Raise your hand if you feel like getting your ideal clients on the phone feels like pulling teeth! 🙋‍♀️ It felt like that for my guest, too. Discovering that one strategy that works for you and creates a pipeline of potential clients for your business can take a lot of trial and error, but I want to shortcut that path for you. In this episode, I’m chatting with Stephanie Hess – a Fortune 500 Beauty Director turned self-made entrepreneur, online business strategist and high-vibrational mentor to the thousands of women who follow her work online.

After attempting to bring in new leads through paid Facebook advertising and then getting her ads account shut down, she realized she had to figure out a different way to book clients. After some trial and error, she discovered a simple 4-step process that only takes 10 minutes a day and results in 5-10 discovery calls each week. She’s breaking it all down for us in this episode.

I had the opportunity to get on the phone with 20 people that are a part of my audience and learn so much about them. It was really awesome because these calls were set up more as strategy sessions. I was able to help them get through and solve something, get through a struggle that they were having, a decision they needed to make or something else and actually get them one step closer to reaching their goals to taking that next step, getting them to take action. This one is with Hannah Holmes of Holmes House Creative. She is a graphic designer, and she’s currently working full-time for someone else, but she’s in the middle of launching her styled stock photography membership. Her and I are talking about building your audience and showing up and being present on Instagram. We also map out kind of like her her launch strategy, and I kind of make her change a lot of things. If you want to hear this entire session with her and really get that behind the scenes of what these strategy sessions are like then definitely tune in.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to totally pivot your business as a product-based shop? If so, this episode is for you! Today I'm chatting with Meg Sutton, who is the founder and creator of the products over at Belle & Union, which is a company that sells Letterpress printed cards are printed southern-inspired wrapping papers and handcrafted Artisan goods. The shop has been featured in Country Living, Rachel Ray, Southern Living, Southern Lady, and Oh So Beautiful Paper. In this interview, we are talking about her recent decision to pivot the products that she was selling in her shop because they just didn’t align with where she was at in her life as well as how she actually went about making that transition and introducing that to her audience. She’s actually still in the middle of the transition, so we got a bit of the behind the scenes of what that looks like, what it feels like to be in such a big transition, and what the rest of the year looks like for her now that she is making this shift. If you are ready to hear a successful shop owner talk about what is actually happening behind the scenes, make sure to listen in!

I could preach all day about the importance of starting an email list. I’m so thankful that I listened to my mentors back in 2012 and started my email list soon after I went full-time in my business. But just saying “start an email list” is one thing. Actually starting one and getting people to voluntarily hand over their email address is a completely different thing. So how do you actually find people for your email list? How do you grow your email list without paying for ads? In this episode of the Inspired for Action podcast, I'm share 5 ways I organically grew my email list last year, and what I'm planning on doing this year to continue that growth.

And although, you know they’re likely right… for some reason, you still haven’t committed. The concept of “niching” can be a bit intimidating. I mean, you don’t want to leave anybody out, right?!
