The Amy Porterfield Show

A sneak peek into my List Builders Society Monthly Q&AThe number one thing that stops people in their tracks when it comes to growing their business is that they don’t have an email list. If I could shout this from the rooftops, I would – because it’s that important. But the thing is, trying to figure out what your audience wants, and getting to know them intimately overnight just doesn’t automatically happen -- so when it comes to growing your email list, there are usually a lot of questions.  And that’s why I’m so excited for you to listen to this episode -- because you are getting full access to one of my List Builders Society Monthly Q&A’s, which you guessed it -- is all about list building. Let me just tell you, these questions from my students are good -- and there are probably some asked in this Q&A that haven’t even crossed your mind.So if you want to ramp up your list-building game, then pull up a Google Doc and get ready to take some notes because this episode is chock-full of tangible strategies you can implement right now to start growing your email list, and your business. Here’s a glance at this episode... [02:59] One of the most important assets you can create in your business is an email list.  [06:52] If you're struggling with growing your list, ask: Are you meeting them where they are? Are you getting your lead magnet in front of your ICA enough?   [10:44] Question: Where should I host my lead magnet videos?  [11:42] Question: How many #1 welcome emails do I need?  [13:04] Question: Should I hold back content to get people to subscribe?  [18:32] Question: Should I do more than sending a weekly email?  [20:08] Question: What’st the best free way to deliver lead magnet?  [24:49] Question: Should I have more than one lead magnet?  [34:53] Question: Should I start with a digital course or a membership?  [41:59] Question: Can I build my email list in only a month?  [45:56] Question: How specific should my ICA be?  [54:10] Question: How can I re-engage my podcast audience? [55:51] Question: How do I rebrand my Facebook group? [57:59] Question: What are your tips for getting a better conversion rate?

Don’t let your task list get the best of you -- give yourself some space, and some graceHave you ever been so in the weeds with your task list that you don’t even know where to start? I know I have, and let’s be honest -- watching your Asana tasks grow in real-time certainly isn’t a good feeling. In fact, I recently had an experience where I became so overwhelmed by what I had on my plate, and had to ask my team for additional time on things that were already overdue. As the captain of the ship, I won’t lie – I felt kind of bad about it. Like I was almost letting my team down for not getting them the deliverables they needed, when they needed them. I had to take a step back, look at the situation from a 30,000 foot view, and realize that my task list does not own me. And here’s the thing. Checking off those Asana tasks, as great as that would have made me feel, is not nearly as important as prioritizing my own mental health. I needed a little breather, and you know what? That’s 100% ok.So if you’re feeling like your task list is getting the best of you, tune in to this episode to hear how I give myself space, and grace, in super-busy times.I can assure you, by taking that little extra time for yourself when you need it, your work (and how you show up as a leader) will be that much better.Enjoy!Here’s a glance at this episode... [03:52] I was exhausted from my launch and didn't want to do the three hours of podcasts that I had scheduled.  [06:05] The work I do is important, but it's not life or death. We can make pivots and reschedule.  [07:04] If my team sees me saying that I need more space and moving things around, then they know that they can do that too.  [08:40] Using a time management tool like Asana, we can see what is planned and move things around if needed.  [10:19] Strength sometimes means showing up and being vulnerable. I know if I take a little extra time, my work will be so much better.

Take an approach to business that partners with your heart, body, and soul, instead of adding to your task listDid you know that 92% of small business owners have experienced mental health struggles over the past two years? Between recovering from the pandemic and the constant pressure of hustle culture, entrepreneurs all over the world are prone -- more than ever -- to burnout and depression. I’ll be honest, there have been plenty of times throughout my entrepreneurial journey that I’ve felt totally depleted.And although it’s so tempting just to get back on the horse and keep grinding through those tough times, it’s so very important to take a pause. Give yourself the time and space that you need, and then move forward -- because if left unaddressed, burnout can lead to some pretty serious mental health issues.That’s why I wanted to have my dear friend Mary Hyatt on the show. Mary is a holistic mindset coach who helps entrepreneurs create a life and business that lights them up from the inside, and doesn’t burn them out.She’s coached some of the top female entrepreneurs, C-Suite executives, and business owners in the country, and also has built a 7-figure business -- one that she operates from a place of grace and ease. In this episode, Mary will share:  How to get back into alignment with your most authentic self (and your business) when you’re burnt out Why tapping into the language of the body is so important when making stressful decisions How living in true soul alignment can make a drastic impact on your business What you can do to have a life, and business that feels good This is a really great listen – so if you’re interested in learning a holistic, action-oriented approach to overcoming your burnout, then pop in your earbuds and tune in!Here’s a glance at this episode... [07:27] Mary helps women get back in touch with their emotions, body, and own internal wisdom to design a life and business they love. [09:54] Being in alignment is having structural integrity with the most true parts of who you are.  [14:19] The first step is radical honesty or admitting that you're feeling deprived in some area of your life or business.  [18:40] A coach can help you say "what if" when leaving a situation that isn't working.  [20:23] Our physical bodies are a compass that helps us orient back to wholeness. Our bodies hold 80% of the wisdom available to us.  [27:29] We all have an amazing source of wisdom and have the answers inside of ourselves.  [29:52] Embodiment work recognizing that we have other bodies like physical, emotional, and a connection to something higher than ourselves.  [32:20] Four factors of aligned action include your energetic capacity, your emotional capacity, what you value most, and the season of life that you’re in.  [39:23] Having soul alignment can make your business sustainable for the long run.

Decision fatigue is a real thing – here’s how to move past itI’m sure you’ve heard before that one of the key characteristics of great leaders is their ability to make informed decisions quickly. And if you’re a business owner, then you fully understand just how many decisions you need to make on a day-to-day basis. Whether it’s a small decision -- like how you want your email signature to look, or something larger, like whether or not to hire a team -- making decisions is not always easy. And I’ll be honest, even though I’ve honed my decision-making skills over the years, there are times where I simply just don’t want to make them.Yes, sweet friend. Decision fatigue is a very real thing, and I’ve dealt with it a lot in my business over the years. So what do you do when you’re faced with making a decision that you just don’t feel like making -- especially when you don’t have a CEO to help guide you? And to take it one step further, does the fact that you struggle with making decisions make you inept as a leader?In this episode, I explore this – along with the three specific things I do in my own business when I’ve got to make a call on something and all I want to do is pass the buck to someone else.You’ll walk away with the tools to become a master decision maker (and troubleshooter), and make your next decision swiftly and confidently. Enjoy! Here’s a glance at this episode... [04:08] One of the qualities of a great leader is the ability to make informed decisions quickly, but hat happens when you're sick of making decisions? [07:46] Remind yourself that with every decision you make, you can change direction if you need to.  [10:03] Surround yourself with a few people who you trust that can help you make decisions.  [11:58] Tell yourself: I am a master decision maker. I'm also a master troubleshooter. Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!

Jasmine Star opens up about the friendships she’s truly grateful for in this heartwarming episodeThere are so many things to be grateful for as an entrepreneur -- the opportunity to do what you love, work from anywhere, and call all of the shots, just to name a few.But one thing on the list that often gets overlooked are those incredible friendships with other entrepreneurs that you create along your journey.It’s those entrepreneurial friends who can help you through the tough times in ways that other supportive people in your life simply can’t – not because they don’t want to, but because they don’t know exactly what you’re going through. For me, Jasmine Star has been one of those friends. She’s been with me for the ups, the downs, and everything in between. And I’m there for her, too.I won’t lie, what Jasmine shares in this episode brought me to tears.
