Why You Can’t Help Yourself In Your Business (Even If You’re an Expert) [Ep. 43]

Are you ever frustrated, annoyed, or even embarrassed that you can’t help yourself in your own business, especially in the area where you are an expert? I’m here to tell you that this is not only normal, but that it’s wise to receive outside help, even in areas where you have expertise.

In this episode, I’m sharing some thoughts with you about times you might need to get outside help in your business. But we’re going to focus on one that seems a bit silly, and that is when you can’t help yourself in the very thing that you do for others.

Recently I had an experience with my own coach as I was working on my landing page for my upLIFT Info Session. While this is something that I work with my clients on and provide feedback for them, she was able to give me feedback and make suggestions that I somehow missed.

And I know I’m not the only one who experiences this. I have had many conversations with other women who are experts at various things: copywriting, marketing, web design, coaching, etc. But they can’t seem to do that thing for their own business.

You need to know that this is totally normal, and it’s not something to be embarrassed about. The truth is we all need help in our business from others, and here are a few times that this might need to happen in your business.

Becoming Easily Referable [Strategy Session with Rachael Sanya] [Ep. 44]

Would you like to become easily referable? How do you stand out in an industry where many people are doing a similar thing?

In this strategy session I’m helping new VA Rachael Sanya get clarity around her offers, visualize and find her ideal client, and refine processes for onboarding and gaining referrals. You’ll hear my recommendations for how Rachael can set herself apart from other VAs and become easily referable.

Key Points Discussed:

Reflecting on what Rachael likes to do and what she might want to do more of.
Creating offers using a common thread of creative services.
Figuring out who to work with, and why an ‘ideal client’ isn’t always apparent right away.
Time management, scheduling work days and maintaining boundaries with clients.
Rachael’s “why” and what motivates her in her work.
Moving from hourly wage to retainers and packages.
Finding leads and creating an easy pathway for them to become clients.
The importance of a website and how to create copy that resonates and helps create a match with clients.
