    Some Thoughts On Making Lots Of Money

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 19, 2022 35:25


    Would you say you love money?  Or does it make you feel dirty and guilty even to think about loving money?     I LOVE money.  I love the thrill of making money.  I love so much about money and what it can do for me, both in terms of needs and wants.  I love it. I have no guilt about loving money and I want you to love money too.  You will have heard before that money and happiness are not mutually exclusive, and that life is not black and white.  So how did we come to acquire all these weird feelings around money? This week on The Shine Show, I've dug deep into the history of money and explained how the past has created these screwed-up stories about value, greed, and natural riches.  I find it fascinating and painful, all at once.  It's time to change the way we create and distribute wealth in the world.  Time to stop trading a steady paycheck in return for showing up.  It's time to heal our relationship with money. One lipstick at a time.  PS - You can join The Accelerated Launch Bonus Experience by clicking here. $497 gets you everything you need to map out your entire course, build your launch and get it all up in time to launch early in 2023 to a raving crowd who cannot wait to buy from you.

    Why does social media for our business stress us out so much? If you're like me, then you love endlessly scrolling through other people's content, there goes a gazillion hours down the rabbit hole. Yet when it comes to posting our own message on the socials.. we see it oh, so differently. Nothing is quick, nothing is good enough and we often hate it. Am I right?  Social media doesn't need to be like that.  This week on The Shine Show we talk about the one thing that makes it all worthwhile and I can tell you it's definitely not fake eyelashes or number of likes and it's certainly not perfect posts.  When we consider that the purpose of social media is to build our email list (hint hint), and we realize that there are many ways to do this with social media playing a very small role, then we totally remove the pressure. Social media is about connection. Nothing more. And of course, when do we make the best connections? When we're sharing our authentic self. Think of it like dating!  Listen in to hear how to chill and relax your own approach to social media.

    Let's talk about the F word.   Not that F word. I'm talking about Failure.    You've spent months creating an online course. You're finally happy with it. The anticipation. The excitement. The adrenaline. Surely this is YOUR moment…..   But instead of hearing "cha-ching" from your bank account, you hear…..crickets.    UMMMM...what in the Zuckerberg is going on?   Hold on.    Before concluding you're a failure and selling online isn't your calling, or worse, that you're better off shutting down your online course, hear me out:    Failure is a critical part of success.   This week on The Shine Show, I get real with you. After years of experience and all the launches I've helped skyrocket to cyber success, a recent launch of mine flopped!    I know first hand how bad Failure can feel. It's frustrating, confusing, consuming, and demotivating….but Failure means you are one step closer to success. It's simply another way that didn't work!    Even though the results were vastly different to what I was expecting, and at the time I wanted to run away and hide, after unpacking the results I realized it hasn't been a failure at all.    It's been a huge learning curve that has opened up doors of phenomenal possibilities and new opportunities to win…big time!   And this isn't some Kumbaya campfire, airy-fairy, woo woo thing I'm telling you to make you feel good. A failed launch is actually a REALLY good thing. It means you have more data and experience, a better idea of where to pivot, and you are closer than ever to reaching success.    There's no need to unpack your results alone!   Tune in to the show and learn how to turn a setback into your greatest comeback, plus all the tea from my recent ‘failed' launch to help you avoid the mistakes I made.   XXX Salome   P.S If you are a committed online course launcher and you'd love to get the step-by-step formula to scaling your business fast, then The Launch Lounge is the place to be.

    The business dream isn't always so dreamy. So how do you continue with confidence when it feels like everyone around you is so uncertain about where you're going?  This week we're going to get real vulnerable.... We're all about authenticity in The Launch Lounge, and yes, we do share the perceived wins. But we're also committed to keepin' it real and sharing the perceived losses.  The world tells us success should be instant. So it's no wonder many of us walk around feeling like utter failures because a 6 figure launch didn't happen immediately!  It takes a while for things to start coming together. It takes time before financial results start flying through.  And it's all part of the journey, and it's a really good thing because it allows you to get crystal clear on the bits that are working (and ready to scale) and the bits that are wasting your time and resources.  But I get it. At times, growing an online course can feel like eating dry cardboard. Data, patience, testing, trialing, zero sales....it can feel like all your hard work is going down the drain.  But it's in this very moment when it all feels too hard; you need all the hope, support, understanding, and patience in the world to keep going because you're well on the way to seeing incredible results. Believe me, it's going to happen! It's also at this moment when a shiny, bright bajillion-dollar successful launch story can make you want to throw a hammer at your laptop and scream, WHEN IS IT MY TURN! So this week on The Shine Show, we're going to get honest about the online course journey. The highs, the lows, and everything in between. My courageous, brilliant student Diane Evans from PhotoFluent transparently & bravely shares her online course journey. Even though her course teaches travellers to take photos they feel proud of, her business journey has been anything but picture perfect. Rather than giving up, Diane has stuck to her vision and found a way to keep the hope alive, find confidence within herself, and stay true to her dream.  If you're losing hope and feeling like things are taking forever to happen, this episode is exactly for you. Don't let the feeling of failure shape your future. Tune in now and hear Diane's story for yourself! It'll inspire you to keep going even when it feels tough. XXX Salome P.S. The Launch Lounge doors are opening for a limited time only. One of the things that can make or break your success is the community you surround yourself with. A community that supports you, cheers you on, and understands a growing list is JUST AS exciting as a full bank account.

    This week on The Shine Show, we're tackling the number one mistake holding most online course creators back (and what to do if you've already made it)!  But first, we're heading to my kitchen. Recently I set out to bake a cake. I had all my ingredients lined up; my apron was on, the oven was ready, and the instructions were simple (no double tray situations - if you remember back from #quesadillagate).  What could possibly go wrong?  I diligently measured all the ingredients and mixed them nicely into a .....runny, disgusting tasting goop! WHAT THE….. My culinary expert and cooking extraordinaire husband Emil came home to the goopy mess and was determined to solve the case.  Flour, check.  Butter, check.  Eggs, check.  Half a cup of baking powder, check.  "Wait, wait, wait. Half a cup of baking powder?" He burst out laughing. It was on this day I learned a very important, soapy-tasting lesson on the difference between baking soda and baking powder.  In the wrong proportion, this one little ingredient caused my whole cake to be an unwanted, overlooked waste of effort.  But if I had simply tweaked that one ingredient, my cake would have been a huge success, and the whole family would have queued up, ready to savor a slice.  The same goes for an online course. You might have all the right ingredients, but if one thing is slightly out of proportion, your whole online course cake could turn into a giant, unwanted, cyber soap-tasting mess.  Here's the good news.  There's no need to abandon the kitchen and give up on your course creation dreams. By simply tweaking the ingredients and using the correct measurements, you could be back on track to serving delicious, warm, chocolate online course cake that your students will be raving about. This week on The Shine Show, I share the three things every online course creator MUST do to scale their course successfully, including the number one mistake most online course creators make (and how to avoid it).  Ready to learn the secrets behind launching profitably, scaling your business, and creating a ton of moolah?  XXX Salome P.S.

    Have you really been able to create freedom for yourself in your business? You gave up that stable corporate job to pursue a freer life….but you're still bogged down by mundane things; you're still stressing about money; some of the people you have to deal with day-to-day STILL suck.  Where is this freedom you signed up for?  Let's take a few steps back. What does freedom mean to you? Is your idea of freedom spending the rest of your life drinking Pina Coladas on the beach and doing nothing?  Sorry to burst your bubble. That ain't freedom! Freedom in the entrepreneurial sense is waking up every morning and deciding what your world will look like. It's choosing to spend your time building something you love and fuels your fire rather than slaving away and creating someone else's dream. It's deciding how your time is spent each day (and yes, SOME of it may be spent sitting on the beach drinking cocktails). Tomorrow, if you decided all of this was too hard, you could switch off your emails and head back to your corporate job. And that in itself is freedom. You have the freedom to choose! If you're not feeling very free in your business, it's time to delve deeper and understand exactly what freedom means to you.  This week on the Shine Show, I'm taking you behind the doors of The Launch Lounge, where a beautiful moment between some of our exceptional students took place on a coaching call. Let me tell you firsthand that there is nothing more inspiring than seeing online course creators bonding over the challenges and the joys of building a business.  I've seen online course creators make a ton of money and still not feel free. Until you properly understand what freedom means for you, you'll never experience the soul-filling, joy-inducing freedom you deserve! So tune in now and be inspired by this truly magical moment from behind The Launch Lounge doors. XXX Salome   P.S I would love to hear what you took away from this episode.

Low and behold, the very month that my business made the most profit ever, I had a breakdown in the form of a panic attack (let me tell you, they ain't fun). But I managed to turn it into my biggest breakthrough. Now I look back on this experience, and I am so grateful it happened because it was a defining moment that changed my life and business and forced me to slow down, nurture myself and the things I love.  Because I discovered that when building a business from the ground up, the challenges will ALWAYS be there. What you're experiencing right now IS the business experience. And if you don't slow down, you'll fall down. So it's time to embrace the journey and learn how to look after yourself along the way.  That means putting boundaries in place, stepping away from the things that don't serve you (even when they seem to be really good things, like podcasts or audiobooks), staying true to yourself, and focusing on the fire in your heart that got you started in the first place. You can take some practical steps right now that will help you slow down, find more rest, and work from a place of calm rather than chaos, and I'll show you exactly what worked wonders for me.

Once upon a pre-pandemic time, Fiona had the dream life. As a music examiner for Trinity College, she traveled the world, stayed in beautiful hotels, and listened to beautiful music until Covid.   Overnight, her work dried up!   Like any well trained musical professional, she knew the show must go on. Determined to crisis-proof her love for working with music, Fiona put her entrepreneurial thinking cap on and began a Facebook group to help adults learn instruments with ease.    And it worked! One thing led to another, and Fiona began a membership, wrote a book, made some great lead magnets, and after a long journey of testing, trialling, u-turning....all the pieces of her online business are now finely tuned.   But this didn't happen overnight. Fiona is one of the hardest working students I've ever met. She turns up to every call (even when it means a 2 am wrap up in the UK).

Even if you're a creative person who brings beautiful crafts to life.   Sure, your audience may look a little different, and it is a learning curve that can feel intimidating.   But the potential is ginormous!    Going online means tapping into an audience of millions, rather than the few who happen to stumble upon you offline. It's a complete game-changer. Not to mention the benefits….AKA being in charge of your own schedule, controlling who and where you work, plus, hello making more sales on autopilot (yup....even while you sleep).    Many of the students I work with were initially skeptical about venturing into the cyberworld, from artists who only sold commissioned pieces in real life to interior designers who spent their entire careers working on high-end projects. And Lucy (who you'll hear more about on the podcast) who was lugging her beautiful crafts from market to market and had zero control about what type of customers turned up on the day (not to mention dealing with the freezing cold outdoor weather - heck no!). Now she is running a thriving online business from the warmth of her own home, has time to be there for the school pick-up, and is changing the world with her brilliant ideas.    And it can do the same for you, too.

    Feeling like there are invisible holes in your energy supply that are causing it to dry up faster than usual? The culprit might be lying right in front of you. It could be that old pen from that company you used to work for, or those electrical cords shoved in a messy pile to the side of your desk.   The truth is, every single thing around you subconsciously either gives or takes energy, and when building a big, ambitious, world-changing business, protecting your energy is KEY!   Today on The Shine Show, I'm joined by interior designer, and entrepreneur, the spectacular Maria Husch, all the way from Austria. I like to think of Maria as the Marie Kondo for entrepreneurs. She isn't just a regular interior designer; she is a cool interior designer. (Actually – now that I think about it, I've never met an uncool interior designer.)    Maria has taken an incredibly unique approach to interior design by showing people how to spark energy and inspire creativity through the power of beautiful spaces.    The two things we can never have enough of as entrepreneurs…#amirite!   Maria's students started redesigning their work environments and surrounding themselves with the things that made them feel successful, a mindset shift happened. Suddenly, she watched their businesses start booming, and in return, her own business also started booming.    But it wasn't all they cracked it up to be!   Her big, live launches were super successful, and students couldn't get enough, however Maria realised as exciting and profitable as it all was, the joy and passion was being stripped away. It's one thing to make a squillion, but if you aren't having any fun doing it, then no amount of moolah is going to change that.   So she stepped away from the ‘norm' and forged her own path….a path that protected her energy and brought her joy, even if it meant being less profitable!   Today on the show, Maria shares her journey along with some absolute pearls of wisdom about how to create an environment, a business, and a life that lights you up by surrounding yourself with more of the things that give you energy and removing the bits and bobs; that subconsciously are doing you no good!    (The majority of Maria's work is in German, however if you'd like to learn more about her work, click here for the ‘Success Position' doc showing you exactly how to set up your office for success.)   If you've been feeling worn out or a little deflated, this week's episode is the spark of revitalization you need.

    Ever realized it's easy to become hyper-focused on having the perfect sales page, the perfect launch plan, and the perfect content to smash sales out of the ballpark?   It can sometimes feel like if one thing is out of place, it's game over!   Today's guest on The Shine Show will make you rethink *everything* when it comes to launching & sales.   Toni Bache is what I like to call a unicorn online course creator. After breaking tremendous ground in the corporate world, and always having a few side hustles happening in the background, she took the leap and decided to find a way to share her knowledge in a more scalable format.   With zero followers on social media, an email list of 400, no content, no sales page, and no funnel, and a $50 webpage, Toni decided she would launch a membership and build it on the way down. She sent out a non-fancy google doc with her idea to everyone on her list and invited them to sign up.    A recipe for disaster, right?   Cue the 300 sign-ups later and a 6-figure day. Yep, you read that correctly!   If you're anything like me, you probably have a million questions. Was it black magic? Did she have some wild manifestation technique? Perhaps she sells a Pina Colada making course?    So how did this happen?    Toni simply understood one thing - people buy from people. Marketing can sometimes feel excessively complicated! But when we step back and zoom out, it's all about connecting with people on a deeper level and solving a real problem they face every day.   This is one story you will not want to miss! Head to the link in my bio and get ready to have your socks inspired off by Toni's unbelievable, unconventional launch. You're going to love her!   XXXSalome   P.S I would LOVE to hear if Toni's story encouraged you to make any changes to your launch model?

    I'm sure you're sick of hearing about 'gratitude' at this time of the year.   It can often feel like an overused buzzword. However, *hear me out* gratitude is more than a whole ton of Kumbaya around a campfire. It's a key component in achieving unbelievable goals!    There are so many neurological reasons we can benefit from this general practice of expressing thanks for both the good and the bad in our lives, especially in times of challenge and change.    It's safe to say, the last two years have been pretty traumatic for all of us, and navigating a new world with unexpected changes, all of which were entirely out of our control. Especially as business owners!   If left undealt with, this trauma can start wreaking havoc internally without us even realizing it and hold us back from experiencing the unbelievable good that's coming our way!    Here is one thing I have discovered about dealing with tough times.    When you learn to become grateful for the bad and see the beauty it brings, it loses its power over you. It no longer consumes you with negative emotions. Gratitude is reclaiming your power and looking at the situation with peace.    I really encourage you to sit down and think about all the good that has resulted from 2021, even in the moments we'd rather not relive. Perhaps you found new opportunities in your business, or you had more quality time to spend with family, or you embraced a slower pace of life.

You might be thinking, "Ummm, Salome, I literally gave out like 3 modules of the most game-changing, insanely valuable information for FREE in my webinar. Do they not understand what that's worth?

    SURPRISE! 3-part mini series coming your way. If you're creating a webinar, either right now or in the near future,  you literally cannot afford to miss this! (Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with giving away all your best content for free).   I remember putting together my very first webinar. I assumed the magic trick was to load in as much information as possible, make my viewers feel like they had hit the webinar jackpot, to then naturally buy EVERYTHING I had on offer, turning me into a bazillionaire overnight.   Simple right?   The EXACT opposite happened. It fell flat, and I was teaching my super valuable content for free!    I've dried up many, many, many wobbly webinar tears from course creators who poured their heart and soul into a webinar that didn't convert, and it breaks my heart!   From the good, the bad, and the downright ugly, I've seen it all when it comes to creating high converting webinars, and I've finally cracked the webinar converting code which I know many of you have been asking for.   We're all friends here, so truthfully, I CEEBS putting together a new course right now. But I would never leave you high and dry.   So, I've done the next best thing and created a 3 part mini-series podcast teaching you all I've learned about building high converting webinars that sell like crazy!   By the end of this three-part series, you'll have the framework to craft a compelling webinar that has your audience on the edge of their seats, credit card in hand, KEEN AS MUSTARD to buy from you!   Tune into The Shine Show for part one of this very special webinar series, and join me as I crack open the can of webinar worms and let you in on all the tips and tricks (and everything I wish I knew when first starting out) that will take your next webinar from flop to fab. Next week, we'll tackle exactly what content to include that will leave your audience saying, "OMG, that was A-MA-ZING. I can't wait to learn more."   XXX Salome   P.S Did you find today's episode helpful? I LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing your feedback!

    Hands up if you've ever thought, "I am NOT cut out for this whole CEO thing."   Being titled CEO made me feel like a total imposter. I had a business idea, driven by purpose, wanting to create something beautiful and meaningful in the world to help people, and I had brought that into reality with a desire to change the world.    But this CEO title seemed to suck the beauty out of it.   Why is that?   When we look at 'good leadership' qualities, typically, it's very masculine traits that come to mind— powerful, assertive, authoritative, decisive. It's no wonder women all over the world are thinking, NO WAY when it comes to leading a team.  It can feel uncomfortable and unnatural, especially when you're wired to operate from feminine energy.    BUT guess what? There is another way.    Imagine being a leader who exudes all the beautiful feminine energy traits we've spent our whole life learning?   Imagine leading your business by nurturing, communicating, listening, supporting, and showing grace to everyone you come across, from clients to employees to fellow entrepreneurs?   The world is changing, masculinity is taking a backseat, and femininity is rising to the top! There has never been a more critical time for leaders to embrace feminine energy and lead gently. No need to sound, act and think like a man to achieve success; you can embrace your natural traits and shape the world around you with the gorgeous energy you naturally bring to the table.   Today on The Shine Show, you'll meet my mentor, fellow visionary, and friend, Kris Plachy. She's the expert in teaching women entrepreneurs everything they didn't know they needed to know about managing and leading others to achieve extraordinary results while remaining authentic to themselves.   Tune in to discover: What feminine energy leadership looks like in a practical day-to-day sense How to handle resentment that occurs from being ‘everyone's everything' Managing a team in a way that is conducive to your natural traits Using feminine energy as your secret sauce for attracting the most accomplished, driven, high quality employees in the world   AND so much more!   I'm so excited to share this episode with you, as leading with femininity is emerging in its entirety, and I want to do all I can to set YOU up to pioneer the movement. It's time to normalize the feminine way of leadership, embrace the gentle, embody kindness and lead the way with grace!   XXX   Salome   P.S Has this episode inspired you to change the way you lead? I would love to hear your thoughts! It's so important to surround yourself with female leaders who are embracing their natural energy, and I would love to be that for you.
