How To Stay Focused On Your Business During Chaotic Times

I know a lot of us are facing chaotic, uncertain times at the moment so I wanted to share how I have dealt with chaotic times in the past to keep focused on moving the needle forward in my business…

The last few days have been a challenging few. Right now I should’ve been sitting by the pool at my hotel in Austin.

Instead, I am sitting on my sofa at home, cramming in some work before my husband wakes up.

2 days ago, just as I was starting to pack for my month-long trip, someone rang to let me know John, my husband, was in an ambulance on morphine, and on the way to the hospital.

I won’t go into all of the details, but he’s now home – with a broken collarbone – and we’re navigating the next steps of surgery, healing and whether he can look after himself while (if) I’m away.

And you see, this is just the way it is to be an entrepreneur.

How PR Changed My Business And Upped My Expert Status

When I first started out as a new health coach, I noticed the same people seemed to get all the attention in the media. Their names consistently came up in places where I was hanging out online.

On the one hand, I was happy for them, because I firmly believe in appreciating the success of others and seeing that what is possible for someone else is therefore possible for me.

And it’s great that people are doing meaningful work and getting attention for it. Everyone deserves to have the highest success when they are authentically sharing their gifts with the world and uplifting others.

But..... on the other hand, there was one thing that kept nagging at me…

3 Ways To Get Your Spark Back (When Nothing's Going Right!)

“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.

How To Nurture Potential Clients With Newsletters (Using Mailchimp)

We’ve spoken a lot about promoting yourself, and building an audience via engaging content, in exchange for email addresses and I’ve had mixed responses ranging from ‘Super Excited’ to have these tools now and ‘Oh so Overwhelmed’ with technology.

I get it – I know you didn’t necessarily become a health coach to be a tech wiz, but there is a bit of business know-how that is needed to build your practice and get clients, so I will continue to create more ‘How-To’s’ to help us collectively rise – be seen, be heard – as health coaches.

Technology will not hold us back from making a BIG difference in the world!

The Lesson That Set Me On The Path To Success In My Business

Today, I want to share with you one of the most important lessons I have ever learnt. In fact, this lesson set me on the path to success in my business!

Let’s dive in…

I went to Design School, and I really struggled. Why? Because they talked about ‘concept’ and what I felt were other ‘wishy-washy’ ideas.

I wanted concrete answers: Numbers. Facts. How-tos.

And the fact that I couldn’t get them drove me insane.

The truth is, I don’t really like getting messy in my head.

How To Build An Email List Of Raving Fans (using LeadPages) For Your Health Coaching Business

Hi beauty,

Do you feel like no one is listening when you are looking for health coaching clients?

Like no one really ‘wants’ what you are offering?

Like people go cross-eyed when you tell them you’re a ‘health coach’

And if you are really, really honest, the only people you are really talking to are your family anyway….

Where are those masses of ‘raving fans’ you’ve heard other coaches brag about?

How To Sign Client Contracts Electronically (using HelloSign)

Systems and structures can sound so BORING or HARD for new health coaches and they are certainly not the sexy, freedom-based lifestyle ideas that we might have envisioned when starting a business.

But streamlined systems that work are actually really sexy!!

And today, we’re looking at how to set up a system for signing client contracts online.

Once your potential client says ‘YES’ to working with you, streamlined systems are imperative to ensure the sales goes 100% through with professionalism and ease.

How To Book Client Calls With Ease (Using Calendly!)

Hi ladies,

How did you get on with your One Thing last week?

I’ve heard some wonderful breakthrough stories from a couple of you who took action on last week's One Thing and posted your Canva image on Facebook to book Discovery Sessions with potential clients.

If you missed that mini-training, you can access it here >>

So following on with our Action April theme, this week’s One Thing is to set up an online scheduler so that clients interested in those Discovery Sessions can book a time to talk with you with ease.

One thing I have noticed through mentoring 100s of new health coaches is that sadly they can lose a potential client who has shown interest, purely because of the back and forth in setting up a good time that works for both parties to connect.

In this week’s Action April training, I guide you through setting up your online schedule using a free program called Calendly.

How To Promote Discovery Sessions On Facebook (using Canva)

Hi beauty!

It’s the beginning of April, and I have just re-set my ONE THING for the next 90 days and have SO much energy knowing it is going to be complete by the end of June! (Read on for more details about this method of working below the video.)

I wanted to share this method of working with you all this month, and so I have created Action April to give you ONE thing to take action on every week.

Each week I will be sharing with you a step-by-step ‘How-to’ for your business. If you do nothing else but this ONE Action each week, by May you will have taken some massive steps forward.

I’m going to make this super SIMPLE for you all – you don’t even need to come up with your ONE thing – I will email it to you each week and you just need to take action.
