When we’re learning about marketing and building a business, it’s so easy to become detached.

To see the people on our list as numbers or dollar signs, or open rates.

But I don’t.

I see you.

I think about you and wonder how you’re doing. I check out your websites and social media profiles and I’m cheering you on!

Recently I started working with a new crop of clients in my Get Online Profit & Chill laser coaching program (click here if you missed it) and I can’t tell you how much I LOVE this process.

It’s all about the next step.

No more overwhelm.

No more indecision.

No more drama.

These people are action takers!

Action=Results and it doesn’t get any better than that

And that brings me back to you.

How can you get a quick shift in your business?

Here are 5 simple steps you can take to get some momentum going in your business.

Grab a pen and paper and get ready to get into the flow.

1. Get clarity on the most pressing issue/need you have on hand right now. (Hint:The 3 most common boil down to money, time or systems.) Write down everything that comes to mind.
2. Looking at that list, which of those things would make the most immediate impact in your day to day life? Circle it! Go with the very first thing that comes to mind. It’s tempting to have competing issues…but that’s just a one-way ticket to Stuckville. Pick one!
3. Depending on how urgent the matter is, set aside time each day or week to work on this ONE thing until it’s done.
4. As you get to work on this ONE thing…ask yourself…”What is my next step?” and just do that. It’s very tempting to want to map out the whole plan or project…but again…Stuckville! Unless you’re naturally a planner. Then by all means go ahead. But only if you’re a planner by nature. And even then, be prepared to scrap the plan
5. Once you’ve completed that ONE thing go back to Step 4 and rinse and repeat as many times as it takes to get the job done.

You’ve GOT this!

You’ve got the answers.

You’ve got the training.

You’ve got the experience.

And for those very rare instances when you just can’t see the forest for the trees, you’ve got me

XO, Marta

We’ve been having a really powerful conversation over here in the Chill zone.

It’s a conversation about what Online Profit & Chill really means.

In the past week, during my Feel Good Fortune Formula Sessions, at least 3 different business owners had the ‘aha’ that they’ve been spending all of their time on activities that aren’t actually growing their business.  

One gal, R. realized that the membership site she’d been working on for a really long time, actually wasn’t a sustainable business model for the life and business she wanted to have.

Another gal, K. has spent months working on her branding and website and content to share on her blog and social media, but she had yet to determine who she wanted to work with or how she would help them.

When you’re building an online business, it’s easy to get carried away in all of the ‘shiny’ stuff out there.  There’s so much to learn, do and try.  And for those of us who are learning-junkies…there is no end to all of the opportunities! 

Yet, at some point, it can really bite you in the butt!

You get so ‘busy’ learning and implementing that next ‘new’ thing and chasing down every opportunity that you lose sight of your mission.  You lose sight of the original vision you created for your business.

So, how do you shift out of a business model that doesn’t resonate with your dream business?  The business you originally dreamed of when you first started out?  The one that made your heart sing?

1. Slip out the back, Jack.  Ask yourself, if you were starting over from scratch, what would your goals be?  Who would you work with?  What would you offer them?  How would you structure your days/weeks.  Compare this to your current business.  Where are the gaps?  What needs to shift?  

2. Make a new plan, Stan. Based on your insights above, decide if you need to change your business model.  Determine which marketing strategies work best with your strengths and FOCUS on implementing one at a time. You don’t have (and it’s likely not possible) to do this all at once.  Chart your course and take it at your own pace.

3. Get yourself free.  Systematize everything you do so that you can delegate it to a team member or EVERGREEN the whole thing so that you can scale the results with ease!

I’ll tell you the same thing I’ve been telling all of these gals: it IS possible to have a business that supports and sustains you (rather than the other way around).  That’s what I’m talking about when I say Profit & Chill. 

It means having a business doing what you love to do, how you love to do it, with the people you love to serve.  It also means doing it in a way that fuels and funds your life, however that looks for you

If you want more leverage, sustainability, and scalability in your business, so that you can chill more while profiting more too, I’m your gal!

Stay tuned, I’ll be sharing some resources with you over the next few weeks to help you do just that.
