If You're Struggling, Then You Need to Shift. It's That Simple. Now to the HOW…

If what you are doing now isn’t working or isn’t enough, then you need to do something different. STOP struggling by repeating what you are doing now.

Here’s what I know needs to shift for most women entrepreneurs:

Money - It's what you need to run and sustain your business and support your life. Simple truth. Are you making enough? Is it flowing in consistently? (I know it’s not ALL about the money. It’s really about freedom, independence, expression, helping others… but if you can’t relax a bit about the money, then you can’t experience what you REALLY want). It’s time for you to SHIFT THIS.

Energy - It's also what you need to run and sustain your businesses. (No, this isn't a copy-paste errror - it's the truth.) If you can't manage your energy effectively - even well - then you could drown in a sea of self-doubt, constant questioning or just plain "running yourself ragged." This makes for poor marketing. Your work doesn’t get into the world. You don’t make money OR change lives. Are you nodding "yes"? It’s time for you to SHIFT THIS.

Power – I’m not talking about manipulating power. I’m talking about your leadership. Your impact. The change you are creating in the world. You pull your creative power from several different areas (seven, in fact). If your power centers aren’t lined up, then your business and leadership falters, and that equals no money, no impact, and lots of frustration. It’s time for you to SHIFT THIS.

What I've found is that if any of your 7 Power Centers are constricted or "stopped up," then they affect all the other power centers.... stifling you, stopping you, maybe even paralyzing you. That always shows up in your money and ultimately your money center. You can tell how it’s working for you by looking at your current results. Is it working for you? If not, stop wishing it would change. SHIFT and do something different.

I see thousands of women business owners struggle to make consistent money and to reach a six-figure level of success. I see them...you…pull back power. YOU play small. YOU hide. You do great work, but you don’t charge enough or show up as the leader you really are.

I'm asking you to step into your power as a Business Goddess. Imagine the strength and the confidence a Business Goddess has. As a Business Goddess, you embrace your inner power and wisdom and put it into action in the world. Stand up tall and run your business the way a Business Goddess would.

Actually, I'm not just asking you to step into being a Business Goddess.... I'm calling you into it.

To provide the support you need to step into and STAY in your Business Goddess creative power… I'm announcing my two new coaching programs,Business Goddess Attraction Marketing Program and Business Goddess Six Figures and Beyond Mentor Coaching and Mastermind Program. These two programs will help you see that the more you line up your energy and power, the easier it is to do the actions that get you the results. And those results will be more money, more clients, more speaking gigs and more recognition.

It's Money. Energy. Power.

To find out more about these two programs, and the very special Early Bird pricing that ends Wednesday, October 27, visitwww.BusinessGoddessCoaching.com.

Feel the Shift. See the Results.

 

P.S. If you're struggling at any level, questioning the business models out there, and yearning for more, then it’s time for a shift. And a shift ALWAYS brings NEW RESULTS. Being a Business Goddess may be just the shift you need. Check it out now, and I hope you’ll join our growing community of powerful and creative Business Goddesses:  www.BusinessGoddessCoaching.com.

 

What is Your Soul Saying To You?

What if you could stand up - powerfully, in your full confidence and glory - and say,

"I AM A BUSINESS GODDESS!!"

What does that mean to you?

This is not some hokey, woo-woo nonsense. Allow yourself to really define this for YOURSELF.

It’s deceptively powerful.

What does BE-ing a Business Goddess mean to you?

For me, being a Business Goddess means being seen. Being seen by the world, and, maybe most importantly.... allowing myself to be seen.

It means making a difference in others' lives... really making a difference and KNOWING I'm making a difference.

And letting that be okay. As a matter of fact, letting it be more than just okay. Really embracing that I'm valuable and that the work I do is needed and crucial. Believing that others are waiting for me to show up!

Choosing to show up and allow myself to be seen... in a big way.

I KNOW this is true for you too.

It's accessing that creative power in your life - the whole reason why youreally got into your business in the first place - to let your soul shine through.

Being a Business Goddess opens the door and allows your soul to speak.

What would your soul say want to say?

It might say that it wants to come out to play. That it wants somefreedom. That it wants to burst through the world. That it wants to havefun. That it wants to make a difference and be recognized.

And so I say to YOUR soul: "Welcome to my free Business Goddess Power Boost Call Series!"

LOL! Yes, I know... not what you expected me to say to your soul, is it? "Come to a teleclass, Soul!"

Truth is... I have a LOT to say to your soul. And it needs more space than an email... so come to my calls where we can really dig into your soul stepping into its beautiful power.

It’s there just waiting for you to give it permission and open the door to speak and be seen.

So, please join me and others for this powerful soul-shifting call series.

Does Your Marketing Make You Giggle?

I’m thinking of writing an ebook about creating marketing plans that make you giggle!  What I  notice with my women business owner clients… the more they are in their delight, their fun and passion… the more confident they feel.  Confidence is sexy.  It’s engaging.  Attracting.  It’s like honey to bears and chocolate to my 9-year-old son!

 

Delight… playfulness… creates a relationship where you are “unattached.”  If you are attached to the outcome, the results, the timing or how good you are doing in your marketing  - you choke off the flow. Unattached is not to be confused with lack of commitment.  It’s just a way around the rock in the river!

 

I remember when I first left corporate and deemed myself a coach (before I was certified and practiced, etc.). I was nervous.  I went to Kinko’s and printed up cream business cards with my name on it and “Life Coach” underneath. (I was rebelling against all my biz experience.) I was proud and nervous and yet felt good that I was being courageous.

 

Then I went to a networking event.  I was talking to a lovely woman and I started thinking, "She might be interested in my services.  She might know someone.  Wonder where my business cards are?  Bottom of my purse probably.  I’d have to dig. What will she think?  She’ll think I’m a sleazy sales person. Ick. I can’t do that."

 

Well, as you can imagine, with all this chatter going on in my head, I lost the connection with the woman I was talking to. I never gave her my business card.  Then I slid into a downward spiral of “I suck at marketing” (Sorry, but that’s how my inner gremlin will talk to me in a downward spin!)

 

So, I chose to shift that energy.  Reduce the point of friction. 

 

I watched as a colleague was asked for a business card.  She was an artist, a painter.  She took out her business card with grace and dignity.  It was BIG.  It was hand-painted.  It was beautiful.  She folded it in half and handed it over like a GIFT.

 

Wow.  That’s what I wanted.

 

So, for the last 10 years, I’ve reduced the friction of the business card exchange.  My cards are always oversized, interesting, colorful, and I can’t wait to give them out as though I am giving a gift.

 

It makes me giggle with delight to share and to watch someone’s face light up!

 

Marketing That Makes You Giggle.  I can so see the book next to those “serious” business books at Barnes & Noble! (THAT makes me giggle!)

 

Share with me… where does your marketing make you giggle with delight?  Or does it? I’d love to hear your thoughts…

 

En-JOY!

5 Essentials You Need to Know to be a Go-To-Goddess

As a women entrepreneur you probably have in your business vision to be well-known in your industry and to easily attract clients and opportunities to speak, write and contribute; I call this being a Go-To-Goddess.

Being the Go-To-Goddess means having enough confidence in what you offer and how you change people's lives so that you are at the top of the list for other people to recommend you for clients, to the media, and to their colleagues for joint ventures. Getting to the Go-To-Goddess level means it gets easier to attract clients and opportunities. But to get there, you have to commit to 5 things.

5 Essential ingredients to be a Go-To-Goddess:

1. Take a Fresh and Powerful Stand
You can't play small. This isn't a time to do what everyone else is doing. Quite frankly, the world/Internet/marketing has changed so much that doing what everyone else is doing will kill your business.

This isn't a time to hide. You have to tap into your confidence, your inner strength, and your knowing that what you offer will make people's lives better. And be willing to write and speak about it in a way that grabs their attention by your unique style and claim.

If you are not writing, speaking, or using video or audio, then how will people find you? If you are using these marketing strategies but you are doing what you were doing three years ago, then your business will certainly disappear. It's time for deep listening to your tribe and to take a stand for your service and how it will truly address their problems and change their world. (Yes, change their world - it needs to be that bold of a claim!)

2. A Very Specific Tribe
I'm talking about a group of people who are flourishing, engaged and are actively interested in what you stand for. Who are these people? What do you know about them? What do you need to find out? The more specific you can be about who your services are for, then the more of an impact you can have with your marketing efforts. (Big fish-small pond still works.)

To take this further, you want to develop a sense of what your tribe wants, their problems, dreams, aches, and pains. What are their buzz words? What do they hate? What do they love? How do you fit in?

3. Multi-media Approach to Creating Your Go-To-Goddess Brand Mystique
You can't just send a few emails and expect people to flood into your business. The world is so fragmented and, quite frankly, tired so that you have to use 10 ways to reach one person.

Example: You offer a teleclass and market with an email, a blog post, a Facebook event, a YouTube video tip, Tweet, preview teleclass, and an affiliate program. It's not that people will see you everywhere – they just need to see you. You don't know which is their favorite way of getting information. You need to use more than one or two or three ways to reach your tribe.

4. Offer Compelling and Clear Packages, Products and Programs for Your Tribe
People want choice. They want a DIY Starter Kit, some want a little guidance, many want a lot of information, and some want you to help them put the information into place. You want to be creative with the types of packages you create to address your tribe's needs and wants at the level they are.

For example, in my business for women entrepreneurs I have beginner entrepreneurs who are just starting or dreaming of their businesses. They need lots of inspiration and ideas on possibilities. My seasoned clients have been in the trenches a bit and need information, knowledge, and wisdom for how to keep going, how to run their businesses better and more how to's. My mature business owners need inspiration for the next evolution of their business and bigger business knowledge about leverage, scalability and managing business systems and money management.

You can't offer a one-size-fits-all program. In this economy, people are buying, but they are buying cautiously. They want to know that what you are offering will truly help them.

5. Relationship Building is Queen
To be the top of mind Go-To-Goddess, you need all these in place -- and then always remember that it's about the quality of the relationship. Are you reaching out to your clients and your colleagues and letting them know what you are up to? Are you inviting them into your business to collaborate, to be a client, to help them in some way?

You have to give what you most want to receive, and it starts with you valuing the relationship. You can't hide in the ivory tower and watch your computer ka-ching all alone. You need to reach out and talk, connect, speak, and most of all listen to what your clients, the media, and what your colleagues want and then take the inspired action to deliver.

Being a Go-To-Goddess doesn't just happen. You need to be conscious, take inspired action, and build relationships. And with this powerful energy, you can change the world.

Learn the secrets to have your business, body, and mind all working together ...

Do you ever feel like you are missing a crucial piece for gaining the momentum you want in your business — but you aren’t sure what it is?

Are you working really hard and wondering how you will EVER be able to carve out the time you need to take care of yourself?

Do you ever wonder how other women juggle all the balls that we seem to have up in the air?

Could you use more energy, sales, positivity or mojo? 

Do you want to always have joy in your business?

Guess what?

One of the biggest challenges women entrepreneurs face is maintaining a working balance between so many important priorities.

The truth: your body, your mindset, and your business are all intimately related (YOU are your most valuable business asset after all!). ALL the pieces are important, and when the balance gets out of whack, none of the parts operate as effectively and as incredibly or with as much joy as they should.

My friends Dr. Melissa McCreery and Therese Skelly GET IT and they’ve put together the perfect event for busy women entrepreneurs. The best thing is, you can attend it for free!  These women have put together the Body Mind and Business Breakthrough Telesummit.

This event has kicked off this week but there is still time to jump in! You’ll have the unique opportunity to learn from some of the top experts in the areas of health and wellness, mindset and mental strategy, and business breakthroughs—experts like Alexis Martin Neely, JJ Virgin, Suzanne Falter-Barns and Stephanie McWilliams. These speakers know their stuff and I am so honored to be one of them!
