Hello and welcome to Women in

the Coaching Arena podcast.

2

I'm so glad you are here.

3

I'm Jo Lott, a business mentor

and ICF accredited coach

4

Microphone (Samson Q2U Microphone):

and I help coaches to

5

build brilliant businesses.

6

I know that when you prepare to enter

the arena, there is fear, self doubt,

7

comparison, anxiety, uncertainty, shame.

8

You can tend to armor up and

protect yourself from vulnerability.

9

In this podcast, I'll be sharing

honest, not hype, practical and

10

emotional tools to support you to make

the difference that you are here for.

11

Dare greatly.

12

You belong in this arena.

13

Hello, welcome to the 37th episode

of women in the coaching arena.

14

I am so glad you are here.

15

I have been away on a

mastermind in France for a week.

16

And I've come back brimming with ideas

that I'm excited to share with you today.

17

What I've learned from spending six days

with 12 high-performing business owners

18

is that they put out a lot of offers.

19

So I'm excited to share this

challenge with you today.

20

To earn 2 K in two weeks.

21

It's amazing what is possible

when you set yourself a challenge?

22

I set myself this challenge when

I was away for Easter holidays.

23

And I listened to Helen Pritchard

who's the LinkedIn trainer

24

live on LinkedIn that day.

25

And she said exactly that.

26

Set yourself a challenge and

really visualize what you

27

want and why you want it.

28

So at that point I wanted a new front

29

So it was ideal.

30

I was away for Easter

holidays for two weeks.

31

So I was thinking, well, I can't

earn any money because I can't do

32

any calls Cause I'm away my kids.

33

And instead, because I had the

goal, I looked at what was possible.

34

While the kids were upstairs, getting

ready, made a sales page and earned

35

three K in the two weeks that I was away.

36

So anything is possible if you set

yourself that goal and really, really

37

go for it instead of thinking, oh, well,

I'm away, nothing I can do about this

38

because there is things you can do.

39

So I'm excited too.

40

open up that possibility for you today.

41

So this is a five step process.

42

Our first step is to set the intention.

43

So set yourself that money goal now.

44

A suggestion is two K

in the next two weeks.

45

So if you are listening to this

episode on its release date of 23rd

46

of November, we will be talking about

adding two K by the 7th of December.

47

So, whatever the date is for you now.

48

Set your money goal

and set your deadline.

49

Now I would love you to focus

on how you are going to feel

50

when you receive that money?

51

Really, really go into it.

52

Don't stop yourself by

thinking it's not possible.

53

Just really imagine.

54

When I had my new front door fitted.

55

I could just see, pulling up to my house,

seeing the door looking really lovely.

56

That was my goal.

57

So really step into that now.

58

If there is any judgment from

yourself, then write it down

59

and really acknowledge it.

60

Explore it is that actually true

because as we know as coaches,

61

most of the things that go round

in our head, Are limiting beliefs.

62

So get them out of your head onto

paper so you can really explore

63

anything that's in your way.

64

Also thinking about

setting that intention.

65

Writing down your goal is super

powerful and signing it with your

66

commitment that this is what you

will do over this period of time.

67

And prepared to go all in.

68

If those limiting beliefs

come up and they will.

69

Then know that you have already

planned, for example, you're going

70

to do EFT or meditation or exercise.

71

Or journal, what are you going to do

to stop those beliefs when they tell

72

you that this isn't possible for you?

73

So plan that all now.

74

Another great thing you can

do is declutter the space

75

that you are working in.

76

Start to do the things that are

gonna make you feel like this

77

successful person who is going to

earn two K in the next two weeks.

78

Put yourself an hour in your diary now to

really do this process, set the intention.

79

Write down exactly what you want.

80

I Write down negative

consequences as well.

81

So if I do make two K in the

next two weeks, what's the

82

worst thing that can happen.

83

Often we can feel like we are being

greedy or all of those things can come up.

84

So really explore this goal.

85

What you're going to do

when the inevitable limiting

86

beliefs get in the way.

87

And set your commitment and sign it.

88

Share it with others.

89

I was away on this retreat

with a ex military guy.

90

And the way he runs his group

is completely mindblowing.

91

I would love to do something similar.

92

But I'm just really trying

to think about how to do it.

93

In a way that doesn't cause shame.

94

So basically what he does is.

95

It's a public thing.

96

You share what you're

going to do that day?

97

And then at the end of the day, his

virtual assistant does a table of

98

like, red cross is if they don't

share their objective for the day.

99

So it really just helps you to

have that public accountability.

100

Accountability does make you 95%

more likely to achieve your goal.

101

So there are huge elements of his

system that I really like, and I will

102

definitely be inviting people into

way more accountability in my program.

103

Okay.

104

So first step we have set the intention.

105

Our second step is to

get that plan together.

106

So now we know what we want our vision.

107

Let's work on the strategy.

108

For this, you are going to

break down your money goals.

109

So if you are going with my

suggestion of two K think about, is

110

that one one-to-one coaching offer.

111

Is that a smaller group

program for 10 people.

112

There were loads of ways you can make

money and stand out by giving people a

113

really convenient way to work with you.

114

So some suggestions are a Voxer day,

so Voxer is a bit like WhatsApp and

115

people can message you back and forth

if they really want to work on one

116

specific goal with you for a day.

117

Maybe you could run an in-person event.

118

You could do a VIP day where you

spend the entire day with someone.

119

You could do some power hours.

120

You could do something done for you.

121

And I think this is often

something we forget as coaches.

122

Because we trust that the person's

resourceful and everything.

123

But what I noticed recently, when I

put out a done for you niche offer,

124

Everybody absolutely whipped up because

it's too easy to get stuck in our head.

125

And sometimes we just need to pay

people to do the things that we

126

are holding ourselves back on.

127

Another example is that I now pay my

virtual assistant to do my LinkedIn

128

connections because I love growing

my connections, but I'm not always

129

consistent with hitting connect.

130

So I engage.

131

I do all of the relationship building,

but she hits that connect button for me.

132

So there are so many things

you can do for people to really

133

help them to move forward.

134

Lots of the people on the mastermind

I was with I doing a week of support.

135

So it's a really intensive week.

136

You might meet three times a week.

137

Some of them are intending to

meet every single day to really

138

work on a particular goal.

139

For example, I would love to do

something like this for helping people

140

to get their email list up and running.

141

It's the task that can often

fall to the bottom of the pile.

142

So I think a focused week on that

I'm not doing at the moment so far

143

too many other offers going on.

144

But at some point, that's a nice

idea to get people over the line,

145

get the tech up and running and

get their email list kick-started.

146

So, what is it for you?

147

What are you going to sell to add

your two K over the next two weeks?

148

Now set your deadline

for people to buy this.

149

Perhaps midnight, two weeks from

now, or you might want to go.

150

At 5:00 PM.

151

So you're not up till midnight

because I think I set a goal of

152

midnight and it was a bad move.

153

Now, write down the consequences.

154

If they don't buy your thing.

155

So are they going to stay stuck?

156

Using the time of year is a

really great way of doing it.

157

Like imagine starting 2024 knowing that

you have this thing in place, knowing

158

that you have a plan- wherever it is for

your particular niche using the time of

159

year is a really powerful thing to do.

160

Now I would love you to add some bonuses.

161

So bonus for buying now.

162

And that really helps to help people make

a decision and do the best thing for them.

163

I know that there are people who bought

my bonus offer that I did recently.

164

Who have been procrastinating for years?

165

And it's finally helped

them to make a decision.

166

So whilst I don't agree

with false scarcity.

167

We do really need a decision for our

own benefit to move over the line.

168

If I could have thought about this

mastermind that I've joined I

169

would have thought about it forever.

170

He gave a deadline and I needed

to make my mind up pretty darn

171

quick, and I have never regretted a

decision that I've made like that.

172

Because you will always learn,

you will always move forward.

173

More than you would, if you

were just sitting around not

174

making any decisions at all.

175

So think about your bonus.

176

Allow yourself some time to

realize that, what you offer is

177

valuable and can change lives.

178

And whatever it takes for you to

find your driver that is going to

179

really help you to step into it.

180

Whether that is a new front door

or whether that is visualizing

181

this person who is out there

stuck and needs your help.

182

Set that intention now.

183

Take the time to really know

why this is important for you.

184

Step three is action.

185

Now, you know why you want

it, you know, your strategy.

186

We need to actually make it happen.

187

Go all in for the next two

weeks before Christmas.

188

It's the perfect time

to make the most of it.

189

If it means being the most helpful

person in a Facebook group.

190

And getting your name out there.

191

If it means commenting on 50 LinkedIn

posts a day, wherever you can do

192

to get in front of new people.

193

Can you speak at an event?

194

Can you contact a company and say, I'm

going to do a lunch and learn for you.

195

What can you do to really

ramp up your visibility?

196

Over the next two weeks.

197

So you do add this £2K.

198

People need to see your

offer 21 plus times to buy.

199

So that is why, for example,

you can go into canva.com.

200

And change your LinkedIn banner or

your Facebook banner to really help

201

people to see your offer and the

deadline really prominently regularly.

202

If you have an email list,

we're not sending one email,

203

we're sending several emails.

204

We want to get this thing in front

of people, as much as we can.

205

We're not just putting out

once and forgetting about it.

206

We are going all in

for the next two weeks.

207

Think about how good you will feel

ending the year with the money

208

in your pocket and having made

a difference to someone's life.

209

The person who hosts the

mastermind I'm part of, is

210

really big into Facebook groups.

211

So he would a hundred percent suggest

going through a process to make sure

212

you find an access active Facebook

groups and be really helpful person.

213

We're not going in there

to promote our, offer.

214

We are going in there too be a helpful

person and to be giving extremely

215

good value everywhere you go.

216

So people start looking you up

and wondering who is this person

217

who keeps helping everyone.

218

And engagement is how you can

really escalate your work.

219

We worked a lot when we

were away on gaining PR.

220

Really doing that borrowing of audiences,

especially if you're starting out

221

and haven't got your own audience.

222

Going on podcasts or speaking to

other people's events or in companies.

223

Who has got your audience and

how can you get in front of them?

224

If you use social media and now is

the time to do some videos to really

225

start showing up with pure value.

226

Can you do a live?

227

Can you do a masterclass?

228

How can you share social

proof every single day?

229

It's something I'm thinking a lot about

because I have got a lot of social proof.

230

And I really do want to start

sharing it every single day.

231

Because the biggest thing in this

industry is people finding someone

232

that they can trust to help them.

233

And I hear that time and time again.

234

Make sure everyone knows your deadline.

235

Make it a no-brainer offer.

236

Really keep asking yourself, how can I

make this a no brainer offer that they

237

would feel mad to not take me up on.

238

Okay, now we are on our

fourth and final step.

239

We want you to close

actively and not passively.

240

Many people that I see doing this,

put their offer out, and then

241

I think did they ever do that?

242

Do they ever run that group

program or whatever it might be.

243

But what happened is they put out once and

then they thought, no, one's going to buy.

244

And so they shrunk into the background

and never mentioned it again.

245

That is not what we're going

to do over the next two weeks.

246

We are going to go all in

close, actively, be showing up.

247

If your deadline is at midnight,

248

reminding them that this is the

opportunity to change their life.

249

Keep asking yourself,

what are their objections?

250

If they are in the fence and watching,

what is it that they are worried

251

about and create content or figure

out how to answer those questions?

252

List out everyone who's engaged

with you over the last two weeks.

253

My mentor, for example, once

messaged me when I took part in his

254

five day challenge two years ago.

255

So again, just shows the

average buyer's journey.

256

Saying, I'd just love to get your

feedback on why you didn't buy.

257

And because he sent a direct

message asking me that.

258

I then said, I've just bought this

other thing and I'm just, you know,

259

completely overwhelmed right now,

but I really love the challenge.

260

So really start learning.

261

What are those objections?

262

And that's a great way of you building

that relationship with them as well.

263

Most things come down to that last day.

264

Many people do sit on the fence.

265

I applied for this mastermind at 11:00 PM

because the deadline was at 12 o'clock.

266

Don't back out, send emails,

put things out, keep reminding

267

people off your deadline.

268

Our fifth and final step is to receive.

269

Relax, switch off.

270

Tune in to you.

271

Tune into nature, meditation, exercise,

no matter what the result, make sure that

272

this is time to celebrate the work that

you have put in over the last two weeks.

273

You will go to bed, knowing that you

have given everything to this process.

274

You have shown up.

275

You have told hundreds of

people about your offer.

276

You have helped them

to move off the fence.

277

Handle their objections

and change their lives.

278

Be Super proud of yourself that

you have shown up for you for

279

your business and for the world.

280

So do you message me if you are

going to take the challenge, I would

281

love to hear what is your goal?

282

What is your deadline?

283

And I will follow up with you in two

weeks time and see how you got on.

284

You can message me on LinkedIn.

285

Joanna Lott.

286

Or Instagram, Joanna Lott coaching.

287

I cannot wait to hear if you

take me up on this challenge.

288

So let me summarise today's episode.

289

We talked about setting

yourself a goal and a deadline.

290

And we laid out a five step

process to achieve this.

291

So firstly set the intention

really commit, go all in,

292

write out your goal, sign it.

293

Commit to going all in and achieving

it over the next two weeks or whatever

294

deadline you want to put on your goal.

295

Second, get a plan together.

296

So create your offers.

297

How many do you need to sell?

298

What are you going to

sell to achieve this goal?

299

Third up was action.

300

So now it's about getting seen and

as many places as possible being as

301

helpful as you can in as many places

as you can to really, really get

302

visible and get your offer out there.

303

Fourth was close actively, not passively.

304

Don't put one post out and then give

up thinking, no, one's interested.

305

It flopped.

306

You really, really have to

not back out, just keep it up.

307

Even if no one buys you will always learn.

308

So there is no such thing as failure.

309

This is going to be an amazing experience.

310

And fifth up was receive.

311

So now you have done all of the hard work.

312

Reflect on what went well,

what could have been better?

313

What would you do differently next time?

314

Use this as a learning, growing

experience and express gratitude to

315

yourself for showing up for your goal.

316

And like I say, at the end of every

episode, trust yourself, believe

317

in yourself and be the wise Gardner

who keeps on watering the seed.
