    Ep 51: The modern day entrepreneur

    In a world where technology and creativity are increasingly entwined, being a modern day entrepreneur requires mastering both skillsets - something that didn't used to be the case. In this episode, you will learn: 1. The skills that modern-day entrepreneurs need in order to be successful 2. The importance of claiming your identity as a creative individual 3. The practice of creativity, and how it can help you get seen online "In order to do that, you need to put your creative hat on. You need to redefine yourself as a creative. You need to make sure that you make time for creativity and for play." I was a panelist on the Coffs Coast Creative Industries Visioning, the future networking event. It really got me thinking about entrepreneurship and the skills required to be modern-day startup-preneur, and I wanted to share those thoughts with you here in this episode. Previously start-up entrepreneurs needed skills like being a networker, a really effective networker. They had to get along to a lot of live networking events. They leveraged print media and the artwork was generally handled but the newpaper's graphic design department - not the business owner. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. The skills that modern day entrepreneurs need in order to be successful 2. The importance of claiming your identity as a creative individual 3. The practice of creativity, and how it can help you get seen online __________________________________________ Get my free 14-page Ultimate Start-Up Checklist for everything to take you from start-up success to growth and beyond:https://www.sharonjoycoaching.com/startup Find out how you can work with me: https://www.sharonjoycoaching.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sharonjoycoaching/ Podcast Disclaimer Loved this episode?

    Ep 50: To share your prices or not?

    For most of us, a key part of the sales process requires is to let potential clients know our prices and packages. In your modality training or business coaching groups, you may have been told to have them on your website or not have them on your website for different reasons. Perhaps your coach or trainer has a system that they use and teach that favours one or the other. Before you decide what's best for your business you want to listen to this episode. There are pros and cons to advertising prices and not showing them at all before a discovery or sales call. "I definitely think that the answer is very individual. But I think it's always wise to go in with eyes wide open because often I'll have new clients who perhaps have had other advice where somebody has really given a hard and fast way that they should advertise or not advertise their prices." In this episode, I talk about the benefits of both advertising and not advertising your prices publicly- particularly for those in the first few years of their business. You'll get a chance to consider what's right for you and what feels most authentic and aligned. __________________________________________ Get my free 14-page Ultimate Start-Up Checklist for everything to take you from start-up success to growth and beyond:https://www.sharonjoycoaching.com/startup Find out how you can work with me: https://www.sharonjoycoaching.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sharonjoycoaching/ Podcast Disclaimer

In this episode you will learn the 4 keys to being a strategic and soulful salesperson. "Despite your training and background, you are not a coach until you are a successful salesperson first.

    Ep 45: What I've learnt in the past year about online memberships

    It's no secret that my SOULiD Membership is my most favourite place to hang out on the internet!  This week we are celebrating SOULiD's 1st birthday which blows my mind on one hand and on the other it's like "of course!" Having seen so many memberships launch and end within 3-6 months, I wanted to be certain that I could hold the intensity of always being "ON" and also that my concept would grow legs. As it turns out, it did and here we are a year on in and just getting started! In this episode I share some of my biggest takeaways from having a membership for a year now which I hope will inspire and guide you if a membership is something that you've been considering. So here it is.... My top lessons from the past year! You will work harder for less money for a while and then things start to change where it feels like you're working less but getting paid more. Founders help you establish the culture. Closing the doors for 6 months after launch helped me to establish the culture and ethos of the group that has continued on The jury is still out for me on Live Launching vs doors remain open and running promos (you'll have to tune into the ep to hear all the pros and cons!) Memberships aren't the be-all and end-all of income for most people when they first launch. It's a long game so be sure you're fit to play it! Get crystal clear on your niche and your transformational promise Be guarded about keeping the niche fairly narrow if this appeals to you and therefore be sure you're willing to say to clients that it's not suitable for them There are some great benefits of having/being in a niched membership (again, tune in to hear allll the pros... personally I don't have any cons for this!) Memberships are not suitable for all clients and types of learners Memberships definitely don't replace offering 1:1 services!! Group programs are never likely to yield the same client results as 1:1. Be sure your members know this and offer them to work with you 1:1 when they're craving more or uplevelling. I can honestly say that launching SOULiD is one of the BEST THINGS I've ever done in my career and I don't plan for it to go anywhere anytime soon. I love group coaching and the benefits of group programs. Are you interested to find out more about the limited offer to join SOULiD as part of the 1st birthday celebrations?
