I’m willing to bet that right now you’re doing things in your business you don’t need to be doing. I’m also willing to bet that you’re currently not making the money you want to be making. And you know what? Both things go hand in hand. The tasks you’re doing each day will either increase your income, decrease your income, or keep you stuck right where you are. If you want to start making more money in your business, you need to avoid wasting time on tasks that are just NOT important. Here are 3 of those tasks: #1 - Social Media I’m going to say this nice and loud for you to really understand: YOU ARE SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME ON SOCIAL MEDIA. Do you need social media? Yes, I believe you do. However, you absolutely do not need to be and should not be on there for hours every day. Instead, aim for 1-2 hours (depending on how many platforms you’re actively participating in) on social media per day. That’s it. You don’t need to spend any more time than that. #2 - Learning Yes, you read that right. You’re wasting way too much time buying courses, reading articles, opting in to webinars and trainings, and having multiple sessions with coaches. Learning is important, and it SHOULD be a part of your every day, but not to the extent you’re probably doing it right now.

Recently I was having a conversation with a friend (another coach) and she told me she felt like a fraud because she was teaching her clients how to get consistent clients, but she wasn’t able to do so herself.

Yesterday, I read more than 3 posts in my Facebook Group, where women were either complaining about not being able to have a consistent income in their business or asking for advice on how to have consistent clients in their business. Apparently this is an issue for many people. It’s no fun having to chase the clients, the customers, the money. It might seem like fun in the beginning, but eventually it becomes exhausting and you just get frustrated and annoyed that “it isn’t working” for you. Girl, I’ve got your back. Today I’m sharing with you my 3-step plan for consistent clients and customers (which means consistent CASH as well!). I’ve been following this plan for over a year now, and because of that, I’ve haven’t had a problem consistently getting clients & customers. Let’s dive in. Step #1: Know Your Numbers Instead of “hoping” to get a new client this month, or sell 10 spots in your course, get more specific. Specificity drives quicker results. Every month, set yourself a financial goal. How much money do you want to bring in? How many of each of your current offerings do you need to sell, in order to hit that number? Each week, set another number goal: how much money do you want to...
