If you’re a business owner, course creator, service provider, or coach who has been in business for at least a couple of years, you’ve probably realised that striking a balance between making great money and working hours that suit you can be a bit of a juggling act.

But it is possible!

I like to work mornings and take the afternoons & evenings off and I like going to the movies on Thursdays when everyone else is at work or at school, sitting in Gold Class in the dark for a couple of hours while people bring me snacks 😉 🍿 - it’s the best!

So a few years ago I took a bit of time to asses my business structure and strategy, and tweak it so that I could help more people and make more money while working less hours.

It’s been a game changer for me! I love what I do and I’m passionate about helping other people, but I don’t want to serve everyone else 24/7 and put myself last on my priority list!

I like having free time to sleep in, take a long walk every day, read my books, do my puzzles, watch my shows, pursue other fun projects - I also do a little extras acting here and there on commercials, tv shows and movies! I also want time to dive deep into self care, and when I do that, when I take that time for me, I show up better for everyone in my business and my life, and I have a feeling if you free up some time to take care of yourself, you’ll show up better for everyone else too!

So today we’re going to take a little step in that direction and I’ll show you how I streamline my work as a business owner in a way that boosts my sales, and gives my clients a high quality experience without me needing to work full time hours.

As small business owners, whether we are content creators, service providers, or coaches we often shy away from actively selling. I don’t want to be pushy, what if they don’t like it, I’m not natural sales person, I don’t know enough about my topic yet, rejection feels personal - any of these sound familiar?

I’m too busy, I don’t know what to sell, how to price it, or how to get it in front of people who want to buy it.

It’s really interesting how so many of us have the same blocks, and yet when I speak to my entrepreneurial buddies who are doing really well, they all say the same thing - they had those fears and blocks too, but they still took action.

Business for me is really about 2 things - delivering a high quality experience for my customers, and staying on top of my mindset. Actually mindset is really my first focus these days, because before I had that in place I would procrastinate, lose focus, and miss out on opportunities and sales.

After 12+ years in the online business world, I know what to include in an offer that makes it an easy yes for buyers, and I know how to set up my systems so that those offers sell themselves. That takes so much pressure off me, I can keep myself in a positive mindset and focus on the parts of the business I love, which for me is creating content that feels like I’m documenting my life and chatting with people.

Today I’m going to share with you my must haves for creating an offer that people really want to buy, and how I set my systems up to do the selling for me!
