The Power of Pause & How to Leverage it to Accelerate Your Online Business
Episode 863: Show Notes
Today we are digging into what it really takes to reinvigorate yourself. When I am feeling creative resistance, I have a tendency to try and push through – creating an unnecessary environment of stress. When you really slow down, you have the opportunity to gain a new perspective. I like to teach you through my own experiences so I wanted to put myself in my client's shoes. At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, I found that my clients were really resistant to showing up online and I started questioning why. I realized that the resistance largely stemmed from the fear that my clients once understood social media and now no longer do!

How Slowing Down Will Ultimately Help You Speed Up
I set out on a mission to uncover what’s working today and what gets consistent results. I spent months paying attention to the people who nobody knew about and are now super successful online. I wanted to pay attention to their strategies and then implement them myself to be able to teach them to my clients. This is just one example of slowing down to speed up. Many times, I have started many other businesses as experiments to help me understand different aspects of online business that I didn’t before. So I did that now! I started a new TikTok account to figure out how to grow my audience on TikTok and started building the foundation for becoming a traditional influencer. I wanted to understand what it felt like to start online at the starting line. I want to share what I’ve learned from starting at the beginning all over again.
Remember to Find Joy in Your Business
Throughout this experiment, I really noticed how important consistency is for momentum! I want you to create habits that keep you showing up online consistently in the way that you want to show up. The early tangible wins in your online business are imperative to your motivation so it’s so important to focus on getting that first sale. I also realized how much fun business can be. When you have fun, sometimes the results matter less. The excitement and joy are wins in themselves and I want to help you be more joyful and stay excited about your business. Community is so helpful and I found myself looking for a community for my new business and when I joined, I realized that I had no idea where to start and I could see that my client’s must often feel the same way! A concrete direction on where to start can really help my clients in the Co-Op and that’s why I decided to build the Accelerator!
How Balance Will Make Your Business Sustainable
I finally sat down and mapped out the Accelerator and as you’re listening to this, it exists already inside the Co-Op and it’s exactly where I want you to start! It gives you so much insight into what business looks like while helping you keep your eye on the prize. Inside the Accelerator, I’m helping people create a balanced offer ecosystem that all work together, speak to the same clients, and create a synergy in your business so that you have long-term cash flow from that business. My goal is to help you understand what you are and aren’t willing to do to get the results that you are looking for! Ultimately, my mission in life and business is to see more of you wealthy and financially free and first, you need to be financially stable. I don’t want your business to be one bad day away from crumbling. And I also want you to be able to prioritize what matters most to you throughout this process!
This framework is what has helped me scale my business and when things feel rocky, these principles are the things that I come back to in order to re-stabilize myself and my business. I am so happy that this is in the Co-Op because I want you to be able to imagine what it feels like to stop second-guessing yourself and to know exactly what comes next. This is the first time I have shared these secrets with my larger clientele, not just my private coaching clients and I cannot wait to see you succeed using these steps! I know that when you have access to the Accelerator, it is going to motivate you while keeping you joyful and excited. This is your opportunity to be walked through starting from the beginning in a structured, tangible way. I experimented for you so that you don’t have to and can just focus on your success! Let this be your invitation to join us in the Co-Op and try the Accelerator. I cannot wait to see what you do next!
