A lot of us get caught up in perfectionism.We have to have our membership programs done perfectly. Then when we finally take our offer into the market, there are crickets because it's not based on what your audience actually wanted. In this episode, we are discussing with award-winning online marketer and book author Dr. Mary Barbera why you should not let perfectionism stop you from simply putting your membership out there, regardless of the number of followers you have and how you can use market feedback to make sure that what you offer is perfectly aligned with what people are looking for.Dr. Mary Barbera “fell” into the autism world in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas was diagnosed with autism. Since then, Mary transformed from a confused and overwhelmed parent to a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author. After earning a PhD, Mary launched her first online course in early 2015 and later built additional courses and a membership program to help both parents and autism professionals. In her vlogs, podcasts, books, webinars, and online courses, Mary teaches her unique step-by-step system and method to help children with autism (or signs of autism) talk more while reducing tantrums and other problem behaviors. Mary's latest book Turn Autism Around was published in 2021 by Hay House and is helping parents and professionals start turning things around for young children with early signs of autism and older children with an autism diagnosis who are still struggling with talking, tantrums, eating, sleeping and potty training.

About Leanne (in her words): My mission is to support parents of kids with developmental differences through psychology education so that they can be their child's best cheerleader and advocate. My story began when I was in high school and wanted to be a teacher, before switching to study psychology. I realised that I wanted to teach to make lives better, and found my place learning about people, families and children - and helping people gain the knowledge and skills they need to improve their day to day. It's been 20 years that I've been working with children and families, while raising one of my own. That's almost 20 years helping families: understand what their kid needs that's different to other kids know which things are important and which things parents can let go teach kids skills like managing emotions, problem solve, and get along with others reflect on what's important and focus on the big picture to take the stress out of the day-to-day Today, I'm doing things differently. My clients get access to all the psychology education that would usually be offered in the first weeks of intervention - so you can start to change things at home on your own, feeling confident and enjoying family life again.
