👻 Ok so you got ghosted.

An occasional ghosting is actually a nice wake up call to help keep you humble - but here’s the important lesson:

You can’t allow the Ghoster to become the reason that you don’t go right back out there and continue to serve your community and attract those people who are ready to step into your world and want to work with you.

Online business is an energy exchange and there are lots of reason why this ghosting may have happened, but in today's episode I'm going to share a mindset shift that helps you move right on past this experience and keep shining your light.

I'm spilling the tea on:

• the likely reasons why they ghosted you in the first place
• what it means about you and your business
• how to craft a rock-solid mindset about this so it doesn't impact your sales

Listen, even the big marketing gurus get ghosted and in this episode, I even share a story about the time I ghosted a coach and why I did it. Keepin' it real out here folks.

Don't let the ghost steal your energy!

The most compelling thing you can share with your audience to help them take action is your story.

The stories we tell connect us more deeply with our clients and customers and help them get to know us. This in turn builds trust and allows them to feel like it's safe to make a buying decision.

In today's marketplace, it seems like there is a never-ending need to be creating new content, but if you spend the time to nail down your own personal conversion story and break that down into a handful of story pillars... then you have the foundation for endless copy and messaging for blogs, newsletters, social media posts, web copy and sales pages or emails.

The simplest and most profound thing you can do is tell your story.

So - in Module 5 of Mindset to Market, we focus on storytelling as the core engine of your messaging for any and all the writing you will do.

In lesson 1, we cover the various different placements for copy and the significant parts and purposes of a well-written email.

In lesson 2, we learn the Storybrand formula for creating what I refer to as your "conversion story". This is way more involved than just a bio or "About Me" segment. In this story, you tell us how and why you transformed and what makes you the person who is able to help us have a similar experienece.

In lesson 3 we learn a few exercises and my favorite strategy for batching content, so it's possible to keep it fun and creative while knocking out weeks and weeks of content for your online business.

I also dipped my toe in the water of using AI to generate new ideas, hooks, subject lines and outlines for scripts and how that can save hours of work.

Finally, in this module, I share some time-tested and proven email templates that have helped me to convert lots of sales for a wide variety of clients over the years.

This module is chock full of tools to help you get reaaaaally good at storytelling as a form of marketing!

Shift happens! The core of our business and life in general is just a large scale orchestration of energy exchanges.

I had a very positive experience navigating a big expansion of energy in my immediate life this week and the process was somewhat magical. I want to share the story with you to provide some tips on how to prepare yourself for growth in your business and life.

When we are stuck in a state of overwhelm, or caught in a state of fight/flight, our nervous system can't handle anything more, that literally creates the energetic story of "no, not available".

With that energy, it's really difficult, or even impossible to expand beyond that and hold more space for new clients, new sales, new financial abundance or receiving any kind of growth that we may desire.

On the contrary, if we can prepare our nervous system and condition it to allow our body and mind to feel safe holding more, and receiving more, then when those bigger life or business opportunities arrive, we are able to say YES and truly step into it.

In this episode, I share:

• how I managed a major work/life conflict
• energy shift and what it feels like in the body
• 3 tools that I used to step into the energy of receiving and expansion
• new dates for the Craft Your Irresistible Offer Challenge

I wish you great abundance and joy and I hope that this episode helps you in some small way.
