorted for life. After blindly following the norms of the “system,” it’s no wonder why so many of us are trying to build a side hustle, finding ourselves sitting on massive debts without the employment opportunities we expected. Investing in yourself - In order to earn a degree you typically have to spend tens of thousands of dollars and go through several years of intense study. That’s a lot of time, money, and effort, right? Now, imagine what your life would look like if you invested as much in yourself as you’ve invested in the system. What would your earning potential be? Limitless - Even though your job, your industry, and the economy may dictate what your salary is, your earning potential is limitless. In order to bridge the gap between your current salary and your desired income, all you need is three things: a computer, Wi-Fi, and a social media platform. If you’ve ever had a job, then you already have a set of skills that someone has paid you for. Not always a leap - While many people have the fantasy of flipping off their boss and resigning on the spot, taking a sudden leap and spontaneously quitting your job isn’t a smart move. A gradual change, where you start to put the pieces in place is far more realistic. Sometimes, freelancing in your spare time can be the best bridge to go from employment to having a six-figure business where you’re calling the shots. Are you sacrificing? - Are you spending your time and money where it counts? Are there things you can live without for the time being in order to apply your resources to help you get to where you want to be? And lots more! Tune in now. You and I both know that it’s time that you take full ownership of your expertise.

65. How To Get Out There and Build an Awesome Online Business Organically, Even if You’re Not an Extrovert with Mariah Coz
My special guest on today’s episode is Mariah Coz, who is incredibly effective at running her company that helps people create their own courses. Her biggest program now is her “accelerator” program that forms a services-hybrid coaching program to help people go from one-on-one to a group coaching program. Mariah shows that if you have real confidence in what your offer delivers and you’re incredibly excited to help people with what you have to offer, then even the most introverted person can be super-successful in selling through webinars, or an equivalent sales method. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Respond to what they’re asking for - Mariah has been very effective in listening to what her audience wants. Instead of guessing, she created and released specific products that people were actually asking for. Of course, this made the selling process much easier. Results-based pricing - While Mariah felt uncomfortable and had a hard time pushing up prices, she began to realize that the results her clients were getting far outweighed the price she was charging. By eventually deciding to raise her prices, she began to attract more customers that were extremely committed. Find people that are better than you - When it comes to scaling her business, Mariah has been successful in finding the right people and training them extensively. She’s transferred all of her knowledge to her employed coaches so that they can coach the clients at least as effectively as she could. Long term - Mariah is willing to spend big money when it comes time to invest but she’s realistic about ROIs. In the modern world, we’ve created an expectation of instant returns. In business, however, it doesn’t usually work that way. If she’s making a big investment, she’s well aware that she may have to wait several years in order to get the big payoff she desires. Paying for access - Whether it’s joining a mastermind group or attending a live event, it’s important to recognize that you may have to pay for access to be around people who are on a path of excellence and are going to help you get a better sense of what’s possible.

64. Show Up and Show Off: Discovering Your Voice as You Are Building Your Business
Today’s episode is all about the process that you should be focusing on when it comes to building your business. If you don’t know how to sell, it doesn’t matter how much content you’re creating. If your content doesn’t convert and lead people to take action then you’re not doing things in the right order. If you don’t yet have an offer to sell then it doesn’t matter how well you understand how to technically set up a Facebook ad or set up a lead page or set up a course. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: In the beginning - Until you get to the point in your business where you’re consistently making around $5,000 a month, then don’t waste time trying to do everything. There’s only one thing that really matters, and that’s figuring out exactly what your offer is. Figuring out the problem that you’re going to solve is like the seed from which everything else in your business will grow. Making the right choice - I fully understand how hard it is to figure out what your offer is going to be. If you have numerous ideas floating about in your head then it can be especially difficult to make a committed choice. That’s why you should have a proven framework, like what we have with Services That Sell, to make the decision-making process much easier for you. Is your ego coming into play? - Are you working to get a huge number of followers, likes, and shares to gratify your ego? Or are you working to help people make real-life transformations while making a whole load of money in the process that gives you the life you’ve always dreamed of? Beware of your ego coming into play and keep reminding yourself why you went into business in the first place. Transaction before transformation - Understand that if you really want to help someone to have a life-changing transformation, a transaction has to come beforehand. This is true in all aspects of life. For someone at McDonald’s who wants a transformation from being hungry to being full, there first has to be a cash transaction before they receive their food. Serving over selling - What’s the best way to sell your service? Forget about the stereotypical sleazy car salesman who won’t take “no” for an answer. In order to sell honorably, you have to realize that you’re allowing someone to have a life-changing transformation. Instead of trying to sell them what you have, it’s better to think of the sales process as inviting a potential customer to join you in a way that serves them. And lots more!

Do your research and you’ll be able to figure out exactly what they need from you. What feels fun vs what’s really needed - When building your business not everything is going to be 100% enjoyable.

62. The Entrepreneur’s Decision Making Criteria: Growing Through Discomfort
In today’s episode, you’re going to catch me feeling a little bit tired. Not because I’m sleepy, but because I’ve been exerting a lot of energy as of late and really challenging and pushing myself to grow. While you may be feeling really energized as you’re growing your business and being obedient to your bigger goals, there are also periods of time when things look a little different. Things can get exhausting and you may feel a lot of discomforts. I believe this episode can really help you if you’re in this position because you’re going to hear me working through my own internal process. I’m essentially “thinking out loud” for you. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Internal vs external - As you grow in your business and as a person, a lot of internal work is needed in order to shift your perspective. The larger levels of abundance that you experience are often a result of you evolving on a more mental and emotional level, as opposed to focusing on external strategies. What’s your holy ambition? - I don’t only set goals that I personally want to achieve. I pray to God and ask him what new territory he wants me to conquer. If you involve God in this way, however, you’d better be prepared. The majority of the time, he sees something much bigger for you than you had ever imagined. Be prepared for discomfort - Do you want to sit in your sweet spot and remain in your comfort zone for the rest of your life? Or, would you rather step out and truly experience the abundance that God has in store for you? I hear you, breaking through your comfort zone can be uncomfortable, exhausting, and make you second guess yourself. However, once you come out through the other side, you’re going to experience what true growth is all about. Are you open for business? - So many people that I talk to are unsure if their business will ever work and are unwilling to put themselves out there and invest in themselves until they get a client. This is just straight-up wrong! In order to get clients, you have to get yourself out there and actually open the doors to your business. No one is going to come in and buy from you if the doors aren’t open. A true necessity - I always need a coach to help me get to where I want to go. Why? Because the higher the level you’re at, the more costly it is when you make a mistake. I’d much rather invest in a coach right now than risk making a huge mistake down the line that will cost me significantly more.

Whether it’s losing sleep or postponing a personal life, she doesn’t really mind at all. For her, it’s a short term sacrifice for a long term gain. As long as you’re a resource, you’ll always get paid - Always look for opportunities and leverage the information and contacts around you. People will always welcome the chance to work with you provided you help them with a problem. When approaching potential clients, never be intimidated by their titles or status. Just go for it! Never giving up - Pauleanna is an incredibly persistent person. If she knows she can provide value to a potential client she’ll keep going until she wins them over. She also appreciates that if you expect a client to pay five figures, it’s going to take a little time to develop a relationship. Are you excellent at what you do? - Not enough people take the time to be remarkable where they’re at before they level up. Pauleanna isn’t interested in doing a lot of different things without truly excelling at any of them. Instead, she’s incredibly active in being excellent at the things she already does.

60. Faithfully Understanding the Pruning Process: Make Cuts Where You Expect More Growth
Today’s episode is all about how you can identify and rid yourself of wasteful practices that merely absorb your time and energy without producing notable results. Once you learn to do this, you will allow the fruits of your business to grow at a much faster rate. And, unless you get in there and do some business-pruning once in a while, the weeds could end up growing out of control. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Shifting your perspective - Over the years I’ve learned to change my perspective on things. You can’t do everything. I’ve realized that when something isn’t producing fruitful returns and isn’t worth my attention then I need to cut that branch from the tree. Stop and reflect - When was the last time you analyzed your business practices and reviewed your revenue streams? Sometimes it helps to take a pause from the hustle and identify where you’re seeing your largest profit margins and biggest client transformations so you can double down. Signature service - I decided to cut all the offers from my business that were not associated with my signature service - the real fruit of my business. This included all my digital products that I’d worked on and tested out over the years. Cutting out the internal negatives - Are there lifestyle choices or habits that are sabotaging you? For example, do you go to bed late and wind up feeling sluggish during the daytime? Are negative self-talk and limiting beliefs holding you back? For so many of us, the pruning that we require is internal. For many of us, a common limiting belief that needs to be pruned is that you need to create a bunch of free content before you ever sell anything. Double down on what’s already working - As entrepreneurs, when we find something that works, we have the tendency to want to rush on to the next thing. This desire to keep trying out new things is great, but we have to be careful that we don’t miss out on optimizing what’s already working well. And lots more! Tune in now.

59. Broke People Problems: How to Stop Attracting Clients Who Can't Afford You
Do you struggle to attract clients who can actually pay for your services? Are you consistently finding yourself providing value to people who struggle to honor a contract or seem to lack integrity when it comes time to pick up the check? As you elevate yourself into new standards of living, you enter a stage of “new money.” To stop attracting broke people, you have to understand a “rich” person’s mindset. For the average rich person, it’s much less about buying actual material things and more about enjoying the choice you get to make when making a buying decision. Broke people will always try and negotiate your rate and, even if they sign up for your program they may subsequently back up. Rich people, on the other hand, are willing to pay the price in full to an individual, business, service or product that can provide a solution to a specific problem they have. In order to stop attracting broke people and start attracting people with money, it’s essential that you understand this difference in mindset. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Are you too broad? - The reason you exist in business is to solve a problem. This is what you get paid for. Usually, though, you’ll find your customers will want to negotiate you down or completely avoid your service if it’s too broad. Don’t just be a problem solver. Be a specific problem solver and specialize your services as much as possible. Broke people problems - Think about the problem you’re solving. Are you solving a problem that only broke people have? If you’re providing a solution very general and basic problems that people with no money have then what do you expect? Stay basic and expect basic money. Price it right - If I set out to buy a luxury Chanel bag then I expect to pay a premium price. If the price is too low then I’ll probably get suspicious and walk away. Make sure you’re pricing your service based on how much it’s actually worth. Price it too low and you’ll attract broke people. Take a look in the mirror - A lot of time, if you’re attracting broke people, it can simply be because you have a “broke” mindset yourself. Are you projecting this mindset onto potential buyers? Are you the kind of person who signs up for something and doesn’t show up? Change your mindset and it will change the type of customers you attract. Become an excluder - Your job is not to attract everyone. You’re not Coca-Cola! While you need to be very clear on who your services are for, you also need to be clear on who they’re NOT for. To attract top dollar you need to get very specific on who your ideal customer is. This is especially important in the beginning. And lots more!

58. How This Brand Strategist Bounced Back After Being Laid Off and Made Over $50,000 From Her Signature Service With Peachi Williams
For many of us, the thought of being laid off and losing our job spells the end. Not for today’s guest, Peachi Williams, who merely switched her focus to what was really important to her. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Stepping stone - Working a corporate job isn’t always a dead end street. In fact, there are many positive aspects you can take away from it. It’s an opportunity to learn and grow as you overcome challenges and develop the skill sets that will eventually make you successful in business. Are you helping yourself as much as you’re helping others? - Peachi came to realize that she was often lending a hand and helping out other people succeed in their businesses. Yet, she never really gave herself the help that her own business needed to succeed. Rather than watch by as other businesses grew, she decided enough was enough and it was time to make a big investment that would propel her in the right direction. The first time isn’t always flawless - After attempting to complete Services That Sell, Peachi found herself coming to a standstill and her progress in the program came to a halt as her life was very hectic at the time. After a phone call, I urged her to re-commit and she got back on board, more determined than ever. Sometimes, things don’t run smoothly the first time around. There are times when you have to re-commit and be willing to do whatever it takes. What to do with all that expertise - Peachi was highly confident and competent in her area of expertise. The vast experience she’d accumulated made her an expert in her field but she didn’t quite know what to do with it. She credits the STS Facebook group and its wonderful participants as a motivating factor in helping her to continue niching down until she found her ideal signature service. Do it again… and again if necessary - Peachi hasn’t simply worked through Services That Sell the one time. She made the decision to work through the material a second time in order to enrich her learning and enhance her understanding. By going through the material a second time, she’s sharpening the sword and becoming even more effective in business. And lots more! Tune in now.

57. Investing In Yourself: What To Do When You Want To Say "YES" But You Need The Money First
When it comes to building a business, a lot of us get to a point where we know we’re going to need extra help to keep things moving forward. This comes in the form of making an investment in ourselves. However, A lot of you want to take it to the next level and need the help, but don’t want to invest until you have the money. In order to help you out with this dilemma, and to ensure you get access to the coaching, support, and resources you need to continue on your path, I’m sharing with you what’s worked well for me and my clients. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Can you afford to miss out? - Instead of focusing on how much an investment will cost you right now, consider how much money you’re losing out on if you don’t invest. You begin to show up in a different light - If you want to move to the next level, it only works if you commit first. This has been true for me at every stage of my business. The money flows and comes to you after you invest. When you put money down, you start to show up differently and become more committed than ever before. Consuming free resources can be great for overcoming small hurdles, but it’s never going to incentivize you to show up and do the heavy work that’s needed to level up. Having a coach isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity - I understand that if I don’t engage with someone who’s beyond where I’m at right now to push me and help me grow, then I’ll end up being comfortable and stagnant in the space I’m in. And, the second we become too stagnant is when our business starts to die. Take action without censoring yourself - Rather than fretting about not having the money to invest, try writing down 10 things that you can do to actually come up with the money. Be open and don’t censor yourself. Maybe there are ways you can provide value in return for cash that you’d never considered. If you want it bad enough then take action and make it happen for yourself. Mindset = 80% - Learning external strategies is important but it’s only 20% of the puzzle. 80% is mindset, and involves unlearning and relearning all the things we were taught through the “system.” We need to relearn everything that will help us become the most abundant and best versions of ourselves. I could give you all the strategies in the world to earn money, but without the right mindset would you actually be ready to receive it? And lots more! Tune in now. Need help repackaging your private 1:1 coaching into a high-ticket group coaching program? We can help with that.

56. State Your Rate & Heal Your Biggest Money Blocks with Erin Lindstrom
For today’s episode, I decided to bring in an amazingly dynamic and shiny human being… And a beast when it comes to sales! After attending one of her Shiny Bitches (yes, you read that right!) events, I was blown away by Erin Lindstrom and became an instant fan. In case you’re wondering, Shiny Bitches is a group of high-vibe entrepreneurial women who know what their passion is and are actively putting in the work to make themselves successful. Today, she’s expressing her wisdom and teaching you how to heal your biggest money blocks. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: Are you connecting with negativity? - It’s very easy to connect with people around negative issues and complain together. Erin advises that you try to become aware of this negativity and start to shift your mind towards a more positive outlook as you start connecting with people over positive issues instead. Start with your why - When it comes to mindset, always start with your “why?” Identify your bigger purpose in life (which comes from your being). Who is helping you? - To be successful, it takes more than hard work and a bit of organization. All high achievers have had help along the way. According to Erin, being able to receive help is usually one of the biggest blocks that people suffer from. She suggests, however, that the act of receiving help is a skill that can be learned and developed. How to show up - When you take a sales call, by being quiet and listening to the other person tell their story, you’re allowing them the opportunity to heal. Once you’ve listened, you can then figure out how and if you can help them. After telling them how you can help, always respect their decision-making process. Play with possibility - Erin is a big advocate of journaling. However, she goes a bit further than most, recommending that you continually ask yourself “what do I want?” while playing about with all possibilities. For example, you could try writing the date of five years from now while you write down how your life would look if you got everything you wanted. And lots more! Tune in now.

55. Generational Healing: Black Women and the Pay Gap
Something has been stirring up within me over the last few weeks and now I feel like it’s time to speak up and let y’all know my thoughts on this podcast. The whole concept of generational healing is something that keeps coming up again and again, so I wanted to get into just how much of a dynamic role it plays when it comes to both us as individuals, and in terms of building our businesses. Did you know that women of color are establishing businesses at a faster rate than any other demographic out there? While this is amazing, the problem is that women of color aren’t making anywhere near as much money as other demographics. We’re either failing in our entrepreneurial endeavors or we’re content with mediocrity when it comes to financial earnings. In order to understand why this is happening, we need to take a close look at what’s needed in terms of generational healing. For me, it boils down to two key issues: value and worth. But know this... Things have changed, somewhat. Opportunities are opening up all around you, and your voice matters. Thanks to the likes of Facebook and countless other platforms, your voice can now be heard. On the other hand, just because you simply state a price, it doesn’t mean you’re going to get paid that amount. In order to get paid, you actually have to show up and do the work. You have to learn how to articulate why you’re worth the amount you're charging. Afterward, you have to continually show up and deliver. Understand that there is no glass ceiling on your earning potential when you know how to sell and communicate the value of your skillset. The only limit is yourself. Key Highlights of the Episode This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights: The difference between value and worth - Your worth is infinite and endless. Never forget this. Your worthiness in life does NOT come with a price tag. On the other hand, your value can be represented by a monetary value that’s based on the value of results you deliver. The “worth” perspective - It’s clear that, from the “worth” perspective, a lot of healing is needed. Especially when it comes to women of color. In past generations, our worth was very much based on slavery and systematic repression. The “value” perspective - While a price tag can be placed upon the value we provide, you need to make sure you’re not selling yourself short. Don’t underestimate the true value you provide and make it your mission to be able to articulate your value in a way that can be clearly understood. We’re in this together - If you’re ever in doubt about your value or worth, then look no further than the community.

I’m curious to know… what do you call yourself? Are you a consultant, freelancer, contractor, coach, or what? Recently I was having a fascinating conversation with a friend about this, and I felt it was so good that I had to share it with you. Because it does matter what you call yourself. Here’s why… Not only does it help you to position yourself in the market but it also helps to determine your level prestige. And therefore, how much you can get paid. It also sets up an expectation of what your client expects of you. And remember, regardless of what you call yourself, when you step away from employee life to start your own business, you’re no longer an employee. I, therefore, ask that you please leave the employee mindset behind. Want some help scaling your group coaching program at a price you’re proud of?
