Time is NOT money. If you think you need to grind harder to get a bigger result, you may be stuck in an 'employee mindset'.

Trying to run a successful online business with an employee mindset is like trying to win a bike race with running shoes. Many of us started our careers trading time for money, meaning working jobs where we exchanged ourselves on an hourly rate or were given a salary in exchange for 40 hours (which often becomes 50, 60 or 70 hours). This programs us to want to keep trading time for money as we move on to become self employed, thus working MORE for even LESS money because we end up wearing all hats in the business. But if you want to start making exponentially more money online, you'll need to get off the 'linear' model of working harder and more hours. In this episode, I'll share with you what I call the '6 money mindsets' which explores the differences between: If you want to know how to grow your online business to levels you never thought were possible, you must understand how these 6 different money mindsets shape how we operate.

"I'm feeling the doubt, the insecurity and really wanting to give up because I don’t want to keep working this hard. I want to be with my family. Part of me thinks I should have never done this, but part of me trusts the Universe. Feel this. Observe this." That was a quote from my journal back in Oct of 2021. My fear and doubt in myself was at an all time high because I was 2 days into my 3rd launch of my Leveraging LinkedIn course and had zero sales. On this episode I'll be talking about how to recover from when you put out an online course or offer and no one buys it; then turn it into a winning offer! I'll be sharing with you 3 things that you can consider to improve on that offer and dial it in more.

Did you know that most online business owners are eliminating 95% or more of their potential clients? The reason is because they are focused on selling their single offer at a single price point and hoping that I client will be in that exact position to buy from them.....at that exact time.

On this episode: I'll show you a strategy and business structure used by some of the biggest businesses in the world as well as how you can implement this same structure in your online business.

How do you know when it is a good time to make a shift or a pivot in your online business? If you've been feeling like you aren't where you are at, you may be getting the urge to make a change. But what if you just haven't been staying in the game long enough. But how do you know? Today's topic is based around a question I saw this during a Q/A by Alex Hormozi: "You speak a lot on outlasting your competition and playing the infinite game, but at WHAT POINT should an entrepreneur PIVOT? In terms of strategy, marketing, sales tactics, etc. how do you know when something ISNT working OR you just haven’t been doing the volume/long enough?"

Did you know that the average coach makes $45k per year? And 90-95% of coaches never break 6 figures? So why is it that there are so many marketing guru's and business coaches constantly bragging about how they are getting insane results for their clients? Is it even true? In this episode I'll get raw and real about the coaching industry and share some insights I've seen from working with over 200 other coaches and entrepreneurs and participating in several business coaching, digital marketing and online course programs. Most coaches aren't making the kind of money that they want to, they struggle to get buy, they grind it out and the failure rate is high for these types of online businesses. But it doesn't have to be like this. Here's the good thing, you CAN succeed and make 6 or 7 figures as a coach but it's probably NOT the path that most of these business coaches tell you, same with 'coaching certification' programs that make you think that you'll have a stream of clients coming in the second you open your doors.

Does entrepreneurship ever feel lonely or like you have a hard time finding like minded people who will support you on your path to building a badass online business? There is absolutely NO question that your results are tied to the people that you are around. Jim Rohn used to say 'You are the average of the 5 people that you are closest with.' Making more money in your online business and having more success in life really is tied to your relationships. Today's High Value Question: "How do I find more like minded individuals actually doing productive things and not have to pay to be their friends?" On this episode I'll share with you 5 ways you can create a kick ass tribe of connections that will make it so much easier for you to success in your online business.

Question: What words come to your mind when I say the word 'sales' or 'selling'? Do you have a negative thought come up like sales is sleazy, high pressure, awkward, uncomfortable, rejection? Its interesting because I've taught sales in front of larger groups of entrepreneurs and asked that very question and its surprising to see what people will say, and its mostly negative. If you have some of these feelings about sales then you will be blocking yourself from making money in your online business. On top of that, higher ticket sales will require you to get better at selling on a zoom or phone call because its hard for people to make those sales with just a checkout or sales page. In this episode I'll share with you my sales 'script' that has lead to $36 million (and growing) in sales. Its actually not really a script but more like a 'flow' and it makes it so easy to connect with your clients, it feels natural and will lead to higher conversions.

Have you heard of Sunken Cost Fallacy? Its a bias that shows up when you've put so much time and energy into something that you double down and keep going instead of cutting your losses (or listening to your heart). It takes a courageous soul to ignore the voice that tells you to keep going and cut your losses and start all over again. Emily-Jane Sarroff was 22 years old and a few months from graduating with her masters degree, with over $50,000 invested. She had put so much in, so she should complete it right? Most people would. When she searched her soul for answers, her intuition gave her the answers that she needed. In this episode, my good friend Em shares her entrepreneur journey with you, the highs, the lows, and what it takes to create a business that aligns with your soul and gives you the freedom to do what you want in life.
