Inspiring Success

10/23/2024

When was the last time you did something that totally terrified you? Like really pushed you outside of your comfort zone? 🤔

Today was that day for me. Here's why ... 👇

I thought when I started doing my weekly live trainings inside my Small Business Strategies & Solutions for Women-Owned Businesses group in June 2023; that I couldn't match that level of nervousness.

In March I set an intention, a goal, to reach more women business owners. I honestly thought it was going to be thru growing my own group. And I was okay with that. Because it would be easy, comfortable.

Then, this summer I was given the opportunity to be a moderator in the Successful Women Entrepreneurs group. Starr, the woman leading this group, is an amazing mentor, guide, and coach who truly walks her truth and embodies her vision for other women. 🥰

Last week, she gave me the opportunity to do weekly live trainings inside her SWE group. I knew it would a big step. I would need to put on my big, big, big girl panties as they say. And truly step into my own passion, my vision. Simply, I needed to put up or shut up. Especially since I know where I want the Women's Business Resource Community to be in the next five years.

I didn't flinch. Ok, maybe I cried, just a little about being scared. But I said yes.

Today, was the day. I did it. I did the first live training for SWE.

You might wonder why today's training was so different than what I've been doing for the last 18 months. Why it literally blew up my comfort zone. 💣

Well, the SWE group has almost 160,000 members. 🤯

Yes, you read that right ... my live training today was for an audience of 160,000 entrepreneurs. That's a huge jump from my 2,300 member group. Can you say bye bye comfort zone and hello to new mountains to climb! 🏔

So, when I coach my clients to do it scared. To be imperfectly perfect. To push outside of what is comfortable. I truly mean it. Because today ... I did it scared. I did it imperfectly perfect. I was very uncomfortable.

And the best part ... I did it anyways. 🥳

Now, excuse me while I cry just a little out of relief and self-pride. And while I flop happily into bed. Because this huge step has completely, emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted me.

If you'd like to see what doing it scared looks like, you can catch the replay here. And if you're a member of SWE, then I'll see you next Wednesday at 2pm ET 🩵

What has my head spinning, well besides the 37C heat ... thinking I'll take a quick peak at the 'users' of the Women's Business Resource Community inside the Village platform.

I went in with the idea of double checking the 'Visither', 'Neighbher', and 'C-Suither' members are all running along smoothly ... and to my very big surprise ... there were over 610 'students' registered - meaning they took the time to enter their information to look at the business courses in the Library.

Wondering who are these 'students' I went down the rabbit hole - after deleting the obvious spam accounts, I was left with 597.

Then, I wanted to know where are they coming from, so I started keeping track of just the educational emails and this is the short list:
- UCLA
- University of Texas
- Chemeketa Community
- Ohio State
- University of Nevada, Reno
- University of Alaska
- University of New Mexico
- University of Michigan
- University of William & Mary
- Ohio State University
- Northern Arizona University
- Morningside University
- Stanford
- Indiana University
- University of Louisville
- Fresno State
- Auburn University
- Wharton, University of Pennsylvania
- Springfield College
- Liberty University
- University of Toronto
- Maricopa Community College

I share the list for those who are wondering just how important SEO really is for their websites ... I have done zero advertising but yet, 600 individuals have found the 7, yes I've only published 7 courses to date on GetBizSavvy.com. And they are not coming through the front door - aka the home page ... they are coming directly to the course pages directly.

This list also reminds me of 'who' I am creating courses for - it's not just women business owners looking to expand their skills and business knowledge anymore.

What did this discovery uncover? I hadn't even thought of people finding the courses directly - so these individuals have been 'missed' in my relationship nurturing journey. This is how taking the time to 'review' your internal business systems and processes regularly can provide unexpected business opportunities.

Ok, biz lesson over. Thanks for listening.
