Why did you decide to join 90 Day Business Launch?
Where do I start? I knew what I wanted my business to be but I had no idea how to set up a website, find clients, adopt a CEO mindset, and make money. I felt like I had SO many things to offer and I couldn't figure out what to offer, how to offer it, and what to do with all my other ideas! In a nutshell, I was overwhelmed, big time. Also, Michelle's energy was just so infectious and I knew I had to work with her! I felt so seen and supported on our consult call that signing up was really a no brainer.
What were you doing work-wise when you started the program in the spring of 2020 - and where are you now, at the end of the year?
Erm.....I was hobbling along, doing some consulting projects and working with a handful of private clients. I knew I wanted a serious business but I wasn't taking my business seriously in terms of setting up a work routine and focusing on one offer. I was stuck in the hamster wheel of busy work (you know, emails, making lists of all the things I should do at some point), but avoiding doing the hard stuff like pitching myself, setting up an email newsletter and reviewing my business goals on a regular basis. I now have a better work routine, have more clarity on what I'm offering, and a regular email newsletter.
We'd love to know both the tangible and intangible results you got from 90 Day Business Launch! Lay it on us:
I tried to put together and launch a website for four years and just couldn't get it done. With Michelle's help, my website was done in a few months and it's something I'm super proud of sharing! I finally feel like I have a strong foundation to build my business on.I'm so much more confident and know that often the hardest part is just showing up. If I can make sure I have support and accountability to keep me on track, I will keep moving in the right direction.
What was your biggest takeaway, lesson, or a-ha moment from the program?
The main highlight for me has been working in a group format. Initially I thought my problems were so unique and complicated that no one could possibly understand (ha ha) and I didn't think I'd get a lot out of a group program. WRONG. Sharing space with other motivated, driven, multi-passionate women was just what I needed. Although we all had different businesses, there was usually at least one other person in the group who had a similar challenge or question as I did and it felt amazing to know I wasn't alone. Someone else got it. I am now forever a huge fan of group programs. And Michelle balanced this so well - all of my questions were always answered and our 1x1 calls were super helpful. All in all, I definitely don't think I'd be where I am today if this hadn't been a group program.
Think of someone who was in your shoes when we first started working together. What advice do you have for her?
If your gut is telling you to go for it, even if it seems like a big investment - DO IT. Listen to that voice. I signed up to this program at the last minute all based on my gut feeling, and I don't regret it for a second. Michelle is hilarious, authentic, and so super smart. She treats your ideas with so much love, respect and care and also gives so many tough love reality checks.
There is so.much.happening in our lives and the world that it seems impossible to think we could launch our dream business in 90 days! How did you make it happen? We'd love your best productivity/mindset/time management tips!
Put all the calls in your calendar and make them non-negotiable. Show up even when you're having a bad hair day, haven't done the exercises and/or feel completely behind or discouraged. JUST SHOW UP!
If someone wants to reach you and your work, where should they go?
