Quantum Revenue Expansion

This week on Quantum Revenue Expansion I'm turning the tables and having my good friend, business owner and podcast host Tena Pettis interview me. We all know her and love her. She's been on this show many times and recently had me on her podcast “Tena Talks”. It was a conversation full of so many great questions about my new book “UpLevel Now”, sales, how to scale both your business and your money, that I wanted to share it with you here on my show. So join me today on the other side of the table and hear my thoughts on sales, business and what it means to UpLevel Now.

For those of you who haven't heard Michael Tritthart’s first interview, we talked a lot about his business, its growth and his life as a coach in many forms. I would invite you to definitely go back and listen to that episode because it is where we really laid the foundation of SEO and Google. Since then a lot of things have been shifting with Google, more specifically “Google My Business” and it is for this reason I asked Michael to come back and answer all of our burning questions surrounding these changes. So if you are ready to uplevel your business with Google while also giving back to the business community in your local area and the places you visit, definitely have your pen and paper out when you join us for today’s episode.

We live in a world that is so connected and yet at the same time one of the most disconnected. So how do we connect with, support and help one another in ways that will ensure a better future? Of course there is always the option of starting a nonprofit space but the work to get the systems and processes up and running to a level where we are making an impact is huge. As you will learn in today’s episode there are other options to be found through connections with non-profits that are already working in the areas you are most passionate about. Join me and my super special returning guest, Steve Miska to talk about the American experience at risk, the role of women, servant leadership and how to run a successful nonprofit. My hope is that today’s episode will inspire you to find new ways to support others today while investing in the future of all of us tomorrow.

I really wanted to do this 2 part series because I believe it's the core of everything that I teach and it's fun to go back to my roots of sales and sales camp. But even more than that, it's a fundamental piece of business. So if you're struggling with selling, or if you're finding that all the negativity floating around in the world right now is pulling you off your game “How to Sell With Confidence” might just be the thing you need to bring your confidence back. In part one, we talked about the first three tips on how to sell with confidence, one, how important it is to believe in your product or service, two how important it is to be prepared, and three, how to arrive to solve their problem or meet their need. Today, we're going to dive into the next four tips that will help you sell with confidence. If you haven't yet, definitely grab your pen, your paper and take some notes. Let’s bridge the gap from where you are to where you want to go and have you walking there in total confidence.

What you don’t see when you look at me today is how much I disliked everything about sales when I first started. Everything about it was painful to me. It felt forced. It felt salesy. It felt like I was calling people who didn't want what I offered. However, it was in those beginning days where I learned what it took to be a good salesperson, how to sell with confidence, and‌ that sales could actually be fun and easy. Today I'm doing part one of a two-part solo series to share the 7 top tips that I learned along the way. Tips that will help increase your confidence in the sales process and have you excited to get out there and sell. So if you are finding sales difficult, and your instinct is to run and hide at the very thought I invite you to join me this week and next with your pen and paper, because I'm sure that what I'm going to share with you today about the sales process are things you're going to want to write down.

Transitioning from highschool to university can be overwhelming, leaving our children lost in the shuffle of big change. As parents, we want what is best for them, but it is not always as black and white as choosing a school based on its name or historical significance. The stats show that 80% of students change their major in the first year of school with another 50% changing it at least one more time beyond that. Therefore, setting realistic expectations for our kids and choosing a career family that they can transition in without losing a year of schooling are the best options when considering a career direction and school. After leaving her position as a full-time teacher, my guest Meredith Bagwill turned her side coaching work of teaching CT LSAT Prep into a full-time business of helping kids get accepted into their dream school. Join us as we discuss what it takes to prepare our kids for moving onto higher education and how we can help to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Welcome back for part two, of “The Seven Saboteurs of Scaling Your Business”. In part one, we talked about the saboteurs of marketing confusion, not tracking what we are doing, and a lack of understanding of our target market. If you missed that, I highly recommend you start there, so this next section makes complete sense. As for today, we are continuing our conversation with the remaining 4 saboteurs in scaling your business; value versus price, asking for the sale confidently, taking personal responsibility and time management. We're here to reignite your passion and invite you to re-engage with the practices you need to have in the business and life that you both want and deserve. Are you ready to catapult your business to the next level?

Super excited to have you back with the very cool, very amazing Rebekah Hall. The last time she was here, we talked about the “7 Secrets to Scaling Your Business” and I received a lot of positive feedback from many of you. For this reason, we decided we'd come back and dig into “The Seven Saboteurs of Scaling Your Business.” As we record this, it’s the end of May 2022 and while we've come out of the pandemic, the world is still different. There is a new normal, inflation is high and people are wondering if we are heading into another recession. But here's what I can tell you… Our clients who are doing the work and staying focused on their business are still having their best months and years ever. They're doubling, tripling, or quadrupling their monthly revenue. You have heard some of them on the podcast, sharing their experiences. We want the same for all of you, our listeners. If you are ready to get focused, put in the time and do the work all to reach your next revenue expansion goal, then this episode is for you. Join us with your pen and paper because you are going to want to take notes on “The Seven Saboteurs of Scaling Your Business” and what you can do to overcome them. As Rebekah likes to say, “There is no magic bullet… only the tried and true” if we are only prepared to put that into action.

Today I'm excited to share my manifesting tips and the steps I follow in order to create the next thing that is my heart's desire; such as my latest book “UpLevel Now” becoming a USA Today, best seller. I think so often we hear statements being made about manifesting, or the laws of attraction, and I feel like there are some pieces that need to be clarified. In today’s episode, I hope I dispel some of those myths and reignite the excitement for you in terms of what you want to create next in both your business and your life.

After almost three years of severe depression my guest Kelsey Aida called out to the universe… “... If I cannot feel better I do not want to be here — Please Help Me!!” After speaking her painful truth out into the universe, of course, the answers came — and help was provided in the necessary support required to lift her out of that hole, and propel her forward into her next stage of life. So much so that Kelsey walked away feeling better than she had even before the depression took hold. Like Kelsey, if you are struggling to work through your own obstacles and need help reframing the resistance you are facing listen in to hear strategies and tips that will help you feel more capable to move forward both in life and business. We can either choose to stay stuck or we can ask ourselves; “what’s next?” and make the move to go through the wall. Are you ready to find your way through?

Today I am talking with Cynthia Sue Larson about high energy money. A state of being that allows more to come into our lives. Early in life we naturally gravitate towards this kind of energy and then somewhere along the journey from childhood to adulthood we create blockages to it. Blockages in the way we feel and think about money. We find ourselves bumping into these beliefs no matter what direction we take. This is where paying close attention will make a huge difference… … what is it that triggers these obstacles in our mind? It is here that we see reality more clearly. That we aren’t what we believe and our positive affirmations get stronger and clearer in our mind. Instead of focusing on problems money may create, we begin to look for the solutions it can create. Join Cynthia and I and together let’s begin the journey of powering our way out of whatever partial blockage is standing in our way and move ourselves into that high energy in all parts of our lives.

People want story; it is the universal piece that connects us all. We want to know where someone comes from, who they came into contact with along the way and what their experience was on their journey. Starting out small with connections made through her kids' auditions, my guest Ali Barr found herself surrounded by stories when she ended up consulting on an array of sets for both TV and movies. Long story short, my guest Ali Barr went from soccer mom to film Producer + Director (i.e. Hollywood), and now offers support to CEOs building their recognition and following through organic growth on Youtube. Are you ready for your next quantum leap? Listen in and find out just how possible it really is!

If what you are trying or doing either in business or your personal life is not energetically in alignment with your core being; or if you carry limiting beliefs about yourself in these areas, it won’t matter what you do it's not going to work out. Limiting beliefs are not something we just see our way around and they only work to hold us back from trying anything new for fear of failure or looking like a fool. What if there was a way we could overcome these limiting belief obstacles and finally find our way to the next level? This is where my guest this week, Lynnsey Robinson comes in. Lynnsey is a Certified Hypnotherapist & Intuitive Guide who works with women to help clear out the mental blocks that are standing in their way. If you are ready to see your way through your limiting beliefs and take yourself to the next quantum revenue expansion then join me and Lynnsey as we talk about all things limiting beliefs, being alignment, letting go and finally reaching that big breakthrough to the next level.

As a society we have not been raised to handle emotions well and unfortunately have been taught to keep them out of the workplace environment entirely. Enter the Enneagram... A system that describes our human personality as several interconnected personality types each with their own set of potential strengths and weaknesses. The goal of this system is to better understand ourselves and our underlying motivations so that we can make the most of our strengths, address our weaknesses and rise to our full potential as leaders and human beings in the world. There's a lot of wisdom and instinctual intelligence inside of each of us and the Enneagram helps us to understand where we start out, and how we can expand into even more. Are you ready to put your skills to work and fix the weaknesses that are holding you back? If so, join me today for this week’s latest episode with my guest and certified coach Sarah Carlsen. Listen to how her use of the Enneagram helped her to better understand herself, and see how much of a difference in both her working and personal life it made.
