The quantity of your followers and potential buyers is way less important than the quality of them. That’s why it’s so important to have conversations, cultivate the people who are paying attention to you, and support them in any way possible. This practice will allow you to make great sales even with small audiences. Today, Jill illustrates this idea with the concept of Conversation Marketing. “If you are a wellness professional of some sort, chances are you have dozens of people that you’re co...

Building a business is not all sunshine and roses. There will be struggles, there will be tough decisions to make, and there will be difficulties you have never faced before.

In this episode, Jill reminds you to stay clinical and straightforward to solve the problems in your biz....

Leadership is a very present skill when you become a coach or a mentor of any sort. Being part of the coaching industry – as a professional and not as a client or student – involves being a leader too, whether you feel like it or not. On the other hand, more important than accepting leadership is acting as a leader and honoring this position. In this episode, Jill talks about being a leader and how to handle more responsibilities. “If you have an online audience or an online platform of some sor...

In today’s episode, Jill gives you an overview on a very personal topic: how are you showing up for your clients? What kind of message is being passed to your clients/students and how are they viewing you as a professional? Most of what you get from your community, in terms of: communication, results, feedback, and lessons being implemented, is basically a reflection of what you offer both as a coach and an individual.

The journey of building an online business involves creating a strategy that works, developing a relationship with your audience, and taking a ton of action.

The Movement Maestro’s #1 tip for anyone wanting to scale their business is: ‘take action and do the thing’! “If you are so focused on everyone else’s privilege, you will never ever see y...

When you hire a coach or mentor to help you go from ‘point A’ to ‘point B’ with your business, chances are you’re having problems that need solutions. For that reason, it’s smart for you to work on “being coachable” to really learn from that person who knows more than you do. In this episode, Jill explains that while it’s important to be curious, question things, and present your own ideas to your coach; it’s also good to implement different systems, to be willing to change, and to be more adapt...

Achieving a certain level of success in our personal life and business is something we should be proud of. The desire to share these happy moments and realizations is our human nature; however, it is important to understand that your success is going to be polarizing. Some people will be inspired, other people will be frustrated and there is nothing you can do about it. In this episode, Jill shares thoughts on how to avoid feeling guilty about your own success. “You can be the kindest, sweetest,...

“Everything you want is on the other side of fear.” This quote by Jack Canfield illustrates this episode well. In this one, Jill talks about how important it is to observe the way you talk to yourself, the affirmations you put out in the world, the thoughts you create about chances and possibilities, and your self-imposed limitations. Start questioning who you have become and what kind of identity you have built for yourself because it might be what’s holding you back – along with your success. ...

It takes a lot of courage to get to the “next level” and invest in your business. It is a leap of faith that requires both a new mindset and confidence.

There will be guaranteed success because the commitment of investing will force you to go all in.

You should never feel bad about your relationship with a coach. It’s an obvious idea, but there are still people who get misled and end up hiring a bad or phony coach.

In this episode of Fit Biz U, Jill gives you a few reasons why you should not DIY your biz after reaching a certain point. At first, it might be easy to run your biz all by yourself, but you need to know when to delegate tasks, or you will end up hitting the ceiling. More responsibilities call for more attention, and, although it‘s a “good” problem, it still needs to be addressed. At this point you might feel that it’s time to hire a coach and make investments because, at the end of the day, inv...

If there is a good thing about entrepreneurship, it is that it’s filled with opportunities.

When we’re in the process of hiring a coach or a mentor, there are a few questions worth answering: “Can he or she help me get the results I want?” ; “Is he or she successful in a way I also want to be?” ; “Does he or she look like someone I could develop a friendship with?”. These are all valid questions to ask in order to hire someone. Your new coach should not only have a good energy, but an energy that looks like yours. In this episode, Jill shares tips on what to look for when hiring a busi...

Live business coaching with @christineflorywellnesscoach and we chatted all about how to get in the head of your ideal client, meet them in their current struggles/symptoms (don’t jump to the diagnosis!) and then move them from interested to investment.

Imposter syndrome is a human condition that most people face at least once in their life. It’s that feeling that you don’t know what you’re doing, or you think you’re just not good enough, or you feel like a fraud. In the coaching space, a coach with imposter syndrome might feel they can’t get their clients the results they need.

Not everyone understands and knows about digital business and online coaching. In fact, if your family and friends come from a regular and traditional job they may not comprehend your choice to follow entrepreneurship. This lack of support, although transient, can be really hard and that’s when it is important to really own your decisions and go all in. In this episode, Jill talks about what to do when people don’t “get” what you’re doing. “If you are not on board, how are you going to expect an...

When we put effort into a project, it’s really common to expect results immediately. For example: if you start a weight loss process, you might want to see a few pounds drop within a couple of days… and that’s just not how it works. In business, the idea is the same, being consistent and playing the long game will give people confidence to invest with you. Today, Jill helps you to manage your expectations. “As a personal brand you are in the trust business. People buy from those that they know, ...

One of the main obstacles that new online coaches face with social media is not being able to be consistent. This can happen due to several reasons: the person has other competitive priorities; the person is being too perfectionist with his/her content; or the person thinks no one truly cares. In this episode, Jill talks about how you can apply the “as if” principle into your work in order to be more consistent, creative, and proactive. “If you are willing to sacrifice a little bit of your perfe...

The antidote to comparison is being in love with your own journey. Even though every professional working as an internet business owner wants the same outcome, everyone’s path is unique to them. In reality, your goal is more than likely completely different from your peers' goals.

The Internet biz is all about focusing on your own journey. You can look at what other coaches are doing online, but eventually you will need to be ok with your own sustainable pace. Mindsets revolving around you “not doing enough,” “not successful enough,” or that you “need to do more” will have negative effects on you. In this episode, Jill explains that, yes, there will be enough time to do more; it just doesn’t have to be right now. “If you are getting triggered, or feeling sensitive when yo...

When a person is willing to invest in you, they don’t care about the deliverables of your program (how many tutorials, zoom calls, exercise sheets, etc). They are more interested in what they will get, the result, what you can promise them and whether you can guarantee that your program will work for them. That’s why it’s so important to create a strong promise in the first place. In this episode, Jill talks about the importance of getting more tangible with your promise, in order to make more s...

Your “Elevator Pitch” is the one sentence (maybe two) that explains your online business in an easy way.
