Adrianna Keefe joins Whiskey and Work to talk about her success following a specific niche. Kelsey and Adrianna talk about the power of settling into this and gaining confidence to market yourself as an expert. Sit back and grab a notebook, the two lay out how to do just this through their own stories.    What we're talking about… Adrianna Keefe describes herself as a mother of three, a wife, a human design coach and speaker.  Due to some three-year-old mischievousness, this episode lays the foundation for how Adrianna grew her business and a future episode will dive into human design. Please also note this episode does entail some mildly explicit language. Adrianna shares about her quarter life crisis and how she became very attracted to the idea of spirituality.  While diving into this learning she was introduced to human design, but continued to add other skills to her tool box of knowledge.  Adrianna explains how her main objective was to help mothers that felt as she had during her own quarter life crisis. However, her exact focus wasn't clear as she was hesitant to declare a niche for herself. During this time, she practiced reading human design charts for friends, family members, and various clients for free or for a low charge. On a call one day she opted to introduce herself as a “human design expert”  This proclamation immediately brought more business her way because it clarified her business purpose as a coach.  These clients were often one-and-done chart readers — raising a new dilemma in her practice.  She then created a mid level online course based on client feedback to create a space that allowed clients to keep working on these skills without the financial restraints of one-on-one coaching. This middle ground approach is ultimately what grew her and allows it to grow today.  The two talk about the importance and freedom of having a minimalist business as a mom.  Want more of Adrianna or want to learn more about human design?

Are you feeling unsure if a masterminds group is for you right now? Kelsey is here to help with that answer this episode by providing three principles for when you should and should not join a masterminds group. She details her pivotal experience joining a mastermind and how she has since used these groups to help her grow her business.  What we're talking about… Kelsey shares the origin of her friendship with Kathy Heller  Joining Kathy's rather intimidating Masterminds group  How Kelsey felt supported and pushed by this group which ultimately made her invest time and money into joining a group like this at least once a year Now as she leads her own mastermind group, Kelsey breaks down when to and to join a group like this  When it's time When there is an education gap — this can be productivity, knowledge, etc. that a simple course of video can't teach you. Masterminds can provide you with tangible insights from people who have gone through a similar experience as you in their business. When you know you have fully plateaued, despite putting towards actionable efforts. Kelsey shares how talking to and creating entrepreneur friends in these groups can lead to pivots in your business If you are in need of one-on-one guidance. Kelsey shares how this kind of guidance lights a fire for her and gets her moving in her business. However, this kind of education can be more or less helpful depending on personality. Additionally, not all masterminds offer one-on-one support, so know what you're signing up for beforehand!  When it's not time  When you don't plan to make your money back. Kelsey prefaces this can be somewhat controversial, but her logistical mindset wants to know the time and financial investment will have a tangible benefit on the other side.  When you don't fully trust the coach/leader of the mastermind — the whole course will be built around what they value, which will inevitably guide the whole program. If possible, try to connect with the coach one-on-one beforehand to see if you have similar values and if this is a person you want guiding you through the storm. You are not feeling excited and energized by this. If you're in your stretch zone and feeling like you are working towards a better version of yourself, keep it up. However, if you're in a fire zone and burnt out, now may not be your time.  If a masterminds group isn't for you right now, courses can also be a good substitute. Regardless of your personalized next best step, Kelsey reminds us to just keep taking action. Do something that moves you forward!  A {free} Tool or Two!  Did someone say free? Yup that's right.
