Hey Winner,

Have you thought of stepping into the in-person arena with your business? And when I ask that, what I mean is by attending live events for networking (and learning) purposes as well as possibly hosting in-person retreats or conferences as another product offering inside your business.

This is another avenue to grow that takes social media out of the equation, and it’s also one where you’ll really enrich your relationships and find deeper connections. Because of this, I wanted to talk with Alison K about the tools it takes for building a successful in-person revenue center for our businesses.

We’ll cover what the most critical parts of building an in-person arm of your business are, why being online isn’t about selling or making sales, and why the future depends on having in-person in your business.

Hey Winner,

I’ve written my welcome email sequence for new subscribers, I’m feeling so accomplished knowing they have something ready for them when they get on my list.But now what? 

So many questions… What happens next? What do I send them now? How do I come up with content to send my readers each week? How do I get them to want to open an email from me? Should I worry about people unsubscribing from my email list? Tips to lower unsubscribes? How often should I clean my list? Why isn’t my email list buying from me? What are some ways to casually sell to my list so I don't feel like a salesperson every time?

I’ve had all these questions and more along the way, and this is why I wanted to bring Kate Doster in to go deeper into all things email marketing, as it’s a great place to nurture your leads and turn them into customers.

Hey Winner,

Doing something against the grain can be a little scary, since you’re stepping into the unknown. If you’re feeling the tug to do social media differently (or not at all), then part of the process is shifting your mindset from a scarcity, “I have to be in all the places” mindset to a growth, “I can do it in a way that works for me” mindset. 

When we embrace a growth mindset as entrepreneurs, we can build emotional resilience, see setbacks as growth opportunities and be committed to lifelong learning. This concept is so important, which is why Kate House and I are discussing it today. You’ll hear why mindset matters, how a growth mindset will support your business growth, and what steps to take to cultivate one.

I’ll also walk you through how to create a “when I don’t feel like it” plan, so you’re prepared for those challenging days. By the end of this episode, you’ll be equipped with faith-driven tools to persevere, plus actionable steps to take inspired, consistent action toward the goals God has placed on your heart.
