This drives me craaaazy, so I'm spending some time on this little rant. You have to be a professional. You have to show up as a professional. If you want to succeed, you can't be an amateur.

Ever wish you could hire a team of savvy sales people to stay in touch with your prospective clients and encourage them to buy? When you put a few simple systems in place, you can easily replace an expensive sales force with automated tools that allow you to keep your products and services in front of potential clients. You’ll not only make more money, but you’ll do it completely hands free. All that’s required is a little forethought. Your first must-have tool? An...

It seems the current popular advice for growing your business is, “You need a coach,” and you’ll see dozens of people hanging up their coaching hat, advertising for clients. I personally believe hiring a coach is one of the best strategies you can implement in your business. But the term “coach” is extremely broad and general so the key to hiring the right coach is knowing what you’re looking for and what TYPE of coach to hire. After all, you wouldn’t hire a college basketball coach to...

When you are trying to build a business there are so many things to do. Early stage entrepreneurs fall into the trap of trying to do all. of. the. things. Which is good for a while. After all, how do you know what activities you want to focus on in your business if you don’t try out a lot of different things? This tends to work from about zero to around $100k. (And let me tell you… your business is going to shift many times on the way to six figures.) After that, once you hit your first...

When you first hung out your virtual shingle, you likely were thinking something like: “I can’t wait to get away from this awful job.” “I just want to be home with my kids.” But while those are great for lighting a fire and inspiring you to make a scary jump to business ownership, they’re not so fabulous at motivating you to grow and improve. They won’t inspire you to increase your skills and raise your rates and be brave and authentic in your marketing. They won’t help you find the...

Are you getting lackluster results on your marketing? On your revenue streams? What would happen if you went all in? I talk about that in this Smart Bite, a new series of short episodes here at the Smart Set Show.

If you're like most entrepreneurs I know, you don't understand why people purchase products. And it's OK!

Fact of the matter is clients who are unhappy are often your own fault. (I know; that’s not what you wanted to hear.) That’s not always the case, but in my experience client happiness is directly tied to how well I do my job as a coach. My ability to get results for clients is unmatched, but clearly communicating my value and the transformation clients will get has taken years of practice. The better I got at articulating value and transformation, the happier my clients became. They no...

Raising your rates is important, but so hard to do. For those of us who want to be authentic and live in a place of service, it's hard to feel like we deserve to make a living. Raising your rates is a subtle art, and in this episode, I talk about how to do it and what to consider. (Pst. This episode is marked a explicit because I drop an F Bomb at one point. If you have little ones, listen with headphones.) The post that goes along with today's episode: https://www.ysmay.com/pricing/ The...
