Here’s the thing you need to realize about your community – They want YOU. All of you. They don’t want your fancy programThey don’t your blueprints and checklistsThey don’t want your slides and videos and content They simply want you. The reason someone follows you is because they either – A) Want to be like youB) Agree with your messageORC) Want what you have Regardless of WHY they follow you, there is one thing they’re definitely looking for, and that’s a peek into your life. They want to know what you do, how you do it, and most importantly, WHY it’s important to you. And the big reason you’re unable to grow your community and make a bigger impact right now, is because you haven’t made the move to be more visible to your people. I’m not talking about posting on Facebook 3x per day or emailing your list every week. This isn’t about the WHAT, it’s about the HOW. How are you showing up for your community?How are you being yourself and selling YOU?How are you putting YOU in front of your audience every day? Don’t overthink this. It’s easy. Pinky promise. If you want people to pay attention to you, give them YOU, every day. Here are a few ways you can do that – Share a picture (or video) of you in your element (eg. if you’re a food coach, share a picture of you shopping for groceries + if you’re an assistant, share a picture of you working on your laptop) Share a picture (or video) of something you’ve done, as it relates to your business (eg. if...

Get this: I’ve had 4 people in the last hour (the last HOUR!) either email me or message me to ask how I make money from my Facebook group. What my best offers areHow often I sellHow I keep people interested and engaged Listen, making money online is easy. It’s even easier now because we have Facebook groups to play in, and Facebook groups are currently one of the BEST ways to increase your income. Do you need to have a group with thousands of members to make a lot of money? No, but as I’m sure you know, the more people that follow you, the more money you make. It’s just math! But growing your group can be a challenge, I get that. It’s hard for some people. It takes too long for others. You don’t have the time. These are all just EXCUSES. Stop allowing your excuses to take over. If you want more people in your group you need to put in the work, just like anything else. But here’s the big question – What kind of work do you need to do in order to grow your Facebook group? This: PromotePromotePromotePromoteAnd then promote some more NOT. ROCKET SCIENCE. There are a ton of different ways you can promote your group, but only a few of them are worth your time, and that’s what you need to focus on when it comes to growth - proper PROMOTION. It doesn’t matter what the name of your group is.It doesn’t matter what you say in your description.It doesn’t matter what your header image looks like. What matters is that...

If someone were to ask me what helped me the most when it came to making more money and getting more visibility in my business, I would hands down say THIS – Cultivating a success mindset. Sure, lots of other things helped – MentorsStrategyKnowledgeConnectionsCommunity It all helped. Everything. But nothing – And I mean NOTHING – Helped me more than cultivating a SUCCESS mindset. Learning how, and then DOING. Implementing. Consistently, every day. If where you are right now is not where you want to be, then start paying attention to your thoughts. What do you think about while you’re working? What do you think about first thing in the morning and right before you go to bed? What do you think about when the world is silent and you aren’t doing anything but sitting in solitude? What’s on your MIND? I’m willing to bet that one thing is worry. You’re worried you won’t make your mortgage payment again this month, or that you’ll have to pay for expenses on another credit card, or you’ll have to ask your parents for a loan AGAIN, or you won’t be able to make the investments in your business you know you need to make. Worry will hold you back.Worry will keep you stuck.Worry will never allow you to move forward and be successful. I’m not saying you should never worry about anything. We’re human and we DO have these emotions. But the quicker you move OUT of that worry and focus on something more helpful, the better your life and your business will be. Every day I focus on cultivating a success...

Let’s get right to it, shall we? No messing around. 15 WAYS TO MASSIVELY GROW YOUR INCOME Here we go… 1. Work more, work harder.It’s simple. If you want to make more money, you need to work harder, and work way more. Want more cash in the bank? Put in the work. 2. Sell more (a lot more).Don’t be afraid to sell your services every single day, multiple times a day. As long as you are giving vaule/free content AND selling, people will buy. 3. Raise your prices.Stop working for pennies and raise your prices to a place where they actually feel good to you. If you’re not happy and confident with your prices, you’ll have a hard time making sales and getting clients. 4. Work on your mindset, clear money blocks.Don’t allow a negative mindset stop you from increasing your impact and the income you make. Make it a daily habit to work on improving your mindset and clearing any type of money blocks you may have. (And if mindset stuff is confusing to you, find a mentor that can help you with it.) 5. Follow up with potential clients.This should be on your “to-do” list every single day of the week, no excuses. People aren’t going to remember to buy from you all the time, you need to remind them. So follow up with people who have shown an interest in working with you in some way. 6. Create new offers regularly.Stop it with the long, drawn-out launch plans! Not only is it completely unnecessary, but it’s stopping you from making more money, simply because you’re so...

Have you ever watched someone from afar and been jealous about how well they seem to be doing? Have you stalked them on social media, making yourself ill, by comparing them to you and you to them? Have you questioned everything you’re doing or have done, because this other person isn’t doing it, so maybe you’re wrong? I used to look at anyone and everyone who seemed to be “ahead” of me, and I would try to mimic (not copy) what they were doing, I would try similar speech patterns, I would use the same sales strategies, I would even create similar offers, all because I thought that if they were having success doing it, that I needed to do it, too. But this rarely ever worked. Because I was comparing my beginning to their middle. Of course they were doing better than me, they had been at it longer! They had more practice, they had failed more, they had tried more. I knew that my jealousy wasn’t helping me, but instead, making things worse. I wasn’t able to grow my business as quickly as I wanted to because I was, honestly, trying to be a bunch of other people melded into one. I wasn’t being myself. We all get jealous. It’s a normal human emotion. But what you do with this jealousy is what you want to pay attention to. I always say that jealousy is actually a GOOD thing, because it gives you confirmation that something is meant for you. Jealous of someones new home? You’re meant for something similar. Jealous of the $100K months so-and-so is...
