The Scaling To Business Success Podcast

Welcome to Episode 20 of the Scaling to Business Success Podcast! This week's episode is about helping you overcome the dreaded imposter syndrome as an online buisness coach, and it's something a lot of coaches deal with, especially those who are still working 9-5 jobs.

Let's dive in!

Imposter syndrome will have you looking at life differently, and it will also have you thinking that you aren't worthy of doing something you absolutely love because you're "not qualified". I used to have these same thoughts when I was focused on teaching YouTube a few years ago.

I felt that because I didn't have a ton of subscribers or a ton of views on my channel and videos, I wasn't worthy of teaching others how to have success on the YouTube platform. I remember doing a five-day challenge to help other entrepreneurs start their YouTube channels, and I only had 212 subscribers on my channel, wondering WHY IN THE WORLD were people taking action from all of the daily content I was helping them take action on.

I don't want you to have the same feelings that I had, and I want to help you put a stop to it right now.

2024 is on the way, and it's time that we start working to uncover the imposter syndrome, and figuring out how we can make this work so that we can start being more successful with our businesses and being a successful online coach.

I want to share my thoughts with you in this episode.

Let's get into it!

In this episode you'll hear:

• Understand WHERE the imposter voice is coming from. When it comes to having imposter syndrome, and you're looking at all of the competitors in your niche, you have to figure out where the imposter voice is coming from. Is the voice from a place of jealousy because they have what you don't have, or is it truly because you don't feel qualified to do what you are called to do? We are all put on this earth to do something in a way that helps others and makes us feel good about the work that we do. If you're focused on others and not having your blinders on when it comes to your business, the comparison bug will kick in and it will stop you before you even had a chance to do the work. Understand where your imposter voice is coming from, and understand why it's there and why is it stopping you from being successful with your business.
• Keep failure in perspective. All of the failures you've had in life are here to show you the correct way in how you should be operating. Many people see failures as literally a failure. They see it as the end goal of something when it's really trying to help you go down a different path. Failures are teaching moments, and if you're not learning anything from the failures that have come about as you've grown your business over the years, then you're not growing as a person. Just because you tried something once and it didn't work doesn't mean that it's the end. Life is trying to tell you that you're supposed to take another path and keep going! Keep your failures in perspective, and this will help you to overcome the imposter syndrome.
• Practice self-compassion. As business coaches, we don't give ourselves enough credit for all of the work that we do. Self-compassion is all about helping you feel good about the work you do, who you serve and how you're helping them on a daily basis. Be happy about the results that you have, whether they are good or bad. When you celebrate yourself and all that you do, things will start to look up for you and the imposter syndrome will slowly start to disappear.
• Reframe your mind around growth. Growth is inevitable, and if you're doing the right things to grow, then growth will happen. Creating a business while still working your 9-5 job is hard, and it's difficult when you can't see how or when the growth is going to happen. Always have a growth mindset when it comes to your business. This will help you to see that there are PLENTY of opportunities available to help you grow and become a better version of yourself.
• Write down your fears. When I did my very first 5-day challenge in 2018, one of the exercises was to help others overcome their fear of being on camera and their fear of being on YouTube. This was a fun exercise because it was something that I did for myself before I started creating online courses and programs around the topic. What I want you to do is to grab a sheet of paper, and write down all the fears you have about growing your business and putting yourself out there. Once you've done that, feel free to burn it (in a safe space!) or rip it up into tiny pieces and throw it in the trash. Writing down your fears allows you to be aware of them and why they're holding you back from sharing your greatness with the world. But in order to do this, you have to write them down so you can see how long these fears have been holding you captive and allowing the imposter syndrome to come into your life. DM me a p...

Welcome to the Episode 19 of the Scaling to Business Success Podcast!

In this week's episode, we're talking about how I'm using one funnel and one online course to help bring more success to my business for 2024.

Now, yes you can make money in your business in many different ways, and that can include having a ton of other courses that are making you money and helping to serve your clients. But what I've done is that I decided to simplify things: one funnel + one online course.

There's a thing going around in the online coaching industry that says that you need to have multiple funnels running on evergreen (autopilot) in order to make sales, but I don't agree.

When you know who your ideal audience is, you know what their problems are and you know how to get them results, you only need one funnel. That one funnel can reach millions and thousands of people (especially when you run ads to it) and it can help you to make sales automatically!

This is what you want to have!

I was always one to shy away from investing in running Instagram + Facebook ads, but I absolutely LOVE them right now and I will make sure that they continue to run at all times. This is one of the things you need to have if you want to find more people online and find more of your ideal people so they can purchase and invest in you as a business coach.

In this episode, I will share with you what my funnel looks like, how I'm running it, and why I'm going all in with this for 2024.

Ready to listen in to what steps I'm taking to make this all happen?

Let's get into the episode!

In this episode you'll hear:

• What my coaching program, Five Figure Launch Accelerator, is all about and how it can help you create a successful online course especially if you're still working a 9-5 job.
• How Five Figure Launch Accelerator is an eight-week online coaching program with group support and what all comes inside of the program to help you create your first or next $10k online course.
• What my one funnel strategy is how I'm currently running ads to this funnel - and why I'm no longer planning to do live launches or any free discovery calls to find my ideal clients.
• Why I'm going all in with this strategy in 2024 and how this will be the only strategy that I do with my online business.

If you're a business owner or entrepreneur who is struggling with business growth, and you're ready to do something about it, this episode is for you! Tune in to learn some practical tips and strategies for helping you incorporate new habits in your life.

Hello! Welcome back to another exciting episode of "The Scaling to Business Success Podcast". In this week's episode, I want to discuss how your next business idea can come from the bare minimum.

In last week's episode, I talked about how I created an online course that generated $10k while still working a full time job. But what I didn't talk about was how I literally created that course using what I had: my phone, my laptop, and my willingness to succeed.

Many brand new business coaches feel that in order to get started with an online course or a coaching business you need to have all the things: a website, a membership, a course hosting platform, and email list provider, and all the other things that many business coaches have.

I want to share with you my thoughts around starting from the bare minimum and how you can create a successful coaching program and online coruse from nothing.

Ready to listen in to what steps I'm taking to make this all happen?

Let's get into the episode!

In this episode you'll hear:

• How successful ideas come from the bare minimum. When I had the idea of my online course, it literally came to me and I decided to invest into a program that taught me how to utilize it to my advantage. This specific program taught me how to create that course without using a bunch of tech, and it really opened my eyes to how you don't need a lot to help you create a successful online course. If you are starting from the bare minimum and you're starting as a beginner, this is your time to really hone in on what it is you want to do! You truly have the advantage here because no one knows who you are in the online space, and you can truly bring your ideas to life.
• Why "The Power of Broke" inspired me to take action even when I didn't have a lot. This book by Daymond John is one of the books that inspired me to keep going even when I didn't have a lot of funds to get started with at the time. I didn't have the income for a course hosting platform, I didn't have the funds to create a website, and I didn't even think that I would be where I am today with my business. The point of this book is to show you that what you want to accomplish can happen, you just have to be willing to start from nothing. There's an example in the book of a cupcake shop in my hometown (Nashville, Tennessee) where the owner started at the beginning, and was able to take her cupcakes and turn them into a profitable business all over the country. Don't ever feel as if you can't become an "overnight success" especially when you're putting yourself online.
• How and why I was willing to start from scratch. In 2022, I decided to stop running my business and take a break from it. This meant that I stopped all of my ads, I deleted everyone from my list because I wanted to do something different. I spent all of my time gaining a lot of overtime at work during summer 2022 because the opportunity was there. But when I came back to my business, I realized that I was starting ALL the way over. Trying to figure out where my audience was now hanging out at, how to create content that would attract them and how to make it all work. What excited me the most about this is that I was able to build my list based on people that I acutally wanted to work with. The people who inspired me the most, and those who I knew that I could help.
• Not purchasing all of the business things. A lot of business gurus will always recommend some type of asset to help you run your business more efficiently. Every tool they recommend to you is not something that you need at the moment, especially if you're starting at from the beginning. I was the person who bought all the things, and realized that I didn't even need 3/4 of them. Don't be in a hurry to get to a certain level that your business mentors are at. It takes time, and there will come a time when you will need their business recommendations to help your business scale and grow.

If you're a business owner or entrepreneur who is struggling with business growth, and you're ready to do something about it, this episode is for you! Tune in to learn some practical tips and strategies for helping you incorporate new habits in your life.
