Make a Million in Menopause

Growing an online business takes time. I took the longest time- many years -  to make $500 a month online and then another year to make 5k a month. In this episode, I talk about how slowing down is actually a good thing and how to stop giving yourself a hard time because you're not 'there' yet. Everyone wants the 'formula' for 5k months. Yes, you need to know the steps to take. But without the min...

In this episode I share my number one strategy for making money in my business & it's probably not what you think! I go on a bit of a rant (in a great way) about how to have a profitable business that puts you first. I'm running a free masterclass soon called The 5k Mind. This masterclass will show you what you need to have in place before you hop into the business strategy (but I'll totally give...

Are you working in your 'Zone of Magic?' Once you're there, you can make more impact and income. In this episode I share with you how I get out of confusion into my magic zone. The first step is to check is not to work out your life purpose, but something different (and so much more useful and fun). Take a look at the Zone of Magic Masterclass, it is an incredible process to get you aligned with y...

I've heard many women lately talk about retiring and they don't understand why it's not for me. My friends who are business owners get it. It's great to be able to retire any time they choose. But it's also amazing to choose to do your soul's calling. No matter what age you are. 'I don't want to spend my days going to galleries and knitting' said Marlene, an entrepreneurial colleague & mentor. Rec...

Do you often find that you ask yourself  "what if I fail?"  When coaching clients and digging around to see what's really going on, they often speak about their fears. The words 'what if I fail' come up time and time again. You can have the best strategy in the world, but if your mindset doesn't get on board, you end up going down rabbit holes and running into problems. I am here to tell you why f...

You don't 'get clients' you create them. When someone starts out in business, they search for the right path to clients. But like other paths, the path to creating clients is done by walking the distance over and over again. In this episode you will hear: - What marketing really is and how you can make yours more effective - What to do each week in your business - How to create your own path to cr...

These days there is a lot of talk and much being done for menopause support in the workplace (& about time too). Finally, the incredible talent that women in their 40's, 50's & 60's is beginning to be recognised. But what about women who are running their own business at this age & stage of their lives? They probably don't need so much support with their environment as most entrepreneurs are worki...

Throughout our time running our businesses, confidence drops for short periods. This is normal. When it goes on for a significant period of time, then some extra support may be needed. But having a coach who gets it can be a game-changer. Lots of things help to create confidence in your marketing, such as consistency. Consistency created confidence. Showing up when you'd rather not creates confide...

I've spoken before about plugging your leaking holes in your business (see episode 013) where I spoke about stopping turning up the tap to solve the problem but instead needing to 'plug' your leaks. This is still true in many areas of your business, but I want to share some thoughts I'm having around this. A couple of weeks ago I was being coached around my thought that I was wasting time. I now h...

We are often told the reasons that we're not showing up consistently in our businesses is because we lack discipline, we are self-sabotaging or need to be better at focusing. I don't believe this is usually the problem and can just add to the shame we already feel for not doing business 'properly'. I believe it is because of trauma. We all have some form of trauma and it affects up in different wa...

Before we lurch forwards into the coming year, first we need to reflect on 2021 and all that we are grateful for. This episode doesn't focus on gratitude, however it is mentioned first as it's so important to look at what has happened for us over the past year. What this episode focuses on is the 3 steps that make the framework for your 3 year scale plan. The first step is your 'business model'. T...

In this episode, Sarah speaks about the one thought that is now her guiding light towards 7 figures & what it was when she was on the path to 6 figures. Whether you are currently working 1:1 & thinking about a group program, you feel you're not ready for group, or possibly have a group but would like to fill it with more ideal clients, then this is a 'must-listen' episode. Hear about: 1. When you...

We all know that we have to get out of our comfort zone to be more successful. It's not new. We know that what we want is on the other side of our comfort zone. But we can get stuck as to how to do this. Most women I work with are over 40, maybe stepping into peri-menopause or menopause. They can be totally unaware of why they are not as courageous as in the past. I didn't used to have a problem a...

Are you stuck on a roundabout in your business & not making the decisions you need to make? Whether it's pricing, niching, or what you will include with your program. I share with you how to be in the mindset of a woman who makes decisions and moves forward in her business. Only 10% of women get to 6 figures and less than 2% get to a 7 figure business. Do you know what you want? Are you being too...

Several years ago hit a plateau building my business. Coaches said to me 'Sarah I can't understand why you're not further ahead- you should be a 7-figures by now'. Oh the shame! Of course, others only reflect our own insecurities and thoughts. What was wrong with me? My business was growing each year but only slowly. I had previously tripled my business to get to 6-figures & thought I would contin...

When I created the first online course in my previous business I made ALL of the mistakes.  I thought the platform was everything and I paid a substantial sum of money to have someone build the members site, after months of obsessing about which platform to use. It was so big & complicated, I never used it.  I created a basic password-protected page on my website, after spending weeks trying to fi...

Is 'mindset' everything in business? In this episode I discuss: 1. Your vision and your goals in your business (and why you need them) even when they 'haven't worked' in the past. 2. The best way to create a 6-figure income stream. 3. How to use your mind to get what you want.   Why you need to future focus rather than looking to the past.   How to be in 100% belief that your success is happening,...

Is your next 10K sitting right under your nose? I was writing my shopping list this morning & wrote 'berries' so I would remember to get plenty of fresh berries for my breakfast. When I was walking to the car I looked sideways & thought to myself 'the lovely blackberries are out already, I must tell Mum'. My mother lives in Australia but grew up on this side of the world & still misses the seasona...

I'm recording this episode from the most amazing place. Iceland. I've had SO many breakthroughs. In today's episode I share one of them. I was being like all the others. The gazillion other business coaches out there saying the same things. Work less. Earn more. Get more clients. Get more leads. Blah blah f***ing blah. Then I started speaking more from my heart, not my head. I started speaking abo...

I am always being asked by my clients what way they should work with their clients, and how do they get the 'holy grail' of passive income.  Everyone wants to stop trading hours for dollars, and that's a great intention. If it is giving you the income you want, there is nothing wrong with working with just a few clients; however there is a still a lot of coaching hours in your day with this method...

As a general concept, I agree that you shouldn't trade hours for dollars. Unless of course the dollars you're charging mean you're making the income you would like. But, if you're having to hustle to fill your client slots and you're charging a low hourly fee, that's absolutely a burnout model. I know, because I've been there.  In this episode, I share that less than 10% of women make 6 figures in...
