Ep 682023 Humbled Me
E2023 did not go as planned– to a comical degree.To be honest, I’m still processing it. I’d love to say that I have some big, grand lesson to share, but I’m not sure I’m at the end of this chapter yet (though I sense I am). I don’t mean to be cryptic, and I promise to share more details, but the shift I have experienced is hard to describe. It feels like my identity has changed at a deep level affecting every area of my life in ways I never expected.I spent 2023 experimenting. I knocked things down. I made a mess. I canceled what was supposed to be our biggest launch ever right in the middle of it. I launched an e-commerce site. As I’ve said many times, this year I was the Goldilocks of business models.It was humbling. Oof. In the best possible way. And not just in business.

Ep 64Ep 64 Best of YFB: Anti Planning
EGoal setting is a hot topic this time of year! I love planning and it has been a part of my business for the last 10 years. But traditional planning methods frustrate me. There is a lot I hate about the goal setting we're "supposed" to do in our businesses.Setting giant, wild (and sometimes unrealistic) goals is an exciting exercise for our brains. I call these Unicorn Goals; I love visualizing what it looks like to smash these insane goals. However, I use Unicorn Goals to fuel my creativity and excitement about my business. They are not set-in-stone markers of my success. Many business owners and entrepreneurs make the mistake of thinking their Unicorn Goals are the same as their realistic goals. It's important to have both magical and realistic goals as you plan out the next year of your business.Dive into this episode where I share why traditional planning doesn't work for me (and why it might not be working for you!), as well as my Anti-Planning strategy that you can use for your business going into 2022! In today's episode, we're specifically covering:Why I dislike traditional planning and goal settingThe problem with setting a goal without making a planToxic positivity in planningThe difference between realistic goals and unicorn goalsThe breakdown of where your revenue is going to come fromHow to calculate your revenue numbersHow to hit your targetsWhy you need to refine your marketing and sales processConnect with Courtney Chaal:Instagram: @courtneychaalWebsite: https://courtneychaal.comFacebook group: Get More Clients ClubEmail: [email protected]

Ep 59Ep 59 Best of YFB: Strategies for Entrepreneurs with ADHD
EOn today's episode I dive deep into all of the struggles, strengths, and strategies that I have found to be most important on my journey to understanding ADHD. I am passionate about productivity because it is something I have struggled with and am still mastering today. A while ago, I realized that things that were more challenging for me were not so difficult for others. I started to use the term “rebel productivity” to explain my version of productivity and to share strategies that worked for me. As it turns out, rebel productivity is just harnessing the magic of ADHD. The coolest part about the tips I share in this episode? They work extremely well for people with ADHD, and they work extremely well for neurotypical people too. So whether you have ADHD or not, you're going to want to tune into this one!Don't forget we are hosting a FREE VIP Out of Office Training on December 1st.

EDo you know what your ideal life looks like? And no, I am not talking about the "ideal life" you see on Instagram. I am talking about what you truly want your life to look like.

Those are all great goals to have, but only if you really want them! Here's what no one tells you: It's okay to not make millions! It's okay to not want to leave a legacy. It's okay to want full freedom.Take the time to define your core values as a human being and accept that you can and will have different goals from those around you. In this episode, I share what motivates me, and hopefully, you will begin thinking about what motivates you!

Ep 55Ep 55 Best of YFB: Time Management for Rebels
EWelcome to The Best of Yay for Business Podcast, where we are recapping some of the most popular episodes ever that you HAVE to listen to!! For a long time, I have been obsessed with the concept of time management and understanding how people produce their best results. I believe that productivity is not a rigid formula and that there are different ways to manage your time. Unlike what many experts say, time management does not have to be color-coded calendars, pristine planners, or perfect organization. It also does not have to be waking up at 5 AM each morning solely to be up earlier than others. Time management should be working with your schedule in a way that leaves room for self-care and self-compassion. Of course, some tasks are non-negotiable. However, if you stray from the exact time blocking you gave yourself for the day, things will not crumble around you, I promise! I will tell you when to give yourself more time when to give yourself less time, and how playing with your time management strategies will benefit you and your business. In today's episode, we're specifically coveringAction-oriented time managementUsing your calendar as a tool and not as the dictator of your dayTrying different methods to find what works for you in your current phaseKnowing your work prioritiesGiving yourself time for your goalsToday we talk about Time Management, so are you ready to create a schedule that allows you to take two weeks off from your business and set yourself up for success?If you are ready, sign up to join us for our FREE VIP Out Of Office Training on November 17th to learn how to schedule your vacation guilt-free.

Ep 54Ep 54 Best of YFB: Schedule Smackdown for Service Providers
EWelcome to The Best of Yay for Business Podcast, where we are recapping some of the most popular episodes ever that you HAVE to listen to! This episode is for service providers who are just beginning their career, are fully booked with client work, or feel overwhelmed by the amount on their plate each day. The problem for all of you is the same: you are not managing your schedule like a professional. There is a mindset for many beginning (and veteran) business owners claiming to make more money; we have to work longer and harder. This is far from the truth! Filling your calendar with "billable hours" from your clients will not allow your business to grow to the level of freedom you want. In this episode, I share two huge mistakes CEOs make with their calendars, my process for streamlining your business, and an ideal weekly calendar. You need to hear this if you want to advance to the next level, make more money, and have more legitimate freedom in your life. Are you ready to make this shift and create a schedule that allows you to take two weeks off from your business and set yourself up for success?If you are ready, sign up to join us for our FREE VIP Out Of Office Training on November 17th to learn how to schedule your vacation guilt-free.

Ep 51Ep 51: Getting Your Clients Massive Results with Chelsey Dixon
EI am so excited to welcome Chelsey to the Yay for Business podcast! She is an all-star coach within our 12-month program, Yay for 100K. And on today's episode we are discussing tough love for both coaches and clients. Here at Courtney Chaal HQ, we want our clients to see tangible results, and you should want that for your clients too! In this episode we're breaking down how you can help your clients gain success and Chelsey's real-life coaching process for engaging clients who may have lost their way in your program. The client and coach relationship is a two-way street. However, both clients and coaches can lose sight of this truth. A client has the responsibility to show up and put the work in. A coach has just as much, if not more, responsibility to ask the questions that will guide their client to understanding what is crucial to work on and why they need to work on it. Clients often ask their coaches the wrong questions. But how do we fix that? Today, Chelsey and I discuss how we uncover the real obstacles our clients have by getting to the root of why there is a problem in the first place. In today's episode, we're specifically covering:Triggering your clients in a productive wayGoing deeper with your coaching to help your clients get real resultsAdvice versus coachingChelsey's process for re-engaging clientsExamples of coaching within Yay for 100KHow to give a f**k about your clientsLinks to Courtney’s The Secret to Freedom episodes:Ep 50: Part 3 of 4: Energy ManagementEp 49: Part 2 of 4: Prison Vs.

Ep 50Ep 50: Energy Management
EIt's time to talk science on the Yay For Business Podcast. Today I am discussing one of my favorite topics that I have researched quite a bit: energy management. We always hear about how to manage our time and squeeze more hours into the working day, but it turns out, that is not what we should concentrate on. Consider this episode your entrepreneurial intervention for pivoting your focus from time management to energy management. Contrary to what so many entrepreneurs say, you don't need to find more time; you need to maximize the time you have by using your energy efficiently. Energy is a vital resource for business and life. By the end of today's episode, you will have a better understanding of where your energy comes from and how you can use that energy to benefit your business. I am excited to share both my personal experiences and scientific research about why our bodies need to feel both stress and rest. By tuning into our energy cycles, we can prepare ourselves for stressful work and restful vacation times. In today's episode, we're specifically coveringWhere energy comes from at the atomic levelThe importance of paying attention to your energyFight or flight vs. rest and repairThe limitations of working too muchHow energy works in a cycleUsing energy to build a business that grows without youThis episode is part 3 of 4 in our Secret to Freedom series.

Ep 49Ep 49: Secret to Freedom Part 2/4 - Prison vs. Machine
EAre you stuck in your own business prison? You claim that working for yourself has given you freedom, but when you look at your day-to-day life, you are at the mercy of your own work. In today's episode, it's time for some tough love as I talk about the realities of freedom in entrepreneurship. If you feel like your business would crash and burn without you present, then you're stuck in a business prison. But good news: It doesn't have to be this way! Now is the time to start constructing your business machine and finally find that freedom that you've been craving. I hear entrepreneurs give excuses all the time about why they can't streamline their businesses. Here is your truth bomb: If you personally have to do every little thing to keep your business going and money flowing, you would be better off working a 9-5 job. I know that seems harsh, but don't panic! I am fired up and excited to dispel the myth that says you can't step away from your business by sharing examples of how you can start creating your own business machine that operates without you. In today's episode, we're specifically covering:Running a business that runs without youThe small and tangible steps you can take towards taking breaks, vacations, and leaves in your businessHow to automate your business even when the brand is YOUThe difference between running a business and working for yourselfHow to work towards true freedom in your businessThis episode is part 2 of 4 in our Secret to Freedom series. We are so looking forward to offering even more information, action, and support to help you make your freedom dreams come true.

Ep 48Ep 48: Secret to Freedom Part 1/4 - Uplevel Your Business to Take Time Off with Alison Boons
ETake a break - you deserve it! But first, listen to this episode of the Yay for Business podcast because today I had the pleasure of discussing how and when to take time off with our very own Alison Boons. Alison is our operations manager here at Courtney Chaal HQ.Taking a holiday or a necessary leave of absence may seem overwhelming and impossible. If you just started your business, you don't have enough people to keep things running smoothly and you know your clients would freak out if you took time off! I am here to insist that taking a break is not only wonderful and relaxing but also necessary to keep your business alive and well in the long run. With 15 years of experience in business operations, Alison has worked with many different business models that all needed the same thing: help to streamline, so life and work get easier. In this episode, we cover the basics and beyond of what you need in place to prepare for time off from your business. Whether you are shutting down the entire team for a forced vacation (and yes, it may be necessary to force your team to take a break!) or you are taking parental leave, fully preparing for a break in your business will give you freedom when you want it and peace of mind if an emergency ever arises. This episode is for solopreneurs, small business entrepreneurs, and CEOs of full-blown companies.In today's episode, we're specifically covering:How to sustain and grow your business at any level when you need to take time offHow to create a business plan to prepare for vacationHow to specifically prepare your 3 points of business for holiday and leaveMarketingSalesDeliveryHow to ease in and out of vacation mode to help you and your business thriveThis episode is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to taking time off.

Ep 47Ep 46: Overcoming Objections
EToday's episode is all about overcoming objections. An objection is a reason someone gives for not enrolling, signing up, or buying your product or service. Objections may seem negative but there are ways we can address them that help us connect better with people and even make sales. In today's episode, I am discussing the psychology behind why people make decisions, giving you my golden rules for approaching sales and sharing real-world examples to help you overcome those "no's." This episode will give you confidence to deal with objections and prepare you to overcome them from day one. We often take objections personally or see them as a failure in our business. Here's the good news: Objections do not equal failure. The better news? I have lots of tips, guidelines, and examples that will help you easily and comfortably address these objections and even use them to help you! As soon as you focus less on the money and less on yourself, you will be able to approach your sales from a place of helping others. Once you are there, you can tackle every "I'm not ready" or "This won't work" in a way that helps your potential client and helps you too! In today's episode, we're specifically covering:How to make a sale without convincing, shaming, or desperationHow to continue genuine service beyond objectionsMy top rules for approaching sales:Always approach sales from a place of serviceAlways approach sales from a place of detachmentSpecific objections we discuss"I'm not ready.""I can't afford it.""I don't have the time.""I need to do ____ before I start.""I need 1:1 coaching instead of a program.""I'm in another program, so I can't do this now.""This won't work for me in my situation."Resources Mentioned:Ep 26: Money MindsetEp 27: Time Management for RebelsEp 28: Hire Your First VA (Plus 25 Tasks to Give Them!)Ep 29: Upgrade Your Services for "Premium PricingConnect with Courtney Chaal:Instagram: @courtneychaalWebsite: https://courtneychaal.comFacebook group: Get More Clients Club
Ep 45Ep 45: Tangible Language
EHow can you define tangible benefits for your potential clients as a person who does not sell tangible results? So often, success is measured by client results. This becomes a challenge for those of us who may not provide tangible results to clients, such as coaches. I had the fantastic opportunity to talk about this very problem with an amazing mindset coach and Yay for 100K member, Kayla. We dive deep into her goals for her clients in order to get clear on her tangible benefits. While it may seem better to use vague and general statements in order to attract more clients, the opposite is actually true. Kayla and I discuss why it is better to niche down the explanation of your services and how that will attract clients who need and want exactly what you have to offer. Your goal is to help your clients in a specific way. Don’t be afraid to get specific on your explanation so that people will know right away how they will benefit from your service. Let’s be real, this process of niching down and getting specific with your language can be hard! Lucky for you, this episode will help you get really clear on what you offer and how you can best word it. Just like Kayla, you too can join us and Apply for Yay for 100K!

Ep 44Ep 44: Sales Page Copy 101
EWelcome back to the Yay for Business Podcast! Today we are going back to my roots: Writing great sales pages. Consider this episode your sales page copy 101. This is a skill that every entrepreneur is going to want to keep in their back pocket.Writing copy for sales pages is what I was known for back when I first started in the online business space. It's the thing that put me on the map, which is ironic since I was resistant to being a sales page copywriter in the first place. I was scared because I felt a lot of pressure to write someone else's sales page - the thing that would determine whether or not they make any sales. I started by analyzing other people's sales pages and honing my craft. Eventually, I came up with a 14-part template for writing excellent sales pages that are highly effective for generating tangible results.This month, every episode of the Yay for Business Podcast is all about copywriting. This is all in lead up to our workshop: "Become a World Class Copywriter for Your Business." I highly encourage you to apply and join us inside of Yay for 100K so that you can get access to this workshop which is all about building the foundation you need to become a world class copywriter. It's one thing to have the templates and understand the mechanics of a copy (which you'll also get in Yay for 100K!), but it's quite another thing to learn the psychology behind copywriting. This workshop will take things a step further and train you to become the best copywriter you can be. To join the workshop, go to www.courtneychaal.com/apply. Enroll this month so that you can join the copywriting workshop on September 8th!

Ep 43Ep 43: 5 Best Copywriting Tips
EWelcome to a new episode of the Yay for Business Podcast! This month is going to be all about COPYWRITING. We're going to kick it off with my top 5 copywriting tips.If you didn't know, I started my business as a copywriter. I was a general website copywriter for a while before specializing in sales page copy for entrepreneurs, service providers, and course creators. Because of my copywriting background, our Yay for 100K clients get templates for all the copy that they need to write: sales emails, social posts, webinar landing pages, and so much more. But I believe it's imperative that every single business owner become their own world-class copywriter. Copywriting is not something that you can outsource in the beginning. It's important that you do what you need to do to learn this skill as well as you can.That's why on September 8th, I am hosting a copywriting workshop for our Yay for 100K clients. This workshop is the foundation you need to become a great copywriter. We'll dive into the psychology of sales and I will break down and demystify the copywriting process. So if you want to join me at the copywriting workshop on September 8th, head to www.courtneychaal.com/apply, and enroll this month.In today's episode, we're specifically covering:5 best copywriting tipsThe importance of using your target clients' languageMy motto: let it be shittyHow to become a great copywriter by using a templateInspiration and imitationWhy you should analyze other people's copyHow to make your language tangibleI hope that you enjoyed this episode.

Ep 42Ep 42: Read Your Clients' Minds
EWelcome to episode 42 of the Yay for Business Podcast. Today we will be talking about reading your clients' minds.When we think about reading our clients' minds, we want to know what keeps them up at night. What problems do they have? And how can we alleviate that stress? As entrepreneurs and service providers, it is our job to show our clients that we understand what they are going through and want to help them. Today we aren’t just talking about people's pain points. I want to talk about the human connection and why it's essential to understand what your target clients are thinking and feeling. This is one of the core lessons we teach our clients in our Yay for 100K program. Not understanding your clients can result in attracting the wrong clients and customers. Sure, you may have people loving your work, but they won't hire you. This can lead to you being confused and frustrated. By reading your clients' minds, you're going to be able to provide the service that helps people get the results they want! You're going to get paid, and everyone will be happy. In today's episode, we're specifically covering:The importance of reading your target clients' mindsThe Rainbow of SalesYour 3 MusesHow to engage with your audienceHow to connect with your audienceIf you are ready to work with us and turn your service into a program or refine your business, we would love to have you.

Ep 41Ep 41: Build Self Trust
EWelcome to episode 41 of the Yay for Business Podcast. In today's episode, we're going to talk about building self-trust. Usually, when people think about the word trust, they think about trusting others. Of course, trust is essential for any relationship in our lives, but we also must learn to trust ourselves.While chatting over DM with our Yay for 100K applicants, I've noticed a trend. People keep saying, "I need accountability. I've taken a lot of courses in the past, and I didn't finish them. So I'm afraid that I'm going to do that again.” Or they say, “I hired a coach, and it didn't work out. So now I'm nervous to hire another business coach."This is a form of self-punishment. In essence, you're punishing yourself for the decision you made in the past to enroll in that course or hire that coach.In today's episode, I want to change that self-punishment narrative. Let's learn from the decisions we are making and view them not as a punishment, but as an opportunity to take every moment and experience to become indestructible.In today's episode, we're specifically covering:How holding ourselves to high standards makes us believe that our self-trust is brokenHow to have compassion for yourself when you don't do things perfectly or get the outcome that you wantThe importance of understanding that you decide the results that you're going to getGetting a return on investment from any decision or experience every timeHow to practice nuanced thinking towards setbacksIf you are ready to work with us and turn your service into a program, we would love to have you! We are back in August to review all of our Yay for 100K applicants, so now is a great time to apply.
