The Importance of Knowing Your Numbers, with Leandra Nisbet

The Importance of Knowing Your Numbers, with Leandra Nisbet Leandra Nisbet is the founder of The Stingray Advisory Group. Her focus is on making complex business tasks approachable and actionable for entrepreneurs. She's passionate about empowering business owners to leverage their numbers effectively. We dove into some of the biggest mistakes that entrepreneurs make in their online business, as it relates to finances. First Mistake: Not Separating Personal and Business Finances: Many entrepreneurs overlook the importance of separating personal and business finances. Having a dedicated business account streamlines financial tracking and saves time and stress in the long run. Second Mistake: Trying to Serve Everyone: You must niche down and be intentional with your target audience. Trying to serve everyone dilutes your brand and marketing efforts. Focus on engaging with the right audience for your business. Third Mistake: Lack of Systems and Processes: Not having systems in place can hinder business growth. Establish processes for project management, expense tracking, and income management to ensure efficiency and scalability. Project Management Tools: We discussed project management tools like Zoho Projects and Asana, emphasizing the importance of centralized platforms for effective project management. Cash Flow Management: Cash flow is essential for business survival. Regularly track income and expenses, analyze historical data, and forecast future cash flow to make informed financial decisions. Three Steps to Start Tracking Numbers: Begin by reviewing expenses: Analyse your bank statements to understand where your money is going. Implement systems for income management: Set up automated invoice reminders to ensure timely payments. Develop a budget: Start with a simple budget template or use accounting software to track income and expenses regularly. Expense Planning Calculator: Leandra offers an expense planning checklist and calculator to help entrepreneurs track their finances effectively. Remember: Knowledge is power. Don't be afraid to use data to your advantage and take control of your business! Get The Calculator: https://go.stingrayadvisorygroup.com/1v5ud3lh

Episode 115 - A Serious Mistake That Almost Cost Me My Sanity

I've got a story to share that takes me back to a time when I made a serious mistake in my online coaching business – one that almost drove me crazy. Today, I want to spill the beans on what happened and how it nearly cost me the success I was dreaming of. So, grab your favorite beverage and settle in for a real talk. Alright, let's rewind a bit. Back then, my coaching business was all about high ticket offers. Sounds good, right? Well, not exactly. I realized I was missing out on connecting with so many incredible people who couldn't quite reach those high prices. Lesson learned: high ticket ONLY can be a double-edged sword. Picture this: I, too, have been on the other side as a coaching participant. Jumping from one 10k program to another, only to find out that some didn't quite match up to what I was already teaching myself. Cold sweat, anyone? It hit me hard that there had to be a better way to bring value BEFORE people dive into your high ticket Enter the hero of the story – micro offers. These little gems changed the game for me. They became the secret sauce to building trust with potential clients. Think about it – lower barriers, specific problem-solving, and immediate wins. It's like giving them a taste of success right from the start. Now, let me share my Micro Offer Formula. It's not about those gimmicky, valueless trip wires. No, no. These offers are jam-packed with value, delivering on a specific promise. We're not throwing in the kitchen sink, but we're definitely stirring up desire for the next step, whether it's a mid-tier offer or diving straight into the high ticket program. One of our fantastic clients recently woke up to a sale from her brand new micro offer. It's like having a 24/7 trust-building machine working for her. Imagine that – a machine that keeps on giving and ascending clients into her coaching program. Beautiful, isn't it? Alright, lovely souls, here's the deal. I've got something special for you. Head over to my Instagram, and drop me a DM with the word "masterclass." Why? Because I want to invite you to a free masterclass where I spill all the secrets on creating your own converting micro offer in just three days. Trust me; it's a game-changer. Can't wait to see you there!

Episode 114 - What do you believe to be true?

This week's episode is a short yet impactful one, focusing on a powerful experience that recently reminded the host of a valuable lesson from 2017. The central theme revolves around questioning what we believe to be true and examining the stories we tell ourselves. I delve into personal insights provided by their mindset coach, Kashia Rutkowiak, emphasizing the ability to create narratives in our minds that influence decision-making. This self-reflection extends to personal and business aspects, and I would love you to identify and challenge stories you may be telling yourself. The episode draws parallels to common narratives in business, especially those heard during sales calls. I encourage you to analyze your beliefs at different stages of your business, from top-of-funnel cold audiences to client delivery, and question the validity of your narratives. Top of Funnel: Reflect on stories told about attracting cold and warm audiences. Challenge beliefs that may not align with the actual situation. Middle of Funnel: Explore narratives around the latest strategies and tactics for building email lists. Examine the reasons people join your email list and question assumptions. Nurturing and Sales Mechanisms: Analyze beliefs regarding sales mechanisms. Address any preconceived notions from past experiences or external influences. Client Acquisition: Question beliefs about the affordability of your niche. Challenge assumptions that may hinder successful client acquisition. Client Delivery: Reflect on personal insecurities regarding client satisfaction. Acknowledge and challenge imposter syndrome and self-doubt. I encourage you to take time to scrutinize each aspect of your business model and personal life. By questioning beliefs, you may uncover stories you've been telling yourself that may not align with reality. If you found this episode valuable, don't forget to leave a review and share it with others. Sharing insights with fellow experts and coaches can lead to those enlightening "aha" moments.
