What would happen to your business if you suddenly weren’t able to work?

Would it survive?

In June of 2019, Sam was suddenly incapacitated by a mysterious illness that kept her bedridden for 17 months. Scary, right?

But here’s the good news. Before she got sick, Sam was actively working on automating her lead generation, email systems, and outsourcing a few key tasks.

Even though her intention was to build a foundation that freed up more time for her to work on sales, what actually happened was that she set her business up to weather the storm that was ahead.

Listen in as we talk about the few things (it really is only a few) Sam implemented that kept the sales rolling in and allowed her to keep paying herself even though she was not able to work.

It’s a perfect plan that we should all implement.

If you’ve had some success on Etsy and you’re trying to figure out what you need to do to find big success on your own website, this episode is FOR you.

Today, my Reliable Revenue client Mary Wood, (founder of ModernMerrigold.com) is going to share with you how she was finally able to create explosive growth on her Shopify store, even though Etsy had been her #1 source of sales for years.

In 2018 Mary decided that she would do what it takes to learn how to grow sales on her own website.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear about her 3 year journey from almost no sales on her site to explosive growth.

Mary will share the game changers for her.

We’ll walk you through the things that she had to learn and implement before she could get the sales she wanted.

You’ll hear about what kept her up at night, how she knew she was on the right track, and finally how long it took before she felt confident that she is in control of her sales.

I think you will love Mary’s story, and be inspired to follow in her footsteps.

Recently I hosted a Weekend Retreat for some of our higher volume Members.

We spent some time talking about scaling our sales and talked about some of the best ways to scale your sales and grow your profit at the same time.

It’s exciting to think about what’s possible, and actually see a clear path to reach our goals, but before you dive in and think about scaling your sales, there are 3 things you should do to make sure your explosive growth doesn’t turn into a dumpster fire.

I’ve been able to scale my own store’s sales profitable, and in the last few years, I’ve watched several of our clients grow their sales to 7 figures and beyond.

Here’s what happens first:

• They set up a marketing plan for Reliable Revenue using automations, and Predictable Revenue by creating marketing events they can repeat.
• They get their financial house in order. They know their numbers, they’re profitable, and they pay themselves, even if it’s not as much as they’d like.

And lastly,

• They make room to grow by outsourcing some of the work they do, even though they might not feel ready. By bringing others in to help with the work, they create the time and space to grow their sales.

Listen in as I break it down and show you how you can prepare yourself to scale your sales this year.

Recently I shared a house with one of my Business besties, Sarah Williams, the Founder of Launch your Box.

We’ve been friends for years, we both have a product based business background, and we serve a similar customer in our service businesses.

Sarah teaches people how to successfully launch and grow a Subscription Box, and she also has a 7 figure product based business that includes thousands of people who subscribe to her box offerings.

I teach online Owners how to get sales and grow businesses that pay them well. I sold my high volume online store two years ago and started a new store from the ground up.

One night at the house, we were both working on our shops, and we had an amazing conversation about the contrast between our businesses, the time we spend working, the tasks we perform, and how we feel about our businesses.

At the end of our conversation, we were both convinced that we should share the high points with you because as we talked it through, it was clear that you should know these – they’re like the secrets to growing a business you love without losing your way or your mind.

Grab a coffee, and a pen and listen in. I think you’ll walk away feeling like you’ve got this!
