Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

Remember when I said in the last episode how this pregnancy has been smooth sailing? WELL…I spoke too soon.    On Monday, October 2nd I was admitted to the hospital after my cervical sonogram came back worrying the doctors because my cervical length was too short. All in all it was a scary 48 hours but I am back home (obvs since I recorded this episode) and wanted to take this time to share the st...

This is the audio only version of my Free 4-part workshop series, Magnetic Monetization, where I'm teaching you the 4 essential steps all 6-figure coaches are following to book out their roster, make consistent $5K months, and go full-time in their business.   In today's workshop we dove into the topic of Phase 1 of the SOSA 4-Phase Framework: Creating a Scalable Offer.   What We Went Over↓   Nail...

How do I make the jump from $1K-$5K months?   ↑A question I get asked A LOT from newer coaches.   A lot of the time, you'll sign your first few (or even 10-20) clients from referrals and word-of-mouth marketing, which is amazing.   But the hard truth is…eventually your lead pool is gonna dry up.   So how do you start leveraging social media to bring in clients?   By ACTIVATING your audience with m...

This heart to heart starts out with a quick life update: how therapy is going, being 26 weeks pregnant and my excitement for my upcoming baby shower. But then we dive into a realization I had while on my walk with my pup the morning before I recorded this episode: why do we WAIT until we're FORCED to make life altering changes? I am knee deep into my biz revamp to prep for twins and I'm making cha...

Have you ever seen a coach in your Instagram feed who you took a coaching program with have incredible success? Reaching $5K months, booking out their coaching, on their way to a six figure a year business…and you're like wait, we got started at the same time…why am I not there yet?   Nine times out of ten, it's because they've mastered the four steps I'm diving into in this podcast:   They've cre...

In this episode I do my normal life update: pregnancy, biz remodel, and navigating grief. Spoiler Alert: I started therapy!   But the bulk of this episode is inspired by two things:   A conversation I had with a good friend about our success timelines (and what it truly takes that most people don't want to admit) as well as A SOSA student going from wanting to give up on her business to signing th...

This heart to heart is SO timely for not only me but a few of my clients as well who are dealing with A LOT in their business and personal life.  I made a really big decision a little over a week ago to pause my mastermind until after the babies are born, which meant needing to refund some clients who will be halfway through their contract and saying "NO" to BIG money.  But I KNOW it was the right...

Today's interview is jam packed with inspiration if you're in the THICK of it (and quite ready to give up on your business) AND strategy (one that's INSANELY simple to implement, like right away).   Amanda Warfield, our amazing guest, is a simplicity-focused content marketing and launch strategist, author of the book Chasing Simple Marketing, and host of Chasing Simple - a podcast to help creative...

This week's heart to heart involves a few updates: offer revamp timeline and pregnancy (almost at 24 weeks!) as well as a reflection on a POWERFUL quote I read this past week from James Clear. I read the quote right off the bat, but here's a little sneak peek to wet your whistle: "Find the beauty and joy in your daily rituals and you will find beauty and joy in your daily life."  While I'm in a se...

You are in for a TREAT my #PrettyAwkward friend because Allison Walsh is an absolute POWER HOUSE and giving us SO MUCH GOLD in this awkward time interview.   Allison is the founder of Allison Walsh Consulting and creator of the She Believed She Could brand, with almost 100K followers on Instagram and thousands of podcast listeners.   In this episode however we don't talk about all the amazing thin...

When life is changing in SO many different ways, it's easy to feel unsettled, and man can it wreak havoc on your nervous system.   It's really hard to TRUST that everything is going to work out as it should, especially when you're a classic control freak (hi, me!) and everything seems to NOT be going according to plan.    In this episode I reflect back a bit on how different my life is today than...

Is your business an emotional rollercoaster?   Here's the signs of a business that's taking you on a ride you DON'T want to be on:   →When business is GOOD - you're riding a high. Nothing can stop you and you don't need anybody but YOU to make it happen!   → But when you hit a bump in the road (even a small one) your worst fears come crashing in and you feel like everything you've built is going t...

This week as per usual is a collection of my thoughts and feelings from the week.    I felt my babies move for the FIRST TIME, my Dad's would-have-been 74th birthday happened, and I've been getting steady client inquiries (almost one a day).    Even though this is a hodgepodge of thoughts kinda update, I have a feeling it will resonate with you in so many ways.    Love ya, Coach Meg   Biz Resource...

My interview this week is with a MASTER marketer, aka "the marketing genie" Ashleigh Chanel, someone I have admired for quite some time now.   Ashleigh is here as she says to "GET YOU TO THE MONAY" and is such a breath of fresh air.   In this interview we dive into Facebook ads, but NOT in the over complicated "I need to know a ton of tech to understand" way.    We cover: *WHY you should get start...

This past week my husband and I had our 20 week anatomy scan, which means I am halfway through my pregnancy! In this episode I share a recap of the experience, because it was pretty wild and SO incredible.   I also share how I had quite a few unexpected and unplanned sales come through this week with VERY little "promo" (I'm talking one story slide little) and WHY I think that happened.   As usual...

This past week a few of my mastermind and private clients have been implementing my private invite process and it's been working like a charm.   I had one private client fill three of eight spots for her high ticket retreat within 48 hours of utilizing it.    I also had a mastermind client fill three (of ten) spots for a new mini mind she's running.    In this episode I break down the different se...

In this heart to heart I'm sharing an update on my offer revamp timeline so far: what I've gotten done and what lies ahead for the next few weeks.    I'm also sharing this weird sensation I've been feeling the last week or so since being pregnant, and curious if anyone else has felt this as well.    As always, these are my favorite episodes and I appreciate you listening and taking the time to sha...

Anytime I'm in a season of change, I like to reflect, audit and analyze what has gone well in past biz remodels and/or what has gotten me to where I'm at.    Of course to experience different results you sometimes need to execute different strategies and more importantly, THINK differently.   BUT…success also leaves clues and there are a few themes I've noticed in my business growth seasons that I...

I'm POSITIVE you've heard the phrase, "pull back to spring forward", aka the slingshot effect.  If you visualize a slingshot, it makes complete sense.  For the ball/marble/whatever you put inside the slingshot to whip forward and go far…you need to pull it back with enough strength.   That PULLBACK season is what SO many entrepreneurs resist, especially if they've experienced a lot of financial su...

Today's podcast episode is finally revealing the main changes I'm making to my business to accommodate TWO babies coming into my life very soon.    In this episode I break down the three main changes we're making as well as the tentative order in which we're making them.   I've decided to really pull back the curtain as we implement all of this and take you along for the ride; inception style.   I...

I recorded this Heart to Heart for you fresh off of a 2-day in person client retreat, so basically it's inspo on SPEED.   In today's episode we talk about the power of simplifying and making what is already good, even better to increase your profits and see more success in your business.   I also talk about the power of in person, and surrounding yourself with "abundance", whatever that means to y...

Today's awkward time interview is super special, not only because it's a message I think EVERYONE needs to hear right now (during the sometimes slower season in summer), but with someone I've had the pleasure of working closely with over the last seven months.   Shay Gottsacker is a fat loss coach who's been building her brand and business since 2018.  In this episode we talk about the beginning y...

This Heart to Heart was recorded immediately after I got off of an INCREDIBLE interview with Beverly Simpson.  Our conversation inspired me so much that I wanted to share a lot of what we talked about in this episode, as a "light tough love" episode.   Because honestly? I see SO MANY amazing coaches and strategists NOT putting themselves out there fully because of some imaginary or "arbitrary" met...

I've been in the coaching industry for eleven years, so I'm basically a grandma at this point.  I've seen SO many things come and go and I've seen terms used interchangeably, when I really don't think they should be.    The terms "mastermind" and "group program" being two in particular.    In my opinion, I find a group coaching program and a mastermind to be two very different types of offers, hen...
