EP 35 - Lead from a place of service to cultivate raving brand fans
We often hear how important it is to serve our audiences well and that we must make sure that we are consistently adding value to their lives. But what does that really mean?
Well, it comes down to being a servant-hearted leader and showing your community that you truly care about them.

So, Rockstar, listen in if you're ready to learn how to lead from a place of service and tap into that magnetic nurturing energy so that you can begin to cultivate raving brand fans!

EP 34 - Overcoming fear so you can manifest like a boss with Lindsay Hanover
Is fear keeping you stuck? If so, it's time to change that, Rockstar.
The only thing standing between you and the life and/or biz that you want are your fear-based limiting beliefs. If you change your thoughts and beliefs you can manifest the things that you want into your life. It's really that simple.
Now, that's not to say that you don't have to put in the hard work that it takes to reach your goals. But all of the hard work in the world won't allow you to move forward if deep down you're carrying beliefs like, "I'm not good enough."
That's why today, I'm bringing Manifestation Life Coach Lindsay Hanover on the show to help you quiet your inner critic and crush the limiting beliefs and fears that are keeping you stuck.
Listen in to learn how you can begin to reframe your limiting beliefs, channel your inner confidence, and finally start fearlessly building the legacy that you've been dreaming of.

EP 30 - 5 Essentials Your Need to Build a Brand Full of Raving Fans
What distinguishes a raving brand fan from a follower on social media?
Your raving brand fans are the people who consistently interact with your brand, likely on multiple platforms. They want and need what you have to offer, so much so that they buy from you, and sing your praises to their friends time and time again.
The truth is that you can have loads of followers and still not gain traction in your business. That is if your followers aren't feeling connected to your overall brand, message, or offer.
So, if you're ready to start turning your followers into raving brand fans, grab your notebook and listen in!

EP 22 - DM Strategy: The do's and don'ts
Raise your hand if you've ever gotten a sales-related DM that felt slimy.
My guess is that many of you have your hands raised high. And I bet that you did not purchase as a result of this cold message.
So, what makes cold salesy DMs feel so off-putting? and Why don't they convert?
Because a RELATIONSHIP has not yet been established.
You see, when you pitch without getting to know someone or even engaging with them on social media you're making them feel like you see them as just another dollar in your bank account. And that doesn't compel them to buy from you.
Now, the answer is not to throw DMs out of your sales strategy completely because You absolutely can build solid relationships with your prospects via DM. In today's episode, I'm covering the dos and don'ts of using DMs as a part of your sales strategy.
Listen in to learn about how you can use DMs to build relationships and create warm leads that convert!
