Trauma can come from growing a successful business. I certainly experienced it last year.
In this episode I share my focus for 2023, how to make decisions that are good for you, and how we all can deal with the anxiety that comes from feeling overwhelmed when our businesses become successful.
Things I cover:
1. Assess where your time is currently going and cut back on activities that aren't serving you
2. Be okay with saying no to things that take away from your time for yourself
3. Ask for help from friends, family, or professionals if you're feeling overwhelmed
The podcast wasn't fitting into my new focus, so the show will be put on hiatus until 2023. However, you can still find me checking in with my community on Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.
Get ready to up your game because today we are talking about five money beliefs that are definitely getting in the way of you making money. How do I know that? Because these money beliefs threw me for a loop in 2022.
Avoid Letting Your Negative Money Mindset Affect Your Business
When you go into sales and put yourself out there for your business, you're trying to collect money and create conversations. But, unfortunately, all your money mindset kicks in at this point, and it doesn't always help you in sales! And in addition to that, let's say you start hitting certain levels in your business and your life; all your money mindset and habits are going to come up and affect how you do business.
Last year I had my first six-figure month in the business! However, even though I had a successful month, many irrational fears around money started coming up, and then came the self-sabotaging behaviors (uh-oh!). I had to take six months to figure out what was happening.
I've come to learn through the help of a mentor that I had a lot of subconscious beliefs about money that were keeping me stuck and keeping me more diminutive than I wanted to be.
Now that I've had a year of processing, I've discovered what was going on in my money mindset and how I could change those negative beliefs into positive thinking regarding money. So here's what I did - and you can do it too - to change my thoughts and break through my glass ceiling!

I recently caught up with a colleague who also teaches women how to sell. We had an interesting conversation about how women are not going for the close or the money. They simply aren’t asking for the sale. So today we're gonna talk about closing a sale, what that means, and how to successfully close your sale as a female super saleswoman!
Many salespeople mistakenly believe they must send a proposal before closing. Usually if they want a proposal the sales call will end and you never hear from these people again, and poof! They disappear like Casper the Ghost!
We struggle with closing a sale because we don't know how to be assertive. Many of us have been conditioned to be codependent or manipulative and controlling. We have not learned how to be in the middle ground of getting what you need while also being a pleasant person with good values.

So many people are in a scarcity mindset, and that isn't where your head needs to be if you want to make money. If you're needy when you're selling, it's hard to make money. Being needy and making money mindsets don't match up. So let's talk about how you can be in an abundance mindset to sell more and increase your sales and profitability.
The energy of having to prove yourself and your point to win isn't part of the abundance mindset, and it won't work to make your sales. This sales pitch doesn't work with people sensitive to energy. Not only does it prevent you from selling, but it's also an automatic repulsion for many people. I can't even deal with it. I definitely don't wanna do business with you or your company.

There are two critical skills that you need in sales. Number one is listening. And number two is knowing how to ask the right questions. But, unfortunately, part of the reason why so many of you get tripped up in sales is that you're not asking the right questions. And even if you are asking some of the right questions, you're not going deep enough with a prospect to be able to present an offer to them and close them.
We'll discuss the steps you need to take in your sales discovery call. What questions do you need to ask? These are part of phase II and phase III of the sales process. So let's jump in with the two-part sales process to land more sales on those leads.

Is the wounded feminine running your business and your life? If so, you'll want to listen to this episode because this is part I of our how to be a feminine business owner series (and still kick ass with sales).
The wounded feminine persona isn't about sex or gender; it's about the feminine energy both males and females have in their energy fields. Specific characteristics are some feminine and some masculine. So let's start here with some examples.
Even though both men and women can have male or female energy, women tend to have more feminine energy. Generally speaking, it's where we tend to feel good and more fulfilled.
Now for most of us, we have what is termed the injured feminine instinct. This came about when the patriarchy viewed femininity as dangerous or harmful, mainly because they feared our power (did you hear that, ladies, our POWER!) And if you think you have to wear a dress or put on makeup to be feminine, then you think of physical features, not energetically. Femininity isn't wearing a pretty dress or lipstick or having long lashes. Being feminine means you have feminine energy qualities such as being fun.
The injured feminine instinct does not serve us, so let's go to the whiteboard to talk about those behaviors, and you can determine whether or not you're being run by a wounded feminine instinct.

Are you ready to level up your daily game? Great! Read on to find out more about time management strategies for women entrepreneurs, specifically managing your calendar, because many of you out here are not managing your calendars very well. So let's talk about it!
Ladies, we're running real businesses, so we must value our time. Many of us have been letting our calendars run us instead of us running our calendars, so here's how you can change that around to make your time work for you.
Managing Your Time to Build Your Business
To build a business you want, you want to ensure you're running your calendar. I don't want you to make the same mistake I did by getting into a few bad habits with time management when I basically let my calendar run my life instead of running the calendar.
I've seen this happen with women business owners that have teams. When you let your time run you, it keeps you broke. You need to stick to your calendar to get ahead in your business.

Get ready because we're gonna be talking about the most common sales mistakes and how you can fix your sales mistakes so you can close more sales in your social media DMs or direct messaging.
Why Selling on Direct Messaging is Important for Small Business
So let's talk about why selling in the DMs is so crucial because I'm seeing a colossal mistake that women service providers and coaches are making. So many women feel that they can post on social media, and the sales will come flooding into their message box.

Are you tired of talking to all the wrong people on your sales, consultations, and discovery calls? I think we've all been there. If you're not talking to the right people, it might be because you're unsure how to qualify leads.
So let's dig in and talk about how to qualify your leads so that you're talking to the right people!
Why Qualify Leads?
Let's get into qualifying leads and why this matters. Number one, you are not meant to work with everyone. You're meant to work with a specific group of people - your niche market. Number two, you don't wanna waste your time talking to people who aren't a good fit for your services.
Qualifying leads is a skill set that many people haven't developed. So when it comes to qualifying, there are two questions that you need answers to Does this person have a problem that I can help them solve, and can they pay me?

If you're in business, you need to understand the sales process. When you understand the sales process, you can move from being a content consumer to selling your content in the online coaching space. There's a lot of talk about promotional cycles and business cycles. Still, I find there's not a lot of talk about the sales cycle, which is one of the most critical components of a business.

The astrological retrograde craziness on the planets may be affecting business people worldwide! I have found it difficult to get focused on my coaching business. You may also be experiencing this same lack of focus, which is why I'm bringing you this info on how to get focused and stay focused in your coaching business.
Getting Distracted When Running a coaching Business
I know I don't make much money when I get distracted and unfocused in my business. And when I don't make money, I'm not a happy camper. In addition, I feel ungrounded when I'm unfocused, and that's how I've been feeling for the past several months.
There's been a lot of distractions in the world lately, so let's get focused and stay focused so we can leave the cloudy, confusing place we've been living. The first item on our list to focus on is setting clear goals and targets.
The Power of Your Mind
When most people think of the power of the mind, we usually refer to logic, systems, procedures, and following the rules. A perfect example is your life and career trajectory. Most people are taught to go to college, get a degree and a job, and do the same every day until they retire or die. Most of us have not been taught how to best utilize the power of our mind and the faculties that it entails.
