Although my signature program is called “The Profit Mastermind”, business is not all about profits, is it?
Well, I know that as responsible and impact-making entrepreneurs, we’re in business to make money so we can bring about a positive change in the world – all while living a deeply fulfilling life ourselves.
But restraining our thought and goal-setting process to just money is a grave injustice to our dreams, desires and God-gifted abilities to help others.
So when it comes to packaging up your ideas into one fine offer and putting it out in the world (a.k.a. launching), you shouldn’t keep your focus ONLY on SALES.
Because the more concerned you are about your numbers (instead of the overall impact you are making), the more those numbers will evade you…to the point that it almost becomes a never-ending episode of “hide & seek.”
When your sole motivation is your rising or declining numbers, you will act from a place of scarcity during your launch instead of a place of abundance, and that creates a no-win situation for you and your audience.
For a successful launch, you need to have the mindset of a leader. One that:
Once you’re mentally prepared to slay your fears as they emerge, willing to look beyond numbers and gauge the real impact of your launch, and have a buddy by your side cheering on you as you move forward, sales numbers automatically fall into place.
DAY TWO ASSIGNMENT:
ACTION STEPS:
Listen up, I’m going to show you how you can launch in 90 days but I can't force you to achieve spectacular results, so I need you to step up and do the work.
See you in the Facebook Group with rest of the challengers!

Has this ever happened to you?
An idea sparked in your mind. Light-bulb moment. Goosebumps all over your body just by thinking of the impact it’s going to have. You fervently start working on the idea as it seems to be everything you’ve ever dreamed about. You do some basic research, create a plan, set goals and dates…you’re basically right on track to turn it into a living reality…and then it all dies.
The burst of flame. The motivation. The dream. All those rough outlines, plans and deadlines start to haunt you. Even when you force yourself to work, you can’t do it. You find yourself coming up with new excuses every time you even think about it. It’s like all of a sudden you’ve lost your interest in that “passion” project and it all turns into a forced task. So you just leave it…unfinished…
test - Stacy, this is what I see so many entrepreneurs doing when they decide to create an online product or program and launch it.
They go into the product/course creation or launch mode with full force…only to feel bored or get sidetracked after a little while. But if you’re serious about your online business (and the dreams associated with it) and are committed to making it work, then you can’t afford to fall prey to this cycle of gloom & doom, can you? And that brings me to Day 1 of the “Launched in 90 Days” challenge.
A launch without a vision is just a series of tasks that you HAVE to do no matter what. If you don’t have a driving force behind your launch, it can turn into a messy business experience…leaving you more frazzled than before.
With a clear vision in sight, even the toughest tasks get done like a breeze. Because now you are well aware of the importance of each milestone and the change it’s going to bring.
So let’s take a look at today’s assignment, shall we?
DAY ONE ASSIGNMENT:
ACTION STEPS:
You can do ANYTHING you set your mind to, so stretch your imagination and dream BIG.
There’s no reason you can’t achieve what you’ve not achieved up until now.
See you in the Facebook Group!
If you're having some difficulty understanding the difference between your real value and the price that you're charging, you will really gain a lot from today's show. Stacy's guest, Bob Burg, is a best-selling author and a speaker. He has written a number of books on sales, marketing and influence and today he explains the importance of knowing this, as well as giving you a lot of other, really valuable advice. Listen in today, to what Bob has to tell you about knowing your true value and also about giving value to others.
Bob's total book sales have already reached over a million, with the book The Go Giver having been particularly successful. Stacy says that even if you take away only one golden nugget from Bob on today's show, it's going to really be worth listening to, so tune in now, to hear what Bob has for you.
Some highlights include:
“Sometimes, with entrepreneurs, there's a tendency to under value yourself.” From minute 1:45, Bob talks about price and value and why it's so important to understand the difference between the two.
“The basic premise of The Go Giver is simply shifting your focus from getting to giving.” From minute 2:12, Bob talks about shifting your focus from getting to giving.
“We should absolutely trying to please others, and as a result, we profit.” At minute 2:47, Bob explains how pleasing others ties into our human nature, as well as into pre-market economics, so we will naturally profit, as a result.
“Let's talk about the difference between price and value, because understanding it is what allows us to charge what we should be charging. From minute 3:16, Bob explains about charging what you should be charging and feeling great about it.
“Price is finite, but value can be both concrete, in terms of that $5000 saving, but it can also be conceptual, in terms of the peace of mind that she's providing.” At minute 5:27, Bob explains the difference between price and value, as in the example that he used.
“ In a free market exchange, the main characteristic of such an exchange is that both parties, the buyer and the seller, come away from the transaction better off.” From minute 6:17, Bob explains the basics of The Law of Value.
“When you sell on high value, you're a resource.” At minute 6.59, Bob explains about selling on high value.
“Sometimes it's so great to work with a coach.” From minute 7:59, Bob explains about the value of working with a coach.
“Someone gave me some advice that changed the whole way I did business.” From minute 9:20, Bob talks about the advice that changed the way he did business.
“So many people think that selling is about trying to convince someone to buy something they don't want or need.” From minute 11:48, Bob talks about common misconceptions about selling and sets things straight with the truth about it.
“In other words, it's the lack of emotional attachment.” From minute 13:45, Bob explains about emotional posture.
“Asking if something will make money, like you said, is a great question, it's just a bad first question.” From minute 19:08, Bob explains why asking if something will make money is a bad question to ask first.
“If it will serve, the money will be a result.” At minute 21.03, Bob talks about serving as a priority.
“We always have to realise that we operate unconsciously, based on our own unconscious beliefs.” From minute 22:20, Bob talks about our unconscious beliefs and how they can affect our views about others.
“If it's a matter of an actual coach that we're hiring...” From minute 23:30, Bob and Stacy explain what you should look for in a coach.

We are wrapping up from the live event we had last week! I have some lessons learned from my live event that I wanted to share with you. The event was great, but I can always improve, so we look at every possible way to make that happen each and every time.
One thing I’ve learned about myself is that I think I lose my voice, not because I am speaking, but because I am stressed. I have lost my voice 4 times this past year, and it’s almost always because I am under stress. I knew I had to see if I could control this better because this isn’t a normal way to function. So, let’s start there and I’ll share with you some of the takeaways from my most recent live event.
Episode Highlights:
“I wasn’t doing my normal water intake or taking my multi-vitamins, and I didn’t exercise”……….at minute 4.10 Stacy talks about the physical conditions surrounding her stressful times when she lost her voice and the things she realized when she looked back.
“We have our opinions, but I also made sure we did a survey”……..at minute 5, Stacy talks about how she has constantly surveyed her audience throughout her business, but it’s a little more personal when she surveyed her live event attendees.
“The event was profitable and most live events are not.”…….at minute 7.30 Stacy talks about how much her first event ended up costing her and the steps she took in year 2 to make sure she was profitable. Sticking to the budget this year helped her profitability this year.
“People are waiting to hand over their credit card.”…..at minute 9.0 Stacy talks about how you must craft a great offer for your audience. They want to buy from you and have you help them learn more and put into action what you just taught them. So always have a great offer for a follow-up product.
“I was able to pre-sell something to my audience.”…..at minute 9.20, Stacy talks about how pre-selling a product that wasn’t even launched yet, has helped her craft her next product.
“There’s no resting right now.”…….At minute 10.30, Stacy talks about how even though everyone told her to get some rest after her live event, she’s working on a new 5-day challenge that starts next week! She’s helping people plan, launch and sell out your first digital course.
“We can make more money, but we can’t make more time.”……at minute 12.21, Stacy talks about how you should look at doing a group coaching program even if you make tons of money doing one-on-one coaching. The reason is because you run out of time to help all the people that follow you and need your help. Group coaching allows you to reach more people.

In episode 166, Stacy shared 5 big takeaways from Social Media Marketing World. Today, she’s here to share 4 things she learned at the same conference that has nothing to do with social media marketing.
Also, the podcast is undergoing a bit of restructuring. From now on, Stacy will do Facebook Live broadcasts that will then be turned into podcast episodes. This change will allow for better repurposing of the content. So if you are on the email list, you will get a notification of the Facebook Live every Wednesday around noon and you can catch the show live.
In this episode, Stacy discusses:
Success needs to be balanced. At minute 2:50 Stacy talks about how the truly successful people are balanced in every aspect of their lives. True success only comes when you have the entire life you want, not just the successful business.
Masterminds are everything. At minute 4:05 Stacy talks about her amazing mastermind. There are couples in my mastermind and there are so many great relationships to be developed there.
No new friends. At minute 5:20 Stacy talks about how one session at SMMW talked about the limited amount of time they have to cultivate relationships. So, it means that you don’t have any time for any new friends because you are so busy deep diving into the relationships in their masterminds.
Some of the best conversations happened in the hallways. At minute 7:40 Stacy talks about how she had her best conversations in the hallways. She felt bad about skipping sessions but learned so much more by learning from individual conversations in the hallways.
Speakers on stage were nervous to speak at a huge event. At minute 9:20, Stacy talks about how many speakers had been given the stage and all it takes is raising your hand and applying to speak to a group. It’s time to pitch to speak in any conference you feel you can contribute to.
Don’t forget to check out episode 166 to learn the 5 big takeaways I had from Social Media Marketing World.

Today, Stacy mentions that when something is easy, everybody does it, so she gets excited when things seem confusing, as then, there are usually a limited amount of people doing it.

Sometimes, however, she does take the easy road, as that 's what people are looking for. Listen in today and find out from Stacy what she means, when she talks about the easy ways.
Some highlights include:

Did you miss Social Media Marketing World this year? Stacy just got back from the conference and has so much to share. In this episode, Stacy will share her top takeaways from the sessions she attended.
In case you were wondering, Facebook still reigns supreme as far as being the biggest social media marketing channel. That’s the good news. The bad news is that across the board, everyone has had their organic reach drop. Don’t despair though, because in this episode Stacy will also tell you how to get around this and still reach more of your target audience.
The answer to reach isn’t frequency. It’s using Facebook Live. Listen in as Stacy explains:
It’s not a matter of finding the time, it’s a matter of removing something to make time for this. At minute 4:30, Stacy talks about how FB live is a necessity.
The bad news is FB ads are starting to get saturated…..at 5:20 Stacy talks about how she has an ad that is working, but she can’t increase it because she has saturated her market.
The answer to market saturation is Messenger ads……..at minute 6:15 Stacy talks about this confusing new thing called FB messenger ads.
We can target people inside our messenger app……at minute 7 Stacy talks about the 60-70% open rates for the Messenger ads.
Everybody is doing FB live……….at minute 8:10 Stacy talks about how even though FB Live has been out for awhile, many people have never even done their first FB live yet.
Instagram is absolutely the #2 social media platform……….at minute 9:22, Stacy talks about how Instagram needs to be treated completely different than FB.
Should you be on Snapchat….maybe not if you do Instagram well. At minute 10:20, Stacy shares what the experts shared about why you may not need to be on Snapchat after all.
Artificial Intelligence, aka “bots” are like an auto-responder, and they are getting smart enough to interpret an answer and know how to respond. At minute 11:30, Stacy shares this incredible technology and how it will work.
You need to pay attention and observe when you get a Messenger ad. At minute 13:06 Stacy shares a story of a friend who added FB Messenger ads to his launch and made an additional $9000.
Messenger is really turning into an email. At minute 14:12, Stacy explains why people are expecting to get to you on Messenger the same way they would on email.
We will be experimenting with Messenger ads. At minute 15:50, Stacy shares the difference in how Messenger ads get priced by how many you send, not who sees it. The high open rate right now makes it worthwhile.
I was convinced to get on YouTube. At minute 16:50, Stacy explains why your YouTube needs to be more than just repurposed content.
The six degrees of separation comes into play with YouTube, so we need to create headlines that people will search for. At minute 18:20, Stacy explains why “how to” videos will always do great on YouTube.
Social media is always changing. At minute 21:10, Stacy explains how you can gain a competitive edge by staying on top of the social media trends.

Are you concerned about your business because you're spending more on it than it's bringing in right now? Would you like to find out what you can do to turn this situation around? If so, you will learn a lot from today's show, as Stacy dives in deep and explains how it really is possible to survive this and to move forward with your business.
Today, Stacy explains how you can avoid getting overly stressed about money in your business. She talks about how people tend to focus solely on their income, but not on their spending in business- a big mistake! She points out that it takes a lot of money to start a business and to keep it going strong and how it could happen that you could be funding it, growing it and then, all of a sudden, run out of money. On today's show, she focuses on what you should and shouldn't cut from your business in that situation and on how to cut things in a way that your customers don't feel it. Listen in and find out how to be smart and avoid spending more than you're making.
Some highlights include:
“So, first of all, are you spending a thousand dollars to bring in a hundred?” At minute 2.52, Stacy talks about how easily you can fall into spending more than you're making.
“But if you're somebody who's selling something that's actually costing them to do it, don't do it.” At minute 4.05, Stacy gives some down to earth advice about keeping your expenses in check.
“Do you know how much it costs you every single month to run your business?” At minute 4.18, Stacy asks a basic, yet necessary question, about hidden, ongoing monthly expenses in an online business.
“What is your break even number, every single month?” At minute 4.59, Stacy talks about how many people don't know that very basic fact- and why you need to know it.
“But we will talk about what we do cut because there are some things you shouldn't cut, some things that you should.” At minute 5.45, Stacy talks about how and why you should make those cuts without letting your customers know that your business isn't going well.
“Let's talk a bit about what expenses you can cut.” From minute 7.02, Stacy advises about the best way to cut your expenses.
“I do want you to look at it and go 'I either need to get rid of it, or I need to start using it'” At minute 8.53, Stacy talks about being careful not to get rid of things that you could benefit from actually using.
“Let's talk about some software...” From minute 9.00, Stacy talks about certain types of software that you could change for a free version that will still do the job, without letting your customers feel it.
“I didn't really need it. I wish I would have started a little bit smaller...” At minute 10.00, Stacy talks about things she overspent on, starting her business and how she would have benefited from spending less at the time.

The guest on today's show is Maria Rana, a copywriter and Sales Funnel Strategist. In only two years, Maria, who is a non-native English speaker, has managed to build herself a successful copywriting business. She has also become the go-to expert when it comes to building cash creating funnels. She has helped her clients- even the smallest- generate over $100 000 with their launches. Today, Maria talks to Stacy about sales funnels and about how copywriting is a huge and integral part of them.
Fresh out of university with a degree in literature, Maria, who hails from a tiny, village in Pakistan, really wanted to create the means to become financially independent and make her mark in the world. Her reality at the time, however, did not support those goals, as she comes from a very conservative family, where women weren't allowed to work and there was no concept of making money online.
Maria, being a big dreamer with a vision, made up her mind to change that. She decided to leverage her background in literature and started working as a freelance writer. She started out earning a pittance, but never gave up. She kept going and at the beginning of 2015, she was awarded a scholarship, which is how she got into the copywriting game. In her very first month in business, she made $3000 and since then it's been a wild, wild ride! Listen in today and find out how you can create cash funnels to boost your business beyond your dreams.
Some highlights include:

“There are different ways of doing that...” From minute 6.34, Maria offers some strategies to send traffic to your landing pages to really capture those leads.

“And if you're wondering where do we exactly start pitching...”From minute 11.27, Maria explains the best place to start pitching.
“You need to have a viable long-term strategy...” From minute 13.00, Maria gives her advice about a strategy you can create for sending out emails.
“So, preferably, if you want to make things easy, I would recommend click funnels...” From minute 14.50, Maria discusses whether you need a landing page service, or if just using your website will work.
“But you should keep in touch with your list at least once or twice a week...” From minute 16.17, Maria suggests how often you should send emails after people have jumped on your landing page and received the welcome email.
“OMG, yes! My first funnel, my welcome email, I asked them one simple question and I got over a hundred responses.” From minute 16.44, Maria discusses whether it's a good idea to end an email with a question- whether people actually respond to them or not.
“Once you have that strategy because you cannot write copy without a strategy...” From minute 17.48, Maria offers some tips for writing really great copy that sells.

Today's guest is Lisa Woodruff, a Personal Organizer, a Productivity Specialist and author of the book The Mindset Of Organization- Take Back Your House One Phase at a Time. Lisa believes that organization is something that can be developed, even if you weren't born that way. On today's show, Lisa explains how you can have your space organized and keep it that way.
Lisa started out as a teacher. At the age of forty, when thinking about what she really wanted to do with her life, she realized that all her successes had to do with organization- either for herself or for others. So she launched her blog Organize 365 in January 2012, with the idea of selling organizing products. Within a couple of months, people were referring to her as a Professional Organizer. Once she realized that that was what she really was, the sky became the limit. Listen in and find out from Lisa how you can organize your life to maximize your productivity.
Some highlights include:
“I have multiple revenue streams...” From minute 2.44, Lisa explains what her business looks like today.
“But when they pay for it, they really do it.” At minute 3.25, Lisa explains how charging for something is often better than giving it way for free.
“It starts with de-cluttering- you always have to de-clutter.” At minute 5.35, Lisa talks about some of the easier things to organize.
“So tackle one area at a time- step one is de-clutter, step two is organize, step three is productivity...” At minute 6.07, Lisa gives you the first three steps towards productivity, reminding you that you can't do it all at once!
“It's all about building better habits.” At minute 6.27, Lisa talks about creating good habits for yourself.
“So the big thing is to complete the de-cluttering process...” At minute 7.20, Lisa advises you to get rid of whatever you no longer need.
“But what I suggest now, is to just ship it all out- take the last Amazon box you got, pack it up...” At minute 7.52, Lisa talks about Amazon's promotion, launched over Christmas, where they will pay to send your unwanted goods to Goodwill.
“You need to decide what is most important that day.” At minute 9.30, Lisa talks about whether you should sell your unwanted items, or give them away.
“It's because you don't set in organizational systems and go to the level of productivity.” From minute 10.30, Lisa explains why clutter tends to creep back in.
“So this is what I call Organization 101- setting up a Sunday Basket for that kitchen pile that is not going to go away.” At minute 13.37, Lisa describes a great system for dealing with mail and the daunting 'kitchen pile'.
“If the whole entire house is disorganized... we're going to focus on the following four areas, because they impact a woman's life the most.” At minute 17.19, Lisa talks about the primary areas that she organizes in most people's homes.
“So it depends on how long it's been disorganized.” At minute 18.14, Lisa talks about the cost of having her organize your home.
“So the message I really, really want women to hear is that it doesn't matter if you were born organized, or not organized, everyone can be organized.” From minute 22.51, Lisa shares a heartfelt message with all women.
