Productivity For Spiritual Entrepreneurs That Isn’t Soul Sucking

 

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.

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.

Angels in Your Biz Weekly Forecast July 13

 

 

Episode 175

 

It’s time to approach launching in a whole new way this week. Part of this work is grounding yourself into the state of ease, joy, fun…you don’t have to subscribe to those old beliefs that you have to “work hard” and “hustle”. I want you to launch in an easier way for you. This week is an invitation to STOP burning yourself out to grow your business.

 

 

JULY 13 ENERGY FORECAST:​

 

29. Grounding: Refresh and reset

One of my favorite things to do every day is to get outside and appreciate nature. Living in the northeast, the weather can be very up and down, but even if it’s chilly, I’ll take a break from work to walk around the block or even a lap around my backyard farm just to make sure I get to enjoy the day. Another benefit of going outside is to ground and refresh my energy. What do YOU do to break up your workday and reset?

 

 

20. Launch: NOW is the time

It’s time to set your dreams into motion! Quit waiting for the “right” time, NOW is the time to take action. Your angels are asking you to finally set your intention of what you desire, imagine the best possible scenario, and allow them to orchestrate everything. Take massive aligned action every day towards seeing this goal come true!

 

 

9. Plan it out: It’s time to get more serious

If you’ve been winging it, it’s time to get a little bit more serious. You’re ready for a whole new level to come in, and you’re blocking it by not planning for your success. Take a few minutes and consider, “What’s the BEST possible outcome for this?” Maybe you just want to grow your list or following, but perhaps you’re about to open up for WAY more income, soulmate clients, or support. What are you afraid of? Close your eyes and let your guides illuminate your path.
Look a little deeper…is there a place deep within you that’s afraid of success? Is there something that’s secretly sabotaging your audacious dreams? Hand this over to your angels and allow yourself to be successful.

Struggling with pricing? Break THESE rules!

Struggling with pricing? Break THESE rules!

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!

Trust your guy and give yourself permission...

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!

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

Angels in Your Biz Weekly Forecast July 6

 

 

Episode 173

 

The cards this week are asking you to really use your internal guidance system to help you navigate…so ask what feels good/bad heavy/light?? Listen to your body this week and allow your guidance to assist in the next steps on how you use these signals to show up on social media.

 

JULY 6 ENERGY FORECAST:​

 

33. Pivot: Tune in to what FEELS good

Something feels off. You don’t need to throw away all of your work but I’d seriously consider shifting so you don’t feel like you’re “pushing” so hard. Your business doesn’t have to be a labor of love; it can be easy. Maybe it’s time to look at the story “I have to work hard to make money.” Did you catch yourself? This could be a lovely place to journal what FEELS good and what feels heavy in your work. Give yourself permission to let go of what doesn’t feel light and easy.

 

 

42. Social Media: Your guides will create the strategy

You can’t avoid the topic of social media and your guides are here to help you create the perfect social media marketing strategy ever. You don’t have to be on all of the platforms but please pick at least one that you will be 100% committed to. If you find consistency difficult, schedule one day per week to create captions. Start a folder of other accounts you love and borrow their themes. DROP the story that you just don’t get it, you’re not techy, or you’ve never been good at it. Embrace the fact that your angels and guides are here to lovingly assist you in this process.

 

 

28. Core values: Hone in on your purpose and values

Hone in on what it means to be you. The faster you can connect to your own purpose and values, the sooner you can implement them in your business as well. Once you have both of those, then you can attract a team that totally upholds those values as well. Quit getting annoyed at others who don’t “get it” when you haven’t made yourself clear. Make your expectations known. Be as direct as possible, no giving hints. People can’t read your mind. This is about taking full responsibility for yourself and your business. Are you dealing with a troubling situation? If you were the best in your field at what you do, how would you handle this situation right now? Start acting more like that person every day and your life will dramatically change for the best.
