The Art of Online Business

On today’s quick tip episode, I’m sharing a recording of a recent coaching call that I had with one of our Accelerator coaching members.   This call is a 1-on-1 coaching call with Laura Peters from www.mikeandlauratravel.com.   Laura and her husband are travel bloggers who teach other people how to be travel bloggers.  ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Not too long ago, Laura’s business was ruling everything in her life.  She was working 80 hours a week, was super unhappy, and had no systems or processes in her business.    As you will hear in this short episode, everything has completely turned around in her business.   She is off the charts happy and is working less than she ever has before.  The main thing I want you to take away from today’s coaching call is the mindset shifts Laura’s made and how it’s shifted her business in tremendous ways. Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

If you’ve been listening to the show for some time, you probably already know my stance on live launches. I am not generally a fan of only live launching your offer. As I teach my Accelerator members, you can do live launches, but you should also be offering your program on an evergreen basis. ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Offering only live launches is stressful. There are so many moving parts and it can easily get overwhelming. If you’re tired of being on this live launch roller coaster, you’re in the right place. In this episode of Art of Online Business, I sat down with TaVona Denise to talk about how you can go from having stressful, unfocussed launches to having fun and profitable launches. TaVona Denise helps coaches and online service providers redesign their businesses so they can have the lifestyle and impact they started the business for.  A former physical therapist, master-certified life coach, and trauma-informed business consultant, TaVona uses her diverse background to help entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses with integrity and ease so they can bring in their favorite clients without suffering from burnout or hating the process.  TaVona is the author of Unstoppable Success: How to Finally Create the Body, Business and Lifestyle You Want and the voice behind the podcasts, Breaking Protocol, and Coaching & Conversations. When she is not handling business, you can find her singing karaoke or enjoying the white sands and beautiful blue waters of Mexico which she currently calls home.Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

In this quick tip episode of Art of Online Business, I’m doing an “Ask Rick” episode. This is where I answer questions that I get from people that I think would really benefit your business. ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍So in this episode, I want to talk about your role as the CEO. In past episodes, I shared more about why you should be incorporating CEO time into your business. This is when you block off time on your schedule to focus only on CEO things. You create space to be intentional and work through things in your business that need your attention. This really is like a secret weapon for growth in your business, and you guys let me know that this really resonated with you. I heard from many listeners that they really needed to hear that. I’m expanding on CEO responsibilities today and taking you through some high-level questions you should be thinking about and sharing a list of responsibilities that you should focus on as the CEO of your business.Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

In this episode of Art of Online Business, I’m sharing an interview that I did on Neill Williams’s podcast. She’s been on my podcast several times, and in this one, I interviewed her about one of her sales funnels for her business. She created a brand new program in the summer of 2022, and in the first 93 days of launching it, she generated over $100,000. ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍This was a brand new offer with a brand new audience. She didn’t market to her existing audience at all. She started entirely from scratch. In this interview, she shares why she decided to do that. We also break down the entire funnel.For the first half, she used an Evergreen funnel with no webinar or video series. Her new audience went from Facebook ad to the lead magnet, to the email follow-up, and then to purchasing her $2000 program. This is not an easy thing to do, not a lot of people can make it happen. In this episode, Neill breaks down exactly how she did it. She utilized the power of testing and had an enormous amount of success, and quickly.

Behind the scenes, things were not going well in terms of my health.I realized I needed to start creating my business around my life. When I made that mindset shift, everything started to change for the better. My physical and mental health and my relationships all improved.Not only did those things improve, but the health of my business also improved dramatically, because I was prioritizing myself and my personal life first and then the business.Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

I’m not sharing any forecasts or predictions. It’s hard to predict anything that will happen. So what I’m going to do instead in this episode of Art of Online Business is share nine thoughts on what’s ahead for 2023. Through my Accelerator coaching program, I have access to a lot of different types of businesses, mindsets, and strategies in addition to my own nine years of experience running an online business. So I have a lot of thoughts on ways that you can set yourself apart, and create a healthier, more sustainable business that will help you serve your people in a deeper way. Along with those nine thoughts, I’m also sharing a bonus thought that is crucial because if you don’t have it, it’s going to be very hard to be successful in your business or it’s going to take much longer for you to be successful.

Happy New Year! ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍In this episode of Art of Online Business, I am sharing my exact business plan for 2023. If you tuned in to the last episodes, you know I shared my biggest lessons and takeaways from 2022. So that provides a lot of context for why I set up my business plan for this year the way that I did. The problem was that I didn’t focus enough on the basics of my business in 2022. I didn’t give marketing the attention that I should have. I also didn’t focus on list building, getting on other podcasts, email marketing, or social media like I feel I should have. So today, I’m sharing the things that I plan to do in 2023 to get back to the basics as well as some other things I will be doing to add more simplicity to my business. Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

How did your business do in 2022?‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍I’ve had some pretty big lessons and takeaways during this year and in this episode of Art of Online Business, I want to share them with you. As a result of these lessons, I have some plans for how I’m going to be moving forward in 2023, and I’ll be sharing those in the next episode. To be honest, this year wasn’t as strong of a year in business as last year, and I learned a lot from it. A big one is that you need to be consistently planting seeds, or marketing, whether things are going well in your business or not. Aside from this podcast, I didn’t do as much marketing, and that taught me a lot. You can’t control what happens in your business, but you can control your thoughts about it and what you do with the lessons you learn. I’m sharing more about this lesson and the others that I had this year so that you can see how I’m planning to move forward in my business and start the next year off strong. Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!
