Screw The Nine To Five

“What if failure is the best thing that could happen to you? What if it was the redirection you needed? What if getting it wrong was the only way you could learn how to get it right...because it taught you a lesson you needed to learn…”   Be honest: When you were first starting your business, did the “F” word instill an overwhelming sense of fear in you?    If you’re like me, the answer to that is “HELL YES IT DID!”. And if you’re also like me, you’ve likely failed your way to success.    I mean, the amount of times Josh and I have fallen on our face is...well… too many to count! And yet, I am beyond grateful for everything we learned and all the pivots and tweaks that came out of those failures.    And these days? We lean into failure because we know it’s the only way to get better.    So how does one even start to reframe failure so we no longer resist it but WELCOME it?    Hit play and allow me to jam on that!

You have a choice in what you do AND don’t do. Often people pleasers will feel like they have to say yes when someone asks for help, otherwise they will be considered rude or selfish or mean if they say no. However, that is simply a belief YOU are choosing to stick with. It’s NOT the truth.”  Let’s keep it really real: It is truly draining to focus all your time and energy on trying to please other people.  The main reason being you will never please everyone. And secondary, it’s exhausting AF trying to do so.  What’s more is when you operate from a place of bending to someone else’s demands, desires and expectations, you dismiss what truly matters to you and makes YOU happy.  And since you’re the most important person in your business, it’s critical to prioritize your own energy and desires so you can operate from a full tank and make the dent on the world you’re here to make.  So hoooowwww do you upgrade this behavior and habit?  Listen in and discover 5 simple reframes and upgrades you can apply in your life to leave this tendency behind for good.  Read the full show notes: https://www.screwtheninetofive.com/460  

So here’s the deal: at some point in your business (probs more than once), you’re going to feel like giving up. (Trust us...it’s just the way it goes.) You find yourself thinking, “F this — this BLOWS. Why the hell did I quit my job for THIS?” The thing is, feeling like that doesn’t mean it’s time to throw in the towel and go back to working for Kevin, whose passion and vision lies in middle management. It just means you’re bucking up against hard times.  But that isn’t an excuse to bail on what you really, really want. So how do you push back the urge to go back to what you think will be easier (and spoiler alert: it won’t be) and keep on truckin’? That’s just what we’re diving into on this episode (so it’s a good thing you showed up)!

Selling gets such a bad rap, you know? Just saying the word can make you feel slimy, desperate, and needy.  But the thing is… selling can actually be a good thing when you hit it from the right angle. (I mean, you are a business owner after all. You gotta sell.)  Now, if you’re selling something you don’t believe in, of course it’s going to feel gross. #duh But when you have the perfect solution to people’s problems and approach it in the right way, how you (and your people) feel about sales totally changes. So how do you make that shift so you can start feeling awesome about it — and become a sales ninja?  We’ve got the goods inside this episode!   Read the full show notes: https://www.screwtheninetofive.com/458 Resources: Course Creator's Funnel - https://www.coursecreatorsfunnel.com  

Do ya ever wish that someone could just… lay it all out for ya?  You know, this whole “sell your course” thing. Sure, you see the big names having epic success, but what about people who are in YOUR stage of business?  Isn’t there someone who’s willing to spill the deets on what it ACTUALLY takes to create and launch a successful course when you don’t have hundreds of thousands to spend on ads or an entire team to support you? Um… yes.  We’ve interviewed 8 of them. And they’re spilling all of the deets on the simple sales strategy they used to take their course from idea to success.  You’re welcome ;) Read the full show notes: 457   Resources: Serena Shoup: https://www.ambitiousbookkeeper.com Glynis Carpenter: https://www.shine.us Ryan Chudyk: 1investmentaway.com Erica Terry: https://www.classroomtoceo.com/ Tanya Smith: Https://www.profitableportraits.com Magnus: https://www.mandolinsecrets.com Mariette Martinez: http://www.masteryourbooks.com/ Mel Rushing: https://www.mentalsweetspot.com   Show Notes Link: screwtheninetofive.com/457

If you listen to just ONE thing we tell you about launching your course or membership, let it be this... Create a virtual experience for your launch. Why? Because it’s one of the BEST ways to build attention and excitement for your promo. And let’s be real… offering the same tired old freebies is boring AF (you know it’s true). Just ask Caitlin and Jessica, who kicked some serious ass in their launch using our very own Facebook pop-up group strategy.  Caitlin hopped onto the show to tell us all about it.
