On today’s episode, we chat with Jess Massey who created the Hustle Sanely framework on accident while she was in grad school. She realized she couldn’t do everything – she was tired, and her mental health was suffering – and this new framework was born! From the Hustle Sanely framework came the Peacefully Productive Week framework, which helps you get all the things done WITHOUT pulling your hair out! (she loves a good framework!) If you feel like you have too much to do for this to work for you, Jess recommends taking an honest look at your life and how you spend your time. Understand that creating a Peacefully Productive week doesn’t have to be “all or nothing.” Try choosing just one or two things to focus on improving and go from there! Finally, Jess shares how she uses batching and time blocking to get it all done in her own life.

Today we welcome Melissa Lin to the Crush the Rush podcast. Melissa went from chemical engineering to online business coaching. She shares how her corporate job might have looked like she was living the dream on the outside, but on the inside, she was exhausted and unhappy. Interestingly, her first venture was as an online health and fitness coach.

Before you even START with strategy, though, you must have the right sales mindset! If you believe selling is BAD or GROSS, you won’t do it! So, shifting the stories you’re telling yourself around selling is step number one.Then, it’s important to get to know your audience, ask them questions, provide value, and offer lots of “permission slips” asking for the sale.

So, believe in abundance and never stop trying! In this episode we cover:Let’s get to know Melissa – how she went from chemical engineering to online business coaching Melissa shares her sales strategy tips How to start feeling GOOD about selling How to ask for the saleHow Melissa sells on a day-to-day basisGetting the sales without the hustleHow to address objections ABOUT MELISSA:Melissa Lin is a previously successful chemical engineer turned multiple six-figure business coach and business owner.
