The 10 Essential Keys To A Divine Feminine Lifestyle Business

10 Essential Keys To A Divine Feminine Lifestyle BusinessOver the past couple of weeks, I’ve often been asked what was the inspiration behind my interview series, 6-Figure Secrets Of Divine Feminine Entrepreneurs.

The answer can be summed up in that now-famous quote by the Dalai Lama: “The world will be saved by the Western woman.” I believe it to be true… and what’s more, I believe that spiritual women entrepreneurs are the ones poised to have the greatest impact and make the biggest difference. But… we don’t want to give up our relationships, our self-care, our lives to do it.

So I coined the term “Divine Feminine Lifestyle Business” to describe a business that…

  • Creates a generous in-come (think 6-figures or more)
  • Creates a big contribution. Women business owners giving back.
  • Truly supports you and your feminine spirit.
  • Truly supports the life you wish to live.

When I asked myself, what does it really take to create a business that hits the “sweet spot” of all four elements above, certain key pieces immediately came to mind. Here’s a quick checklist of the 10 essential components you’ll need:

1. Solve a pressing problem for a specific person. Yes, I’m talking about – say it with me now! – your niche. It’s important to have a compelling niche because people invest in problems they want solved. If you’ve been hearing, “Sounds great, but…” from your potential clients chances are, you’re not solving a problem that’s pressing enough for your peeps.

2. High-end offers. Offering 1-on-1 work at low fees (or giving away too much of your time) is a recipe for burnout, frustration and resentment. It’s also a guaranteed way to keep yourself stuck at a low income level.

One of the biggest mistakes spiritual entrepreneurs make is thinking they’re “not ready” to create a high-end program. Truth is, your high-end offer is what you want to launch first, in order to generate cash flow and guarantee that you work with ONLY highly motivated, committed clients.

3. A business model with multiple streams of income. Even 10 Platinum clients can tap you out quickly, especially if you only want to work 20-30 hours per week. Offering your service in different formats such as teleseminars, group programs and information products allows you to serve more people, without a cap on your time and income.

4. At least one leveraged offer, such as a group program, information product or membership site. In addition to more income in less time, leveraged offers allow you to help people at different points on their path.

5. High-service team. Hear me now, ladies – you can’t do it all yourself. Nobody creates a 6-figure business alone… and quite frankly, why would you want to? Build your team early and if it feels hard, stop and receive support.

6. Systems. Truth is, certain tasks need to happen in your business consistently in order for you to generate in’come, such as marketing, follow-up and client care. You need systems to make sure that they don’t fall through the cracks. The beauty of systems? They can be handed off to someone else, freeing you up for your brilliant work.

7. Your email list. While you don’t need a big list to create multi-six-figures (I’m living proof), at some point you’ll want the leverage that a list of ideal, qualified potential clients gives you. While you don’t want to put your email list before creating in’come, you do want to give it serious attention if you wish to create a business that generates a lot of in’come without you having to work all the time.

8. Strategic alliances. A single partnership with the right strategic alliance can fill your business with clients, add thousands to your email list, and much more. No matter where you are in your business, start creating these relationships now. And if you know some movers and shakers already, now is the time to ask, “How can I create a win-win-win partnership?”

9. Extreme self-care. You can’t give when your cup is empty… or when you’re constantly responding and reacting to every quote-unquote “emergency.” Instead, practice extreme self-care and put yourself first. (I first learned this valuable lesson from a multi-six-figure mentor who freely admitted to putting herself before her kids and her husband.)

10. A “goddess state of mind.” Many spiritual women solopreneurs carry a deep-seated lack of deserving. This completely undermines your ability to receive and serve. Instead, flex your receiving muscle and expand your wealth consciousness by practicing a goddess state of mind using this simple question throughout the day: “Is this fit for a goddess?”

Treating yourself like the goddess that you are will uplevel your experiences, raise your standards and expand your sense of authentic possibility!

6-Figure Secrets Of Divine Feminine Entrepreneurs

Ever wish you knew the secret to making 6-figures (or even 7-figures) in income AND impact in your business… WITHOUT having to work 80 hours per week, neglecting your own self care, and never taking a vacation?

Wouldn’t it be great to learn from the women who have done EXACTLY that?

If your heart is saying YES to these questions, I’m thrilled… because the all-new, NO-COST interview series I’ve created is just for you…

)

Let me share how it all started… (it’s a great story, actually – I think you’ll appreciate this!)

It’s no secret that many women in business are overworked, overwhelmed, and burnt out.  Creating a business takes a lot of focus, drive and inner resources that are more masculine in nature.  (That’s neither good nor bad – it’s just energetic.)

Problem is, hanging out in this masculine energetic space all the time leaves women disconnected from their Feminine, tired, drained and deeply unsatisfied.

I know because that’s exactly what happened to me.  I had completely immersed myself in the hardcore internet marketing world, trying to learn what I needed to learn to get my business going.  And while I enjoyed it (and still do!)… something was “off.”  But I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what it was.

My wake-up call came at a workshop.  (Ever been to one like that?)

At that time, I had been going in circles in my business for far too long… I was starting to get clients and make some mo’ney, but… it felt like I was pushing a boulder uphill, you know?

So I went to this workshop, not knowing what to expect.  The workshop title said something about a “spa day” and I’m thinking, okay, cool, I could use a little pampering.

Let me tell you – I had NO idea what I was in for!

When the leader came out, I was floored… she was completely radiant… comfortable in her own skin… firmly in her power.

I literally thought, “Holy crap… I want that.” (Yes, I’m being really transparent here!)

Now here’s the thing….

What she said when she first spoke are words I still remember over 2 and a half years later… and they’re words I’ll never forget.

Those words set me on a journey… to figure out how to “do business” in a new way that was authentic to me… that got my purpose into the world in a BIG way (which of course includes a big income – 6-figures-plus)… and that wouldn’t cost me my Feminine essence.

Ultimately, those words led me to where I am today… and the big vision I’m committed to.

Would you like to know what she said? ;)

You’re in luck, because she, along with the rest of my personal Divine Feminine mentors (plus amazing women I’ve met along the way!) will be sharing her wisdom with you in this high-content, all-F’R'EE interview series.

Many spirited, heart-centered entrepreneurs believe that you have to have a huge list to successfully launch a new product or program. (And why wouldn’t they? It’s what all the marketing gurus tell us, no?)

Thing is, it’s just not true!

Over the past year, I’ve had multiple 5-figure+ launches of new programs and services. The kicker? My list size is still well under 1000 – yes, really!

In this call, I’ll reveal a few of my best kept secrets, and yes, bust a few myths along the way. You’ll learn:

1) The biggest “launch myths” most spirited entrepreneurs buy into that set them up to fail

2) How to beat the “Ta Da!” syndrome (where you pour your heart and soul into a new offer, present it to your peeps with a “Ta Da!” and nobody buys)

3) The one thing your launch MUST have to be successful (without this, it’s just not happenin’)

4) The 5 key mistakes that keeps spirited entrepreneurs from making money from their launches – and what to do instead

5) How to set your launch numbers (what’s realistic, what’s pie-in-the-sky)

6) Simple, empowering mindset shifts that make the difference between a launch that fizzles and a launch that sells out

Is Your Business Model Setting You Up For Success… Or Failure?

Every business has a business model, including yours! The question is, does your business model allow you to create incredible income while serving lots of your choice clients, or… not?

If you’re like most of these business owners, you started in business by hanging out your shingle and serving clients one-on-one.   Working 1-on-1 is the prevailing business model for self-employed service businesses, including spirit-rich, purpose-driven owners like coaches, metaphysical consultants, designers, and healers.

Trouble is, in the 1-on-1 business model, you’re always limited by one key factor: your time. When you’re out of time, you’ve also capped your income… and you’re overwhelmed and exhausted to boot.  Not good!

Luckily, the problem of 1-on-1 burnout is completely avoidable… with the right business model. A robust business model will grow with you (instead of breaking down), frees up your time, and creates generous income for you.  Best of all, the right business model helps you transform more lives while actually working less.

To help you get started shifting your business model from one that drains you to one that sustains you… and so much more, here are some quick tips taken from the proven business model planning system I share with my clients, The Profit PyramidTM….

Tip #1. Select your income streams. You’ll want a variety of income streams and price points, starting with freebies (articles, free teleseminar, mini audio courses, short video tips) all the way up to high-end offerings.  By creating offers at different price points, you’ll give many more people the opportunity to be served by your work AND create more opportunity to receive income for that transformation.

Bonus tip: Create your income streams using the “rinse and repeat” strategy. Start with one signature system – your expertise packaged into a step-by-step system that your clients can easily follow to get results.  (Examples: one of my signature systems is The Abundant Business System, another is Clients & Cash Flow Secrets.)  Then offer your signature system in a variety of formats, such as a teleseminar series, a 1-day intensive, a 30-day bootcamp, and more.  Creating a signature system and offering it in a variety of formats keeps you from burning out on creating new content and provides “readymade” income streams that you can tailor to your clients and situation.

Tip #2. Always know what comes next. Part of the beauty of a correctly designed multiple streams model is that it creates leverage – big results (income) through very little effort (your time, energy and money).  To get leverage, one stream of income must flow into the next, into the next.  The design can be summed up in a simple question: “What comes next?”

All too often, solo business owners create an offer, get a few clients, then complete the work… with no next step.  There is almost always an opportunity to serve your clients again – additional support, deeper work, solving a new problem.  Ask the question “what comes next?” after each offer and make sure you have a new offer to solve that problem.

Bonus tip: Know where 1-on-1 fits into your business model. Does creating multiple streams mean you have to give up the juicy 1-on-1 work you love?  No!  But you do need to know where it goes in your plan: your most exclusive, biggest ticket offers.   Your 1-on-1 time is of the highest value in your business – treat it accordingly.

Tip #3. Focus on your big-ticket (high-end) offer first. One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when getting started with multiple streams of income, passive and leveraged income is… they spend waaaay too much time on freebies and lower-end offers.   They spend all their time on “the small stuff,” run out of clients & cash… then panic.

Instead, focus on the offers that will bring in immediate income first, such as a well-designed higher end program or VIP mentoring day.  Note that this might mean getting a little uncomfortable, as it involves reaching out to clients, having a conversation and asking for the business.  Remember, you help no one when you hide your light under a bushel!  When you come from a place of true service, your clients will appreciate your sincerity and are much more likely to say yes to your offers.

When is the best time to implement the right business model?  Right now! Even if you’re brand new in your business, now is the time to put your multiple streams of income business model in place.  Your multiple streams business model is critical to creating the impact and income you want while maintaining time and financial freedom in your life – don’t put it off!
