Plan Your Income Streams & Crush Your Financial Goals for 2018 – Workshop Replay

Have you ever been so relieved that you instantly felt your shoulders fall, your whole body lighten and a little glow appear around you?

Yes?

Well thank you because you have just confirmed to me that it happens to all of us.  We get wound up and stressed about things that we should have done, that we have been meaning to do, and we hold onto that in our taken for granted bodies without even realising it sometimes.

So what happened on my online workshop last night, was lots of relaxed shoulders and easy breathing as we created a path and concrete actions for more income to be created in your world for 2018.  (We sorted big dreams, created a step by step roadmap to your income goals, and I shared how to implement a new income stream within the next 24 hours!)

Also I unveiled a one of the most useful 1:1 services I have offered this year!

Check out the replay below and hurry up because this train will be leaving the station in just 36 hours!

This Choo-Choo train also takes with you the opportunity to work 1:1 with me AND have me create your bespoke income roadmap, which really will leave you floating on air for 2018!

Here’s your actions!

  1. Watch the workshop below!

 

2) And please then raise your hand if:

  • You want to take an anxious peak at your numbers in your business but it makes you feel vulnerable and embarrassed because you just don’t know where to start.

YES!

  • You’d rather stab yourself in the eye than deal with a spreadsheet….

YES!

  • Would like to have a highly effective bespoke step by step plan done for you so that you can be secure in knowing exactly where you will be generating your income from in 2018,  in more ways than you do currently, without adding crazily to your workload?

YES!

Then the Bespoke Smash Your Income Streams Roadmap Session is for you.

There is no other done for you service out that that has my unique blend of practical and mindset support that will get you from worrying about where you are to confident and creating for 2018.

I’ve created this 1:1 session and bespoke roadmap document (done for you) with you in the mind….  The service provider, the holistic practitioner, the consultant, the coach, the break free from the 9-5’er who is:

  1. Sick and tired of earning the same old money doing the same old thing.
  2. Wants to break free from the terror of rollercoaster income
  3. Is just done with exchanging their time for money
  4. Wants to live with the feeling that they are on the right path with the satisfying ping of money coming into their bank account and being rewarded for the gifts that they offer.

So if you are done trying to do this all yourself, or cobbling together tactics from 5 million different places then here is my very decent proposition….

Here’s how to know you are going to have multiple income streams in place for 2018 and have income as smooth as Sean Connery’s Scottish drawl.

Find out more here and book your Bespoke Smash Your Income Streams for 2018 1:1 session today.

Six things I learnt about money from having a baby – that you can use too.

Want a money mindset just like this baby?? Read on!

I just firstly want to start out by saying sorry.  Sorry for my radio silence over the summer.  You see I have been having my hands full with the new addition to the Domanska clan! The Little Lady is just coming up for three months and you’ll be glad to hear that my brain has switched back on to matters other than baby poo!

Abstract times

Before Baby (BB) I remember saying I had no idea what life might be life After Baby.  Despite my humongous belly it seemed very abstract that I was having a baby at all…. People said to me “get your sleep in now” and “life changes forever” and I was left wondering if it was just some over dramatisation or if it were all true!

Not being one to sit about,  I continued coaching until a week before I was due, and was found at yoga and swimming at 12 days over (yep – little one did not want to budge!)….And here we are almost 3 months on enjoying life with our little girl.

Patiently waiting………

Crazy Truths

So what has this crazy but precious time taught me about money and mindset that you can use whether you are expecting or not!

  • Decisions around money are easier when you love your work – I love my work and will be happy to go back to it. A lot of women I know stick it out in jobs they hate just to get the maternity pay, not realising that actually you can get state maternity if you work for yourself (different rules for sole traders v limited companies).  Find out what it is that makes you tick right now – don’t wait.
  • Started your own business right now – Your desire to spend more time doing for yourself and family rather than being a corporate bod can heighten once baby is here. I’m glad I’d already started on that road – so if you are thinking of working for yourself then why not start a side hustle right now so that you have something to transition to in the future that is your own.
  • Make the most of all of your little bits of time – I used to faff about a bit, making a coffee, going down the blackhole of the internet now and again BB but AB you start to know what you can really achieve in 20 minutes! Baby down for a nap – what can I do?  Eat, sleep, OR shower (not all three!) in the early days but now you might find me answering emails or working on a blog post or being interviewed for a podcast.  A good way for you to use this idea is to set a timer for your task for 20 minutes and see what you can get done against the clock.
  • Distill your business and life down to the really important goals – I’ve got 101 things would love to achieve for my business but you have to decide on how you are going to give the best value to people and at the same time provide the best value to yourself. For me I am focusing on four things.  Free valuable content, building an online course,  one-to-one coaching and PR.
  • Make the most of how you will stretch your pocket, whilst feeling great about it – I hadn’t realised how good the baby world was for this. You can get everything you need secondhand if you want.  Just think how you are saving towards environment and also making your own pocket go that bit further.  The important thing with secondhand and mindset is as long as it makes you feel first class then it is totally worth doing.  If it doesn’t then explore what it is that makes it feel economy for you, or just accept “preloved” is not for you.   Personally I love the thrill of a bargain and the idea that another baby gets the fun/cuteness/smiles etc from the same item.
  • Be open to receiving – This is one time where I really had to sit back and let other people help me. I’m normally the one who likes to be in control and doing.  I had to practice the art of being grateful to receive and allowing people to give me the gift of their time and presence.   Have a think about in your life where you block the receipt of giving?  If you are blocking it can stop money flowing to you too.  Next time someone wants to do something for you or give you something just relax and go with the flow.

So I challenge you to:

  • Taking that first baby step toward doing something you love (if you are not already)
  • Making the most of those 20 minute gaps to do something to forward your money mindset
  • Spend one of those 20 minutes brainstorming what your top 3 goals are and are your activities supporting you in that
  • Check out the local charity shop, eBay or Facebook the next time you are thinking of making a purchase – you might be surprised what you can get nearly new.
  • And if you are still reading this then fling those arms open wide and say OUT LOUD…

 

I AM OPEN TO RECEIVING!

The Utility Guy’s 5 Top (and easy) tips for saving you money

ASK THE EXPERT

In the first of my monthly “Ask the Expert” posts, I wanted something that I know could affect your bottom line – quickly and easily!

I’d like to introduce you to Rob Barnes who I’ve known for some time.  Rob helps individuals and companies save money on their utility bills and everyday shopping.     Thank you, Rob for your top tips!

Utility Guy’s 5 Top Tips for Switching your Utilities

If you’re over 40 (like me), you’ll remember the advertising slogan from the first sell-off of British Gas shares – “If you see Sid, tell him” – and yet, a generation after the UK’s utilities were opened up to the free market, there are still millions of people who have never switched suppliers.

I’ll be frank with you.  If you’ve never switched, you’re almost certainly paying too much.

Here are my Top 5 Tips to help you take the plunge…

1: Switching suppliers used to be a long-drawn-out, problematic affair.  No more.  You can usually do the switch online, and you don’t even have to contact your old supplier.  The whole exercise is usually finished within 3-4 weeks.

2: Remember that the comparison sites – even MoneySavingExpert – only include the companies who are willing to pay to be there.  Instead, use independent reviews, such as ‘Which?’ Magazine (www.which.co.uk) and MoneyWise (www.moneywise.co.uk).

3: Pick a provider who actually helps you to reduce your future consumption.  For instance, there are sometimes offers to subsidise your insulation, and one very good company actually offers to replace all your lightbulbs for free, giving you LED bulbs which are brighter and use much less electricity.

4: Remember that the smaller companies tend to give a better deal than the Big Six.  Again, consult ‘Which?’ or MoneyWise to help you avoid any problems, and look for a company with permanently low prices rather than picking a supplier just for its introductory offer.

5: Take advantage of a useful piece of legal information.  If you’re in the last 7 weeks of a fixed-price gas or electricity deal, your current supplier does not have the right to charge you to leave – even if there’s an Early Termination Fee in your contract, it does not apply in the last 49 days of the contract.

Go for it – make the switch!

Looking into the shadow to create success

shadow sun success money

 

Success can mean a lot of different things.

But ultimately one of the definitions is the bottom line.

Money.

And one of the factors influences money coming into our lives is selling,

And how we feel about selling ourselves and how we feel about receiving money.

Selling

Now I’m not talking about selling ourselves in the oldest profession in the world sort of way….

BUT how we feel about putting ourselves forward, how we feel about stepping into our value and really inviting in what we are really, really, really worth.

The trouble is we often have a lot of clutter going on our minds.

Clutter like “Am I good enough?”, “Will be like me or what I have to offer?”, “Maybe I can’t do this”…..

Let’s upgrade!

Let’s look at how to step beyond all that clutter and really own your power, let’s upgrade where we are…..

Firstly let’s look at where you are now, where we want to be, and what is stopping us getting there.

Try this exercise to get your upgrade thoughts moving….

Like cake we need a great set of ingredients to rise, to not be soggy in the middle and be an all round delicious item!

  1. What ingredients do you need to achieve the level of income you want? – Make a note of the first 3 things that come to mind.
  2. What skills, behaviours or traits do you need to become a better version of you? – Again make a note of the first 3 things that come to mind
  3. Think of a particular project or goal that you want to achieve this year.

Great BUT I bet…….

What you have written to the above are things that you have been trying to do, again and again and again?

Why is it that you are not achieving these very things that seem so logical and sensible to do?

The Shadow

When we want to achieve something, a goal such as increasing our income, we have to not only look at the positives of this but the shadow, the dark side of achieving our goal.

Let me tell you a little story first of all.

So later this year I want to launch an online course that will give all you lovely people access to me in a different way, that allows you to work as you want (click here if you want to be on the list to be the first to know when it is coming (and get sneak previews, early bird discounts and more…)

I’ve been working on this for a while but before I started doing so I spent some time visualising the outcome.

I imagined the course had been launched and it was a great success.  I really stepped into that scene and felt the joy of that success, the satisfaction of reaching my income goals, and the great feeling of helping more people than I can do currently on a 1:1 basis.

Now we are taught a lot just to focus on the positives and somehow erase the negatives – something like covering up a cowpat with icing….  It’s still gonna be a cowpat!  So we need to face these negatives head on.

So when I thought about having achieved a successful online course the negatives of that success came up for me like this:

  • Maybe the journey would have been too hard for me physically and mentally
  • What about the pressure of maintaining this new income level?
  • What if it meant I leapfrogged hubby in terms of income?
  • What if I needed to take on more staff?

By making myself aware of these “prices of success” meant I could work out what was really going on in my mindset, and make changes accordingly.

I had to asked myself – would I take the upgrade?

Sabotages

If you don’t look at the shadow there is the big chance you will be subtly sabotaging yourself not to achieve what you want.  For example, I might not prioritise my content creation, so the date of launch get’s pushed back, or I find a new project to work on that suddenly seems more important, or not promote myself fully.  All to keep me in my comfort zone, and not put me in danger of potentially getting my negative outcomes.

What is your shadow?

Let’s have a go at this exercise yourself.

Imagine you go to bed tonight and a magic wand has been waved as you sleep and when you wake your wish has been granted.

All the upgrades you wanted from the first exercise have happened.

What this has resulted in got everything you wanted in regard to you, and how you generate the level of income in your business, that one thing you really want to work, that one project you are working on.

It’s happened and it is all a success!

What can you see, feel, hear and smell?

What emotions are running through you now you have your wish?

Now list the positive feelings

Now visit the shadow and list the negative feelings.

Awareness

Excellent, you have taken to first step to releasing any blocks to upgrading your income as the first stage is raising your awareness.  This can sometimes be enough.  Alternatively, if you would like to delve a bit deeper within coaching I work with people to remove these barriers and work on actions to confidently move you to the next level.

You can find out more by booking a complimentary clarity call.  I’d love to hear from you.
