Deep dives
Core Values in Business Decision-Making
When considering any new offer for a business, alignment with core values is essential. Each decision should reflect who you serve, how you add value, and your long-term vision, ensuring that it contributes positively to both your audience and business. The speaker emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing opportunities critically to avoid burnout and maintaining focus on what truly matters instead of succumbing to the 'shiny object syndrome.' Ultimately, every new initiative must be a thoughtful addition rather than a hasty reaction to external demands.
Launching Two New Programs
The introduction of two in-person events marked a significant milestone, reflecting a shift in the speaker's approach to business after a four-year hiatus from live events. The first program, Made to Scale Mastermind, targets women aiming to scale their business into multi-million dollar territory, while the second, the Millie Club, supports those aspiring to reach their first million. Both programs integrate live events for deeper personal connections, fostering trust and collaboration among participants. This strategic decision involved extensive planning to ensure each program serves a distinct audience within the larger community.
Connecting with the Audience
A key reason for adding in-person events was to enhance understanding of the audience, especially their current challenges and aspirations. The speaker candidly shares a moment of realization about the disconnect between her own financial experiences and the participants’ realities, highlighting the necessity of empathy and awareness in serving them effectively. By closely engaging with participants, she could offer tailored guidance, ensuring that the advice aligns with their current stages in business. This connection not only enriches the experience for attendees but also helps the speaker gauge how to support their growth moving forward.
The Importance of Long-Term Planning
Introducing new offers should come with a solid long-term strategy rather than merely responding to immediate requests. The speaker advocates for mindful decision-making, ensuring that any additions align with overarching business goals and values. Experimentation is encouraged, yet it should always be framed within a context that allows for evaluation and potential continuation based on effectiveness. This balance between innovation and structured planning empowers entrepreneurs to grow sustainably without losing sight of their mission.
