6-Figure Secrets Allison Hardy

What’s something that you’re doing that pulls a ton of your time? Can you systemize it? Can you automate it?

In order to answer your questions about what I automate in my business, I was challenged to think about my business and what automation systems I have outside of my automated emails.

It is my goal that what I share in this episode will help you think of an automation that you are going to try in your business to buy back your time, make something easier for you, or make your communication more streamlined.  I find that hearing what other people do, even if it doesn’t directly apply to my business, gives me ideas and I can take that idea and run with it. So I hope that this episode can do that for you!

TAKEAWAYS:
Use Many Chat to automate or start DM conversations. Many Chat allows auto responses and links to be sent in real time so the conversion rate is higher. It also gives amazing market research and frees up my time by not making me feel like I have to be on Instagram all the time. Use a bundle auto responder. To be a part of my bundles, people must send in an application. What I was doing was a very timely process so I added Zapier to connect my Google Forms to my ConvertKit, and automate my process. This allowed for the application form to be filled out and then automatically put it in my email marketing software for me, which made a huge difference in gaining back time. Every single day I use Meta Ad. Yes, this is an investment, but it is producing sales and leads every single day. I can choose to lower ad spend or ramp it up, but it buys back time and produces sales, so it’s worth it to me!RESOURCES:

TAKEAWAYS:
Shift your money mindset. People sometimes become too focused on the income side of their business thinking they just want to make more money or hit 6 figures in their business. More income is great, but you want to change your mind from supporting yourself to creating wealth and financial freedom. Create a vehicle for money growth. Instead of staying in the “make money world”, trade it for the “grow money world”. Make the money work for you instead of you working for the money. One way to do this is investments. We discuss a couple ways to do this in the podcast episode. Have the right money systems. It doesn’t matter your income or profession, if you have the right money systems, you can set yourself up for financial freedom. One tip to do this, is to actively save your money. You can even set it up so that the money you want to save transfers automatically to some sort of savings account. RESOURCES:

I recently took a poll on social media about what my listeners wanted to hear about on the podcast and many of you said you wanted to learn more about Meta Ads. Meta Ads are paid ads that you run on Facebook or Instagram.

If you are like me, you probably don’t have a ton of time for active lead generation and Meta Ads can do the work for you. You should be generating leads daily and if you aren’t, you can’t scale your business. Meta Ads allow you to accomplish this goal, by getting in front of an audience that you otherwise might not have organically. 

TAKEAWAYS:

There are three components of Meta Ads and the creative part is really important because it’s the most obvious thing people see. Your goal is to stop someone’s scroll, so be strategic about what video or image you put with your ad. Use different types of ad strategies. I always have 3 different types of ads running: A warm audience, a warm-ish audience, and a cold audience. People get stuck in this idea that Meta Ads have to be to a cold audience, but you can send them to your warm audience as well. Don’t be afraid to start investing in ads. If you are thinking about running Meta Ads, you are going to put in money up front. But you will see that money come back to you if and when your email funnel starts selling.RESOURCES:

April Adams Pertuis is a dynamic force in the world of storytelling and visibility, empowering mission-driven female entrepreneurs and business leaders to leverage the strength of their Story to create more connection, build community, and increase deal flow.

She helps mission-driven leaders and entrepreneurs discover their inherent ability to reach people by teaching them how to share their story so they can create deeper connections and build strategic relationships.

As the visionary Founder and CEO of LIGHTbeamers, April pioneers the way for women to use their stories as a catalyst for growth. When April speaks, audiences discover the power of their own story to create more cohesive communities, build stronger relationships, and attract ideal outcomes. The key message is always “everybody has a story” and that story is a powerful beacon used to shine a light for others.

TAKEAWAYS:
Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable. If you think about those you follow and admire online, most of them have probably told parts of their story that you connected with. So think about how you can connect with your audience in the same authentic way. Know your ideal audience. When you know who you are talking to, you can tell your story from the viewpoint of where they are. They probably can most relate to your “before” because that’s probably where they are now. It all starts with them seeing themselves in your story.Your story doesn’t have to be in chronological order. We all have lots of stories to tell, but we also don’t need to tell every detail. Find the stories that will most connect with your audience and then use that story to tell the beginning, transformation, and other side, your message or lessons learned. RESOURCES:

With Summer Break quickly approaching, you might be wondering how your business is going to look this summer. The benefit of owning your own business is that you can shift and change it to make it work for you. I want to share some tips to help you make your business fit the type of Summer you want. 

TAKEAWAYS:
Be proactive. Look ahead and see what things you can do in your business now so you don’t have to do them this summer. One way that I like to think ahead is to do bulk work. If you have something that you do weekly, maybe there is a way to do batches of work so it’s already ready or scheduled out for the summer.Figure out what the bare minimum is that you need to do to keep your business afloat. When you know your bare minimum, it actually helps you get clear on what things actually need to get done. If possible, invest in outsourcing some tasks. Prepare now by thinking of what types of things you can automate. How can you create your sales on autopilot? For example, maybe instead of doing a live webinar every week, create an automated webinar. RESOURCES:
