I’m a perfectionism and authenticity coach for chronic overdoers, overthinkers and stressed-out control freaks. I help them turn their inner critic into an ally and find powerful and sustainable ways to get on with what they care about without overwhelm and burnout.

Left over course credits, which course should I sign up for?

Can anyone help me with what course to take with my last 2 credits? 
I thought it was going to be FB/IG ads but I see that I do not need to use my credits for that. 
create your own framework? 
or 
simple course creation? 
or 
offer revision?

I am just releasing (today in fact) my 1st group offer. Am currently in the middle of the Launch your 20 person group program - so not finished yet. 
I dream of one day putting together a course on welness and healing yourself.  But this is a ways off. 

I am lean…

@George Kao are you running anything else before the end of the year, before I "spend" all my credits?!

Hi @Donna Becker !

I'm in the same boat, looking to use up my final credits. 

Since the courses you buy with credits don't expire (meaning you'll still have access to them later), I would get whichever courses resonate for now or in your upcoming future. Meaning you don't have to be ready to take it right now, to choose to enroll right now.

I've got a couple courses I'm looking at for my last credits, that I'm certain I won't start for another few months - but I know the topics will be on point for me once I get there.

VA

@Sonja Amundson @Donna Becker I'm in a similar place - I don't think I've even used half my credits yet this year so I'll be buying anything that looks like it might be useful in the future until I use them all up!

FTA Webinars

I have a question about FTA workshops. I've only ever offered them to folks that I know (former & current clients, colleagues, friends) and I'd like to expand my reach. So, the hyper-vigilant part of me is worried about announcing this to the "world". My workshops are experiential and interactive, and so are there any tips for curating an event where I can somehow be assured that I have like-minded individuals in attendance that will play well with each other :)



VA

I love this inquiry @Amie Garcia  as someone else who offers experiences. I've been trusting my unique energy signature to attract "my kind of people". I'm also clear on the sales page that there will be breakout rooms, interactive exercises etc. I haven't had an issue yet.

And as a free offering, I'm not too concerned about offering the perfect experience. I set a lot of context to keep the space respectful and safe but I don't do anything particularly edgy or challenging in my free sessions.

Sounds like you're leaning that way too.

Facebook threats

I'd like to review some recent "FB" threats about our account. They seem fake but it's hard to tell. A post on FB was taken down but the same post on IG was left up. The post has nothing in common with the threatening email.

I get Direct Messages to FB/IG almost every day saying that I've violated some terms of service and that my page is going to be shut down. I mark them as spam but they keep coming. However, I've never had a post be taken down (on either platform).

Another thing that's become a daily occurrence is a bot trying to hack into my FB account itself. I get "password recovery" emails, in triplicate. Those I take the time to mark "it wasn't me" so that hopefully, one day, if they actually get control of my account - Facebook might see that I've been actively battling the bots on the regular. I have no idea if that would make a difference.

VA

@Mike Wang @Eric Klein likewise. Since I started running ads again, I get so much junk mail in my FB account and my email. They're clearly spam/bots, although the first one freaked me out! Like Mike, I haven't had a post taken down and I just mark them as spam and ignore

FB/IG Ads to Warm Audience

We've been organically putting up a weekly post on FB/IG announcing our weekly Sunday meditation. I was wondering if it makes more sense to run a low cost ad to our Warm Audience. When running such an ad to the Warm audience, does that mean it's shown to the whole audience, the usual suspects, some other randomized selection of Warm? 

I realize this is a general question related to posting stage 2 content to Warm audience. Is the "reach" into the Warm dependent on the amount of money behind the ad? If so, what's your thinking on how much to spend?



VA

Have you checked out the FB/IG Ads course, @Eric Klein ? George goes into all this in a really easy to understand way, including a suggested budget.

Connecting to Centre - Core Yoga Workshop - Feedback please

Hi all,

I have been working on a sales page for an upcoming workshop and would love some feedback for anyone who is interested in taking a look. It's in a Google doc for now, so feel free to leave your comments.

Link to document: Connecting to Centre

Please provide feedback on:

  • Clarity - Does it make sense? Is it clear what the workshop is about?
  • If you are my ideal client, what else would you like to know before signing up?
  • Anything else I can improve on? Do I need to add or delete anything?

Tagging a few people who might be able to share some insights:

@Vix Anderton  @Elana Christiansen  @Colleen Adrian  @Jessica Jennings, MS  

Thanks 🙏🏻

I'm touched you'd like my feedback! I've added a couple of comments into the document.

19 We're not selling results 3:14
"If we're not selling change/transformation, what exactly do clients pay for?"

Earlier in this course I talked about how it's not a good idea to promise results -- because you cannot do the work for them; you don't live their life. But if that's the case, what are they really paying for? They pay for: the program structure we've thoughtfully created our knowledge/experience our care/energy (the opportunity to receive it in our group that is not available outside of it) the vetted community we bring together the community we facilitate (a safe place to seek support and to celebrate progress) Our sales page does speak of the aspiration toward a vision, but it's not realistic to promise specific results.

I do think it depends on what you are offering, and the nature of the field. For example, I am learning handpan drumming and percussion in general, and all of the courses that I have purchased focus on "the yearning" to be a better drummer and musician, you might say, the dream. However, that probably wouldn't work for many of the more challenging, less-fun aspects of life.  (So perhaps it is better to do as Buddha did and focused on offering a resolution to the pain-points for those.)

VA

@Cynthia Killion that makes sense - what the vision/aspiration you offer might change depending on the nature of the work. And I think I'm with George in terms of not promising results because so much of that is out of my hands!
