If you're anything like me, there comes the point in your business where your business needs to step up and support you and support your family if you're going to stick with it. We all got through those startup stages of our business where we knew it was going to take awhile to figure things out and to get people in the door. Once you get a little bit further along on your journey and you're ready to make this your full-time focus, you need your business to pay you a real paycheck. No one loves to run a business that can't support the entrepreneur running it. This is why it's so, so important to have a game plan for how you're going to design that predictably profitable business.

Let me ask you, have you ever found yourself just hustling, hustling, hustling in your business? You feel like you're doing all the things to bring clients into your business, but you're just not seeing a steady flow of new potential clients who are ready to work with you. If your experience as an entrepreneur has been inconsistent clients and inconsistent cash flow, then I want you to keep watching because today we're going to talk about this significant leak that is happening in so many entrepreneur's businesses. This leak prevents those dream clients from becoming paying clients and the good news is once you understand what this leak is, it's simple to fix. Backstory: I was at an event not too long ago, and everybody got one of those enormous post-it note papers. The assignment at this event was to map out your business in the next 12 months. There were a couple of different sections everybody was filling out. They were filling out what they were offering, a lot of people had a lot

Today, all those fixer-upper binge watching sessions are paying off as I share some of my favorite lessons from Ms. Joanna Gaines that you can apply into your business. Check it out. One of the things that I have seen over the years is that often my students want to skip ahead. They want to skip ahead to what seems to be the more fun and interesting stuff. They want to skip ahead to the marketing strategy and to other things that they think sound more important in their business. I started thinking about how I could explain why the foundational pieces are so important. I went on the treadmill at the gym, watching Fixer-Upper – which is one of my absolute favorite shows. I don’t even have a TV, but I have watched every single episode of Fixer-Upper. So today I'm sharing the two biggest lessons from Joanna Gaines on building a sustainable business!

Is your business sustainable? This is such an important piece of the entrepreneurship puzzle and I don’t think it’s talked about enough. We are in a current entrepreneurial culture right now that seems to worship the hustle, the badge of honor that comes with saying, “I work 12 hours a day,” or 16 hours a day. “I’m putting in 80-100 hour weeks.” But, I shared some statistics recently in a new master class 3 Essential Strategies to Design a Predictably Profitable Business. One of the things that really shakes me is that despite the rate of people starting new small businesses, 80% of those small businesses will close their doors within the first 18 months. The survival rate beyond that is abysmal. It’s terrible. Most people simply are not making sustainability a part of the conversation when they are starting their business and running their business. After being at this for nearly a decade on my own, I’m here to tell you that if you’re in your business for the long haul: Sustainability is just as important as

When it comes to getting new clients, high-touch always wins out over high tech. Especially when you are in the start-up stage of your business or you simply don't have a large audience. And the conversion rates speak for themselves. Even a brand-new coach, consultant, or service provider could see one-out-of-four phone calls translate into a paying client. That's a 25% conversion rate. When you compare that to the standard 1-2% of your email list converting into clients with a traditional online launch, it's easy to see that your energy may be best spent picking up the phone. The challenge? Actually knowing how to have calls convert into clients {without feeling like a sleazy salesperson}. Without a real understanding of how this call fits into your Customer Journey, it's really easy for these calls to quickly become an exercise in potential clients just picking your brain. And that's why so many entrepreneurs become frustrated! They are constantly spending time on the phone, feeling
