She Means Business Show

With everything that’s going on in the world right now, creating a membership site for your audience means that you can grow a stable and successful business that generates recurring revenue.  But regardless whether it’s a membership site, a course or an e-commerce website, the majority of people never even get their idea off the ground. So many of us are guilty of this: we get into our own heads and we get hung up about having tons of content and everything looking “perfect” before we even try to share our idea with the world.  It’s the difference between those who stay stuck and those who go on to create successful businesses: success comes from finding the courage to launch way before you have it all figured out! This happens because we compare our chapter one to someone else’s chapter 20, so in this episode I wanted to give you a look at my own chapter one.  I want to take you back in time and show you how much I really didn’t have things figured out when I first launched the Members’ Club and how far it was from perfection! I hope this episode shows you that if you have an idea or a desire to create success, then you have to find the courage to just go for it, before you even feel ready to take the leap!

One of the biggest misconceptions about having a successful launch is that you need a huge audience of thousands of email subscribers and social media followers. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! Making 5 or even 6 figures in your next launch depends a lot more on the quality and engagement of your audience than it does on the number of followers you have. My amazing friend Michelle is proof of this, having scaled her business to six figures over the past few years with a small audience and no paid ads. Her story shows what’s possible for all of us when we just find the courage to stop hiding and put ourselves out there, even when we only have a small audience. In this episode, Michelle Rohr, who is the founder of the Secret Owl Society, shares behind the scenes of her most recent launch. Along with her business partner Aimee, Michelle recently launched her newest product to an email list of just 3,800 subscribers and an Instagram following of 2,000 followers. Selling a simple $50 digital template kit with a $7 order bump, they generated $16,000 in revenue within a few weeks and the orders just keep coming in!

Over the past couple of years I’ve been facing a serious challenge to grow my business. From the outside, you couldn’t really tell what was going on, but behind it all, I’ve been struggling on a personal level. So in this video I wanted to give you an honest glimpse into the reality that often hides behind the “picture perfect” highlight reels we see on social media. It has been a messy and crazy journey, but throughout it all, even when I was feeling the most stuck and confused, my business continued to grow and thrive. And the reason that my business has continued to generate over six figures per month through this really difficult time is down to one thing: recurring revenue. Recurring revenue is the most amazing thing you could create for your business! So in this episode, I wanted to give you some fun ideas to get your creativity flowing and help you see all the possibilities for adding a recurring revenue stream to your business. In the world we’re living in today, business stability is such an important thing. And along with that, we’re all craving human connection online more than ever, so for these two reasons, there’s never been a better time to dive into creating a membership for your business! In the video I share: > Some amazingly inspirational success stories that my friend and mentor Stu McLaren shared with me from students of his incredible membership course: TRIBE. > The tops 3 types of membership sites you should consider if you decide to create one for your business > 5 types of content you can deliver to your members, how to make it really simple to deliver monthly content and also how to take content creation completely off your shoulders. Over the next few weeks I’ll be hosting a free pop-up Facebook Group called Membership Mentoring with Carrie and Stu, with my good friend and mentor Stu McLaren. Stu is the top industry expert when it comes to building membership sites and I couldn’t have grown the Members’ Club as much as I have without his incredible insight. Stu will be joining me for some amazing live sessions so that we can answer your questions and help you understand how to build a membership site. Stu also has an amazing free video series coming up, where he’ll dive deeper into membership strategies and how to build your own membership site. Recurring revenue has honestly been a blessing for my business and has helped me build so much confidence, stability and success. I know for sure that if I can build something like this, you can too! So make sure you watch the video and then join Stu and I inside the Facebook Group!

In these strange times when so much of the world’s population is in lockdown at home, many of us are facing uncertainty and fear that we weren’t facing just a couple of months ago. For a lot of us, that includes uncertainty around our jobs, business and income. But this lockdown has also created opportunities. More than ever before, people are at home, shopping online, browsing in search of online solutions, services and learning. So with the internet now being our key connection with the outside world, there has really never been a better time to tap into the power and opportunities of this platform that is open to every single one of us! I always think it’s fascinating to get a glimpse into how people make money online, especially if they’re doing something they’re really passionate about! So a few days ago, I asked the members of our Members’ Club to share all the incredible ways in which they make money online and I’ve put together a list of ideas that I think will spark loads of inspiration! Regardless of whether you already have an online business or not, these money-making ideas will help you see how much is possible... from adding a new income stream, turning an idea into income, starting a side hustle or even creating a completely new business from scratch! If you would love to discover the step-by-step process for turning your ideas into income, then click below and check out our “Make Money Doing Something You Love” bundle, which includes an audio programme, workbook and guided visualisation!

Recently I got to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a really long time… interview my dad! He’s been my biggest business inspiration and the person who’s had the most impact on helping me to create the success I have. I turn to him for business advice all the time, especially when I’m facing challenges or uncertainty. So I asked him if he’d come and share his words of wisdom with you… and it’s turned out to be the MOST inspiring interview I’ve ever done! I’ve never known anyone to work as hard as my dad and I’ve never known anyone to have as much grit and determination as him. He has the ability to keep going, even when things seem impossible and he’s constantly learning new things to help him create success – from cosmic ordering, to daily meditation and his favourite mindset books – we talk about so much. I hope this leaves you feeling so fired up and uplifted! Leave me a comment and let me know what your biggest takeaway is. Carrie xx

We’re facing some crazy things in the world right now that are leading to a lot of uncertainty, fear and challenges. So I really wanted to do something for this amazing community to help us all during this time. I had a good think about what I do when I’m struggling with uncertainty, challenges and fear and I realised that I turn to some incredible people to help me through. So I reached out to these people and asked if they would be up for doing a Facebook live with me to share their amazing wisdom with you. This is the first of 5 Facebook Lives and it’s with my husband, Kelin. He’s the first person I turn to when I’m feeling uncertain or full of fear, so I thought it would be fun to chat with him and share how we stay positive together. This Facebook Live was inside our Members’ Club private Facebook group, but I really wanted to share it with you too. In it we talked about: Specific things we do together to stay positive How we get intentional about creating a happy and positive vibe at home I share questions from a workbook I made for us to fill out when we got married to help us build a solid relationship And how we’re coping working from home with Kasey, our one-year-old! (We had to ply Kasey with treats and Peppa Pig to keep in quiet as we went live haha. Obviously, he still wanted to be heard and at the end he makes a very cute appearance!)   I don’t normally do such personal videos and interviews, but given the nature of everything going on right now, we’re all feeling the impacts of it on a deeply personal level. There’s so much emotion and it’s such a testing time that I wanted to get personal about how I’m dealing with it. Enjoy and stay safe. With love, Carrie xx

For the past six years I’ve focused almost exclusively on building a membership site. My membership site now has over 5,000 active members, with the membership fee costing $47 per month. I’m a big advocate for membership sites as they can be an incredible asset for your business, so in this post I’ll be sharing how you can get started with building a membership site that can generate passive income for you every single month. If you would like to dive deeper and get more help with building your membership site, make sure you check out my course, Start & Grow Your Membership Site, where I share the blueprint of the process I followed to build the Members’ Club to over 5,000 active members.

We all go through periods where we feel completely stuck in a rut and it can feel so frustrating when you just can’t seem to move forward. If you’ve been feeling frustrated because you just can’t seem to be the person you need to be to create the business and life that you dream of, then this guide is going to help you turn that around in a few simple but powerful steps. The tips I’m sharing in this post have helped me time and time again throughout the past few years, giving me the fuel I need to start moving again whenever I’ve felt stuck, lost or frustrated. Finding powerful ways to shift myself into a growth mindset has been one of the most important things I’ve ever done that has completely transformed my life. From 2008 all the way through to 2011 I was stuck in a massive rut, feeling completely lost as to where I wanted my life to go. I had this feeling deep down inside that I wasn’t living the life I was meant to be living. I felt like I was playing small, like there was so much more meant for me. I just wasn’t living up to my potential and if you’ve ever felt like that, you know how annoying it can be.

THE TURNING POINT I knew that things needed to change and in 2011, I got to a point where I was completely fed up with my own excuses and I finally decided to do something about it. I realised that I was the problem and that my own mindset was the only reason that I was feeling so stuck. I knew I was also the only person that could get myself out of it. I had to change who I was being, the thoughts I was thinking, the way I was showing up every day and the habits I was practicing. So I did some simple things that had a really profound impact and since then, I’ve been repeating these same steps and they’ve worked for me every time, so I know they can do the same for you.
