In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Jeanne Omlor, a business strategist and coach who shares her inspiring journey from struggle to success in the world of coaching. Our conversation dives into the challenges faced when building and scaling a business, especially from a unique perspective—doing so without relying on paid advertising. Jeanne opens up about her initial struggles, revealing how, just five years ago, she found herself in substantial debt as a solo parent, grappling with the daunting task of transitioning to an online presence in a market that didn’t readily appreciate her coaching services.As we discuss how Jeanne overcame these obstacles, she shares the transformative moment when she landed her first high-ticket client just eight weeks after launching her online efforts—an achievement that propelled her toward generating a million-dollar coaching business in just 17 months. She unpacks the process behind this success, distancing herself from the often-glamorized notion of using ads to secure clients. Instead, Jeanne reveals that by focusing on authentic organic marketing strategies, she built relationships and engaged with potential clients meaningfully, urging listeners to recognize the power in direct conversations.Jeanne also provides valuable insights into the distinctions between growing and scaling a business. She defines growing as establishing a sustainable foundation that provides a lifestyle that aligns with one's dreams. Scaling, conversely, involves leveraging existing resources to increase business freedom. This nuanced understanding enables listeners to grasp the importance of solidifying growth before attempting to scale. Moreover, Jeanne shares that fear—particularly the fear of rejection—hinders many aspiring coaches and professionals from recognizing their potential and pursuing their business goals. She believes that detaching from the outcome of a single interaction can cultivate resilience and clarity in their entrepreneurial journey.HIGHLIGHTS:2:36 The Journey from Debt to Online Success7:01 Cracking the Code for High Ticket Clients11:37 The Importance of Authenticity in Business15:05 Embracing Technology in Business24:21 The Mindset of Business Owners28:42 Growing vs. Scaling a Business32:36 Personalized Coaching Strategies35:37 Building a Supportive CommunityCONNECT WITH JEANNE:WebsiteLinkedinInstagramYouTubeFacebookSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024PODCAST WEBSITE & LINKS:Check out the ULTIMATE PODCASTSGet Your Mini Retreat Playbook HEREEMAIL MEVISIT MY WebsiteFIND ME on FacebookFOLLOW ME on TwitterFOLLOW ME on InstagramEXPLORE OUR RETREATS HERE!INNOVATE & GROW for Business and Coaching LeadersINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care RevolutionJOIN OUR COMMUNITY - Living Your Ultimate Life Through Fitness & Self-CareANDROID USERS leave a REVIEW on PODCHASERAPPLE USERS leave a REVIEW on APPLE PODCASTS

In this episode I explore the importance of self-care not just for ourselves as entrepreneurs, but also for our businesses as we prepare for the year ahead. As we enter the fourth quarter—a pivotal time for planning and strategizing for the upcoming year—I emphasize the necessity of building a solid client experience that maximizes customer value. It's about ensuring that our clients undergo the transformations we aim to facilitate.I introduce the concept of mini intensives, a trend I've noticed gaining traction in the business arena. As many entrepreneurs begin outlining their plans for 2025, I believe there's a growing demand for specialized, short-term engagements rather than traditional year-long commitments. This format allows for deeper, concentrated focus while not overwhelming either the service provider or the client with excessive commitments. I aim to provide insights into how these intensives can be a strong addition to any business model, enhancing client experiences and potentially increasing revenue without adding complexity.During this discussion, I share what a mini intensive entails and why it could serve as an effective client experience. This unique opportunity enables businesses to delve into specific areas for improvement or growth, rather than skimming the surface of various topics. By concentrating on one aspect, such as enhancing a service or honing in on a particular marketing strategy, practitioners find clarity and actionable steps to implement. I share my observations and discussions with fellow entrepreneurs about this shift toward focused engagements, which often leads to greater satisfaction and transformation for clients.HIGHLIGHTS:18:34 Self-Reflection Questions22:21 Going Deep in Business26:30 Maximizing Business EfficiencySPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024PODCAST WEBSITE & LINKS:Check out the ULTIMATE PODCASTSGet Your Mini Retreat Playbook HEREEMAIL MEVISIT MY WebsiteFIND ME on FacebookFOLLOW ME on TwitterFOLLOW ME on InstagramEXPLORE OUR RETREATS HERE!INNOVATE & GROW for Business and Coaching LeadersINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care RevolutionJOIN OUR COMMUNITY - Living Your Ultimate Life Through Fitness & Self-CareANDROID USERS leave a REVIEW on PODCHASERAPPLE USERS leave a REVIEW on APPLE PODCASTS

In this episode of Creating the World's Best Client Experiences, I delve into the critical concepts of monetizing and maximizing your business, two terms that many business owners often conflate. These terms, while intertwined, represent distinct actions that can significantly influence your business's success. It's essential to understand that both strategies are vital; neglecting one can hinder your potential for growth and profitability.As we step into the final stretch of 2024, many entrepreneurs find themselves reflecting on their performance year-to-date. If sales goals remain unmet or sluggish, particularly in the fourth quarter—which I've consistently found to be the most lucrative—it’s crucial to reassess your strategies. Over the years, I've discovered that an intentional approach to maximizing your business can help sustain momentum throughout the year, rather than relying solely on peak sales seasons. This is especially important for those in cyclical industries, where certain quarters tend to be busier than others. The key lies in ensuring your entire business operates efficiently, avoiding slowdowns, and capitalizing on every opportunity.Maximizing your business operations involves scrutinizing your systems, offers, and client engagement strategies. Many business owners, focusing intently on sales, fail to recognize potential revenue gaps. I encourage you to apply a magnifying lens to your operations, examining where you might be inadvertently leaving money on the table. My goal for you is to not only close out 2024 strong but to position yourself for an exceptional 2025.Learn more and register for my Innovate Retreat in October 2024Connect with me about The Entrepreneur's Edge program SPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024PODCAST WEBSITE & LINKS:Check out the ULTIMATE PODCASTSGet Your Mini Retreat Playbook HEREEMAIL MEVISIT MY WebsiteFIND ME on FacebookFOLLOW ME on TwitterFOLLOW ME on InstagramEXPLORE OUR RETREATS HERE!INNOVATE & GROW for Business and Coaching LeadersINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care RevolutionJOIN OUR COMMUNITY - Living Your Ultimate Life Through Fitness & Self-CareANDROID USERS leave a REVIEW on PODCHASERAPPLE USERS leave a REVIEW on APPLE PODCASTS
