TAKING YOUR BUSINESS FULL TIME: 5 essential systems to have in place (EP#4)
Preparing to take your business full time? During my short stint in network marketing, I quit my full time ā€˜regular’ job to go full send in that business — only to make 0 money and have to go BACK to working in retail šŸ‘€ Why am I sharing this? Because once I went back into retail, I spent my spare time setting up systems inside my business so that the next time I went full time, I’d never have to fear going back. In this episode, I share my story on exactly what happened in my transition from full time retail to full time business, plus the 5 essential systems I would recommend anyone having in place BEFORE they go full time. But hey, you do you.

ATTRACTING VS DM-ING // Which is the Better Strategy? EP#2
Do you just post on instagram and let people come to you, or do you reach out and actively participate in making the sale happen? Which is better? Which is more effective? I'm chatting about all of this, plus I'm calling out any + every coach who tells you there is only ONE method you should be using (spoiler: the reason they're telling you this is so they can exploit and capitalise on that belief) In this episode: - Why coaches are trying to force you into believing one is better than the other - Misconceptions of "Attraction Marketing" and why it isn't just posting on instagram and doing nothing else - Which strategy is best for YOU - The 3 step all-around marketing strategy I would teach to beginners  Links ā¬‡ļø ACCESS THE FREESOURCE HUB FOR ADDITIONAL RESOURCES Find out about Online Business Fundamentals: The Course Collection (releasing at the end of September) Find out your Entrepreneurial Archetype (Free Quiz) Where I'm always hanging out on the internet (instagram)
