I bet reaching more people and creating a meaningful impact is one of your aspirational goals. 

And as an online business owners, you’re trying to blend marketing strategies designed to reach the masses with a more personable, relationship focused approach.

So the question is: how can you truly connect with people through relationships AND grow at the speed you want? And if people don’t know who you are or what services you offer, how can you expect them to pay attention and to trust you? 

In this week’s episode, we’re looking in the rearview mirror to help you reflect on your visibility efforts and determine a strategy you can implement next year—one that is aligned, more intentional and will create a bigger impact in your business. Whether you've been doing visibility for a while but you haven't gotten much traction or you put it on the backburner, this episode is a must listen.

In this episode, we dig into…

• Building relationships...

It’s no secret that you wear a lot of hats running a business, and if you’re anything like most online business owners, the majority of your time is spent on content creation, admin and other behind the scenes work.

But how can you expect to make money in your business if you spend the majority of your time on things that aren’t directly tied to sales or designed to make sales down the road (and the road keeps getting longer)?

In today’s episode, I’ll share with you my ridiculously simple strategy that’s going to help you generate more sales. So if you are not quite on track with where you want to be this year or are looking for a cash boost, this episode will be the fire to get you moving.

Episode Highlights:

• The four traps that keep business owners stuck with sales
• My go-to strategy to generate sales
• The tough love, real talk advice you didn’t realize you needed to end the year
• Plus tips you can do to time audit yourself + your goals and...

As business owners, we are the best advocates and ambassadors for our brands and the more that we can get ourselves out there with the right message in the right places, this is where that ripple effect of opportunity starts happening. Not only do we attract our ideal clients, but we create really quality relationships. 

Today’s episode is a BONUS episode replay from an Instagram Live I did, bringing a couple of our clients from The Speaker Co to share their journeys of how leveraging their message and their voices in the last year has made a bigger impact with their business.

Remember, there are people who are waiting that you know you can help but until you take the bold move, you pick up the microphone, you turn on the camera or you pitch that opportunity–how are they ever going to hear your message?  So this is your reminder to be a little more brave, be a little bit more bold and start making progress. Sure, you might be a little crappy to start but you...

Speaking can feel intimidating and terrifying. But if you have big dreams and want to truly make an impact in the world, you can’t do so by staying silent. You have to leverage your voice.

Today’s episode is a special one—I’m passing the microphone to real business owners just like you. I thought it might be helpful to hear how other entrepreneurs take courageous action, get results and believe everything is possible if you just start taking that first step to step up and help your ideal clients.

These amazing business owners are graduates of my original program. They are real women who want to get their message out in a bigger way with real stories to share and meaningful wins to celebrate that will surely touch your heart.

I hope the stories that you hear today unravel something in you to push you to be a little more brave for you to try new things, for you to raise your hand for a speaking opportunity, for you to be a little bit more louder with your voice...

5 Visibility Boosting Tips

(Pulled from show transcript — please excuse any typos )

1. Make sure you have your PR speaking kit ready on one spot.

What is actually a PR...

If you’ve felt the pull to share your story in a bigger way from stages, the question is when is the right time to get serious about it?

If you’re like most business owners, you have a list, a mile long filled with competing priorities– many of which are on the “do it now” list, so “speaking on stages” just doesn’t feel urgent.

But what if I told you that speaking on stages is something that can happen much sooner than you think? And what if I told you that the #1 regret my private clients have is not preparing for big stage moments sooner? What if I told you that by taking steps now to speak on stages, you would actually improve other areas of your business?

This is what we’re going to explore in today’s episode. I’ll share when to start getting serious with pursuing stages.Spoiler – the sooner you START, the sooner you'll get good at it. 

And when you have the skills to command a stage, it makes micro...

In today's episode, I'm welcoming back to the show one my dear friends, Krystal Proffitt for a revealing discussion on how she has leveraged the skill of speaking to grow her brand and land every single stage on her dream list for 2021. 

In previous episodes, we’ve talked about the fear of public speaking, but what about the business owners who love speaking and have never been one to shy away from an audience?

Enter Krystal. She’s sharing how her natural strengths in communication were actually holding her back in a way that she didn't expect, plus what she specifically worked on to reach her goals.

This interview kicks off a new segment on the show where I feature other entrepreneurs leveraging their voice to make an impact.
