Joanna and Kathe are still on vacation, so our latest episode of "Insurance Business Babes," is a replay of Christian Brindle and Kathe Kline where they discussed the sixth stage of a Medicare Agent's Business: The building Tweaking, and Maintaining Stage.**Building Robust Systems for Success**A major topic we delved into was the critical importance of building efficient systems, particularly through Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools. A CRM is indispensable for tracking client interactions, ensuring compliance, and maintaining strong relationships. We emphasized that agents must control their data, rather than relying solely on carrier sites or upline-provided CRMs. I recounted a personal experience where thorough CRM notes were vital in resolving a client complaint, underscoring the importance of detailed record-keeping.**The Value of Virtual Assistants**Christian highlighted the significant return on investment (ROI) from hiring virtual assistants (VAs) to handle non-client-facing tasks, a sentiment I wholeheartedly agreed with. My journey with VAs began after reading "The 4-Hour Work Week," which convinced me of their value. Today, my VA handles various administrative tasks, allowing me to focus on client interactions and strategic aspects of the business. Both Christian and I noted the efficiency gains from delegating tasks, leading to improved business operations.**Automating for Efficiency**In our discussion, we touched on the role of automation in streamlining workflows. I mentioned using TypeDesk for automating responses to common queries, reducing the need for repetitive typing. Christian shared his use of pre-recorded videos to explain processes, which they then transcribe for clients who prefer reading. Such systems save time and ensure consistent communication with clients.**Personalized Client Interactions**Maintaining personal connections with clients is essential for lasting relationships and referrals. I leverage tools like Book Like A Boss and Calendly for appointment scheduling, and I send hand-signed birthday, Valentine's, and Thanksgiving cards to keep in touch with clients. These personalized gestures have proven invaluable for client retention and generating referrals.**Conclusion**In this episode, Christian and Kathe explored the multifaceted strategies that contribute to a successful insurance agency. From leveraging CRMs and VAs to automating responses and personalizing client interactions, each element is crucial in building a robust, efficient, and client-centric practice. Listen in for deeper insights and practical advice on navigating the insurance industry.

Want to get more done, in less time, with less effort? Me too! I'm big on efficiency for two reasons, I want to deliver a quality service to my customers, and I like a lot of free time. No matter what kind of business owner you are - a coach, a service provider, a course creator - we often find ourselves juggling multiple tasks, feeling pulled in different directions, waking up with a to do list running through our head that always feels urgent, struggling to balance our professional and personal lives.  How do we tick off those to do's quickly and easily so we can focus on the parts of the business that light us up, or take more time off for ourselves without sacrificing the quality of our deliverables? For me, templates are the answer. They streamline my processes, the save me time, they let me focus on the stuff I love doing, and they help me delegate! Here's a breakdown on the types of templates I find myself using over and over again in my business because they really free me up a lot. And as an added bonus, some of these also take away the emotional tie I have to the activity, if it's something I feel nervous about doing, having the template helps me do it with less stress, and without stumbling through it! --- Mentioned in this episode: My Time-Saving Templates Manychat (affiliate link) ⁠Book Like A Boss (affiliate link)⁠ --- Come chat with me on ⁠Instagram⁠! --- Ready to simplify your business?

If you're a business owner, course creator, service provider, or coach who has been in business for at least a couple of years, you've probably realised that striking a balance between making great money and working hours that suit you can be a bit of a juggling act.  But it is possible!  I like to work mornings and take the afternoons & evenings off and I like going to the movies on Thursdays when everyone else is at work or at school, sitting in Gold Class in the dark for a couple of hours while people bring me snacks

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback you gave me on my last episode where I talked about what it felt like to go on my 2 week cruise and have my business run itself while I was away! A lot of you said it was a fun one to listen to and really helped you break out of that mindset of “I have to be on all the time as a business owner”, I'm so glad you found the episode helpful! Today I'm going to go into more detail on the systems and tools and strategies I used to be able to take that break and have my business keep running smoothly while I was away - how I handled content creation which is the key to my business growth, and how I handled sales and customer service while I was away, not touching anything in my business while I was on the cruise. --- Mentioned in this episode: Take a Break Templates Google Workspace (affiliate link) Book Like A Boss (affiliate link) Website Contact page ThriveCart (affiliate link) ConvertKit (affiliate link) Meta Business Suite app Victoria Boyd's Social Sales Funnel training The Simpler Business Mastermind --- Enjoyed this episode?

I want to talk to you about your tools (software). But first, I want to tell you a story. A couple of weeks ago, my daughter invited her mother and me for dinner, and we arrived mid-afternoon. As is always the case, Mother and daughter had lots to do and talk about, which left me to my own devices. So I turned on the TV, launched Disney+ and started scrolling through the menu to find something to watch. I knew there was the possibility they might need my help with something, so I didn't want to choose a show that would require my full attention. After some time, I decided to watch the Pixar movie UP! I hadn't seen it since my kids were young, but I remember it as a fun, feel-good movie. Plus, I wasn't concerned about missing part of it for whatever reason. In UP!, there's a character named Dug. Perhaps you're familiar with him. Dug is a dog that the two main characters meet along their journey. Dug wears a special collar his master made that allows him to talk. Now, I don't want to spoil too much of the movie if you haven't seen it. But let's say that Dug, like most dogs, is easily distracted. This is evident in the film every time he sees a squirrel. He might be mid-sentence explaining something important when suddenly, SQUIRREL. He's distracted. If you've ever heard the term Squirrel Syndrome to describe someone who is easily distracted, it came from Dug. A close sister to Squirrel Syndrome is Shiny Object Syndrome. Shiny object syndrome (SOS) is a continual state of distraction brought on by an ongoing belief that there is something new worth pursuing. According to Wikipedia, Shiny object syndrome is a psychological concept where people focus on a new and fashionable idea, regardless of how valuable or helpful it may ultimately be. While at the moment, it seems to be something worth focusing one's attention upon, it is ultimately a distraction. People who face a fear of missing out are especially susceptible, as the distraction of shiny objects in themselves clouds judgment and focus. I have a confession to share with you. For a long time, I suffered from Shiny Object Syndrome regarding software. Any time I saw or heard of a new tool, especially software, that might somehow make my life easier, I wanted it. Even if I had no idea how or why I would use it, it was FOMO, the fear of missing out. The pitch, ad, or recommendation made the software sound so helpful and desirable that I just had to have it. Someone would mention, or I would read, how this new software was the be-all, end-all of software. Using it can save you 10 hours of work per day, and your clients will start mailing you envelopes full of cash for all the fantastic features you can offer them because of it. It sounds too good to be true. But what if it isn't? And if I act right now, for a limited time, I will only pay $99 instead of the regular price of $9,000. What a deal. How could I pass that up? Ok, you know I'm exaggerating. But you also know there's some truth to what I'm saying. Looking through my Applications folder, I see several tools, and BTW, I'm using the terms tools and software interchangeably. Still, I see several tools I bought and never used or used for a short time before consciously giving up on them, or sometimes, just forgetting about them because it was not as helpful as I thought. I fell for the hype. And that's not counting all the online tools, memberships, subscriptions and communities I paid for and never used. We work hard for the money we make as designers. And we must be careful not to waste that money on tools we don't need. Case in point. Have you ever heard of Doodly? It's a tool that lets you easily create whiteboard animation videos. You know, the kind where you see a hand with a marker that quickly draws the animation. They're great for explainer videos. A few years ago, I saw a Facebook ad promoting a lifetime license for Doodly. It usually costs $39/month. But for a one-time purchase of $67, I would have access to it for life. There's no arguing. That's a fantastic deal. The problem is, I've never used it. The ad pitch for Doodly made it so appealing. I thought to myself. This would be an excellent service to offer my clients. And they hooked me in. I never considered that in my 30+ years in the design space, I've never needed to create a whiteboard animation video. Not once did I ever think, "you know what? A whiteboard animation video is exactly what this client needs. I wish I knew how to make them." The possibility of this tool blinded me. But in the three years since I fell for this deal. The opportunity to create a whiteboard animation video has never come up. So even though it was a fantastic deal. It was a waste of my money. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with Doodly. I still think it's a great tool. It just isn't a tool I need. Sure, the lifetime deal means I have it should I ever need it. But why spend money on something you may or may not ever need? Nowadays, everywhere you look, there's some tool or software that can benefit you and your business. I'm a big fan of AppSumo. I'm even an affiliate of theirs. If you're not familiar with AppSumo, it's a website that offers software products at amazing deals. Often lifetime deals where you pay once and own the software forever. AppSumo does a fantastic job at making these deals seem irresistible. How owning them improves your life and streamlines the way you work. In other words, they're great at marketing the products they promote in a way that makes you want them. And AppSumo is just one site. PitchGround, MacHeist, MightyDeals and many other websites offer lifetime deals for great-sounding products. And if you buy something, A lifetime deal is the way to go. After all, why pay monthly for something if you can pay once and use it forever? I've bought many lifetime deals for software I still use daily. And they've saved me a ton of money. Plutio, my project management software, costs $39/per month. I paid $49 for a lifetime license. Billwaze, is my invoicing software, although when I bought it, it was called EZBilling360. The plan I have costs $99.99/month. I paid $59 for a lifetime license. SocialBee is what I use to schedule and recycle social media content. It costs $39/month. I paid $49 for a lifetime license. Book Like A Boss is my appointment scheduler. The plan I have costs $15.83/month. I paid $49 for a lifetime license. And that's just a few. So you can see how buying a lifetime license is worth it. But that's provided you use the software. I've also purchased many lifetime licenses on these sites and elsewhere for tools I don't use. I was a culprit of shiny object syndrome. My problem was I would buy a great-sounding tool without knowing why or how I would use it. And I wasted a lot of money because of it. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the products sold on these sites are not good. Many of them are. And they do help a lot of people. But just because they help a lot of people doesn't mean they're going to help you. In fact, my AppSumo purchase history is four pages long and dates back to 2015. And you know what? Looking through those pages, I can see a pattern. Every piece of software I bought and still use today is something I bought because I needed it at the time. Equally, almost every piece of software I purchased but didn't have an immediate use for, I don't use anymore, if I ever did at all. Just because something might be helpful to you someday is not a good excuse to part with your hard-earned money today. Owning many different tools doesn't make you a better or more efficient designer if you don't or can't use them. Remember, you're what makes you a designer. It's not the tools you use. Just like a photographer is a photographer regardless of the camera or lenses they use. Just because they buy a new lens doesn't make them a better photographer. Sure, it might allow them to take photos they couldn't take before. But that only helps them if they take the kind of photos the lens is designed for. A portrait photographer doesn't need a high-power zoom lens. So buying one is a waste of money. As a design business owner, you must be careful about your purchase of tools. That's why, to help fight my shiny object syndrome, I started to apply filters and question every tool I'm considering buying. It helps me stop wasting money on tools I don't need. And you should do the same. Don't ask yourself whether or not a tool will be helpful because, in most cases, it could be helpful. Look at Doodly. It's a beneficial tool if you need to create whiteboard animation videos. Instead, ask yourself whether or not it's something you need right now or in the foreseeable future. Are you in a situation or know of an upcoming situation that could benefit from owning that tool? If you can't think of immediate use for it, don't buy it. Now, sometimes you feel tempted by a tool because you feel it will help fast-forward something that might be difficult you're trying to avoid or get through. Take a CMS, for example, a Client Management System. There are hundreds of options out there you could use to manage your clients and projects. And hearing how someone is successfully using a different system may make you question your current system. But buying a new CMS may not be the answer. Maybe your frustration comes from a lack of understanding of your current CMS. And buying a new one is an easy way to avoid dealing with it. How does that saying go? "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." Even though a tool is working well for someone else, it may not be the answer to your problem. New is not always better. Instead, embrace what you already have and make it work for you. I mentioned how I use Plutio to manage my projects. Is it the best tool for the job? I have no idea. It might not be. Many designers use other tools that work well for them. However, I invested in Plutio, so I'm making it work. And think of this. Tools that claim to make things easier or more efficient, or ones that say they'll save you time, may attract you because you don't want to do those things. You're looking for an easy way out. What sounds like a great deal may be nothing more than a bandaid covering up what you really should or could be doing on your own. I  talked earlier about lifetime deals and how they can save you a lot of money, which is true. But be wary. The offer of a lifetime deal makes it easy to get roped into purchasing something you don't need. My AppSumo purchase history is evidence of that. It lists many lifetime deals I've purchased that I never used. I bought them because I thought the price was too good to pass up for something that may come in handy someday. In other words, they were a waste of money. I didn't apply my filters. I didn't have an immediate use for them, so I never should have bought them. But what about tools with monthly fees? How many tools do you have that you pay a monthly fee for? How many of them do you get your money's worth from? I had an aHrefs subscription for over a year. Ahrefs is a fantastic platform to help track, analyze and grow websites. It's excellent with keyword research. It enables you to analyze and monitor competition, track website backlinks, and much more. If you're trying to build and grow websites, aHrefs is the tool to have. But it comes at a cost. My subscription was $127 Canadian per month. And every month, when I saw that charge on my credit card statement, I questioned whether it was worth it. The tool is excellent, but I wasn't using it as much as when I first subscribed. Was I getting $127 per month worth out of it? When I concluded that the answer was no, I wasn't; I cancelled my subscription. Why pay $127 a month for a tool I only use occasionally, no matter how much I like it? If I find myself in a situation where I need it again, I can always re-subscribe. But in the meantime, that $127 can be used elsewhere. I recently did an audit of all my monthly subscriptions and cancelled several of them that I no longer felt I needed. In all, I'm now saving over $300 per month. These days, I apply a filter, as I mentioned earlier, whenever I consider a new tool if I see an ad for something interesting on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube. Or maybe a podcaster I trust or a colleague recommends something I could use. In the past, I might buy it, no questions asked. But now I try to disconnect myself from the idea that the tools are the answer that will take me to the next level. The tools are simply a way to become more efficient at something. The tools are a means to an end. They're there to support and help you with the things you are trying to do. Once again, you're who makes you a designer. Not the tools you use. In many cases, these tools become a distraction and pull us away from the things we're trying to do. And they cost money and can become dangerous for you because they're masked by the idea that they'll make your life easier. But you don't need all the tools. I want you to make an audit of all the tools you're currently using and figure out which ones are necessary. This can save you money. It can save you time. And it can bring you back to what's vital for you and your business. And stop paying for those tools that aren't necessary. Think back to the photographer analogy. A photographer who buys a new lens every time they want to take a different kind of photo will soon find themselves with a hefty camera bag, just like all the tools we have to deal with as designers. Imagine that photographer making decisions now. They have over a dozen lenses to choose from, and it will become harder and harder for them to decide which one to use. This works against them and makes them less efficient photographers because they don't have the time to master each lens. Be honest with yourself. The tools you have right now. Are you using them to the best of your ability? Are you maximizing the investment you put into them? Tools are not magic buttons. You can't just buy something and all your problems go away. That's not how it works. So do that audit. Figure out which tools are necessary for what you do. Next, figure out which would be great if you actually used them. Then decide if you want to commit to using them. If not, stop paying for them. Finally, determine what you don't use or need and eliminate them. Open up your wallet and mind for the tools you will use. I did this episode as much for me as it is for you. I've failed at this before, and I want to hold myself accountable to be better at it in the future. Every time I see a new tool come across my screen, I need to ask myself. Do I need this right now? Will this actually help me? Or is it just distracting me from what I know I need to do? More often than not, it turns out I don't need the tool, regardless of how good the deal seems.

If selling podcast sponsorships is not your thing, the power to make money from your podcast is in your control with these options. Affiliate Advertising This is where you direct your listeners to a company that you love using, by offering a link or special discount code. You earn a percentage of the sale for every sale the company gets from those who have used your link. Run these just like you would a normal ad campaign. Create audio that includes the affiliate link, do a host live read, and put links in your show notes. And you do have to do this. You have to disclose on your website that they are affiliate links. There are numerous, reputable affiliate networks that can help facilitate this process. They make it nice and easy to get started. https://www.rakuten.com/signUp.do?login=yes (Rakuten), https://www.cj.com/ (CJ Affiliate) and https://www.shareasale.com/newsignup.cfm (Share A Sale) are some great examples.  Premium Content This is a type of digital content that may be accessed for a fee, and is usually of higher quality or more desirable than free content. Creating premium content is a great way to make money by offering content – any kind of content – that your listeners can't get unless they pay for it. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/06/apple-podcasts-subscriptions-and-channels-are-now-available-worldwide/ (Apple Podcasts Subscriptions) and channels are a new way to monetize. When listeners purchase a subscription to a show, they automatically follow the show and the page is updated with a Subscriber Edition label so they know they have access to the premium experience. You, as the content creator, can set the price for subscription.  You'll have to share a percentage of your subscription price with Apple.  That percentage decreases over time. Patreon may be a better option. Content creators have more control of their subscriber contact information, compared to Apple. Patreon has a really simple way of helping content creators, by allowing different payment tiers access to different content. PDFs, transcripts, ebooks, photos, or even video. But, as with all premium content, you have to ask yourself: “Is it premium enough? Would I pay for this?”  Another way to offer premium content is to limit the amount of shows that you offer for free. Then, if your followers want anything past that, they have to pay a monthly fee. A number of podcast hosting platforms offer premium access to content. https://www.captivate.fm/signup/?ref=circle270media (CaptivateFM) allows a private podcast feed and, if you want to monetize, a way to collect and manage payments. Private podcast feeds are perfect for hosting premium content because they are designed to keep it secure and gated. A few popular options for payment are Patreon, Glow, Supercast or, if you use WordPress, MemberPress.  Products You can create t-shirts, tote bags, anything you like with your logo, art, sayings, and sell this to your audience.  https://www.teepublic.com/ (TeePublic) are very podcaster friendly! You could sell physical courses, ebooks or webinars if you have knowledge about a certain subject. Or https://gumroad.com/ (write a book) if you're an author. Gumroad makes it easy for you to sell digital products, memberships and more.  You'll need payment services like PayPal or Stripe so you can get paid.  Services Coaching and consulting are really common ways that podcasters monetize their shows. You could have group coaching, masterminding, monthly packages and VIP days that you offer to listeners. You will need a way to book your time in a digital calendar. https://www.booklikeaboss.com/?idev_id=531 (Book Like A Boss) is a great resource. As well as Calendly, Picktime, YouCanBook.me. Letting your potential clients have easy access to your calendar is key. Last, but not least, you'll need to decide on some structure for your offering. How are you going to offer what it is you're offering?...

Are you missing out by not charging your clients for everything you can? Running your own design business or freelancing as a graphic or web designer seems like such an easy gig. A client asks you to create something for them, and they pay you for what you design. Simple right? For thousands of graphic and web designers around the world, that’s exactly how they do it. A Client brings them a project. The designer designs the project. The Client pays for said project. And the cycle repeats. What if I told you many of these designers are leaving money on the table? How they could and should be charging much more to their clients than they currently are. I’m not talking about design rates. I’m not saying these designers are worth more than the rate they are charging. Although they probably are. No. What I’m getting at is there are many aspects of what you do as a designer that you could be charging your clients for. And yet, many designers don’t. And as such, those designers are missing out on money they could be earning. Are you one of them? Case study. Imagine a client hires you for a new project. To design a poster for an upcoming local festival. Many designers will figure out how much to quote for a poster design. They may base it on an hourly rate. Maybe offer a flat fee. Or perhaps base their price on the value they’re providing, regardless of what pricing strategy they use. The price they quote is based on designing the poster alone. And that’s wrong. You’ll notice most successful designers refer to what they work on as projects. They’re not working on a poster for a local festival. They’re working on a project for the local festival that involves designing a poster. You see, a design project consists of multiple tasks. And not all of those tasks involve actual designing. Let me break this down. A client calls you on the phone to see if you’re interested in designing a poster for their festival. You say yes and set up a time to meet their organizing committee to go over what is required of you. You meet with them to discuss the festival, who it’s for, where it’s happening, when it’s taking place and how long it’s lasting. You go over what the festival's brand and message entail, and of course, what sort of information they want on the poster. Once you’re satisfied, you go back home or to your office and prepare a quote. Maybe they have some follow-up questions that go back and forth before they agree on your price and you finally get to work on their project. Your design process may include researching similar festivals from other areas to see what sort of posters they did. It may include browsing stock image sites to find the perfect images to compliment the festival's theme as well as your design. It may include contacting a local printer to ask about different paper stocks or finishing options. It may include coordinating with the festival’s web designer, if that’s not you, to make sure the poster and website follow a consistent brand. Then, once you’ve designed the poster, you need to present it to the client. Perhaps you place your poster design on situation mockups to help the client visualize it in place. Then you email them a PDF, or maybe you present it to them in person. Once the client approves your poster design, you prepare the final print files and hand them over to your client to bring to the printer. Unless you are also brokering the printing for them, but for this example, let’s say you aren’t. Then you prepare the invoice, send it to the client, and take care of the payment and bookkeeping once it's received. Only then is the project over. Out of all of that, for how much of it did you charge the client? Did you charge them for the initial phone call? Did you charge them for the travel time to and from any in-person meetings? Did you charge them for the time those meetings lasted? Did you charge them for the time it took you to prepare the quote and answer any follow-up questions? Did you charge them for the research you did or the time you spent browsing stock image sites? What about the time you spent discussing the festival’s brand with their web designer or the time you spent discussing paper stock with the printer? How about the time it took to present the poster to the client? Or the time it took to prepare the mockups and final files for the printer? And what about the time you took to prepare the invoice and handle any payment you received? Did you charge them for any of that? Or did you only charge them for designing the poster? Most inexperienced or struggling designers probably did the latter. Charge for only the poster. But that's wrong. The poster design is only one small part of the overall project you were hired to do. A project that started when the client called you and finished the moment you received the final payment. Everything in between is billable. Your time is valuable. You shouldn’t be giving it away for free. Think like a lawyer. Have you ever received an invoice from a lawyer? Make fun of lawyers as you will, but designers can learn a thing or two from how a lawyer runs their business. Lawyers keep track of every phone call. Every sheet of paper they print out. Every email they send. And every minute a client spends with them. And they bill the client for all of it. Why? Because lawyers know every little bit of it has a cost or value associated with it. And since it was all done on behalf of a client, that client should be paying for that cost or value. I’m not telling you to charge for every piece of paper or every paperclip you use. But, you would be in your right if you wanted to. How I charge my clients. Let me explain how I charge my clients. In my case, the initial email or phone call from a client is free. Providing that call doesn’t last more than 15-20 minutes. 15-20 minutes should be enough time to propose their project and for me to ask some initial questions. If it goes on longer than 15-20 minutes, I’ll make a note of it and incorporate the extra time into my project cost. But normally, if it looks like the conversation will go long, I’ll ask them to schedule a time with me to discuss their project in greater detail. I charge my clients for any travel time as well as the time I spend with them. That time could be for presenting a proposal, conducting a discovery meeting, making a presentation, or whatever reason I'm with the client. Once I’m back in my office working, I keep track of the time I spend doing research for their project. That may include learning about the client and their industry or browsing stock image sites. I use a tool called Clockify to keep track of the time I spend on a project. Clockify makes it very easy to turn timers on and off, assign them to a project and keep track of how much time I spend working on it. So before I start any research or anything to do with the project, I turn on the timer. Just a side note here. Most of my projects these days are quoted using either project-based or value-based pricing. So I’m not billing by the hour. But I still like to keep track of how much time I spend on every project for my own benefit. That way, I get to learn how much time it takes me to do certain tasks. If a client calls me while I’m working on a different project, I’ll switch the timer to their project for the call duration. Again for my benefit. And I also know from experience how long it takes me to prepare and send out an invoice. All of this is taken into consideration when quoting on a project. Of course, most of this is speculation and guesswork. But it’s accounted for. How many trips will I have to make to the client’s office, and what is the average duration for these meetings? What’s the travel distance to the client's office? Will I need to coordinate this project with another designer, printer or other third parties? How much research do I anticipate having to do? Etc. All of this is worked into the quote. Because my time is valuable, and if it’s spent on behalf of the client. Then the client should be paying for it. If I only charged for the actual designs I create, my business would not be as successful. There are plenty of other aspects of what you do you could be charging for. Consulting I receive lots of inquiries from people wanting to “pick my brain” about design or branding. "Mark, I have an idea for a new mail campaign for my business. I want to get your opinion on it." Or "Mark, my wife is opening a new business, and I was wondering if you had any ideas of what she needs branding wise to get started?" You know the types of questions I’m talking about. Sure they may turn into paid work, but most of the time, they’re innocently looking for free advice. Once in a while is not a big deal. But when this starts happening regularly, it eats into your valuable time. The time you could be spending working on projects you are being paid for. It got so bad at one point that I implemented a consulting fee. Now, whenever someone calls or emails to ask for my advice. I tell them I would love to help, but I can’t right now. And then provide a link to a webpage where they can schedule a time with me. The page I direct them to is titled One-On-One Consultation, and it allows them to book a 1-hour time slot at the cost of $100. And you know what? 9 out of 10 times, they follow through and book a time with me. I used to get asked these questions and ended up spending my valuable time offering advice free of charge. Now I’m being paid for my knowledge. I’m an expert. That’s why they’re reaching out to me. So why shouldn’t I be paid for that expertise? And so should you. I use a service called Book-Like-A-Boss for booking. But there are many other options you could use to set up your own consulting schedule. Charging for add-ons. Another thing you should charge for is add-ons. Add-ons include WordPress plugins or perhaps stock images—basically, anything you need to purchase to complete the client's project. Every web designer that works with WordPress uses themes and plugins to enhance the sites they build. Many of these themes and plugins are free. But oftentimes, a premium plugin is required to get the job done. Premium plugins come at a cost. And in some cases, those costs should be passed on to the client. For example, I love Gravity Forms for creating custom forms on websites. But not every website needs a custom form. In most cases, the default form that comes with Divi, the page builder I use, is good enough. However, I have several clients who need something more than basic, and that’s where Gravity Forms comes in. Gravity Forms is a premium plugin. It costs $59/year for one site.  So there’s nothing wrong with me charging my clients $59/year for the use of that plugin. I’d just be passing on the cost to them. The same cost they would pay if they were designing their site themselves and purchased the plugin. However, I pay for an Elite license, which allows me to install Gravity Forms on unlimited websites. But why should I incur that expense for something that benefits my clients? If it were a single client, I would pass the cost on to them. So why not do the same thing with multiple clients? Every client that uses Gravity Forms pays $59/year for the use of the plugin. For the record, my website maintenance plan includes premium plugins. So if a client signs up for my maintenance plan, the cost of all premium plugins is included, which is another great selling feature for the maintenance plan. Stock Images. I mentioned Stock images above. There’s nothing wrong with charging your clients a small fee for any stock image you use on their project. Include them in your quote or itemize them as extra items on your invoice. Think of stock image sites as image wholesalers. Meaning it’s OK to mark up the costs of the images you use. Every year I stock up on DepositPhotos credits when they come on sale at AppSumo. The deal works out to $0.50 for each stock image I download. However, if the client bought the images themselves, without the benefit of AppSumo credits or a DepositPhotos subscription, they would pay between $5-$10 per image. So five stock images are used while designing a poster, why not charge the client $25-$50 for them? There's more you can charge for. The whole point I'm trying to get across is to help you realize there are things you do for your clients that you could be charging for. It’s nice to think these things are just the cost of doing business. And in most cases, they are. But why should that cost come out of your pocket when your client is the one benefiting from them? It’s OK to charge your client for all the extra things you do beyond the actual design you create for them. Don’t believe me? Try to think of the last down on his luck starving lawyer you’ve seen. Designing might be your passion. It is for me. But passion doesn’t pay the bills. If you want to run a successful design business, you need to treat it as a business. And that means charging your clients. What sort of things do you charge your clients for? Let me know by leaving a comment for this episode.

I'm glad to have Tara B back on the show. I met her in 2015 and she has been a partner in the Academy since then. She has her own courses and trainings. She knows a lot about booking and has always been scrappy and proactive. Since she has the same experience as everyone else this year, I know she will share a lot of insights when it comes to booking in 2020.Tara has an upcoming event called 3 Days to Book Like A Boss from September 29th, 2020. Being in these types of challenges is a great way to keep you accountable and keep you going on your booking. Go to femusician.com/tara and sign up for her free challenge.2020 has been crazy for musicians especially about booking. Tara previously had 10-12 gigs a month and due to the pandemic, she experienced 50% cancellations. How was she able to bring in income during the pandemic? First, she started calling people right away to offer virtual concerts. Second, she explored different ways of virtual events. She believes there are ways in the midst of hardship.Tara's Tips on BookingsBuild and maintain relationships with the people in venues. How we are connecting or approaching people in the venues is important. Make sure that you're in a relationship with places you have events on so that when you contact them in the future you can easily offer bookings (in person or virtual). She called venues and asked if there is a possibility of doing a virtual gig or even an in-person event.Have the right mindset. Mindset is also very important before we approach opportunities for bookings. An approach I learned from Beth Matthew is that before you make booking calls, sit down and sing a song to remind you how much you like it and put you in the mood. Also, when you get turned down or feel frustrated, make sure to vent out only when you're off the phone or email.Don't think of the person doing the booking with as your enemy. In reality, venues are struggling in this situation, too, so they're not the enemy. Try to think of how you can come together and find solutions. They're just people too who are trying to make a living for their family.Remind yourself how much value you can bring to people. Get out of that negative spiral. There is still a lot of preparation and energy you put into a virtual show so make sure to put the right pricing for yourself.How Bookings Changed in 2020New things opened up. Big names and even shows like The Voice are doing virtual now. Facebook Live, Instragram Live, YouTube, Pre-recorded Concerts on YT, Zoom meetings, Twitch, Sessions Live -- there are just so many choices now. Online events are now normalized. So many people are used to it now, even going to church is now done online.There are now so many ways to get tip jars online like Venmo, Paypal, Cash App, Zelle, etc. Allow people to give you gratitude to give you the gift of money to support you.Some venues are closing down due to the pandemic but some venues that previously didn't have bookings are now opening up. There are definitely people who are going to find solutions and who value music so don't assume that they do not want to work with you.Diversifying Income for TaraI have always been stressing the point of diversifying your income. How has Tara dealt with losing 50% of her income through cancellation of events during the onset of the pandemic? She did have other income streams such as teaching private lessons for piano and voice. She was even able to get more students. Airgigs and Fiverr among others. You do need to set up equipment for offerings you can do on these platforms. However, it is now much easier and cheaper to have a home studio set up as compared to before and there are free apps you can use too.Online courses also bring in income.

As professional podcast editors, we are also business owners. That means that it's our job to not only support our clients but also to manage our business and to plan for the future. In this episode of the Podcast Editors Mastermind, we talked about both the current health crisis due to COVID-19, as well as a way you might be able to reduce expenses by taking advantage of an Appsumo deal. Coronavirus and podcast editorsIt's no secret that we're in the middle of a global health crisis. And, while we see funny memes like "Podcasters: practicing social distancing since 2004," the reality is that it's affecting us as editors. We discuss questions like: What you might want to share with the clients you work for. The importance of marketing appropriately during this season. The importance of having a plan to support your clients if you get sick. How a health crisis can affect editors who also have in-person studios. In this episode, Tony Dec of https://podcastfellows.com (PodcastFellows.com) also chimed in with several insightful comments in the chat. **Disclaimer** We are podcast editors, not health or legal professionals. These are our opinions, shared for your consideration. Talk to your health or legal professional for specific guidance. Will Meetfox meet our needs?In addition to contingency planning, it's always a good idea to look for ways to control your expenses and many podcast editors find software and services to be some of the larger expenditures. Daniel recently took advantage of an https://rothmedia.audio/appsumo (Appsumo deal for Meetfox) (Daniel benefits from qualifying purchases) and Bryan wondered if it would be sufficient to replace his current combination of Book Like A Boss and Zoom.us, which is costing about $16 per month. Daniel was kind enough to give us a behind-the-scenes look into Meetfox and answer some questions that all of the Yetis had for him.  The conversation is good, but https://www.facebook.com/daniel.abendroth.10/videos/691983603510/ (the screen-share is better).

My Future Business Interview with RUBEN DUA #myfuturebusiness #dubb #rubendua Hi, and welcome to the show! On today's My Future Business Show I have the pleasure of talking with speaker, founder and CEO of popular video communications tool ‘DUBB' Prof. RUBEN DUA. As a very condensed synopsis, during the call Ruben and I explore his entrepreneurial journey including the genesis of this amazing one-stop-shop video creation tool. Ruben and I talk in-depth about business, mindset, and how he sees video fitting into a wide range of businesses, across various niches. We also explore ideas and concepts that all entrepreneurs should consider as they go about building their own amazing businesses. Video obviously playing a big part of that picture. So, What Is DUBB? Dubb is a video communication platform that lets you create and share trackable screen and camera videos to help you streamline your communication and grow your business. Dubb - Video Your Self. Now, I was fortunate to stumble across DUBB as part of a promotional deal that Ruben and his team were running about a year back now. From that time, DUBB has become an essential part of my business. As an example, almost every day I use DUBB to create short videos that communicate a message. It could be a thank you video, an invite to be my guest on the show, and I sometimes even use the multiple embed options to make my DUBB videos a permanent part of my sales pages. Not only have I found DUBB to be amazingly quick, it has become my go-to tool when I want to communicate on a human level. On that, DUBB has most certainly helped me make dozens of new connections, which in turn, has helped me grow my own business. For me, the best part about how DUBB works, is there are no downloads. I simply my Chrome browser, click record, and in minutes I have a video uploaded to their super-fast platform. This platform is beyond easy to use, and importantly, it does so much more than just capture your face-time videos. You can use it to do screen capture videos, with or without your face on the video. Into email marketing and automation? If so, you can take advantage of DUBB's in-built email and automation workflow system to keep in contact with your audience on autopilot. Want in-depth reporting on video interactions, then DUBB has a complete set of metrics that help you gain insight into how your videos are performing. Click rates, watch rates, reactions and more. Want to create landing pages? DUBB even has an in-built landing page builder which would normally be a product on its own. And the thing I love the most, is that you can fully customize the video page that opens when someone opens your video to view your video. Branding is everything! When customizing your video pages, not only can you change the way it looks, you have the ability to add multiple call to action buttons to any destination. Add to that, DUBB has native integrations with various third-party platforms including booking systems, including one that I use daily, which is Book Like A Boss. In closing, if you're serious about your business, and want to learn from a true industry leader, then this call is not to be missed. There is an abundance of valuable content on this call, and too many features and benefits to your business to talk about here.

Today I’m talking to Lee Jackson. Lee is a fellow web developer, speaker, entrepreneur, and the host of one of only a handful of podcasts I listen to regularly and definitely one of the best WordPress podcasts around, the Agency Trailblazer podcast. He’s also organising Agency Transformation Live, a UK conference for web agency owners focusing on helping you to transform your agency. Lee gives insight into how he’s used his Agency Trailblazer podcast to grow his business, build his network, and reach new clients across the globe. We talk about how you can grow your business by being it clear about who it is you serve and the problems you solve for them rather than trying to target ‘everyone’. Lee tells us the three secret weapons he uses to get so much done, the process he uses for hiring the right staff and how you can start creating valuable content right now and never be stuck staring at a blank screen again.

Sally-Jo O'Brien helps people be braver in whatever they want to be braver in. For entrepreneurs, it’s about being braver in their approach and attitude about their business. She also helps with career transitions. Sally Jo's friends call her "The Queen of Re-Invention." She’s had three big career and life shifts herself including her husband passing away in 2005. In launching her coaching business Sally-Jo had to retrain herself and learn to coach. During the launch of Sally Jo’s coaching business, she was still doing some things in the food industry and those two things intersected. She started getting a lot of referrals for coaching and decided to go into that full-time. LEVERAGE Sally Jo leverages her time through group coaching. She also leverages her time through Zoom. She uses it for coaching and for masterminds. Recently she led training for someone else’s mastermind through Zoom. VALUES During a career or business transition you need to reassess your values and figure out what’s important to you. Ask what’s important to me now? What do I care about now? Depending on the phase of life that you are in, what's important to you is changing. Constantly re-evaluate and determine what’s important, so that you can make good decisions. There’s also a need to develop new rituals. Some of the rituals that you had when you worked for someone don’t always work when you are working from home, or for yourself. ROUTINES AND RITUALS Create routines and rituals that will support you getting work done. Sally Jo says it helps to be around people that help you to move momentum forward. One another way is to check in with someone each day. Sally Jo knows of someone who texts a supporting friend and tells them three things that they are going to get done each day. Sally Jo had a coach that helped her transition from what she was doing as she was navigating a personal loss and she found it to be hugely valuable. This experience is what ultimately led her to be a coach too. DISCOVER YOUR VALUES To help discover your values think about a teacher or a coach that you loved and think about what it was about them that you admired. What did you like about them or what didn’t you like about them? Or think of a character in a book who is a hero of yours. What are the characteristics of that character in the book? What will help you to start to mine for values that will shape your decisions and your business. TV SHOW VALUES Still, another question to ask to help you discover your values is to ask: if you were to star in your own award-winning television show what would be the name of the show be and why would people tune in to the show? What value would people get out of it? CLIENT STORY Sally Jo’s had a client that wanted to get out there and meet potential clients but realized that she was hiding. Sally Jo helped her discover what was going on and that led to a breakthrough. We discuss "The Daring Way developed by Dr. Brune Brown. How shame comes into play in business and holds us back. You might be holding onto something that you think is wrong with you (shame)versus something that you did wrong. It’s an important distinction. “I made a mistake” versus “I am a mistake” (shame). Sally Jo’s INSPIRATIONAL RESOURCE Steven Pressfield "The War of Art" https://www.amazon.ca/War-Art-Steven-Pressfield-ebookand and "Turning Pro" https://www.amazon.ca/Turning-Pro-Steven-Pressfield-ebook/. about the gremlin of resistance which is always there when you are trying to make a transition or do something that it is really important to you.

Book Like A Boss for booking coaching sessions Sally Jo’s INSPIRING CAUSE The Centre for Hope and Safety in New Jersey. http://www.hopeandsafetynj.org/ Helps families who are affected by domestic violence in many ways such as giving them safe shelter and food while they re-create their lives.

(http://femusician.com/tarab) Advice for your artist booking contract: Send PDFs (or similar read-only format) Before you book: check with artists who perform at venue to make sure there are no issues Get deposits – explain why – if you lose the gig close to the date, you can’t always reschedule it right away Have a detailed invoice (name everything out so it’s clear) Itemize charges on invoice (food, travel, time, housing etc) Don’t be afraid to negotiate a venue’s contract Ask questions Clarify who check should be written to Address advertising: venue, artist or combination The advice in the podcast is only the tip of the iceberg.

In this episode I look at how filling a need is the best way to build a business. I specifically look at SaaS (Software as a Service) as the best type of business to launch today and why. I also go through the founding of Book Like A Boss while applying these principals.

Having recently completed a campaign through AppSumo we talk to the CEO and CoFounder of Book Like A Boss. From selling candy at school, through a difficult crowdfunded project, and now to successful bootstrapped online SaaS solution that is growing fast and evolving. Nachum shares the lessons, and the surprises they received along the way, as well as what possessed them to offer a lifetime deal through AppSumo. Takeaways Be yourself. Be the boss. You are the boss. Be in charge of your own destiny instead of leaving it up to other people.
