    Ep 166 | How to Use Live Events to Attract & Convert Clients—No Matter What Stage of Business You’re In

    If you’re a coach, expert, or service provider, you’ve probably heard that hosting a live workshop, masterclass, or event is one of the best ways to attract and convert clients. But if you’ve ever hesitated to do it—or you’ve run an event that didn’t lead to sales—you’re not alone. In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I’m breaking down why live, experiential content is one of the most effective strategies for growing your business and how to start thinking about using it the right way. Because here’s the truth: most people approach live events the wrong way, and that’s why they don’t convert. One of the biggest things I see people misunderstand is the difference between launching a one-to-many program (like a course or group offer) and selling 1:1 coaching—and how that affects the way you use live events. There’s a huge difference between what we mean by a live launch vs. hosting a high-converting workshop that leads directly to clients. If you’re unsure about how live events fit into your business model, this episode will help you get clear. I’m sharing what I’ve learned from years of running successful live events—from my early days as a yoga teacher hosting workshops to now growing a thriving coaching business where live experiences are a key part of how I attract and enroll clients. You’ll hear why live events build trust and authority faster than anything else and why they are an essential piece of your business strategy—whether you’re brand new or scaling. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✨ Why live workshops and masterclasses are the fastest way to attract paying clients ✨ The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when hosting events (and why they don’t lead to sales) ✨ The difference between live launching a group program vs. selling 1:1 coaching (and how that affects your strategy) ✨ Why experiential content is more powerful than just teaching information ✨ How live events allow potential clients to experience your coaching style before they invest ✨ The power of personal invitations and why they’re key to filling your events ✨ Why you don’t need a big audience to have a successful workshop or masterclass ✨ How your existing skills and background can shape the way you deliver live events This episode isn’t about giving you a step-by-step event formula—it’s about helping you see why live events work, where people go wrong, and how to start using them effectively in your business. Because if you’re struggling to convert in your business, I can almost guarantee that shifting to a live, experiential model is what’s missing.

    If you’ve ever found yourself caught between wanting more in your business and wondering if you even have the capacity to take on more, this episode is for you. In this special coaching episode, I’m working with Melissa Abouchakra, a health and fitness coach, mom of four, and entrepreneur who’s been navigating the challenges of balancing business growth with family life. Melissa won this coaching session by participating in The Profitable Coaching Business Bootcamp, and we’re diving deep into the mindset shifts and business strategies she needs to create a sustainable, profitable, and aligned business. Like so many coaches and service-based business owners, Melissa struggles with clarity, consistency, and confidence in her messaging and client attraction strategy. She’s also exploring the world of monetizing social media (especially TikTok), building a scalable business model, and how to focus on the right strategies instead of falling into the comparison trap. Together, we uncover the real mindset blocks and practical shifts needed to build a business that works for her—without the overwhelm. In This Coaching Session, We Cover: ✨ The tension between wanting more clients and fearing the time commitment of a growing business ✨ How to stop second-guessing your messaging and attract the right clients (not just any clients) ✨ The power of reverse engineering your goals to create a business model that truly works for you ✨ Why “shiny object syndrome” (constantly chasing new strategies) keeps you stuck—and what to do instead ✨ The truth about monetizing social media and whether it should be your primary strategy ✨ How to stay visible and market your business without feeling like you have to be “on” 24/7 ✨ The role of emotional intelligence and self-trust in building long-term success ✨ Why outsourcing and delegation are essential for sustainable business growth ✨ How to create effective lead magnets and messaging that overcomes objections Melissa, like so many coaches, has been caught in the cycle of questioning what’s working, comparing herself to others, and feeling like she’s constantly in marketing mode. But what if the secret isn’t doing more—but doing the right things in a way that actually works for you? This episode is packed with insights, clarity, and practical coaching strategies that can help you stop spinning your wheels and start building a business that fits your life—without the burnout. What You’ll Walk Away With: ✔ A fresh perspective on how to balance business growth with personal priorities ✔ A roadmap for simplifying your client attraction strategy without overcomplicating your marketing ✔ The confidence to own your message, refine your offer, and create demand for your services ✔ Clarity on how delegation and releasing non-serving commitments can free you to focus on what actually moves your business forward ✔ A reminder that you don’t have to do everything alone—support and strategy make all the difference Mark Your Calendar! 🌟 Don’t miss Passionate & Prosperous Live on October 17-18 in NYC—two transformative days dedicated to creating the business and life you’ve always dreamed of.

    Ep 164 | Identity Marketing: How to Market with Integrity and Impact with Veronica Romney

    Marketing isn’t just about getting people to buy—it’s about inviting them to become. In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I’m joined by the incredible Veronica Romney, marketing expert, keynote speaker, and author of the newly released book, Identity Marketing. We’re diving into a conversation that will shift the way you think about marketing, messaging, and attracting the right clients for your transformational business. So many coaches, service providers, and business owners feel disconnected from traditional marketing strategies—the scarcity-driven urgency, the pressure to “pitch slap” people into buying. If that doesn’t resonate with you, this episode is for you. Veronica shares a new way forward—one that’s not about pushing offers, but about creating identity-based messaging that invites people into transformation. Traditional marketing methods often rely on urgency, scarcity, and pressure tactics that can feel off for transformational business owners. But what if marketing wasn’t about convincing people to buy, but instead about showing them who they can become? Veronica breaks down the psychology behind Identity Marketing—a powerful approach that focuses on crafting messaging that resonates deeply with your audience by reflecting their desires, values, and aspirations. In This Episode, We Cover:✨ The core concept of Identity Marketing and how it changes the way you attract clients ✨ Why people don’t just buy products or services—they buy who they want to become ✨ The psychology of identity and how to use it to create trust, resonance, and loyalty in your audience ✨ How your personal identity and story play a role in drawing in the right clients ✨ Why traditional marketing tactics often don’t work for transformational businesses ✨ The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when trying to attract ideal clients ✨ How to shift your messaging so that it speaks to who your audience is becoming, rather than what they’re lacking Marketing should feel empowering, not manipulative. Instead of focusing on “pain points” and fear-based selling, Identity Marketing helps you create an emotional connection that builds trust and long-term relationships with your audience. Your ideal clients are looking for someone who reflects who they aspire to be—and understanding how to speak to that can completely shift the way you approach visibility, messaging, and offers. If you’ve ever felt like you should be marketing a certain way, but it doesn’t sit right with you, this episode will help you rethink everything. Marketing isn’t about gimmicks—it’s about creating real, lasting relationships with the people you are meant to serve. Veronica’s insights on Identity Marketing will change how you approach everything from social media to sales calls, helping you create a values-driven business that attracts the right clients with ease. Whether you’re growing your personal brand, refining your messaging, or simply looking for a way to make marketing feel good, this conversation will inspire you to approach things differently.

In this week’s episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I’m inviting you to take a deeper look at your relationship with connection and communication.
