The Multi Six Figure Pivot

These are two major myths that are often talked about in the entrepreneurial world:Marketing = social mediaYou have to be on social media to get clients. Listen… I’m a huge proponent of social media.

And while I’m usually giving you tips on how to connect with people on social media - today I want to introduce you to a whole other world of possibilities… growing a business without using it.

Last fall, I had a coaching conversation with my client, Brittany. She had been trying to consistently sign coaching clients for a couple years, but it just wasn’t working. She had an offer, a website, decent social media engagement… and yet it just wasn’t turning into paying clients. Almost immediately on our conversation, I realized the issue. I told her what I saw, and what to do differently. She implemented this advice and started signing lots of clients right away. She’s been consistently signing clients ever since. What I found interesting is that she mentioned to me that she had thought about working with me a couple years before but didn’t - and wished she didn’t wait. On today’s episode, I have Brittany on to talk about our conversation, the advice I gave her, and the decision to invest in coaching with me. This episode is a fun look into what it’s actually like to be my client. This podcast episode will be super inspiring for any business owner. YOU’LL LEARN:How to transition from a brick-and-mortar business to the online spaceWhy people struggle with finding the right offer and marketing services and how to fix thisHow to be successful in signing clients and managing a growing businessThe importance of belief and confidence in your businessLearn About Brittany:Brittany Hagemann is a licensed CA Esthetician turned Esthetician Business Coach.

How would you approach your business if it was your job? What would be different?Every single business owner needs to ask themselves these two questions - because when we are making our own schedules and deciding our own workloads it’s really easy to NOT take things as seriously as we would if it was a job. It’s tempting to want to wait until the business is bigger or feels more serious to take it more seriously - but this is actually backwards. We have to take our business seriously before it feels serious. On today’s episode of the Simple Online Business podcast, I’m exploring the concept of "job mentality" in the context of online business success. I’m comparing different work mentalities—hustle, anti-hustle, and flow—and their impact on you as a successful business owner.YOU’LL LEARN:How to embrace a job mentality in your business to create significant growth and successWhy it’s important to transition from a hobby mentality to job mentality when building a businessWhy many people struggle with balancing the hustle mindset and other responsibilitiesLet’s Connect!
