Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

Today's heart to heart is in true Meg fashion: a hodgepodge of my thoughts and feelings from the past week.    I touch on how hard it has been for me to let go of control, especially when it comes to the creative aspects of my business, and how working with a marketing agency is forcing me to do so.   I also dive into my recently slight obsession with scrolling on social media and re-checking my m...

Last week I polled my Instagram and asked, "are you in a season of change in your business?" and 96% said either "changing SO much" or "changing a little."   I'm honestly not surprised with those results, because this time of year (halfway through) is when a lot of people evaluate the first 6 months and see if they're on track to reach their 2023 goals or even see if those goals are in alignment a...

I believe in SEASONS when it comes to your business. In real life? Honestly, I could forgo winter now that I'm moving back to New York full time, but #Idigress   Seasons of rest Seasons of "hustle" (or replace with a word that represents you being focused and busier than usual) Seasons of the need for coaching, mentorship, masterminds Seasons of learning (investing in courses, VIP days, plans of a...

It's one thing to prep your clients, audience, and team for a planned vacation.  It's another when life completely comes at you and you're FORCED to take time off.   Well that's exactly what happened to me at the end of May when my father passed.  Within 24 hours I made the decision to take a month off of serving clients, posting on social and my podcast/email list.    So how did I quickly tell my...

After my father passed, I honestly forgot I was pregnant. (Obviously not for long, but it was just so clouded by immense grief).   Then my husband and I went to our first sonogram (10 days after he passed) and found out…   WE'RE HAVING TWINS.   Talk about a P-I-V-O-T.   Our life got completely turned upside down for the second time in one month, but this time in the most beautiful way possible.   ...

When it comes to selling your offers consistently on social media, there is NOTHING more important than having the right messaging.   You could have the best launch strategy, vehicle, funnel, etc in the world, but if the messaging that is INSIDE of it isn't ACTIVATING your ideal client, it's not going to result in what you're wanting = more sales.   It's like having the crust of a pie without the...

If you haven't been in my world over the last month, you might not know that my father, John Yelaney, passed away unexpectedly on May 26th.  My entire world was flipped upside down when this happened and I made the decision to take off work for four weeks; both client facing work as well as emails, podcasting and social content.   This episode is a very honest and possibly at points TMI episode of...

This heart to heart truly is a dear diary catch up with you while I'm visiting family in NY.   We kick off with a little life update and then quickly dive into a few topics that have been present for me and clients lately:   How to handle client payment defaults and DO people buy during the summer?   Short, sweet and power packed.    Enjoy

You're in for a TREAT my #prettyawkward friend, because today's interview is a no holding back truth bomb typa episode.   Taylor Slango is an INCREDIBLE business and embodiment coach for spiritual entrepreneurs and someone I've "grown up with" in this coaching industry.    In my opinion she's one of the GOAT'S and has stayed the course of all the changes, ups & downs, and MAJOR life shifts she's e...

In this heart to heart I'm sharing what was happening BTS in my latest launch that I didn't share publicly with social media.   Life was LIFE-ING, lemme tell ya, and in this episode I share what was going on, but more importantly how I managed to handle it and still show up for the launch.    Unfortunately life doesn't decide to "take it easy" during launches (that would be AMAZING, right?!) and j...

We are pulling back the curtains in a BIG WAY my friend and taking you step by step through my latest launch.   I'm sharing…   What went REALLY well (and some new things we tried) What mistakes we made (to change for next time) And what was out of our control   This is probably the launch I'm most proud of to date, even though it's not the highest cash launch I've ever had.   We (my team and I) sh...

This past weekend my husband and I had one of the best weekends of our lives and definitely one of the top 3 experiences in our marriage (probably our wedding day being #1). We attended a couples retreat hosted by our fabulous relationship coaches James and Angela, the founders of Love Intentionally.  This episode is a breakdown of the retreat, why we went, what we did and what we got out of it. T...

What do you think of when you hear the word "confidence."   If you're like 99% of the world you probably first think "chest up and out, maybe a little louder or that quiet confidence people can have, and definitely sure of themselves."   But I have a feeling today's conversation with Jordan Gomez is going to flip that on it's head for you.   Jordan aka "J.Go" is a Life Coach, Speaker, and the host...

In today's episode I'm peeling back the curtain and taking you behind the scenes over the last 5+ years of my business investments.   When did I first invest in my business and what was it? What were my best investments? What were my worst investments? What coaching styles did I love? What did I NOT love?   I'm going to be VERY honest in this episode and shoot it to you straight (as per usual).  ...

Chrysa is an INCREDIBLE career coach helping professionals get career satisfaction, clarity or completely pivot their career.    And #funfact , she originally said "no" to joining SOSA. A few days later she realized this was exactly what she needed.   Now? She's a full time career coach, facilitating packed to the brim in person workshops, and just landed her first $5K deal.    But more than that,...

It's not easy to ask for help, especially when you feel like you're 'starting over.'   But that's exactly what Sami, our SOSA student feature of the day, did when she joined us last year.   Sami pivoted from digital nomad coaching to relationship coaching and was struggling to really find her flow with content and sign clients in this new niche.   She plugged into the SOSA support system, specific...

Meet Angela, a macro nutrition coach and emotional eating specialist.   Angela's journey has not been an easy one to say the least.  She joined Smart Online Success Accelerator shortly after losing her father, and was questioning if she even wanted to continue on with her business.    Everything seemed stacked against her and she was in a really tough spot.    After digging into the curriculum, ge...

They tell their friends and refer you like crazy.   A great offer + great coaching = happy clients = more clients   A few things we dive into in this episode:   Essential structural elements of your offer: A clear and conci...

I almost made the title of this episode: trust, unattachment, energy healing, grounded considering everything going on, TTC, free lesson and more. BUT…. That felt a bit excessive. However, we DO dive into all of these things in today's Heart to Heart. I'm sharing a bit of BTS of what's going on in my life mid launch, what my most recent energy healing session revealed AND…I'm giving you a free gif...

Today's episode is inspired by a few conversations I've been having with members of my community; people who have been burned by bad investments and are timid to invest again.   In this episode I share one of the worst investments I ever made, how it affected me not only financially but also mentally and emotionally.   But I (most importantly) share...   How I bounced back AND… What I looked for i...

Today's episode was inspired from a bonus zoom training I did with the people on my SOSA 2.0 Waitlist. They asked such great questions and a recurring one was..   "When is it time to launch a group program?"   A lot of them were coming up against consistent price objections or working with a clientele that truly would do better in a group atmosphere because of the nature of the coaching.   And eve...
