How to update your offers without alienating your current audience
A lot of our clients, as their business grows and develops, naturally update their offers. For instance, one client had a course, and they increased the price and decreased the amount of support they were personally offering. Which was a wonderful good thing, because they had been very much undercharging, and giving a lot of […]
What if you were really trustworthy concerning your business?
Whether we’re talking about business development, financial issues, or personal transformation work, there is this baseline assumption that somehow, somewhere, with something significant, we’re going to have to “push through,” or “get over,” or somehow “change our mindset” to achieve certain significant things. Since I became more conscious of them, I stopped being a fan […]
Sharing
With fasting for Ramadan, my energy is very much lower. Even if you’re not engaging in a month-long daylight fast, I’m sure you’re familiar with periods of LOW energy… haha! Aren’t we all? The thing about Ramadan is that my energy goes up and down during the month. Some days I can be ecstatic and […]
Making business joyful and light
I was talking with my own coach, and a realization surfaced for me. It’s something that is so familiar and normal, that I don’t often highlight it. Business can be incredibly fun and joyful. When I think back over the last 22 years of being in business for myself, there are so many moments of […]
The next step is always simple
I see so many people struggle in their business when they try to take on really sophisticated approaches. Creating an entire course in their first year or so of business. Launching an entire membership site in the first three years. Putting a sophisticated sales/enrollment structure and follow-up in place… Can I whisper an open secret […]
Knowing Strength among other things
There is a book from the Tamil culture, called The Kural, revered and sacred, that is often compared as an equal to the Tao Te Ching, but is very little known in the Western world. Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma is the author, translator, poet, who has brought this work to life in the English language that […]
Newsletters are meant to be consensual
I was having a familiar conversation in one of my small groups, about the length and scope of content in your newsletter. On one hand, you do want to give enough to be impactful. On the other hand, you don’t want to flood someone. Sometimes this question revolves around whether it’s stingy to hold back, […]
How to avoid getting your invite email deleted
I get invitations to collaborate, or promote things in my inbox all the time. Most I just delete, or reply to very briefly. However, there are some that actually engage me. I honor all (well, most) of the invites. It takes vulnerability to reach out like that. And it can be a really powerful way […]
Short rant on privilege and time
Short rant for this week… and yes, that’s a picture of me in front of the sink, going to do dishes after talking to clients and community all day. 🙂 I was on a call with the members of our Learning Community, and someone mentioned how they were in a free course with someone else. This […]
What might be happening if you keep going over on your 1-1 sessions.
In our Learning Community, one of the members asked on a coaching call, “I keep running over on my individual sessions with clients. How do I stop over giving to them?” Let’s stop right there. It’s so interesting to me how hard we can be on ourselves. The first thought was that they were over […]
