The School of Self-Mastery: Business, Money, Life

The School of Self-Mastery podcast is all about business, money and life. I talk with guests who have created a RICH life for themselves, not because they’re bathing in money, (although they may be doing that too) but because they’ve defined and created success on their own terms, through their own personal successful habits. Habits are the root of simplifying your success I also appear solo two days a week to dive deeper into self-mastery topics and give actionable takeaways you can start applying today.

I'm back in the triathlon game as of this weekend. I put a hold on my racing game all of last year to focus on growing the business, but I've officially registered for a few races at the end of summer to get my head back in the game. 

I've always been an athlete and there is something primal within me that feels the need to compete and race {I've felt this since I was a little girl}. 

I wanted to break down in this episode some of the traits and skills that being an athlete has taught me that I can also bring to my business. 

1. Discipline.

It’s not the will to win that matters -- everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.  -- Paul “Bear” Bryant

Everyone wants to show up on race day and win, but the athletes who win are winning because they have prepared in advance and committed to the training. 

The same thing is true in business. You can’t expect to win on race day without showing up and preparing. This means taking action even when you don’t “feel” like it. 

2. Handling fear, risks, and uncertainty

Never let the fear of striking out get in your way. -- Babe Ruth

Being able to handle uncertainty, risks, & fear is essential to creating success, and stepping outside of your comfort zone is what cultivates growth. Athletes understand this and are able to push through when necessary.

3. Resilience.

I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty six times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. -- Michael Jordan

I’ve interviewed over 100 entrepreneurs for my podcast, The School of Self-Mastery podcast, and every single one of them has identified that their successes are a results of their failures. 

There are going to be tons of missed shots, slow races, injuries, and lost games on the road to a world championship. If we are willing to reflect and learn from our failures, they are the reasons for our success.

4. Commitment to growth

Athletes spend time honing their craft, they know there is always room for improvement and they’re willing to spend the money, time and energy to ensure they enhance their skill sets, they know that if they’re not getting better, they’re getting left behind.  

I have personally spent thousands of dollars on courses, mentors, certifications, and books because in my mind it’s no different than my life as an athlete and hiring the best trainer, equipment or coach to get me to the next level, to push me to places I couldn’t go on my own, and to improve my game.

5. Run Your Own Race

Most business owners want to look around, look ahead, and look behind to see who's creeping up, but the that will only cause you to trip and fall. Keeping your head in your own game is critical to your success and improvement. 

As a triathlete, I know that the only person I'm really competing with each race day is myself. I can only realistically compare myself to my best time, and work towards achieving a PR that day on the course. 

Constant comparison will slow you down, mess with your mind, and cause you to lose focus on what YOU really want.

A successful business includes these three elements: message, messenger, and medium.

Message: What's being said.

Messenger: Who's saying it.

Medium: How it’s being said.

While most people hyper-focus on the message, rack their brains, bang their heads and then give up because their message wasn't unique enough, I want to approach this from a different angle.

The message has already been said.

Everything that will be said has already been said.

So, stop worrying so much about that and instead focus on your role as the messenger. The person who needs to deliver it.

There is someone out there in the interwebs, or even in real life, who needs to hear that exact message from YOU in order for it to sink in, to make sense, or to cause them to act.

The messenger is something that gets overlooked, but it's the most important piece.

Has this ever happened to you...someone said something to you 6 different times, but when someone else said it the first time, it clicked.

Of course it has. And you are the CLICK for someone else.

Go be a messenger.

Get access to the FREE Permission to Hustle mini-course here where you'll discover how to create the right message and be the messenger unapologetically!

I stood up Oprah this weekend.

About a month or so ago, my girl, Marie Forleo, shared that she'd be speaking at Oprah's Super Soul Sunday in LA and they were selling tickets to attend.

I thought it would be super cool and inspiring to be in the room with Oprah, Marie, and some other incredible humans.

So, I bought the ticket. Booked the flight {in and out within 36 hours to LA}.

Then I had the most incredibly inspiring {yet, exhausting} weekend in Vegas last weekend, a red-eye flight home and over 30 hours of just client calls and meetings, workshops, etc this week.

Plus...I hadn't had any real quality alone time with Tyler in two weeks because of travel.

I canceled.

I lost some money.

I decided that if I went, yes I would be inspired, but would it align with my goals? Move my business forward? Ehh, maybe. {But probably not - no offense Oprah!}

Not really aligned with what I'm working on...And I still have tons of stuff to implement from last weekend, so I don't need more of that if I'm being honest with myself.

The part of my business that needed me the most this weekend was the part that takes time away.

My fiancé needed more than my business needed me this weekend.

My fiancé and pups wanted to spend time with me more than Oprah did {the cold hard truth}.

And while saying no was really hard and sure I got FOMO probably 66 times today...I had an incredible, and much needed day with my man {and pups}.

Which I guarantee will allow me to pour into my business and into my clients next week way more than sitting in the same room as Oprah will. {maybe?}

I knew taking the red-eye home tonight -- I'd be on a plane at this very moment - would mean another week where I just tried to play catch up the entire time.

Not cute for me.

Sometimes the thing your business needs is not more inspiration, not more business, but rather MORE LIFE.

Your business needs you to have a life. That's where creativity lives. That's where ideas emerge. That's where you create the internal freedom.

When you're making decisions for YOUR business - ask if it's aligned with your goals, if it's not, it's a no 🙌🏻

So, today I stood up Oprah, but I don't think she missed me.

When thinking about my whole "permission to hustle" concept -- this is actually the EPITOME of hustling in my mind.

Yes, not going to this event was hustling.

How, you ask? Because it had nothing to do with my goals.

I don't want you to hustle for the sake of it, or work non-stop! I want you to get smart and strategic about what you need to be focused on and hustle on that! That's where permission to hustle comes in. This isn't about burning out, it's about taking ambition and turning it into action unapologetically, but only when it aligns with the results you want to create.

Oprah didn't align for me this weekend.

When we think of sales funnels, we often think that all they're good for is automating your business and making you more money. 

But the truth is, sales funnels are the best way to stay relevant and give your audience logical next step solutions to their problems, which in turn will help them get better results. 

And isn't that what we all want? 

So, instead of avoiding this concept because you don't care about automating or the thought of it feels salesy, I want you to listen to this episode and hear why you're doing your audience a disservice by NOT running them through a logical and relevant funnel.

Not all ideal clients are built the same, and the typical ideal client avatar just doesn't make sense. A lot of your ideal clients won't look, act or dress the same, but it doesn't really matter if they have the same pain points, aspirations, challenges, etc. and that's where you come in. 

Your ideal clients aren't all going to be ready to work with you when you're ready to offer them something. There's a better way to approach your ideal clients, lead them through a process that helps get them better results and speaks to their needs at this specific moment in your relationship with them.

Yes, you're in a relationship with every single person in your audience. And all of those relationships are at different phases...are you nurturing them each in the way it needs to be nurtured to lead to the next step?

In this episode, I'll share the 3 dating phases of ideal clients so that you can make sure you're not moving too fast, too slow or proposing on the first date.

Want to know the 3 essential ingredients that might be missing from your sales page?

This may be news to you, but people rarely just buy off a sales page. Your sales page isn’t going to necessarily be your conversion vehicle. Prospects turned buyers will usually happen on email sequences, webinars, discovery calls, etc. 

I've even sold programs without a sales page at all. So don't super stress over it, but if you're going to create one, make sure it has these 3 essentials:

 

1. Disruptive & obvious payments buttons.

 -- make sure the color pops so they stand out

 -- make sure there are 3 of them throughout the page

 -- put a count down timer next to your payment button to increase conversions {http://countdowndynamite.com/}

The second essential ingredient for a kick-ass sales page is…

 

2. High quality testimonials.

 -- use images with testimonials

 -- lead with outcomes/results that relate to what you're selling

For more details on how to get & structure your testimonial download my

'how to get a killer client testimonial cheatsheet': www.adriennedorison.com/testimonial 

 

 

3. Bonuses

 -- bonuses that compliment your offer

 -- needs to be something of value to be effective

 -- section should be clear on when bonuses start/stop

 

Download my 5 types of bonuses to include in your next program launch here. 

 

That's it! Sure, you need to know the program, who you're selling it to, and the results you're going to get for people, but so often you forget these simple sales page boosters!

Scott at 21 lost everything he built and found himself in almost $750k of debt, searching for the next step he found how important human connection truly is and how we can use who we are, six specific traits to succeed in business, relationships and life. 

He currently works with Entrepreneurs that want to grow their business with more than luck, allowing them to generate a Sustainable Source of Qualified Leads through his company INFINITUS.

 

Entrepreneurs under $250k in revenue use mostly "luck" (referrals, networking, connections, proposals) to build their business, it's the #1 reason why businesses can't make it work, if you fix this problem you can go past $250k easily and start worrying on bigger problems. 

In this episode, Scott and I discuss:

  • how he went from $726k in debt to 7 figure business owner
  • #1 Reason that Entrepreneurs can't grow to 6 or 7 figures
  • why 99% of Entrepreneurs are losing out on 80% of their leads, leading to mediocre Lead Generation
  • his SSF Lead Generation Methodology 
  • understanding why one marketing funnel for business doesn't make sense
  • how to use the combination of Organic, Partner and Paid Traffic to Create Hockey Stick Growth

Feb 9, 2016

You need an opt-in {freebie} that is going to grow your list and get them engaged before you try to sell anything to them!

The best way to think about your freebie creation is to brainstorm all your ideal clients objections to buying this program/course.

Why won’t they buy?

Let me show you what I mean by this - because I’m not just talking about the typical “I can’t afford it” type of objections…I want you to get even more specific and intimate with their real objections to making this program work for them.

For example…

One of my first courses was called Corporate to Called…I knew that most of my target audience for this would still be working day jobs, so one of their biggest objections would be “I don’t have the time to build a business.”

I knew this was just an excuse that people make, because I built my business on the side of my corporate job…it’s about doing the most important things, not ALL the things. And I was really skilled at productivity and efficiency, so I created an optin called…

How to Build Your Business In 20 min/day — this was overcoming their objection that they didn’t have time to go through my program that I would later offer them.
