Goals With Soul Joanna Ingram

Do you know what a real soul client is?

It’s such an important question, but in this industry it’s not asked enough.

This might be a newsflash, but we’re not just about business.

We have lives filled with experiences that might be raw, and we might still be reeling from them. Me included.

2023 was a challenging year for me in my personal life.

I knew had the desire and ability to create my dreams when it came to my business, but I also knew I didn’t have the capacity.

I had to pause.

We’re often taught that it’s our fault if we have low vibration, but you know what? Sometimes sh*t just happens!

That’s the way the universe is designed...

We’re made to experience the contrast of light and shade so we can gain clarity on the things we really want.

We’re given experiences to help our soul’s journey as we evolve as people. So many of us have created businesses by learning how to overcome challenges in our own journeys.

We share our experiences from scars, not wounds.

We reenergize and bounce back, stronger than ever and ready to help others do exactly the same.

So, how does this relate to soul clients?

There’s an assumption soul clients come to us fully formed, ready to ace our container.

But that assumes they’re not struggling.

I had a client recently who I knew in my heart was a good fit, but after one session together she was having doubts. This made me doubt the situation too.

I sat back and considered the situation and realized that the client was indeed my soul client and incredibly capable, but she was going through a difficult time. She needed my support to gain the confidence and clarity to get back to who she was.

And that’s exactly what happened!

The experience you’re going through doesn’t detract from the person you are. She was my soul client; she just came to me from a place of struggle.

And that’s OK. Actually, it's PERFECT!

Why do we value climbing a mountain from base camp when so many of us start climbing those mountains from way down below sea level?

Enjoy the listen!

How do you feel when you hear the word sales?

For a lot of us it fills us with horror…but it doesn’t have to.

Today I’m diving into some nuts and bolts of making sales with my guest, Anna Faru. Anna is a Business & Mindset Coach for female coaches. Her clients have made over $2,9 million USD collectively. She's worked with 100s of women & helped them develop customized marketing strategies to attract more dream clients, in ways that feel deeply aligned for them. When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her reading a smutty novel on her Kindle or climbing with her hubby.

In this episode you will learn:

>> That sales don’t have to be icky – and integrity and sales are not mutually exclusive

>> DMs are where it’s at when it comes to genuine sales built on trust and connection

>> How to initiate those genuine DM connections – think of it like a mingle party!

>> Not to be afraid of the friend zone…it’s a milestone!

>> You shouldn’t be scared to repeat yourself – it helps your clients gain clarity on what they really want

Sales aren’t greedy – they’re the best way to help people make really amazing transformations.

In previous years it used to be easier to get sales, but the market is more crowded now. We need to stand out with integrity – and meet our clients where they are, which just so happens to be in the DMs.

Nurture relationships, build the vibe and then work from their cues. What are their goals and challenges and how do they align with your area of coaching? When you’ve ascertained that, you’re poised to say, “I can help you with that!”. Because why would you not offer to help if you can?

And if it’s a no? You’ve not wasted time – they’re a valuable community member who might refer someone else to you.

If you’re good at coaching, you’re already good at communicating and establishing trust. Focus on genuine interactions and connections and the sales will flow from there. Just start having those conversations!

Enjoy the listen!

How do you feel about standing out?

Playing big, getting visible, and moving into a position where you can welcome new opportunities and increase impact?

Today’s guest has personally inspired me to think about visibility in an entirely new way. Florence is a Visibility Coach to high-achieving female coaches who are ready to step out of hiding and into the spotlight of their personal brand. She's also a Hollywood and West End Lead Actress.

Florence is committed to helping ambitious women-led personal brands unlock their income, impact, and icon factor through the power of magnetic presence, one-of-a-kind positioning, and a truly aligned and simple visibility strategy that takes them from blending in to standing out in their niche.

In this episode, you will learn:

>> That playing small doesn’t help anyone…you OR your clients!

>> The value of reframing fear as excitement – after all, fear is often the cover to our deepest desires

>> To do it scared first…and accept it might not be great first time!

>> Not to confuse high standards with impossible-to-reach perfectionism

>> Pausing in your content presentation isn’t a weakness – it’s a strength, allowing your words to be absorbed. Hold the pause!

It’s instilled in us to stay small and keep our opinions to ourselves, but we need to be thought leaders, reaching that next frontier of courage where we show up and play big – where we are the alpha.

Your clients seek the gold you can share, so show up confidently. People don’t necessarily look for the highlight reel now. When things go wrong, people look for how you respond and how you recover.

After all, sales and community building are all about genuine human connection.

So don’t script yourself – tap into that gold! Trust your own wisdom and feel the flow.

As Florence says, we’re never going to be everyone’s cup of tea – but we might just be someone’s shot of tequila!

Enjoy the listen!

How important is wellness and self-care when you're building a business?

In this episode, we're diving into this topic with my guest, who shares how to stay healthy and vibrant whilst building your business with fun and joy.

Dr. Christiane Schroeter is a Health & Happiness Coach who supports entrepreneurs in finding their best selves by kickstarting their health, and the Host of the top global ranked podcast, Happy Healthy Hustle.

As she puts it herself, Christiane has walked the walk so she can talk the talk!

In this episode will you learn:

>> Common reasons why wellness isn’t being prioritized by entrepreneurs and how to overcome them

>> How to weave in daily self-care habits that really make a difference and make use of boundaries to bookend your day

>> The positive impact modeling wellness practices has on your children and those around you

>> The importance of building a community around your wellness goals to lift each other up…and to motivate you to get back up if you get off track (which, FYI is normal!)

>> The 5 pillars of health we need to pay attention to

It takes intentionality to prioritize wellness amidst the hustle - especially as a solopreneur. But it’s the framework on which your success is built.

If you aren’t well, your business goals just aren’t going to be attainable.

Mood has such an impact when you are your business – it puts us in the energized place needed to boost our businesses and propel them forward.

If, like me, you’re juggling all the things, it won’t be long until you come up against a niggle, so it’s time to look after yourself now - not later down the line.

Enjoy the listen!

Today we’re diving into the deeply important topic of growth and scaling – and how to do this with more ease and flow.

My guest today is outstanding Growth Strategist and former client, Kara Renninger.

Leveraging her 15 years of expertise, she helps entrepreneurs align their actions with their goals using the Balance and Scale Method™ so they can grow repeatable and predictable revenue, have an even bigger impact, and, ultimately, work less hours while finding more joy.

Sounds great, right?!

In this episode, you will learn:

>> How to know when it’s time to scale

>> What a scaled business should look like vs simply having your own business

>> How to scale to 7-figures without burnout

>> The role messaging plays in scaling your business

Scaling is often something people don’t quite get until they’re at the point where they’re feeling the pinch!

Kara shares her lived experience of scaling her business – going from a one-woman band to being able to take on even more clients and grow her business without compromising her time and mental health.

She reveals the critical importance of data and how real freedom comes from planning for yourself using data-driven decisions.

Sometimes, we tell ourselves stories that aren’t true, and data helps us see the truth - and it feels so much better to make decisions from insight rather than guesswork. Plus, it reveals opportunities you can harness!

The hard facts will reveal what isn’t performing, seeing through vanity metrics. When used in conjunction with your intuition, it’s even more powerful.

Scaling your business allows you to take a step back, reaping the benefits of your successful business whilst enjoying increased freedom and time.

It can seem intimidating to sit in the CEO seat and make the decisions that are going to increase your impact in the world, but it’s not as scary as you think it is!

Enjoy the listen!
