Building Irresistible Offers and Why They Don’t Buy

This episode is truly all about you– how you get feedback from the people you ultimately want to sell to, and how to move forward. Many of my takeaways are coming off the back of a really big launch in my business. I did an event in May that allowed me to connect with over 7,000 small business owners, serve them high value, and go through a launch process on the back end.

Today, I want to focus on the lessons I learned while working for other people, and how that’s helping me to be a better leader now. When I say leader, I don’t just mean running a staff, I mean thought leader, someone who’s in charge of fostering community, and someone who is trying to put her ideas out into the world and have them be valuable to other people - tangible, actionable things that people can hold onto.

Leverage Where You're At To Get to Where You Want to Go

Today on the podcast we’re chatting about your journey ahead—whether you've got a clear vision or you're still figuring it out. I get it, some of you might be like, "Where am I even headed?" And you know what? That's totally cool! It's super easy to breeze past the gold mine of your past experiences, but guess what? They've shaped you into the awesome person you are, and they're like breadcrumbs leading you to your destination. So, if you're not sure about the destination, no worries! It's not about having all the answers; it's about springboarding off from here. Even those random jobs you had? They're like building blocks for the business you're rocking today!

Not Everyone Has An Internal Monologue (Including My Husband)

Inevitably, you’re going to encounter people who simply don’t think the same way you do. Personally, it took me a long time to understand this. I always assumed that everyone problem-solved the same way, thought the same way, and came up with ideas in the same way. Like me, you might be surprised to learn that not everyone experiences inner dialogue in the same way or even at all! In fact, it’s estimated that 30 to 50% of people don’t have an “inner voice.”
