    093: Why The Stage Won’t Bring You Clients (It Worked For Them)

    It looks like everyone successful got there from a stage: the TEDx talk, the PR, the crowd. But my biggest pitching win, top five in Boston in front of four venture capitalists, didn't happen on a stage at all. It happened in a boardroom. In this episode on how to get coaching clients without chasing the stage: → What actually won that room, almost ten years ago → Why the stage only turns up the volume on whatever you bring to it: the grey version of you, or the technicolour one → What thought leadership really grows from → The one thing to write down next time you feel that pull, so you know whether it's coming from clarity or from needing to prove something Get clear on what you do and who it's for at my free monthly live session, the Clarity Shift: https://offers.selenawoodward.com/the-clarity-shift-page Prefer to watch?

    092: One Client Conversation Beats A Week Of Posts

    This week's posts are scheduled, and you've got no idea whether any of them will bring you a client. Meanwhile, I went to a lunch where business talk was off the table and walked away with five follow-ups. In this episode I share three simple steps for getting coaching clients without a big audience: → Step 1: the one line to say about what you do → Step 2: three places to find your first thirty names (I didn't think I knew thirty people I could talk to about my business. I had to make myself put my pen down at thirty-nine.) → Step 3: your Landing Notes, so you know whether your message landed, in them and in you Posts keep you visible. Conversations are where people decide. By the end you'll have one line, one list and one conversation to have today. Grab the free guide, 3 Steps to a Message That Lands. It has the formula, the list page and your Landing Notes: https://offers.selenawoodward.com/message-that-lands-page Prefer to watch?

    091 - Why Nobody's Buying Your Offer (It's Not Your Reach)

    Nobody's buying your offer? I spent $250 putting my videos in front of 100,000 people. New clients: not one.When nobody's buying your offer, the obvious fix is to reach more people. I tested that with paid YouTube promotion, a Google ad to my freebie and a LinkedIn funnel, and every number went up except the one that matters. This video is for women who've spent years being good at something and are now building a business of their own that isn't selling yet. You'll hear how I actually got my first clients, why more reach wasn't the answer, and what that means for how to get your first client without a big audience. Then you'll get one thing to do this week that shows you exactly where your "oh, lovely" is coming from.Join me at my free monthly live session, the Clarity Shift, and get clear on what you do and who it's for:https://offers.selenawoodward.com/the-clarity-shift-pageCHAPTERS:0:00 Nobody's buying your offer: 12 weeks, one signup0:47 More reach, more of the wrong people2:16 Where my clients actually came from3:58 The crumbs and the bread5:01 Your one thing this week: ask two people what you doI'm Selena Woodward, a spiritual business coach helping women get clear on what they do so the right people understand it and buy. https://selenawoodward.com

    089: She Changed One Sentence. Now Clients Fly To Her

    Kirstie came to me wanting a new website. That's not what changed her business.Underneath the website request was something she'd been carrying quietly for years: four identities she'd never learned to hold as one person. Nurse. Midwife. Doula. Shamanic womb healer. The first three, she could say without blinking. The fourth took her longer.It took five sessions, not five years, to change that. Not a new website. Not a new funnel. One sentence she finally gave herself permission to say.In this video:→ Why "I need a better website" is so often a symptom, not the actual problem→ The exact question that surfaced what Kirstie had been avoiding saying out loud→ What actually changed in five sessions, and what didn't need to→ Why the fix came before the website, not after itThis is Video 4 in a five-part series on why getting clients feels so hard when you're already doing "all the right things."

    087: The Five Minute Check Before You Say Yes

    Your body already answered that contract. You've been calling it tired.How to listen to your body before you say yes to work you don't want: your nervous system sends a signal, never a verdict. When work lands that you could do in your sleep but that sits nowhere near the business you're building, cortisol goes up and says pay attention. Most of us hear "but it's money", push through, and file the heaviness under tired. This is a five-minute check you run twice, once on that contract and once on the work you actually want, so the gut feeling you keep overriding gets heard before you reply. You leave with four words, and tired isn't one of them. Bring the real email to mind, and your nervous system will show you a pattern you've been living inside.▶ Free PDF to write your four words on: https://offers.selenawoodward.com/the-five-minute-check-before-you-say-yes-page▶ Run this live with me, free, every month: https://offers.selenawoodward.com/the-clarity-shift-pageWATCH NEXTThe Contract That Cost You Six Months (start here): https://youtu.be/8-CVu2hgI_wThe Website You've Rebuilt Three Times: [V3 link when live]0:00 The contract in your inbox0:57 What your body is actually telling you3:18 Grab a pen (free PDF below)3:49 The check begins: baseline5:28 Picture one: the contract8:24 Picture two: the work you want11:15 Your four words11:46 What they mean12:46 Get steady, then decide14:21 Where "safe" is hidingSelena Woodward is a business coach and NLP practitioner in South Australia who walked away from her own six-figure business when her body told her to.
