Episode 176
Usually, when people talk about productivity it feels stressful and is focused on quantity. This is NOT that kind of podcast episode.
Tonya Dalton is a productivity coach who knows our days have a rhythm to them, life has an ebb and flow, and she even shares why you shouldn’t “eat the frog” first as most people will tell you (what a terrible way to start your day!).
I bought Tonya’s book when I found myself being triggered by the idea of productivity and organization when hearing her speak. She was talking about productivity in a way that was so different and could actually help me.
Before implementing her concepts, I would often find myself starting Monday morning looking at my inbox and allowing my day to go into a downward spiral of responding to issues – often forgetting self-care and even the basics like drinking water!
This episode is about taking responsibility for choosing how we set up our day (even Tonya’s teenage son is doing it!).
I realized that if I want to live out my heart’s passion of serving people then I need to be responsible for how much I can do in a day (hint: it can’t be EVERYTHING).
Join us for this honest conversation about letting yourself find your passion if you haven’t yet, creating structure for your business and life wherever you are TODAY, and making sure to include some things you wouldn’t expect into your idea of productivity (like play!).
It’s not often you get to sit down with a productivity coach and talk about how watching episodes of Tiger King (totally guilty of this) and freethinking NEED to be part of your daily schedule.
This is how productivity for creatives and spiritual people can feel, but it takes looking at that word differently.
Listen Now:
Highlights you won’t want to miss:
- We think our story is written, but we get to write our stories ourselves.
- It’s easier to go all-in when you understand your North.
- You’re probably not going to find your true north on the first “Why”… and how to go deeper.
- Make time to invest in yourself (it’s the only way!).
- How to structure your day differently than we’re used to.
- Our brain is not designed to work at full throttle all day.
- Quantity isn’t the way to measure productivity. Being satisfied is often left out of the equation (but shouldn’t be).
- How to understand what a true time waster is (it’s not watching Tiger King, whew).
About Tonya:
Tonya Dalton is a nationally recognized productivity expert, best-selling author, and speaker. She is a growth strategist for female leaders in the corporate and entrepreneurial sectors. She is a Mom to two teenagers and lives in Asheville, North Carolina. Best of all, she practices what she preaches when it comes to productivity and following your North Star.

Hey friend!
If you have a hard time knowing how to price yourself or even know your worth you may want to print this one…
First off, I used to be the “discount queen” and now I’m not. So if I can change and clear my money blocks, so can you. Yay!
Before we get started, please read and remember this: YOU’RE WORTH IT. YOU DESERVE IT. NOW IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE.
OK, ready to break some rules?!
RULE #1: You must have a low/high ticket offer.
Says who!? Why? You’re allowed to have offers at any price and you don’t “HAVE TO” anything!
Solution: When you consider your low/high option, how does that feel to you? Do you feel excited and like “daaamn this is a great offer!” or do you feel like “I hope they buy, I don’t know…”.
If you were the best in the world at what you do, and you trusted your intuition – what would you price your thing?
RULE #2: You should price yourself similarly to others in your field/expertise.
Oh dear God no. That’s what got me into the mess I was in when I started my healing business! I priced myself at the same or slightly below my neighbors. Not good.
Solution: If your neighbors are offering (for example) 30-minute, 60-minute, 90-minute sessions or really any variety…notice the ONE offering where you serve at your highest level.
For me, it was 90-minutes. I was able to get the full treatment in without feeling rushed. I nixed the other two offerings and ONLY did 90-minutes!
Don’t be afraid to just have your signature offering for any price that FEELS good to you. (Remember, there’s always going to be someone who’s more money or less).
RULE #3: You should build an ascension model.
Look, you CAN do this, but you don’t HAVE to. It’s great to have an offering at every level from free to super high or premium. But don’t believe the lie that you must.
Yes, I’m the pot calling the kettle black! I have free offers like my Aligned & Unstoppable Podcast, free meditations, and weekly IGTV content, I also have a $30k mentorship, and many things in-between, but honestly, it’s not needed!
Solution: Write out ALL of your offerings with their prices. Which ones account for the most income in your business?
- Put a star next to the ones that light you the F up!
- Put two stars next to the ones that if you were able to hit your big ass revenue goals just doing those, life would be epic!
- Write down which ones you’re going to focus on growing and which you’re going to release.
Example: The 3 metrics I’m focusing on growing this year are: The Podcast, the Angels In Your Biz Oracle Deck, and the Mastery & Ascension Membership! (Those are all $44 or less that bring in multiple 6-figures into the business.)
RULE #4: You should make sure to price yourself so people can afford it.
The FACT is that people will complain and say they “can’t afford” your stuff no matter if it’s $7.00 or $7,000.00…trust me, I’ve heard it all! So STOP trying to be the Wal-Mart of your industry and just do whatever the F you want!
Solution: When you provide high value, people will want to work with you. If the choose to work on their money blocks, they’ll create a way to work with you. Some people will even save up money to work with you! Some people will take out loans, borrow money from someone, or hustle their ass off to make it happen…because if you deliver, they will come!
So don’t be afraid to raise your rates as often as you feel you need to.
FACT: I’d rather pay $400 to someone to do a reading than $100 because the person charging $400 clearly owns their value, is confident in their work, and will deliver the RESULTS I need. I’m not a barain hunter when it comes to my healing! (You can give yourself permission to attract more people like me and fewer of those penny pinchers!)
RULE #5: Only about 1% of your email list will convert.
Bull-to-the-shit. Naw. Nope.
If you believe that, sure you’ll make it true. Everyone (especially people who sell list building) will tell you that everything in your business depends on having a big email list.
I don’t subscribe to that. (That was a pun!).
I digress…Here’s the thing, when you have a bigger list with the RIGHT people you can definitely expect a higher conversion into a sale. If you have a small list you can have even HIGHER conversions because you have more of a personal relationship with them.
Solution: Commit to building your email list every day, whatever that means to you. Make sure you’re getting really great people with an equally great opt-in that’s in alignment with your best work.
The industry standard is 2-5% conversion, you can be below or above that and it be perfectly NORMAL. Compare yourself against YOURSELF from launch to launch. Make sure you write down what words resonate, what worked well, what didn’t work well. Rinse and repeat!
For example: Intuition Week for me has converted around 6% two times in a row. However, in May (mid pandemic) I wasn’t sure what to expect…I set my goal for 6% but we did 9.8% utterly mind blowing, even for me! So the truth is, YOU are your best competition.
In summary, throw out the rules, trust your gut and give yourself permission to create your own winning strategies!
It’s my belief that you can create your own one-size-fits-YOU business strategy that feels great, gets you results, and gives you more freedom in your life without burnout…That’s what I teach inside my mastermind!
Join the waitlist for the next Mastermind in the additional resources below!
I hope you’re committed to breaking these rules and owning your own badassness this year!!
Leave a comment and let me know which rules you’re breaking!
Love, Em
