Back To Community: Elevating Business Success

If you’ve found yourself saying things like “I really want to do that, but I just don’t think I have the time…” and you feel like you’re always busy crossing things off a seemingly never-ending to do list  but aren’t getting the results you want from your business, this episode is for you. Today I’m sharing with you what I did to reach consistent $5K, $10K, and $20K months in my business and more importantly, everything I DIDN’T do to get here.   In today’s episode, I’m sharing: A totally transparent peek at the activities I focused on and those I didn’t to help me get from $0-$5K, from $5K-10K, and from $10K-20 cash months in my business, and how you can rearrange your priorities to help you reach your income goals faster, too. What it really means to be making $20K a month consistently The real question you need to be asking yourself to find out what is keeping you from the income goal you want How i surpassed my attorney salary within 3 months of going full time in my own business What you really need to be doing to hit your first $5K month (and what you need to stop doing) How i signed my first 10 clients without any set offers, a website or business cards — all within the first 30 days of my business When I hired a VA in my business The difference between networking online and networking offline What’s keeping you from that $5-10k month (and how to fix it) The lesson I learned that could have gotten me to $10k months sooner  What I did and didn’t outsource to get me past $10k and to 20k And so much more!   The Six-Figure CEO Mastermind:  https://ritamademedoit.lpages.co/sixfigureceo/   Join me in my FREE private Facebook community, the All-In entrepreneur: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theallinentrepreneur/   Connect with me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/ritagoodroe

Today on The Rita Made Me DO it! Show I’m talking with Kristine Goad about living out your biggest, boldest, most audacious dreams and how, no matter what your age, profession or situation in life you can reinvent yourself.  She also shares how doing the things that scared her most led her to create the Surfing Your Edge Experience, which helps women expand their comfort zones, re-envision who they are and what is possible for them - through the power of coming together to learn to surf.   Kristine Goad is a personal transformation coach and adventure retreat leader.   She gets bored easily and doesn’t fit into most of the standard boxes current society provides. As a result, she's made a life out of reinventing herself, asking questions and following where they lead, and doing the thing that scares her most at any given time. She's at her best when she's in over her head and having to figure out what comes next, which is why she's usually in the middle of doing something she doesn't yet know how to do.    She calls that surfing her edge.    Along the way, Kristine has written and published a book called Your Mileage May Vary; led a fundraising team for a national environmental organization; written for magazines, newspapers, and websites; participated in the largest cross-country bicycle event in U.S. history; competed in what was at the time the largest sprint-distance triathlon event in world history...all of which led to Kristine founding the Big, Bold, Begin It Project in 2015 to help people get their dreams out of their heads and into the world and the Surfing Your Edge Experience in 2018 to help other women expand their comfort zones, re-envision who they are and what is possible for them, and surf their own edges in whatever parts of their lives they choose.    Join us as we discuss:   How Kristine went from being terrified of open water to hosting an annual surf retreat for women Why Kristine stayed in a toxic job and how that same thing may be keeping you in situations that aren’t moving you forward What a palm reader told Kristine that created a series of events that took her from fundraising for a non-profit in DC to surfing the waves in Panama City If you want to have success in any area of your life or business, this is how you have to show up…. How one Facebook post got Kristine her first 6 clients and why you should do the same if you are just starting out in your business What most people don’t tell you when they announce that they quit their job to start their own business Three things that enabled Kristine’s first retreat to be a big success You think it’s a sign to not do something bit it’s most likely this… What to do if you don’t fit into the box people are trying to put you in How a mistake made on her first retreat showed Kristine what she needed the most to be a powerful coach for her clients An unlikely sign of perfectionism and how it may be holding you back in your business   And so much more!   Surfing Your Edge Retreat & Group Coaching Program: http://surfingyouredge.life Kristine Goad: http://kristinegoad.com Surfing Your Edge Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/surfinyouedge Women Surfing Their Edge Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/womensurfingtheiredge/ Canva:  http://canva.com “Your Mileage May Vary” by Kristine Goad: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/your-mileage-may-vary DC Podfest:  http://dcpodfest.com American Lung Association:  http://www.lung.org “Phenomenal: A Hesitant Adventurer’s Search for Wonder in the Natural World” by Leigh Ann Henion  https://www.amazon.com/Phenomenal-Hesitant-Adventurers-Search-Natural/dp/0143108034 “The Next Big Idea” podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-big-idea/id1482067226 “The Brendon Show” podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brendon-show/id821746377 “Positive Mindset for Entrepreneurs with Dana Wilde” podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/positive-mindset-for-entrepreneurs-from-the-mind-aware/id1044864838   Join me in my FREE private Facebook community, the All-In entrepreneur: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theallinentrepreneur/   Connect with me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/ritagoodroe
