Speaker:

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

door, which I knew was:

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,

you're showing up at:

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.

318

:

Thank you so much for listening to this

episode of Women in the Coaching Arena.

319
