On this free cheat sheet, I explain in a few words what must be done each step of the way. Download this cheat sheet for free and check off the steps as you go.
To start, lets talk about why each these steps matter…
STEP ONE: UNCOVER YOUR HIGH VALUE OPPORTUNITIES
Your unique value system is the key to designing a business and a life you love. When business is based on your greatest and most natural strengths… your business stands out. Understanding your strengths can be a little tricky. I use a process called your Money Spot. It involves identifying problem you solve in the market based on your core values. Your core values are responsible for your greatest joy and your deepest pain. When you design your business in alignment with your core values, you are on the top of your game. You feel “on-purpose” and everything simplifies. You also resonate with those people who most need your services.
STEP TWO: DESIGN YOUR MONEY MAKING MINDSET
Habits become patterns and patterns create results. We all have core patterns in place that run on auto pilot. These patterns have served you throughout your life. Once you become entrepreneurs its time to design new patterns that create and sustain the business you want. Many children learn to be quiet, do what your’e told, don’t make a fuss. Those instructions from a loved one help you stay safe as kids. But once you launch a business… a whole new set of beliefs is required. Get out and be seen, speak up, think differently, become the new rules of success. So how do you create new patterns for your business? By designing them!
First give the pattern you are operating in a name. For instance, if you are at 5 figures and not getting traction toward making 6 figures you might name your existing pattern “The 5 figure trap.” Next take out a sheet of paper and draw a large circle, then write down all the beliefs and references you can think of that support this pattern in the circle. What are the characteristics you embrace? Perhaps holding back, staying home, distracting yourself, procrastinating. Get it all down on paper. Now you can see the beliefs you hold when you are operating in this pattern.
Now, let’s create a new pattern. What will you name it? Maybe, “6 Figure Biz” Get a new sheet of paper and draw a circle, this time fill it with all the beliefs you will hold in this patter. (i.e. 10 clients a mont, a hot online coaching program, speaking opportunities) whatever that business looks like to you, also include words or symbols of what your life is like when you choose this pattern.
Post both patterns where you can see them. As you go about your day ask yourself which pattern you are operating in when you make decisions about what you will do and who you will be. Neither pattern is right or wrong, sometimes it is good to hold back and wait, other times its best to be bold and take action. The goal is to realize YOU are at choice as to which pattern you are allowing to guide your decisions. And awareness is power.
Creating your dream business requires a new level of awareness which will expedite your success.
STEP THREE: CREATE IRRESISTIBLE COACHING PROGRAMS
Many times it does not seem as if you have a signature system, but I believe you do. When you break down the process you take people through step by step you will recognize the steps you take with them. Creating options based on how your client wants to work with you gives you the opportunity to have multiple offers without creating new content. Without a clear easy to communicate system your prospects will not see the value of your offer. You must have a specific program with an outcome and a process that you take people through. Once you have your signature system and your program you can choose how it will be delivered. It can be a 6 month program, a VIP Day a workshop a 3-day event or a mastermind group for example. And once your system, program and offer are in place its time to identify your target market and find the people who will say yes to your services.
