Lindsey welcomes Dr. Denise Dennis to talk about the psychology behind managing productivity with an eye on revenue. Dr. Denise is a marketing automation specialist and the founder of Action Accelerated.    Are you constantly restarting marketing plans in your business instead of just sticking with it and tweaking your plan? Are you spending a lot of time on TikTok but not actually selling?  Are you delegating tasks that could just be automated or eliminated? Do your marketing tasks have too many steps?   Dr. Denise primarily works with coaches, gaining an understanding of what they are going through in managing themselves, managing their team and interacting with their clients.    She always wants to discover what is the thing that you’re passionate about. For example, for coaches, this is usually coaching. Let’s get clear on what you’re good at and what you want to continue doing so we can automate the rest.    Automate. Delegate. Delete.    Learn more about Dr. Denise Dennis and take : Scalability Assessment

Today I want to share a client spotlight so you can get an idea of how my One-on-One Powerhouse Program transforms businesses!   When this client started working with me she had no clarity in her marketing. She was trying everything without actually doing anything. She was working really hard, but no one could understand her offer. Let me tell you, we turned everything around for her.   When you are marketing, writing your posts and creating your videos. Make sure to answer the questions? Who? What? Where? and Why? in your marketing. What you can do that no one else does? My magical messaging process helps you adjust your social presence and shift everything into place.     Thank you for listening! If you have any takeaways, make sure to let us know!

When you’re about to hire a coach, mentor or vendor, vet them to find out if they actually achieve the results to claim they can achieve. Know who you are working with and what they’re like. This goes beyond reading their website.   I see a lot of messaging online that just doesn’t “pass the sniff test”. Check to see how it feels in your gut. If it doesn’t feel peaceful, it’s ok to move on.    Curate your feeds; be very careful who you’re listening to. You want to make sure that you’re not being exposed to negative or inaccurate ideas. Thanks for tuning in! I want us to be well-equipped as we head into 4th quarter, putting ourselves in the position to be listening to voices that are in alignment with what feels right.   If you have any takeaways, make sure to let us know!

We tend to overcomplicate business, but it’s just basic math.    Money out.  Leads.  Conversions.  Sale price.  Money in.    Here are some questions to ask yourself about your business: How long does it take someone coming into my world, to buy from me?  How many people who come into your world stay in your world?   When you’re looking into investing in your business you’ve got to break down your potential return on investment. Most programs make it difficult to make an ROI because you’re just learning information. That’s why we love Automation Algorithms because you’re actually building out your business in the program.    Other people say that they can help you make more money and work less, but that drives me crazy because those people are working like crazy. I know they are! And guys, I just have to tell you how little I work. I just love being outside too much. I work a couple days a week.   People can and will wait for you. You can set your calendar and they will work around your schedule. Thanks for tuning in. If you have any takeaways, make sure to let us know!

Boots on the ground, what are people struggling with when it comes to operations in their business? Answer: Cohesion. Founder of Agape professionals, Christina Vanacore is a tough New Yorker who knows how to streamline business operations so that they are smooth like butter.

You can work with her for a VIP day and walk away with a complete 90-day plan with built-out tasks, due dates, assignees, and a plan to hire! As we round the bases from 2nd quarter into 3rd quarter this is a great time to shape up your business workflow, but honestly, the best time to streamline your business is whenever you’re ready.

We hold onto things in our business because they’ve gotten us this fair, but if they’re not still feeling right, let them go. It can be time to pivot anytime you want. What feels right? I want to tell you about an exercise I do with entrepreneurs to help break out of the boxes we make for ourselves. I call it a Vision Intensive. I’m hosting hosting power house mastermind for 2022 to help you dramatically and radically dedicate yourself to your business. Trying harder on the same stuff will just lead to burn out more quickly.
