 I’m pressing pause on the podcast. This is going to allow me, as a business owner and leader, to take a step back and recalibrate, so that when I come back, I’m showing up at my absolute best. During this pause, there won’t be any new podcast content, but in my time “off”, I will be rethinking the podcast and creating my vision for it. I’ll also be working with my team in the back end of the business to help create organizational efficiency and get everything streamlined so that the business can make even more of an impact. In this week’s episode of On Purpose, I talk with you about: Why I’m pressing pause on the podcast Why I feel like it’s time to take a step back from content creation How to focus your creative energy so that it goes further Why working on the backend of your business is critical to growing as a business owner This is not “goodbye”, this is, “see you later.” In the meantime, stay subscribed to the email list so that you can stay connected.

 Due to Alex being sick, today’s solo episode is a replay of one of her favorite past episodes (Episode 037)! Believe it or not, there was a time when I used to feel like the biggest fraud. ​​​​​​​ Today I’m an online business coach, but I first started my career as a photographer. I remember on my first few shoots I would show up full of nerves, wondering if I was worthy of being on the shoot, wondering if I’d know how to pose my client, or how to overcome the awkward silences.  ​​​​​​​ I look back now and know that I was suffering from something called ‘imposter syndrome’. When you’re first getting started with *anything* in life, it can be very common to feel this sense of unease, as though you haven’t fully proven yourself to be worthy of whatever it is that you’re doing. ​​​​​​​ Well today I’ve got some advice on Imposter Syndrome for you, all inspired by pop princess Ariana Grande. In this episode, I chat about: putting yourself out there without shame embracing the new, awkward, clunky phase of your business how to get people's attention before launching a new product how to build upon momentum ​​​​​​​​I hope it inspires you as much as it did me.

#084 - How to Deal with Negative Feedback with Virginia Salas Kastilio

 I’m so excited to share with you the results of my most recent launch of Project Storyline. While this was the most prepared I have ever been in a launch, there were a lot of surprising twists and turns along the way. Our cost per lead on our Facebook Ads was way higher than expected, however our leads ended up converting better than expected so it evened itself out. Our pop up Facebook group was opened earlier, yet didn’t really have an increase in engagement compared to last time. We reached only 70% of our challenge signups goal, yet hit 90% of our sales goal.

#082 - How to Intentionally Overcome Lazy Tendencies in Your Business with Jamie Varon

 Before I share my step-by-step outline of how to get more quality followers on Instagram, I just want to remind you that registration for Project Storyline closes tomorrow! Don’t let this EPIC opportunity pass you by! ? Click here to become a Project Storyliner today! Okay - now time for a confession. I used to be OBSESSED with how many people were following me, and I used to give it more attention than how much I was profiting. Seems backwards right? As a business owner, why obsess more over how many followers you have vs. how much money you’re making? Thankfully, things are different now. I’m no longer concerned with how many people are following me, instead I’m concerned with the depth of my relationship with my following. Because while followers does not equal sales, the depth of my relationship with my following makes sales a hell of a lot easier. I’ve narrowed down what I believe is the best way to grow your Instagram following in 2019 (because yes, the platforms are always changing, so keep up). On this week’s episode of On Purpose, I talk about where to focus your attention so that you can create and grow a captive audience.   Lastly, the last few weeks have been a wild ride of Double Down On Your DMs and my 10 Instagram Story Tips, Tricks & Hacks webinar. Tomorrow, the fun will come to an end unless you sign up for Project Storyline. Project Storyline empowers you to show up more consistently and strategically on your Instagram Stories by helping you know exactly what to post. Don’t procrastinate because we’re going to be closing Project Storyline TOMORROW and it won’t be re-opening until next year. You need to get your message out there to the world so that you can start making the impact you know you were born to make. Life is too short to keep saying “one day I’ll start”. Make TODAY the day you decide that yes, you’re going to start growing a following of people who are genuinely excited by who you are and what you do in the world. It’s time to live your truth, and share it with the world, and I want to help make it as easy as possible with Project Storyline. Click here to join Project Storyline for only $30 a month.
