Have you ever struggled to figure out where to focus your efforts, especially when you are short on time?
In this strategy session I’m joined by Kristen Joy, life coach for ministry wives, who wanted help figuring out where to put her energy and her focus in her business, particularly with regards to marketing.
As a homeschooling mom of 6 who also holds part time employment, she was feeling all over the place. We talked about a plan to move her forward and help her streamline her focus, so she can accomplish her mission of helping women learn to cultivate whole person health and serve with joy.
Deciding Where to Focus Your Marketing Energy:
- How financial needs and goals can help define focus
- Kristen’s current offerings, including 1:1 coaching, challenge, and a course in the works
- Where she is stuck in her business
- What her ideal life and business schedule would look like
- Trying to scale too many things at the same time
- The two pieces to consider when deciding how she should move forward
- Financial need: does she want to replace her part-time employment? How quickly?
- What she really wants: acknowledging her teacher’s heart and what she really wants to do.
- My recommendations for how to streamline her marketing energy and time
- Focus on building her email list
- Choose one social platform to focus on, plus Pinterest
- Consider a pricing structure that reflect a higher value for 1:1 coaching
- Using an evergreen opt-in
- Practice using schedule blocks to be more effective
