  1. 5 Things to Include in Your Online Course to Sell More and Scale Your Business

    5 Things to Include in Your Online Course to Sell More and Scale Your Business

    As a coach, service provider, or course creator, you've likely poured hours and hours into building and working on your business already. And when you’re passionate about what you do, you’re fine with that! But imagine how great it would be to be able to help more people and make more sales (and more money) while working less hours and having more freedom for the fun parts of life! I love going to the movies when everyone else is at work or at school. I like spending Mondays with my mum going out for afternoon tea. I love reading books, doing puzzles, and diving down reality TV rabbit holes. And I love not having to work at 11pm at night on my laptop anymore while the rest of my family is sleeping (which is what my business looked like at the very beginning when I almost burnt out after just a few months). Working tirelessly in your business shouldn't be your end goal. You can create a business that works for you—one that scales easily, bringing in more clients and revenue without you working more hours. Adding an online course to your business model is a great way to do this. Optimising your online course so that it sells more without you having to do more is even better! So in this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing five elements you can include in your online course that will not only deliver incredible value to your students but also help you make more sales and scale your business with less effort. --- Mentioned in this episode: ThriveCart: One lifetime payment to sell and host unlimited online courses (affiliate link) --- Come chat with me on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠! --- Ready to simplify your business?

She believes when you’re confident, you walk taller, smile more, jump at opportunities & feel amazing. Erin helps you to become the most confident woman in your work, money & play!

    How to launch without stress and burnout

    Let’s talk launches - do you love them or hate them? Lots of business owners, coaches and course creators approach them with a mix of excitement (potential for great sales) and dread (it’s a ton of work and what if it doesn’t bring in the numbers we’re hoping for?) Launches can feel quite overwhelming because there are typically a lot of moving parts to set up behind the scenes for something that runs for a short time. I wasn’t a huge fan of big launches for my first few years in business because of that workload - we all know I like to keep things simple!  But I also love a puzzle, and found launches really interesting when I watched my entrepreneurial friends do them! And they really can bring in an incredible amount of revenue, so I had a go, kept at it, and once I learned a few tricks to make launches simpler and more manageable, they became such a handy tool, not just for bringing in great money but for growing and scaling my business at the same time. Launches for my passive products are the reason I can keep my client numbers low and enjoy working just a couple of hours a day instead of full time, and I think once you find the version of launching that works best for you, you’ll love having that extra time and financial abundance in your business too! --- Mentioned in this episode: Jeff Walker's ⁠Product Launch Formula free masterclass⁠ *I'm an affiliate for Jeff, and receive a commission if you join one of his paid programs via my link Leadpages (affiliate link) ThriveCart (affiliate link) ConvertKit (affiliate link) --- Come chat with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! --- Ready to simplify your business?

    Outsmart your thoughts with Laura Aura

    Changing your outer world begins with rewiring your inner world and sometimes, that means leaning into temporary discomfort in order to set yourself free. As business owners, entrepreneurs, mothers, as people - I think we’ve all experienced what it’s like to have a goal or vision for your business or your life and feel like you’re working at it 24/7 but not really getting anywhere. You want to make a positive change, you ramp yourself up to do it, and then your brain kicks in. Thoughts like “what if”, “I can’t”, “who am I to even try” take over and talk you out of your idea before you even get started.  It’s time to stop fighting yourself and get out of your own way so you can have the things you want. My guest today Laura Aura has done a tremendous amount of work with her own healing and with going after what she truly wants.  Laura is a mindset coach, speaker and host of The Gutsy Podcast. She teaches people how to quit settling and start radiating by shifting their mind junk.  Laura helps women stop overthinking and overcomplicating their next move, allowing them to take steps towards getting what they truly want, and specialises in things like: Why your brain gives you ideas and then talks you out of them What your resistance and tendencies can tell you about your desires How to recognise and interrupt the mental cycle that holds you back The difference between temporary and perpetual discomfort How to move forward with your desires using her Powerback® Process As an all-around visionary, she is the first to push you out of your comfort zone and the last to hug you as you head to the next level and start embracing a life you feel alive in. Listen in as Laura and I talk about how she got out of her own way, how we can figure out what we really want, how to shift our thoughts in the moment, and why we typically talk ourselves out of what we want! --- Mentioned in this episode: See more from Laura at her website, and on Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook Get Laura’s  “Foundations for Getting Out of Your Head” free 5 day private podcast experience here: https://lauraaura.com/foundations/  --- Come chat with me on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠! --- Ready to simplify your business?

  7. The templates that free me up as a business owner

    The templates that free me up as a business owner

    Want to get more done, in less time, with less effort? Me too! I’m big on efficiency for two reasons, I want to deliver a quality service to my customers, and I like a lot of free time. No matter what kind of business owner you are - a coach, a service provider, a course creator - we often find ourselves juggling multiple tasks, feeling pulled in different directions, waking up with a to do list running through our head that always feels urgent, struggling to balance our professional and personal lives.  How do we tick off those to do’s quickly and easily so we can focus on the parts of the business that light us up, or take more time off for ourselves without sacrificing the quality of our deliverables? For me, templates are the answer. They streamline my processes, the save me time, they let me focus on the stuff I love doing, and they help me delegate! Here’s a breakdown on the types of templates I find myself using over and over again in my business because they really free me up a lot. And as an added bonus, some of these also take away the emotional tie I have to the activity, if it’s something I feel nervous about doing, having the template helps me do it with less stress, and without stumbling through it! --- Mentioned in this episode: My Time-Saving Templates Manychat (affiliate link) ⁠Book Like A Boss (affiliate link)⁠ --- Come chat with me on ⁠Instagram⁠! --- Ready to simplify your business?

    Making the Most of Your Your Time as a Business Owner

    If you’re a business owner, course creator, service provider, or coach who has been in business for at least a couple of years, you’ve probably realised that striking a balance between making great money and working hours that suit you can be a bit of a juggling act.  But it is possible!  I like to work mornings and take the afternoons & evenings off and I like going to the movies on Thursdays when everyone else is at work or at school, sitting in Gold Class in the dark for a couple of hours while people bring me snacks 😉 🍿 - it’s the best! So a few years ago I took a bit of time to asses my business structure and strategy, and tweak it so that I could help more people and make more money while working less hours. It’s been a game changer for me! I love what I do and I’m passionate about helping other people, but I don’t want to serve everyone else 24/7 and put myself last on my priority list!  I like having free time to sleep in, take a long walk every day, read my books, do my puzzles, watch my shows, pursue other fun projects - I also do a little extras acting here and there on commercials, tv shows and movies! I also want time to dive deep into self care, and when I do that, when I take that time for me, I show up better for everyone in my business and my life, and I have a feeling if you free up some time to take care of yourself, you’ll show up better for everyone else too! So today we’re going to take a little step in that direction and I’ll show you how I streamline my work as a business owner in a way that boosts my sales, and gives my clients a high quality experience without me needing to work full time hours. --- Mentioned in this episode: Virtual Summit Search Speaker Directory App Sumo: Great deals on software to help streamline your business processes Ruby Lee’s productivity flow track ConvertKit: (soon to be known as Kit -affiliate link) Google Workspace (affiliate link) Book Like A Boss (affiliate link) --- Come chat with me on Instagram! --- Ready to simplify your business?
