Two ways to face business mistakes and ‘failure’

In an email to my 8000-strong subscribers last week, I shared a new podcast ep where I discussed two paths you can choose when facing ‘failure’ in your business.

Since we pretty much can’t run away from mistakes as business owners, we can learn to handle them in a healthy way instead of letting ourselves go through the downward spiral of low self-worth and depressed-like feelings.

There are many ways we can face ‘failure’, but I am sharing two paths today.

Path 1:

If you have a ‘fighter’ personality, you may like Path 1 : which is to fight the failure aggressively and turn it into a success.

You will take massive action such as hiring new people, creating new funnels, testing new products - sometimes all at once.

Path 2:

If you are a peace-loving business owner, you may lean into Path 2 : which involves accepting failure as part of the business journey.

This also means: you are in no  rush to ‘fix’ the failure and you are at peace with different phases of your business. You will ‘go with the flow’ and allow your intuition to lead the way.

So… are you more likely to choose Path 1 or Path 2?

Personally, I choose Path 2 because I value mental peace and inner peace.

If you value achievements and speed, you may prefer Path 1.

One path is not better than the other.

I would like to assure you that both paths are valid and helpful to manage business mistakes and failure in a healthier way.

Do you have your own preferred way of handling ‘failure’ in business?

If I were to create more videos and podcast episodes surrouding the mindset aspect of running a business, what topics would you like me to discuss?

Free ‘Make Your Thoughts Count’ Instagram caption for coaches

Apparently, we have 6,200 thoughts everyday.😄

If you are a positive thinker, this is great news because it means that most of your thoughts are encouraging in nature.

But if you are conditioned to always lean on less-than-negative thought patterns, your thoughts can hold you back more than you think! 🤐

In this NEW lead generation pack for coaches, I have written an Instagram caption abt making your thoughts count - which you can share with your audience and make yourself be seen as an authority as a coach 🙂

This lead gen pack will help you grow your list: it has IG captions, IG reel scripts, IG images, a lead magnet, an email nurture campaign done-for-you.

For your convenience, you can copy and paste the Instagram caption below, tweak it to suit your needs and post it on your IG:

You have 6,200 thoughts everyday. Make them count like this.

We know that our self-talk shapes our days, our months and eventually, our years. 

I’ll share my simple routine which you can follow to ensure that your thoughts lean on the positive on most days.

Firstly, I get into alignment before I carry out my tasks for the day. 

This means, I am intentional about putting myself in a good state before I start my day. 

This is what it looks like:

• Listening to my favourite uplifting podcast first thing in the morning.

• Working out to get endorphins running through my body as a natural mood boost

• … any activity which will put me in a good mental and emotional state that day before doing any work or task

When you are intentional about starting your days right, your days will unfold in a more pleasant way.

Do you have your own ‘alignment’ routine? Like this post if you do!

You can comment ‘positive’ below and I will send a mini workbook to you to get you started on your positive self-talk journey.

Emotional intelligence coaching tool : Free ‘Train your brain to think positive’ coaching mini activity

Transcript

Hi Coaches! Let’s talk about how you can grow your email list without creating a lead magnet all by yourself from scratch.

I have helped thousands of coaches launch their own lead magnets and products.

And today, I’m going to share my free lead magnet - an emotional intelligence coaching tool - which you can use to grow your list.

The free lead magnet I have is called ‘Train your mind to think positive’ Mini-activity. You can download it for free below.

This emotional intelligence coaching tool is 8 pages in length including the cover page and back page.

And the objective is to give your clients a quick mindset transformation from negative to positive.

Giving quick wins is the point for any lead magnet.

I’ve included 3 common challenging scenarios to this 8-page emotional intelligence coaching tool.

Your clients are encouraged to reflect and train their minds to look for the positive lining in all 3 scenarios.

If this is helpful for your business, you can download the 8-page free lead magnet below.

If this free lead magnet helps your business and if it feels aligned to you, you are free to send me a tip of any amount you want.

This will encourage me to create more free coaching tools for your business, using my counselling experience. 🤍

Also, while most coaches can grow their list with my free lead magnets, you can also go one step further and check out my Emotional Intelligence done-for-you workshop which you can record and sell to your audience to make income more passively.

Creating a workshop is time-consuming but once it’s done, you can sell it over and over again on evergreen on your website.

If you want to launch and sell your own emotional intelligence workshop ASAP, you can get this done-for-you workshop and you are ready to go.

Meanwhile, blessings and take care.

Four ways to grow your list as a coach

“I just hope that my old Pinterest pins will get new email subscribers for me,” I pray whenever I’m too busy to create new lead magnets to get new subscribers.

Growing your email list is doubly hard if you are too busy to dedicate time to do it .

When you are busy coaching, creating courses, creating new workshops and juggling life - getting fresh new leads is likely to be pushed to the bottom of our to-do list. 

When this happens, we usually just pray that our past pins, blog posts or videos will attract new people .

Actually, you can also grow your list by... 

1. Doing freebie swaps with other coaches

This is a good, low-lift strategy.

You just have to ensure that the other coach is as invested in this as you are. Or you may have to wait months before this freebie swap happens. :)

2. Participating in bundles or summits (free or paid)

Another good strategy which everyone is doing at the moment. You have to adhere to the rules and regulations of each bundle though.

And of course, be aware of the various deadlines. Some will require you to pay first before participating whereas some are free to participate.

3. Being a guest in someone else’s podcast episodes

This is a great way to leverage on each other's audience. Many coaches do this. I myself have discovered many other business / personal growth coaches through this method.

4. Offering to run a quick-win workshop in someone else’s membership

This is also a great way to get recognised as an expert and grow your email list.

The only issue with collaborating is, it takes time to communicate back and forth.

And you still need to create a new lead magnet and email sequence every now and then to keep your offers fresh.

If you want to quickly get a new lead magnet out and attract more email subscribers, you can get my well-researched done for you lead generation pack.

This done-for-you lead generation pack has

• A well-researched lead magnet to attract people to sign up for your list

• 8 ready-done emails to nurture and sell your offer (your email marketing done for a month)

• Elegant Instagram images to match the captions

• Instagram reel scripts so you can create meaningful reels in a snap

You can attract fresh leads whilst working in tandem with collaborating with other coaches to grow your list.

With this lead-generation pack, you can get your lead generation up and going ASAP

Phew, this was a lengthy post to write.

What’s the quickest way for YOU to grow your list? :)
