If you are anything like me, you love a good goal. Goals help us focus more clearly on our dreams and desires – the things we want to manifest into our lives and our businesses.
After all, setting goals is the key to success, right?
In my experience the answer is YES, however, I have learnt a few secrets along the way – secrets to setting goals in a feminine way, rather than a masculine one.
Here’s a hint: One of them is not ‘working hard’ in order for your goals to be met.
Wanna know how?
“I feel like I’m putting myself out there. I’m doing talks on Health & Wellbeing at the gym, and I’m posting on Facebook, but it just doesn’t seem to be going to that next level. I want to be getting paying clients.”
“I feel frustrated because I’ve been putting in a lot of effort it seems and I’m not getting results.”
“Where am I going wrong? I know my stuff. I feel I should be way more ahead than I am.”
Sound familiar? Not only do I hear this often from new Health Coaches in my UPswing Mastermind, but I went through this exact scenario myself when I was starting out.
Let me offer some relief by saying this…
It is absolutely normal to be feeling frustrated when you’re not getting the results you hoped for.
Your inner child IS going to start getting stroppy and grumpy if you’re giving, giving, giving and not getting.
You know those entrepreneurs everyone seems to be talking about? The ones who get mentioned in “Top 10” or “People to Watch” lists?
Who gets interviewed on multiple podcasts (or they launch their own podcast and land on the New & Noteworthy list)?
Who get quoted in magazines, sell out their premium group programs, write bestselling books, and talk on big stages?
Sometimes you see these entrepreneurs, and you think, “How did they do it?”
Other times, you can’t help but think, “When is it going to be MY turn?”
The answer is this –
Today I want to share with you Pam’s story of how she took her coaching business from side hustle to a full-time job earning her double what she used to in her consulting job. She earnt $4k her first month full-time, even though she took time off for a vacation!
Let’s dive in!
Pam is a weight loss coach for women in corporate jobs who are busy and tired, and more than likely have adrenal fatigue without knowing it. Pam works with them to break the diet cycle: “Most have tried every other diet out there, and I want to teach them how to break the diet cycle and just eat real food,” she says.
If you're a health coach wanting to turn your hobby into a thriving business, then this is where you want to be.
Not only do I talk about all things health coaching on my blog, but we have an amazing tribe of health coaches and wellness entrepreneurs getting help and supporting each other in my free Facebook group, The Healthy Wealthy Society.
And then there is my popular, UPswing Mastermind.
So what is UPswing Mastermind all about?
Just a few days ago, I hosted an amazing training session where I shared my $5k per month plan. The response has been great. So many people came along to the call, and so many health coaches have been sharing their journey.
But some people missed out - so I’ve decided to do an encore and this time I’m keeping the replay up!!
Just watch it below or head on over to YouTube to watch it there.
I’m excited to be popping in today with my new FREE ebook ‘Healthy Wealthy Biz’.
This may just become your new favourite beach read if you are like me, hanging on the summer holiday feeling as long as I can (or perhaps ready for an island getaway for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere).
Thank you to all of you who submitted questions last year that I was able to incorporate into the interviews!
Sometimes life takes you to places you couldn’t possibly plan for. The key is to TRUST that everything is working in your favour and that it is all going to be okay.
I want to tell you Amber’s story, because it speaks to that side of all of us, I think, who want to live and work in an exotic place; doing what we absolutely love, and changing lives.
When I last caught up with Amber, she looked radiant in a sundress and a frangipani flower in her hair. The backdrop I could see behind her looked serene, tranquil, and, well, like she was Skyping in from a tropical island... and that's because she was!
There’s no failsafe rule for writing email subject lines that convert people on your list into paying clients. But there are a few guidelines you can follow to get your emails opened and read more often.
When Mailchimp conducted a study on email subject lines (they’re continually monitoring what works and what doesn’t), they concluded that short, descriptive subject lines do way better than “splashy or cheesy phrases” (their words). You can view their email subject line best practices HERE.
Email Marketing is very much about testing and measuring, so experiment with different subject lines and see what works. If one is a dismal failure, it will at least give you an idea of what’s NOT working. There’s no right or wrong.
