Now open -- sign up sheet for 1-1 strategy coaching with me on our group calls :)

I'd love to personally check-in with you re: your business strategy, and it can be done with no additional cost by doing this on our group calls. 

The calls are usually quite small -- averaging only 6 participants each call for the past 3 months. 

So think of it as an opportunity to share honestly about your business status at this point, and then we'll dive into crafting a strategy that is uniquely yours, playing to your strengths and passions while acknowledging your growth edges. 

You'll …

Thanks 

@George Kao does this mean more than one person can book on a date if each session is only 20-30 mins?  The spreadsheet doesn't seem setup for that?  
EM

@George Kao thanks, that makes sense.  I've booked for next week!

Helping my Friend with Market Research

Hi all!

A great friend of mine is doing some marketing research and wants help seeing if you might fit in her niche so that she can have a quick conversation to see better ways to support her audience. 
Her work is amazing, and I would love if anyone here can give this extra support 😀

Just reply with "me" here and I will be in touch with you to make that introduction ⭐

Her words:

"I am looking to connect with service-based solopreneurs, who are astrologically aware (meaning, they use it to some e…

@Jonathan Brum thank you!  I also appreciated having her website and really like the layout.  Sparking some ideas for me to revamp mine!

Looking for 5 people to experience the demo of an Ai-for-Coaches tool -- who's in? :)

The co-teachers of my Ai Course have created an awesome app to help coaches & therapists serve clients better with Ai analysis and tools.

I've seen how it works, and am really looking forward to using it.

They're offering a limited number of personalized demo sessions.  We're looking for 5 people from my group (you all!) to experience this and offer your honest feedback.

Who's interested in checking it out?  It's only a 30-minute appointment, and your feedback will be essential to helping this app become a really helpful tool for coaches.  Book an appointment here, and comment below to let me know that you did 🙏🏼



EM

I've also signed up - curious to learn more!

Are you using the Course Tracker? (To keep track of your study progress)

Is anyone using the Course Tracker? Finding it useful?

Have you made any modifications to your copy?

I might want to update the template... open to your ideas :)



EM

I had forgotten about this and haven't been using it.  It looks very useful and I'm encouraged by 

@Aurora Meneghello comment above.  I'm going to plug my courses into it and see what it reveals in terms of roadblocks and lack of progress!  Nothing to suggest or report back about it at the moment.

Focusmate -- free month of paid service

Those of you who are interested in Focusmate, can you help me test something... 

I need 3 people... 

1. Someone who has never signed up for Focusmate before.

2. Someone who has a Focusmate FREE account.

3. Someone who is already subscribed to Focusmate's paid account.

Click this link.

Does it give you a free month of paid Focusmate?

Comment below and let me know which type of person you are ;-) and whether the link successfully gave you a free month.

Thank you!



EM

I'm 2 - when I clicked the link I only see the screenshot below - no mention of a free month?  I do see in the URL that it has a referral code, which suggests that it will track whatever someone does when they take action on the page. 

📩 First Email Invite to my webinar sent! Early stats.

Statistics in numbers for email sent!

In case you're more of a % person, 83.45% successful delivery; 26% opened rate; 9.5% hard bounced; 1.7% unsubscribed and 0% spam!

I'm happy about this ☺️ after 8 hours since sent. 

I committed to doing this webinar a week ago on a call with George. I chose the dates. Worked on collecting my CSV files from Acuity Scheduling, MailChimp and old CRM. I surprised myself with having over 400 contacts since 2015! I've entered them…

Very cool, Emily!  Keep up the good work!  Looks like you are learning a lot from that simple of sending an email.  That alone is inspiring!

EM

@Grace Carter thank you so much for commenting and encouragement.  I appreciate you and this community for the support to keep going.  I'll share more as I grow through this learning experience.
JK

Nicely done, 

@Emily Miller !

How are you feeling about your progress now a day on?

Which system are you using for this, and have you found it supportive of your own creative directions?

EM

@Jeffrey Keefer thanks for the questions.  I am glad I took action and I am committing to sending the second email today.  I am using a system that is built on Go High Level - white labelled by another company that helps with promoting business using vacation incentives.  It's easy enough to use given my experience with other technology systems.  I also paid for help in getting the website started for delivering the digital goods two years ago.  So it's nice to be putting it to the test now.  I've seen other successful entrepreneurs use it and rave about the platform.  I'm hopeful I'll love it too as the business grows.

Amazing, Emily! Congratulations on all your momentum! It's always so cool to see that we may be further along than we realize, just as you discovered how many contacts you have when you compiled them all. Overall, love all the learning and movement you're modeling, great job. It's inspiring!

EM

@Jackie Johansen thank you so much for commenting - I was inspired by your momentum too.  Yes, that was encouraging to see how many contacts I had.  I'm glad they are now in one place. I was feeling a bit crap this morning and so catching up here is helping me to not give up.

George Kao Ⓜ️ 💗 🔤

Love the action taking! Thank you for sharing these early results. Given that this is the first time they're hearing from you after a long time, conversion rate should be low but as you continue to email them and invite them (especially sharing the good experience of previous webinars) more will sign up 😊

EM

@George Kao thank you for the encouragement.  I am getting ready to email again today with a personal story.  I went live on Facebook yesterday afternoon and had several people give an emoji!  I'll check on their profiles and follow up with a personal message if there's a genuine connection.

ABC member spreadsheet -- how might it become more useful to you?

Hi All,

The ABC Member Spreadsheet/Directory can be a rich resource for our community.

Have you made use of it?  If so, how?

And how might we change it to be even more useful to you?

For example, would it be helpful to have columns for each Course and members can fill out whether they've taken the course (or are taking it) so you can more easily connect with others working on the same topic?

Open to any ideas you have.

Thank you!

George

I filled it out then forgot about it! It's hard for this ADHD soul to keep all of the plates spinning. I did go look at it again to review who all is here! 

EM

@Christine Weddle I had a similar experience.  It looks like I last updated it after my March accountability call with @Angela Ferri! Looking at it again today was helpful to see how I started out the year when I filled everything about my biz out.  I had forgotten about using this spreadsheet as a directory.  

I think it would be helpful to know who is taking what courses - I think it might get a bit long though if there's a column for each course you have George!  Maybe start a new tab called Courses?

 Borrowing from today's Q&A Call check in...

Sleep: reinstate an evening routine - I like the alarm idea and writing down my wins for the day/wins for next day - intention to have 31 days of wins.

Breaks: test out using a timer for 25 - 45 mins when working on projects.  Get up and move around after 90 mins! Do something different.

Income-generating activities: updating my CRM with 200 approx. contacts from 2015-2022 biz activities.  Email them twice about two webinar dates set for May 14th and 15th.  Send reminders to interested people.  Prepare webinar. Run webinar. Offer Group Coaching and option for 1:1 Coaching.  Test out the free to attend, pay for recording webinar. 

Content creation: About upcoming webinar do a video and related topics to the webinar. 

Netcaring: Pick my favorite 20 people from CRM to reach out and make a list of everyone else to check on their social media presence / activity. 

@Angela Ferri is my accountability buddy and we meet half way through the month.

I will copy this into my Ziglar Performance Planner for reminding me to focus on these intentions

Thanks George for your help with what to include in my email about the webinar.  I found that helpful.  I will investigate why my external microphone wasn't working on Zoom for future Q&A sessions.

Automating adding email addresses from Acuity to Email Provider

Hi everyone,

Following up on the Q&A call today, using Zapier, I was able to easily automate adding the email of those making appointments in Acuity to Flodesk. This took me less than 10 minutes to set up. 

To then add past folks to Flodesk, I went into Acuity and exported the CSV file of past clients and curated the list a bit / removed unnecessary columns. The only thing that got glitchy was Flodesk wasn't recognizing the CSV from Acuity, so I just copied the columns into Google Sheets an…

Congratulations

@Jackie Johnstone and thanks for sharing your big win 🏆 that's awesome.

Congrats! It's amazing how much time one can save automating manual, repetitive tasks. Also really liked the idea of reaching out to people on your list on their birthdays/birth months that you and George talked about on the call this morning.

EM

@Mike Wang I also liked the birthday month reach out idea!
