427: Wrestling With Change: Seeking God's Vision & Direction in Business and Life

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 22:43:00 -0000

🌱 Feeling God nudging you toward a new direction in your business? You’re not alone. On the latest episode of The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast, I shared my own journey of navigating change, wrestling with a shift in my mission field, and discerning what God is really calling me to do next.

Whether your message, strategy, or purpose is evolving, this season of transition can feel daunting—but it’s also full of promise.

✨ 3 Key Takeaways for Christian Entrepreneurs:

Ask the Right Questions: Reflect deeply—Is there a persistent burden or idea God’s placed on your heart you just can’t shake? What core elements of your vision remain, even as your direction changes?
Discern & Seek Counsel: Set aside time daily for prayer, journalling, and honest reflection. Lean on wise mentors, friends, and prayer partners to help you clarify your next steps.
Embrace Change with Grace: It’s okay if your mission field is shifting. Honor the previous chapter, but be willing to test new messages, serve new audiences, and trust God’s timing as you move forward.

If you’re in a place of reevaluation, know there’s purpose in this transition. Seek God, stay open, and be courageous—you’re being prepared for something significant.

👉 What’s one area where you sense God stirring up change in your business or calling?

Finding Strength and Joy in Challenging Times

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 02:14:00 -0000

After an unexpected 12-month break, I felt led to return to The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast with a message that’s never been more timely: keeping our joy, strength, and hope steadfast, especially when walking through both personal and global challenges.

In this solo episode, I shared my personal journey supporting my husband through a cancer diagnosis, and reflected on lessons the Lord showed me about perseverance, faith, and finding the true meaning of joy—even in dark times.

Here are 3 key takeaways to encourage you, wherever you are on your entrepreneurial journey:

Biblical joy is a spiritual condition, not based on external circumstances. Joy, as a fruit of the Spirit, persists through trials because it’s rooted in our faith and God’s promises.
Be intentional about time with God. Immerse yourself in prayer and His Word, especially when overwhelmed by the world’s noise. In His presence, there is fullness of joy.
Your trials produce perseverance and equip you to encourage others. Look back at challenges you’ve faced—not just as hardships, but as shaping tools for deeper trust and new callings.

If you find yourself struggling to see purpose in the hard seasons, or to hold onto joy, I encourage you to declare God’s promises over your life daily and stay close to Him. You are not alone on this journey.

Let’s keep lifting one another up and remain strong in faith, hope, and JOY.

[Ep#423] How Humility, Trust, and Building a Winning Team Drive Success

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 19:00:00 -0000

Success in business isn’t just about strategy and numbers. It’s about character, trust, and the people you surround yourself with. In the latest episode of The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast, we had the privilege of speaking with Paul Graeve, founder of The Data Group, about how faith and humility have played a vital role in his entrepreneurial journey.

Paul’s path into the data industry was unexpected, but his upbringing instilled in him the values of integrity and perseverance. His story is a testament to how God can guide us in surprising directions, leading to opportunities beyond what we can imagine.

During our conversation, Paul emphasized the importance of character in business, sharing how his experiences shaped his approach to leadership and success. He highlighted the power of trust in financial transactions, explaining how building strong relationships with clients and maintaining integrity is crucial for long-term success.

One of the most impactful lessons he shared was the importance of grace in entrepreneurship - not just in extending it to others but also in giving yourself grace. He spoke about how overcoming self-doubt and embracing God's plan can open unexpected doors in both business and life.

If you’re looking for wisdom on leading with faith, building a business with integrity, and thinking differently about success, this conversation is for you.

Here are three key takeaways:

The Foundation of Humility: Paul shared a powerful story about how a moment of humility led to a lasting mentorship that continues to be invaluable in his life. It's a reminder that recognizing the strengths of others and staying humble can open doors to meaningful relationships.
Trust is Earned: Trust takes years to build and seconds to destroy, especially when money is involved. Paul's experience underscores the importance of finding business partners who remain ethical and steadfast, even when financial stakes are high.
Building Exceptional Teams: Relationships are at the heart of successful teams. Paul emphasizes the importance of truly valuing and connecting with your team members, fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and collaboration. This human-centric approach not only boosts morale but also enhances productivity.

[Ep#422] Why Living with Grace, Building Community, and Pursuing Purposeful Business Matters

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 22:45:00 -0000

Building a business isn’t just about strategy - it’s about heart, faith, and purpose. Andee Hart knows this firsthand. From starting a candle-making passion project in her kitchen to growing a successful wholesale business, Andee’s journey is a testament to resilience, grace, and the power of community. But her story doesn’t stop there. As the founder of She Sells Differently, she’s transforming how female entrepreneurs approach sales, blending integrity, faith, and countercultural strategies to create thriving businesses without the pressure of traditional sales tactics.

In this episode of the Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast, Andee shares why extending grace to yourself is essential for personal and business growth, how surrounding yourself with the right community can strengthen your faith and your success, and why viewing business as a mission field shifts everything.

As you continue on your entrepreneurial path, remember that your business is more than just a career - it’s a calling. Keep moving forward with purpose, faith, and a heart to serve, knowing that when you align your work with God’s will, the possibilities are limitless.

Here are three key takeaways:

Grace is Essential for Growth. Andee emphasizes the importance of giving yourself grace in both life and business. She shares how overcoming self-criticism and embracing God’s grace has allowed her to grow personally and professionally. Without grace, fear of failure can hold you back from stepping into your God-given calling.
Community Strengthens Faith and Business. Surrounding yourself with like-minded, faith-driven individuals is crucial for success. Andee highlights how having supportive friends, mentors, and collaborators has helped her stay encouraged, grounded, and accountable in her entrepreneurial journey.
Business is a Mission Field. Andee believes that entrepreneurship is more than just making money - it’s a way to serve and honor God. She encourages business owners to operate with integrity, pray bold prayers for opportunities to share their faith, and trust that God will use their work to impact others.

[Ep#421] The Importance of Rest & Self-Care to Heal and Restore

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 19:30:00 -0000

Welcome to The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast! I’m your host, Annemarie Cross, and today, I’m sharing a deeply personal update. This episode was originally published on the Ambitious Entrepreneur Show three weeks ago, but the journey I’m about to share is one that I know will resonate deeply with this audience as well.

After stepping away from podcasting for a while, life took us on an unexpected path - one that completely transformed our approach to health and wellness. It began when my husband’s health took a serious turn, and we discovered that his struggles were linked to mercury toxicity from dental fillings. This led us to explore naturopathy, detoxification, and holistic healing.

But that wasn’t the only revelation. Along the way, I learned that I, too, have EMF sensitivity, which sparked a passion for herbal medicine. This journey led me to start growing my own herbal remedies and launch Restore Rophe, a brand dedicated to natural healing solutions.

In this episode, I’ll take you behind the scenes of our wellness journey, the launch of my new business ventures, and how we’re helping coaches and consultants elevate their visibility and attract more clients. Plus, I’ll give you an exclusive look at Industry Thought Leader Technologies, launching in 2025—a game-changer for streamlining business operations.

So, grab a cup of tea and join me as we dive into the power of an authentic message, the importance of self-care, and how faith, natural healing, and business expertise can come together to create lasting impact.

It’s all happening right here on The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast!

Here are 3 Key Takeaways from her latest episode:

Holistic Health and Wellness: Our family's battle with mercury toxicity led me to delve deep into herbal medicine and holistic remedies. I've even started my own garden and launched a brand of herbal teas called "Restore Rophe." Emphasizing the healing properties of nature aligns closely with my Christian beliefs, and I urge everyone to consult open-minded health professionals for a balanced approach to wellness.

Empowering Entrepreneurs with Technology: I've partnered with a U.S.-based business to create Industry Thought Leader Technologies, an all-in-one platform for coaches and consultants. This robust system includes CRM, automated emails, a calendar system, and more, aimed at helping businesses scale efficiently and effectively. Stay tuned for the full launch in 2025

Visibility and Authority: For those feeling underrecognized despite their expertise, I've developed free training and resources to help you build a unique, memorable brand and nurture podcast listeners into leads. Our aim is to position you as a trusted authority in your industry.

[Ep#415] Understanding Our Identity in the Kingdom of God

Thu, 24 Oct 2024 23:14:00 -0000

Welcome back to the show, this is Episode 5 of a special series Signs, Wonders, and Miracles Series, which I am co-hosting with my friend and colleague, Lorellee Colley where we are unpacking the topic of End Time Harvest of Provision and how God is giving understanding, maturing, and positioning for His people to be empowered for the End Times Harvest of Provision.

[Ep#413] How to be Prepared and Postured Correctly for God's Great Wealth Transfer in End Times

Fri, 11 Oct 2024 19:30:00 -0000

Welcome back to the show, this is Episode 3: of a special series Signs, Wonders, and Miracles Series, which I am co-hosting with my friend and colleague Lorellee Colley

Episode 1: We spoke about how God is giving understanding, maturing, positioning for His people to be empowered for the End Times Harvest of Provision.

Episode 2: We spoke the two kingdoms in opposition – God's Kingdom and the kingdom of darkness. Why is this important to know, along with recognising the cultures of each of these kingdoms, especially the Kingdom of God and how we are to operate, so that we can understand with maturity and be positioned for the End Times Harvest of Provision.

And, today we are going to explore further Wealth Transfer, including:

Why are we talking about this now?

What’s prophetic about it?

And, is this for a chosen few?

Here are 3 Key Takeaways from this episode:

Anointing and Daily Affirmations: Lorellee emphasizes that the anointing — the Holy Spirit within us — can be actively cultivated through daily affirmations and faith actions. Referencing Romans 4:17, we delve into the power of calling things into existence through faith.
Positioning for Wealth Transfer: It's crucial to understand and align yourself with God's intent for wealth transfer. Proverbs 13:22 illustrates that wealth isn't merely for personal gain but for advancing God's kingdom. Position yourself correctly to be a part of this divine plan.
Faith Integrated Business Practices: Overcoming self-doubt and integrating faith into your business is essential. God’s provision flows when we combine our practical strategies with an openness to divine guidance. Our businesses can thrive not through excessive toil but through His blessings as highlighted in Proverbs 19.

Here are 3 Key Takeaways from this episode:

🔑 Audrey's Inner Circle Audit: Auditing the 5 closest people we surround ourselves with can have a significant impact on our focus and mindset. If we can't change the people we're around, we can change the conversations we have to ensure we're getting the positivity and support needed to thrive.

🔑 Crunch Time Question: Asking, "If I am to achieve a dream that had previously seemed impossible within the next 12 months, what would I have to let go of, and what would I have to embrace?" is a powerful way to gain clarity and focus on the steps necessary to achieve our goals.

🔑 Focus on the Fix, Not the Fault: Shifting our focus to finding solutions rather than dwelling on faults can be a game-changer. This mindset shift allows us to take responsibility, learn from setbacks, and move forward productively.

Through this experience, she deepened her relationship with the Lord in ways she never anticipated.

Fideliz and Annemarie explore the concept of spiritual warfare, aligning with the Lord's will, and walking in signs, wonders, miracles, healings, and deliverance.

She shares how the app provides Bible verses with personalized explanations that feel like direct messages from Jesus himself.

Moreover, Annemarie's curious nature fuels her journey of seeking answers and understanding different practices and worship styles. Her rebellious nature in the past is seen as a driving force in her current seeking of the Lord's guidance and repentence.

5. Finding Joy in Your Kingdom Identity: Strategies to Overcome Comparison in Business

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 19:00:00 -0000

👑 In this episode, we tackle the topic of "Avoiding the Comparison Trap" that many of us can relate to as entrepreneurs.

Comparisonitis is something that we all go through at some point in our entrepreneurial journey. It can be easy to look at others and feel a sense of inadequacy or envy. But in this episode, our hosts dive deep into the importance of understanding our Kingdom identity and embracing who God has called us to be.

They share personal experiences and practical tips to navigate through comparison and turn it into admiration and empowerment. They also talk about the importance of self-awareness and seeking God's guidance to overcome comparison and find joy and contentment in our own journey.

Whether you're just starting your business or already well-established, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to avoid the comparison trap and stay focused on their unique calling.

Remember that your identity is rooted in the Kingdom, and you are uniquely called and anointed to make a positive change through your business.

2️⃣ Admiration vs Envy: While it's natural to admire and look up to others in our industry, we must be aware when admiration turns into envy. Instead of feeling threatened or resentful, learn to celebrate the success of others and recognize the blessings in your own journey. Each one of us has unique gifts and talents that contribute to the wonderful diversity in the business world.

3️⃣ Healing and Renewal: When comparison triggers negative emotions, it's essential to take action. Consider muting or limiting exposure to triggers on social media and invite God into the process of healing and renewal. Ask Him to help you uncover the root causes of comparison and guide you towards a renewed perspective that aligns with His purpose for your life.

After a 35+ career as a senior executive in financial services, Peter was severed after the merger of TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab. Subsequently, he has written a book titled Taking Stock. In the book he imparts his 10 life and leadership lessons from his seat at the table.

One unique feature is that he uses the Letter of Paul to the Corinthians as a backdrop for a discussion of leadership. Peter concludes that the finest definition of leadership can be found in that biblical passage if you change the words love and it, to leadership.

30. Nurturing Listeners into Leads from your podcast

Sun, 09 Apr 2023 23:46:39 -0000

This is the last of the ListenerIntoLead series – if you haven’t gone through all of them yet, I encourage you to do so. I share all of the things I wish someone had shown me back in 2008 when I started my first co-hosted podcast on how to leverage my podcast to get clients and to build my business.

There wasn’t anyone around at that time and I had to learn through trial and error and many tens of thousands of dollars. So, I’m sharing what I’ve learned so you don’t have to go through the same frustration I did – you can get the right strategy in place and begin to generate results from your very first episode.

Today’s tip is nurturing listeners into leads from your podcast – in fact from your very first episode. If you are still in the process of getting your podcast ready to launch, you can use the tactic I’m about to share with you. And, if you already have a podcast yet you haven’t been able to generate the results you hoped for – you can use this tactic as well, however you’re going to have to do a few more things as part of your overall strategy to make sure it does work for you with your existing podcast.

I share more about the 3-part podcast series in my Profitable and Purposeful Podcasting Masterclass at PodcastingWithPurpose.com/ListenerIntoLead - I highly recommend you get access to it if you haven’t already as it’s jam packed with more information, along with my eBook: Industry Thought Leader: go From Invisible to Influential (and Profitable) with a Podcast.

So that’s how you nurture listeners into leads from your very first episode, with your special 3-part thought leader podcast series.

If you’ve enjoyed this series and want to know more about how you can work with me – I encourage you to get the Masterclass first. Or you may want to join me on my 90-Day Idea to Launch your Podcast Immersive on www.PodcastingWithPurpose.com/Immersive.

[Ep#396] Systematizing your business for freedom

Thu, 06 Apr 2023 20:00:00 -0000

Joining me today's show is Liz Chism.

Liz is a wife, mom, and entrepreneur. Her entrepreneurial journey began in 2014 when she and her husband quit their jobs and started their own craft brewery. They ran that for about 5 years before a series of events caused them to file bankruptcy.

However, while they were still operating their brewery, they went from working 100+ hour weeks to implementing systems and empowering their staff to run those systems which allowed them to start a family, travel, and invest in their relationships and church family.

Many other business owners asked them how they were able to do it, so when they closed, Liz pivoted into being an Operations Coach and helping business create freedom through systems.

On today’s show Liz is going to share:

How systems can create more time to make a bigger impact in the world.
The top mistakes business owners make when creating a systemized business.
How to leverage employees and systems to scale a business.

29. Leveraging your podcast in your Customer Journey

Sun, 02 Apr 2023 20:00:00 -0000

If you’ve accessed my Profitable and Purposeful Podcasting Masterclass, you would have heard me talk about the customer journey and how your podcast can play an integral role in nurturing your customers along the customer journey when you have the right strategy and tactic in place. Make sure you listen to tip #30 as I share more about the tactic that will help you begin to nurture listeners into leads.

The three stages to the customer journey, is Stage 1 Awareness, Stage 2 Consideration and Stage 3 Decision.

Stage 1 – Awareness is when the potential customer is aware they have a problem and they are actively seeking answers. They’ve now come across your podcast and they are listening to you share your insights.

Stage 2 – Consideration is when they have just taken that next step after your call to action - that listener has now become a lead and they are now considering the information you are sharing, they are considering you, they are continuing to build know like and trust, as they continue to consume and engage with the content you are sharing.

Then Stage 3, is Decision – when with another call to action, your listener who has become a lead, is now being nurtured along the customer journey to become an enquiry, they are now either booking themselves on a strategy/discovery call waiting to speak to you about how you might be able to help them.

Which has all started from your podcast, as you continued to build know, like and trust with your listener, nurturing them from Awareness stage, to Consider stage, right through to Decision stage.

As I mentioned in my Masterclass – a customer journey is a strategic sequential set of steps that continue to build know, like and trust and once you have those strategic sequential set of steps in place they can continue to work for you 24/7, 365 days a year.

Have you mapped out your customer journey and how you can leverage your podcast to nurture them through your strategic sequential set of steps?

If not, that’s what I encourage you to focus on. And, if you haven’t already, get access to my Profitable and Purposeful Podcasting Masterclass where I dive even deeper into the customer journey and how to nurture listeners into leads. www.PodcastingWitjPurpose.com/ListenerIntoLead that’s PodcastingWithPurpose.com/ListenerIntoLead

I’ll see you in the next tip.

28. Why the 'end in mind' is crucial for your podcast

Sun, 26 Mar 2023 19:00:00 -0000

On tip #7 of this ListenerIntoLead series you would have heard me share: Where do you start when it comes to your podcast? You start with the end in mind. But not just ANY end in mind.

But a specific end in mind.

Because specificity is key.

For instance a goal of: “I want to build visibility and brand awareness with my podcast” is not specific.

Nor is, I want to grow my podcast downloads to 1,000 downloads per episode – that's not specific either.

Go back and listen to that tip if you want to learn how to be more specific.

Another thing I want you to be clear on starting with the end in mind – is thinking about (a) your overall message and where you want to position yourself as a trusted authority and (b) your overall business model and where specifically you want to lead people along your customer journey, so that you can begin to seed and lead people. I’ll speak more about the customer journey and your podcast in tip 29.

For instance, one of my clients initially wanted to share more about her high level programs, BUT when we looked at her current and former customers we could see that her VIP clients had first begun working in her group coaching programs, which had a lesser investment and from there had become higher level VIP clients.

She also wanted to grow her membership program and she realised if she focused first on growing that and seeding and leading into that program, she could begin to nurture her higher level clients from inside her membership program.

So, her end in mind would be better focused on building her membership program and seeding and leading that within her call to action, rather than speaking about any of her other programs.

So, when it come to your end in mind, think about your current business program pathway and your business model, along with the goals you have for your business? Can you get clear on how best your podcast can support you in achieving those goals? Once you do, you can ensure you have the right strategy in place, the right call to action at the end of your podcast, and the right follow up system that continues to build know like and trust and nurture listeners into leads and ultimately enquiries and paying customers.

But that starts with getting clear on the end in mind and the right podcast strategy to support you.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

27. Building Fans NOT Followers for your podcast

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 19:00:00 -0000

Today’s tip is about the importance of creating fans – NOT followers. Because fans will do business with you and will recommend you, whereas followers will not.

If we look at the definition of fan in the Cambridge dictionary:

“A fan is someone who admires and supports a person, sport, sports team.”

Other words associated with fan include: a devotee, an enthusiast, people who are adoring, are avid supporters, are ardent support.

Whereas let’s look at follower:

“someone who is interested in something.”

So quite different from a fan.

You’ve heard me share more about the Podcast Positioning Quadrant – and the importance of building a highly engaged and highly niched audience – a community of ideal clients who love everything about what you say, what you stand for, they resonate with your values, your voice and your vision – and they need what you have to offer. Therefore they are fans of your podcast, of you. They admire you and support you. They are devoted to you, your message and brand.

Versus someone who is just following you because they are interested in what you have to share.

Big difference.

Fans will binge listen to every episode. Followers just the ones that are of interest and when they get time.

Fans will share your podcast and will engage with you in your community. Followers won’t.

Fans will eventually do business with you, will recommend you and refer you. Followers won’t.

So, when it comes to your podcast, get to know and understand your ideal client so well that you create a unique and compelling listener experience so you continue to build a community of highly engaged fans.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

26. The number 1 rule when it comes to podcasting

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 19:00:00 -0000

You’ve heard me say this before in this #ListenerIntoLead Series and I’ll say it again.

There are NO rules to podcasting other than the rules you set yourself.

And, as the CEO of your business, you get to make the rules AND you get to break the rules if you want to, if you find something didn’t work as well as you had hoped. Or, because you changed your mind about something.

For instance, if you don’t have time to create an ongoing podcast – don't. Just like one of my clients, create an ever-green podcast series and continue to leverage that in your content sharing and seed and lead strategy.

Don’t want to do a long podcast episode? Don’t - keep them 5 minutes. Or 10 minutes, or whatever length that you believe best suits your ideal client.

Remember, your podcast, your rules – you get to make them and you get to break them.

Stop listening to people who tell you your podcast needs to be a certain length, that you need to publish at a certain frequency, or that you need sound effects, and all of the bells and whistles.

Remember, your podcast is a way that you can continue to build an audience of your ideal client, it allows you to continue to build know, like and trust with your ideal client, and when your ideal client is ready to move forward – he/she will take that next step, which is something I’ll be speaking about in tip in upcoming tips.

The only thing I will encourage you to do is make sure you are clear on the goals you want for your podcast (go back to tip 7) and then make sure the rules you set yourself and the strategy you use, best positions you to achieve the goals you want, with your podcast.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

25. Your Umbrella Statement for your podcast

Sun, 05 Mar 2023 19:00:00 -0000

Here’s another shout out to all of the multi-passionate #entrepreneurs who struggle with defining their ONE THING.

Because limiting yourself to just ONE THING seems totally foreign to you.

And, life is too short to just focus on ONE THING.

You’ve got diverse interests, you love learning, and having to choose just ONE THING gives you heart palpitations.

I get it! Guess what?!

You DON'T have to limit yourself to just ONE THING.

However, you DO have to change the way you speak about what you do – especially on your podcast.

Think of the ONE outcome you can help your client achieve through leveraging your unique blend of knowledge and experience you have to offer. Then create an outcome-focused statement you know your ideal client will notice.

☂️ I call that: Your Umbrella Statement.

Here’s an example:

When I worked in the career industry my statement was: Get Noticed, Hired & Paid What You’re Worth.

It's what my clients needed help with.

I offered resume development, interview coaching, job search coaching etc., which sat under that statement.

Now with #businesses I help them: Build their Reach, Reputation (as a trusted authority) and their Revenue, with my expertise in #PersonalBranding, Business and #Podcast strategy.

Over to you.

Think about the ways you can help people and through combining your expertise what is the outcome you help them achieve and developing this into an overarching statement – Your Umbrella Statement.

And then begin sharing that within your podcast. In fact, your Umbrella Statement may just become the tagline of your podcast, or help you refine your podcast name, if you’re still in the process of launching your podcast.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

24. Authenticity is Paramount for your podcast

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 19:00:00 -0000

Ever heard the saying ‘marketers ruin everything’? EVERY Tom, Dick and Harry (sorry to all of the Tom, Dick and Harry’s out there – no offence to you) however just making my point that every sadly unscrupulous marketer under the sun – jumps on the bandwagon overusing something so much – that it can become tarnished.

For me the word ‘authentic’ is integral. My leading Brand Archetype is Explorer and the Explorer is all about pioneering the discover of our truth. So, words such as unique, individual, authentic are words that express what I stand for, what I help people with – helping them identify what’s unique and authentic for them and helping them bring that out into their marketing and content.

So, for me Authenticity when it comes to your personal Brand (and my background is in personal branding) is integral. Which is why one of my core personal branding principles is Authenticity is NOT a buzzword – it's paramount.

Because the opposite of authenticity is fake, which is why I cringe when I hear other marketers tell their clients – just make up a story. Just fake it. Yuk!

You’re a change maker and change makers don’t fake things, they don’t lie.

Instead, being authentic means being genuine and being REAL. The real deal!

And, that’s how you should be on each and every episode of your podcast. Whether you are interviewing guests or doing a solo show on your own.

So, over to you. What does authenticity and being authentic mean to you and what aspects of being authentic will you continue to bring forward on your podcast?

I’ll see you in the next tip.

[Ep#383] Coaches: 3 tips on how NOT to let your message get lost in the noise of your own coaching business podcast

Thu, 23 Feb 2023 19:00:00 -0000

A number of years ago, I shocked people, when I announced, I was going to stop production of my award-winning podcast – The Ambitious Entrepreneur Show.

(What shocked me, was following my announcement I received several messages asking whether I’d be interested in selling it. I had no idea anyone would see that much value in what I had created and would even consider asking whether I would sell it to them, which is a story for another day).

In this week’s podcast episode, I want to share the mistakes I made with my podcast that led me to stop production, so you can avoid making the same mistakes with your coaching business podcast. (Or, if a podcast is something you’re considering that you can avoid these mistakes altogether).

Enjoy the show.

23. Your Unique and Uncopyable Personal Brand on your podcast

Sun, 19 Feb 2023 19:00:00 -0000

If I was to ask you to define Personal Branding – or your Personal Brand – how would you respond?

If you said your Personal Brand is your reputation – you'd be correct.

Personal Branding – or your Personal Brand is not a fad, it’s not a buzz word that some marketers have begun throwing around as the flavour of the day.

In fact, in my former business – a Career Consultancy we were talking about the importance of Personal Branding back in 2000’s. So, it’s NOT a fad at all!

Your Personal Brand is your reputation. It’s what people think about you when your name is mentioned. It’s what people say about you when asked to share their experience.

And, while you can’t control what people think or say about you, you CAN influence it.

By your actions, your interactions, your conversations, - everything can impact your reputation, your Personal Brand.

Positively. Or negatively.

If you do a Personal Brand audit today – would people think and say the exact things you’d want them to say?

Or are you leaving it to chance.

If you asked 5 people (who knew you well) to describe you in 5 words – would the 5 words they use to describe you be the same?

And, more importantly, are they the 5 words you would want them to use to describe you?

Are you showing up on your podcast expressing your personal brand and are those 5 words coming through in your mannerisms and the unique listener experience you are creating?

It should!

[Ep#392] 6 tips on what to do when your message isn't working and you feel like the world's best kept secret

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 19:00:00 -0000

When I first started my career coaching practice – the idea of helping people find a career they loved, was exciting. However, I soon learned what was less exciting, was everything leading up to the getting a client.

From marketing my business (which is even more complicated today for coaches due to the plethora of ways to market your business and many more coaches to compete with), having sales conversations, right through to being able to respond professionally to that cringe-worthy question, “How much do you charge?”

Thankfully, this was over two decades ago, and I’ve learned a lot over the years, which I’ve continued to apply within my podcasting and business coaching practice. However, what has remained the same over all these years is that many coaches still seem to be struggling with the same issues I did.

Is this something you’re struggling with, too?

How to market their coaching business,
How to generate quality leads, and
How to get more clients?

One of the pivotal turning points in my career coaching practice (and that I continue to use in my business coaching business when working with clients on their brand, message and podcast strategy) is to make sure you have a unique and uncopyable message that positions you as an influential trusted authority – THE choice vs just A choice for your dream client.

One of the greatest challenges I find coaches experience when it comes to creating a message that’s unique and uncopyable and that will capture the attention of their ideal client so they can generate quality leads and enrol more of their dream clients is – where do they even start.

In this podcast I’ll share some of the key steps I took, when it came to clarifying my unique and uncopyable message so that you can begin to craft your own.

Enjoy the show.

22. Build Reputation Equity NOT Vanity Numbers

Sun, 12 Feb 2023 19:00:00 -0000

Today’s tip is something that many businesses who are starting a podcast get stuck focusing on. And, that is number of downloads. Just like number of followers across your social media platform, number of likes and comments on your social media posts. We love those numbers don’t we. The higher those numbers – the better.

However, those numbers can so often be misleading. I’ve spoken to colleagues who have had to shut down their podcast – because they just couldn’t generate any business from it – despite their podcast having millions of downloads. You would have heard me share in tip #21 about the Podcast Positioning Quadrant and the quadrant of celebrity. While you may have a lot of followers and in the case of your podcast – a lot of downloads, it doesn’t mean you’re going to be able to monetise your message and have people hire you.

So, my tip today is NOT to get stuck focusing on vanity numbers, but rather building Reputation Equity. Because reputation equity is bankable, vanity numbers are not.

What do I mean when I say Reputation Equity is bankable?

Well, when you’ve got a reputation of bringing valuable insights and a reputation of delivering results in a specific area and there is a real need in that specific area that people are struggling with, when you have the right strategies in place, nurturing listeners into leads – people will hire you.

If you’re a Coach and/or Consultant – who wants to eventually generate clients from the message and content you’re sharing so they invest in YOU, YOUR expertise, YOUR support – then it’s important to focus on building your reputation as a trusted authority, vs building your following.

In fact, if you continue to build your reputation as a trusted authority and continue to share valuable content consistently, you’ll continue to build your audience. However, it may be a smaller niched audience, however far more engaged and more likely to take action as you continue to sew into their lives with the valuable content and message you share.

So, build reputation equity – not vanity numbers, because as I’ve said before – your reputation is bankable. Vanity numbers are not.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

21. The Podcast Positioning Quadrant

Sun, 05 Feb 2023 19:00:00 -0000

In this tip, I want to introduce you to my Podcast Positioning Quadrant, which is a model I developed after observing what was happening with my podcasts, other podcast hosts as well as hosts from mainstream media.

Now because you are listening to this #ListenerIntoLead tip and series, I’m assuming you are a business owner who wants to leverage your podcast to build your reach, your reputation as a trusted authority, as well as your revenue by being able to nurture listeners into leads.

And there are a few things that need to be in place if you want to position yourself as a trusted authority on your podcast.

Your Audience AND your level of Authority

To be seen as a trusted authority you want to have a high level of authority AND also have a highly engaged and highly niched audience.

I share more on my Profitable and Purposeful Podcasting Masterclass, which you can get access to (if you haven’t already) by going to: PodcastingWithPurpose.com/ListenerIntoLead. That’s PodcastingWithPurpose.com/ListenerIntoLead.

However, for this tip, I’ll share what the four quadrants are.

Quadrant 1 is Entertainer, where you would have low audience and low authority. If you’re seen as an Entertainer, you’re going to find it really hard to generate leads and business from your podcast.

Quadrant 2 is Celebrity, where you have high audience and low authority. So while you may have more of a following it’s still going to be difficult for you to be seen as a trusted authority and monetise your message.

Quadrant 3 is Expert, so this is high authority for the particular topic you are covering on the episode, however low audience. So you might have someone come and listen to your episode, but because there are some key strategies missing in your podcast strategy and irresistible listener experience – they won’t come back and listen to another episode, you’ve lost their attention, and they haven’t become subscribers.

Now quadrant 4 is Trusted Authority. This is high on audience and high on authority. You’ve probably heard me say people come for the topic but return for the host – YOU, when you have the right strategy in place, the right elements to create that unique, uncopyable and irresistible listener experience.

Become that trusted authority on your podcast on the Podcast Positioning Quadrant.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

20. Finding the right podcast audience

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 13:00:00 -0000

Want to find the right audience for your podcast?

You’ve probably heard many marketers say you need to share more content, across more platforms, with more frequency so our message can cut through the noise?

So, get your podcast across as many social media platforms as you can, as often as you can.

I disagree with this. Especially if you are a change maker and looking to position yourself as a trusted authority, a thought leader in your industry.

While other marketing coaches are saying more, more, more, I’m saying LESS is more.

Especially when it comes to your podcast.

So, not MORE social media platforms, but the RIGHT platform.

And, when it comes to the right platform for you – it's finding out where the majority of your ideal clients are hanging out and then making sure you are focusing on that platform or those platforms. Rather than being distracted and being stretched too thin because you are trying to share your podcasts across as many social media platforms as you can.

Where does your client hang out?
What are they interested in learning more about?
What’s their most pressing need that you can speak into?
If you’re targeting a cold audience on that platform, how do they prefer to consume your content – in a bit size piece, followed by a link where they can listen to the full show?
Do they prefer to read first, rather than say an audiogram?
Or will you use a combination of micro content to bring your new audience back to your full episode?

So, where do you find the right podcast audience? On the platforms your ideal client hangs out. Because the right podcast audience IS an audience of your ideal clients.

Get clear on who your ideal client is and then go out and find out where they’re hanging out. Then focus on that platform.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

[Ep#389] The purpose of business is to love people appeared first

Thu, 26 Jan 2023 19:00:00 -0000

My guest today says: “Your story is a beacon of hope and change to the people you serve.”

Joining me today's show is Jeremy Reyes

Jeremy grew up in a Christian home. His dad was an entrepreneur, and that ignited a passion in him to be a Christian entrepreneur.

He has a degree in business management, but all of his marketing expertise comes from his own failures in pursuing sleazy/manipulative marketing tactics that left him feeling purposeless and drained in his business.

God has redeemed his business and now he gets to share marketing strategies that align with the purpose God has for his life, as well as his business.

Jeremy now coaches Small Groups of purpose-driven entrepreneurs on how to grow a profitable brand that glorifies God and loves people.

On today’s show Jeremy is going to share:

The purpose of business is to love people, being profitable is just a tool in that purpose. We often mistake our tools for being the purpose, and it never works out.
Sharing your story vulnerably doesn’t ruin the credibility of your business, it increases your capacity to reach & impact people.
Leveraging relationship building systems is the key to expanding your business beyond your own personal bandwidth/capacity.

19. Compelling communication techniques for podcast hosts

Sun, 22 Jan 2023 19:00:00 -0000

Today’s tip is about developing compelling communication techniques. I could spend an entire day on this topic, so for now I want to share in what areas do you want to hone your communication skills and how these can make a difference in the overall success of your podcast.

In terms of success – with compelling communication techniques, not only will you enhance the relationship, while continue to build know, like and trust with your audience, for those listeners who are ready, with the right communication and call to action, you’ll be able to get your ideal client, your listener off the podcast and onto your list. Everytime.

So in what areas can you leverage and develop your communication skills?

Interacting with and guiding the conversation with your guest, no matter what their communication style. You’ll know exactly how to communicate with even the most difficult of guests – from the talkative guests, to the guest who answers in two-word sentences, right through to the spammy guests who continues to promote their books and programs
Knowing when to dive deeper into a topic to unpack it more
Being able to segue seamlessly to the next topic
Knowing when and how to interject when a guest is going off topic or taking too long in answering their question
Knowing what keywords and phrases will resonate best with your audience
Knowing how to seed and lead with integrity. This is one of the strategies I teach clients and when done well, for those listeners who are ready to take that next step – they will, because you have strategically included the right content in just the right place, you’ve built interest and intrigue and for those change makers and action takers – that call to action is just what they needed to hear.

These are just some of the ways you can integrate compelling communique techniques into each and every podcast episode as you continue to build know, like and trust with your audience and nurture listeners into leads.

By the way, if you’d like to improve your communication techniques I’ve created my course: Interviewing with Purpose. You can access it at: www.InterviewingWithPurpose.com that’s InterviewingWithPurpose.com

I’ll see you in the next tip.

18. How to create an uncopyable and irresistible listener experience for your podcast

Sun, 15 Jan 2023 19:00:00 -0000

Today I want to speak about what I mean when I speak about being Uncopyable.

To me and what I’m supporting my clients in identifying are all of the unique and uncopyable elements about who they are, along with their journey and experience that no-one else can copy.

It’s uncopyable because it isn’t their history, their story, their journey. It’s YOUR’s and yours's alone.

Recently, I heard a business owner share that she attended a training and the facilitator told attendees – if you don’t have an interesting story – just make one up.

I don’t know about your definition of ‘make something up.’ However, making something up – faking it till you make it – is a deception, a lie.

And, as the Change Maker I know you are – you don’t need to fake it till you make it, nor do you make something up. You just need to dig deeper and uncover the unique and uncopyable aspects that make you – YOU.

Now, when it comes to creating a uncopyable and irresistible Listener experience there are two more things I want to talk about in this tip that will help you create that uncopyable and irresistible listener experience.

Those two things are your Characteristics (or character traits) and Mannerisms.

Some other character traits could be honest, brave, bold, compassionate, lead, courageous, loyal.

Why are these irresistible? Because they resonate with your ideal client – your listener. Your style and approach – your character and mannerisms are something your listener can relate to and appreciates and is the reason why people come for the topic and return for the host – YOU. You may be speaking about similar topics as other podcasts – BUT the way in which you bring this information to life – your style, your approach, your character and mannerisms.

So, today, take some time to reflect on some of your unique characteristics and mannerisms and bring this out intentionally and purposefully in each and every episode to create that unique, uncopyable and irresistible listener experience.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

[Ep#387] Strategy & Tactic(s): Why both matter when growing your coaching business

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 19:00:00 -0000

Recently, I had conversations with three coaches who were experiencing different challenges that stemmed from the same core issue – a core issue that can keep many coaches stuck.

It’s something I struggled with for many years, which sent me off on a wild goose chase of more courses and training, different business focuses, and what felt like an exhausting treadmill of action taking, but never really being able to build the momentum I needed to grow my business to the level I wanted.

Perhaps it’s something you can relate to as well?

Here are the three challenges, let’s see if you’re able to relate to either of these:

You’ve worked with a coach who has helped you put together a marketing tactic (i.e. a webinar funnel), however it’s not really generating the results you wanted, you’re not currently leveraging the tactic, and you’re unsure you’re targeting the ideal client who you want to continue working with.
The marketing tactic you’re doing to fill your pipeline has left you burned out (i.e. live launching) and you’re questioning whether you still want to work with the ideal client your live launch was targeting.
The marketing tactic you’re doing is working, however because it relies heavily on you, it’s going to be hard to scale, as there is only one of you.

While the topic of strategy and tactic may seem boring – as the title of this article states – Strategy and Tactic matter. Because without a clearly-defined strategy and correctly-planned tactic, you could continue to follow each of the latest marketing trends, try out every new bright shiny technology claimed to be ‘THE answer’ that’s just hit the market, and still continue to struggle to build the momentum you need to build a successful business.

In today’s episode I share a summary of the most common issues you want to avoid and what to do about it.

Enjoy the show.

17. How to define your niched topic for your podcast

Sun, 08 Jan 2023 19:00:00 -0000

Are you a multi-passionate person, who loves to learn, you have many interests and you struggle to define who you are and how you can support people into one succinct statement?

Yeah – me too. I struggled with that for YEARS.

In fact, if you’ve followed me for a minute – you'd have heard me share before how as multi-passionate individuals who LOVE learning, we need to be mindful NOT to let our diverse interests - water down our message.

Because focusing on too many things – without a clear and compelling outcome (which speaks into the outcome our ideal client seeks) will mean our message gets lost in the noise.

In today’s tip I want you to check back over the last 10 pieces of content you shared across your social media platforms, your blog, your podcast and ask yourself – are these aligned to a clear and concise message that positions me as distinguishable, uncopyable and irresistible in a clear area of expertise so I’m building my reputation as a trusted authority in a key area?

Or not? If not, you need to make a decision as to how you’re going refine your ONE thing, which you want to become known for.

What is it that the combination of your experience, knowledge and certifications will enable you to support YOUR ideal client to achieve their goals/outcomes?

For me, it was helping clients stand out, be heard, and become an influential voice in their industry. The trusted authority. THE choice vs just a choice for their ideal client. And then taking their message onto their own podcast platform so they can leverage their podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with the message m they share.

Which is why I’m so passionate about doing this #ListenerToLead series, so you don’t make the same mistakes I did and can get results much faster by speaking to your audience of one.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

16. The importance of speaking to an audience of ONE for your podcast

Sun, 01 Jan 2023 19:00:00 -0000

Do you want to build your reach while become known as a trusted authority in your field with your podcast?

Don’t try to be all things to all people – especially with the message you share.

The broader your message is, the longer it’ll take to build your reach OR be seen as a trusted authority. If ever.

Because your message will get lost in the noise and as I mentioned in tip number 6 – my message got lost in the noise of my own podcast, which was one of the reasons I stopped production.

So what should you be doing instead with your podcast?

Hone your message to a specific niched audience.

And, speak to that niche. Speak to your audience of one.

When you do and you speak into the challenges, he/she faces, along with the desired outcomes he/she longs, as well as invaluable insights on HOW they can begin to achieve that, and it won’t be long before that audience of one becomes two, becomes four, eight, and so on.

Because you become a go-to resource and can continue to nurture your community into leads and enquiries and eventually customers.

But it starts with ONE, clear and highly-niched message that speaks to an audience of ONE.

Get clear on that first!

I’ll see you in the next tip.

15. How to find the perfect guests for your podcast

Sun, 25 Dec 2022 21:55:00 -0000

Today’s tip is answering the question "How do I find guests for my podcast?”

When I first started my co-hosted podcast back in 2008, and for many years after – I never really had a guest strategy.

I just interviewed people who I thought were interesting and could share valuable information for my audience. Which obviously is important, however unknowingly I was leaving opportunities and money on the table because I didn’t have a robust guest strategy in place. Which is why I now teach an entire module on how to establish a robust guest strategy in my 90-Day Idea to Launch your Podcast Immersive program.

So, once you have that in place and you know exactly WHO the guests are that you are searching for – now you can go and find them.

Here’s where I will often find my guests:

Networking events;
Social media platforms – especially Linkedin
Recommendations from trusted colleagues

And, if your podcast, who you are, and what you stand for aligns with the guest and how you approach them – they are more than likely going to agree to come on your podcast and it will end up being a win win win for all parties.

You, your guest and your audience.

So, before you focus on finding your guests, make sure you have a robust strategy in place to ensure the guests you do have on your show contribute to the overall goals you have set for your podcast.

What are they? Well, some of my guests have become clients, referral partners, joint venture partners, have invited me to guest on their podcast and even online summits.

When you attract the right guests and have the right guest strategy in place that’s the kind of results you can achieve.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

14. How to structure your podcast episode to capture attention from the get-go

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Today’s tip is answering the question ‘'What’s the best way to structure my podcast?”

You may be thinking – does it even matter.

And the answer to that question first is – yes it does especially if you’re looking to attract the attention of your ideal client from the beginning of your episode, maintain their attention and build interest and intrigue throughout the episode, right through to the end of your podcast as you share your outro.

If you want to create a unique and compelling listener experience, while engage your audience, educate and share insights they don’t even know they don’t know, while entice them to take the next step, which is to get off your podcast and onto your list (in the most integral of ways) - yes it does and the structure of the podcast is key.

The content you share with a paying customers in comparison to a prospective customer who doesn’t know you well enough yet is going to be different. Your content and structure of your podcast will be different too for people who don’t even know they need you and your services yet.

So, what’s the best way to structure your podcast? Be clear on how you want to leverage your podcast, for instance where on the customer journey will your listener be, and their communication preferences. Once you’re clear on that – you'll know exactly how best to structure your podcast.

13. How to encourage your guests to promote their interview

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Hi this is Annemarie and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead podcast tip for coaches and consultants who want to launch a podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with their podcast. This is tip #13.

Today’s tip is answering the question ‘How can I get my guests to promote their interview?”

If you want to make sure your guests to promote their interview once it goes live here are a few things you need to consider:

Make sure you are inviting the right kind of guests on your podcast – not all guests are created equal. There will be some guests that naturally promote more – because by being featured on your podcast they naturally gain exposure and build their brand awareness, which is a goal they desire. However, there are going to be some guests that just don’t need the added exposure and less likely to share the interview with their community because they don’t need the additional exposure. So, select your guests carefully – because they’re most likely going to be thinking ‘what’s in it for me.” And their goal will be to get in front of your audience, rather than get in front of their own audience, who they are most likely in front of already. Some guests just won’t
Make sure the topic they are sharing is one that they will want to share with their community because it amplifies their message and where they want to position their thought leadership.
If you interview them about a topic that suits you and their audience, yet it’s not adding value to their thought leadership – it'll most likely not be something they’re going to share with their community
And, thirdly, make sharing it with their community as seamless as possible. What creatives are you giving them. Are you providing them with graphics and audiograms, Perhaps even send them some examples of text they can use in their social media posts. Make it as easy for them as possible to share. The less work they have to do, the more likely they will be to share it.
Oh and one last tip – have you told them their show has gone live. And, do you tag them in your social media posts so they can on-share to their community.

These are just some things to consider when it comes to helping your guest help you by promoting their interview with their audience.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

12. How to ensure your podcast stands out

Sun, 04 Dec 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Have you ever asked the question ‘How can I make sure my podcast stands out?’

You’re not the only one. We’ve all asked ourselves that question.

My answer, there are lots of ways you can make sure your podcast stands out. But boiled down – the shortened answer is: if you want to make sure your podcast stands out - make sure it’s outstanding, in every way.

From you being clear on what makes YOU unique and uncopyable in terms of your personal brand, your message, your story, to the unique and uncopyable listener experience you create, to the topics you share on your show, right through to the guests you interview.

If your podcast, the topics you speak about and the way in which you bring this information to life – the listener experience) is the same ol same ol that everyone else is doing – your podcast will not stand out. It’ll get lost in the millions of other podcasts.

If you’re interviewing the same guests as everyone else – and asking the same questions as everyone else – you podcast will not stand out.

And, as a Change Maker – a coach with a message that will literally transform and bring REAL change to your ideal client life and/or business – I know that's NOT what you want.

You were not born to fit in, to be like everyone else, you, your story, your expertise and how you can help your ideal client is MEANT to stand out.

So, make sure you continue listening to the rest of these tips in this #ListenerIntoLead with your podcast series.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

11. Starting a podcast: How to come up with the perfect name for your podcast

Sun, 27 Nov 2022 19:00:00 -0000

What’s in a name?

Everything – because your podcast could just become a saleable asset.

In tip #6, I mentioned how my own message got lost in the noise of my own podcast and I got so bored with the guests I was interviewing that I decided to stop production. I’d had enough.

Now, this was my award-winning podcast, the Ambitious Entrepreneur Show, which not only had won an award but had also been frequently listed in top business and entrepreneurship podcasts.

I was bored and just didn’t want to continue production – so I announced on Facebook that I was stopping production.

Now, a surprising thing happened. Something I did NOT expect, but something that made me realize just how much of a reputation my podcast had built.

I had several messages from people who wondered if I would be interested in selling my podcast.

Would I be interested in selling my podcast – who would have thought that a podcast I had built over the years was something others saw value in and would even express interest in the possibility of purchasing it?

I was gobsmacked.

Long story short – I didn’t sell it and in actual fact, Ambitious Entrepreneur Show is well and truly back in production, has been for some time now, and is again being listed in the top podcasts for entrepreneurship.

However, imagine if I had named my podcast after my personal brand – the Annemarie Cross Show. It would be very difficult for anyone to take over that podcast – unless of course, they rebranded it their own. However, typically if you name your podcast your personal brand your audience is typically people who follow you because of your brand, your charisma, your celebrity if you will – I'll speak more about the Podcast Positioning Quadrant in tip #21, where a podcast with your personal brand name, is going to have a different overall strategy and end in mind that if you called your podcast a name that was able to be taken over by a person or persons who had a similar passion and expertise that could be offered to your audience.

So, how to choose the right name for your podcast?

If you want to build a community of your ideal clients AND potentially build up your podcast to be a valuable asset that down the track someone would be willing to pay you for? It means everything.

Choose wisely.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

[Ep#386] The power of trusting God with everything

Thu, 24 Nov 2022 19:00:00 -0000

My guest today says, “There is no courage without fear being present first.”

Joining me on today’s show is Rachael Evans.

Rachael Evans is the 45-year-old CEO and Founder of The Workshop Whisperer and Brave Media Network. She’s also a wife and mum in a blended family of 6 children. She’s been a disruptor most of her life, and that goes doubly so in business.

Rachael blazed a path in the automotive industry to grow a successful online business coaching platform that helps auto repair shop owners to achieve business success, and also work with 7 and 8-figure female entrepreneurs looking for that last little elusive piece of fulfillment that allows them to feel like they really do have it all.

On today’s show, Rachael is going to share:

How fear means go. It does not mean turning and running the other way.
No one is coming to save you or give you a free leg up. You will be the one to save yourself.
Bravery is not just for strong men. We, women, have it in bucketfuls

10. Starting a podcast: How often should you publish your podcast?

Sun, 20 Nov 2022 19:00:00 -0000

How frequently should you publish your podcast?

If you’ve heard my response to tip #9 with that question: How long should your podcast be, I’m going to use the exact same response I gave to tip #9, to this question of how frequently should you publish your podcast, which is: It depends.

Again, there are no rules to podcasting other than the rules you set yourself. And that’s the same when it comes to frequency and how often you should publish your podcast.

The better question would be: What is the overall goal of your podcast and how do you plan on leveraging your podcast to help you achieve that goal?

Also, what time commitment do you have? And, how are you best going to repurpose and leverage your podcast?

One of my alliance partners publishes their podcasts when they have an episode to share. That's because they interview premium members and if they have no new premium members – then there are no interviews. Their podcast was recently listed as #1 for Australian Women in business. And, their podcast continues to be one of the best ways they generate leads and inquiries from potential members for their network.

Another client of mine had NO interest in doing an ongoing podcast, so we created an evergreen podcast series that he leverages as part of his content creation strategy and seed and lead strategy. If he ever decides down the track to do another series, he can. If he were to free up some time and have the desire to start an ongoing more regular podcast publication – he can. It will depend on him and what’s going on in his business.

Another client of mine releases an interview with a guest once a month and has a shorter solo show every other week, so following more of a publication schedule of a podcast every 2 weeks. That best fits her schedule and overall podcast strategy.

So, again how frequently should you publish your podcast? It depends. On you and your overall goals that you want to achieve and how your podcast will help you get there.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

[Ep#385] Take every thought captive

9. Starting a podcast: How long should your podcast be?

Sun, 13 Nov 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Another question I’m often asked is: How long should my podcast be?

And, if that’s something you’re wondering too, my answer to you would be: It depends.

You may have heard me say before: there are NO rules to podcasting other than the rules you set yourself. And, those rules are going to depend on various things.

When it comes to the length of the podcast – it depends on a number of facts:

- How long do you need for you to get your message across? If you need 5 minutes – don't stretch it out to 20 minutes because someone’s told you, a good podcast length is 20 minutes.

That’s ridiculous.

Tell your ideal client what they need to know, tell them what the next step is and how they can find out more, and finish it up. If it takes 5 minutes – then 5 minutes it is.

If you need 10 minutes or 20 minutes to share it, it’s concise, it’s compelling, connects with your ideal client and the content in your podcast continues to build know, like, and trust and continues to nurture them along the customer journey – then take 10 minutes, take 20 minutes.

Another thing to consider – who is your ideal client? How long do they have to listen to your content? Are they driven and like people to get to the point? Well, get to the point on your podcast. One of my clients works with C-suite executives who are driven, they want access to thought leadership content when it comes to leading top-performing teams, so she keeps her solo shows, concise and to the point. Her interviews are slightly longer however the conversation is always on point, with actionable insights.
Are they time-poor? Another one of my clients works with busy mums – therefore her podcasts were between 10-15 minutes. Enough time for her to listen as she was driving and picking up her kids from school.

So, how long should your podcast be? How long do you want it to be in order to say what you want to say and share what you want to share in a way that’s going to continue to build know, like and trust and nurture your listener into a lead with your podcast?

That’s how long it should be.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

8. Starting a podcast: Which is the best microphone

Sun, 06 Nov 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead podcast tip for coaches and consultants who want to launch a podcast to nurture listeners into leads, get clients and build their business with their podcast. This is tip #8. In tip #7 I shared that one of the most common questions I’m asked by coaches who are thinking of starting their podcast is – where do I start?

The second question I’m often asked is this: What’s the best microphone for my podcast?

The answer is simple: The best microphone is the microphone you have available to you right now.

However, before we even begin to consider technology – one of the questions I asked them is why do you want to start your podcast? And, if the answer is “because I’m just not generating the clients I want and I feel like the world's best kept secret and I’ve heard a podcast will help me get my message out to more people.” that response is a red flag.

Why?

Because if their message isn’t working already, if how they speak about themselves and the services they offer, is not generating interest and inquiries – I would rather focus on getting their message right first and THEN launch a robust podcast strategy to help them expand their reach and visibility with a message that works.

Because a podcast will help you amplify your message BUT if your message isn’t working, your podcast will only amplify your message which is not working for more people, so you’ll end up possibly confusing even more people.

So rather than focusing on the make and model of a microphone – focus FIRST on your message.

That’s because you cannot edit and mix compelling content that converts, you cannot edit and mix content that nurtures listeners into leads from content that doesn’t make sense, that’s not compelling, that speaks directly to the heart of your ideal client and what he/she is struggling with – even if it was recorded on the BEST microphone available.

So, worrying about what microphone to get if your message isn’t already working is the wrong thing to focus on. The best microphone will depend on a number of factors, so keep that in mind as you continue your research.

But most importantly of all, your MESSAGE and working that out BEFORE you worry about the model and make of microphone is crucial.

I’ll see you in the next tip.

7. Starting a podcast: Where do you start?

Sun, 30 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0000

One of the most common questions I’m asked by coaches who are thinking of starting their podcast is – where do I start?

So in this tip I want to share what I share with them and with all of my clients and my community.

Where do you start when it comes to your podcast?

You start with the end in mind. But not just ANY end in mind.

But a specific end in mind.

Because specificity is key.

For instance a goal of: “I want to build visibility and brand awareness with my podcast” is not specific.

Nor is, I want to grow my podcast downloads to 1,000 downloads per episode – that's not specific either.

If we look at those two examples – being more specific with the first example of “I want to build my visibility and brand awareness with my podcast’ could become: “I want to build my visibility and brand awareness as a trusted authority as a coach/consultant for high-earning Reals Estate Agents in the commercial real estate space, helping them go from 7-figure to 8-figure deals.

And, if we look at the second example, where originally we said “I want to grow my podcast downloads to 1,000 downloads per episode’ to “I want to build a highly engaged community of multi-six figure coaches who are ready and need support to take their business to 7-figure incomes, with my podcast playing an integral role in my relationship building strategy and constantly growing to 1,000+ downloads per episode.

Both of those examples, I’m sure you would agree when from quite broad statements to specific and highly focused statements.

Why is that important?

Because being specific allows you to be more focused AND strategic in your planning, the content you share, HOW you position yourself, WHERE you share your podcast, the keywords and phrases you use.

It impacts everything.

So, tip #7 when starting a podcast – where do you start? You start with the end in mind – and that end in mind is having clarity AND specificity when it comes to your message and monetization strategy for your podcast.

How clear and specific are you when it comes to your podcast and the overall goals you want?

I’ll see you in the next tip

6.Mistake5: Your message getting lost in the noise of your own podcast

Sun, 23 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Hey, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead tip. This is tip #6. And this is the last of the main mistakes that I made when I started my very first co-hosted podcast 13 years ago, which we did for two years, and then even continued to do over the years with the other podcasts that I had.

I'm sharing these mistakes with you so that you can avoid making them and therefore not have to go through the frustration that I did. But rather launch your podcast and start generating real results from your very first episode.

And this tip is not to let your message get lost in the noise of your own podcast. What do I mean by that? Well, I've made this mistake several times across a number of my podcasts.

I see this happen time and time again, going back to one of the other mistakes that I shared with tip #3 and that mistake was comparing podcasts to mainstream radio. Like what I did, I did that and other shows have done that to other podcast hosts and businesses have done that, too. So what they ended up doing was they got together and a number of guests interviewed them and then at the beginning or the end or right in the middle or somewhere along those lines, they would put a little ad in there about their own business and hope that as the host, someone would hear that. Then they would hope that someone would go, "Oh, I need that".

Do not let your message get lost in the noise of your own podcast. I had someone else come to me because they had a massive production. They had hired someone that had come from the radio space mainstream radio. That's exactly what they did as well. They interviewed all of these people from business, and then they incorporated ads within their podcast episode, which promoted their particular business, your message is going to get lost in the noise of your own podcast.

Get clear on your message, and make sure your podcast is highly niched with the topic and the guests that you have. As I mentioned in a previous mistake, monetize your own message but don't do it in a way where you're getting all of these guests and then you're throwing an ad in there hoping that one of your listeners will go "Yeah, I actually need a fitness coach" or "Yeah, I actually need some financing capital financing for my business". When the topics that you're talking about the guests that you're having, and the overall name and positioning of your podcast are anything but fitness for business professionals, for businesses who want to make a bigger impact in the world, or financing whatever that that demographic of the client is, make sure your podcast is themed and positioned so that you can step up onto that virtual platform and begin to build a high niche audience of your ideal clients that you can continue to build know, like, and trust with.

So that was Tip #6, the last of the mistakes. I look forward to speaking with you in the next tip, where I answer some of the questions that I have been asked over the years.

I'll see you in the next tip.

5. Mistake 4: Focused on a large audience vs niched audience

Sun, 16 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Hey, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead tip. This is tip #5, I'm still covering some of the mistakes that I made 13 years ago when I started my very first podcast.

It was a co-hosted podcast that started in 2008. Go back to a couple of tips. And I share a little bit more about why I started back in Tip #2, I believe it is, but today, I'm covering tip #5. And that mistake is focusing on building a large audience versus a niched audience. Now previously, I've mentioned that we used to compare our podcast to mainstream radio, it really was the only thing that we can compare it to. We think an audio radio podcast is audio obviously now there's a video as well and live to stream. But back then it wasn't.

I know even over the number of years that I've continued podcasting, one of the questions that I'm often asked, is do you have sponsors on the show? And I would say 99.99% of the time, I say no, we don't because I recognize the value of a highly niched audience. And I know that the know, like, and trust that I have built with my community, with my listeners, I do not want to break because all of a sudden I've got these random ads from organizations that have paid me pittance in comparison to if my audience steps into my programs, VIP coaching programs, but training and such highly niched audience is much better than a large audience.

And I've said it before, I'll say it again, I would much rather have a high niche, more highly engaged, a smaller audience of my ideal clients who love what I talk about, who are benefiting from it, who are hiring me, who are sharing my content, and recommending me to their colleagues and people that they know that would potentially need my services, than having a huge audience of people that maybe are enjoying the content, however, they're not really taking action, they're not hiring me, they're not generating any leads for me or even referrals and recommendations of my ideal clients.

I always say to speak to an audience of one. And when you really are speaking, beautifully cutting through the noise for that audience of one. That audience of one and will become four, become eight and 16, and so on and so forth.

So, mistake number five, focusing on building a large audience versus what you should be doing, focusing on building a niche audience. And that means it could be a smaller niche audience. But a smaller niche audience that is more highly engaged, is ultimately going to allow you to monetize your own message, which I talked about in tip #4, rather than monetizing someone else's, which is something that you should be focusing on to monetize your own message.

So hope that tip was helpful. Don't focus on building a large audience. Vanity numbers are not bankable. Rather focus on building a niche audience that is far more highly engaged and more likely to hire you. As you continue to build know, like, and trust.

I'll see you in the next tip.

[Ep#383] Coaches, Why LESS really is MORE to grow your brand and business

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Have you heard the saying ‘Less is more."? It’s a paradox – an oxymoron, that has been used across many industries.

In fact, it’s something I’ve said too when it comes to a coach developing their message and content: Less IS More.

How so?

I share more in today’s episode.

4. Mistake 3: Focusing only on sponsorships

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead tip. This is tip #4, which are the mistakes I made 13 years ago when I started my very first podcast.

This tip follows on from tip #3 – comparing and thinking a podcast is like mainstream radio, which is not. Your podcast audience, especially if you are attracting a niched audience of your ideal clients – can be far more engaged than a large audience of people just listening for entertainment or easy listening, which is what you would typically find with a radio station.

Which leads to the next mistake my cohost and I made, which is to assume in order to best monetize your podcast - you do that through advertising and sponsorships.

Don’t get me wrong – sponsors are certainly a way to monetise your podcast and can work well if you have a specific business model that is best suited to sponsorships.

However, for a service-based business – a coach with expertise in your podcast is better positioned to continue to showcase your expertise, while creating an audience of your ideal clients who you can continue to build know, like and trust and then begin to nurture listeners who are ready to make that next step, nurture them into leads by getting them off your podcast and onto your list. I share more about that in my Profitable & Purposeful Podcasting Masterclass about this exact step I use on my podcast and now teach all of my clients. I’ll share the link so you can get access to the Masterclass at the end of this tip.

Building a community of your ideal client, continuing to build know like and trust, and nurturing listeners into leads and ultimately customers is how you monetize your podcast. You monetize your message.

I’ll share more in upcoming tips in this series.

[Ep#382] ‘Fear NOT for I am with you’, says the Lord

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0000

I listened to an interesting podcast episode about ‘fear’ and how fear is being used both as a weapon and is itself a spirit of fear. I totally agree. It’s why many of us have been speaking out for over two years for people to be discerning and mindful as to whom and what they listen to.

As Christians, hearing that fear is a weapon and a ‘spirit of fear’ shouldn’t shock us, nor should we dismiss it, either. Because the Lord told us we were not fighting man, but rather powers and principalities, which we know as fallen angel (who parades himself as the angel of light) satan and his evil minions. And, since the spirit of fear is both a spiritual entity and a weapon, it’s no wonder the Lord told us NOT to FEAR - ANYTHING.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish

Isaiah 41: 10

Fear NOT for I am with you.

Have we followed the Lord's instruction for us NOT to fear in all areas of our lives - even when our leaders continue to speak fear over us? And, as the world continues to crumble around us? Or, did/do we allow the patterns of the world, what’s happening in the world, and what we were being told and continue to be told, to cause fear and anxiousness?

Have we come into agreement with fear and partnered with fear, rather than listening to what the Lord said when He told us NOT to fear - anything, no matter what?

FEAR NOT for I am with you.

If we have, the good news is, there is forgiveness when we seek it AND the wonderful news is we can continue to combat fear (and any other satanic attack for that matter), enabling us to stand against these evil powers and principalities when they come calling.

3. Mistake 2: Comparing podcasting to mainstream radio

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead tip. This is tip #3, which are the mistakes I made 13 years ago when I started my very first podcast.

My co-host and I assumed this too, however, we were wrong.

In fact, when my cohost and I hired mentors to help us monetize our podcast (back in 2008-2010) - many of them had come from mainstream radio and suggested we monetize our show with advertising and sponsorships.

However, one of the things we didn’t realize back then (which I know now) was the incredible value of a smaller yet highly niched and highly engaged audience.

And, how with a smaller highly niched audience you were far better to monetize your OWN message before you monetize someone else's.

I share more in today’s tip.

[Ep#381] A story of the miraculous moves of God

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Welcome to the first episode of our BEtheDifference Series where we speak to people who are making a difference in the world with their message and their mission.

So, what happens when you surrender yourself fully to the Lord to take on one of His assignments? A difficult and potentially dangerous assignment, where you had no idea how you would even fund the project?

Miracles happen. And, lots of them.

From money to fund projects (where there was previously, none), through to plane tickets (that were previously sold out and impossible to get) and many other things that occurred when Diana Abruzzi made a promise to the Lord.

Diana Abruzzi is the Chairman and Founder of the International Women's Federation of Commerce and Industry (IWFCI) - the first Chamber of Commerce for women in the world at the time of its inaugural meeting in 1992 in Melbourne Australia.

Diana is a pioneer and leader in the cause of free enterprise and economic development. From championing the advancement of women in business around the world to giving a stronger voice for Australia at international forums on entrepreneurial economic initiatives to business and personal development.

Let’s listen in as Diana shares her story.

2. Mistake 1: Assuming people would listen and want to hire us

Sun, 25 Sep 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Hi this is Annemarie and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead tip.

This is tip #2, which are the mistakes I made and wish I had avoided 13 years ago when I started my very first podcast.

As businesses we know it can take multiple touchpoints for people to get to 'know, like, and trust' you.

And, there’s a difference between your audience building 'know, like and trust' with you as a podcast host versus listening to you and building ‘know, like, and trust’ through the lens of ‘do I want to work with this person?’

In fact, I would say that a majority of your audience is not really looking to buy, but rather to learn, to be inspired, and/or to find and answer to a solution. They’re not really in buying mode.

But there are some subtle things you can do...

I share more in today’s tip.

1. Podcasting vs Podcasting as a business?

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Hi, this is Annemarie, and welcome to another #ListenerIntoLead tip. This is tip #1.

A question I was asked once was "Is there a difference between podcasting and podcasting as a business?" My answer was, yes, absolutely there is a big difference.

It’s easy to start a podcast. We have incredible tools and technologies at our fingertips making it very easy to press record, start speaking or interviewing a guest, then uploading to a podcast host. Congratulations – you are a podcaster.

However, starting a podcast as a business, to build your visibility and reach and build an audience of your ideal clients, while building your reputation as a trusted authority, so you become THE choice vs just a choice while building your revenue as you begin to nurture listeners into leads, inquiries and ultimately paying customers – well that’s another matter altogether. It takes the right strategy and the right steps to get everything in place.

Just like it’s relatively simple to start a coaching business. However, starting a coaching business that’s profitable and scalable, well that’s another matter altogether, It takes the right strategy, the right steps, and the right systems, to ensure you are able to grow your business the right way.

And, it’s the same when it comes to podcasting as a business.

So, is there a difference between podcasting and podcasting as a business? Yes, there is!

Which is what this ListenerIntoLead series is all about.

In the next few tips, I’m going to share the mistakes my cohost and I made and what I know to do differently so you can start to generate results from your very first episode.

I’ll see you in the next #ListenerIntoLead tip.

30. People will talk about you anyway – wouldn't you like to influence what they say?

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Hey, it’s Annemarie - welcome to another 30DaystoDistinction tip where I’ll be sharing 30 tips over the next 30 days as part of our 30DaysToDistinction Challenge to help you become distinguishable, uncopyable and irresistible, so you are THE choice vs just A choice for your ideal client and can continue to bring real change in your sphere of influence with your message and expertise.

This is Tip #30 – wow, we made it!!!

If I was to ask you to define Personal Branding – or your Personal Brand – how would you respond?

If you said your Personal Brand is your reputation – you'd be correct.

Personal Branding – or your Personal Brand is not a fad, it’s not a buzzword that some marketers have begun throwing around as the flavor of the day.

In fact, in my former business – a Career Consultancy we were talking about the importance of Personal Branding back in the 2000s. So, it’s NOT a fad at all!

Your Personal Brand is your reputation. It’s what people think about you when your name is mentioned. It’s what people say about you when asked to share their experiences.

And, while you can’t control what people think or say about you, you CAN influence it.

By your actions, your interactions, your conversations, - everything can impact your reputation, your Personal Brand.

Positively. Or negatively.

If you do a Personal Brand audit today – would people think and say the exact things you’d want them to say?

Or are you leaving it to chance?

If you asked 5 people (who knew you well) to describe you in 5 words – would the 5 words they use to describe you be the same?

And, more importantly, are they the 5 words you would want them to use to describe you?

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

Thu, 08 Sep 2022 20:00:00 -0000

As a coach, do find yourself offering your client a discount to influence them into investing in your program or package? Or do you cave in and offer a discount when your prospect asks for one?

If you’ve answered yes to either one of those situations you’re certainly not alone. Annemarie admits this is something she’s done in the past, too. However, over the years she’s realized this is not the best approach to making a sale, while remaining true to her personal values and business growth goals.

29. When doubt threatens to take you out

Sun, 04 Sep 2022 20:00:00 -0000

I've spoken to SO many aspiring entrepreneurs over the last decade (or so) who were all at the beginning of their journey of finding their 'THING'. Their INNER BRILLIANCE (as I like to call it).

[Disclosure: I can SO relate to this, as it has been my own journey too].

At the core of our Inner Brilliance is often an innate talent - a strength that comes naturally to us. And, because it comes so naturally to us, it's often easy to discredit.

So, we end up searching, learning, searching, doing more learning, more searching, and more learning. Trying to find OUR thing.

Sadly, for many the journey of learning and searching never really comes to an end. Because, despite how hard they work at making it work - it never really does work. Or, not to the level they really wanted it to.

And, that's because they are missing that one, fundamental thing. They continue to disregard that innate talent - that strength, their Inner Brilliance.

However, herein lies the gold.

It's NEVER too late.

So here are some of the things I've learned over the years:

Stop doubting yourself. Doubt is a lying THIEF! Tell doubt to F-off.
Stop searching for answers that are already there in front of you. You just need to look with renewed hope and expectation. It IS there - take the time to dig a little deeper.
Start listening to the people around you who continue to comment about certain aspects of you and how you show up. THIS is evidence of your Inner Brilliance.
Start listening to the compliments people say to you. DON'T discredit what they say, as this is a way to undervalue yourself.
Stop looking at what other people are doing. They don't have your strengths and Inner Brilliance. They haven't walked your journey; or developed and honed your strengths; nor do they have the same passion and purpose as you. Find YOUR's.

Because when you do; it won't seem like work. It will flow. Yes, you need to take action, and LOTS of action - but it won't seem hard, because you are loving what you do.

Trust me. I know. Because it's been my journey (from the age of 15 - if truth be known). So, I've breathed it. I've lived it.

And, actually it's because it IS my Inner Brilliance.

It's why I became a Career Coach - some several decades ago.

It's why I still love helping other entrepreneurs discover their Inner Brilliance.

It's why I love interviewing my podcasts guests and creating an environment and a platform that enables them to showcase their brilliance

It's why I do what I do.

So, my question to you - what's your why? What's your Inner Brilliance?

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

[Ep#377] Renewal of the mind, to believe God for supernatural provision and protection in the last days.

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Last year, I did a livestream with my friend and colleague Karen Culjak. She was also a speaker on my recent Summit – BEtheDifference on the topic: YOU: A NEW Creation in Christ and what that means.

The information Karen shared last year in November 2021 is still as relevant today as it was then. In fact, very much so, which is why I’m sharing it on this podcast.

Without any further ado, here’s a little more about Karen and what we discuss.

Karen Culjak is a devoted Christian who loves Jesus! She’s also a qualified life coach, who specialises in mindset coaching, psycho-spiritual therapy, and training people in Mental Health First Aid.

She’s passionate about transformational growth and works with change-makers from all walks of life, who are uncompromisingly committed to renewing their minds, to the mind of Christ, so they can live their lives aligned to their true God-given purpose and potential.

On a personal note, she’s married with a blended family of 6 adult children and 3 grandchildren; and she enjoys camping, caravanning, and 4wdriving, to explore the great outdoors when time permits.

On today's episode Karen and I will be discussing:

The importance of renewing the mind to believe God for supernatural provision and protection in the last days; -
Mindset: your perspective and programming especially when it comes to your identity;
Mind renewal: Psycho-spiritual therapy, examining fruit, and identifying default programs that can limit our potential;
Source of security: System or Saviour, and much more

28. Build Reputation Equity NOT Vanity Numbers

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 20:00:00 -0000

If you’ve been following along during the last 28 days during our 30DaysToDistinction Challenge, Tip #19 was when I shared the importance of building Reputation Equity vs Vanity Numbers – because your reputation is bankable, especially as a coach and consultant who wants to be seen as a trusted authority and have clients invest in your programs – and vanity number are not.

If you’ve attended one of my Profitable and Purposeful Podcasting Masterclasses for Coaches and Consultants you would have heard of me sharing more about my Podcast Positioning Quadrant.

One of the Quadrants is Celebrity, with the Celebrity scoring High on Audience, but low on Authority. They are High on Audience because they have a charisma about them that attracts and engages, they most likely have quite a large following of regular viewers/listeners.

BUT you would not hire that person to do your taxes, represent you in a court of law, or perform brain surgery on you. Because you wouldn’t see them as a trusted authority and someone you would hire for their specific support.

If you’re a Coach and/or Consultant – who wants to eventually generate clients from the message and content you’re sharing so they invest in YOU, YOUR expertise, and YOUR support – then it’s important to focus on building your reputation as a trusted authority, vs building your following.

So, build reputation equity – not vanity numbers.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

[Ep#376] Breaking through Spiritual Strongholds that'll Keep you Stuck from Living out Your Kingdom Purpose

Thu, 25 Aug 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Welcome to another episode. In today’s show, I wanted to replay my session which was part of my #BEtheDifference Summit I ran recently. I was one of 12 speakers specifically for Kingdom-focused Entrepreneurs, Truth Seekers & Rebels with a cause: How to champion REAL change in a culture of compromise with renewed unbreakable, unshakeable Faith & Courage

My topic was: Breaking through Spiritual Strongholds that'll Keep you Stuck from Living out Your Kingdom Purpose

I’m sure you’d agree that there are things being said and shared in the world today – that are in total contrast to what the Lord has said and what the Lord created.

In this episode I speak about something I’ve recently heard and how it reminds us of the Bible verse in Romans 12: 22 where we are told:

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approach what God’s will is – His good, pleasing and perfect will.”

I share more in this episode, while also extending another invitation to our upcoming #BEtheDifference Summit, where I will be speaking about how to break through spiritual strongholds that can keep you stuck from living out your kingdom purpose.

If you liked this episode and session from the #BEtheDifference Summit and you want to get access to all of the speaker’s sessions, including:

27. Right Tactic – Wrong Timing for You and Your Business, Right Now

Sun, 21 Aug 2022 20:00:00 -0000

You only need to look online to find numerous marketers talking about how you need to do this in order to get more clients, or this new bright shiny object is THE answer. Whatever the tactic, or whatever the bright shiny tool there’s one key thing that none of these marketers talk about.

And, that’s - just because you can – doesn't mean you should.

Just because you can (fill in the gap of the tactic or bright shiny tool) - doesn’t mean you should. Because it might be a GREAT tactic, a GREAT tool, that is right for someone else and it may be right for you BUT not right now in your business.

So, right tactic, wrong timing.

Even the best thought-out strategy may not be the RIGHT strategy for you, become it’s the WRONG timing for where you’re at in your business.

For instance, a podcast is a great marketing strategy IF your message is already working.

If your message isn’t working and you’re hoping a podcast will turn things around - it won’t.

Because a podcast will only amplify a message that isn’t working, to a lot more people. So, be mindful of the strategies and tactics you implement. Because you may be falling into the trap of RIGHT strategy, WRONG timing for your business.

Another example could be writing a book. Writing a book is a great way to build your authority, however similarly to a podcast if you haven’t clearly defined how you’re going to leverage your book, you’re unclear on what you want to become known as a trusted authority in, and your message isn’t working – then writing a book at this time is WRONG timing.

Have a think about some of the marketing and tools you’ve been using in your business. Are they working as well as you’d hoped?

Perhaps it’s because they are a great tool or marketing strategy BUT just wrong timing for you with the state you’re at in your business.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

[Ep#375] A Success Story to Model with Karen Crowell

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Have you got diverse experience, along with the number of roles you’ve had in your life, so-much-so you’re finding it difficult to clearly define your message and your business focus – nothing really captures the essence of who you are and the unique blend of what you have to offer?

You’re not alone – this is exactly what Karen Crowell had been experiencing for years. Despite her diverse background, rich knowledge, her experience and ways she could support clients – she had just not been able to capture what she did in a concise, succinct and empowering unique and uncopyable message, brand, and offering.

Until now.

What changed? What did she do? She shares her journey in today’s interview, which I’ve titled a success story to model.

Full disclosure, Karen is one of my clients and her interview covers her experience and what happened as she has been working with me, and I know it’s going to be incredibly helpful for you, if you are a coach or a consultant who too, is struggling to clarify and capture the essence of who you are and the unique blend of what you offer in a concise, succinct and empowering unique and uncopyable message, brand, and offering.

Let’s hear from Karen.

26. Your Call to Action – why the ‘next step’ is important

Sun, 14 Aug 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Whenever you create a piece of content there has to be an end in mind AND a next step that you encourage your ideal client to take that gets them into the next step, the next phase of the customer journey as you continue to build know, like and trust.

The purpose of your content is of course to bring value, position yourself as a trusted authority, with the content so good, that when you invite them to take the next step, your ideal will.

When it comes to your content, think about the 3 ‘E’s

Educate
Engage
Entice

Educate your ideal client with valuable insights, engage and build know like and trust by ensuring your message resonates with them, and then entice them and seed and lead to the next step. Invite them to take that next step.

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

25. Why Repurposing Content is Important

Sun, 07 Aug 2022 20:00:00 -0000

This is Tip #25.

And it’s all about the importance of repurposing your content.

Now, before you roll your eyes and go ‘Annemarie, we already know that!’

Let me ask you a question – are you repurposing your content?

Across different platforms at different times AND by leveraging different mediums?

It’s important, because:

It can take multiple times for someone to finally take action, which can be for a number of reasons from they’re not quite ready yet, they may to struggle through on their own and need to get to that frustration point where the cost of NOT doing something and investing in help is greater than them struggling on their own, and
Not everyone consumes content in the specific way you are sharing it so will appreciate you leveraging a different medium to share it.

For instance, you can:

Write an article
Take that article and create an infographic from the main points
Take that article and create a video
Take that video and strip the audio and include on your podcast
Take points of that article and create a slideshow

[Ep#373] Do NOT Conform to the Patterns of this World

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 20:00:00 -0000

24. Innovate – even 1% difference can be the difference

Sun, 31 Jul 2022 20:00:00 -0000

As I mentioned yesterday in Tip#23, as someone who is looking to build your thought leadership - be mindful of the tactics you follow as you continue to build your reputation as a trusted authority.

It matters.

Rather than following the same ol ‘hack this’ and ‘hack that’ visibility tactics - focus on the insights, hindsight and foresight that only YOU can bring to the conversation through your years of experience and knowledge.

Because it’s the wisdom and knowledge YOU bring through longevity in your industry that matters! Showcase THAT as you build your thought leadership collateral.

Another way to do that is to:

Innovate – even 1% difference can make the difference

So here are some tips to help you come up with content ideas. Specifically the type of content people WANT to read and will help you stand out, be heard and influence your ideal client?

An interesting poll that Linkedin’s ran a while ago may just be helpful. In fact, ‘Fresh Ideas and Inspiration’ topped the poll at 60%, followed by ‘New Industry Insights’ in second place at 29%.

Here’s what I would add – especially important if you’re looking to add value to the conversation WHILE build your reputation as a trusted authority - that trusted voice in your industry.

Be mindful your ‘Fresh Ideas and Inspiration’ are specific and relevant to your industry. Because while those inspirational ‘popularity posts’ may generate higher levels of engagement, you’ll want to spend the majority of your time creating posts that challenges the status quo, inspires new ways of thinking to your industry, while showcasing your thought leadership.

So, specificity and relevancy are key.

Here are 3 ideas to get your creative content juices flowing when it comes to innovating – even at 1%:

Look at what other people in your industry are talking about AND go deeper. Much deeper.
Pinpoint the areas no-one’s talking about. Find evidence that validate its importance and relevance, and continue to bring fresh and innovative insights into this area.
Research other industries and pinpoint overlapping similarities/challenges/solutions to build a solid business case for why change is needed and why outdated principles/approaches are no longer valid.

[Ep#372] BEtheDifference Summit – Join us!

Thu, 28 Jul 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Welcome to another episode - which is slightly different today. In this episode I’d like to invite you to join me on our upcoming summit.

With everything going on in the world today, along with the doom, gloom and fearmongering plastered across most MSM platforms, now more than ever does the world need to hear about the real hope, the truth and the promises we know are ours, through Jesus our Lord.

And, as Jesus’ ambassadors, we can share this message of hope where-ever the Lord has placed us.

For some of you, while you know you have a message inside you - you’re struggling to clarify what that message is. You’re stuck!

For others, while you’re clear on your message, when it comes to sharing your message in a much bigger way – there's something that’s been holding you back.

Because, when we stand up and speak out, we attract attention: the good, the bad, and the ugly, and no-one likes to come under fire. Especially by the haters and scoffers.

Along with that, we know we have an enemy who wants nothing more than to distract and discourage us from our Kingdom purpose and calling.

But here’s the thing.

By NOT sharing your message in a bigger way, and by continuing to play small and remain under the radar so as not to attract their attention, IS letting them.

And, it’s also keeping YOUR ideal client - THE person you are called to support - STUCK.

My dear friend, there will always be people who criticise, who won’t agree with you, who are envious of what you are achieving - it’s something you just can’t control. But, what you CAN control is the impact their negativity is having on you.

Surround yourself with people who are here to make a REAL change in the world and together you will rise with renewed faith and courage. Because this IS your calling, your purpose, your mission, and now more than ever do people need to hear your message of hope! It’s time!

WHEN: August 11, 2022 (August 10, 2022 USA)

TIME: 8.00am-3.45pm AEST (6.00pm-1.45am EST)

23. Bring in validating third party statistics

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 20:00:00 -0000

As I mentioned yesterday in Tip#22, as someone who is looking to build your thought leadership - be mindful of the tactics you follow as you continue to build your reputation as a trusted authority.

It matters.

Rather than following the same ol ‘hack this’ and ‘hack that’ visibility tactics - focus on the insights, hindsight, and foresight that only YOU can bring to the conversation through your years of experience and knowledge. Because it’s the wisdom and knowledge YOU bring through longevity in your industry that matters! Showcase THAT as you build your thought leadership collateral.

Another way to do that is to:

Bring in validating third party statistics.

Why? Because relevant third-party statistics validate where you’re saying AND can add even more urgency and/or importance to what you’re saying.

For instance, one of the sources I love to reference is Edelman Trust Barometer. Edeleman is a highly trusted authority in the area of Trust and what builds trust, with the information they gather in their annual trust surveys, giving us a clear appreciation of what’s important when it comes to building trust. I’ve often used Edelman’s findings in my content. Recently, Edelman partnered with Linkedin to conduct a B2B Thought Leadership Survey and the study came up with some amazing statistics which validated the importance and urgency to the things I’ve been saying around the importance of building thought leadership.

According to Edelman and Linkedin ‘2019 B2B Thought Leadership Impact Study’:

87% of decision makers said that building Thought Leadership builds trust;

89% of decision makers said that building Thought Leadership enhances your reputation;

58% of decision makers said they would choose a business because of their Thought Leadership;

61% of decision makers said they were willing to pay premium prices to work with a brand that articulated a clear vision through their Thought Leadership.

These findings validate the importance of building your thought leadership and becoming a trusted authority in your industry.

Now it’s your turn.

What organisations are conducting studies that are relevant to your industry that can validate the importance and/or urgency of what you are saying and teaching?

Go ahead and begin journaling these ideas into your Take Action Guide, and start to look out for additional organisations. Perhaps even commit to spending once a month in online research as to the more recent articles and findings being shared. Because this will continue to validate the importance and/or urgency of what you are teaching.

I can’t wait to hear what you come up with.

If you haven’t downloaded the Take Action Guide, you can access it over at: www.IndustryThoughtLeaderAcademy.com/Distinction

You’ll also be able to catch up on the other tips so you can become distinguishable, uncopyable and irresistible, and THE choice vs just A choice for your ideal client and can continue to be the difference and bring real change in your sphere of influence with your message and expertise.

22. Teach elements of your methodologies

Sun, 17 Jul 2022 20:00:00 -0000

As I mentioned yesterday in Tip#21, as someone who is looking to build your thought leadership - be mindful of the tactics you follow as you continue to build your reputation as a trusted authority.

It matters.

Showcase THAT as you build your thought leadership collateral.

Another way to do that is to:

Teach elements of your methodologies

The steps you have come up with and now take your clients through to get them from where they are stuck to where they are achieving their goals? Take elements of your methodologies –and teach them.

If you’re following me on Linkedin, check out some of my featured posts where you will see documents and infographics where I teach elements of my methodologies. From the tactic I accidently stumbled across and now teach all of my clients on how they need to set up their podcast so they can begin to nurture listeners into leads, enquiries and ultimately paying clients from their very first episode.

My tips on how to create a unique and uncopyable podcast Listener Experience to build an engaged audience and how to check you have everything in the place to do that – right through to Podcasting Principles and Personal Branding Principles for Coaches and Consultants. I’ve also shared this information on my podcasts and in articles. I’m proactively teaching elements of my methodologies as part of my content strategy.

Now it’s your turn.

What are some of your methodologies – the steps you take clients through and can you teach aspects of those methodologies to validate your knowledge and thought leadership and bring value to your ideal clients?

This is something you should be doing as part of your content strategy.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

21. Do the Opposite

Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:00:00 -0000

As I mentioned yesterday in Tip#20, as someone who is looking to build your thought leadership - be mindful of the tactics you follow as you continue to build your reputation as a trusted authority.

It matters.

Because it’s the wisdom and knowledge YOU bring through longevity in your industry that matters!

Showcase THAT as you build your thought leadership collateral.

Another way to do that is to:

Do the opposite.

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “When everyone zigs – zag.” As a Change Maker, you probably already know that you don’t follow trends – you lead trends. Or, you look out for certain patterns in order to identify unique and different ways of doing things.

Because being “one of the pack” – just isn’t your style.

So, when it comes to your industry – what moves have you made that were different from what everyone else has done, and how has it improved your results and now of course the results of your clients?

Or, what CAN you do in order to zig when everyone else is zagging?

The other day I made a comment about a specific platform and how I had decided NOT to incorporate that platform into my strategy. Someone responded, “All of your competitors are on that platform – so you should be too?” To which I responded, that’s one of the reasons why I don’t and I won’t. I know who my ideal client is and she is probably not hanging out on that platform, because she’s on a mission to change the world, and that particular platform is a distraction.

Another example of zigging when everyone else is zagging came about when one of my colleagues who is a printer mentioned how printed marketing and relationship-building collateral is not as prolific as it was years ago. Everyone is online.

So, imagine if you incorporated a strategy that did involve something unique and uncopyable that was sent to someone’s physical mailing address. That would certainly stand out considering printed matter has dropped off substantially. It would certainly stand out and is just another example of how to do the opposite of what everyone else in your industry is doing.

Now it’s your turn.

What have you done that was the opposite of what everyone else in your industry was doing? Or, what can you do in order to bring positive change and quicker results for your clients that’s opposite to what other people are doing in your industry?

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

20. Challenge The Status Quo

Sun, 03 Jul 2022 20:00:00 -0000

As I mentioned yesterday in Tip#19, as someone who is looking to build your thought leadership - be mindful of the tactics you follow as you continue to build your reputation as a trusted authority.

It matters.

Rather than following the same old ‘hack this’ and ‘hack that’ visibility tactics - focus on the insights, hindsight, and foresight that only YOU can bring to the conversation through your years of experience and knowledge. Because it’s the wisdom and knowledge YOU bring through longevity in your industry that matters!

Showcase THAT as you build your thought leadership collateral.

Another way to do that is to:

Challenge the status quo

Status quo really just means the current state of affairs. How many businesses or even industries are happy doing what they’ve been doing for many years. That old saying ‘If it’s not broke – then why fix it.’

However, something may not be broken, however, could certainly do with a tweak or improvement. Perhaps you’ve been able to come up with a new approach that is challenging the status quo of your industry – share it with your ideal clients and tell them why this new (or changed) approach is so important.

For instance, for me, an example of challenging the status quo – when I was in the career industry – quite a number of my colleagues and the industry in fact here in Australia were saying how important it was to have face-to-face meetings with clients. You couldn’t have coaching sessions over the phone or via email? [Skype wasn’t even invented back then]

However, I couldn’t see why that wasn’t possible. I had colleagues in the US who were. So, I hired a coach in the USA and the rest is history as they say. I began working with clients not only across Australia via phone and email, but also across the USA and other countries too. I started using audio recordings as part of my work with clients in 2005 and eventually began my first co-hosted podcast in 2008 – when people for years would say ‘what’s a podcast?” “Why bother – no one really listens to podcasts?”

I wonder what they’d say now.

Now it’s your turn.

What status quo have you challenged when it comes to your industry? Or, what status quo could you challenge when it comes to your industry?

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

[Ep#371] Finding Your Voice, Telling Your Story, and Helping Other Tell Theirs

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 00:01:00 -0000

My guest today says: “If we confine the question “What would Jesus do?” only to the slightly uncomfortable or mildly inconvenient questions of our own lives, we are missing the point entirely.”

Joining me today's show is Tiffany Yecke Brooks.

19. Expose the elephant in the room

Sun, 26 Jun 2022 20:00:00 -0000

As I mentioned yesterday in Tip#18, as someone who is looking to build your thought leadership - be mindful of the tactics you follow as you continue to build your reputation as a trusted authority.

It matters.

Another way to do that is to:

Expose the elephant in the room.

What is a mistruth or a mistake that your ideal client is not aware of and perhaps is something other providers in your industry are still teaching? Address it and share what your ideal clients should be doing instead.

One of the elephants in the room for me when it comes to helping businesses start their podcast – is the fixation on the number of downloads their podcast is getting. I’m sure you’ve heard the term Vanity Numbers – where people get caught up in the number of likes and shares and comments, and when it comes to podcasting the number of downloads. So, instead of focusing on Vanity Numbers – I encourage people to focus on and build Reputation Equity – because Reputation Equity is bankable, whereas Vanity numbers are not.

What do I mean when I say Reputation Equity is bankable – well this entire 30DaysToDistinction Challenge covers important insights and tips on how to build your reputation as that trusted authority. And, when you’ve got a reputation for bringing valuable insights and a reputation of delivering results – people hire you.

It was building Reputation Equity with my podcast – Ambitious Entrepreneur Show that saw several people message me and ask if I would consider selling my podcast after I announced I was stopping production. That’s the Reputation I had built over the years for that podcast and compelled people to reach out and enquire. If it hadn’t built its reputation – I'm sure no one would have been interested. That’s the value of building Reputation Equity rather than focusing on Vanity Numbers – which is an elephant in the room that I address.

Now it’s your turn.

What elephants in the room can you address when it comes to your industry?

Sun, 19 Jun 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Firstly, as someone who is looking to build your thought leadership - be mindful of the tactics you follow as you continue to build your reputation as a trusted authority.

It matters.

Because it’s the wisdom and knowledge YOU bring through longevity in your industry that matters!

Showcase THAT as you build your thought leadership collateral.

One way to do that is to Address the BS in your industry.

To get your creative juices flowing:

What’s no longer true, or completely irrelevant for your ideal client, yet other providers in your industry are saying how important it is?

Yet, you know it’s only going to confuse and keep people stuck if they follow that ill advice? Address it and share what they should be doing instead.

17. Your Promise of Value and Promise of Expectation

Sun, 12 Jun 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Today’s tip I want to speak to you about Your Promise of Value and your Promise of Expectation, which are two things you want to continue to express in your marketing and your message as it plays an integral role in helping you continue to build that irresistible factor with your ideal client.

And, if you get your Umbrella Statement right (which we spoke about in Tip # 15) your Umbrella Statement when crafted in the best possible way – showcases both your Promise of Value and Promise of Expectation.

Your Promise of Value is exactly that – the value you offer in terms of your expertise, the knowledge you share, and how it can help a client with their current challenge and in particular your knowledge and expertise can help them overcome their current challenge.

And, your Promise of Expectation is future pacing what is possible for them should they invest in themselves and say Yes to working with you. So, it’s the outcomes and what they can expect to achieve through working with you.

One of the techniques my clients will often hear me say is: always be seeding and leading.

Seeding and leading involve strategically sharing WHAT is possible and HOW this is possible.

For instance, one way to do this is by introducing an example of how one of your clients after implementing an insight you’ve just shared – how they were able to generate a result. The result your client achieved is a Promise of Expectation as to what is possible for them if they work with you.

You are validating the value they’ll achieve through working with you.

16. Authenticity is NOT a buzzword

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Ever heard the saying ‘Marketers ruin everything?" EVERY Tom, Dick, and Harry (sorry to all of the Tom, Dick, and Harry’s out there – no offense to you) however just making my point that every sadly unscrupulous marketer under the sun – jumps on the bandwagon overusing something so much – that it can become tarnished.

An example where that happened recently was a technology platform I invested in, it was still in Beta with a promise to be an incredible solution. However, unbeknownst to the developers, there were a handful of people who had been using the email system to send out so many unsolicited emails the developers had to shut the entire email system down for months and months while they sorted out the issue of being black listed. It was terrible and a great example of how marketers – especially the unscrupulous marketers ruin everything.

Another example is when certain words and phrases are used. Personally, I despise the word ‘hack’ and ‘Hack this and hack that’ I would hear that word over and over on my podcast – years ago to the point I’d cringe every time I heard it.

Now one word that has been used and (in some instances) overused and abused is the word ‘authenticity,’ marketers talk about authenticity when they were anything but authentic in their approach and with their marketing.

For me the word ‘authentic’ is integral. My leading Brand Archetype is Explorer and the Explorer is all about pioneering the discovery of our truth. So, words such as unique, individual, and authentic are words that express what I stand for, and what I help people with – helping them identify what’s unique and authentic for them and helping them bring that out into their marketing and content.

So, for me Authenticity when it comes to your personal Brand (and my background in personal branding) is integral. This is why one of my core personal branding principles is Authenticity is NOT a buzzword – it's paramount.

Because the opposite of authenticity is fake, which is why I cringe when I hear other marketers tell their clients – just make up a story. Just fake it. Yuk! You’re a change-maker and change-makers don’t fake things, they don’t lie. Instead, being authentic means being genuine and being REAL. The real deal!

So, over to you. What do authenticity and being authentic mean to you and what aspects of being authentic will you continue to bring forward in your message?

15. Struggling to define your ONE thing? Do this

Sun, 29 May 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Here’s another shout-out to all of the multi-passionate #entrepreneurs who struggle with defining their ONE THING.

Because limiting yourself to just ONE THING seems totally foreign to you.

And, life is too short to just focus on ONE THING.

You’ve got diverse interests, you love learning, and having to choose just ONE THING gives you heart palpitations.

I get it!

Guess what?!

You DON'T have to limit yourself to just ONE THING.

However, you DO have to change the way you speak about what you do.

Think of the ONE outcome you can help your client achieve through leveraging your unique blend of knowledge and experience you have to offer.

Then create an outcome-focused statement you know your ideal client will notice.

☂️ I call that: Your Umbrella Statement.

Here’s an example:

When I worked in the career industry my statement was: Get Noticed, Hired & Paid What You’re Worth.

It's what my clients needed help with.

I offered resume development, interview coaching, job search coaching etc, which sat under that statement.

Now with #businesses I help them: Build their Reach, Reputation (as a trusted authority) and their Revenue, with my expertise in #PersonalBranding, Business and #Podcast strategy.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

14. Why trying to be all things to all people never works

Sun, 22 May 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Want to build your reach while becoming known as a trusted authority in your field? So that when your ideal client is looking for support you are THE choice vs just a choice for them?

Then when it comes to your message and what you offer – don't try to be all things to all people.

Because the broader your message is, the longer it’ll take to build your reach OR be seen as a trusted authority. If ever.

Because your message will get lost in the noise.

As I mentioned in Tip #12 to be irresistible you need to speak to an audience of one.

When you do focus on that audience of ONE, each piece of content you share will speak into the challenges he/she faces, along with the desired outcomes he/she longs, as well as invaluable insights on HOW they can begin to achieve that.

And, because you’re consistently sharing that consistent message across multiple platforms it won’t be long before your ideal client will instantly think of you when someone asks them “Who do you know that does [fill in the gap].” They’ll recommend you.

And, when they’re ready to make an investment – they'll hire you.

Because YOU are the person they instantly think of and couldn’t imagine working with anyone else.

For today’s Action – have a look over the pieces of content you’ve been sharing over the last few months? Is there a consistent message and theme coming across in your content? Or do you need to refine it?

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

13. Less is more

Sun, 15 May 2022 20:00:00 -0000

You know how some marketers will often tell us we need to share more content, across more platforms, with more frequency so our message can cut through the noise?

That’s NOT really sound advice for Thought Leaders.

Especially, if you want to build your reputation as a Trusted Authority in your industry.

In fact, the opposite is true.

LESS is more.

Here’s what I mean.

It’s about quality NOT quantity.

It’s about focus NOT frequency.

It’s about innovation NOT irrelevant (outdated) principles that every second person is speaking about in your industry.

So the next time you sit down to create content, remind yourself:

Quality. Focus. Innovation.

Bring THAT to your content and conversations and it won’t be long before your message not only cut’s through the noise but begins to influence and impact others, too.

We’re told 'you need more content, more frequently, and across more platforms to stand out. If you're building your reputation as a trusted authority, I suggest ‘LESS IS MORE.’

Here’s what I mean…

⚠ NOT more content, but the RIGHT content

Content that:

➞ Is relevant AND nurtures your ideal client along the Buyer’s Journey as you build know, like, and trust;

➞ Challenges the status quo in your industry, bringing unique insights that only you can share based on your expertise;

➞ Compels him/her to take that next step when you invite them to do so.

⚠ NOT more frequently, but the RIGHT frequency, RIGHT format, approach

Are they busy? Provide bite-sized content.

Do they prefer listening? Create a podcast.

Prefer reading? Then, write.

Or better yet, offer your content in a variety of formats and at varying lengths so your content can be enjoyed by your ideal client no matter their situation or preference.

⚠ Not more platforms, but the RIGHT platform

Don’t be tempted to follow those ’platform-hacking-bro-marketing’ tactics.

YOU don’t need to hack anything.

Your work, and the impact you’ve been making for decades - speaks for itself.

You just need to find the RIGHT platforms and focus your efforts there!

Do you need to focus and double down on ONE platform – rather than stretching yourself too thin.

Do you need to refine your message so clear themes and topics come through that are aligned with what your ideal client is looking for?

Is there a language you're using more jargon and related to your industry –rather than the words and phrases your ideal client is using?

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

12. Being Irresistible – speak to an audience of ONE

Sun, 08 May 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Want to build your reach while becoming known as a trusted authority in your field?

Don’t try to be all things to all people – especially with the message you share.

The broader your message is, the longer it’ll take to build your reach OR be seen as a trusted authority. If ever.

Because your message will get lost in the noise.

Instead, hone your message to a specific niched audience.

And, speak to that niche. Speak to your audience of one.

When you do and you speak into the challenges, he/she faces, along with the desired outcomes he/she longs for, as well as invaluable insights on HOW they can begin to achieve that, it won’t be long before that audience of one becomes two, becomes four, eight, and so on.

Because you become a go-to resource and can continue to nurture your community into leads and inquiries and eventually customers.

But it starts with ONE, clear and highly-niched message that speaks to an audience of ONE.

Get clear on that first!

In the next few tips, I’ll be sharing more about how you can take that message, which you’re going to be using to speak to your audience of one – to the next level with various angles and topics you won’t want to miss.

11. Being Irresistible – what is it and is not

Sun, 01 May 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Being irresistible as you would probably know means to be so compelling that you are hard to resist.

An online definition of irresistible said: too powerful or convincing to be resisted.

However, in the context of becoming irresistible to your ideal client – it's just that. Being irresistible to YOUR ideal client.

Not trying to be irresistible to everyone and anyone – but rather your ideal client.

Also, when it comes to being irresistible when it comes to business there are some certain areas I’m referring to, which are important you focus on (which I’ll dive deeper into in the upcoming tips) and some things you should avoid.

Let’s look at some of the things you should avoid.

So, often, we assume that to be irresistible we have to become someone or something that is going to stand out and attract our ideal client. And that becoming someone or something means we completely diminish who we are and/or how we come across.

Identify the best part of you and give yourself permission to shine. You don’t need to wear a mask or dull your light because someone else doesn’t like the way you show up.

That means you’re not for them and that’s ok.

You’re here to support a specific client, who will absolutely resonate with who you are and how you should up – that best part of YOU, which you’ve probably started to get clearer on through the last few tips we’ve been working on. The Distinction Triad and your unique Mannerisms and Characteristics.

Another aspect you want to avoid when it comes to being irresistible and what not to do relates to your message and your story. And, I’ve mentioned it before – never, ever, EVER think you need to make up your story because your current story is boring.

Any relationship that’s been based and built on a mistruth – a lie, is NOT the place to start. You just need to dig deeper to find the golden nuggets of what makes you irresistible.

Now that you know what NOT to do, tomorrow we’ll dive a little deeper into what to focus on when putting together an irresistible message for your ideal client.

However your take action step in the meantime, go back over the notes you took in your Take Action Guide about your Markers and Milestones and begin writing a few notes about which ones are most relevant to your ideal client. Jot them down as we’re going to be referring back to them in our upcoming tips over the next few days.

10. Your Uncopyable Story: Markers & Milestones

Thu, 21 Apr 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Following on from yesterday’s tip where I spoke about two elements that are unique and uncopyable about you being a blend of your characteristics and your mannerisms, today I’m sharing another two elements that no one else can copy because they’re unique to you and no-one else.

And, when you weave these elements into your story and your message – no one else can copy it because it’s not their journey NOR has it happened to them.

Today I’m talking about Markers and Milestones.

Markers are significant events in your life, such as challenges and struggles that you have had to face and overcome. Milestones are the successes, the achievements you have secured when facing those challenges.

Now when thinking about Markers and Milestones, Markers must be relevant to your ideal client and something they resonate with, are most likely struggling with themselves and the milestones must also be something your ideal client resonates with, because most likely this is something they’re longing to achieve – however haven’t been able to figure out HOW.

For instance, one of my uncopyable story angles is when I started Women In Leadership Podcast. It was after my worst business failure ever and I started Women In Leadership Podcast to help me deal with my grief and loss. With only 3 episodes being published, I thought if I can generate 2 x 4 figure clients accidentally from a podcast I started to help me deal with my grief and loss – what would be possible if I backtracked the steps my clients took to get them to the point where they had gone from not knowing me at all, googling Brand and Business Consultant, come to my website, listen to the podcasts, search around the site and decide they’d want to work with me.

A book – Industry Thought Leader – how to go from Invisible to Influential (and profitable) with a podcast and my course – Podcasting With Purpose was born and now this is something I teach my clients, coaches and consultants who are looking to leverage a podcast to build their reach, reputation (as a trusted authority) and their revenue from their very first episode.

That’s one of my stories, which is unique and uncopyable – because it’s my journey.

Now it’s time for you to identify some of the Markers and Milestones that’s relevant for you in your Take Action Guide.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

[Ep#367] Your Vision & Mission – The secret ingredient to your business success

Thu, 21 Apr 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Want to know THE secret ingredient to building your coaching and consulting business? I’ll give you a hint as to what it’s not!

It’s not your revenue goal. It’s not the marketing strategies you implement – even if you’re constantly launching and using all of the bright shiny new technologies and tactics. It’s not advertising or media or anything to do with marketing or publicity. It’s not hiring a team. It’s not even the goals and objectives or anything to do with that as a matter of fact.

It’s something that not business coaches or marketing coaches speak about – or they may mention it and have you scribble something down so you think that’s all that’s needed.

However, it’s one of the most important things you’ll ever work on in your business IF you want to ensure you are focusing on the right things, going in the right direction, and THE thing that will pull you back up and get you back into action the right way focusing on the right steps – even after failure.

It’s your Vision and Mission.

On today’s show, Annemarie speaks about how getting clear on her vision and mission was THE secret ingredient to helping her bounce back from her worst business failure ever and keep her focused and on track as she continues to build her coaching and consulting business from strength to strength.

And, so can you with your coaching and consulting business.

09: Being Unique and Uncopyable starts here (Mannerisms and Characteristics)

Sun, 17 Apr 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Yesterday I spoke about what it means to Uncopyable and how when we identify unique elements about who we are – no one can copy you. In today’s tip, I want to speak about two of those and in tomorrow’s tip – I’ll share two more.

Today, I want to talk about your Characteristics (or character traits) and Mannerisms.

Your characteristics are your distinguishing features and qualities.

Your mannerisms – are a group of verbal or other unconscious habitual behaviors that are particular to you.

In fact – your mannerisms can bring out your character.

For instance, a confident person (which could be a character of confidence) can be brought to life by maintaining eye contact when you speak. Walking upright with your head held higher can also exude the character of confidence.

The opposite mannerism that brings out the character of being shy and/or reserved, could be speaking softly, head tilted downward, avoiding eye contact.

Some other character traits could be honest, brave, bold, compassionate, lead, courageous, loyal.

So, today, take some time to reflect on some of your unique characteristics and mannerisms and write them down in your Take Action Guide.

And, then come back for tomorrow’s tip where I’ll be sharing two more unique and uncopyable elements that make you YOU and that no-one else can copy.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

08: Being Uncopyable – what it is and is NOT

Sun, 10 Apr 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Today I want to speak about what I mean when I speak about being Uncopyable, and what it is NOT.

To me and what I’m supporting my clients in identifying are all of the unique and uncopyable elements about who they are, along with their journey and experience that no-one else can copy.

It’s uncopyable because it isn’t their history, their story, their journey. It’s YOUR’s and your’s alone.

Recently, I heard a business owner share that she attended a training and the facilitator told attendees – if you don’t have an interesting story – just make one up.

I don’t know about your definition of ‘make something up.’ However, making something up – faking it till you make it – is a deception, a lie.

And, as the Change Maker I know you are – you don’t need to fake it till you make it, nor do you make something up.

You just need to dig deeper to identify the unique and uncopyable aspects of you. And, that’s exactly what we’ll be covering tomorrow – and in this entire 30DaysToDistinction Challenge. It’s ALL important.

So, today’s tip – you don’t need to fake anything, nor do you need to ‘make something up.’ You just need to dig deeper and uncover the unique and uncopyable aspects that make you – YOU.

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

07: The importance of defining your ONE thing

Sun, 03 Apr 2022 20:00:00 -0000

Are you a multi-passionate person, who loves to learn, you have many interests, and you struggle to define who you are and how you can support people in one succinct statement?

Yeah – me too. I struggled with that for YEARS.

In fact, if you’ve followed me for a minute – you'd have heard me share before how as multi - passionate individuals who LOVE learning, we need to be mindful NOT to let our diverse interests - water down our message.

Because focusing on too many things – without a clear and compelling outcome (which speaks to the outcome our ideal client seeks) will mean our message gets lost in the noise. One of the ways I watered down my message years ago was when I started speaking about social media to business groups.

They’d heard about the success my co - host and I were having with leveraging social media to promote our podcast, so wanted me to share all of our secrets. I was happy too. However, what invertedly happened was that my core message of Personal Branding was watered down, as I spoke more about social media.

Until one of my close colleagues hired a personal brand strategist, after completely forgetting that I could have helped her.

That was a HUGE wake-up call for me. And, led me to become far more mindful of and strategic about what I spoke about and how I positioned my message.

I wonder – when it comes to YOUR message... are you building your reputation as a go-to authority in your area of expertise? Or like me all those years ago, you’re watering down your message because of the vast topics you speak about?

In today’s tip, I want you to check back over the last 10 pieces of content you shared across your social media platforms, your blog, your podcast and ask yourself – are these aligned to a clear and concise message that positions me as distinguishable, uncopyable and irresistible in a clear area of expertise so I’m building my reputation as a trusted authority in a key area? Or not? If not, you need to make a decision as to how you’re going to refine your ONE thing, which you want to become known for.

What is it that the combination of your experience, knowledge, and certifications will enable you to support YOUR ideal client to achieve their goals/outcomes? For me, it was helping clients stand out, be heard, and become influential voices in their industry. The trusted authority. THE choice vs just a choice for their ideal client.

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

06: The Distinction Triad

Sun, 27 Mar 2022 19:00:00 -0000

In yesterday’s tip I shared what it means to be distinguishable and that it was NOT tooting your own trumpet and saying how wonderful you are and better than everyone and anyone else in your industry. But rather it’s about highlight areas that speaks directly to your ideal client and positions you being better-placed to serve and support them in achieving their goals and desired outcomes.

And the areas that can help you do that is in today’s tip – The Distinction Triad.

I can up with the Distinction Triad after working with a client and helped her put together her personal marketing document – her resume. She started her career working as an Office Admin and over the years had become a Change Management Consultant overseeing multimillion dollar IT change projects for semi-government organisations.

She had gone from strength to strength and as I wrote her achievement statements and reviewed her career I identified three distinct areas that she had continuously brought to the workplace that had seen her go from strength to strength and it’s something we can all use, whether we’re an executive working in corporate – or an entrepreneur working in our own business.

The three things are Aptitude, Attitude and Approach.

I'll talk about Aptitude a little further today, however, make sure you download the Declaration and Take Action Guide at www.IndustryThoughtLeaderAcademy.com/Distinction so you can begin to work on all three.

Let’s talk about Aptitude. Your Aptitude is your Talent. Your strengths, your skills and your knowledge.

Attitude if your character, mindset, belief and frame of mind.

And, your approach is your Style, your temperament, how you react to specific situations and your sensibility.

Each of these are important and when blended together can be powerful in becoming distinguishable, uncopyable and irresistible.

How clear are you on your Aptitude, your Attitude and Approach? Can you define them? And, are you leveraging them to distinguish how you are better-served to support your ideal client?

YOUR NEXT STEP:

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?

Thu, 24 Mar 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Joining me today's show is Rebecca Contreras.

05: Being Distinguishable – what it is and is NOT

Sun, 20 Mar 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Being Distinguishable – what it is and what it is NOT.

Let’s start with what it is NOT.

Being distinguishable is NOT thinking and acting as if you’re all that.

In fact, it has nothing to do with being better or greater than anyone or everyone else. I

Being distinguishable is not about saying how wonderful you are, and big noting yourself, tooting your own horn.

In fact, it has nothing to do with feeding your ego at all.

Being distinguishable is about pointing out key areas that you know is going to stand out from the noise, capture the attention of your ideal client, because it resonates with them.

In fact, I have a saying: Being Distinguishable is NOT you’re better than everyone else, but rather how you’re better placed to support your ideal client.

Being distinguishable is about how you are unique and can demonstrate how your skills, knowledge, experience, achievements etc are distinguishable are set apart from others in your industry and best able to support your ideal client in overcoming the challenges that are keeping them stuck and achieving the outcomes they want to achieve.

It’s not about being better – but being better-placed to support your ideal client and validating that through the content and message you share.

Tomorrow's tip #6 is where I share The Distinction Triad and the areas you can bring into your content and message you share to show your ideal client how you are distinguishable and better-placed to support them.

See you tomorrow.

Are you a coach or consultant who is struggling to stand out online? Do you feel unnoticed, unheard, invisible?
