Life-changing power of affirmations

If you don't set intentions for where you're going, you often get very confused results from the Universe.

 

Over the past year, there've been times when I've felt I didn't have any big goals in my life.

 

Part of that was "Lucky B problems" - I'd achieved many things on my dream board and business was going well, but I also didn't know what I wanted next.

 

And when this happens, you'll find things get wishy-washy, and it's easy to drift or get distracted. 

 

So today, we're talking about the power of daily affirmations to change your life and business. 

The best investments and upgrades for your business

I've got a question for you: Are you investing in the right areas of your business?

Are you wondering where to invest your hard-earned money? It's a common question, and the answer isn't always straightforward. But don't worry, I've got you covered!

In today’s episode, I'm sharing my insights on smart business investments that can propel your growth. 

Ask Me Anything: Increasing your prices

Raising your prices can feel like a daunting task, especially when you're worried about losing clients. 

 

But what if I told you it's not just about the numbers? 

 

It's about understanding your worth, communicating effectively, and aligning your energy with your new pricing. It's about clearing any blocks that are making money feel hard. 

 

I get if it feels like a strange time to be considering a price increase - with the cost of living going up for us all, but if you're fully booked, in demand, or know you can help people, then a price increase might make sense and can be done sensitively. 

 

I'll answer your questions about increasing your prices in today's episode. 

Before you discount, try this

Are you feeling the pressure to slash your prices right now? 

 

I get it. When sales are slow, it's tempting to wave that discount wand. 

 

But here's the thing: there are so many ways to boost your business without devaluing your amazing offerings. 

 

If you're only discounting from a place of panic - STOP.

 

Discounting can be tricky - mostly because it trains your audience to wait until you have a discount or offer a special deal. 

 

From a money mindset perspective, it can sometimes send the message that you don't value yourself at full price. From a branding perspective, it can damage your brand.

 

Not always - sometimes discounting can be entirely appropriate - maybe you're discontinuing a product, you want to incentivize early birds, you're doing a Beta version of a program, or just because you feel like it. Some industries regularly offer a discount for payment in full or seasonal discounts.

 

There is no right or wrong - but if you're contemplating slashing and burning your prices right now - I've got some alternative strategies for you on today's podcast.

Check in and assess your business

Time to check in - where are you at with your business right now? 

 

Let’s take an honest look and identify a few tweaks and improvements you can make before the end of the year. 

Pricing AMA - Payment Plans, Scholarships and Discounts

One of the most common challenges I can help you with is pricing - your money around charging and receiving for your work. 

 

We get so many questions about pricing, so this month, I'm diving deep into the topic. 

To kick us off, I've got a jam-packed Ask Me Anything episode on the pod talking all things pricing.

Bonus Episode: Launch Q&A with Jeff Walker

This bonus episode is the audio from a call that I had this week with Jeff Walker and some amazing members of our community.

We talked honestly about launching, imposter syndrome and why it’s so important to get started. As Jeff said, the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is today.

This was such an in-depth call, Jeff is incredibly nice so it’s totally worth watching.

How decluttering helps you manifest

Ohhh this is one of my favorite topics and something I’m going DEEP with right now!

 

Let's talk about how and why DECLUTTERING can help you manifest. 

 

You'll love this if you're just getting started and you're new to developing your manifesting muscle.

 

And if you're a manifesting veteran who may be feeling a little skeptical, let's get back to basics and reconnect with the magic of possibility. 

Is a 7-figure launch realistic?

Not everyone aspires to a big million-dollar launch or can even see that as a possibility. And it’s totally okay if that’s not your goal. 

 

But the reason I love talking so much about launching is to show you that these big launches are possible. 

 

A normal person like you or me CAN achieve a 7-figure launch. 

 

It’s not common and not easy, but it’s possible. 

 

And if you’re like me, that will motivate you to want to learn more about how it could be possible for you. And trust me, it’s worth it. 

 

A 7-figure launch will probably not happen by accident, so the first step is demystifying what it takes and what you would need to make this happen.

Finding your perfect coach

Not everyone is a good coach. Just because you admire someone or their business, doesn’t mean they’re the right coach for you.

 

I’ve definitely been burned by this - Sometimes it’s hard to find a coach who aligns with your needs and stage of life and business.

 

There are so many types of coaches, so today let’s check in with exactly what you need and how to find what you’re looking for.
