You asked for it and now I’m delivering – a workbook filled with exercises to help you create a business plan, get crystal clear about your finances and quit your job!

These are the exact steps I took to create a viable business that allowed me to quit my job in six months to work for myself. These are also the steps I teach coaching clients who have been able to quit jobs they hated, build businesses or improve already existing businesses.

It wasn’t until I got crystal clear on what I offered, what kind of money I wanted and what I needed to do that I started making any money – and this workbook is going to help you discover that for yourself.

You’re not going to find anecdotes about my entrepreneurial journey here (that’s what my book is for), you’re going to create your own successful journey by completing a series of exercises I teach my clients.

If you need a little more detail then keep reading because I’ve got you covered.

 What the workbook covers:

Employee to Entrepreneur – Letting go of employee beliefs that won’t serve you in your own business. Creating a schedule that works for you and determining which activities lead to making money quickly. Exercises cover time management and delegation.

It’s Not Sales; Its Sharing – Determine how much money you need to quit and how to get it. Exercises that help you determine offerings, test your offerings with your market and pricing. You’ll also learn how to sell and create a follow-up system.

Money: From “Oh Shit!” to “I Got This!” – Exercises that help you determine any negative money patterns so you can begin changing the script. Exercises to help you determine how to get paid easily, how to find help and how to let go of money regrets so you can ask for more.

The Benefits:

How to Quit Your Job Part 4: 5 Keys to Effective Sales

 

YOU ARE SIMPLY THE (2)Welcome to Part 4 of the How to Quit Your Job Series! Today we’re talking about a topic that affects side hustlers and anyone starting a business: effective sales training.

Sales is often times seen as being pushy, annoying and uncomfortable. People avoid sales like the plague when in reality it’s the lifeblood of your business. If you don’t know how to sell then you’re not going to be making money.

The truth is there’s no reason to be afraid of sales. It’s just a form of service. Someone has a problem and you are letting them know about a solution.

In today’s video I’m going to give you some effective sales training techniques that will make your sales conversations less uncomfortable and more likely to succeed.

Watch the video below. If you’re on the go you can download the MP3 for your listening pleasure.

Effective Sales Training Video Recap

1. If you’re afraid of sales, you won’t make it in business.

You must get over your fear of asking for money, otherwise you’re never going to make any! As I mention in my best-selling book, sales is really just a form of sharing. You are giving someone a solution to their problem in exchange for money – that’s it! It is simply a trade of fair value.

When looked at from this perspective, sales doesn’t seem to scary anymore and can in fact be fun.

2. Be very clear about the pain points your potential customers have. What are they struggling with? Why is it a problem?

One of the biggest issues I see when it comes to people making money online is they have no idea how to articulate who their target market is and what their issues are. You must get clear on this if you plan on making any income online.

3. Learn to articulate the benefits of what it is you offer. How are their lives going to be improved by hiring you?

Another issue I see when it comes to entrepreneurs and sales is they don’t know how to articulate the benefits of their product or service. When someone asks them a question, they immediately go into logistics! For example, coaches start talking about how long sessions are instead of articulating the benefits of the sessions!

4. The fortune is in the follow-up! Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get a sale right away. Set up a follow-up system.

Most sales happen after seven points of contact – seven! That means it’s up to you to create a solid follow-up system so that you stay in touch with potential clients. If you don’t believe me, consider this – I’ve closed deals months after initially meeting a client. The reason I was able to do this is because I understood that “No” doesn’t mean “Never” and continued to follow up.

5. Use referrals to make money quickly. People who can vouch for your work are your best sales people. Ask them to send referrals over your way in exchange for something you’re willing to give them.

Tons of businesses do this – including my orthodontist! He has a referral program where if I bring him a new customer he knocks $100 off both our bills. This is an excellent way to build a business because it actually works!

How to Quit Your Job Part 3: The Key to Making Fast Money

 

HOW TO MAKE (1)

Welcome to Part 3 of the How to Quit Your Job Series! Today we’re tackling a big mistake I see a lot of beginning entrepreneurs and side hustlers making: hiding behind a computer screen!

There seems to be this misconception online that all you have to do is publish some blogs and that money will start rolling in. Sorry to break it to you, but that’s not at all how it works. In fact, this isn’t a very smart way to go about making fast money.

The reality is if you want to start making fast money you have to find people who pay you. As Ali Brown often says, in the beginning stages you need to follow the money. In this week’s video we’re covering:

  • A mini lesson in inbound vs. outbound leads (and which one you should be focusing on)
  • How to find the best events full of your potential clients
  • How to use referrals to increase business.

Watch the video below. If you’re on the go you can download the MP3 for your listening pleasure.

 

Making Fast Money Video Recap

1. Inbound leads are those that come to you.

This includes blogs, website traffic, people who follow you on social media, people who call you, people who email you, etc. In other words, you didn’t have to go out looking for them because they came to you.

This takes some time to build. For example, it can take a while to build a blog or an online brand that brings thousands of people per day – but it is well worth the time investment! You want to spend time focusing on building this part of your business because you don’t always want to be chasing people.

2. Outbound leads are those you actively go looking for.

This includes cold calls, cold emails, tweets, etc. This is what several business owners have to do before they’ve built up enough of a reputation where leads start coming to them. Don’t be surprised if you spend a lot of time here – especially in the beginning! The reality is clients don’t just fall into our laps, we have to work for them!

3. You need a combination of both to really make it in online business, but in the beginning you can spend most of your focus on actively seeking people who will pay you.

I’m a big believer in blending both inbound and outbound leads in my business. It’s why I’ve spent years building an online brand. However, that doesn’t mean I didn’t also spend a significant amount of time actively searching for clients.

Over time I’m happy to say that clients are starting to come to me, however this took many years of hard work and the foundation was built upon me actively seeking new clients.

4. Find the kind events where your potential clients will be hanging out. When you meet them at these invests invite them on the phone, follow up via email, etc. Build that relationship!

You must have a plan when you attend networking events! It’s not enough to simply show up and hand out business cards, you have to provide value! Additionally, if you meet a potential client don’t hesitate to start moving them through your sales funnel with a free consultation.

5. Use referrals to make money quickly. People who can vouch for your work are your best salespeople. Ask them to send referrals over your way in exchange for something you’re willing to give them.

Referrals can go a long way when you need to make money quickly. Email your old clients and see if they need any work done. If they don’t need anything done, ask them to send people your way.

How to Quit Your Job Part 2: The I Need Money Excuse

HOW TO BUS THR (1)

Welcome to Part 2 of the How to Quit Your Job Series! Today we’re talking about something everyone dreads but is imperative to speeding up the process of being able to quit your job to work for yourself. Today we’re going to quiet that voice that says “I need money!” and find some ways to save so that it’s easier for you to quit your job.

I see a lot of people who want to quit their jobs and work for themselves avoiding the numbers conversation. They keep saying “I need money in order to do this” or “I need money to quit”, which is correct. The problem is they have no idea how much money they actually need or aren’t sure where to start saving.

The fact is that you may have more money than you think, so “I need money” isn’t really an excuse once you sit down with the numbers and figure it out. If you don’t do this, then you run this risk of never quitting your job. Or, if you do quit your job, you’re in for a hell of a hard time.

I told you from the beginning I’m a practical girl, and I’m delivering with practical tips. In today’s video you will learn:

  • How to find money so you no longer need it.
  • How to budget your money to prepare yourself to quit your job and work for yourself
  • How to determine how much money you need to bring in from your business in order to quit

Check out the video below. Or, you can download the MP3 by clicking here.

I Need Money Video Recap

1. Get Clear.

Whip out your financials and figure out where you stand. This includes tracking how much you have coming in and where it’s coming from. You’ll also want to keep track of how much money you’re spending and create a budget accordingly. You can use the free template below to help you begin this process:

2. Cut expenses.

Figure out what you value so you can find out where to easily cut expenses. This is how you budget your money without it feeling like a drag. Cutting your expenses also makes it a lot easier to quit sooner because you’re no longer worried about having to make as much money.

3. Get the number.

What number do you have after cutting expenses? This is what you need to make in order to quit.

I often times coach people in Make Money Your Honey Mini Sessions who are convinced that they need to make six figures in order to quit their jobs. This is not true. You just need to make enough to cover your needs after cutting unnecessary expenses. This is so much more feasible than trying to create unrealistic expectations for yourself.
