Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

In episode 101 of The #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm sharing with you the four tools I used to scale my business to seven figures. Now listen: I'm not going to lie to you and pretend that any of these tools are life-changing "hacks" that will completely change your business overnight. There's no one right thing that will magically get you to seven figures. I built up my business over several years with dedication and consistency. But I firmly believe that if you use and implement these tools over time, you'll see powerful results in your business too. The tools I discuss include: Defining my unique coaching method Being curious about my audience Making my business an expression of myself Really listening to my audience For me, building a seven-figure business wasn't about numbers or finding the "right" strategy. It was about making connections with people and relating to people on a human level. I connect to my clients by being my true self. I encourage you not to worry about finding the perfect "hack" that will make your business succeed. Instead, focus more on genuine connection. And finally, as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!

In this episode of the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm answering one of the biggest questions my clients ask me: "How do I share my personality online while still establishing myself as an authority?" The good news is that you DON'T have to hide any part of yourself for your business to succeed! In this episode, I'm giving you practical steps you can use to strategically (not randomly!) insert your personality into your brand and business in a way that attracts high-paying dream clients. All while still establishing your authority! Points we'll discuss include: What "professional" really means Examples of personality-driven and authority-establishing content How to create, not duplicate Remember that you are a PERSONAL brand. People want to buy from people, not robots! So don't be afraid to show your personality online. It doesn't hurt your authority or make you less professional. I promise that people will want to invest in the REAL you! Be sure to listen to episode 100 for all the details! Finally, as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!

This episode of The #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast is a bit different. My husband, Mike Bayen, is joining me to talk about why we chose to separate and how that transformed our marriage. Separating was one of the scariest and hardest things I've ever done, but we can both say that we're so thankful we did it. Join the Get More Clients Free Challenge starting on 4/26: https://meganyelaney.com/challenge/ In the episode, we talk about: The background of our relationship Why we decided to separate How we came back together and what life is like now It feels kind of vulnerable to share this, but I know that so many people are going through the same thing. We want people to know that separation does NOT have to mean the end of your relationship. We separated because we wanted to grow and heal separately, and that's exactly what we did. Sometimes it's the healthiest thing you can do for your relationship. If you're going through something similar now, we encourage you to seek out whatever path is healthiest for you.

This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I am sharing my perspective and opinion as to why you need to have your own unique method for business. I also want to dive into why it's so important that you don't follow everyone else's path and do what everyone else is doing. The topics I will be discussing into include: The coaching industry is in the middle of a big shift and awakening. What actually makes a leader (psst … it's not a big following). Some of the emerging leaders that I've seen in the industry. If you want to become a leader in your industry, then I encourage you to take a look at the points we covered today. Start journaling and take action. Everything you do won't necessarily be reflected in your work right away, it does take time. We have to stop rushing everything, but we have to start. Be sure to tune in to episode 74 and listen in to hear more about your unique method for business and why it's important! As always, stay safe, stay healthy and stay #PrettyAwkward!

Why do you want more clients? Everyone's answer will be slightly different, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say A LOT of you will resonate with this… --->To build long-lasting sustainable WEALTH so you can have FREEDOM to live life on your terms, give back the way you want, and support causes & missions you believe in. I get GOOSEBUMPS reading that. Is that WORTH putting in the work? If it's not, then I urge you to re-think your WHY. WHY are you doing this? WHY are you a coach? WHY do you want to sign soulmate (not just any) clients? WHY do you want to build wealth? Now while I don't like taking the "fearful" approach when trying to get a point across, sometimes it's necessary to really make a point ;) So let's look at the top 3 crucial MISTAKES online coaches make when trying to get clients so you can avoid them. Not having a strategy or launch plan Sales call mistakes -> only speaking to the stuff they get, not the transformation they will experience Trying to do it all alone Until I implemented these points above, my dream to build an insanely profitable and impactful online biz (that truly represented ME as a human) just stayed in my head. And that doesn't help ANYONE, now does it?! P.S. If you jump in early and reserve your spot for Client Attraction Academy before Sunday, October 18th at 11:59PM EST the end of the day you'll not only get all the epic bonuses but also an exclusive Copywriting bonus from my personal copywriter, Lauren Zink, called Copy Spells (worth over $1000!) P.P.S. Check out the recap of the entire challenge here if you missed any of the days!

SALES IS BEAUTIFUL. Sales is TRANSFORMATIVE. Sales literally equals you changing lives. IF you're a rockstar coach (which you are), and deliver on what you promise (which you will). Sales does NOT have to make you feel like you're a 1980's car salesman. If you've truly followed along and applied what we mapped out over these past few days, that's clear as day, as you're probably already having great conversations with potential soulmate clients. When we approach our sales conversations and sales calls from a "client transformation" perspective vs "I have to make money or make this sale" perspective, guess what? WE CLOSE MORE SALES & SIGN MORE CLIENTS:) Funny how that works, huh? So in today's live I'm going to break down the sales process I teach in depth in my Client Attraction Academy program, AND give you some goodies to have at the ready for your next sales call that will be THE DIFFERENCE maker for… SIGNING the client and TRULY communicating the value of your program (and why it's THE ONE) for them Oh and… Feeling confident AF and so secure in the fact that you truly are on this call to listen, make them feel heard and cared for (THE secret), and fall in love with sales. To cut it short---this process makes you feel REALLY GOOD when selling. It makes the CUSTOMER feel really good. A whole lotta goodness :) P.S. Here are the Day 4 worksheets to use for the challenge to take notes/keep track of your homework.

Why is identifying your unique coaching method + signature standout SOO crucial when writing content? Because THIS is how your ideal client will truly GET EXCITED about your coaching style. We want to make it crystal clear what they're going to feel like when inside your coaching container. The worst thing that could happen is that you market your coaching purely to "get them in," and then your actual coaching style is completely different. Sounds obvious, but I've unfortunately seen this done A LOT. And ZERO shame if you have found yourself doing this. I, myself, have fallen prey to this when I started my business online. I just copied what other successful coaches were doing. You see success, you follow success, right? Well, if you're emulating something that is completely opposite from how you actually coach and what you're confident in, you MIGHT get them in the door, but you won't keep them, re-sign them or help them truly transform. In today's live training I'm going to break down a few of my posts that REALLY resonated with my audience and resulted in paying clients. I'll walk you step by step through the thought process behind the post, and WHY (the psychology) this specifically resonated with my ideal client and resulted in sales. Here is the Day 3 worksheets to use for the challenge to take notes/keep track of your homework.

Let's dive in shall we Cuz today is where it gets REAL JUICY Part 1: Signature Standout (This is where the FUN begins) Now that you're more clear on which type of coach you generally fall into and who you want to help, we want to start to develop your signature standout. This will be a combination of who you are as a person/coach and how that resonates with a 100% soulmate client. The truth of it is, if you're doing high level, high touch coaching, you're going to be spending a ton of time with your clients. And if you're spending a ton of time with ANYONE, you want to like them right? Heck, I even will venture to say you want to LOVE them. THAT'S the difference between not identifying your unique coaching method and signature standout and, well, identifying it --->Without it=clients --->WITH it=SOULMATE clients who you're obsessed with (who pay you more, re-sign AND refer you out). PART 2: MARKET RESEARCH Market Research is tried and true, and if you don't do it, you are going to be sorely disappointed. In fact, DOING it can even help you attract new clients (It happens almost every time I have a client do this). 99% of the time, we really connect with our ideal soulmate client, because they are experiencing something similar to what we have in one way or another. We have experienced a transformation that was so, well, for lack of a better word, TRANSFORMATIVE (LOL), that we created our purpose and an entire coaching business around. THAT'S HUGE. We have a deep connection to helping people who've been through what we have. BUT. A BIG MISTAKE we can make is ASSUMING we know exactly how they're feeling at this very moment. Once you've made a transformation, it's REALLY hard to truly go back to how you felt 100%. You're going to learn how to share your story authentically in a powerful post tomorrow, but it will be even MORE powerful if you take the steps in today's challenge FIRST. Today, I'll show you how to figure out what your ideal soulmate client truly wants (and how they say it), which will help you communicate those answers INTO your posts effectively so they can't help but want to work with you. Here are the worksheets to use for the entire challenge to take notes/keep track of your homework.

I'm sure you've heard the term "ideal client." And while I have myself taught and embraced that term, in this training we're taking this to a whole new level. I don't want you to attract "ideal clients." I want you to attract "soulmate ideal clients." --->Soulmate Ideal Clients That you LOVE working with Who are coachable (in the WAY you coach) Who become lifelong friends (re-signing and referring you like crazy) That make you wake up to work and get excited for a day of calls. That energize you even when they're struggling Sounds like a dream, right? It doesn't have to be a dream! :) In fact, it's my reality every single day. And it's your turn to have it too.

This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm walking you through my six-step sales process that is super simple. I also love this process because it makes you feel human and it's not robotic in any aspect. The six-step process I will be diving into involves the following: Set the agenda, and incorporate small talk. Ask permission to invite at the end and evaluate. Ask them about their strengths and obstacles. Provide a prescription, create accountability, and invite. This system helped me make roughly 1.5 million in sales in under 2 years, it works. This is the template through everything and helps you write content that cares about the human at the end of the day. That's what's missing from a lot of sales, the human element of listening to people. So go be a human! Be sure to tune in to episode 68 and listen in to hear more about my six-step sales process to super simple selling like a human! As always, stay safe, stay healthy and stay #PrettyAwkward!

Some topics I will be diving into include: The first tip is to stay the course and build a loyal community that trusts you. This takes time. Stop saying "When I get there," that term is so damaging and dangerous. When will you reach there? What if you are already there. Remember that the more impact you make, the more money you make. Get super clear on your unique coaching method and signature stand out so you never waiver when you see another coach in your industry having success differently. Have fun, don't take business too seriously. Connect to your why, and make sure you remind yourself why you began your business. It won't be rainbows and butterflies every day, but look forward to one thing every day and enjoy the journey.

This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm chatting with Lauren Taylar, an SEO expert. We are diving into the importance of having a searchable business, meaning a blog, youtube, or a podcast. We are also debunking a lot of SEO myths and you will realize that SEO is not as complicated or overwhelming as you think! Some topics Lauren and I will be dividing into include: A lot of entrepreneurs think a blog post has to be completely different from social media, but you can take that existing content and repurpose it into a blog post. Debunking the myth that you need WordPress and the Yoast plug-in to rank high in Google. Using long-tailed keywords versus short 1-2 words can make a total difference in terms of visibility. Instagram and Facebook are borrowed platforms. If they go down, and you've built your entire business around them, you're screwed.

This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm chatting with Tatiana O'Hara, she is an agency and team operations coach. We are diving into how essential it is as an entrepreneur to have systems in place for structure and sustainability, and how you can still have a game plan but also stay in your creative zone of genius. Some topics Tatiana and I will be diving into include: Why there is freedom in having structure within your business. If you treat your business like a hobby, that's what it'll be. It's essential to have intent when you bring on new hires to your team. When it comes to pay raises within your team, always position the pay raise as an offer with an open conversation. To scale and grow any business, you need to treat it as such. By embodying a CEO mindset, hiring team members on board with intent and purpose, while having a clear vision and path to your goal, the sky's the limit!

This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm chatting with V.P. Wright, she is a business coach who helps millennial creatives embrace their inner CEO and build a sustainable online business. She is also the founder of the Creative Arts Corner. We are diving into what a sustainable business looks like, why it is so crucial to your success, and why building a community-driven business is one of the most important things you can do as an entrepreneur. Some topics V and I will be diving into include: Why sustainability in business, especially online, is key. If you are seeking sustainability, you should offer and expand payment plans up to 18 - 24 months. When it comes to defaulting payments, have a contract and clear conditions in place. If you want to establish an audience of people who trust and support you, having a community-driven business is essential. The key to any successful business lies in sustainability, without a consistent income or strong foundation, most businesses won't survive past the five-year mark. You can implement sustainability in your business in so many ways - from payment plans, community groups, and more.

This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm chatting with Emily Dorrien Flynn - a very good friend of mine and an AMAZING holistic health coach - about how experiencing challenges can actually help with finding your purpose and achieving your long-term goals. Although we often think of challenges as roadblocks to success, they can be key components to finding your purpose in life! Some topics Emily and I will be diving into include: Emily's journey to working as a holistic health coach and why she's now grateful for her struggles with fibromyalgia and chronic pain Why you should start seeing obstacles as opportunities and stop focusing SO much on a set monetary goal for your biz. Questions to help you learn from every experience and the importance of not trying to do EVERYTHING on your own. I respect the hell out of Emily for not only all she has been through but also for all of the wisdom, knowledge and guidance she has to share. So if you're going through a hard time or if you face an obstacle in the near future, I hope you remember the advice Emily gives in this episode about emerging from challenges stronger, smarter and more intentional about living out of your life's purpose. Be sure to tune in to episode 52 to hear Emily's empowering personal stories and to learn how you can also start viewing obstacles as opportunities. Following her passion and growing from every hardship has done wonders for Emily's biz, as well as my own...so I can't wait to hear the effects this mindset has on yours!
