555: How to 80/20 Your Business for More Profit Dec 22, 2022

Show notes

Do you know exactly what to focus on every day to grow your business?

Not knowing which actions will actually move the needle in your business is one of the biggest challenges facing entrepreneurs today.

After all, there are thousands of strategies and tactics you could try. But which one is the best for YOU?

Too often, I see business owners trying to do all of the things in their business. And that is a recipe not only for burnout, but also for a slow growing business.

In today's episode, I want to re-introduce you to the Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 Rule, which states that 80 percent of your results come from 20 percent of your efforts.

You have probably heard of this principle in relation to productivity and time management. But the 80/20 principle applies across almost anything that has a cause and effect, or inputs and outputs.

554: How to Get Out of Business Overwhelm Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

Are you running your business from a state of overwhelm?

If so, you will struggle to achieve your goals.

How do I know?

Because when you are in a state of overwhelm, you cannot see, plan, or act from a place of clarity.

Overwhelm happens you have too many requirements on your time and energy. You feel like you are drowning in your to-do list. And your capacity is maxed out.

As a CEO, you need a clear mind, so you can think strategically and envision what you want from your business and personal life. But that's not possible when you're operating in a constant state of overwhelm.

Please know you are not alone and don't wait to get out of overwhelm to ask for help. Most of our clients in Six Figures Lab arrived in overwhelm and it is one of my favorite things to help small business owners get out of.

In today's episode, I reveal why business owners at all levels find themselves overwhelmed, how to ask for help, and how to identify what you can release in your business and life to free up your energy.

550: Prioritize Conversations Over Content Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

What if one simple shift in your priorities could decrease your workload and increase your revenue?

The simple shift is prioritizing conversations over content.

This might surprise you because as entrepreneurs, we are told to produce tons of free content in multiple forms for multiple platforms. Frankly, churning out content for your business can be exhausting.

But the real problem is not the amount of time and energy it takes. The real problem is the lost opportunity to have real conversations.

Just one conversation is much more likely to result in referrals, clients, and revenue than publishing one hundred pieces of content.

In today's episode, Elizabeth Cook, who is the accountability coach in $ix Figures Lab, and I will talk about the content-heavy business model, why it may not work for your business, and why posting content should not be your go-to strategy for getting clients.

549: Let it Go Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

Are you holding onto something in your business that is not right for you simply because you already invested significant time, money or energy in it?

Maybe it is a course, coach, software, strategy, client relationship, or an employee. Even though you are not getting the results you want, you are holding on for dear life.

We see this often with the women entrepreneurs in our community. And I even hear some version of it when women debate whether or not to join us for our group coaching program, $ix Figures Lab.

Many women tell me they feel guilty about making a new investment because their last one did not pan out. I understand why they feel this way. After all, no one wants to waste money.

But let me ask you — how much is holding on truly costing you?

In today's episode, Elizabeth Cook, who is the accountability coach in $ix Figures Lab, and I will talk about Sunk-Cost Fallacy, how it can block your progress, and how to know when to let it go.

548: [leadership] Shifting TIME from Clients to Your Team Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

What would change in your business and life if you were not the only one who delivered service to your clients? What would be possible?

Many of our clients in our signature group coaching program, $ix Figures Lab, want to shift some of their client workload to their team. It is a sign of growth that your business is able to attract more clients than you are able to handle on your own.

But it may also be a struggle to trust someone else with your clients.

In today's episode, Elizabeth Cook, our accountability coach at BizChix, and I talk about taking client work off of your plate and adding it to your team's plate.

We walk you through the emotional, practical, and tactical aspects involved in taking a step back from client work in order to step into your bigger vision as a CEO.

Show notes

What if you are confident in your expertise, but you are not sure what to do next in your business? If you are trying all the things and you have hit a growth plateau, this episode is for you.

Many of my clients experience a plateau. They have built a solid client base. Yet, they struggle to advance to the next level. Cathy Heflin is one of those clients who hit a plateau and overcame it with the help of $ix Figures Lab by actually doing less in her business.

Cathy lives in Pasadena, Maryland, and she is a Pinterest Marketing Consultant for e-commerce brands. Most of her clients are monetizing Pinterest and have online shops.

In this episode, Cathy and I talk about what was missing in her business when she joined $ix Figures Lab, what it means to be coachable, and how she doubled her monthly revenue in just 6 months by focusing on revenue-generating activities, reducing some of her offers and optimizing the remaining offers.

546: Do NOT Hire Interns Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

It's a controversial opinion. But for most small business owners, hiring interns is not a good idea. Oftentimes our Six Figures Lab clients arrive in a state of overwhelm. While it might initially seem easy and cost effective, hiring is a big process. And with interns, you'll be training someone who will take longer to do the work than someone with experience - which only compounds the problem and feelings of overwhelm. Today, we see why hiring interns is not your best bet.

545: How to Create a Compelling Vision for Your Business Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

Do you embrace vision casting in your business? Large corporations and organizations use this strategy to smash goals and build their businesses. But, small businesses can also leverage the same processes to create a clear vision for the future of their business so they know where and how to steer the ship.

Vision casting is the process of creating a vivid mental image of where you want your business to be at some point in the future. You need to know the vision to understand what you need to build or let go of in order to achieve it. But, it's also got to be a team effort. You must communicate your vision to your team so that everyone can work together to create a roadmap that guides the business to the final destination.

If you want to learn more about vision casting for your business, join me on this episode of the podcast. We're looking at the big picture concept of knowing your vision and how to share it with your team. Creating a vision for your business involves thinking, processing and dreaming.
