#618: Pivoting with Purpose: The Art of Adjusting Your Business Goals Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

Move your goals without sacrificing your revenue or breaking promises.

As a business owner, I always set goals for each year and quarter depending on the project or offering we have going on. But the truth is – goals don't always pan out as we hope. Life throws curveballs, and suddenly, that ambitious plan feels like a stretch. Not to fear! This is where the concept of "Move the Goal" comes in handy.

When it's clear you aren't going to meet a goal, you need to sit down, reevaluate, and decide how to pivot. And let me tell you, moving a goal does NOT feel good! As someone who values commitment, changing a plan can feel like a broken promise.

But, dear friend – please don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re in this position. It’s perfectly okay to do if you're smart about it. In this episode, I share all of my tips for effectively moving your goals so you can avoid losing significant revenue.

It's not always an easy process, but with the right approach, you can do it in a way that won't let yourself or your team down. I cover what to expect when you move your goals, things you need to know before changing them, and how to adapt so it’s not a setback.

You'll hear about:

3:41: The reasons you might want to move a goal
6:12: Why I hate changing plans and would much rather reach the goals I set
8:30: Everything you need to know before changing your goal
12:18: Questions you should ask yourself to make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons
14:12: Finding that balance between sticking with the plan and being flexible

Sometimes, you set safe goals to avoid feeling disappointed. But you know what they say – growth only happens when you step out of your comfort zone, and your goals should always motivate you to be the best version of yourself. Tune in because I promise this advice will save you lots of sleepless nights!

Show notes

Supercharge your teaching game with the magic of visual frameworks with Rory Vaden

If you have a digital course and are an expert in what you teach (but struggle with actually teaching it), then one of the biggest pieces of advice I can give you is to take your content and put it into a framework.

What’s a framework, you ask? Think of a framework like a roadmap or a well-constructed skeleton for your thoughts. It allows you to break down intricate concepts into manageable, comprehensible pieces for your audience.

If you’ve been listening for a while, you’ve probably even heard me say something like “I have a framework for that”! because I’ve found that using them has made me a much more effective teacher.

Most importantly, teaching in frameworks has helped my students understand and apply my content better.

Like anything, there’s an art and science to creating frameworks. Enter: My guest for this episode, Rory Vaden.

Rory is an expert when it comes to helping entrepreneurs find their uniqueness, create captivating content, and a world-class presentation craft -- and in this episode, he shares the A to Z playbook on creating content frameworks.

You’ll learn:

Why teaching in frameworks is so crucial to being an effective educator
An A to Z process on how to create effective content frameworks
7 questions you can ask yourself to help you generate ideas for frameworks
How to become “unstuck” on framework ideas and them quickly

He’s even going to break down one of his own teaching frameworks that you can use as a reference.
