Today we are going to be talking about how to get more business from the clients that you already have. I think this is something that a lot of business owners don't do or even want to think about. The thing is, is if you are not actively asking your current clients, your past clients for referrals, you were really leaving money on the table, right? Because a lot of times if you set up some sort of referral program, even if that's just like, oh, for every referral that I get, I'll pay you $100, right?

Today we’re going to be talking about onboarding team members today. We’re hitting everything: hiring and finding the right candidates, interviewing them, training and then onboarding them. Yup, all of that and more. We’re really digging into it today, but if you’re interested in learning about it even more, we dig even deeper in my course, Scale Your Service System. If you’re a service-based business owner who is trying to scale your business to your first six figure year and beyond, this is definitely for you.

Today I really want to talk about something that we really dive deeply into on my new course, Scale Your Service System, and that is the Eisenhower matrix. It’s something that I think is important and very necessary for everyone to be applying to their lives, to their work, or to everything in general, especially solopreneurs.

The Eisenhower matrix allows us to figure out what is important versus what is not. It helps us distinguish what’s urgent and what’s not. It makes us prioritize our to do list, accordingly. It’s a matrix just like this. To set it up, you’d have your x axis and your y axis, right? And in one quadrant, we have things that are both urgent and important. In another quadrant, we have things that are important but not urgent.

Today I am announcing something really exciting. It’s my new course, Scale Your Service System and I really designed this course to be for the person who is trying to grow their service-based business to six figures and beyond the head.

This course is really all about giving you all the tools that I learned and developed while I was building and scaling my service-based business, my marketing agency AND while I was working full time at my day job. We go into how to plan the vision of growing and scaling your business to make sure that you really create a business that you want and that you find valuable because so many people end up focusing so much on growing their business that once they hit their revenue goal, they’re unhappy. They begin to look around and think, this business isn't lighting me up or giving me what I want from life.

Today we are going to be talking about how to add passive income into your life. And I know this is a super popular and hot topic that a lot of you have probably been thinking about or wanting to do recently.

First of all, if you should decide or you're going to need to decide: Do I want to add passive income into just my life? Or, do I want to add that passive income as an additional revenue stream into my business? I really suggest you first look for opportunities to add that passive income into your business. Because a lot of times, we have set up systems and processes or we have knowledge and expertise. That's going to make it a lot easier to create a passive income product and add that into your business. And also you have in theory, a pre existing audience or set of potential clients that you can promote or market that passive income product.

I ran my business as a solopreneur for almost five years before making my first hire, and now we have usually about a team of five at any given time. There's no right, there's no wrong, you might have support come in for one off things projects, or you might look for ongoing support. And we're going to talk through how to figure out which of those you need how to know which of those you need. So the first thing that I want to hit on is identifying what you need help with.

Alright guys, today we are going to be talking about copywriting and SEO and I know this is something that intimidates a lot of people right a lot of business owners, a lot of marketers, SEO is kind of this black hole confusing thing that people don't understand. They know maybe you know it's, it means Search Engine Optimization maybe that it says something about how you're being found online and via Google but that's kind of it, and people don't know anything else about it.
