Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

💰Day 3 is all about Appropriately PRICING Your Offer     "How do I price my offer?"    ↑Hands down one of the most debated and stressed over questions out there in the online space.    In today's training I'm helping you pick a starting price for your offer by considering three factors:   1: The industry frames of reference for different offers. There's no rule for how to price, but there are gui...

❤️Day 2 is all about HOW you help your client experience a transformation:  the deliverables and framework of your offer.   This training is MEATY and has three really essential parts. Part 1: Framework Now that you know WHAT that transformation is (from Day 1!), we must map out the specific steps you take them through to get there. How do you take them from their 'before' to their 'after'? What a...

I k...

What else is new, I'm admitting an embarrassing truth on this Heart to Heart episode… There was a point in my business where my motivation to make more $$ was to impress other coaches on Instagram. WOOF.  And hey, you know the old saying "whatever gets ya going?" The thing is…I was already going. I didn't need to 'get going.' But pretty quickly my sole purpose was to beat myself so I could "shine...

To evergreen or not…THAT is the question!   Earlier this year I went 'evergreen' with my group program, and recently turned my new mastermind evergreen (something I've never done before with a high ticket program).   I am LOVING it and in this episode I share WHY I decided to go evergreen with these two programs, what I had to adjust to make it work for the client, and how my SELLING strategies ar...

This heart to heart is truly a stream of consciousness, and me sharing what's truly present for me right now, and I KNOW you'll relate to it. I kick it off talking about how my Instagram grew back in the day and how different it is today. I help you really take a good look at how you're using that app and how much weight you're giving it. Then we veer off and talk a bit about judgments from family...

Have you ever heard of entrepreneur burnout?   It's the reason so many business owners end up quitting their businesses and going back to their nine-to-five jobs. It's the reason so many of us end up feeling chained to our desks, unable to peel ourselves away from our phones long enough to remember that the entire reason we decided to start our own business was to find a way to give ourselves more...

It can be frustrating when you're a coach trying to emphatically explain what your program can do for a potential client, and all you can come up with are vague promises that mean something different to everyone.  "You'll be happier." "You'll have healthier relationships." "You'll have a better relationship with food." All of these things sound great, but there's just one problem: what do they act...

Update: the idea of nonstop hustle is a total scam. We are not machines, friends, and it's time we stop treating ourselves like one! When we're deep in that entrepreneur life, it not only becomes easy to forget to take a break...it becomes easy to forget HOW to take a break. When our business goes everywhere with us, it can be such a slippery slope to losing that healthy separation between life an...

I'm going to keep on riding the heart-to-heart train today, friends. It feels good, it feels right, and I've got some things to get off my chest.  Today's episode is all about following your heart. We've gotten so used to hearing that phrase from life coaches, Disney movies, and all other sources of "inspiration" that it's almost lost all meaning by now. But what does it really look like to follow...

Today's going to be a treat, my #PrettyAwkward fam! I've asked my good friend and incredible quiz creator, Linda Sidhu, to come on the podcast and talk to us about how she got into creating lead magnets in a quiz format.   Quizzes are an incredible tool for building your following. Not only that, but they can help you get a grasp on who that following really is...and what they need most from you!...

Everyone has a quarantine story to tell.   When everything shut down in 2020, we all found ourselves in different circumstances. Some of us had great experiences; others really struggled. For me, it was a definite mix of both. I was separated from my husband, drinking two glasses of wine—okay, fine, THREE glasses of wine—a day to cope, and I didn't even have my sweet puppy to snuggle. That was cap...

It can be #PrettyAwkward when someone rejects your offer... But this doesn't have to be the end! Today I'm going to talk about building an offer suite: what it is, why it matters, and how it can take a client who might have otherwise walked away and turn them into a lifetime client for you. Every customer is on a journey, and most journeys don't only consist of one step. Not only that, but not all...

Turn up your volume and brace yourself, friends—today's episode is going to be different!   I recorded this episode using my phone's voice memo app while I was driving back from San Diego, so the audio quality is a little wonky, not gonna lie. But I promise you, it's 100% worth the listen. I could have waited to record until I got back from my road trip, but why wait when you're in the zone and re...

This week's special guest is a legit POWERHOUSE, and someone I've been working with for about a year and a half. Jasmine Haitalani is a creative director who has an insane amount of talent, passion, and creative genius. She is the owner of Highflier Powerhouse, a company focused on helping you build your personal brand to allow your business to reflect your most genuine self. Today, Jasmine and I...

In today's episode, we're going to go on a little journey together. It's so much easier to focus on the negative over the positive. All the goals we haven't accomplished. All the milestones we haven't hit. All the deadlines we missed. All the great ideas that didn't come to fruition. But it can be a lot harder to focus on what we have done. All the ways we have grown. All the things we did accompl...

In today's episode, I'm going to talk about an amazing conversation I participated in during a virtual mixer event hosted by my good friend, Linda Sidhu. (She'll be on the podcast in the near future, make sure you keep an eye out!) Talking about our experiences as online entrepreneurs can lift us all up, so I'm super thankful I was able to hear from other business owners about what is working for...

Trigger warning: Miscarriage and pregnancy loss are discussed in this episode.   As you can tell by the title, I'm really sharing something personal today. Not only that I had a miscarriage, but how I navigated my business during this time to prioritize my mental and physical health.   Thank you in advance for being such an incredible community that I feel safe enough to share this with. I appreci...

Today I'm talking about something I have been looking forward to for a long time. I really trusted my gut and I launched in a completely different way than I usually do. I technically have had larger profit launches, but I am so excited about the way we launched AND the way I've structured this particular offer. I really do enjoy live launching, but it got to the point where it was just exhausting...

Today's Heart to Heart episode goes deep into something personal to me and I'm excited to share my thoughts. Alcohol has become such a social activity, an escape and so deeply ingrained in our culture, that it's hard to imagine being completely alcohol-free.    I went completely alcohol-free for 4 months this year and it was a really interesting experience. I didn't expect much, because I wasn't d...

I'm so excited to introduce you to Brittany Herzberg, an amazing SEO strategist and copywriter specializing in working with holistic healthcare providers. As a massage therapist, she realized it was her website that was bringing in most of her clients and that this was something other professionals needed an extra hand with. If you've ever wanted to learn more about ranking higher on google this e...

It's time for another heart-to-heart Friday! And this time my husband Mike is joining me to talk about working together with your spouse on a personal growth journey. When you're putting in the work to become a higher level of yourself, most of the time you want to share that growth and new information with your spouse. We've learned from experience that some ways work better than others, so we're...

Doubling your income, you say? Sounds great, until you think about all the time and energy it'll take.  Especially if you're working as a coach, there's only so much of you to go around. And I say that as someone who loves coaching and believes it to be my literal purpose. But when your job is to give of yourself all day, it can take its toll. The amount of empathy, understanding, and guidance it...

Ready for a heavy heart-to-heart this Friday? In the interest of being completely open and vulnerable with you (aka the point of these episodes) I'll start off by admitting that the past week was straight up not a good time for me. It got me thinking about how to keep going (or maybe not) with your business when you're in it.  You know it right? Nothing goes right, everything feels hard, and lest...

YOU are the only you out there - so why try to be someone else? As corny as that saying is, it's just so damn true, and will serve you BIG TIME in business.  In the episode, my guest (who's also a client and dear friend), Nina Hirt, has a lot to share about why it's so important to be your real self in the online business space.  Nina is a six-figure business coach for female entrepreneurs that ar...
