The combo meal of emails to start the week
Oct 23, 2023 4:12 pm
Hey there, ,
First things first, happy Monday :) I don't know about you, but sometimes the weekends here are so busy that I'm incredibly grateful when Monday shows up... my kids, not so much, but for me it's the moment I get to get it all back together :)
Today I'd like to offer you what I think of as the 'combo meal' of email: something to think on, something to do, a reminder, and an invitation, in that order.
First, the thing to think on:
You can be CONSISTENT and also IRREGULAR. You only *need* be consistent (not also regular) to succeed.
Last week I didn't send an email. I didn't write many posts. Really, I didn't do much more from my to-do list than straight show up and coach my clients - there were just too many other life things going on (all fun, btw, just a lot of them).
I think a lot of times when we have weeks where we do less, we decide that we are therefore inconsistent and that business will absolutely suffer as a result.
I'm here to tell you that this just simply isn't true.
I love the dictionary in moments like these, so this morning I hit up Merriam-Webster, and here's what I got:
Consistent: marked by harmony, regularity, or steady continuity; showing steady conformity, to character, profession, belief, or custom
Regular: constituted, conducted, scheduled, or done in conformity with established or prescribed usages, rules, or discipline; recurring, attending, or functioning at fixed, uniform, or normal intervals.
Whew. I don't know about you - but consistent (especially the harmony part??) seems a LOT more like I want my business to feel than regular (that part about prescribed, just no!).
So, today, consider - are you striving for consistent, or are you striving for regular? And which one do you ACTUALLY want for you, your people, your business? (because consistent seems a heck of a lot more flexible than regular, just saying...)
Second, something to do:
I was talking with a client on Friday and when I asked her how she was talking about what she was doing and inviting people to work with her she said 'I'm not.'
She's not the only one, and this happens in EVERY business - more than once, too.
And I'm going to remind you of this: People CANNOT buy what you are not talking about. If you don't say what you have, they DO NOT know. Once is NOT remotely enough.
So the thing to do today? TELL THE PEOPLE (yes, I'm a little yell-y about this this morning :)) what you have, and invite them to work with you. Please.
And then do that - in the same way, a different way, in the same words, in different words, in a new place, whatever - AGAIN on Tuesday, and AGAIN on Wednesday and on... again, please.
People can't be helped by you if they don't know how you help. Please tell them.
Third, the reminder:
If the thing in #2, telling people what you do over and over, feels like a LOT, I can help.
I have a simple way for you to make WAY more offers (maybe even 3+ a day!!) without doing WAY more work - honestly, it will be easier, not harder.
I'm teaching this process in a workshop on 11/1 (called the Simple Way to Make 3+ Offers a Day, because I'm super good at naming things, ha!), and then we're following up the workshop with 15 days of implementing and support via email.
COME, JOIN US.
The whole thing costs $23, and it's worth 100x that, because when people know what you do, they buy from you. It really IS that simple.
Lastly, the invitation:
The next round of small group coaching begins the week of 11/6 and there is one more spot open.
The last person who joined said '$150 a week, to get what I need, work with people I know I'll learn from, AND grow? Yes, I AM worth that, and so is my business.'
[and then she added that her friends and family would also be grateful, because she'd have somewhere besides them to bring all her questions/worries/doubts and actually be moving her business forward at the same time - 5 days later this still makes me smile]
YOU and your business are also worth investing $150 a week in YOU and your growth.
To join us, hit reply --- you can say 'I'm in,' or 'I have questions...' and we'll move forward from there.
If you need more details about group coaching, you can find them here (and you can also book a time to chat about it there too... whatever is easier for YOU is good by me!)
Happy Monday :)
Warmly,
Sara
PS. Something else to say? A win to share? A comment, a complaint, a question, a wish? Hit reply - I'm a human, I answer email, and I'm here :)
