Strategic Plan - The Map to Results

Strategic Planning Improves Results with Consistent Implementation



Strategic planning only helps organizations when they are kept active and implemented.  The strategic plan defines the business direction.  That direction is based on the future, the vision of the company.  Before an effective strategic plan can be developed a clear and compelling vision is needed.





Visions are optimistic, the ideal picture of the future. 



The strategic plan that results from the leadership team’s strategic planning, is the map to that vision and then it is only effective if it is implemented.



Strategic plan can sound intimidating and overwhelming to many small business owners.  The most effective strategic plans are those that are simple, completed with the leadership team and key people in the company.  Complex documents that consume excessive amounts of time to create don’t guarantee success.



In fact, the large and cumbersome strategic plan can be so overwhelming that it just doesn’t work.  Strategic planning sessions that go on and on for months also fail because so much time is consumed in the planning and the implementation, which is the key, is pushed aside.  The goal to have the perfect strategic plan doesn’t produce results.  Instead, the team that engages in strategic planning and produces a good working document is more likely to succeed.



Mapping Your Vision:





Start with vision.  Write down what you envision for the future.  What does the future of your business look like?  What do you want for the future? Vision stories are inspiring, it’s your dream.  Once you have created your vision you can begin building strategies.



The vision is the destination, where you are going.  The strategies are the map that gets you to the vision.  Company values are the guide or the “compass” in our map metaphor for making decisions along the way.  Values keep you oriented and in alignment.  When values are out of alignment the company is off track; not moving in the direction of the vision.



Strategic goals can be limited to the top 6-10.  By having fewer goals the plan is able to stay alive and in front of you and the team.  By alive, it means that the plan is always where you can see it, use it and keep working on it.  It means that the team is focused on the strategic goals at all times, talking about them, brainstorming on them and reporting to each other their successes and challenges.



To set strategies for your business first look at the vision, the different aspects of the vision.



Brainstorm all of the goals, all of the strategies for each aspect of the vision.  With brainstorming it is important to get all of the ideas out and write them down without judging them or editing them.  Often the best idea comes from an idea that at first look seemed too wild or crazy.  Ideas jump off of other ideas.



Once you have brainstormed all of the possible goals, prioritize them. Often strategic goals can be grouped with similar strategies.  This can help in the prioritization process.  The goal is to narrow the list down to the top 6-10 strategies.  What are the goals or strategies that will give your business the future you envision, that will create a breakthrough that will produce the results that you want?  Those are the goals that you should be selecting as top priorities.



Creating a powerful strategic plan is just one of the first steps.  Many organizations have strategic plans that are well thought out and crafted.  Where they fall short is in the implementation of that plan.



Strategic Plans Only Work When Implemented



key to strategic planning

Implementation is the key.  If you fail to implement, the results will not be what you set out to achieve.



Implementation is the result of focused and continuous action.  Strategic plans don’t just happen on their own: they require your attention.  By keeping the plan in front of you and the team responsible for the plan, focus is maintained.  Regular meetings about the plan also keep the plan moving in the right direction.  Check-in meetings hold people accountable.  When teams don’t meet and don’t keep their eye on the plan, the day to day interferes and the status quo remains.



Strategic plans don’t just happen on their own: they require your attention

Donna Lynn Price

In order to make changes in the results that you achieve there has to be intention and commitment on the part of the team. The check-in meeting gives the team the opportunity to review what is happening, what is interfering with the results they want and need and make the changes necessary to change the outcomes.  Through the intention of the leadership, the plan and the team, the culture of the workplace can shift from one of non-performance to one of performance focused.



Performance focused companies are companies that are thriving. The energy of high performing teams shifts the energy of the whole organization.  It becomes more positive and contagious.  People become excited about the vision, the plan and their implementation of the plan.  Results create energy and excitement that keeps the plan moving, it propels the plan and the ultimate results of the company.



Organizations that produce results have a clear vision of the future; have a plan that is simple and strategic; and they work on the plan all the time.  Their actions are designed to move that plan forward.  They don’t let themselves or others get in the way. Through effective strategic planning and by implementing the strategic plan organizations achieve results.



Creating a strategic plan can be the first action towards growing your company with focus and intention. But as you can see, it takes some thought and then it takes consistent and persistent action. It does not work if it sits on the shelf. Your company does not grow when you are not focused on that growth.

Are you looking to enhance your business's success path?





Wondering how a membership site could benefit your entrepreneurial journey?

In a recent episode of the "Womenpreneur's Success Path" series by Donna Price, the key benefits of having a membership site were discussed.



Let's dive into the insights shared and explore how a membership site can be a game-changer for your business.



- Continuous Profits: One of the standout benefits is the opportunity to market your offerings once and continue to profit from them. Similar to how a gym membership generates monthly revenue, a membership site offers the prospect of ongoing income without the need for constant marketing efforts. This continuity lays the foundation for sustained profitability and business growth.

- Predictable, Stable Income: By charging a monthly fee for membership access, you can establish a reliable stream of income. This stability serves as a financial cushion, allowing you to focus on expanding your business and welcoming new sales without solely relying on one-time transactions.

- Builds Loyalty: A membership program offers a unique chance to cultivate loyalty among your customer base. Whether it is a complimentary addition to a product or service or a standalone offering, a well-crafted membership site can serve as a testament to your commitment to customer satisfaction.

- Rewards Loyalty: Membership sites provide an avenue to reward the loyalty of your customers by granting them exclusive access to specialized content and perks. By incorporating tiered membership levels, you can further incentivize long-term commitment and engagement.

- Strengthens Relationships: Harnessing the power of a membership site allows you to forge and sustain enduring relationships with your customers. You can offer tailored incentives to top clients, fostering their continued patronage and advocacy for your brand.

- Value Provision: Through a membership site, you can consistently provide value to your members by sharing your expertise through various mediums such as newsletters, blogs, articles, videos, and audios. This continual act of providing enriching content bolsters member retention and turns into a reliable source of revenue.

https://youtube.com/live/DOk-yKRXPEA?feature=share

With the foundation laid out by Donna Price, it's clear that a membership site can be a catalyst for revitalizing your business dynamics. However, the real magic happens when you tailor the concept to fit your unique business and customer base. Imagine a scenario where your customers are not just interested buyers but valued members, reaping the benefits of your exclusive community.



So, if you're ready to explore the potential of a membership site for your business, consider the following action steps:



- Assess Your Business: Evaluate your current offerings and customer base to identify the potential for a membership site. Which exclusive benefits and resources can you offer to your members?

- Create a Value-Driven Plan: Devise a plan for offering unparalleled value to your members through specialized content, perks, and ongoing engagement strategies.

- Implement Loyalty Rewards: Incorporate tiered membership levels and exclusive access to incentivize loyalty and long-term commitment from your customers.

- Sustain Engagement: Focus on methods to continuously engage with your members, ensuring that the value you provide translates into enduring relationships.

- Accelerate Your Membership Strategy: Reach out to consultants or experts in the field to brainstorm ideas and create an action plan for launching and sustaining a successful membership program.
Incorporating a membership site into your business model can redefine the way you interact with your customers and elevate your revenue streams. As you embark on this journey, remember that the key lies in consistently providing exceptional value and experiences to your members, cultivating a loyal and thriving community.

If you're genuinely motivated to transform your business dynamics and elevate your success path, it's time to embark on this remarkable journey. Let's dive into the realm of membership sites and craft an enduring legacy for your business.

5 Ways to Create Backend Income From Your Membership Site

Strategies for Increasing Income with a Membership Program



backend income strategies

Many people mistakenly believe that their membership site income only comes from the monthly subscriptions that they receive. This is far from the truth. There are several different ways that you can make backend income from your membership site. Here are some ideas to help you turn your site into a profit-pulling machine:



1. Promote affiliate offers



Affiliate marketing works really well within the membership site model because you've built up trust with your audience. They've seen your monthly content and know that you offer quality. They will trust your recommendations because you've offered good content in the past. Choose affiliate offers that tie directly into popular topics within your membership site. E-books, video courses and short reports will add value for your members and boost your backend sales. Send an e-mail article to your membership site members with good content and a link to the recommended product.



2. Sell advertising



You can charge a small fee per month to existing members or outside advertisers to display their text ads or display ads on your site or in your newsletter or solo emails. You can display advertising in the sidebars and just under the header of your membership site. Search for advertising directories to list the advertising space and add the offer to your signature file in forums that you visit. You'll start to see advertising dollars start to roll in the more you publicize the offer.



3. Offer personalized coaching



No matter how much instruction you provide inside of the membership forum, there will always be people who will want something a bit more hands on. You can offer exclusive one-on-one coaching for members who want that extra help. You can charge this as a one-time fee or as a additional monthly subscription (sort of like a membership site within a membership site). Alternatively, you can offer video calls or tele-conference calls for membership site members for a small additional fee.



4. Sell your own advanced products



There are bound to be topics within your membership site that deserve special attention. You can make backend sales by creating products around these topics and offering them to your members. For example, if you're running a membership site on weight loss you can create a special report on the best exercises to do to blast through a weight loss plateau. Offer this at a special price to your members. You can also sell the same report at a higher price to non-members to drive traffic back to your website to grow your membership.



5. Turn membership site content into individual products



Once you've built a good amount of content within your site, you can start using the content for other purposes. Package up your articles on a specific topic and sell them as a special report. You can do this with several different sections of your website to make some backend income and get new members for your website.



With one or several of these techniques you can create several streams of income from your membership site and attract new members.

Values Alignment

LEADING TO YOUR VALUES



As a leader, the values of the organization need to be a focus.  When you lead to your values, then you are walking your talk, practicing what you preach, and living those values.

Values Alignment Check





Doing a periodic values check is important. Are we in alignment with the values of the organization?  Do the values we have outlined still fit the organization? And, what do we need to do to be in alignment with the values of the organization?



Here at Compass Rose Consulting, we just recently been looking at our own values. But values alignment is something that has been important to me for a long time. It was included in my first business development program: Business Builders Intensive and is still a part of Business Growth CORE in the Womenpreneur's Resource Center.  It is important to look at.



When you are out of alignment with your values -- your staff notice and your customers notice.   Something doesn't feel right. They know it and it impacts them.



Our values alignment evaluation looks at:

What is the value? Name it:



How is it practiced across the organization?
Operations?
Products?
Marketing?
Leadership?
Staffing?
HR?
etc.



For instance, I worked with an organization that worked with youth and taught that you needed to get a college education so that you would be fairly paid. And we hired people with college degrees to work with the youth. BUT, we did not pay a fair wage for the work done.  The values were out of alignment with the practice. I successfully changed that practice or at least improved it.



values alignment

When you do the values alignment, you are going through each value and making sure that you are walking your talk and practicing the value in all that you do.



Take a look at your values and how they are working in your business. Is there something that you need to shift or change?  Is there a way to practice them better?



Leave me your thoughts below and let me know how your business is doing on it's values alignment.

Fear Gets in the Way of Repurposing?

The Secret Reason Most People Don’t Repurpose Content: Fear! Embracing Audio, Video, and Interactive Media





Content repurposing is a crucial strategy for amplifying your message across various platforms. However, there’s one hurdle that prevents many small business owners from fully leveraging their content’s full potential: fear. Whether it's anxiety about being on camera, speaking on a podcast, or tackling the tech required to create an interactive element, many people avoid mediums outside their comfort zone. Don’t let fear win. If you do, you’ll miss opportunities to connect with your audience and grow your business.



Luckily, with patience, practice, and straightforward techniques and tips, you can overcome your fear and expand to mediums that you’ve avoided up until now.



Audio: Find Your Voice



For many people, speaking publicly – even if it’s prerecorded on a podcast or audio story – is daunting. What if you forget your key points? Stumble over words or mispronounce them? What if you say something you’ll regret later?



The key to removing this fear is preparation and practice.



Start by repurposing existing content into an audio format. Choose a topic you’re comfortable with and confident speaking about. The content will be familiar, providing you with security and a safety net as you find your way.



Practice by recording yourself and playing it back so you can get used to the sound of your voice, noting things you might want to do differently but not judging yourself.



Start with something that doesn’t require a lot of production, like audio instructions or a story. Then, as audio becomes easier for you, move on to larger projects like a podcast or audiobook.



Remember: if you’re the one producing the audio segment, you can edit it – so don’t worry about getting it ‘perfect’.



Video: Embrace the Spotlight



Being on camera can be intimidating. To ease into video, start with something you know. Take written content that has performed well and transform it into a video script. Start with slides or an animated explainer video if you’re not ready to be the star of the video. If you decide to appear in the video, practice in front of a mirror and then record yourself and play it back, reviewing your performance and noting anything that you’d like to tweak in your delivery.



Once you’re ready, record multiple takes, and remember: nobody gets it right the first time or all in one take – that’s why you have editing tools!



Production and editing can also be intimidating, but there are numerous video editing tools available like Adobe Premiere or Canva’s free online video editor to make it easier. You can even use internal software on smartphones to make basic tweaks or make minor changes directly on platforms like TikTok or Instagram.



Interactive Media: Tech Doesn’t Have to Be Terrifying



Interactive media, like quizzes or games, are a great way to engage your audience. People mistakenly assume that they’re difficult to create, but if you use tools for beginners, interactive media can be a breeze. Use Typeform or Quiz Maker to create online quizzes and other interactive content quickly.



You can also develop polls and slider questions directly on social media platforms. Again, start with something simple: take content from a popular blog post and add an engaging multimedia element to your Instagram story using an interactive quiz sticker.



Transform Content in New and Exciting Ways



Remember: your audience isn’t looking for a slick Hollywood production or a high-tech video game. They want authenticity and valuable content. Take that next step to expand your reach and connect with your audience in new and exciting ways!

Assess Your Lead Generation Strategies

Having a Lead Generation Plan that Works, Makes Growing Your Business Exciting (and Predictable)



lead generation

Generating new leads is a focus of most business owners.  But do you ever stop to evaluate where your leads are coming from and how your lead generation methods are working? It is important to have systems in place to track new leads and evaluate each lead strategy. You have to KNOW your numbers in order to have a system that is really working for you.



Many business owners miss this key metric. Marketing numbers or conversion points can dramatically impact your revenue and even small changes to those conversion metrics can make a BIG difference.



So what numbers do you need to be looking at?? There are a couple of ways that you can do this.



1.  Website –



If you have a website then it should be one of your lead generation strategies.  Your website has to be set up to work for you!!



You want to have your subscription form on your site for your free gift.  If you don’t, you will not be able to keep in touch with folks that visit your site.  Take a look at your website statistics to see what kind of traffic your site receives and where the traffic is coming from. A free gift is a free report or tip sheet or video or.... that provides YOUR prospect with valuable information. You are working to



If your web host does not provide statistics you should set up a Google Analytics account and add the code to your web pages in order to track your traffic.  You want to know who is visiting, how long they are staying on your site, what pages they are visiting and where they came from to get there.  Did they do a search?  If so, what keyword were they searching that landed them with you?  Once they are there are they interacting with you and your site: subscribing to your newsletter, taking surveys, leaving feedback on your guestbook or forums? All of this detail is great information for you.



2.  Lead Generation



Do you receive leads from referrals, lead boxes, listings in directories, yellow pages?  When a new person contacts you it is a good idea to ask where they got their information from. Recently several business owners have asked whether the Yellow Pages is a good place for them to spend their money. As a business coach I really don’t know the answer to that because it is different for each business.  It depends if YOUR business is receiving calls as a result of the ad.  That is why asking about where the lead came from is so very important. With the Internet, the effectiveness of Yellow Pages is definitely diminished. But if you have a marketing strategy that is working, you need to KNOW which one it is!!



It's essential that you know where your leads are coming in and what isn't working. It's not cost effective or wise to use mediums that aren't working. They should be changed so that there are more leads generated, in the case of a website, or done away with altogether, in the case of a newspaper advertisement.



The medium that you dispose of right now can always be revisited in the future.



A down economy is a great time to evaluate everything that you are doing, but it is not a time to eliminate advertising and marketing.  You have to continue to market or you won’t have new leads and referrals.  Do your marketing wisely, track it all and evaluate relevant pieces each month.



So take the time to do a marketing evaluation and understand your marketing metrics. Need help? Schedule a Business Breakthrough Strategy Session.



Lead generation is a foundation of building your business. Without an effective lead generation system it is hard to predictably build. When you have a lead generation system that is working for you, then your business is growing consistently and that decreases stress, enables better sleep and so much more!!



It can be frustrating to get the system right and understand all of the numbers.

Working From Home: 4 Pitfalls

Pitfalls To Watch Out For When Working From Home



Working At Home

There's no denying that working from home offers many advantages, but it is a change for many right now. And it can be challenging.



Working from home can be the ultimate freedom you get to set your own hours, working when, where and how you want. But in this time, it might be more structured with work times. team meetings etc.



However, there are also a number of potential pitfalls you need to be aware of, and watch out for, or you'll risk turning your home-based job into an unproductive nightmare.



1. Failing to keep business and private life separate



This is one of the most common issues for people who work from home, especially those who are self-employed. I'm writing this on Saturday!! Proves my point.....



When the home office is right there, it can be hard to stay away even if you should really be off work for the day. Before you know it, you'll have spent another few hours of your precious weekend on work. This is the fast track to burning out, and something you must learn to avoid if you want to be successful working from home.



2. Not planning your work



This mostly applies to people who are self-employed and may not have a boss telling them what to do every day. When you're working on your own projects, planning is an absolute must. If the first thing you ask yourself when you start your day is: Okay, what am I going to do today?, then you're setting yourself up for failure.



It's much better to plan out the next day before you go off work in the evening, so you're ready to get started first thing in the morning.



3. Working from home, at irregular times



When you're free to set your own hours, it doesn't mean that you should only work whenever you feel like it. Chances are after a few months that you'll rarely feel like it at all, especially when there are so many fun distractions around the house.



That's why it's better to try to stick to working the same hours every day, even if it might resemble a real job a bit too much for your liking. You can always take breaks during the day if you need to recharge, but try to at least go into your office around the same time if you want productivity levels to stay high.



4. Not getting out of the house regularly



When you work from home there is usually very little motivation to go outside. You've got everything you need at home anyway, right? That's true, but after a whole week you'll most likely be feeling isolated and lonely, and that's perfectly normal.



That's why it's so important to make time for little things like grabbing lunch with a friend - something as simple as that can really boost your energy and make your working week easier and less lonely. Especially now, so take a walk everyday.  Take a bike ride.

6 Key Benefits to Having a Membership Site

- Access Everything with the Ultimate Membership!!- Including Micro Memberships and Club Building!!

When you set up a membership site properly, it offers tons of benefits but we are going look at the key benefits to having your own membership site.



benefits of membership

1 Market What You Offer Once and Continuously Profit



When you convince a person to become a member of your site, each month you will charge their credit card, and that turns into years, and that turns into ongoing profits forever without having to resign up each month, as long as you continue to offer them value every month so that they don't give up their membership. However, the only time you ever have to market to them is during that initial campaign to get them to become a member. After that it is all about the value that you provide. Membership is not guaranteed. If you are not giving to your members every single month, you will find they are dropping your membership.



2 Repeat Income



When you charge a monthly fee for your membership site (or it could be an annual fee) one of the biggest benefits that you get to enjoy is repeat income, and that makes it one of the easiest ways to generate a steady stream of income. This can have a stabilizing effect on your business. Consistent monthly income is wonderful. Knowing that you have that income each month reduces your stress but also makes your business more valuable.



3 Builds Loyalty



Your membership website should be created so that it builds loyalty because these members remain your loyal customers. The only time (possibly) you have to have direct contact with your customers is when you send out their monthly invoice, otherwise it runs on autopilot, which means there is little labor costs. Certainly in some memberships there is more contact and it is the income that is automated. It depends on the design of your membership program.



4 Reward Loyalty



Your membership website rewards membership loyalty by having access to things that those who are not members don't get access to, and that's exciting for your members and of course it build membership loyalty. It is important to highlight what these benefits are, so that your members recognize their special status. It can be in the name of the program and then through your communications on delivery.



5 Build and Maintain Long Term Relationships



Your membership site will allow you to build and maintain long term relationships. These are your VIPs. Treat them well!! They are special to you and your company. You encourage the maintaining of relationships by offering your top clients perks that you don't offer your other members.



6 Provide Value to Your Members



If you have the expertise in your membership sites area then you will be able to find new material to share with your members. This can come in the form of newsletters, blogs, articles, videos, audios, etc. When you offer value to your members they stay members and that means you continue to enjoy the revenue.



Now that you know some of the key benefits to having a membership site, you are ready to begin to generate an ongoing revenue that can continue for years to come providing you give your members value.

Your Membership Site Startup Checklist

Starting a membership site is easier than you think. Although there are a lot of requirements involved, you can breeze through them all with this simple checklist. Once you get through this list you'll be in prime position to launch your own membership site and start gathering a consistent monthly income from your site.



Domain name



Your first step is to get a domain name. Use the most popular keywords in your niche and add a community-oriented suffix like club, group or team. For example, your weight loss membership site could be hosted at www.loseweightclub.com. Using keywords can help with search results. Or you can include it on your website and point the domain to the website.



Website



Your website design will have a big impact on how your members use your website and how often they come back. You'll need a welcome page, a blog, a member's area and/or course area and perhaps a forum, depending on the nature of your membership site..



Sales Process or Funnel



Your sales process or funnel should guide prospects through a meaningful sales process. It may be a sales letter that should convince visitors why they should join your membership site. It may also be a Webinar with a powerful call to action at the end that sends the person to your shopping cart with a program summary. Some would consider it to be the most important part of your business because it gets people in through the door. The sales process needs to emphasize the benefits of your membership site as well as mentioning the features. By the time you have guided people through your process, they should be ready to say: "Hell Yeah!!"; you'll make the decision easy for them.



Order Processor or Shopping Cart



You won't make any money with your membership site unless you have this set up properly. While many people use Paypal, Stripe or another credit card processor, to process their monthly subscriptions, you will need the technology to facilitate this. I use LifterLMS as my Wordpress plugin for my site and I use it's built in shopping care along with Stripe. There are also options such as WooCommerce, ThriveCart, 1ShoppingCart and more. If you are hosting on a membership platform such as Teachable, or GoHighLevel, then you will set up their system and probably connect it to Stripe or Paypal.



Membership Site Script, Plugin or Host



A membership site script or plugin will keep your website secure. The script/plugin will build a registration form into your site, which will allow paying members to sign up and access the site. It will also keep visitors from accessing your content without paying. Thanks to membership site plugins/scripts you don't have to hire a coder to set up a custom script for you. You can also host on a learning platform such as Teachable, Udemy etc.



Email Autoresponder program



You'll want to keep in touch with your members and let them know what is going on inside of the site. Using an autoresponder e-mail list is a great way to keep people active in the site. You can send out a new message each time there is a content update, or you can e-mail a weekly newsletter. Place an opt in box on the welcome page that members get to after they've successfully subscribed.



Startup Content



Before you launch your site, you should have several articles, reports and other forms of content available for your members to enjoy. If you plan on having a certain amount of updates per month, you should have at least twice as much content when you start. This way the members know that theyll be getting quality from you in the future. Write the content yourself or have a ghostwriter do it for you.



Editorial Schedule



Just like traditional newspapers, your membership site needs an editorial calendar. You dont want to scramble around each month trying to get your content together. Plan ahead at least a few months of content and get it prepared before you need to post it.



By following these steps, you'll be ready to promote your membership site and start earning monthly income.

Top 10 Ways to Promote Any Membership Program



You can build the best membership program in the world but if you don't promote it, you won't make any money from your incredible program and your best laid plans. Use the following tips to keep the traffic flowing to your website and your income growing by leaps and bounds.



No matter what type of membership program you have, you'll be sure to find some inspiration and ideas in these tips.



1. Podcasting



Be a podcast guest with a podcast that is focused on your niche. So, in the B2B space, you need to identify the podcasters that are NOT your direct competitors but rather complimentary businesses. That means they serve your target customer with a different product or service and they will be glad to have your expertise on their podcast.



2. Affiliates



When you're running a membership program, affiliates can be your best allies in getting new members. An affiliate program that pays well and that offers affiliates tools like articles, solo ads and e-mail messages will attract top affiliates and bring you new customers. Register your membership site with Affiliate Sites such as Clickbank to reach a wide pool of affiliates. If you have built your membership on some member platforms, they have built in affiliate pools that you may be able to tap into.



3. JV Partners



Unlike affiliates, JV partners is a more collaborative and intimate relationship. JV Partners work more closely together and they may get a special level of commission by promoting your membership program. They'll run special promotions for your membership program when it launches and get you some of your first members to your program.



4. Pay per click ads



Running a successful pay-per-click campaign can bring you a lot of targeted traffic to your sales page. Choose the right keywords, craft an attractive ad and you'll have lots of leads. But if you are paying for the traffic, send them to an opt-in page with the membership as an upsell and a nurture down the road. Do not pay traffic to go straight to your sales page. It can be too costly. In addition, you must track your numbers and KNOW what numbers you need to make it a worthwhile strategy.



5. Social marketing



Sites like Facebook and Twitter can offer you lots of opportunities to connect with your niche market and get new potential members. Visit and join Facebook groups. Share your expertise into the groups and include your link occasionally. Consider being premium member of viable groups and receive more opportunities to promote your offer.



6. Q & A Forums



It used to Yahoo Answers but there are several sites that you can choose from to showcase your offer. They are a good place to find questions that people are asking related to your niche. Search through the open questions a few times a week and provide helpful answers. Use your membership site link in the resource area to drive targeted traffic back to your site.



7. Communities (Circle.io, Slack, Substack, Reddit....)



If you already participate in a forum related to your niche, this will be an easy way to promote your site. Add a link to your membership program in your forum signature file. (Do this in our email signature as well.) Each time you post, your sales page link will be promoted.



8. Viral reports



Write a short report on a popular topic within your niche. Solve a major problem or provide a plan of action for your niche. Include lots of links back to your site within the report. Allow others to distribute it for free and your membership program link will get in front of thousands of potential subscribers.



9. Summits



Be a speaker at a Summit related to your membership offer. Create a talk that is closely related to the offer. Be sure to have a full funnel strategy built out to go from free gift to offer. Watch the training I just did HERE



10. Blog comments



Search for blogs in your niche and post insightful comments from time to time. Use your membership site link in your blog comment and you'll get some new visitors to your site. Make sure your comments are authentic and relevant. Do NOT go out spamming blogs with comments. You will get banned!!



11. Giveaways and Bundles



Participate in relevant giveaways or bundles. Plan out your strategy. Watch the funnel training mentioned above. What is your end offer? Plan it backwards and have something of value to offer to the bundle or giveaway host!! Create your nurture plan for once the person joins YOUR community!!

The Power of Sharing Your Vision



sharing your vision


Sharing Your Vision is One of the Best Ways to Make it Happen



As a business owner sharing your vision is a powerful step in building your team and building your business. As a business owner and business coach, I find vision a significant key to business success. Staff needs to know what the vision is and what their role in that vision is. Have you shared your company vision?



Share Your Clear, Compelling and Powerful Vision

Having a strong, clear vision of your business and where you are going is an essential component of building that business. It goes beyond the daydream of success and deep into what that business will look like. How you as the owner visualize it. Am I talking about using visualization? Well certainly that can't hurt and can even help you in manifesting what you want. But more importantly I am talking about having a clear vision, written down of where you want to go. Your vision statement becomes your road-map. It guides you on your journey. A clear vision helps you to make good decisions for your business. Often there are tempting distractions that get us off course. We decide to add a new product line or create a new service, and down the road we find that it doesn't feel like the right fit. When we look back at our vision, there it is clear as day. The new service or product wasn't a part of the vision. That's why it didn't fit or wasn't successful. It didn’t fit into the company mission, vision and values.



Sure, we want to be creating new services, new products, new opportunities for business growth, but we want to stay on our path. If the new service takes us too far off the path then it might not be the right choice and as the owner it's your role to evaluate that.



Do you have a compelling vision? When you write a compelling vision statement it inspires and motivates. It has the detail you need to move forward.

Business owners that have been working with me will tell you that I keep coming back to this with them and in my own business.



- What is the vision?

- What does the company look like?

- What are the services, the clients, the products?

- What growth has the company experienced?

- What does it feel like, sound like?

Writing a detailed vision that includes all of the emotion helps you to develop a clearer plan. I recommend writing your vision statement in as much detail as possible. Write it in the present tense, as if it is happening now. Include the details of who, what, where, when, how... And the emotional details – the feelings you have living that vision, the feelings of the clients/customers/staff, what it looks like, sounds like, and smells like.



sharing your vision

Once you've created a written vision story, and then make a picture, hang it on your wall where you can see it. Read your vision regularly, every day if you can. Share the vision story and picture with your staff, your colleagues. Letting people know what the vision is gives them the opportunity to help you achieve the vision.



Sharing your vision, ultimately empowers your staff and helps you to continue build your business.

I have witnessed the power of sharing your vision, both personally and in companies. When I have shared my vision, I have ultimately connected with the resources I needed. They can become your partners in making it happen.



Gain clarity with a powerful vision.





The Vision Board Project guides you through the process of creating your powerful vision. How to put it into action and really make it work for you.



A vision board shouldn't live in your closet or under the bed.



It's not a hope board, its a map to the future.

Discover the Key Steps to Effective Leadership

Embracing Leadership: 12 Steps to Being the Leader of Your Life and Business



effective leadership

Effective Leadership is a crucial aspect of both personal and professional growth. In the journey of entrepreneurship, we are not just business owners but also leaders of our own lives. Donna Price, an expert in personal and business development, shares essential insights from her book, "Launching Your Dreams: Making Wild Ideas Happen," outlining 12 steps to be the leader of your life and business.



1. Start with Vision



Creating a clear and compelling vision of the future is the cornerstone of effective leadership. It's about knowing where you're going and what the big picture looks like. The vision serves as the guiding star, inspiring and steering efforts, be it in personal aspirations or business objectives.



2. Be the Leader



Acknowledging oneself as the captain and driver of your life and vision is pivotal. Taking ownership of your dreams and goals empowers you to lead the way and stay committed to the journey, despite the challenges that may arise.



3. Chart Your Vision



Developing a strategic plan, akin to creating a map, is crucial for achieving your vision. Whether in business or personal life, strategizing acts as a roadmap to your envisioned destination. It outlines the actions and steps required to reach your goals, providing a sense of direction and purpose.



4. Stay Focused on the Horizon



Amidst the daily grind, it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. Staying focused on the horizon means consistently aligning your efforts with your vision. This ensures that short-term distractions or obstacles do not veer you off course from your long-term aspirations.



5. Use Your Compass



Just as a compass guides a ship, values serve as the compass for our lives. Identifying and aligning with your core values ensures that every decision and action you take is in harmony with what truly matters to you. It's about living and leading authentically, anchored in your own values.



6. Keep a Ship's Log



Accountability is vital in leadership. By maintaining a log of your accomplishments and actions, you create a record of progress. This not only keeps you motivated and inspired but also serves as a testament to your growth and dedication over time.



7. Share Your Vision



Sharing your vision with others not only strengthens your commitment but also opens doors to collaboration and support. By articulating your dreams, you invite others to contribute, offer resources, and provide valuable insights, enriching the journey with shared experiences and knowledge.



8. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate



Effective communication lies at the heart of successful leadership. Regularly sharing your vision, listening to feedback, and maintaining transparent communication with your team, clients, and stakeholders is essential for fostering understanding, alignment, and synergy.



9. Mastermind



Creating an advisory council or board can provide valuable external perspectives and guidance. Whether in the form of a business advisory board or personal mentors, seeking insights from trusted individuals can offer fresh perspectives, challenge assumptions, and catalyze growth in your leadership journey.



10. Hold the Vision



Integrity in leadership means staying true to your vision, despite the obstacles. This involves not succumbing to negative voices, be it internal self-doubt or external naysayers. Believing in your vision and persevering through challenges is integral to successful leadership.



11. Celebrating Your Leadership



Recognizing and celebrating your achievements is crucial. As a leader, acknowledging the efforts and contributions of your team is equally important. Sharing credit and expressing gratitude for the collective journey reinforces a culture of collaboration, empowerment, and appreciation.



The 12 steps to being the leader of your life or business offer a comprehensive roadmap for nurturing effective leadership.

Embracing these principles can empower individuals and entrepreneurs to not only envision their dreams but also lead others in achieving collective success. By staying true to the vision, fostering strong communication, and embracing accountability, one can pave the way for personal and professional growth, embarking on a fulfilling journey guided by purpose and aspiration.
