::

Week.

::

To dive in.

Or if this is.

The first time that you're.

::

Love to know.

Where in the world you are?

What part journey in your business?

::

Creation that you.

In the path of entrepreneurship and making waves in.

Coming up I am A1.

::

3IN human design and so that means I live and.

::

Lead.

::

From experience, I'm going to share that with you.

::

Here on the podcast and behind.

::

The scenes the question that I.

::

Want to?

::

Bring to the surface for the.

::

Foundation of this.

::

Conversation today is.

::

I don't have a large audience.

::

I have only.

::

X amount of people seeing my post.

::

The algorithm doesn't.

::

Like me, I have a small audience.

::

I only have.

::

X and there's a few.

::

Things that I want to.

::

Share with you.

::

One is about mindset 2.

::

Is about strategy, and three is what it really takes to sell out your

offers.

::

To begin the mindset.

::

Shift.

::

Your audience already.

::

Has.

::

People in it.

::

That want to work with you you already.

::

Have tons of.

::

People watching your stories, opening your emails, reading your posts.

::

And they want to.

::

Work with you, We tend to look.

::

At small.

::

Numbers as it's not enough, it's in scarcity.

::

But what if?

::

You shift the mindset to There's already tons of people following me

in my audience right now that want to work with me.

::

What if we shift?

::

The mindset from There's not enough.

::

To I am so grateful for the people that are.

::

In my community.

::

Watching me right now.

::

What if we focused on?

::

The gratitude for who is already there, who's already in our world,

opening the emails, liking your posts, liking your posts, and not

actually liking your posts.

::

This mindset of.

::

Only.

::

X amount of people this mindset of it's too small, of there's not

enough holds.

::

Us back from the truth that there are tons of people.

::

Watching us, wanting.

::

To work with us.

::

And they're just waiting to be ready.

::

They're just waiting to be ready.

::

And this is the strategy around getting your audience ready.

::

Are you speaking to the hearts?

::

To the desires?

::

To the pain of who is in your world?

::

That is a dream soul mate client.

::

Do you have a really good?

::

Marketing Content strategy plan.

::

Are you alternating the different types of post stories and ways in

which you can write an e-mail?

::

Are you focusing?

::

On.

::

Depth over.

::

Quantity are you?

::

Trying.

::

To get more.

::

People in your world to fill those last three spots of your retreat or

your.

::

Online offer or.

::

What if the strategy was instead?

::

Of trying to.

::

Reach more people.

::

You focused on.

::

Speaking to those.

::

That are on the fence.

::

Right now that are quietly watching you right now instead of.

::

Focusing on more.

::

What if you?

::

Focused on the strategy around how I remember when I first started my

business.

::

I didn't think.

::

I had an audience of dream Soulmate clients.

::

I focused on content strategy and I.

::

Quickly found out that there was dozens.

::

Of people in my audience that already wanted what I.

::

Had there is a strategy around reaching.

::

People like.

::

If you're running a business, you need to reach more people always to

continue to grow.

::

But before we think about more, what if we think about depth?

::

And this is something that I'm gonna be.

::

Going into during.

::

My free master class.

::

Barefoot and rich.

::

If you're not already signed up for.

::

That go to Amber Hagberg.

::

Dot com slash.

::

Barefoot and rich or.

::

You can just comment barefoot on my Instagram profile we want to think

about.

::

Depth of relationship and really connecting.

::

To the.

::

People.

::

In our world.

::

As well as the strategies around growing brand awareness and

visibility, if you're new to leading retreats, if you're new to.

::

Having an online business.

::

If you've just pivoted into a new area or expertise.

::

We need to focus on brand.

::

Awareness and I.

::

Call this the amplified impact method.

::

There's four ways that we can do this.

::

So if you have shifted.

::

Your mindset around how many people are in your audience.

::

If you've.

::

Shifted your mindset.

::

To.

::

Abundance.

::

Rather than scarcity if you are really dialing in your.

::

Strategy around content.

::

Sales and really getting people through the door and how you speak to.

::

Them making.

::

Sure that you're alternating different.

::

Types of content like you don't want to just.

::

Give value.

::

You don't want to just teach and educate.

::

You don't just want to share testimonials.

::

You don't just want to story tell.

::

You don't just want to talk about the benefits you want to do.

::

All of it and.

::

Often times it's about seeing.

::

Ourselves as they're using.

::

Your content marketing strategy to paint a.

::

Picture to paint a picture of where.

::

They are now.

::

And where they will be with you after the retreat.

::

After the online.

::

Courser program, but the four ways that if you're like OK.

::

I've done that, Amber.

::

Now like I want to continue.

::

To.

::

Grow my business.

::

The amplified impact method.

::

First thing first is.

::

Marketing, Marketing, Marketing.

::

Marketing Are you?

::

Creating content.

::

In a strategic way, alternating the right.

::

Pieces of content.

::

Which I just shared Marketing, knowing that who you are, the vision

and mission of your.

::

Brand and.

::

The key pillars that make your brand different.

::

From the.

::

Rest like.

::

When someone thinks about you, they think about.

::

Your brand They.

::

Land.

::

Upon your business or your brand, somewhere in some way there's going

to be key core concepts.

::

This is the what?

::

In your content strategy.

::

Where the how?

::

Is benefits talking about?

::

Who it's for storytelling giving, value sharing.

::

Testimonials painting a.

::

Picture being bold.

::

Saying things most.

::

People don't say leadership posts going against the grain posts.

::

Yes, those are the the what's.

::

But the how's?

::

That we get to weave in to the.

::

Content and.

::

The.

::

Marketing strategy.

::

Marketing.

::

Or advertising is just consistently creating?

::

Content weaving in the different types of content and.

::

Thinking when?

::

When you're creating.

::

Content.

::

And you're questioning.

::

Why am I not?

::

Getting more seen?

::

I don't have enough people in my audience.

::

How do I fill these spots?

::

If I only have so many people on my e-mail list.

::

When is the last?

::

Time.

::

That you?

::

Did a content audit?

::

When is the last time that you?

::

Went through and read your emails, you read your post, you read your

stories and asked yourself, would I buy this?

::

Did I really sell it?

::

Is it a clear picture of what's included?

::

Who it's for?

::

The outcome that's.

::

Going to take place?

::

How often do you with love?

::

Kindness and compassion audit your content.

::

Or if you have a team, have your.

::

Team audit or if you have a mentor, have your mentor check it out.

::

To make sure that you are.

::

Constantly.

::

Refining your marketing.

::

And your messaging and.

::

If you were in a place where your business is growing and you're

getting yeses and you're getting no's in your offers.

::

And your retreats.

::

Are you creating content?

::

For the objections that you're getting for why people are telling you

no, are you replanting new seeds?

::

On how?

::

That, no is limiting their their their ability to get what they

desire, how their thought process and beliefs.

::

Around something.

::

Is actually what's holding them back from getting what it is they

desire and this.

::

Is going to come from.

::

Auditing your business and auditing your content so you can get.

::

Better at marketing?

::

And then another way for you to get more visible and grow your

audience is through networking.

::

This is huge.

::

Getting yourself in the right spaces and places for more.

::

People to know.

::

About your vision, your mission, your.

::

Brand and your company.

::

Going to in.

::

Person Events and Retreats joining online programs Masterminds.

::

Courses getting yourself into different spaces like going out and

networking if you live in places like Colorado or Arizona or.

::

Cali and there's Entrepreneur.

::

Meetups.

::

There's Yogi meetups, there's retreats, and there's events of.

::

Like minded people where not only now are you talking about what?

::

You do, but more people in your world are knowing about what you do.

::

Networking is huge.

::

There's that famous.

::

Saying, and I say it all the time, your net worth.

::

Is your network.

::

It's why I love the CEO.

::

Ripple collective so much that just the $97.00 a month to be in my.

::

Monthly membership.

::

The community is worth it because they're supporting each other,

They're coaching each other, They're giving each other's ideas.

::

They're.

::

Supporting one another.

::

And then the third piece?

::

Of the amplified impact method.

::

Is collaboration.

::

This is collaboration through having affiliates in your world.

::

Past clients, friends.

::

Mentors, other people out there who are selling your work for you.

::

Someone who already knows likes.

::

And trusts you talking about your, retreats talking about your.

::

Programs talking about your business like.

::

I have several people that have signed up to Barefoot and Rich this

week because of affiliates.

::

If you want to do affiliates, you can give away bonuses that

incentivize your people to share your work if it's a.

::

Program.

::

Or a retreat paying.

::

Them.

::

Commission.

::

So now it's not just you out there doing the work.

::

You have little fairies out there in the world talking about your work

and they're reaping the benefits because A they love you, and B

they're helping someone in their life who needs your work find you.

::

So they are.

::

Living More on.

::

Purpose with purpose.

::

Sharing what you?

::

Do, and they're getting something out of it.

::

Whether they enter to get a giveaway, they're getting Commission for

what it is that they sell.

::

And collaborating.

::

Can be more than just affiliates.

::

It can be going live with people in the CEO of Ripple Collective.

::

It can be going to do a retreat.

::

With someone that you've met on a retreat.

::

It can be Co hosting an online event together collaborating.

::

So that now you're marketing and advertising something.

::

And.

::

So is someone.

::

Else you're getting put in front of their audience, they're getting

put in front.

::

Of your audience and now not only.

::

Are you serving your audience with a new expert coming into your

field, but you're going to be a new expert in someone else's field?

::

This is a great way to grow brand awareness and recognition is to

collaborate and affiliate with other people.

::

In your.

::

World Marketing.

::

Networking and collaboration are all time investments.

::

The final piece?

::

Of this is paid advertising in the beginning, Yes, paid advertising.

::

Does take time to tweak the funnel and really find out the customer

journey from the time that they.

::

Come into your world through a paid aisle to like where they go.

::

And it's called lifetime value based upon where the customer journey

takes them and this.

::

Is through money, so as your business starts.

::

To make money.

::

You can reinvest that.

::

Money into paid.

::

Advertising where you get.

::

Your time back.

::

The biggest mistake what I see people making is just throwing.

::

Money at ads?

::

Without strategically.

::

Having a funnel, you need to.

::

Know where you're.

::

Taking them.

::

And what the end result or goal for your paid ad is and if?

::

You want to learn more?

::

About that, stay tuned because I do have a.

::

Program coming soon on paid advertising.

::

But strategically.

::

If you want to grow.

::

And get more visible.

::

Better marketing plan.

::

Get out there and network.

::

Be in collaboration and.

::

Finally, paid ads.

::

You're going to discover that there are one to three of those that

you're really good at, two to three of those that you're like, no, no

thanks.

::

Focus on the one that you're.

::

Really good.

::

At.

::

And commit to learning and mastering.

::

A couple more of.

::

Those that's.

::

Going to exponentially.

::

Help you grow your brand to sell out those last few spots.

::

Some things that I want you to really contemplate like.

::

If you're only getting seen by 50 to 80 people, are you actually?

::

Connecting.

::

With the people that are engaging that are.

::

Commenting that are.

::

Opening your emails, are you going deep with your audience?

::

Are you being?

::

Social on social media.

::

Are you putting yourself out there and giving as much as you would

like to receive often?

::

Times people are like Amber.

::

No one's engaging with my post.

::

No one likes my post.

::

Like no one's getting seen by me and I'm like.

::

How social are you on social media every day?

::

I'm not.

::

How many people do you follow, like, comment and engage?

::

I don't.

::

Part of being social, especially in the beginning.

::

To get your brand known and recognized is you going out there and

engaging with other accounts that inspire you and light you.

::

Up you putting yourself out there in the?

::

Beginning it's harder.

::

You've got to get your name known and recognized and really get

uncomfortable.

::

But when you have a vision and a mission that's so big, you're willing

to put the extra effort.

::

In the beginning.

::

So that you.

::

Are more known and recognized, but something that I really want us to

dial.

::

In from this episode is a lot more now.

::

This is our mindset.

::

High Amazon High.

::

Fast food high.

::

Instant gratification.

::

The people.

::

In your audience, they want to.

::

Work with you.

::

They just need to see it more.

::

They just need to trust you more.

::

They need to see you show up more.

::

Yes, we always need to be.

::

Refining and mastering our marketing and our messaging.

::

Making sure that we can speak even more clearly to their wants, their

needs and their desires.

::

But often.

::

Times It's really about patience.

::

Practicing patience.

::

Focusing on what you.

::

Already have.

::

Celebrating how far you've come.

::

Patience, recognition, celebration for what it is and where you are

right now.

::

And in the meantime of where you.

::

Are and where you desire to be to put your?

::

Attention to stay.

::

Busy.

::

Really.

::

Refining and mastering what it?

::

Takes to grow a business.

::

Content creation.

::

Marketing, Networking, Sales and Depth of Relationship.

::

Quality over.

::

Quantity How?

::

Deep Can you go with those that are already in the room with you?

::

And how can you focus on?

::

What you do?

::

Have sometimes, sometimes what we need.

::

Is to really set up a diverse product suite.

::

I just shared a piece.

::

Of content on this today on Instagram and.

::

It's.

::

In this is just a little tangent, a little story that I want to share

with you.

::

Because I think it's important.

::

That we understand.

::

That this stuff does take.

::

Time.

::

But also how quickly things can change two years.

::

Ago.

::

My son, newly born he he's going to be to on March 16th.

::

I literally would walk.

::

The streets postpartum with him tied to my chest, listening to my.

::

Dream mentors.

::

Podcasts.

::

Listening to her free content events and showing up.

::

To these listens to these events like I had paid thousands of dollars

like I would.

::

Listen, and I would implement.

::

I would.

::

Listen.

::

And I would implement.

::

And at that time, my business had gone like way backwards from where I

had grown, because I had.

::

Just pivoted to.

::

Becoming a business coach.

::

I had just decided that there was.

::

Something new for me.

::

So I was in a really big shift.

::

In that moment and I was making like 60,000.

::

Dollars a year, Which?

::

Most of that income was coming in from my.

::

In person retreats.

::

Not my online business anymore.

::

And so I.

::

Slowly began to increase my revenue in the moment that I had it and my

mentors started to.

::

Sell a course.

::

It was called Sought After like I need this.

::

I bought the course.

::

It was like $1000 and then you could upgrade.

::

To the mastermind and I was like, this was so good.

::

I'm going to upgrade to the mastermind and I really wanted one-on-one

coaching.

::

I really wanted to do one-on-one coaching because I'd been.

::

In business for three years, like I already knew what to.

::

Do I just wanted personalized feedback?

::

But I couldn't get it yet.

::

It was a big investment and so I did the.

::

Mastermind and I spent nine months in her mastermind and what this

mastermind?

::

Taught me was refinement and mastery and not jumping from one thing to

another to another into another.

::

And so the first year that I worked with her, it was free, Then it was

the course, then it.

::

Was the mastermind, and then I.

::

Took a break.

::

I was like I need to.

::

Stop being coached.

::

And I need to coach myself.

::

I want to get in my own lane.

::

I want to understand what I already know.

::

Put into practice and just.

::

Run by myself.

::

And then?

::

Today I'm sending my baby.

::

Off to preschool.

::

I'm like, how is this happening?

::

He's off to preschool.

::

With his best friend, my best friend's son and I thought.

::

Wow, Two years ago we walked these streets of Costa.

::

Rica and all I wanted was Dream Soulmate clients to be changing.

::

Lives to be making thousands of dollars a day receiving celebrations

this.

::

Morning, I woke.

::

Up to celebrations.

::

From two of my mastermind.

::

Clients, three people.

::

In my Instagram.

::

DMS like hey.

::

I've been wanting this course forever.

::

I finally hopped in.

::

I'm so excited.

::

Over 100 people inside the.

::

Barefoot and rich, I'm like, Oh my gosh.

::

Two years.

::

That's how quickly it can.

::

All change.

::

But it seemed.

::

In the moment.

::

Like I want it now.

::

I want it now.

::

But.

::

Now I'm here and I'm like, oh.

::

My gosh, it's here.

::

It's already here like I'm.

::

Living what I.

::

Always wanted and I stayed.

::

Plugged in to my mission.

::

And my dreams and my big why.

::

When I lost my.

::

Why my business was like, what are you doing?

::

What's the?

::

Point of all this, you have to know why you're doing what you're.

::

Doing.

::

And then that's going to motivate you to.

::

Create momentum.

::

Even when no.

::

One's buying.

::

And to stick with something for several years and watch what happens.

::

When you find a mentor.

::

Start with where you're at.

::

Go to the free stuff.

::

Fall in love until.

::

You get the course.

::

Fall.

::

Deeper in love.

::

Then.

::

That's why I.

::

Built up my product suite the way I have.

::

I had someone sign up for the membership and was like, hey, I didn't

know how I was going to pay for the month.

::

Next month, she got three clients.

::

She's almost ready to sign up for the mastermind.

::

I've had other people that are like.

::

Hey, I'm just going to be in the membership until I get to the

mastermind.

::

It's like.

::

Build a product suite that allows your.

::

Clients to grow.

::

To the next.

::

Level.

::

To create a customer journey that just.

::

Keeps ascending them.

::

Like, they keep growing and then they're like, what's next, Amber?

::

They keep growing and then they're.

::

Like, what's next, Amber?

::

But that does.

::

You know, I've gone off on a tangent here, but it's because I really

want to emphasize like just one year.

::

Ago I was at.

::

$3000 a month.

::

Now here I am and I'm paying one year with a private mentor, the dream

mentor I've had.

::

For two years.

::

And so when it comes to like growing your brand, getting those last

few spots.

::

Really.

::

Seeking to reach more people.

::

This short answer.

::

Could maybe just?

::

Be patience time, and then the long answer is like refinement and

your.

::

Marketing and your messaging and depth and your connection.

::

To the.

::

Audience that you already.

::

Have I can't wait to hear how this lands with you.
