We’ll talk through: Why it’s important to capture what matters in a written format How to identify the big “pickles” to put in your jar What an “I am” statement is, and why writing it as if it’s already happening can help you make progress Why we need to start with our “being” before moving to our “doing” We’ll also begin developing your own personal REALIFE View Document™, so make sure to download your free copy to get started!

Before we talk about what to do, it’s essential to pay attention to who we are. In this episode, I’m sharing the three signature tools we use for self-discovery so we can uncover what uniquely matters to us. We’ll talk about these tools: The REALIFE™ Needs & Values Assessment: Why giving language to what you require and desire helps you live out your unique calling REALIFE™ Enneagram: How knowing your internal motivations can help you live externally from an integrated place REALIFE™ Mindmap: How this approach to writing out your ideas can help you think outside the box As we prepare to dive into the components of the REALIFE Process®, we need to lay the groundwork. These tools will help you identify your unique personality so you can pursue what matters in your own life and business.

Why is it important to focus on what’s NOT working for your potential customers? In this week’s episode, I’m joined by our Marketing Director, Lindsay Sterchi, as we discuss why speaking to pain points and problems is the best way to connect with people through your marketing. We talk about: Why talking about pain points allows you to meet people right where they are at How to present your business as a solution to a problem Why only talking about vision and purpose is too vague and out of reach for most people, and what to say instead How to develop language that will help your customer connect with your business and services How to be authentic AND effective in your marketing messages Your potential clients may not see a path forward, but they CAN feel their pain! This episode will help you speak directly to your customers’ felt needs as you show them that you have the solution to their problem.

Are you truly an online business, or do parts of your business simply happen online? What’s the difference and why does it matter? In this week’s episode, I’m exploring a question that came up with a client recently about whether or not they have a true “online business.” Together, we’ll explore: The definition of an online business and why it’s different than a business that simply uses online tools How assuming you have an online business when you don’t can have a huge impact on your mindset as a business owner Why marketing locally and in-person might be a better use of time than focusing on online marketing The true use and benefit of social media if you’re NOT an online business Clearly identifying if you are an online business or not will impact how you approach marketing. This episode will help you clarify how and why to show up both online and in person as you seek to grow your business.
