In part 2 of Business and Bullshit with my Bestie, Jill and the Movement Maestro are discussing what it takes to stand out in the online space. You might fear that it’s too saturated to begin, but if you double down on the things that make you great, sell a result your audience really wants, and build meaningful connections, people will trust that you know what you’re doing and will want to buy from you. Whatever comes your way, trust that you can handle it and you’ll be amazed by everything you...

In the past 3 years, Jen went from an online business newbie to a multi-6-figure business owner, all over the age of 50.

How do you know if you’re ready to level up when it comes to your business? It’s normal to have ebbs and flows in your mentorship journey as it pertains to your business—some times are for just putting your head down and grinding, and some times you might need more guidance and new inputs.

You might even be stuck in the time-for-money grind and ready...

Jill makes a point to talk about investing a few times every year not to brag about how much money she’s made or that she invests, but because investing is a personal value system that JillFit is founded upon. JillFit was a DIY business at first, but at a certain point, Jill was forced to hire a coach to get to the next level—and wished she had done it earlier. Investing in coaching is the same as investing in yourself, and there’s no better ROI than that. And besides, when you really break down...

There’s a type of marketing that’s rampant on social media that you’ve definitely seen before, even if you’re not directly familiar, called “lifestyle marketing.” It’s all about showing off a specific lifestyle in order to market your services—it sends the message that by working with you, people might be able to attain the kind of life that you’re living. Many examples lean towards the materialistic, but if that’s not you, that’s okay too! People are drawn to lifestyles that boast of autonomy, ...

Is the fear of success secretly causing you to sabotage your own progress? The idea of fearing success may seem ridiculous, but getting to the next level of success means increased responsibility and having more eyes on you, with a lot of pressure to “keep it up.” That fear of success is really just the fear of failure in disguise, because we wouldn’t fear succeeding if we didn’t fear losing all that we worked for. You might be subconsciously getting in the way of your success so you never have ...

Making mistakes is a part of business. You’ll never reach a point where you’ve learned everything there is to know, which means you’ll “mess up” in some way or another for as long as you run your own business. And if you’ll always mess up, that means these mistakes or problems aren’t because you’re “bad” at what you do, you probably just don’t have enough experience yet, and that’s okay! If you’re planning a launch in the near future, this episode details 9 common mistakes you might be making an...

Every single person has their own set of personal values that influences how they see and interact with the world. As a personal brand, you’ll find that the clients you attract tend to have a similar value system to you, or more likely, want to have the same value system. The more authentically you show up, and the harder lines you draw in the sand when it comes to your values, the more aligned clients you’ll start to attract.

Your online coaching is a part of your business—it’s your product!—but don’t make the mistake of thinking that your client-facing work is what makes up the entirety of your business. When you’re doing client-facing work, that’s working *in* your business, and it requires a very different skillset and energy level than working *on* your business. A lot of newbies make the mistake of saying yes to every client, but that only takes away from your ability to work on your business in more meaningful ...

There’s a universal law in marketing that you’ve probably been a part of without even realizing it: The Law of Reciprocity. It’s no rocket science, but when used well, it can help you reach new heights and create even deeper connections. The Law of Reciprocity states that if you do something nice for someone, chances are good that they’ll want to do something nice for you in return. Generosity never means that you’re owed anything, but it does open the door for people to want to give back. It’s ...

Your confidence may be polarizing. In the online coaching space, confidence is a must. In life, and especially on the internet, people are drawn to confidence and conviction. It’s how your potential clients will know it’s safe to invest with you. However, true confidence can sometimes be off-putting, especially for people who are mired in their own insecurities. We fear showing up confidently because we fear the judgement of these people, but we can’t let it get in the way. If you want massive s...

As you scale your business and start selling offers other than your 1:1 coaching, you’ll start to run out of something called “promotional real estate.” There are only so many places you can talk about your promotions, so when you start to promote new products, you lose the space you once had to sell previous offers, possibly leading to a decrease in sales. It’s totally normal, but for some newer online business owners, this sets off alarm bells and panic starts to sink in. If you can plan ahead...
