I'm excited to be here. We're very excited to have you. Sage is a launch strategist to the online stars and she is a workless earn more mentor and we are very excited to hear more about working less, of course, but before we jump in, say I actually have a something that I know that my audience is very curious about because a lot, a lot of the people I deal with are women. And sometimes the question of the ego and this persona that we put out there and alongside imposter syndrome becomes a big thing. So I'm really interested in the fact that you, you actually changed your name to Sage Polaris, which is a fantastic name, but I would really like to know the story behind that.Sage: (01:57) Sure. Yeah. So I'm Sage to the artist formerly known as Sarah Grear. And the reason I decided to change my name is I was really stepping into a new identity in my business. I'm eight years deep into my business now and around like the six-year Mark, I realized that I no longer wanted to hide behind my client's success. I was doing a lot of client-based projects. They were having wonderful success with their launches. It was so beautiful to see, but I knew I was kind of hiding behind that and not really stepping out into my own identity. And so I decided to switch my name because I felt like it would signify something from myself like, okay, I'm not hiding anymore. I'm going to go into the spotlight, and since then I have been doing more, of my own launches for myself.Sage: (02:49)Personal/Individual Branding:I've also created co-created mastermind with my business partner, Tarzan Kay, which was a hundred per cent event that we ran in Niagara falls and then turn that into a mastermind. So all of these things were a way for me to kind of signal to myself and to everyone else that I was taking on a new identity for myself...

My guest for episode 12 of the Women of Woo Show is Sage Polaris. Sage, formerly Sarah Grear, is a copywriter extraordinaire who helps businesses sell more of what they offer through the power of words on their websites. Learn the story behind Sage's name change as she shares her thoughts around defining her identity with regards to her creativity. (Pay attention or you'll miss a little known fact about how my name is not what it seems!) Sage gets vulnerable and reveals how she struggled to replicate the wins she easily achieved for clients in her own business. It was from this frustration her new identity was conceived. A ‘rebirth' of sorts that allowed her to feel seen in an entirely different fashion. Listen as we chat about business as creative art (and why hiding behind old paradigms isn't the answer), how a misunderstanding once resulted in 1.25 million dollars in sales, and the power of personal relationships over big! numbers! I adore Sage because she's an amazing example of balance between masculine and feminine energies. She brings this perspective to episode 12 and reminds us all we can define ourselves as WOO and still pay close attention to the hard data behind our ventures. These two combined how spiritual entrepreneurs uplift themselves in business.

Today I am speaking to Sage Polaris about how owning your weirdness can positively impact your worth. Sage Polaris AKA the artist formerly known as Sarah Grear has written high converting copy for more than 350 clients earning them millions of dollars. She helps personal brands and service providers sell more of their service or offer with the words on their website. She basically makes money for the “internet famous” people we all look up to. In this episode, you will discover how owning your weirdness and be who you really are can completely transform your life. Highlights you won’t want to miss: How I met Sage and why I hired her to help me nail down my messaging. How Sage went from writing copy to coaching to having live events and masterminds. Why it’s so important to understand the gap between where you are right now and where you want to go. Why Sage decided to change her name. Why owning your weirdness can help you to reclaim your identity. Why if you want to be in business for the long haul, you need to remember to keep your sense of humor and be playful. The danger of feeling attached to your clients’ results and how it can affect your self-worth. How to start using failure to ask different questions. Why using the same strategies and systems that others use does not mean you will get the same results. Why it’s important to set revenue goals without attachment. Why magic happens when you lean into your strengths. Why, when making an offer it’s so important to qualify your audience to make sure they are a good fit. Why copy is not the solution if you don’t have your offer and audience dialed in. Why you need to raise your price to do your best work and stop feeling like your talents are being wasted. The importance of understanding that pain is not a bad thing; on the contrary, it’s your body telling what it needs. Why there is a price to pay for the transformation that you wish to achieve. Why you are doing people a disservice when you don’t serve them at your highest level. Why it’s key to have a long-term vision to help guide you. Shareable Quotes: "I do feel wise at times. And at times I feel like the more I learn, the less I know. And I like being in that space too.” - Sage Polaris “I feel like step one of my evolution in my business prior to changing my name was to stop taking things so seriously. This doesn't have to be serious. This should be fun. And if you want to be in it for the long haul, you'd better have some fun.” - Sage Polaris “A lightworker is somebody who is here to shine their light so that other people can shine their light too.” - Emily Aarons “I feel like I'm doing a disservice if I'm not serving at my highest level every day.” - Emily Aarons Resources to Take You Deeper: Free Resource: Triple Your Open Rate: The Email Template (AKA how to breathe life into a dying email list) Must Buy: Double Double Book by Cameron Herald Sage's Website Find Sage on Facebook Find Sage's Creative Custom Writing on Facebook

That's what Kira and I do every week at The Copywriter Club Podcast. Kira: You're invited to join the Club for Episode 105 as we chat for a second time with freelance copywriter, Sarah Grier, about what it takes to grow a copywriting business past six figures, her recipe for launch success, why she books two projects at a time and spreads payments over six months, and how to add consulting to the services you offer your clients. Hey, Sarah. Welcome back. Rob: Hey Sarah. Sarah: Hey, thanks for having me. It's so fun. I can't believe you guys have done 106 interviews. And you're still standing. Rob: Barely. We're actually ...

So, yeah, check that out. Sarah: I know. I became the take four months off in your business woman since then. But, yeah, I've done that. I took four months off last year, intermittently. If you listen to the old episode you can hear how. So, I'll leave that as a tease. Since then, in 2017, I worked on 52 projects for 19 clients, and still managed to take all that time off. Kira: What? Rob: Wow. Sarah: I know. Rob: It's crazy. Kira: That is crazy. Sarah: When you have systems in place it makes a huge difference. But also I had this astronomical launch that stood out from all the other ones. We did seven figures in a single launch. Sarah: And it was the first time we had worked together. Basically, that changed the way that I was showing up with my clients, because I realized when my clients grow to that level or grow that quickly, they don't always need a copywriter at that point because they usually hire an in-house production team. And so I started doing small percentage of consultant work alongside the copywriting work t...

Throughout my entrepreneurial journey, I have met many smart, savvy, and inspirational online entrepreneurs. These powerhouse online business owners have truly motivated me and made a significant impact on my life and journey in entrepreneurship. To celebrate our 200th episode of The Sigrun Show - as well as achieving 100,000 organic downloads without paid promotion, I reached out to some of my favorite guests to share their best business advice for new online entrepreneurs. I asked them to think back to where their life and business was five years ago to gain inspiration and ideas about what advice they would give to a new online business owner. Here's what they said… Step Outside Your Comfort Zone Kate Erickson, the host of Kate's Take podcast and Implementer at Entrepreneurs On Fire, was the first guest on the show. After seeing her keynote talk at Social Media Marketing World in 2017 - where she shared how she started her podcast with simple equipment and reading her blog posts - Her speech created a lightbulb moment for me and I was inspired to finally take the leap and start The Sigrun Show. For our 200th episode celebration, Kate shares how stepping out of her comfort zone has been the key to creating the success she desired to advance her career and business. Kate Erickson's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “Step outside of your comfort zone.” Surround Yourself with the Right People Mark Schaefer was also a significant inspiration in my podcasting journey after I saw him speak at Social Media Marketing World in 2017. His speech inspired another lightbulb moment… to launch my podcast with 100 episodes in 100 days and, of course, I wanted him to be one of the amazing guests on my show! In episode 5, he talked about how to become known in your industry in as little as 30 months or less and covered some of the topics that he wrote about in his book Known, which launched last year. In this episode, he shares an important piece of advice on how to build a successful business that he learned from one of his past mentors. Mark Schaefer's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “Surround yourself with the right people. Have the courage to rely on people other than yourself and be smart enough to know the possibilities to ask the right questions.” Don't Wait! Take Inspired Action. My third guest on the show was Elena Herdieckerhoff in episode 7 and she discussed how she achieved an unbelievable 1 million views on her TEDx Talk. Elena is a dear friend of mine as well as a mastermind buddy in a mastermind group I've been a part of for over four years. She has successfully built and sold a skincare brand, and is currently the founder of Red Dot Stage. In this episode, she shares how she learned that believing that you are good enough and taking inspired action is the key to building a successful, profitable, and sellable online business. Elena Herdieckerhoff's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “If you know there is one big game-changer that will put your business on the map, decide today that you are good enough and are able to make it happen. Don't wait for the ideal time or opportunity. Simply make your game changer your priority. Take inspired action and you will make it happen sooner than you think.” Keep Learning & Implementing In episode 9, I interviewed Natalie Sisson, who was the fourth powerhouse entrepreneur on The Sigrun Show, where she explained why after seven years of running her business, the Suitcase Entrepreneur, she decided to take a sabbatical. Natalie was one of the first online entrepreneurs I started following five or six years ago and was a huge inspiration to me while starting my online business. Since her sabbatical, she has rebranded her business under her own name and has a book coming out soon! Natalie Sisson's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “Keep learning. Keep implementing and continue to be a leading learner.” Stop Trying to Be Perfect While I was preparing to launch my show, I reached out to my community and asked who they would like to hear as a guest on the show. Zach Spuckler was one of the first - and most requested - names that people asked for. Zach is best known as the creator of the 5-Day Challenge course and the host of the Heart, Soul, Hustle podcast. On episode 15, he shared how to use a challenge to sell your high-end program. He is a wizard when it comes to implementing launch and funnel strategies and creative marketing ideas, and he continues to inspire me and others to try new things and keep innovating. Zach Spuckler's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “Stop trying to be perfect. Stop thinking that the first draft is going to be everything and more. Get something out there! If you don't put an offer out into the world, people can't pay you and if you don't get paid - you can't run a business.” Write an Exit Strategy Today! My dear friend and mastermind buddy, Shazzie, has successfully built a multiple 7-figure business that she later sold. Since one of my 2017 business goals was to grow my business to become a 7-figure business, I decided to feature her on my podcast. On episode 19, she shares how she turned her passion and business idea into a million-dollar company and today, she explains why it's important for online entrepreneurs to create an exit strategy sooner rather than later. Shazzie's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “Write an exit strategy today. Now. It's a magical spell that creates the brightest possible future for yourself and your loved ones.” Attention is the Online Currency Jill Stanton and her husband Josh are the founders and creators of the Screw the Nine To Five Facebook community and membership site where they help unsatisfied and aspiring entrepreneurs build the life and business of their dreams through actionable strategies, simple how-to, resources and tools, and so much more. Jill previously joined me on episode 29 where she shared the secret behind gaining raving fans and high retention rates. Her top business advice is for entrepreneurs to truly understand why building your reputation and putting yourself out there is critical to building a successful online business. Jill Stanton's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “Attention is the currency online. When you have it - everything becomes so much easier. So put yourself out there. Spread the word!” Look at Your Big Picture Goals Sarah Grear is a phenomenal copywriter, copy conversion expert, and the creative director and owner of Creative Custom Writing, Inc. I have been friends with Sarah for several years so when I was preparing to launch SOMBA for the first time, it was a no-brainer that I should work with her to create a compelling sales page. After I launched The Sigrun Show, I reached out to Sarah to be a guest on the show to share her insight and tips for online entrepreneurs on how to grow their businesses from six to seven figures by honing their copywriting skills. To celebrate our 200th episode, Sarah explains why new entrepreneurs need to look at the bigger picture goals when creating their online packages and setting their prices instead of simply settling with lower priced projects. Sarah Grear's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “Look at the big picture goals when you make decisions about the packaging or what you are offering to your clients so you can make those decisions to grow in your business.” Success Lies in Consistency Over the last 200 episodes, I have rarely featured any single guest more than once - Lorraine Dallmeier has officially broken a new record for The Sigrun Show. Including today's episode, she has been featured as a guest expert in three episodes. Lorraine first joined me on the show in episode 81, where she discussed how she bought an online business four years ago and grew it from earning low five figures to over seven figures per year. In episode 180, she shared the 5 types of copycats and a 10 step action plan on how to deal with copycats. In this episode, she shares why the key to building a highly successful and profitable business lies in taking consistent action each day. Lorraine Dallmeier's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “The key to success lies in consistency. Don't ever stop what you are doing; just keep going every day because you'll constantly build up your business further.” Start Small and Scale Up When I attended Chris Ducker's Youpreneur Summit in London last November, I had the opportunity to see Janet Murray speak on the power of PR. Janet is the host of The Janet Murray Show and the founder of Soulful PR. I had the pleasure of interviewing her in episode 117 where she shares how entrepreneurs can get free PR for their online business as well as how they can use stories unrelated to their business to promote their brand. So, it's not a surprise that her key piece of advice for online entrepreneurs is related to building and growing your audience. Janet Murray's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “Start small and scale up as you're building your audience.” Focus Your Message April Perry is the owner of LearnDoBecome.com where she teaches thousands of entrepreneurs, companies, and individuals around the world the system she created to overcome the feeling of being overwhelmed. In episode 150, she shared how she used to feel overwhelmed and how she overcame that feeling by creating systems, routines, and building what she calls a “command center.” As many entrepreneurs often feel overwhelmed in running their businesses while taking care of their families, that episode has been one of the most popular episodes of the show. Now, she shares how she learned the power behind having a focused message in your sales copy and marketing strategy can significantly impact the growth of your business. April Perry's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “When you have a focused message and a clear way people can hire you to solve a pain point, you can grow a business and really help a lot of people in the process.” Be Open to New Opportunities Tiffany Lee Bymaster had a fascinating career as a makeup artist and stylist, working with some amazing actors on the set of television shows and movies. She was also a talented lifestyle blogger and today is widely recognized as Coach Glitter. Tiffany joined me in episode 172 where she talked about how entrepreneurs should become comfortable with taking imperfect actions to achieve their business goals. She is one of the best affiliate marketers I know and is a true inspiration for thousands of online entrepreneurs. In this episode, she shares why it's important for entrepreneurs to be open to new possibilities and opportunities that life presents to us on a daily basis. Tiffany Lee Bymaster's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “Be open to the possibilities of things. You can't even predict where your life may take you next. Keep your mind, heart, and soul open to all of the opportunities that life will present to you on a daily basis.” Be a Leading Learner When I started my journey into building an online business, Nathalie Lussier was one of the first online entrepreneurs I noticed and began following, so when I met up with her at Social Media Marketing World 2018 - I asked her to be a guest on my show to share her story. Nathalie is the creator of the 30-Day List Building Challenge. In episode 194, she shares how this well-known challenge has impacted her business and how creating the ultimate challenge can help you build your online business. When I reached out to her to participate in our 200th episode celebration and share one piece of key advice she would tell a new entrepreneur - she did not hesitate, nor disappoint. Nathalie Lussier's Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: “Keep learning. Keep implementing and continue to be a leading learner.” Let's Celebrate!

Sarah’s clients include course creators and entrepreneurs about to launch their products. As usual, Rob and Kira ask questions to pull back the curtain and reveal the tactics and ideas that have made her successful, including: • The two-year process she used to identify her niche • How she slowly priced herself out of doing websites (and what she charges now) • Why she does “live edits” with her clients • How she creates a copywriting experience for the people she works with • What she did to land a speaking gig at Rick Mulready’s event and Social Media Week • How she used networking to get 80% of her clients when she was just getting started • Why she created a $1000 course and lowered the price since it launched • How she takes four months off a year (and doesn't lose clients or revenue).

This isn’t a copywriting clinic. Instead, we’ll work with you to improve the business side of your business, things like your onboarding process, choosing a niche, building a brand, and being a smarter business owner. This isn’t a video course. It’s hands-on training with personal access to both Kira and me. To learn more, go to thecopywriteraccelerator.com. Now, on to the show. Kira: What if you could hang out with seriously talented copywriters and other experts, ask them about their successes and failures, their work processes, and their habits, then steal an idea or two to inspire your own work? That’s what Rob and I do every week at The Copywriter Club Podcast. Rob: You’re invited to join the club for episode 32 as we chat with freelance copywriter, Sarah Grear about writing for healers and creative souls, how she landed a speaking gig at Social Media Week, working with her coach and a team, and taking branding vacations.

Kira: I think Sarah, a great place to start, and this what I’m actually really curious to know, where did you come from? What were you doing before you started your copywriting venture? Sarah: Cool. Yeah. I totally want to share my story with you. Before I do that, I just really quickly want to acknowledge both you and Rob for putting together this amazing podcasting group. I just want to say when I first started getting my copywriting business going, I actually, the number one referral source for my business was other copywriters, and I don’t think that gets talked about enough, so part of the way I build my business is what you guys are creating, so I’m just so grateful for communities like this, and I just wanted to say thank you for that. Rob: Thank you. That’s nice of you to say. Sarah: Yeah. Totally. The way I got started in copywriting and where I came from, I actually went to art school.
