STEP ONE: What’s Your Goal?Before planning your challenge, you must fully understand why you’re creating it. Coaches can create and issue challenges for various purposes:

Driving sales Building mailing lists Filling Facebook groups Building relationships Many other things

What are you trying to do for your coaching business by creating this challenge?Developing a clear understanding of your goals prior to the challenge can be instrumental in achieving those goals, making the challenge itself a worthy investment of your time and energy.

Be S.M.A.R.T. With Your Goal Setting

It’s something you tell your coaching clients quite often. Use the SMART criteria for establishing goals. The same works for you.

Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time Limited

For goals to offer realistic opportunities for success, the goal must satisfy each of these parameters. So, how do you create SMART goals for your challenges?

Begin with Specificity

Be specific about what it is you plan to accomplish with this challenge. Do not attempt a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, focus on one specific problem. Make it simple to implement. Most of all make it a meaningful exercise for accomplishing your specific goal.By narrowing the focus to one specific goal and going deep beneath the surface, you can offer gritty, real material that covers the specific goal fully and leaves no room for error or failure.

Offer a Method of Measurement

It’s easy to focus so keenly on the result you desire that you miss the progress and celebrations you’ve worked hard for along the way.

SMART goal setting provides measurements for success, allowing you to remain focused on the big picture without missing out on the accomplishments you’ve made along the way.

More importantly, it helps you stay focused on meeting smaller deadlines as they approach without getting lost in the larger deadline looming later.

Keep the Goals Within Reach – Make them Achievable

It’s a fine line you walk as a coach to make challenges aggressive and beneficial for your clients without making them too easy. You must do this when setting goals for yourself as well. It’s the only way to experience a real sense of accomplishment without allowing your challenges to become so overwhelming that you give up before you can succeed.

Keep it Real – and Relevant

The specific nature of your challenge must be relevant to those goals you’ve established. Make sure the steps and tasks you assign yourself in creating challenges are worthwhile, match the purpose of your goals, and come at the appropriate place within the challenge.

Limit the Time to Complete the Challenge

There’s something about deadlines that often force people to rise to the occasion. You are no different. Not only do you need to give yourself a deadline for completing the planning of the challenge, you also need to make sure that students experience that same sense of urgency when completing the challenge ahead of their deadlines.

The other benefit of offering limited timetables for challenges is that many people place more value on something that’s only available in limited quantity or for a short amount of time. Time is a precious commodity. The more limited it is, the more valuable it is in the eyes of many beholders.

Defining your goals as a success coach gives you better direction for creating and issuing challenges to your students and will help drive your success just as you are driving theirs.

Title Ideas Task Ideas

Get creative yet make it easy to understand.

How will you measure the challenge’s success?

Ex: increased number of participants; increased engagement; increased sales, etc.

STEP TWO: Know Your Participants’ Goals

Once you’ve identified your goals, as a coach, for creating a community growing challenge, it is time to shift your focus to the goals of your challenge participants.Most participants enter a challenge with a specific pain point in mind. They are seeking the tools, skills, and tactics to ease their pain and believe your challenge will provide them. Your goal is to identify the pain point your audience is coming from and create a challenge that addresses those needs.

When you’re planning your challenge, there are a few key questions you need to ask.

What do your participants hope to gain from participating? What, precisely, do they believe they will achieve by joining your

challenge? How do you plan to give them what they are looking for, so you can

ease their points of pain?Successful challenges are the ones that effectively match their goals and help them sooth their most significant points of pain.

Your mission in creating challenges is to address these needs so everyone can enjoy phenomenal success.

Identifying Participant Goals

One effective tool you have at your disposal is the survey. Tools such as Survey Monkey and Poll Daddy will help you create surveys asking your existing pool of likely participants (aka your ideal clients) about their pain points and the issues they’d like to see your challenge address.Be careful when crafting survey questions, however, that you do not attempt to lead your participants to certain answers and instead allow them to provide honest, authentic feedback about their goals and the things they hope to achieve through participation in your challenge.It is only then that you will get the meaningful insights as to what their goals really are.

Acting on the Survey Information

Having access to the right information isn’t enough. You must create a challenge that will help your participants accomplish their goals. Just remember to provide in-depth and actionable materials so that your students feel there is real value in completing the challenge and are likely to stick to it. Remember the SMART philosophy mentioned earlier. Your challenge needs to provide your students with specific tasks to accomplish, a way to measure

their progress, the knowledge that the challenge is attainable, and that it’s relevant to their goals. Most of all, they need to feel some sense of urgency to complete the challenge, such as a time limit to gain certain rewards or a special price for participation available to students who sign up early.

Exercise: Step into your clients' shoes + state your goalsWhat are your clients’ pain points? How will your challenge help them?

Sample Survey Questions Social Media Platforms Used

Use these platforms to ask questions and get feedback.

Notes

Learn more about your target audience + never be afraid to ask what they need.

STEP THREE: Determine the Price of Participation

To charge or not to charge? That may be a question weighing heavily on your mind as you go about creating your challenge. There is no right or wrong answer. However, there are a few key details you might want to keep in mind as you consider the pros and cons of charging for your challenge or offering it free to those who wish to participate.

Pros and Cons of Offering a Free Challenge

Since the primary goal of your challenge is to grow your own community and expand your own pool of potential coaching clients, offering the course free of charge might seem like a logical and highly successful way of engaging new clients for your business.There are some definite benefits for doing so, including:

You’ll build your list faster You’ll gain new leads for your coaching services You can cast a wider net and reach larger potential audiences You get to help a larger group of people accomplish their goals You can convert tire-kickers into paying customers by offering an

impressive challengeBut before you dive in ready to go, keep these potential considerations in mind as well.

People place less value in things that are free. In other words, fewer people will complete the challenge if they didn’t pay for it.

The quality of leads for a free challenge is lower than those who are willing to pay to improve and better themselves. After all, your goal is to grow your community of students and, by extension, your business.

That doesn’t mean there is little value in offering free challenges to help grow your community, it simply means you should consider carefully before deciding the correct path for your challenge.

Explore Similar Challenges for Pricing Guidance

How do you know what to do? See what your competitors are doing. Explore similar challenges currently on the market. Buy a couple of them and compare them to yours.Obviously you’re not interested in stealing the fruits of another person’s labor, but you can use these challenges to help determine a fair price for yours and if there are opportunities to add value to your own challenge. Ask yourself these questions as you explore the options currently available:

How much do they charge?

What is included in the price? Are the challenges specific enough and thorough enough to be

effective or is there room for improvement?Then you should brainstorm the possibilities. Look for things you can add to your challenges that will add value and make it worth paying for – or paying a premium for. You might even consider some additional material as rewards for completing specific tasks or goals along the way or for an added price. These add-ons include things like:

Printables Live Q&A Sessions Personal Brainstorming or Mentoring Sessions Recorded Video Sessions Access to Exclusive Webinars

The possibilities are limitless when it comes to attracting an audience for your challenges whether you charge a fee or not. The decision is yours.

Brainstorming NotesEx: do you want to charge a fee for participating? Offer as part of a paid membership? Free to all?Ex: how much content can you realistically create?

STEP FOUR: Planning Your Compelling ContentContent reigns supreme when creating challenges that will help you and your participants achieve your goals. For you, the goal is to grow your own community of coaching prospects. It’s a worthwhile goal.

It isn’t necessary to create a ton of content for the sake of having content. The key for creating a successful challenge doesn’t lie in the quantity of content, but the quality of it. For today’s Internet audience, there’s something to be said about having a greater variety of content as well.

Types of Content to Consider for Your Challenge

Content comes in many forms including audio, video, the written word, infographics, and many more. There are many different types of content you may choose to include in your challenges to help different participants gain a greater understanding of the paths available to help them achieve their goals. Your content may include some or all of the following:

Live Video Q&A Sessions Short-Training Segments (written) Webinars Pre-Recorded Videos (scripted) Journaling Exercises Motivational Speakers Tutorials Infographics Exercises

Remember that different people have different learning styles. This means you may need to present the content in multiple formats (visual, aural, and even exercises, in addition to standard written content) to speak to all your potential audiences. The more delivery methods you employ, the broader the potential audience that will find it engaging and helpful.Once you’ve selected the format of content for various segments of your challenge, it is time to move on and begin mapping out your content in a manner that helps you and the challenge participants each achieve your goals.

These are the things your content needs to be if it’s worthy of inclusion in your challenge:

Relevant – Does it advance you and your participants toward accomplishing your goals?

Actionable – Does it inspire or require action? Meaningful – Does it add value to the challenge? Purposeful – Does it serve a specific purpose within the challenge?

Content for the sake of having content is a waste of your time and energy as well as that of your participants.

Ultimately, your content needs to provide your audience with a roadmap to follow to their intended destinations. Each subsequent module or segment of your challenge needs to inch them closer to achieving their own goals for participating. That’s great news for you. It means you don’t have to reinvent the content wheel. Instead of looking for new types of content to cover, consider going deeper with the content you’ve already created. Give them more in-depth information and insight rather than piling on a steady stream of additional information.

There’s an old adage about giving a man fish to feed him for a day, but if you teach him to fish, he’ll never go hungry again. There is truth in this saying. However, if you help him understand why fish bite, he’ll have the ability to feed others. Each step helps a hungry audience meet its goal of eating. More depth means your participants never need to be hungry again. Use your content to take your audience deeper rather than merely showing them how to cast a wider net.

STEP FIVE: Decide on Your Ideal Format and Delivery

The way you design your challenge is entirely up to you. Your comfort levels and expertise often determine how you deliver the content you offer with your challenge. Do you want to make daily delivery? Weekly? How about the format of delivery?

The possibilities are nearly endless and include the following: Facebook livestreams Facebook posts Email only Facebook discussions Facebook accountability groups Membership sites Webinars

Each one represents its own strengths and weaknesses. Plus, the total list only indicates a few of the options available to you for presenting your information.

That’s before you even consider the options you have for delivering content via:

Text Video Audio Infographics

Perhaps the biggest bit of information to consider, though, is the fact that you do not need to zero in on one single method or format of delivery for your challenges. You can use different methods of delivery to significant effect.

In fact, you can use one form of content or delivery to build upon others. Create written content that offers the meat and potatoes about how your participants can accomplish their goals while offering recorded video sessions that break this information down into greater detail.

Then you can move things forward again by offering live Q&A sessions where participants can ask questions they have. Plus, you can offer real world examples to help them visualize steps they can take to accomplish their goals.

Each step covers the same basic information while going into greater depth and detail to help your challenge participants understand the information better.

More importantly, the more tools you provide them to help accomplish their goals, the closer you draw to accomplishing your own goal of growing your community.Ultimately, that is all everyone wants from your challenge – an opportunity to grow. Your participants are hoping to grow as people, professionals, individuals, etc. You have your own goals to accomplish as well – growing your community.

Does the Format Matter?

While you may agonize over every aspect of content creation, your audience is likely to be a little less selective. They want access to the content you offer. Some participants may have preferences related to video, audio, or text, etc., but most people are happy to get the content in a manner they have access to and that works on their schedules.

Because not everyone is available during convenient hours for you to offer live Q&A sessions or webinars, it may be a more practical matter to offer recordings or transcripts in addition to the live materials. It allows you to reach a wider audience without sacrificing the potential benefit to your live audience who can actively participate in these events.

Offering a greater variety of delivery options allows your challenges to serve much larger audiences and assists you in accomplishing your goals while giving your participants the tools they need to meet their challenge goals as well. Does format or method of delivery matter? Not as much as variety in format and method of delivery.

STEP SIX: Get them to Take Action

The best challenges have one thing in common: Their participants walk away at the end with results. The idea of a challenge is to accomplish a goal but some participants get overwhelmed at the idea of BIG goals or trying to figure out how to reach that goal by themselves. Break your challenge down into daily action steps your participants can easily complete so they can move forward. You'll end up with more raving fans if you can get them to complete the challenge.

Mapping out your challenge tasks should be relatively simple since you have already identified which struggle you’re helping the participants conquer. Once you have that major goal identified, simply break down the necessary steps to reach that goal. Think of it as a step-by-step challenge where each of your tasks build upon the last to reach the final, major accomplishment.

Be a Cheerleader While Checking Accountability

Delivering your challenge tasks is easy; getting your challengers to take action is not. One reason people drop out of challenges is because they don’t have a way to report their progress or don’t feel a need to check in with the other challenge participants. Of course, some people are self-motivators and don’t need this perk but others thrive on the interaction, which can lead to networking among the participants and happier fans at the challenge’s conclusion.Facebook Groups are a tremendously popular way to keep challengers engaged and active, which helps you become their leader who can solve their problems and gives them a sneak peek at your coaching style. Setting your group as Private or Secret will encourage people to engage since their personal posts won’t be shown to all of Facebook’s users. However, your own personal effort of coming to the group every day to post encouragement or to answer questions about the challenge is what will make a difference. What happens to a group when the leader disappears, even for just a few days? Nobody talks. Action grinds to a halt and the group disbands rather quickly.

Even if your challenges are part of a membership site and only paying members can participate, you can still form a Facebook Group for accountability. Most people opt for the Facebook Groups over forums because they are so simple to set up.

Another way to encourage challengers to take action is to offer an incentive to finish the challenge. For example, Angela Wills from the Laptop Lifestyle Business Club offers a $5 PayPal credit for anyone who finishes 8 out of the 10 challenge tasks each month. Members are essentially saving $5 off their monthly membership while also making great strides with the business tasks in each challenge. It’s a win-win for both Angela and her members.

If you’re still undecided about how to proceed, make a decision and watch what happens when you actually launch. Whatever doesn’t work can always get changed next time.

STEP SEVEN: Plan How you will Get and Keep the Momentum

Keeping your community engaged with you and with each other is always a challenge which is why being consistent with your interactions is vitally important. People want to know, like, and trust you and they can’t achieve those things (which ultimately lead to new clients) unless you’re available and visible to them.When you run a challenge as part of an already-established group, you’ll have the super excited bunch who can’t wait to get finished and you’ll have the lurkers who want to know what’s going on but aren’t sure about how this challenge will benefit them. This is normal human behavior but there are ways to increase your numbers of excited challengers.

Explain the Win-Win Benefits of Your Challenge

When your challengers fully understand the benefits of your challenge and how their lives or their businesses will benefit from the challenge, they will become more excited to get started and to share their progress. Place the focus on the challengers and make them feel important. Encourage everyone to join in, even if their accountability ends up being a private email to you at the end. Describe the benefits of the networking opportunity among the group members. Better yet, encourage your challengers to team up with an accountability partner so they can check in on each other privately instead of in front of the whole challenge group.The frequency of accountability really depends on how frequently you’re publishing a new task. If your challenge is 10 days long with 10 daily exercises, then it’s reasonable to expect daily accountability. If your tasks are weekly, then it makes sense to publish a mid-week cheerleading post and accountability closer to the end of the week, especially if your weekly tasks are very involved.

Use Facebook’s Built-In Units Option for Easy Accountability

One new toy that Facebook has implemented is the use of “units” inside of Facebook Groups. When setting up the type of group you want, select the “Social Learning” option which adds the “units” tab to the group’s home page margin. When you click on that Units tab or button, all of the challenge posts appear in order and you have the option of clicking “I’m Done” when you finish the task. No more scrolling or searching to find the relevant challenge tasks. Inevitably you end up missing one or more which makes the challenge more frustrating. And no worries…after changing to Social Learning, your privacy settings remain the same, which is good news for those with Private or Secret groups.

To spur even more engagement among challengers, consider doing a daily drawing. Choose any prize you want (that won’t break the bank if you’re doing one each day) or choose a winner each day and draw a champion at the end of the challenge who receives a great prize. The choice is yours and you may have to experiment to see what’s best accepted by your audience.

Other Notes

STEP EIGHT: Fill it Up

Your challenge won't sell itself so you’ll need to prepare a comprehensive marketing plan, just as you would for a high-ticket program.

Set Up an Affiliate Program

We all know how valuable affiliates can be for making sales. Just think of how easy it would be for your affiliates to promote your challenge!

“Wait…what? Why would my affiliates promote a free challenge for me?” Yes, that’s a legitimate question but here’s the easy answer: even though the challenge is free, if that challenger buys any of your coaching packages or products when the challenge is done, that affiliate still earns a commission.

Depending on which affiliate program software you use, you can set the cookies to any time frame you want. Let’s choose a one year time limit. Affiliate Sandy refers someone to your free challenge but then six months later that same challenger decides she wants to buy a group coaching package. Affiliate Sandy would still get the referral fee because your challenger made the purchase before the one year cookie limit expired. Explain that benefit to all your affiliates and they will be excited to promote your challenge.

Introduce Yourself with Video

Video marketing is hot, hot, hot right now and what better way than to introduce yourself to brand new followers. In one short video they can see you, hear you, and decide if they like your style enough to join your challenge. It may not be a fair representation of who you are as a person but you only have a couple of minutes tops to make a great first impression.

Upload the video to your YouTube Channel; add to Instagram and Facebook; embed the video in a blog post on your site; film a separate Facebook Live, and send a link to your email list (some autoresponders let you embed the video right into your template). Always ask your current followers to leave comments and to share the video with their circles. Inevitably a few people in these outer circles will like what they see and want more from you.

Spread the News Among Your Real Life Connections

Don’t limit yourself to networking strictly online; real life connections may have an interest in your business and your challenge, too, but they can’t participate if they don’t know about it. Sending these contacts a personal email or direct message is one way encourage them to join your group, especially if they have hesitated in the past. Your challenge might be the exact tool they’ve been looking for to solve their problem.

Other ways to market your challenge include: publish on social media; participate in other social media groups or communities; Facebook Ads; write consistent blog posts with SEO in mind; search out interview opportunities; approach influencers about promoting your challenge (make the offer of becoming an affiliate); and approach popular bloggers who also serve your audience.

Notes

Always track your results: when you wrote your blog post, did you get any comments? Did your email list subscribers or challenge group membership increase?

When you promoted on social media, what was the response from your audience?

STEP NINE: What's Next?

After the challenge is complete, it's important to have a plan for what you'll lead your participants into next. Don’t just assume they’ll stick around or stay active with you on social media. Plan out your sales funnel along with what kind of content you’ll continue to share for best results.

What is a Sales Funnel

A sales funnel is a pathway that guides your prospects toward your other products and packages. Think of an inverted triangle where the widest part is at the top and a tiny point is at the bottom. At the top of the funnel is where your free items are to attract the most prospects. These include blog posts, email newsletters, short reports, and challenges.

As the sales funnel gets narrower, this is where your paid products come into play. Always offer your paid products in a natural progression to avoid sticker shock and to allow yourself time to develop these relationships with your prospects. Instead of offering your challengers a VIP Day worth hundreds of dollars, guide them to your eBook, audio class, or a group coaching program.The smallest tip of your sales funnel is where your most expensive product or package is offered. Some people will leave your funnel before this point, others will hang out above this point because it’s where they are most comfortable spending money. Take extra care with the people who make it all the way down your funnel because they know you best after sampling most of your paid offerings and they are the ones who will become your best referral sources or affiliates.

Analyzing Your Sales Funnel Leaks

Keep in mind people will take their time traveling down your sales funnel. It’s not a race to the finish line; it’s time to develop a relationship with these prospects so they feel comfortable spending their money with you. If your passion for helping others and for sharing your expertise shines through authentically, then you’re on the right pathway.

Naturally people will change their mind about you or your products and will exit your sales funnel. This can happen at any point in the sales process but it’s important to understand where you have leaks and why people are leaving.

A certain percentage of those people will simply just change their minds. You can’t please everyone so don’t take these rejections too personally. But if you find looking at your records that you have hundreds of people getting your eBook or other mid-priced items but then they stop purchasing altogether or they unsubscribe from your list in droves, there’s a bigger issue with your funnel.

Check out your pricing. Is it a logical financial jump from your mid-level pricing to higher priced packages? Check out the relevance of the next product or package. Is it a logical next step in progression or does it seem random, like you’re just trying to make a sale? Relationship marketing doesn’t happen overnight; it takes time and patience.

You’ve invested thousands of dollars and hours (maybe even hundreds of thousands) in learning how to make money online (product launches, list building, webinars, course creation) and you’ve got a few things figured out but you constantly feel scattered and unsure what you should be doing to finally feel successful.

You want consistent monthly income from multiple sources without having to work so damn hard.

You want your business to be fun again.

You want enough time freedom to enjoy the things you love (self-care, learning, traveling, family).

Most of all you want to feel empowered that it is possible for YOU to BE the change in the world AND be very well paid for it.

Profit is more than just money.

It’s not about helping you just set up multiple bank accounts.

You don’t want to lose your health to gain wealth.

You don’t want to outserve your sanity.

You can choose to have it all.

P.R.O.F.I.T.S. is comprised of 7 elements.

lay with Possibilities

Did you know that the moment you connected with the idea for your business a new energetic entity was created?

That new entity is not you.

When you play with possibilities you connect with the energy of what’s possible as a co-creation with the Universe.

This is not to time to plan to play small.

When you play with possibilities, plan for big, amazing things beyond what you think is possible for you now.

Isn’t it time to acknowledge you want it all WITHOUT working any harder.

In order to have that you need a partner who believes in you and holds a space that is big enough for you, your dreams, and your possibilities.

You need someone who can see the ‘big picture’ of your possibility and help you chart the easiest path to actualizing that possibility.

You need someone to gently catch when you collapse into the limitations of ‘time and reality’ and invite you back into the possibilities.

Here in the Expand Your Impact Community we customize Profit Plans to help people take their dreams and turn them into a profitable reality.

Then we use a P.R.O.F.I.T.S Planner to keep track of the quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily and hourly tasks that need to be completed. Our P.R.O.F.I.T.S. Planner is designed to keep you tapped into the energy, space and consciousness you, your body & your business must be to actualize these possibilities.

eceive

Are you willing to receive gratitude and success?

Are you willing to receive the greatness of you? (and stop believing in your wrongness)?

Your ability to receive is essential to the success of your business.

Receiving includes your ability to receive all the good things in life, and it goes far beyond that.

It includes your ability to receive everything - the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.

You have to be willing to receive money and you have to be willing to receive no money.

You have to be willing to receive admiration, appreciation and gifts.

You have to be willing to receive information and other people's points of view.

You have to be willing to receive praise and approval and you have to be willing to receive criticism and judgement.

You have to be willing to receive your business being successful or your business not being successful.

You have to be willing to receive all of it, absolutely all of it, and not be vested in the outcome.

True receiving is immensely profound, as it affects your ability to perceive, to know and to even be.

Say that you've decided that you're right about something and you're not willing to receive other information or perspectives.

You won't be able to perceive what's possible beyond your limited viewpoint.

If you can't perceive, you cut off your knowing.

And if you cut off your knowing, you cut off your awareness and your presence, which is who and what you are.

You can't be you.

To be successful in business you must be able to receive, perceive, know and be.

The willingness to receive is the key to being able to do this.

There is a huge sense of vulnerability involved in receiving everything, including the greatness that each one of us be.

The world looks very different when you are open to receiving.

Here in the Expand Your Impact Community we'll specifically we focus on the tools of Access Consciousness including Access Bars to help you receive from everything and judge nothing, especially yourself.

rganize into Systems

Are you too busy earning a living to make any money?Are you tired of giving up your sacred creation time to attend to the boring duties of running a business?

If the numbers aren't adding up, maybe it's time you discovered the real value of your time so you can stop undercharging your offers, hire the help you need, and even take time off. Need to know your numbers? Check out our Income Calculator.

Understanding the systems you need to set up in your business will allow you to hire the team members needed to support you and scale your success with total ease.

Here in the Expand Your Impact Community we'll share how others are creating systems and structures to support them in hiring team, whether it's through our P.R.O.F.I.T. Planners or Virtual Training Programs.

ollow the Energy

Have you gotten stuck in a conventional way of doing business that feels limited, dull and unprofitable?

It doesn't have to be that way.

What if doing business could be creative, generative and joyful?

Learning how to 'Follow the Energy' includes asking questions, playing with exercises, tools and processes that can give you another perspective on how you can create your business and your life.

Following the energy doesn't mean doing business as usual and usually doesn't make any logical sense but most who learn to master this end up having WAY too much fun!

Entrepreneurs often have trouble coordinating all the different parts of their business and they worry they can't keep up with everything.

Does this describe you?

Contrary to what you may think, getting super organized is NOT the answer.

This is where you have to follow the energy and function from the infinite space of you.

Here is the Expand Your Impact Community we'll share tools, exercises and processes that will help you find the flow that allows you to be more creative, generative and joyful!

mplementation

How much do you judge yourself for how much you haven't accomplished?

Or perhaps you beat yourself up because you're afraid of 'doing it wrong'!

Implementation is the process that turns strategies and plans into actions in order to accomplish strategic objectives and goals.

Implementing your strategic plan is as important, or even more important, than your strategy.

A strategic plan provides a business with the roadmap it needs to pursue a specific strategic direction and set of performance goals, deliver customer value, and be successful.

However, this is just a plan; it doesn't guarantee that the desired performance is reached any more than having a roadmap guarantees the traveler arrives at the desired destination.

Here in the Expand Your Impact Community we'll provide you with the step-by-step instructions you need to get more done in less time!

rust in Your Team

Do you work hard but feel like you can't seem to get ahead no matter what you do?

What if you employed the universe and asked it to contribute to you?

The universe is here to assist you. If you ask...it will deliver.

Here's where we focus on hiring and activating the universe and our energetic team as well as 'this reality' team members that are required to step us into the Million Dollar CEO's we truly be.

You don't have to do everything in your business yourself. It's time for you to release the hold you have on the little things (email, tech stuff, and even housework), and allow yourself to be nurtured by others so you can pursue your heart's calling.

Here in the Expand Your Impact Community we'll provide you with standard operating procedures (SOP), worksheets, checklists and swipe files that will assist you in having way more fun than you ever thought possible and empower others to have way more fun doing the things they love to do.

top Separating & Rejecting

Have you ever wondered what is keeping you from the life you desire and from what you know is possible?

You are the only one powerful enough to stop you.

Are you stopping yourself by creating separations and rejections of yourself and others?

They’re one of our favorite ways of judging, filtering and putting our blinders on to what is really going on around us and to what is actually true and possible in our lives.

Separations and rejections are the barriers we put up between ourselves and others so that we can never truly have or be the caring, the kindness, the allowance, the gratitude, the vulnerability and the honoring that would create something far greater.

It is the way we refuse to receive dynamically.

What reasons do you have to reject someone or something? Have you decided that separating and rejecting is the only way that you get to choose for you? Are you really choosing for you, or are you just choosing against someone else’s point of view?

Without separations and rejections, you would not cut off the caring you actually have available for yourself, others or for the planet, and you would create very different results in your life than the ones you are currently experiencing.

Would allowing yourself to care that much kill you? No, what kills you is the destruction you do of you with the separations and rejections you choose to make real.

Because unfortunately, every time you separate from or reject someone or something else, you separate from and reject you dynamically.

If you would choose to live your life without separations & rejections, the ease, joy, awareness and possibility that would be created in your world would astound you.

Are you willing to have your life be that wonderful?

You’re not like everyone else.

There's actually NOTHING wrong with you! (Even if sometimes you feel like it!)

That’s why all the other gurus products sit on your shelf or in folders on your computer and distract you with feelings of guilt, shame and hopelessness.

It’s time to learn how being you and really change the world.

If you'd like to be in business and create and generate something entirely different for yourself and the planet then you're in the right place.
