Podcast appearances and mentions of shawn fink

Where you focus your visibility goals depends on the stage your business is at, what your priorities are, and where your target audience happens to be. Although our focus, both on the podcast and at the Podwize Group, is on pitching clients for visibility through podcast guest appearances, I've always been clear that the basics of pitching are the same, no matter the opportunity. Today's conversation with Shawn Fink touches on an opportunity I know many of us would LOVE to have: a paid keynote speaking opportunity. Shawn is a business design strategist who helps female entrepreneurs and creators cultivate brand demand. Tune in to hear how Shawn was able to connect with a warm contact at her target organization and provide clarity around her topic and its potential impact. I hope you'll be able to use some of that advice in your own pitches! Topics covered include: A little about Shawn's background and the concept of the Brave Yes Mindset Shawn's first attempt at pitching to the organizers of this particular group How a little research helped her to make a second pitch How the presentation went, the feedback Shawn received, and the unexpected opportunities that came from it Why taking risks can level up your business Full show notes and resources: https://thepodwizegroup.com/paid-keynote-presentation

“There's a gap between what I know they need and what they think they need.” As a service-based business, you probably recognize this problem.  For instance, you know your clients mostly need to build their confidence. They need to jump in and take action.  But when they come to you, they say, “I don't have the right technology.” Or “I need to learn copywriting.” That's the topic of this episode, where I interview Shawn Fink.  Shawn has a unique positioning strategy. She focuses on coaching her clients to find the courage and clarity to make significant life changes. Shawn's business explains exactly why we need to respond to the client's backstory. Clients rarely know just what they need or even what they want. The coaching process begins with the backstory but then morphs in surprising directions. Clients rarely arrive with the statement, “I know what I want and how to get there. I need the courage to move forward.”  Shawn's marketing has to integrate her unique offer with the client's backstory.  We first learn a little about Shawn's coaching goals and the beliefs that underlie her work with clients. Next, we take a closer look at the client's backstory. We talk about why you need to separate the client's perspective from the offer when you plan your marketing. Some highlights:  6:04 – Clients face a choice when the next step seems scary: uplevel or pivot.  11:34 – Begin a discussion of the client's backstory. 18:50 – From backstory to marketing story 21:40 – Dealing with the different backstories: each is unique but you can find a common thread that drives your marketing. 27:16 -  Generic tips on "being brave"  to leave with our listeners 29:12 – Shawn rejects the common advice to feel the fear and do it anyway. It's BS, she says...and here's what to do instead.  34:94 - Don't miss the thoughts Shawn wants to leave with out listeners.

On this episode, I'm joined by fellow business strategist and courage coach, Shawn Fink, for a wide-ranging and empathetic conversation about the ****math you need to take control of your creative business. Shawn explains the importance of releasing your fears around business math, and having the courage to achieve your revenue goals. And I reveal how simple math can help you diagnose and close an income gap, design your business, and set yourself up for success. We know business math can be scary, especially for creatives, but we've got you covered. More from the episode What's your “enough” number, and why is knowing it essential to building sustainable creative business? How does scarcity contribute to cyclical burnout, and what can you do instead? Shawn breaks down her five keys to being courageous, and shares a weekly ritual you can use to establish agency over your numbers and finances. How understanding the value of what you do, and finding your “zone of genius”, can help you meet your income goals. We answer questions from the audience on budgeting, filing your taxes as a creative business owner, and inexpensive marketing tactics to build your audience.

All this month, we've been examining the relationships in our businesses and how we make them stronger. We looked at our relationship with our customers, our relationships to our team members, and our relationships to our community and internet neighbors. We even looked at our relationships to ourselves and our businesses. This week, we're going to step back and take a look at the patterns that often make nurturing our relationships difficult. A couple of these patterns are overt--and a couple are more stealthy. As you listen, I encourage you to pay less attention to the specific patterns and stories we're diving into today and pay more attention to your own curiosity at how your own relationship patterns are at play in your business. You may or may not see these exact patterns and stories as your own--but I know that your own patterns are influencing YOUR story. You're going to hear from 4 different business owners today and I'll help you unpack the very common patterns that I see at play in each story. My goal isn't to pathologize or armchair diagnose. I just want to help you hear what I hear in these stories and celebrate the ways these business owners have overcome their patterns made really great choices for them and their businesses! Today, you'll hear from coach Carla Reeves, real estate broker Page Huyette, coach & podcaster Shawn Fink, and attorney-turned-community-builder Ali Zucker.

Today's episode of Mum-to-Mum Monday is all about putting the sparkle back into your marriage. When you first met your partner, life was so much fun. So carefree. So spontaneous. You could jump in the car and catch a movie at a moment's notice. You could go out for dinner on a whim. You could stay up late, drink too much wine and not have to worry about getting up early in the morning. You love your husband, but since your kids arrived and life got busy, your marriage isn't as much fun as it used to be. That's why I invited SuperMum Shawn Fink onto my show. Shawn is mum to 10 year old twin girls, a family wellness coach for mothers around the world, the author of ‘The Playful Family' and ‘The Abundant Mama's guide to Savoring Slow' and the founder of The Abundant Mother Project which inspires mothers to find their happy place so they can raise happy, thriving children in a peaceful home environment. From her own personal experinece, Shawn realises how hard it is to maintain a marriage while raising kids and keeping a home running day after day. You can feel isolated and alone because between all the to-dos and deadlines and the children's needs and phases there really isn't much time left at the end of each day for anything, let alone your relationship. But Shawn teaches us that with a change in our mindset, a shift in our interpersonal habits and by looking at our communication we can gain a deeper understanding of each other and have a marriage that thrives. A happy marriage filled with joy, fun, connection and teamwork. You can find the full write up from this episode including the Show Notes at www.Lisa-York.com/009 Go Conquer Motherhood!
