We are live here. What’s going on, seven-figure visionary’s? Dino Gomez here, and I am sitting down with Jessie DaSilva and we are doing a client spotlight today. We are going to talk about how Jessie, a spiritual coach, did twenty-four thousand dollars plus four thousand dollars, I think is twenty four thousand dollars six hundred in the last time I was talking about that today, very excited to be sitting down with Jessie. We’re going to get into her story, how she’s learning clients, how she’s marketing herself, changes that she made so that she could have this incredible month, and all of the cool things.

So if you guys are joining us right now, let us know in the comments what city you guys are joining us from. We would love to know and as well to stick around for what’s going to be a crazy, jam-packed, amazing interview full of nuggets, tangible tactics, and strategies you guys can use inside of your coaching business. So, first and foremost, Jesse, thank you so much for joining me, my friend.

Yeah, of course. Thanks for having me. Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, Jessie, you are inside our seven-figure visionary and our mastermind for online coaches and consultants. And so we’re going to dive into you just having this monstrance month right now.

And some of the things I’m really excited to talk about is one, I’m really excited to talk about how there’s kind of this perception in the coaching industry that in order to make a ton of money, that you have to be in the make money online space. That’s one of the things I’m excited to talk about as well as you do in the land clients right now. As well as all the tweaks you’ve made your marketing to have this monstrous month. But let’s start at the beginning, Jessie.

Why don’t you introduce yourself, tell us who you are, where you’re from, and then also what it is you do as an online coach?

Yeah, my name is Jessie DaSilva and I go by the tag line on Instagram is the Millennial Money, which and what I do is I help spiritual entrepreneurs scale to the five-figure and beyond point through a three-point formula based on the principles of magic. So literally what it takes to make a spell work and are align your intentions, embody them deeply and take inspired action every day. And that’s my formula. No matter what level people are at, it’s the same thing.

So that’s how I work with people and I work with them one on one in group programs. I also offer one-off greetings. So yeah. And I’ve been doing this for about a year and before that, I had spent about eight months as a job hunt coach. So that’s basically about me. Like you can read more about me have been in Forbes and Yahoo Finance.

But this is basically what I’m sticking with now is I definitely like the magical side of running a business. I love it.

I love it. Super unique positioning, and incredible branding. We’re going to talk about that in a second and the importance of that, because in a very crowded marketplace, we keep hearing of so many coaches now, almost all have the same tagline. They’re all doing the same thing. You really zeroed in on your messaging and a way to differentiate yourself. And so I want to talk a little bit more about that. But let’s do this, Jessie.

So you’ve been online coaching for I think you said about a year.

Tell us about your online coaching journey for a second. Like, why did you get into online coaching? How did you start out? What would your title, quote-unquote, when you started out? And take us through kind of that journey before we crossed paths.

Yeah. So it’ll be two years in July. So the first nine months I had originally started as a job hunt coach because that’s I had come up with my own system for networking your way to a dream job. So I’m like no one ever had to send cold emails. The people I worked with you would usually find their dream job, that their dream salary, like 60 percent of them got it within 30 days and then the rest of them would get it within 90 days.

So I had like my little thing going and I was very like kind of afraid of also showing like this which side to me, even though that’s what I was doing and all of my calls and then all of my coaching, like I was still very intuitive and I would still do card pulls. I sold readings to, but I kind of kept them separate. So eventually I put them together. So it was like manifest your dream job kind of thing.

And then, of course, covid hit and shut down the economy for a bit. And so I knew I actually got really excited because it was nine months into my business. I had made every mistake in the book and I had been working with a coach. And, you know, I learned so much from those nine months. And even though, like, I had barely made. Money, I saw such an opportunity and I was like, oh, my God, I’m going to shift into business coaching because people are going to get laid off.

They’re not going to be able to like work jobs. They need to know how to start online businesses. So that became my focus was how to help people start their businesses online. And so I was helping anybody who had service-based businesses, coaching businesses, spiritual businesses. I was working at that for a while. And then because it kind of became formulaic for me, I got bored. And what happened is that I started attracting a different type of client and all of a sudden no one was converting.

So here I was. I had this group of like fifteen hundred people in a Facebook group. I had three thousand followers on Instagram. So it’s not like I was starting from the beginning. But I was and I had had these months before where I’d had like 20, I had like a thirty thousand dollar sales month and I made like twelve thousand in cash one month, but it had all of a sudden just come to a screeching halt. And it was like I had a mass purge of all of my leads, my clients.

And it was a good thing because a lot of them, frankly, either weren’t taking my advice or they were stiffing me on payments. And the people I was attracting weren’t really in alignment with what I wanted to do. And so I was sitting here trying to figure out what is this next iteration of my business looks like? I had raised my prices. I started talking about things differently, but I still didn’t really have the confidence to go forward with a lot of what I was doing.

And then I met you and you really encouraged me to just let go after that. And I knew on some level that I had to, like, go full-on crazy with the stuff that I teach. Like, I had to go full into the magic and the intuition and all of that. But I guess small shreds of me were still thinking that I need to be credible. I need to look like somebody who is a business coach or a professional business coach.

Even though I was talking about intuition and manifestation and psychic gifts, even though I talked about those things, I was so afraid to put it at the center of my brand. And then you kind of gave me that push and including after like a launch that flopped. And that was kind of like the last one where I was like, OK, I had this moment. I was like, I know I’m supposed to be weird.

You know, I’m supposed to be weird and like, putting the weird stuff out there. Like, Dino keeps telling me to put the weird stuff out there. So I said, OK, fine, I’m going to do it. And I remember I like went to my altar and I just said I didn’t even go to it. I looked across the room at it almost like from a place of resentment. And I said to the universe, my guides, whoever.

And I said, fine, you want me to be weird, I’m going to be weird. OK, but like, if I’m going to be weird, you need to take care of me on the physical plane. So that means if I put something out there, the super fucking weird, I need you to pay me for it. OK, like you need to bring me the people who want this because I didn’t want to just be another white lady talking about manifestation online.

Like that’s not what I wanted to be. But I realized that I had my own way of looking at things. I had my own way of helping people shift things very quickly because that’s what I realized was, like a lot of people were meeting, was that so much of like the shadow work and the inner child stuff would take forever. It takes months for people to shift. And I was finding that when I worked with people and shared my knowledge, they would shift very quickly.

So I begrudgingly, I guess, decided to put out like a magic-based program and it took off. It was amazing. Like I’ve had more interest than I ever had in anything I have found. Every single one of my clients is a dream client. And it’s literally been the easiest money I ever made, because even those months where I did have, like, these big figures, I had to work so hard to reach those figures.

I had ten one on one clients and then I had, I think, like seventeen in a group program. Whereas now I made those figures with currently eight people in a program and two had been left over clients who had paid for a longer package. So really, if we’re talking about like money per head, it was we’re talking about like six people. I made the same money helping six people that I did, helping basically twenty-six. So that’s amazing.

I think so many of us there are so many takeaways here. Right.

First off, less work, more fulfillment, weird self, which I think everybody deserves to be their weird self should feel comfortable in their own skin. And it’s really. Funny, though, right? And then you went from twenty-six clients and then sat down to a basically about six making the exact same money been flow, having to do something that you want. It’s so interesting to me because the resistance comes from pretending to be somebody that we’re not. Right.

You know, it’s funny and everybody has those. I think it’s so interesting, Jesse, too, because that’s I think it’s a natural thought process. Like, I want to chat with you about this for everybody to hear as well. Everybody has a degree of kind of that self-reflection where they’re like, should I be behaving a certain way according to society, according to my industry, you know, how am I going to be perceived? Like, you know it, like it.

I’m not going to, like, flash through my head. Like, you know, if you have a Michael Jordan jersey hanging on the wall behind you, are you going to come off like a super bro? Like people are going to want to trust and hire you, that you know, that you can do well with coaching? Or are you going to seem too much like a pro? Like I had those thoughts, too, but I’m like, no, you know, that’s who I am.

I love Michael Jordan and I am who I am. And I think the right audience will come to get to know me and realize I’m not one particular anything. I’m in my own category. It’s so, so interesting, right, that you that I think again, I think we all have that moment where we’re like, can I be my true self? Can I be fine? Can I act like the person I am around my closest friends who are equally good?

And is there a market out there for that? So super interesting. So a couple of things I want to touch on here.

We’ll actually get into how you sign these clients. So I know for those listening in or watching the replay, are you guys stick around? I know you guys are excited to hear about this.

Let’s look at this for a second here. You had some excellent months in your business, but that required a lot of one-v-one clients, a lot of low ticket sales. And then the clients were refunded. They weren’t paying you. I know we spoke about that. They were in their hassles. You had some men chasing them down through contracts, maybe even legal issues. Kind of.

Oh, yeah. Chasing them down for payments constantly. Yeah. Yeah. And so that whole thing and takes away from your passion and your love and your joy of actually coaching and helping folks out. And then after that, you realized, OK, I want to make this shift then the business wasn’t going well for a while, which if you’re comfortable with it, I would love to talk about this because, to be honest, that is an entrepreneurial journey.

Like you do have ups and downs. It happens to absolutely everybody. It happens to Amazon as well, folks, for everybody listening in, and guess what? Amazon always crushes it in December, which means the other months don’t look as good. So the chart, is it always going like this? We want it to go up while it has its waves, but we’ll certainly we’ll have a dip for a bigger month again. So when things weren’t going well for a second, what was your thought process?

What were the emotions? What were your concerns and how are you managing that so that you could get yourself back on track? And the other thing, too, is I commend you so much for having those months where business wasn’t going well for a while, and then you still came across us and you were still willing to invest. You still believed in yourself. Can you walk us through that thought process and why you made those decisions there?

Yes. So I’ve always been, like, intuitively driven. And basically, I had to sit and say, like, OK, this massive clearing out is making space. And like, I like and I’m not going to sit here and pretend that I’m like meditating in the clouds and like, super chill over being broke and like not having clients and all of that. You know, I had moments where I was like sobbing over it, just like feeling like this is never going to happen.

I’m just lying to myself like I’m not meant to be a business owner. Like, it’s just I’m trying to make something happen that’s not going to happen.

And like, sitting there thinking like, you know, I’m a former lawyer and I had a high-paying legal job and I’m a former journalist. And so now it’s like, you know, I’m sitting there thinking like I’ve ruined all my job prospects because now I’m like this lady who was in Forbes talking about how she’s a psychic.

So I was like, well, there’s no like there’s no going back for me like I’m just fucked at this point. So I was saying, like, if there’s clearing space for something and I knew that, like I needed another kind of coach, I knew I needed something that was a little bit different than what I had been doing. So, you know, and I, I joke all the time when I talk about you now.

I said had everything working against him. He was a man and he wasn’t a psychic.

So I came to that. But it was exactly what I needed. Like and it was I’ve always been somebody who said that the time to invest is like when you have no money because you have no other way to fix it. Like you can’t see your own problems because you’re stuck in them. That’s just how it is. So I was in this place where I had known intuitively I needed to make a lot of shifts. So one of those being that I needed to leave D.C. and move back to Florida with my fiance.

So we were right. At least you and I started working together right before that happened. And so all my money was earmarked for move and making it. And that’s a big, expensive move. So I was thinking about that. But I also just knew I was like, there’s no like there’s no other answer here. Like, I’ve tried all of my intuitive coaches and not that they haven’t worked, but like I’m very strong with my intuition. This isn’t what I need help with anymore.

And so when we spoke, I just what really drove it home for me was that you saw me like you saw my potential. You got me you understood what I wanted to do. And like that just like that meant more to me than anything. Not that other people hadn’t seen me that way before. But you saw, like, the potential beyond that. And you were like, here’s exactly like what we would do to get you there. And I was like, this is what I’ve been missing.

This is like structure. This is accountability. Because if anybody who is into astrology is listening to this, like I’m a pisces sun moon and a Gemini rising. So I like structure. It’s not my thing. I’m all over the place. I love to, like, be very flowing and intuitive and not keep a schedule. And I’m late to everything, like, it’s just how I am. And so planning things ahead of time was really difficult for me.

And I realized that that lack of structure and that lack of concrete planning was part of what was holding me back. And so having somebody who was very grounded in that, I knew would balance out the intuitive part of me. Like if I just knew, like the practical steps, then I could make it make the rest of it happen as long as I put my own spin on it. So that was like how I came to that decision. I just knew, like, well, if I don’t invest, like, I’m just going to keep spinning my wheels and doing what I’ve been doing, which is not working.

So to me, I like I always tell people you have like when you’re broke, I don’t care what you do, you have to find it in your budget to make it happen.

I love that’s so, so powerful on so many different levels. People think it’s it’s they think it’s backward, but it’s actually spot on. It’s exactly what you have to do. It’s more reason to invest because you don’t have money. Things aren’t working for you the way that that you need to be. And oftentimes people think to themselves when I have money, then I’ll invest. But you won’t necessarily have that problem. Then you first have to get addressed the problem so that you have the money.

So it’s this whole backward thing. Right. What’s so incredible that you said there, Jessie had this move coming up and you’re still like, nope, I have to invest. And I think it’s so interesting to hear because this is actually the first time we’re hearing it from your perspective, why you decided to invest. I think it’s interesting that you chose you to know, you’d worked with other intuitive coaches and they helped you in their own respective rights.

But you’re like, I need a completely different coach with a different set of skill sets that I find very, very interesting in the sense that I think oftentimes people think that if they go to somebody that’s most like them, that understands them or speaks their language, that it will help them more. And that certainly can be true. But sometimes it’s the complete opposite. Did you like maybe you can tell us a little bit more about that? It was mostly you said the structure or was it.

Because, again, I haven’t I wouldn’t know I don’t know how intuitive coaches coach. I only know the way that we do things. I’m really curious, like, how are those different? How has the experience been different? I guess if I can ask that here.

So they really helped with my mindset and they really helped me like, discover my own magic, like, so they helped me see, like, you know, it’s possible to run things from a place of wanting to feel good and happy and like healing all these kind of wounds, money, a mindset like money, trauma, childhood trauma, all of that stuff. Like they helped me with all of this stuff that was helping that was preventing me from showing up in my business.

But even if they had, like, practical strategy, like I wasn’t necessarily learning all of that, like what happened is that, you know, these are coaches who have like big followings and like, I think. I think basically like they don’t even realize the strategies that they’ve put in place in order to teach them as they do it so naturally, as it comes to them so naturally that it’s not a science that they can replicate or that anybody can, like, learn.

Step one, step two, step three. And not that that’s how we do things. Like instead I feel like what I’ve been given is almost like like the visual I’m getting is almost a buffet and it’s like I get my plate out of all these different methods, whereas before it was kind of just like turning me back into me, which if I have bad habits, that’s kind of blocking some of it. Right. So it’s like even things where like I just really try to I’m more cognizant, like in the structural aspect of things like if like we’ve even watched through, like, OK, like how many people and what’s the messaging and how are we going to reach them versus like, you know, let’s like meditate and get in touch with people’s hearts and like call them in that way, which is super important.

But I feel like you need both. And I had so much in this other field of it that I really needed to balance it out with tried and true strategies that not only I could use and experiment with, but that I could teach people as well. Because I do believe you need both. It’s kind of like yin and yang. You need like all you need to be, like, intuitively driven, but you also need to know what strategies are out there so that you can apply them to your intuitive business if that’s what you’re doing.

Gotcha.

Gotcha. And that makes and that makes complete sense. The yin and yang aspect and in branching out. And it’s also I also always think it’s kind of fun from a perspective of you meet a whole different group of people that are doing. Oh, yeah. Doing and speaking different things, which is kind of fun.

And so if you guys are just tuning in here, we are talking with Jessie DeSilva about how she’s had it’s actually twenty-four thousand dollars plus a month as a spiritual business coach who works in the field of magic. And so this is really cool because I haven’t we haven’t worked with somebody who works with magic and spells. And so this is different. And one of the things just to summarize, if you guys are coming in late now, we’ve really been talking about how important it is for you to own your unique brand and who you are and to be weird, be different, be loud is you know, as soon as you start copying another coach.

Right. You are basically saying to yourself, to the universe, to the market, hey, I’m nothing special. I’m going to copy somebody elsewhere really we are. We’re all unique in our own ways. You got to be on it. You’ve got to be loud about it. And so I suggest you put yourself in the spot where you’re like, OK, used to be a corporate lawyer. Now I’m doing magic and stuff like that. As a business coach.

Obviously, I can’t go back to the corporate lawyer space. I’m branded this way now and then. You know, we spoke about how you were caught up, kind of like, do I need to come off as a certain degree of special? And then you broke out the weird, like, I’m going to be myself. I’m going to teach business the way it’s going to involve magic and spells and the law of attraction and inner work and a bunch of things.

And so let’s talk about how we also spoke on how you went from twenty-seven clients down to six, making the same amount of money, working less, more and flow. Let’s talk about how you got clients here in a roundabout way. So what was the like marketing strategy for you? I mean, first and foremost, it was first, we need to brand you as unique and different so that people can latch on it and decide that they really like your essence.

What was the campaign that we helped to roll out that’s allowed you to enroll these clients currently?

So initially, what I what we did is I was on a call with one of your coaches, Danielle, and she had helped me see, like, where am I missing the mark between my branding and, like, how I show up. And so what she helped me realize is that everything I talked about, which was joy, passion, fun, magic, manifestation, glitter, sparkles like all of this stuff where it’s like very like magical and whimsical and fun.

She was like she looked at my website and she was like, do any of these look fun to you?

Any of these photos? Does any of this language sound fun to you? Like, do you want to hang out with you? And I was like, oh, my God, you’re right. Like, this is also serious. I had been so focused on trying to not become another manifestation coach that I became just another launch expert, just another business coach. So it was it was truly that.

It’s like how they say when you try to reach everyone, you reach No one. And so it had kind of like that’s the effect that it wound up having. I was trying so hard to just, like, give the world what I thought I wanted rather than what I wanted to. And just putting it out there, and that requires a different level of vulnerability, right, to be like I love this stuff and I don’t care if you don’t like it because the right people are going to show up.

And what’s funny was that, like, the first time I tried to, like, launch, like working with you in applying the methods, I was applying it to the wrong thing, like I was trying to launch a launch program and I had more attention, more clicks than I ever had. If I had, like on one day I had, which this doesn’t sound like a lot, but it is for me, it was like twenty-five people live on one of my workshops and like participating and commenting.

And it was really active. And I had like 50 people clicking on my link and not a single person bought it. And I really genuinely attribute that to the fact that I was just basically hawking another business program that was just kind of like copy and paste. And I know my strategies work for people, but and even though there was magic involved in it, it wasn’t the center of the messaging. So I wasn’t talking about, like, how to let your intuition guide your business.

And I realized when I looked like Danielle helped me realize that when I looked at it objectively, it did not look like who I wanted to be or who I was like. So the first thing I did was I manifested a photoshoot. And so I literally just bought I bought two really over-the-top glitter-like sequined jumpsuits. This one has these massive poofy sleeves like it is ridiculous. And so the first thing I did was go out and then I bought a gold wrap dress.

So like, I went all out, I was like, I got to be like the fairy godmother. And I live in Tallahassee, Florida. So, like, nobody’s wearing this. Like, let me like, this is not New York City. Like, no one is wearing these things. And I found a photographer who got me and got my brand and we went out. We took all these photos and they were fun. It was like me twirling me laughing, all of this stuff, and that just the photos alone made such a huge shift.

Like all of a sudden people were responding to things I was posting because, you know, it’s kind of like that when Harry Met Sally moment where it’s like, I’ll have what she’s having, you know, it’s like she’s clearly having fun in her business. I want to have fun in my business as well. And so we shifted the messaging there, too. Then I realized, OK, I was so worried on not becoming another manifestation coach that I became another business coach, like boring business coach.

So I said, OK, I have that chat with my guides. And I said, all right, I’m going to like, do the weird thing, so you best take care of me. And then I did. So now I became less focused on, like, regurgitating copy and regurgitating, like, everything that you had shown me to do, like during a campaign. And I became more analytical in the sense that, like looking at the prompts being like, OK, what was the point of this?

Like, you know, who’s like what’s the scene behind this post? What is it meant to do? OK, now I’m going to write it my way. And so I looked at it more from a concept-based place. The other thing was that, you know, I just kind of took my own ego out of the situation. So when I like, for example, like I was doing my own sales page, writing my own sales copy, and I’m a good writer, like I was a journalist by trade for years.

And so I said, OK, I’m just going to like to open a channel. And when I say this, that sounds crazy, but it’s like we all it is an intuitive inspiration. Right. That’s it. So I decided, OK, I’m just going to sit down and I’m going to free. Right. And just let it come out and see what happens. Like I’m just going to write. Right. Right. And then what I did is I would go back and read it aloud and see like and if I was getting hyped while I was reading it, I knew I was on track.

And whenever I felt stuck, I stopped. I was like, alright, I’m getting stuck. Let me take a break. Let me do some fun things. Let me disconnect for the weekend or whatever it is. And so in that way, like, I was able to basically like continue to follow my intuition, which is within the framework of this structure, unprovided. And so like of course it looks like things like, OK, we want to talk to like this kind of person about what they’re struggling with and what they could have.

And so it would be easy for me to just kind of regurgitate, like your copy or somebody else’s copy to be like you feel stuck in your business and like you want to be making this kind of money. And I just realized that, like, my ideal client, like, cared about a lot more than that. And they just wanted to be having fun. Like, so many programs are kind of stuffy. Not everyone’s a nerd like me, like who wants to, like, know the ins and outs, right?

Yeah, not everybody wants to feel like like like the nerdy things. So what could I teach that would be fun? And how can I make embodiments fun? How can I make magic fun? And so that’s just how I approached. It was like rather than really like trying to press into people’s pain points around, like money and business, I pressed into the pain point of like, it doesn’t have to be hard like it can be fun and you can, like, have friends doing this and you can enjoy showing up to these calls.

And like you can like this can be something that you look forward to. And so I guess that that’s really what it is, is that I like I just started analyzing things for like what is the what’s the goal of this strategy? And then how do I apply it to the unique person that I’m speaking to? I love that.

I love that. And that’s so what you said. They’re so huge on so many different levels because we all look for those shortcuts. I just want a copy and paste solution no matter what coaching program you join. Let me just directly copy, step by step what they’re doing. And I don’t you don’t want to copy. You want to model as you articulated there. You want to model what you’re doing because again, you don’t want to become a clone of your coach or essentially then you and your coach are then competing because you look and sound the exact same.

But it’s more model, the strategy, the framework, and then inject your own personality into it and be your weird own unique self like all day long. Yeah. The market is so crowded and it’s like robotic at this point.

It’s it really is. And this thing that I realized because I genuinely was like when I look back now, I wouldn’t have recognized it as fear at the time. I would have been like, oh, no, I’ve already thought about that. I don’t like it. Like, I would have liked a good reason for you if you would ask me back then. But the thing that you just like like you just kind of was like, no, like you should be like that.

That’s weird and interesting. And people will like it like and it’s funny because when I ran this campaign this time, I didn’t have those figures of people tuning into my workshops or clicking on my emails, not not to the same extent.

So like, I didn’t have twenty-five people show up to my workshop live. I had eight was like my highest number at one point eight people.

But those eight people were so engaged and almost every single one of them booked a call with me. And I would rather have that. I would rather have eight super engaged people who book calls than have twenty-five who don’t do anything yet.

And let’s talk about that for a second because that is the power of high ticket. Right. High ticket and alignment and which I think is so huge, especially for this audience tuning in for everybody who’s under ten thousand dollars a month. Under twenty thousand dollars a month. Right. Is oftentimes we because I made this mistake as well. I looked at and took a program from a very well-known marketer who has an audience of one hundred thousand people in the system.

The methodology they were teaching is to sell a low-ticket course to your hundreds of thousands of followers, which they have. And I did not. And most other coaches, new coaches don’t. So that absolutely works for them because they have the following, the brand, the cloud. But to sell low to get out of the gate, you need a bigger audience mathematically for the numbers to make sense. If you’re selling five hundred dollars 1v1 program or course you’re trying to get 10k a month, you need twenty customers every single month to get the 10k a month.

That’s a big portion of your audience versus with high ticket. As you said, you don’t have to have all the big numbers. You can have eight people show up to your workshop or to your webinar or to your event or whatever it is you’re running and they’re all qualified. You can have a monstrous twenty-four thousand dollar month. And so I appreciate you sharing that just because that’s so huge. And I think that’s so interesting. Less people, better-qualified people, a change in marketing and branding.

And so this is awesome. So to get your clients, you ran a workshop and clients attended the workshop, there was a call to action, which was a call with you. And then they hop on and booked a call with you and enrolled. So our folks ask you this. So what was the energy like? Because and again, you had a launch that or marketing campaign that didn’t go well at first. You hadn’t figured out your branding quite yet, and you had one that just absolutely crushed it after the adjustments were made and Step stepped into who you wanted to be, you need.

What was the energy like that was different, and what did you see? And feel. Between the two, was it anything you can share on that for sure? Yeah, the first time I was definitely in, like, Desperado Energy, so I was like, super desperate and like feeling like this has to work. This has to work because if it doesn’t work, I’m fucked. Like, that’s how I kept thinking. And then it didn’t work, of course.

And then, like, I was slightly fucked for it. But then I got unfucked. So it’s like, fine, you know. But the difference the big difference was that, as I remember at the end of that launch, I sent you all these voice memos where I was just like weird vomiting. And I was like, Dino, I got to quit. I’m going to get a job like, this isn’t working. I can’t do this anymore.

Like it was at that point. And you were like, one more month, just give me one more month. It’s going to be OK. Like we’re going to fix it like you’re going to be fine. And it was even just like that one month like things just began to shift because I had the support of the community and like and like I’m not even close to everybody in the community, but I had like my one or two, like, friends in that group that I really loved.

And then I had you constantly responding to my anxiety-ridden voice memos.

So I just learned to, like, start trusting. I was like, you know, and I actually did try to get a job and I got it. And I was fired in a week.

So I was like, I love this the way that I was. I was dying.

Laughing Yeah. I’ve I it’s so funny. Like, I’ve been fired, I think more than anybody I’ve ever met and not even it’s rarely for bad reasons. It’s just like I think it’s just my personality. I’m just like very tell it like it is. But this one anyway. So I just took that as a sign. I was like, all right, this was the job I was going to be excited about to do on the side. If that’s not going to work, then I’m just going to, like, listen to and give him this one more month.

And I was afraid to launch again. I was afraid to do this campaign. I think I pushed it back twice. And you were just kind of like, we got this like it’s going to be OK and we’re going to troubleshoot it the whole time and we’re going to like change a few things and whatever. You got it. And so when I finally did like it, first of all, as I landed, I did have a successful, like, mini-program that I did before then.

So, like, I started feeling better where I was like, OK. And it was almost like I dipped my toe in the water. It was literally like and I’d done it before. But this was like me, like going full. Well, I did. It was like a full moon spell circle workshop situation. And then I sort of pitched them on the big program. And what happened is that nobody bought into the program, but somebody signed me, signed, signed up for one on one.

And I was like, OK, things are shifting Dino is right! Like, I’m just going to keep rolling with it. And so I just had to bite the bullet and try again. And when I did try this time, because I’d already lived through that big fear of it not working, I was like, well, if it doesn’t work, it just means we’re going to fix it and try something else. Like it’s going to be OK.

It doesn’t have to work out this way because I’m in I’m feeling more chill about things like I just had to like, I guess like the kind of just chill out really and just like learning to like, have fun with the process. So the big difference, too, is that the first program, like I wasn’t having any fun, I was teaching stuff that I already knew that was kind of basic. You know, it was like creating I think the workshop I had done them was creating magnetic group programs.

And I was going about it the business routeway, which I do teach people how to do.

But this one, I did a workshop, it was three parts and it was based on my three-part formula. Align your intentions and them deeply and take inspired action every day. And it was all based on like manifestation. I said this is how you can manifest anything in your life, but especially through your business. And I used examples and I didn’t overteach, which I always tend to do. So I was able to give people enough info that they were intrigued so that they wanted to like look at stuff.

And the funny thing, too, is I think more things went wrong with that launch, with my second launch than went wrong the first time. But because I was in because I was enjoying the process so much more, I was enjoying the copy, I was writing, I was enjoying what I was teaching. I just didn’t panic as much like there is a point. There were at least two that like two things messed up. One of them was that what was the first one?

My sales page wasn’t up for like a week because I was still writing. I was writing, writing, writing, writing.

So I’m sitting there like, know, just the sales page where people go to work, where they go by.

I was like, I got pay links. I was like, if somebody wants like, they can still pay like I got the links, it’s fine. So I was like, still write. My sales page, and then it only went up, I think it went up on the last day of the workshop is when it went up and I was like just in the space of like, it’s fine because the sales pages are so good, people are going to love it.

Like, I’m not worried about it. And like that clearly didn’t hold anybody back because people like we’re still booking calls with me. And then the other thing is that, like, they had booked calls and I was like, oh, well, technically, like they might not be able to be there on day one of the programs. And you were like, well, who cares? Right. Like, just record it and it’s fine. And I was like, yeah, that’s true.

And so I wasn’t as panicked about the deadline to enroll because I was like, really this. Like, people would be fine if they start within the first couple of weeks. So who cares? Like it’ll be OK. And so I just kind of like let go of that pressure. And then the other aspect of it, like at the very end of my launch, like I knew I was supposed to like, like push really hard and like send like two emails a day or like an email a day for like a long weekend basically.

And I got back I’d gotten back from a trip and I was like, I’m so exhausted. Like, I can’t even look at social media. I can’t even look at my phone like, no, I can’t do it. So it’s like in the last few days of a launch, I just totally unplugged, which I would have never done the first time because I was so focused on making it happen. Whereas this one I was like, who was supposed to be the last three days of your launch?

And I was like, fuck it, I’ll just push the launch back. Like, who cares?

Like, I’ve already got I’m doing rolling admissions anyway. So I did that and then I just got an email and I was surprised to like three more days.

And all I got I remember just we were on a mastermind team called. Right. And you’re like every you asked me a question. I won’t go through it here, say because I’m not sure if we should go through it here. But you asked me this question and you’re like, what do I do in X, Y, Z scenario where, you know, like somebody wants to join, but technically the cart is not open and this and that.

And I was just like, I gave you this one answer. And you’re like, oh, well, that’s easy. Yeah.

This is from you like two hours later, like two more clients on board or something. Yeah. The main thing I want to share with everybody about this, everybody rants and raves in perfect action. It is one hundred percent true. But enjoying what you’re doing is so, so crucial. And here’s just exactly why I just explained here. Like, it takes away the pressure. If you make a mistake, you’re comfortable enough to laugh it off and have fun with it, which then people enjoy it more because I don’t know, at least it’s not my personality type.

But I, I don’t think anybody wants to have to be a perfectionist or be held to those standards. At least we’re all imperfect. And so, you know, it’s OK to mess up and have things not ready and be like, yep, the sales pages are done making imperfect action as long as you the main thing, guys, guys to take away listening in. And then we’re going to happen to some questions here is you just have to own you have to own your value yourself and lead by example.

So when things aren’t perfect, just say, yep, I take imperfect action. It’s not all set quite yet and and and just own that. And then the other thing I’m a big proponent of though is being super honest and forthcoming with folks. So like when we’ve launched our programs and they’re not even done yet. Right. I will. Those are people that are interested. I’m interested in the program. I want to join. And so I just we’re very straightforward with them.

Awesome. It’s going to be a six-month program. We’ve only recorded the first month’s worth of content or we only have two videos recorded so far. It’ll become. We just tell them what it is and roll with it. And people are normally really excited about that. They like new and imperfect and those things. And so I think oftentimes we build up. It needs to be just everything firing. Absolutely.

Yeah. And I’ve actually had that like with this program, as I’ve been like trying to build the course, like the training that goes along with that. So it’s like we’ve still had calls and we’ve had a guest call-in like support calls and all that. That’s great.

And I’m like, guys bear with me. Like it’s almost done. It’ll like you’ll have it soon. You’ll have it soon. And so it’s like, you know, I just ask them to be patient with me and just like it’ll be OK like it’s going to turn outright. Like it’s fine. And like I think people appreciate that because they see that like, OK, I don’t have to be serious in my business either. I don’t have to be perfect.

I always say it’s like a range. Right. It’s like I say that it’s not just typed A, type B, it goes from like like it goes all the way from like A plus A-plus to like B minus. Right. So I say that I’m like a type B plus like I’m mostly laid back, but I am a little neurotic and a bit of a perfectionist. So it’s like I’m still that. I’ve got that. Plus I would say you’re like an A-minus.

You’re like, you’re like a type, but you’re. So, like you’re organized, you’re on top of everything, but, you know, you really laugh it off.

Well, it’s so important to have fun in business and to enjoy the people you work with and what you’re doing. And coincidentally, when you’re in that energy and that have that flow and that mentality, that’s when amazing things happen and. Right. Because you’re in that energy, you’re going to attract people who are also in that energy, which are not going to be the clients that cause issues, complain back to all the things because they’re also in that state of abundance and happiness and all the things.

And so I’m going to do a couple of questions here on my mobile phone. Let’s see a question that comes is comes through is Caroline asks, Do you think a spiritual coach can only launch a program if it focuses on the financial growth of their clients? What is your perspective about it?

So if I’m understanding the question, it sounds like, you know, can you be a spiritual coach? Will Mavis’s on money? So, I mean, I think so. Like, I don’t think it matters like what you teach as long as you’re enjoying what you teach. So, you know, I’ve seen people like just totally do money mindset, you know, and that’s what they do. And there’s a lot of spiritual components to that. So I think that’s fine.

I don’t think that’s strange at all. Yeah, yeah.

And I will chime in and agree your niche does it. It does not matter as long as it’s something that you love, you understand well or you know well enough to teach somebody else about it. You don’t have to be the world’s best to make that clear. Nobody starts off as the world’s best. You just have to know enough, know more than the person you’re actually targeting to teach it to. And yeah, you don’t have to.

In a spiritual space, a ton of spiritual coaches, crush it, and relationship coaches and law of attraction coaches, it doesn’t have to be tied back to money whatsoever. So, yeah, we see a lot of interesting niches out there as well, a lot of clients in different niches and yet does not have to be tied back to money. So great. Great question, Caroline. And Yepp does not have to be tied back to money. If that’s something you want it to be kind of overlap with.

You can lend a couple of things. But yeah, it doesn’t have to be tied back to it. Jessie, we’ve always been going an hour now. I didn’t realize how fast time is going by. It’s so easy for me to chat with you, my friend. Let’s see if we will. I guess we’ve got to wrap this one up because almost an hour long.

In today’s episode, we’re going to be talking about how to structure a group coaching program and in particular how to transition from being a one v one type coach to actually running a group coaching program that is both impactful to your clients and scalable to you as the coach and business owner.

Let’s get into it right now.

Now, this is a story all about how am I. Hey guys, Dino Gomez here and you are listening to the Secrets of Coaching podcast, where we break down the nuances of growing a seven figure online coaching business. And we are about to get started in 3 2 1. All right, how do you structure a group coaching program, I remember this is a question I used to have before I was a part of a group coaching program, and then I ended up joining several different ones and I saw that they were all run differently.

And I was a fan of the way some of them were actually kind of managed, wasn’t a fan of how some of the other ones were managed. And so with all of that, I eventually came to become a coach myself and kind of came up with my own style of coaching. And so when it comes to structuring a group coaching program, here’s the first thing that’s important for you to know.

And I bring this up because I was reminded of this question today because one of our newer members previously before coming to us, she was out of time and she was stressed and she was overwhelmed.

She was working weekends and she had a bunch of clients. So her her issue wasn’t client attraction and her issue hasn’t been sales. Her issue is that she just had a broken business model. And so here she was doing under she was doing about 5000 dollars a month, offering one to one coaching services.

And she couldn’t scale. She was completely out of time. She was basically trading her time for money with her coaching services. And so she came to us. And, you know, we have two different masterminds. We have six figure visionary, four coaches who want to scale to six figures or multiple, six figures.

And we have seven figure visionary four coaches who are already off the ground, you know, hovering in that ten to thirty thousand dollar a month range. And they really want to explode to that seven figure mark.. We have the two different level programs. They are both group coaching programs. They’re both actually hybrid group coaching programs. And I say hybrid because there is one on one coaching elements included. So I figured out that I believe that is the best methodology is to have a combination of the one v one coaching, but also to have it be group coaching calls included.

And so that way people do get the personal one v one touch. But there’s also group coaching calls and the group coaching calls are extremely invaluable. I’ve always felt for a couple of the masterminds that have been a part of I’ve really enjoyed the group coaching atmosphere because not only do we learn from the leader or the mentor, but the opportunity to learn from others in the mastermind is extremely invaluable in developing friendships with them, partnerships with them, where you promote each other, help each other, where your guests on each other’s podcast, teach each other things that are working and not working.

It’s so cool to be friends with entrepreneurs on that level where you’re helping each other out and you understand each other and you speak each other’s language and that happens.

That’s why I love mastermind’s. That’s why I was so excited to build and create and, you know, this dream mastermind that I wish was out there for me type of thing. And so that’s what we built. And and so one of our clients came in. she came to us and, you know, she was super skeptical that because of her niche, she thought it was impossible to deliver a transformational experience in a group coaching setting.

Now, no one, guys, is don’t allow yourself to make an excuse for yourself. A lot of people love to do this. They love to make an excuse of why they are stuck and we all are guilty of it. But it goes like this. I can’t do X, Y, Z. I can’t grow my business because I am in this niche that is not in that other niche. I can’t grow my business because I don’t have a team behind me.

I can’t grow my business because I’m not charismatic. I can’t grow my business because yada yada, yada, yada, yada. We all make up the excuses. You have to get rid of them. This client was awesome. She hopped on a call with us and she was like, I’m stuck. I’m trading time for money. I can’t grow my business. I’m stressed and overwhelmed. I am working too much. But she’s like, I’m worried that I, you know, delivering a group coaching program to my clients that they wouldn’t get the same transformation as a one v one experience.

And it wasn’t until she joined our mastermind that she instantly saw the value of a group coaching program.

And the way we format our calls excuse me, the way we format our calls is that we have all different structures and they change every single week.

Sometimes we hop on a call and we just do hot seats and we allow everybody in the mastermind to contribute ideas to help somebody solve their problems.

Other times it’s a workshop. I teach people something brand new. I teach our clients something that’s really cool and brand new, and I make them take action on the spot. And those are workshops so that people get things done on the calls rather than walk away from the calls and feel like, oh my gosh, I have even more things on my to do. List the workshop, the workshop formula of a group coaching call makes it so people walk away with having gotten something done on the call so that we are literally forcing them to be productive and grow their business.

And then there’s other formats we have for our calls where we will do a live, just a live training, another format is that we will break people up into if you’re familiar with Zoom, breakout rooms. So if we have 20 people, 40 people on a call, we’ll put people into pods, into groups of like three or four individual rooms and give them a topic of discussion. Hey, share with everybody you know, inside of your pod.

What has been the biggest driver in growing your business last quarter?

And everybody takes a turn sharing and then everybody partners or we’ll put people in pods and say, hey, everybody, swap information, dates and schedules on when you’re going to interview each other on your podcast or on your Facebook group.

We help people facilitate connections and stuff. It’s really powerful. But the answer the question I got from this new client today, and she’s rocking it within three days of joining our mastermind, we immediately everybody joins our mastermind gets a one v one call with me instantly and we game plan for 90 minutes what your action items are for the next 60 days. And so we do that right away. We call it a cash injection strategy call. So everybody gets that cash injection strategy call with me.

And that’s where I sit down. I look at all your assets, I look at your business, and I go exactly what you need to focus on and nothing else for the next 90 days. This will make the biggest impact on your business the fastest, so that instantly all of our new members have clarity. So that happens. Read this part of the hybrid coaching. They get that one v one call with me. They have other additional one v one calls with myself or other coaches, depending on what level they’re at.

And then they have the multiple a group coaching calls every single week. So they get to see us in all different formats.

And then every single quarter we have a mastermind retreat, which is a three day virtual weekend where we recalibrate everybody’s business so that they can walk away with a new a new game plan for next 90 days.

So we actually have that retreat coming up here in just a couple of weeks. So our whole coaching staff is preparing for that. We’re going to make that. We always make that an incredible three day experience for our members, because what happens, guys, is that businesses grow at different speeds and they grow at different speeds than expected. So if you’re just working off of an annual New Year’s resolution goal of, by the end of this year, I want to be at half a million.

Maybe you’re on pace to be at two million after just three months into the year. You might be at a much faster growth rate, in which case you should change and update your goals or you might be growing slower, in which case you need to look at, what’s not working? According to the plan I had set at the start of the year.

So what we do at three day virtual mastermind is we help our members recalibrate their 90 day goals and we give them a clear step by step game plan for that so that they don’t have to focus on stuff that’s not going to help them. Right. Just because you’re working sixty hours a week or just because you’re working really hard doesn’t mean you’re working on the right things that are actually going to grow your business. Right. And so that’s what we do on weekend retreats, we help them get super clear on what to work on.

We all do mastermind. We have lunches together virtually, and we break out in the pod rooms and there’s partnerships.

People are sharing stories. We have guest speakers.

There’s incredible thing and everybody walks away going having implemented their strategy and their plan on the spot. And they walk away and they go, wow, I know exactly what to focus on for the next 90 days. And then over the next 90 days, they’re going to have one V one calls with various coaches and they’ll have, of course, the weekly group coaching calls. So that’s how we structure our group coaching program in our mastermind’s.

It is a hybrid model and and then the group coaching calls.

They change, right? Sometimes. Again, it’s a Q&A.

Sometimes it’s hot seat coaching where everybody contributes ideas. Sometimes we break up into little pods where everybody networks and we give certain assignments. Sometimes I teach a brand new cutting edge strategy and it’s a workshop and I make it implement on the spot. And and so that’s what I explain to our clients. She’s like, I don’t know how to run a group coaching call. I’ve never done one before. And that was originally her question. Right. And she was concerned it wouldn’t work in her niche.

And then after being on board with us for three weeks, a couple of things happened. One, we doubled her rate and and then had her begin pre sell in her group coaching program. So we helped her design her group coaching program. And then we helped establish the price point of it, which was twice as much as her one v one services. So she was undercharging. So she was charging about two grand for her one v one coaching for three months.

And we said, hey, your first iteration of your group coaching program is going to be five grand and boom, she started selling people into it left and right.

And here’s the thing.

She’s not capped. All right? So she’s not capped on her time. So she’s already sold, I think, five clients in the first three weeks for twenty five grand in profit into her group coaching program that doesn’t launch for another thirty days. So these people know. You know, they know it’s not kicking off a month later. Or a month and a half later, they know, but they wanted to get a spot. She’s like, I’m only going to have a certain number of people in this group coaching program for this first round.

It’s 5K and everybody is signing up left and right. And so real quickly, and then her fears of I don’t know how to facilitate a group coaching program. I don’t know if this will work for me purchased by her seeing her results in our mastermind in our group coaching program and seeing how we facilitate and run these calls.

She’s like, I’m blown away by the level of support. She thought she was like, I thought for sure I was going to join and never hear from any of the coaches who thought for sure I was going to join. And I would just be another no or, the coaches wouldn’t know my name. And she’s like, I’m getting all the support I need. I’ve closed five clients for twenty five grand in three weeks and I know exactly what to do.

I know a group coaching program is laid out. I know how to deliver and facilitate group calls. I see how much value there is a group calls because I’ve learned so much from the other members and these partnerships and everything else are incredibly valuable. And now she’s able to realize and understand how incredibly powerful her group coaching program will be to her clients as well. You know, as long as she facilitates the calls in that manner where everybody feels seen and heard and there’s different structures every single week to maximize the amount of potential in the amount of value and instruction and direction that the clients get.

And so, yeah, so I just thought, that’s the coolest thing.

She’s she’s absolutely crushing it. I can’t wait to see where she’s at. We have six months of working with her, so these are her results after three weeks. Can’t wait to see where she is at. At six months it’s going to be multiple, six figures, I’m sure of it. And so it’s just really, really incredible, exciting stuff.

And this will forever change her coaching business. Right? Because if she didn’t step out of her comfort zone. Right, what she did, she was she was concerned that one v one coaching was the only way to help her clients. She does healing work. So she’s like, I have to do one v one because of the healing, I’m helping people heal their dramatic experiences from their childhood. And now she realizes she can facilitate that in this group setting.

It’s incredible her ROl, because not only did she get an instant ROl in three weeks from joining our program, I mean, like multiples.

But on top of that, for the rest of her career, she’s only about 30 years old. For the rest of her career, that’s probably another 30 years. Ten decades, she now knows, has a scalable business model that is a scalable but is also impactful to her clients that will get her clients results. And had she waited an extra two years or five years and convinced herself, I can only do one V one.

She’d be that stuck. She’d be that burnt out. And she probably would lose her passion and love for helping others. And that’s what happens if you’re if you’re not enjoying helping your clients at any point in time, it’s because you’re burnt out. You don’t realize it. All right.

You got to fill your glass up first so that it’s overflowing so that you’re excited to help your clients. And that gets them the best results. But you have to take care of yourself first. And one of the managers, you can’t overwork yourself or otherwise you will start resenting your clients. And I’ve heard that from from others in the industry. They say, I used to love coaching and I don’t anymore. How much are you working there? Like, all the time.

I’m like, well, that’s why. So you’ve got to take care of yourself and you’ve got to have the right business model and group coaching hybrid model. I absolutely love. What I also have told clients to write is that they don’t have to use our model like you can make your mastermind your group coaching program. You can design it in any way, shape or form.

And one of the things that we do inside of our program, right, is, you know, on a week to week basis, it’s our group coaching programs like do we know which we are going to be workshops which weeks we’re going to do pods or which weeks we’re going to do hot seats and stuff like that? Nope. What we do is we we deliver our workshops this week.

The coaches get together. We all give each other feedback.

Hey, what was the client’s feedback? Are there any, questions that seem to be reoccurring or that are popping up right now?

And then we go, OK, this is going to be the structure for the following week. So we keep it very fluid so that I think this contributes a lot to our members success, because if if all of a sudden we’re getting feedback from all of our different coaches, because when you come into our program, again, there’s multiple group coaching calls per week. You attend whichever ones you want based on where you need support. They’ll have a different theme.

And our coaches get together and we go, OK, here, you know, it seems like the clients really need support in this area, right now because of the seasonality or because of what’s going on. And so we literally keep our program fluid. The next week we plan what style of coaching call we’re going to deliver. So we say, OK, you know, the coaches might get together and I might be like, hey, this new platform clubhouse just came out.

We need to do a training on this right away. And so then we’re going to get together and huddle on that. And that that might be a theme for next week. And then we’re going to have all of our clients. We might do it. We’re. Workshop where we teach them it, and then we might put them into pods and say, hey, you know, trade information with people and line up to interview each other inside of a clubhouse group.

But we literally give people an unfair advantage by, you know, by planning as we go.

It’s not set in stone. So we keep it fluid to get our members the best results because the industry is always upgrading and changing. And so there’s that’s how we do it. Right. And we explain that to this one client who is worried about the group coaching program. And she’s just head over heels in love with it now and sees the value of it. And so you get to design your own group coaching program the way it’s going to fit for you with the number of calls and the time of the calls and the structure in which you deliver it.

I like keeping a group coaching called Fluid, where they can change on a weekly basis based on member feedback and what the coaches are seeing as well. And it’s working incredibly well and it’s giving us a scalable business model, but also an impactful business model because we haven’t seen testimonials and it’s awesome.

So I hope that’s helpful for you guys. If you guys are stuck doing one v one coaching or if you’re stuck selling courses, a course where you’re not actually there present to coach and you’re wondering why your business are not growing and you want to upgrade your business and so forth. And so a high ticket mastermind, they go check out some more of your free content are definitely be sure to subscribe to this podcasts.

You continue to learn how we do that. And if you want, of course, you can always reach out. And we have a no pressure sales call where you can learn more about our program if you so choose.

So there is my self plug. But anyways, guys, I hope this episode was super helpful for you. And I hope you look into designing your own mastermind because it is so impactful for your clients when designed and implemented correctly and allows you to have a really incredible scalable business model that you absolutely love. And so that’s it for this episode.

Guys, as always, love what you do, love the journey. And we will see you guys in the next episode.

In today’s episode, guys, we’re going to talk about how a lack of money is not a in an excuse to not be successful.

Let’s dive into this one now.

This is a story all about how am I. Hey, you guys, Dino Gomez here and you are listening to the Secrets of Coaching podcast, where we break down the nuances of growing a seven figure online coaching business. And we are about to get started in 3 2 1. All right, guys, having a lack of money is not an excuse to not be successful or at least to not have to give it a go. All right. To take a shot at your dreams.

And and here’s what I mean by that, is that recently I heard somebody chatting about why they weren’t having the level of success that they wanted and desired, and they attributed their lack of success to the fact that they didn’t have money to work with.

So in other words, you know, they were saying things like, you know, what if I also had a big team of ten people and had a really fancy office and it had a cool, recording studio and had a really expensive camera, I can make really killer Facebook ads. I can make really high production quality YouTube videos. I can make awesome sounding podcasts. If I had all the team members and all the money for all of those material things and all this stuff, then, I would also be successful that that was their frame and point of view.

And here’s why that is faulty, in my opinion, is because you can take somebody who is just starting out, doesn’t have any any type of marketing, online sales experience, doesn’t know how to run a team, build a team, inspire and manage a team that doesn’t have any leadership qualities that that doesn’t have, you know, copywriting skills, that doesn’t know all the things that somebody just brand new and you can give them ten million dollars. Give somebody a brand new coach ten million dollars and you say to them, here you go. You have all the money and resources. You have to spend this money on your coaching business. You’re at the same level now as an eight figure online coach. Let’s see how you do. And then put them up against an eight figure online coach who started from no money or started with fifty thousand dollars in credit card debt, hiring mentors to help them get things rocking and rolling.

You put them up against that eight figure entrepreneur and both both have the same resources. Now, what’s what’s going to happen in one year?

Where each of them going to be. Right. I think you know where this is going. If you’re the entrepreneur with no experience, the starting entrepreneur we give you ten million dollars, it’s 100 percent yours. But you have to spend it on growing your coaching business and you pin them against somebody that’s been had to grind their way to eight figures from zero. And has had to develop sales skills, copywriting skills, skills of talking well and speaking well and presenting well on camera skills of leading a team, hiring, managing, inspiring a team, knowing how to compensate a team, knowing finances, knowing how to track numbers, knowing how to deal with client issues, knowing how to motivate clients, knowing how to design programs like knowing how to build funnels, knowing how what, what to say and what can’t say inside of Facebook ads and online advertising.

Knowing how to manage a Facebook group like you, pin that new entrepreneur with all the money against the one who had to grind their way up to eight figures. And what’s going to happen? I mean, the new entrepreneur, even though they have all the money like they said they needed, they’re going to get smashed. I mean, smashed. All right. And so I just thought that was such an interesting moment and thought that, you know, and I was trying to reflect back because it’s been ten years since I got started online.

I was trying to start reflect back and I was like at any moment in time when I was twenty three years old and just starting, did I think that if I had money that then it would be easy?

I was trying to remember I, I very well could have had that thought process. I don’t know. I don’t blame this individual for thinking like that. But at the same time I just want to make it very clear and evident and evident to everybody out there right like that. Money doesn’t save you. You got to have the skill sets. Right. And then money becomes an asset when you have the skill sets and you know what to do with it.

And that’s exactly why anybody who hits the lotto is normally has spent or lost it all within a matter of a year. And that’s like a statistic you can look up. But literally, people who hit the lotto, that’s over a million dollars. They normally have spent or lost all that money within a year. And they don’t have any assets or it’s not it’s not working for them. It’s because they don’t know how to manage money. That’s a completely different skill set.

So this goes pretty deep when you think about that. But the takeaway, right, is to ask yourself beyond maybe you’re not giving yourself the excuse of I have a lack of resources, I have a lack of money, I have a lack of team, and therefore I can’t be as good or I can’t compete with someone.

So if you’re giving yourself that and that excuse or any excuse really self reflect on if the excuse is valid. And to be honest, there really is there’s no excuses either do it. Either make it happen or you don’t. But trust me, it’s good to struggle and to have to grow and to make mistakes. To learn from those mistakes so that you don’t make those mistakes again, so that you can share those mistakes with your clients to protect them from making those mistakes so that you feel the pain of making a mistake and and you make sure it never happens again.

All of the learning lessons, guys the entire journey is an absolute blast.

So just enjoy the ride, enjoy the fact that you’re not you’re working your way towards the top. Right. And really enjoy the journey because technically you’ll never be at the top. You’re always going to be striving for more. And as soon as you hit a certain level, you know, as human beings, innately, as entrepreneurs who are individuals who like personal development and growth, you’re going to continue to want to grow. And so you will never be at the top.

And when you’re at the top or if you ever think you’re at the top, it’s by the day that you’ve lost your passion and love for the business, at which point you’re probably looking at retiring. And that’s kind of be it for you. But so enjoy the process, guys, and just look at yourself, reflect if you’re feeling triggered by anybody in the industry. And just if you’re saying to yourself, if only I had XYZ, if only I had their personality, if only I had their charisma, if only I had, you know, whatever it is.

It’s just an excuse. And even if we gave you all the money in the world, you still need to develop the skills, because even with all the money in the world, you would get crushed by them because you wouldn’t know what to do with it. And so I hope that’s helpful for you guys. I hope that gives you a moment to self reflect so that you can learn and grow and so that you don’t make excuses and so that you take massive action and just get it done.

All right. So that’s it for this episode, guys. As always, enjoy the journey, have an absolute blast with your online business and we will chat with you very soon.

Hey, Dino Gomez here. And if you enjoyed this episode, be sure to head on over to the SecretsofCoaching.com for more resources, downloads, videos and cheatsheets to help you grow your online coaching business. All right. And if you picked up a cool tip or strategy from this particular episode, we would love a five star review where every single month we choose one lucky winner to win access to one of our coaching programs. All right. So that is it for this episode.

Guys, we will see you in the next one, Bye bye.

In today’s episode, guys, we’re going to talk about how to be more productive as an online coach because it makes a difference.

Let’s dive into it now.

Hey guys, Dino Gomez here and you are listening to the Secrets of Coaching podcast, where we break down the nuances of growing a seven figure online coaching business. And we are about to get started in 3 2 1. All right, guys, how to be more productive as an online coach or as an online entrepreneur? Let’s dive into this one because this kind of ties right into the previous episode of How to Deal with Overwhelm.

But one of the ways for you to also deal with overwhelm or anxiety or any of the entrepreneurial things and, you know, kind of experiences, lessons, emotions, all that stuff is just being more productive.

It’s like getting more done with the time that you have.

And so here are just a couple quick fire tips to help you guys be more productive. Number one is don’t check your email until you’ve at least gotten two and a half, three hours of work done in your day. All right. That is a huge one. Most people wake up, they check their phone, they see an email, then they start going down that rabbit hole, they sign up to webinar.

All of a sudden you’re you know, you started by checking your email, hoping to be productive.

Have a great day. And now you register for a webinar that you’re going to watch at 2 p.m. later that day. And then you’re responding to other inquiries in your email. And you have the most brainpower, the first four hours of your workday. Yet that’s where your brain is functioning at high capacity, the most creative. And again, some people get very creative at the evenings and so forth. But ninety eight percent, I made that number up.

But basically almost everybody is most productive and has the most energy earlier in the day, because you just woke up. So you have that energy, your brain has that capacity. And so the first several hours of your workday need to be need to be designated to get in the biggest and most difficult tasks done inside your business. All right. So the thing you would prefer to procrastinate is the number one thing you need to get done first because you have the most willpower earlier in the day.

All right. So if it’s like, gosh, I really don’t want to run our numbers for the month, I really don’t want to run our numbers for the week and see how many leads we generated and how many sales calls we booked and then how many we closed. I don’t want to do that math. Right. It has to be done. You have to know your numbers as an entrepreneur. You should be doing all those things you have to be tracking so that you understand you’ll see correlations.

Right. That will help you continue to grow your business. And normally they’re pretty obvious, like, oh, my gosh I spent, you know, an extra five hours prospecting this week and we ended up with three extra phone calls and we signed two extra clients. Maybe I should spend more time prospecting or hire somebody to prospect. Like you’ll start seeing correlations.

You should be tracking your numbers, looking at your numbers and stuff like that.

For me, it’s not my most favorite thing to do, but it’s important task. So if it’s the end of the week, if it’s the end of the month, then I’m like, yep, I’m not excited about doing this. It’s not a fun sitting there and pulling in all the different numbers. It is fun looking at them. I will say that it is fun looking at the numbers and being like, wow, like we had a great month there.

Wow. Look at this.

Cool. Isn’t this interesting?

We turned on these new Facebook ads this week and look at how much it impacted the number of sales calls we had and the number of closings we had. That part is fun.

Pulling in all the data isn’t persey, but it’s still something I like to manually do because it makes me, you know, really remember the numbers. I could outsource that. But that’s one of those things I like. I don’t like doing it, but I know it’s good for me because I’m spending more time looking at those numbers and really understanding them now anyway. It’s a little bit of random and tangent there about data tracking. But those tasks that you don’t want to do, you should do first in your day so you ensure they get done.

You have the most willpower at the start of your day and you’re the most productive, generally speaking.

So that’s that’s number one. That’s one of the ways you can be more productive as an online coach is you don’t check your email. And then number two is you immediately get to work on the most important items in your business in particular, and particularly the ones that you don’t want to do but need to get done. All right. And then the next one is also don’t you don’t check Facebook, right? You don’t check Facebook, don’t wake up, check Facebook.

It will send you down a wormhole. It can destroy and affect your emotions. So, leave that till noon. Trust me, whatever somebody posted will still be there at noon for you to see. All right. And so that leads me to item number three, which is because you’re more productive and have the most willpower, the first four hours of the day, schedule your meetings, phone calls, appointments, Facebook lives, general social media stuff, any of the stuff that doesn’t take a lot of brainpower.

Schedule that for the second half of your day. Like, I can sit back for the second half of my day and take sales calls all day long. I can right now it’s it’s three thirty in the afternoon. I can sit here and record and rip out ten podcasts in a row. This is very easy for me to do. It doesn’t require a ton of brainpower, whereas, you know, playing with numbers, figuring out a new software solution, actually integrating different things like those types of things, putting together an SOP for a new team member, which we just brought yet another team member.

So doing those types of tasks, I do it first thing in the day. It has to get done. It’s more difficult to do. It requires more willpower. All right. Second half the day could be all of our team calls and our team huddles meetings. If I’m going to do a Facebook live, if I’m going to do a YouTube video, I’m going to do a podcast episode. I’m going to do it the second half the day.

And because it’s easier to do, but also it’s something to look forward to. It’s the thing I most enjoy to do. Most enjoy doing. Right. So I crashed the first part of the day, doing all the things I have to get done and have my lunch break, maybe a workout. And then now I’m like, cool. Now I get to do the, you know, be creative for the second half of the day, kind of unwind a little bit and have a ton of fun.

And so it’s it’s a good way to make your workday a lot of fun. Something to look forward to while in it. Check  all the boxes. It allows you to get done the must do items when you schedule your day like this. And then it also allows you to have something to look forward to. And so it makes it very fun for the second half the day.

And yeah, so doing those things, just those little things will make you more productive. Number 1, Don’t check your email until at least you’ve been working for two or three hours. Number two, don’t check Facebook for several hours. Number three, the first four hours of your day have to be dedicated to the most important and most difficult tasks. The second four hours every day should be more social type things or more creative type things.

And then the fourth one I’ll leave you guys with is to schedule what you’re doing the next day. That is huge because otherwise if you want to get better sleep and if you want to be more productive, you need to know what you’re doing the next day. And naturally it’s proven. like your brain will solve problems. And so if you’re like, OK, I really need to figure this out by tomorrow or this is happening tomorrow, your brain will help you figure that out.

And that way you don’t spend the first and most critical hours of your day, which are the first few working hours.

That way you’re not spending it, trying to figure out what to do because you will fall into the trap of checking your email and checking Facebook and social media if you do not have a schedule of what you should be doing. So that is why it’s so important to then plan. Here’s what I’m doing tomorrow so that, you know, I’m waking up and I’m knocking out these four tasks. They have to get done. I am doing them because, you know, that you you know, and then you tell yourself, I’m not allowed to check email or social media until these four tasks are done.

Then you’re going to have a very productive day. Now, if you don’t have anything to do or you don’t know what to do, you’re most likely going to resort to email or social media. And now you are playing somebody else’s game. Now you’re on their time and now you’re going down their rabbit hole rather than vice versa, which is, you know, you should be working inside your business, not being distracted. All right. And so those are just for quickfire tips for you guys to be more productive as an online coach or an entrepreneur.

I hope that was super helpful. And I’ll catch you guys in the next episode. As always, guys love what you do. Have an absolute blast with your online business and we’ll chat with you soon

Hey, what’s going on, guys, in today’s episode, we’re going to talk about how to deal with overwhelm as an entrepreneur. This is a hot topic and I’m excited to dive into it.

Let’s go now.

This is a story all about how am I? Hey, guys. Dino Gomez here and you are listening to the Secrets of Coaching podcast, where we break down the nuances of growing a seven figure online coaching business and we are about to get started in 3 2 1. All right, guys, how do you deal with overwhelm as an entrepreneur, as a human, but especially as an entrepreneur because it really plagues our industry? You know, it’s kind of something that you hear tossed around in inner circles, like in mastermind’s you’ll hear more about this, and a mastermind that I’m a member of. You’ll hear others other clients talk, you know, ask the coach, hey, how do I deal with overwhelm? And sometimes we all chime in and talk about how we deal with and manage stress levels and all the things. Right. And, sometimes in our programs too, obviously super real here, that’s authentic.

We just got off a great coaching call and one of our clients is like I’m feeling really overwhelmed because, you know, I’m so excited to do all these different things. I don’t know which one to do first. And so we helped break it down for her.

You know what she should be focusing on first and instantly, the anxiety, the overwhelm went away.

And so it’s we’re going to share with you guys is how you can help manage those feelings, those emotions that might be that anxiety are that excitement like of, oh, my gosh, I have a million things to do.

All right. And so this is one of the things we help our clients through, because it’s something that everybody faces.

We’re all human. We’re going to have these types of emotions. It’s just what it is. And so really, the first thing to recognize. Right, the first thing I always explain to our clients and then I individually help them, you know, based on their niche and what they have going on in their business of the solutions are actually unique for everybody. But there is a common first step.

The first thing to realize is that if everybody, every single entrepreneur and as long as you are an entrepreneur, you will always have a to do list of a million things always.

And it’s never going to get smaller.

As matter of fact, the more you grow and the more you learn, the more you realize that what you don’t know exists, like more infinitely huge your to do list gets because all of a sudden, you know, you haven’t done any online marketing before.

And then all of a sudden you hop online, you learn about SEO, then you learn about Facebook, and then you have to learn about funnels and then you realize there’s a B testing and then you realize there’s copyrighting. The deeper you go, the more and more stuff you realize there is to potentially master. And so as as long as you’re as long as you decide always be an entrepreneur, you will always have a million things on your to do list.

There’s nothing you can do to chop it down, because as you chip away at certain things that need to get done, more things are going to open up. And that’s just the nature of the game.

And so step one to releasing these feelings of anxiety and overwhelm is to one, recognize that, hey, this to do list is always going to be there and it’s okay for it to be there. For example, there’s a million things that I should be doing in my business that I don’t always have time to do. I have a massive To-Do list. You guys have prior notice I haven’t dropped an episode and I think like two weeks we’ve had a lot of things going on inside of our business. We’re growing very quickly and so but I don’t let it overwhelm me and well, I try not to, but I really mitigate how much it overwhelms me. And I really have a blast inside my business because one, I’ve been I’ve been at this for 11 years. So I have experience with this. Right. I’ve been able to kind of weather the storm.

And I’ve come to realize that we’re always going to have a million things on our To-Do list. That’s not what’s important. What’s important is for us to recognize, OK, yes, there’s a million things for me to do, but what are the most critical things I need to get done and and then focus on getting those done first? So I call those profit levers inside your business the things you must focus on to move the needle that are going to help grow your business the most.

Those are really the only things you have to get done.

And when you recognize that your to do list of 100 items of a million items, it no longer is relevant. All right. Instead, it’s just like, oh, my gosh, these are the three things I have to get done today and are most critical to moving our business forward. As long as you do that every single day, your business is going to grow. Now, the tough part is recognizing of the a million things on your to do list, which three profit levers do you pull?

Which three tasks do you tackle in order to move your business forward? So that is actually the trickiest part. And this is what most entrepreneurs get wrong.

And why it’s so important to have a mentor or a coach is because if you have experiences before. I experienced this earlier on in my career. I was grinding and hustling and working weekends and all of the things. And my business would still  plateaued at ten thousand dollars a month. No matter what I did for like six months. I couldn’t grow at past 10k a month, but I was working all the hours and and because I was being productive during those hours, I was getting things done.

But I wasn’t focusing on getting the right things done right. And I was wondering why are some other people, you know. Growing so much faster than me, right? They have the same amount of time and they’re working less than me, but why are they growing faster? Well, they were focusing they had their attention and their focus on more important items every single day. We had the exact same business and the exact same industry and the exact same city even.

So, it’s not like it was a geo geography thing or there was basically no other excuse except in hindsight.

What I recognized is that they were they were focusing on the most important items to grow their business. I was doing busy work and writing it off as I’m being productive. All right. And so that is exactly why you can have two businesses side by side. It can even be a brick and mortar business.

There could be two local gyms or two hair salons. And why does one in the city,  or in the little town, take off why is one dentist become the go to dentist? Right, when it’s the same thing as every other dentist? Why why is one better than the other? It’s just because they are focusing on how to grow their business and focusing on the most important tasks.

All right. And so those we call profit levers. And so I just want to bring this up. Right, because if you’re feeling the overwhelming anxiety, right, one of the ways you can help minimize it is just to go, you know what? It’s OK.

Yes, I have a thousand things I should be doing. I should be blogging. I should be on Pinterest. I should be on Instagram. I should be on YouTube. Yes. Ideally, you’re everywhere but. Right. It may not be plausible for you to do that.

And so instead it’s like, OK, where is the most important platform first that I should be spending my time right.

Rather than trying to do all of it at once. And you’re freaking out and you’re trying to resize graphics for different platform, you know, and and resize videos to fit in. You know, the length of a YouTube video can be infinitely long, but I need to shorten it down to be an Instagram clip. And there’s all these things right.

And yes, technically, ideally, in a perfect world, we’re doing all of that stuff to market our business.

But it’s different, like realistically at the start or even, you know, even before you get a million dollars, it’s impossible for you unless you have a team to be on all those platforms simultaneously. And so. Right. It’s like, OK, well, what is the first platform I need to be on? Let me put my attention to my focus there. It’s a profit lever.

So as we were talking to our client today, she has this incredible question and she is crushing it. By the way, she’s been with us not even a month and has doubled her rates and landed like four or five new clients. But with that right, she has new questions, new problems. At every new level, there is a new devil. And as she’s leveling up and growing her business, it’s opening up new territory. She hasn’t traveled before and therefore, overwhelming anxiety is kicking in a little bit.

And right until we said, hey, it’s OK. Yes, you have a bunch of things that ideally would be done all at once in a perfect world. But, hey, you only need to focus on these three things, get these three things done this week. And if you do that, that’s the most important thing that’s going to grow your business the most. And with that, just in talking to her for five minutes, boom, she’s like, wow, I feel much better.

Like, that’s so easy. I was like, yeah, it doesn’t yeah. You don’t have to worry about all the other stuff. It doesn’t matter that Suzy down the street is on Pinterest and Instagram and stuff like that, like, nope. Here’s your platform based on your niche and also where you should be spending your time, not just in the marketing sense, but where you should be spending your time for this individual to help her grow her business the fastest.

Right. And I’m able to pinpoint that like boom. Just do that, trust me. And anxiety overwhelm melts away. So, you know, you should have a coach or mentor to help help you make those decisions so that because if you’ve plateaued, if you’re spinning your wheels, if you’re not growing, it’s you’re not seeing something that somebody else with this experience could probably see and it’ll drive you crazy.

So at some point I’ll drive you crazy enough or you’ll be you’ll be like, OK, let me hire a coach to figure this out. Or if you’d like to just move faster and don’t want to wait to get hung up, you’ll just hire a coach so you don’t make the mistakes and don’t waste six months or even years inside your business, you know, remaining plateaued and stuck. So, yeah, I hope that helps. Guys, that’s how you get rid of overwhelm one.

It’s just identify that you’re always going to have a lot of stuff that needs to get done, but that never changes. But what’s most important, right, is you just get done the most important tasks, right. And you just focus on those and that shrinks your to do list. And that should give comfort to you and allow you to enjoy the journey. Because, guys, let me tell you, it’s crazy to think that I’ve been online for, I think ten years now, officially, so a decade and how fast time goes by.

I sound like my parents, but it goes by fast. So enjoy the journey. I wake up and have so much fun of my business every single day. I made a costly mistake recently, and I just started laughing about it like I was just laughing because I’ve been there, done that before. I know it’s not the end of the world and I’m just having fun while we’re doing, you know, and really being in the moment. And so do that as well.

Enjoy the actual journey. Don’t wait for the destination because really the destination is elusive. It’s really about just personal development along the way of having fun. So that’s it for this episode.

Guys, I hope that was super helpful and as always, have an absolute blast inside your business, we will see you guys very soon.
