In this article I'll share with you 4 ways to create more time in your online business and even a few ideas on how to make money while protecting yourself from getting a lot of questions from your audience!

I get a ton of questions all the time and it can be hard to keep up and very overwhelming to say the least! DMs from 4 different social apps, emails, text message, comments on my posts on social media, questions on my ad posts. 

Its imperative for me to protect my time and with a family and 3 young kids, my podcast, my business, taking care of myself (meditation, working out, learning), it can be a lot!  

Here’s a few ways that I protect my time when it comes to being asked a lot of questions: 

1 – Build Lead Magnets to protect your time!

When you find yourself being asked a lot of ‘similar’ type questions, make sure you at the very least turn it into a lead magnet like a FAQ (frequently asked questions). Group all your questions...

We've never had a better time in our history for those of us who want to, can create money doing what we love in life. The key to this is understanding the Creator Economy. 

But not much more than 100 years ago during the industrial revolution, for someone to get by, they had to literally become paid slaves to corporations if they couldn't make it as a farmer. People worked 14 hour days in harsh and inhumane conditions, including children. 

Reform set in, conditions improved and the educational system was put into place to remove children from the workforce, yet train them to become future employees. For close to a decade, people followed this model of going to school, working hard, then getting a degree, then entering the work force and having a career for the rest of your life.

As the century went on, going to school became less and less predictive of financial success (less relevant) and more and more expensive. 25 years ago, I opted out of higher education because I...

Hello my friends!

Today I wanted to share an easy way that you can make it easier for your clients to do business with you: by removing barriers for them.

They say if you are just starting a workout routine, the easiest way to get in the habit of going to the gym is to get all your stuff ready the night before so you can just grab and go.

Same with prepping your meals for the week, its so much easier to eat healthy if you have planned ahead and prepared all of your meals ahead of time.

When you do this, you are removing friction from the habits that you are looking to build.

You can do the same for your clients, by removing as many steps or barriers as you can.

Here’s a few ideas on how to remove friction and barriers to doing business:

Doing business online: If you are doing business online, make sure your checkout pages and email opt in pages have as few form fields as possible.

For every data field that you add, the more likely the client will abandon that page. On your...

LinkedIn is more than just a social networking platform for professionals - it's a website within one of the largest search directories in the world!

With over 800 million users, your LinkedIn profile has the potential to make a big impact on your career and your brand.

The first thing that people will check out is your profile page, and they will do it far before doing business with you so it's important to make a good first impression. 

Here are the 7 things I look for in a profile page when I am scoping out someone's profile:

1. Make sure the headline tells what you do, who you help and how you help them. Don't just use your title.
2. Completed About Section, this is a perfect place to tell a story about YOU! You can use your story to help people relate to the same struggles they are having. 
3. Attractive headshot but not a stuffy one. I'm all for professional but make sure you don't look like a used car salesman. Make sure it reflects YOU.
4. Use the featured section to send...

As I make my rounds on LinkedIn, I can’t help but to see how many people are missing out on a key feature! 

First of all, let me do a quick shoutout to the LinkedIn profile page and all the cool things it can do compared to other platforms.  

My buddy Marcus Chan (Best Selling Author of 6 Figure Sales Secrets) calls it a ‘Swiss Army Knife’ because its such a diverse tool! 

By having a STRONG profile page, it helps me float to the top of the Google Search Rankings (that pesky University professor with the same name that has been at the top of the 16.9 million search results is DETHRONED!).  

LinkedIn itself is its own search engine, and by far the biggest for professionals, and your profile page is like a proxy website within that search engine!  

Ok back to where I was going with this, the key feature that I see people missing out on:  

Your FEATURED SECTION!  

This is in the middle of your profile page...

some newer LinkedIn updates that I’m absolutely stoked about!  

The first one is you can now add a Link to an external site in your photos/images, I love this because in this example you can see that I dropped an external link to Monica Jonsson’s Corporate Coaching Toolkit on Amazon. 

Why is this important? Because so many of us have been hiding our external links in the comments, hoping that people will see them but most of the time they get buried. 

And why were we dropping external links in the comments? Because LinkedIn appeared to demote posts with external links.  

There wasn’t a really easy way around it. 

I’ve also recently been dropping external links right in the body of posts and driving traffic off the platform and they have done far better than they used to in the ‘link hiding’ era.  

Here’s what I LOVE about this:  

LinkedIn listened to their audience and instead of fearing...

I’m putting together a LIVE 5-day challenge called the “LinkedIn ATM Machine 5-day Challenge” where I’ll be showing you exactly how my students are turning their LinkedIn profile into a client acquisition system. 

AND I’m so confident we can help, that I’m giving away everything I know at NO-COST inside of this 5-day challenge when it comes to signing up high quality, high value and high ticket clients. 

Take one of my students, Neshe for example - Within one month of working with me, she closed a $30k coaching/consulting client, then went on to close several more using my Leveraging LinkedIn strategy. She is now helping corporate clients make a bigger impact in their communities through her consulting work. 

LinkedIn is seriously one of the most underrated and untapped traffic sources I’ve been using for years, and here’s why… 

Facebook and instagram purposefully throttle your reach, making...

March 15th 2020, we all remember that timeframe when the world shut down and many of us had to pivot. Some of us had our careers completely wiped out.

For Julie Hruska, she would teach her last 'in person' class on this day, then shut down her studio 6 years prior to her existing plans.

Julie then made her pivot, she declared what she wanted to do, which was expand in a time of contraction. Then it started, full send on getting active on LinkedIn, creating content, getting active on video, networking.

Julie posted this on her LinkedIn page recently:
"2 years ago, when the world locked down, I faced the dark unknown.

As a single mother of 3 and an entrepreneur, I had to pivot quickly to keep the lights on and food on our table. It sounds dramatic, because it was.

I knew that if I didn’t quickly shift to a virtual model for my business, my coaching company wouldn’t survive and my children would suffer.

The pivot was fast, but I was committed.

There was a steep learning...

It's true, a lot of people have a big aversion to getting on a call with potential clients.

You can be the best coach in the world but if you can't sell, then you can't do what you do best.

When I even mention sales to a lot of people and ask them what comes to mind they say things like:

High pressure.
Sleazy.
Manipulative.
Hidden agenda.
Aggressive.
Never stopping.

^ Those are actually words from a live call I did where I asked that question.

So how do you sell if your gut gets an icky feeling with even mentioning sales?

Our Leveraging LinkedIn community had the honor of having Charlotte Petit Noble drop some massive value on our group about sales calls and how to feel good about them.

English is a second language for Charlotte and she says she can close sales calls with ease by adopting these 4 core beliefs:

Core Belief #1: You are the expert. You are the one that solves the problem. You are the one who can solve the pain points. 

Core...

Success to a lot of people means:

High paying job.

The career that parents wanted them to have.

A certain amount of money or net worth.

Nice car and house.

Title or status.

Beach body.

We have all been condition from when we were young, perhaps not always intentionally, but in some cases extremely targeted (advertising, media, social media and culture) on who to 'be'.

The other problem is all those things listed above are not permanent and can be taken away quickly.

We either feel like we are lacking if we aren’t there,

Or we get there and fear losing it,

Or we keep chasing after we get there.

Don’t get me wrong, those are fine things to aspire to if that is truly what you want at your core.

But start by asking what it is that you truly want aside from the influence of everything we've been told to want in life.

For me, it’s freedom, and having lots of money doesn’t...
