This Industry Standard Made Us Feel like Our Products Sucked

Today, we are getting a little nerdy with you guys. We are geeking out on some numbers and giving you the same slap on the face we got when it came to conversions of our peeps and making money. If all of this numbers stuff kind of freaks you out and makes you want break out in hives and throw your phone out the window, it’s okay. Take a deep breath. We are not going to turn you into a mathematician over the course of the next 45 minutes, and that’s fine. But if you feel like you need some help with that, we’ve got you covered. So don’t you stress about it.

We are going to be talking about the icky feelings we get about money, about disappointment in sales numbers, and about what that really means, especially for businesses like ours. We also dive into a bit of background on how we transitioned rather quickly from a client based business to a course based business in a matter of months. What that did along the way was teach us a lot of things about what we didn’t know about conversion rates and how many people you actually need on your list in order to make money. So if you find yourself in that same La La Land right now, put your socks on and get into this episode!

Using Your Past to Shape Your Future: How to Persevere Through Tough Times

For today’s episode, maybe have a glass of wine while you’re listening to it. Kick back in your PJ’s, just chill, and be with us for a second. We are getting super real today. Not that we are any less real any other day, but we are taking it way back today.

We hear so often that lives on Instagram look fancier than they are, and that Facebook portrays a certain façade. However, we are also really are in tune with being authentic for you guys and portraying our real selves as much as we can. We show our real selves as we are now and I think sometimes we forget where people have come from and what they have gone through in order to get to be where they are today.

Dealing With Imposter Syndrome Using Affirmations

Today on the podcast, we are getting a little “woo-woo”. We’re connecting to the universe, checking in with ourselves, and getting right into talking about affirmations today and specifically how affirmations can be integrated as part of your everyday routines. We show you just how simple and easy it is, as well as the impacts that they have had on us personally as business owners in regards to growth, stats, and all the good feelings.

 

We break down how we use them and how we integrate them into our routines so you can start to do it too. Specifically, we identify how affirmations can start to kind of tap in and shift and change that icky imposter syndrome that a lot of us, especially as creatives, deal with. There are some days you just wake up and you don’t feel like you deserve what you have been given in this world or you feel like you are not as good as the way other people treat you. That’s icky and you don’t deserve to feel that way, ever. So we are going to help do the mindset work that is going to help you to create a daily routine, to help you have a better mindset and a better outlook on your business.

Getting Paid To Be Creative is a Myth

Getting paid to be creative is a myth. Lately, we’ve heard this phrase being tossed around a lot. Heck, we’ve even used this exact phrase to describe our journey ourselves. But the phrase isn’t really accurate. 
 
We aren’t getting paid to be creative. We’re getting paid because we are intellectual businesswomen. We take our business seriously and structure it to pay us. We are constantly strategizing new ways to bring in income and grow our business. We test new ways to market, make new sales processes, and offer new things in new ways. And we do it over and over again. So if you want to hear us bust the myth, then this episode is definitely for you!
