I had a very thorough discussion with Linda Mendible on her podcast about using Youtube to pivot my brand and grow my creator business. I also share what I really think about social media (you will be surprised). Listen to the episode here: https://lindamendible.com/how-to-use-youtube-to-grow-your-business/

I just created a new training on how to create a marketing agency with virtual assistants. Link to watch is in the comments below 👇

You can't talk to your family (and even some friends) about your business.

They don't understand.

Sometimes you need someone who has been in your shoes or who has the type of business that you want, to get clarity on how to move forward.

This is something I have experienced and that's why I've hired mentors and business coaches who had the type of business I wanted to build.

My first mentor owned a profitable marketing agency and he was hands off in it.

So I hired him to learn how to build my own agency the right way.
When choosing a mentor, try to find someone who has the business model and even the lifestyle you want. It makes a huge difference on the advice they can give you.

I'm planning to open up spots for 1:1 mentoring and coaching for a few women who need clarity on how to pivot and scale their business in a way that gives them lots of free time for family and profit!

I'll be sharing the details soon...

What is the Elevate program?

It's an intimate coaching + course + mentorship and accountability group for WOMEN who want to grow a marketing, VA agency and build a life that gives them more time freedom!

You'll get access to our extensive curriculum library which includes:

Stop making your business about YOU.

It's not sustainable in the long term.

You need to change the way you view your business.

You need to treat your business like it’s an asset.

One that produces cashflow to fund your lifestyle.

As a women running or trying to grow your business one of the things you can start outsourcing are household chores.

I love to cook delicious meals...but only on the weekends. During the week, that has to be scheduled or outsourced!

Even things like laundry can be outsourced. There are so many services in your local neighborhood that can handle all of this!

You don't have much time in the day to run your business.

It's time to let go so that you can truly scale!

Branding is now more important than ever to stay relevant and be an authority in your industry.

Everybody and their mother started businesses and are "coaches", freelancers, consultants. That's why you need set yourself apart from the competition.

A brand position

This will allow you to stand out from the noise online and truly connect with your ideal clients.

I recently shared that I got burnt out from following the advice of some business coaches in the high ticket course space.

I love offering high ticket or premium 1:1 services.

But I don't love high ticket courses that are 15k or 20k.

I don't enjoy running them.

For that same price point I prefer to work with clients privately in a 1:1 container.

But a few years ago when I had my agency and courses, and a membership, some coach told me I was charging too low.

I needed to charge 10k for a course.

That never felt right to me.

They also said to get like 100s of people in it.

So I did it...and it felt like crap.

I was so stressed out. Panic attacks, anxiety.

It wasn't for me.

My life was easier with a few high ticket 1:1 clients and courses / memberships that were lower priced.

It had a passive funnel that was selling on auto pilot.

I barely did any work and was more relaxed.

And that's why I decided to open up another membership where women who offer services can get the hep and coaching they need without spending their life savings....

Like really, we already have inflation and eggs are expensive....

I want to make it easier for freelancers, consultants, service providers to get the tools, templates and mentorship they need an a community setting.

And thus was born the Profit Makers Club.

I'm so excited about what's to come and the virtual mastermind community I'm creating there to show women how to have a peaceful, low stress 6-figure revenue stream through SERVICES and some digital products.

A lot of online business owners have been experiencing a lot of burnout lately.

Myself included.

And what I've found is that many times it's because people have setup their business the wrong way.

Here's what I mean.....Let's say you are a social media manager or an aspiring one.

If you only work with low paying clients, you will experience burnout fast.

Or let's say you are a web designer and you are doing everything alone and feeling like you are working around the clock....

I've been there.

Here's the deal, you can structure your business the way you want it.

You don't have to listen to all the confusing pieces of advice out there.

You can do what feels right to YOU.

If you don’t want to hire people and prefer to be a solopreneur you can do it, BUT you need to create the right business model.

What this could look like:
.VIP days - this is where you charge 3k and higher to implement something within one day.Consulting - you charge for your advisory services.Premium done-for-you - take on a few clients and premium rates.Digital products - you can sell templates as passive income
​
Or if you want to create an Agency model, and there are pros and cons to that as well.

Here's what it could look like for you:
..You hire other people to do the work and you focus on sales and strategy for the client...You live off the profit margins...Your main job is to be a leader within your own micro-agency.​
​
However, you may not want to deal with hiring people. You may not feel like you are ready to manage a small team....that's okay!

Which business model is right for you?

It depends on your personality and your priorities.

What I have found is that people really need guidance and help to get clear about the best business model for their personal lifestyle goals.

That's why I'm excited to announce my new monthly membership community, the Profit Makers Club:

Inside the program we'll help you:
.Get clear on your business model and offers.Help you create a business roadmap.Provide you with templates and scripts to attract new clients.The good news is this, when I open up the doors, it will be less than 47 a month!
