On Purpose With Alex Beadon

I’m pressing pause on the podcast. This is going to allow me, as a business owner and leader, to take a step back and recalibrate, so that when I come back, I’m showing up at my absolute best. During this pause, there won’t be any new podcast content, but in my time “off”, I will be rethinking the podcast and creating my vision for it. I’ll also be working with my team in the back end of the business to help create organizational efficiency and get everything streamlined so that the business can make even more of an impact. In this week’s episode of On Purpose, I talk with you about: Why I’m pressing pause on the podcast Why I feel like it’s time to take a step back from content creation How to focus your creative energy so that it goes further Why working on the backend of your business is critical to growing as a business owner This is not “goodbye”, this is, “see you later.” In the meantime, stay subscribed to the email list so that you can stay connected.

Due to Alex being sick, today’s solo episode is a replay of one of her favorite past episodes (Episode 037)! Believe it or not, there was a time when I used to feel like the biggest fraud. ​​​​​​​ Today I’m an online business coach, but I first started my career as a photographer. I remember on my first few shoots I would show up full of nerves, wondering if I was worthy of being on the shoot, wondering if I’d know how to pose my client, or how to overcome the awkward silences.  ​​​​​​​ I look back now and know that I was suffering from something called ‘imposter syndrome’. When you’re first getting started with *anything* in life, it can be very common to feel this sense of unease, as though you haven’t fully proven yourself to be worthy of whatever it is that you’re doing. ​​​​​​​ Well today I’ve got some advice on Imposter Syndrome for you, all inspired by pop princess Ariana Grande. In this episode, I chat about: putting yourself out there without shame embracing the new, awkward, clunky phase of your business how to get people's attention before launching a new product how to build upon momentum ​​​​​​​​I hope it inspires you as much as it did me.

Not too long ago, I came down with strong feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. My anxiety was my body's way of telling me that something was going on. I was taking too much on and I needed to slow down. In Episode 89 of On Purpose, I dive into what was causing my anxiety and overwhelm and my biggest takeaways from the whole experience.

I’m so excited to share with you the results of my most recent launch of Project Storyline. While this was the most prepared I have ever been in a launch, there were a lot of surprising twists and turns along the way. Our cost per lead on our Facebook Ads was way higher than expected, however our leads ended up converting better than expected so it evened itself out. Our pop up Facebook group was opened earlier, yet didn’t really have an increase in engagement compared to last time. We reached only 70% of our challenge signups goal, yet hit 90% of our sales goal.

In our 82nd episode, we welcome Jamie Varon, Writer, Designer, and Creative Consultant living in Calabasas, California.

Have you ever second-guessed a post you shared on Instagram? We all want to show up authentically on Instagram, but when does personal become too personal? Today's episode I go in depth about a situation that got me wondering about what “the line” is. People always ask me, “What’s appropriate to share and what’s not?” The answer is, it strongly depends on your brand. In my case, I have a personal brand where I am the name & face of my brand, so it’s important for me to build a real relationship with my followers. I don’t have to share anything about my personal live, but I do because it will bring me closer to my audience.  Remember real relationships don’t come from only showing the “highlight reel”. Real relationships come from shared memories and experiences, vulnerability and TRUST. In this week’s episode I share:   why being with childhood friends reminded me of the shame I felt when graduating high school what it’s really like working while traveling the nitty gritty of what’s going on behind-the-scenes of the business, the new hire we just made (woohoo, welcome to the team Stacy) how I’m prepping for the upcoming launch of Project Storyline! 

Over the past few years, I have shifted my focus from growing my following, to converting my followers into clients. And I’m proud to say we've made more money in the last six months than I ever had in any year of my business beforehand.  I look at people who are just getting started and their obsession with followers. Back then, I wish someone had told me, “You’ve got it all backwards. Let’s shine a light on what you *really* need to be focusing on.” That’s exactly why we recorded this episode. Amanda is such an great person to have this conversation with. She's excellent at lead generation and conversational selling.  She has made $40,000 in the Instagram DM’s alone. She's made half a million dollars with only one landing page.  She made $1 million before they even had 5,000 email subscribers.  I wish that eight years ago I could have listened to this episode because it would've been a GAME CHANGER. It's an inside look into how to hack profitability by knowing how to deliver *exactly* what they need. Because that's what's going to bring you massive profitability.

In this episode I share how to know the difference between the moments you need to hustle and power through any resistance, and the moments you need to step away from your computer and get some fresh air.

THINGS YOU’LL LEARN: My self care practices How to know yourself enough to know what you need The importance of self awareness How to take responsibility for your vibe And how to know when you need to give yourself permission to TAKE A BREAK!

Up until today, the audios you are about to listen to have remained private since their recording last January 2018. What’s extraordinary about this, is that I recorded these two audios BEFORE the Gram Slam launch. I felt compelled to record them because I knew that the energetic process of creating a mindset for success is JUST AS IMPORTANT as the strategy. Due to the practices outlined in this episode #44, I was able to manifest $100,000 in my business. If you want to learn exactly what I did, make sure to listen all the way through.

People are obsessed with New Year's resolutions, but something that matters just as much is Old Year reflections. In other words: looking back at the past year and reflecting on what you experienced in life and business. What went right? What went wrong? What lessons did you learn? How did you grow as an individual? In Episode 43 I take you behind-the-scenes of my own personal 2018 reflections. To me, this episode felt vulnerable to record. I shared things I have *never* shared publicly before. Things that I know people could judge me for. But as we lean into 2019, one thing I’m holding onto from 2018 is how I’ve opened up and shared my truth with you in each and every single one of these episodes. So grab a hot cup of tea, snuggle up, and take a listen to how my year of 2018 went. And when you’re done - do your own reflection of 2018. Look back at old texts, your Instagram feed, old photos in your phone, your notebooks, your Notes app … search all of the places you’ve been digitally present, and see what comes up for you. Reflection on the year past is such a POWERFUL WAY to start off the New Year. So I invite you to jump in. I love you all and deeply appreciate being on this journey together.
