Episode 135: How I’m Investing During our Biggest Year Yet
I’m nervous to record this episode today, but I want to debunk the fake bragging I see happening with coaches sometimes. You know what I’m talking about — they rent a jet for 20 minutes and take a selfie pretending they’re flying off somewhere.
It sort of implies that they know how to run a successful business and you don’t, and I just think that’s gross. So today, I wanted to share with you all how I’ve decided to run this business at this point.
We’re doing really well. This is the best year that the business has ever had, and I wanted to talk about what I attribute that to and why I think it’s working so well. (We are up 158% year over year.)
People get excited when the revenue goes up, but we’re taking a sober approach to sustaining the growth.
If I have money in the business, I’m deciding who we're hiring, how we’re working, what our agreements are, and the difference we’re making in the world.
I’ve really come to understand that 80% of success is how we view ourselves, how we view our passions, and the amount of energy we bring to our work. I mean, it just MATTERS.
When I teach women about business, I always say your business is soup. There are lots of ingredients going in. What’s important is that you understand what each ingredient does when you put it in or when you take it out.
For Team Sarah, the shift happened during the pandemic when everything shut down. I thought: You know what? I'm just going to show up. And that's how Coffee With Coach was created. I was really excited to step into that opportunity and provide as much support as I could.
From there, we launched a YouTube channel and started adding more and more members to the team.
All those things are investments. I'm not editing those videos. I'm not editing this podcast, and I'm not pitching myself. Those were all investments that the business is making to spread what we’re doing here at Team Sarah.
Listen in for more about mindset and what I’m doing to invest in myself this year.
Pop in those earphones, and let’s get to it!
