Here is a TEASER of the next free gift I'll be sending to all YYC Fempreneurs on January 12th, 2022 - a PDF copy of my Top 20 list with clickable links to all these goodies and more...
Lyndsie's Top 20 List for 2022
1. Get into a group coaching program led by someone who has proof in the pudding - someone who has achieved things you want to achieve.
Other important factors:
- Make sure there is also some one-on-one coaching included with the leader as well as interaction with the other group members.
- If you don’t pay money for the coaching program, there’s a good chance you won’t work as hard
Check out the 90 Day Leadership & Marketing Program for Fempreneurs, led by me, at www.yycfempreneurs.com/program!
2. Fees - they are a cost of doing business. Get over it. You are losing money and credibility the longer you wait to set up your online payment infrastructure. Do it today at www.stripe.com.
Note: you do not pay a monthly or annual fee to have a payment system at www.stripe.com (similar to www.paypal.com, but better, in my opinion) or at www.squareup.com. You will only pay a small fee each time you process a transaction, meaning unless you get paid, you don’t pay a fee. Fair, right?
What I love most about Stripe and SquareUp (I use both) is that you can send a payment link via text or instant message, plus you can embed that same link in a button or image on your website, so you can get paid while you’re sleeping or walking your dog. You can also add the *FREE* SquareUp booking/appointments feature to your profile and voila - people can book either free or paid meetings with you anytime! If you want to see this live in action, go to www.yycfempreneurs.com/schedule.
3. You need a website. Saying you aren’t ready for a website means you are either playing small, meaning you don’t plan on your business and income growing rapidly and steadily in 2022, or you don’t realize how inexpensive a website plan is. Here are the steps to setting up your fabulous website set up and making sure your message is crystal clear:
*BONUS* Website Essentials
(This is a little taste of what’s in the new 90-Day Planner *and Program* I created for you - everything you need to grow your community TONS in 2022…)
Your website MUST have the following six components on the home page - each of these is or is followed by a link to TAKE ACTION:
- FREE WELCOME GIFT. This could also be a link to a free event, specifically, the sign up page/landing page where they enter their information to be added to the guest list. For FREE landing pages, I use www.mailchimp.com.
- WELCOME VIDEO. This is you introducing yourself and explaining how they can get the most from what you have to offer and your community in five minutes or less.
- TESTIMONIAL VIDEO OR QUOTE. Let your happy customers do the marketing for you!
- CONTACT. This is simply a form where they can ask a question or request a meeting with you.
- LOW PRICE OFFER.
- MEDIUM-HIGH PRICE OFFER.
***All of these should be tabs as well. If this doesn’t make sense, have a look at my homepage: www.yycfempreneurs.com.
4. Listen To Podcasts! These are the two that I wish I would have started listening to loooong before I did:
The Tim Ferriss Show
Smart Passive Income (Pat Flynn)
You can find two of my favourite books, one by Tim Ferriss and the other by Pat Flynn, and all my other favourite books, at www.yycfempreneurs.com/goodreads.
5. Take Podcast Breaks. Pay attention to when you are feeling like your to-do list is long enough and choose to NOT be inspired by the latest podcast episode by your favourite host- yes, this includes the Fempreneur Marketing Podcast!!
I’ve been on a Podcast Break for over a month now (other than listening to the Joe Rogan Experience with my son, of course!) because it has been very clear to me for a while now I have so much stuff to share with y’all - tons of valuable PROVEN EFFECTIVE strategies and steps I want all of you reading this to learn and implement. This Podcast Break served all of you well because it became the 90-Day Leadership + Marketing Planner for Fempreneurs - 265 pages of very clear and pacific action steps that I pulled from what’s worked for me. The planner then became the new 90-Day Program for Fempreneurs who want to grow their community & income. Now the Journal is underway and will be ready for your journaling pleasure (with BONUS weekly accelerator exercises) on or shortly after January 1st 2022!
Trust me, do not give in to FOMO when it comes to taking on new knowledge when there is SO MUCH AWESOMENESS already on your to-do list. Switch from a mix of input and output mode to STRICTLY OUTPUT MODE for at least 3 weeks every 90 days. Your community and income will grow, as long as you keep sharing with all of us (your followers and fans) what you’re cooking up before it’s ready!!
Another example of what’s happening in early 2022, as I continue on my output-only path, is the new Reality TV Show, which will be called something awesome, of course including the word “Fempreneurs”!!! (Stay tuned by staying on the community email list! Sign up at www.yycfempreneurs.com/member.)
6. Write a book. It doesn’t have to be an actual 300+ page book. It does need to be about a 100-120 page guidebook or workbook. Having a book for sale on Amazon is a HUGE credibility booster. It’s not even fair or right how much it will boost your credibility. What is truly magical, even more magical than how others will view you, is:
ONCE YOU HAVE A BOOK ON AMAZON, YOUR CONFIDENCE LEVEL WILL RISE. NOT A LITTLE BIT - A LOT.
That’s why I took my proven marketing education system - Fempreneur Marketing School - and combined it with my ability to help Fempreneurs write and self-publish a book (I have helped three women do this as of December 2021, plus I've put 5 of my own books on Amazon!), to offer you the 90-Day Leadership and Marketing Program (if the January 12th program is in the past by the time you're reading this, the next one will be here: yycfempreneurs.com/program.) It will be an intense 90 days, but you will achieve more than you ever thought possible and you’ll do it with8 other Fempreneurs by your side, cheering you on.
Check out these books by three of my FemAuthor Grads:
- How To Get Out Of An Abusive Relationship With Yourself by Carey Wilkinson Lee
- The Unexpected Entrepreneur by Noreen Music
- Don’t Stay A Secret by Felicia Yap
7. Document your life -
