On this episode of Social Strategy Slayer, Jess Jacobsen is sitting down with her friend Anna Renderer to talk about how she went from being a personal trainer in someone else's gym to a PopSugar internet sensation to a 7 figure business owner. Anna and her husband Vito La Fata own Legacy Brand Creator where they mentor experts, coaches and service providers on how to transform their expertise into an automated signature system, coaching program, and online courses. In this interview, Jess & Anna dive into: What gave Anna the itch to break free of personal training & start building online programs What it takes to thrive as a fitness business owner in 2021 & where the industry is going How Anna has been able to succeed even in the face of failure “I know that you provide a service, and you have all this expertise and all these certifications, But it's not about you. It's about the solution that you provide people. And if people can just remember that in everything they do marketing-wise, they will do ten times better.” -Anna Renderer Connect with Anna Renderer: Website: https://legacycreatorcoaching.com/ (https://legacycreatorcoaching.com/) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annarenderer/ (https://www.instagram.com/annarenderer/) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/annarenderer (https://www.facebook.com/annarenderer) Register for the Legacy Loop Formula Masterclass: https://thelegacybrandcreator.com/register/ (https://thelegacybrandcreator.com/register/) ** This interview is from an interview series earlier in 2021.

On this episode of Social Strategy Slayer, Jess Jacobsen discusses the three main reasons why your social media audience may not be converting into paying customers. She goes into depth on what you can do to break through these three major obstacles: your audience doesn't trust you, your audience doesn't trust themselves, and your audience doesn't trust your systems and processes. Also, stay tuned to hear about how some of Jess's real-life clients have taken action to overcome these major obstacles themselves and are creating huge success through their social media campaigns. “The truth is if your audience doesn't see your face on social media regularly, if they don't see your content regularly, then they're not trusting you the way they trust somebody else.” -Jess Jacobsen 04:11 → 1. Your audience doesn't trust you. 09:52 → 2. Your audience doesn't trust themselves. 17:18 → 3. Your audience doesn't trust your system/process.

Many people are looking to build their online brand & business these days.

Today, I dissect the essential aspects any entrepreneur or individual should do to build their brand and business with online expert Vito LaFata. Vito is someone I’ve known for 10+ years. There is no one I know that has invested more in their personal and business growth than Vito. And for that, you will greatly prosper today. In today’s episode, you will learn: The ONE thing that’s most important to be successful online today. The five phases of building your online brand & business. Why social media alone will not build a long-term sustainable business model. What’s working in social media and what’s not. How Vito went from a burnt-out brick & mortar business owner to potentiating his vision of owning a vineyard and leading retreats to help people discover, create, and live their deepest purpose. How do you build an online business if you don’t have a lot of money or a big following yet? Why having a strong online presence will ultimately allow you to create more success and scale more impact.

The Prelude When the World Changes Forever Do you find yourself out of focus during this time of uncertainty? Because we fixate on our previous way of living, we may fail to recognize that the world is changing. In this episode, Vito and Anna share their insights on how you should face the challenges brought by the pandemic. They provide five fundamental principles to help you get on top of your game during a time when people are in shock. You can still be ambitious, and you can even grow. Now is not a time to sit and wait for someone to arrive, but a time to stand up and lead the charge to the future. “Before it was a luxury. Well, those things are gone. Now, it's necessity and a must to have these things, or you ain't gonna survive this next thing.”- Vito Lafata Other Resources- Beach Body on Demand - https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/d/BODStandalone?referringRepID=1901132 Shakeology - https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/b/shakeology?referringRepID=1901132 In this Episode- The importance of taking care of your health and fitness. It’s no longer managing to fit into your jeans, but making sure you’re not at risk! Powering up your immune system. It’s your best defense against COVID-19. Your mental health is also just as important. Recognize that your job is vulnerable. Diversify and create an online business. Scale up your competency, especially in the online space. Set some time aside as a family, create a vision, and plan for the future. Keep your eyes on the positive side of things. Take action and do something good instead of consuming all the things that you don’t have control over.

Talking to Anna Renderer, host of a milion POPSUGAR Fitness videos you've no doubt seen and sweated to on YouTube, is a weird cross between feeling like you're being hugged and feeling like you're getting a shot of adrenaline straight to the goal-getting part of your brain. She exclaims, she gushes, she lets you in on her secrets—and you're left with a completely different mindset on your goals on to-do list. I met Renderer in August at the MINDBODY Bold Conference, where we sat for an interview before she took the stage as a presenter. After our conversation, I knew we needed to get her on the #WeGotGoals podcast, and Renderer was more than game, especially once she heard the theme was Better, Faster, Stronger. "I'm ALL about that!" I distinctly remember her saying in a tone of voice that was equivalent to a fist pump. And after hearing more about her background in high performance and the clarity with which she sets her goals, it's clear to me why Renderer is so successful. She told me herself: she's got the hoo-rah, but she's also got the do-rah. What she means by that, she explains, is yes, she's got the strength of a thousand cheerleaders when it comes to enthusiasm for goal-setting and achieving. But she's also incredibly practical when it comes to her own strategies and productivity habits, which she shared with me on the podcast. "If there's one thing you can do with your productivity," she tells me, "focus on the needle movers. Now that I can't do ALL this stuff, what do I NEED to do? Block time to solely focus on action steps that get you closer to those projects getting completed." And like our team, Renderer is a big believer in the power of saying goals out loud—in fact, that's how she heard about the available role with POPSUGAR Fitness. At a Venice Beach barbecue, Renderer was talking about her passion for serving others and how she was setting her sights on working in fitness to help others get more out of their lives. Another attendee overheard her big dreams, and reached out later saying he'd heard about this role as a part-time YouTube fitness host for POPSUGAR and thought she'd be perfect. Three million subscribers later, it's clear that Renderer was in fact the perfect fit for the job—but she never would have gotten her chance if she hadn't been vocal about her audacious dreams. Finally, for those of you looking for those specific, actionable tips YOU can use to be better, faster, and stronger in all areas of your life, listen to the very end of this episode: Renderer lets me in on her STRONG method, where each letter stands for a healthy habit that keeps her at her peak. They're all easy enough that you can do them in just a few minutes, and trust me when I say they're habits I'm going to incorporate into my day, too. You can find Anna Renderer on Instagram and learn more about her coaching services on her website. If you love this episode as much as we do, subscribe to the #WeGotGoals podcast wherever you like to listen to podcasts, on Apple, Spotify, and more (and hey, leave us a rating while you're at it!).

What you repeat is what’s remembered and how you consistently show up is how others will remember you. It’s more important than ever as a mother and role model to have awareness of what you repeatedly say and what energy you bring into each moment because your kids are listening and memorizing it. Think about what life lessons and life philosophies you are teaching. What practices or habits are you role modeling?

Have you ever felt the battle between what you “want to eat” and what you “should eat”? If so, you aren’t alone. Almost every person has this battle because we are human!

Strict diets and deprivation are the enemy of your long term weight loss goals. I’m willing to challenge the “diet” industry on this one and share some very important reasons why I would advise you to never blindly trust just any diet book, plan or weight loss system without first understanding these 3 reasons. Most of the FAD diets, weight loss supplements, pills or powders that promise quick fix weight loss solutions are promising you something much different. A lot of times these programs deliver a bad relationship with food and a lot of weight fluctuation. A diet is simp… The post 3 Reasons You Should Never Diet Again appeared first on Anna Renderer.

Then thanks to YouTube videos she became the host for PopSugar. And as much as you think that was the dream, it wasn’t. It’s when she built her own online brand, that her whole life changed.

Before Anna created The Sexy Confident Life, before she became the fitness host of POPSUGAR fitness, and BEFORE she became a successful Certified High Performance coach with an empowering Beachbody business, she traveled a journey full of ups, downs, trials, and tribulations, stemming from a childhood of poverty. Through the hardships, through the developed survival mindset, through the failures and successes, Anna CONTINUOUSLY chooses to go up and to keep traveling forward as opposed as keeping the “backup plan” in the back of her mind. Anna expresses the importance of education, of experience, and of failing in order to find success in the newest CHANGE by CHOICE podcast. ~Charlotte xo

Anna Renderer is beautiful and brilliant. I’m not just saying that because she’s my wife. Her own brand, Sexy Confident Woman, has a million downloads on PopSugar Fitness. She shared three places that she consistently goes to when looking to create her content. Take a look. 1 ) Frequently Asked Questions Knowing your niche is everything. Their mindset is exactly what you’re trying to tap into. So why not use their very words to generate content? During the course of several interactions with your tribe, you may start to notice that the same questions keep popping up. That’s because your tribe has a specific set of needs that they are hoping to work on. By paying attention to those questions, you create a Content Cyclone of material that comes directly from what your audience is looking for. The best part is, once you have that content, if anyone continues to ask those same questions (which they will because they’re so frequently asked), you can turn around and link to your articles that address those very concerns. It’s what Anna does and it brings her a ton of respect from her tribe. 2) The Questions That Should Be Asked Of course, people don’t know what they want. That’s the very nature of your expertise. You know stuff and they don’t. So obviously their questions aren’t everything since they don’t know what components they’re missing. If they did, they wouldn’t need you. So plug those gaps, by doing what Anna does: point out the questions that should be asked. You are the expert. You are the one who’s seen things and experienced the very cycle that your clients are going through. So take this time to point them in the direction that will help them along their journey of change. People need to be taught what to look at. That’s why they’re here, they’re looking for your exact expertise. Guiding them to the right direction is essential and creating content from questions they should be asking is a great way to prepare them for the things they haven’t considered. Best of all, those questions make great titles for articles and newsletters. Shock them if you have to. The sky’s the limit! 3) Survey Your Tribe Stop playing guessing games! Survey your tribe to find out what they’re looking for! Hey, anything that takes the guesswork out of planning is aces in my book. And Anna simply asks her clients, through surveys, what kind of content they’re looking for. You don’t ask it explicitly, but you use their feedback to create that content that speaks to them. Whenever a client joins her Small Steps Planner, a little questionnaire is included. They respond to that and, presto, she’s provided with lots of great comments and feedback. That kind of feedback is invaluable. Not only is it a great source of content creation, it prevents your programs and services from gathering any rust. You evolve directly with their needs. That’s gold, baby!
