Are You Out of Integrity? (and why it affects your success)

Today, I need to address a seriously important topic.

INTEGRITY.

Where are you out of integrity? Don’t know? It’s time to make a list.

I want you take out a piece of paper and write down all of your out-of-integrities.

Maybe it’s lack of exercise, not eating well, having a messy bedroom, having piled up laundry, a dirty bathroom, lack of sleep, an erratic schedule, no routine, a seriously messy desk or workspace, a pile of disorganized bills, relationships that no longer serve you. Ok… you get the idea.

I mean everything. Not just in relation to your business, but in every area of your life.

Your out-of-integrities are exhausting youThis I can promise you.

If you want to move forward with anything in your life, especially creating and building an online business, you better get your shit in order.

Now I understand that we are not perfect and not everything is going to be in meticulous order everyday, that’s understandable. But I’m talking about the every day things that should be in order.

Like your diet, moving your body and committing to health (I mean, let’s face it, you are selling health, right?), a clean and organized desk, going to bed on time and waking up early (routine), you get it, right?

When I am in integrity with myself, my life has an incredible grace, ease and flow to it. Things come to me with ease, I am confident, I feel at peace, I have my shit together – mentally, physically and emotionally. I basically feel like I can take on anything!

I have the same routine (for the most part) every day. I get up at 8am, I make tea, I write in my journal, I take a moment to enjoy my tea and reflect. I write down affirmations and what I’m grateful for, then I eat breakfast.

Then I open my agenda and map out the important things that need to get done for the day. In fact, my week is planned way in advance. I know on Mondays I write, Tuesdays I schedule in coaching calls and so on and so on.

I plan, I commit to a schedule and most importantly, I do my absolute best to make my health a priority, keep my house clean (I can’t even start working for the day until my bed is made) and stay in Integrity with myself.

Why is this important?

Because it’s not what you’re doing that matters, it’s HOW YOU’RE BEING. 

I attract clients and have a successful business because of how I am BEING. I am BEING success, I am BEING grateful, I am BEING confident, I am BEING in integrity, I am BEING organized, I am BEING healthy, I am BEING fabulous, I am BEING extraordinary.

People see this, they feel this, they want it.

You can’t BE if you are out of integrity.

Greatness is in me and greatness is in you. YOU just have to clear the mental, physical and emotional clutter (both external and internal), daily, in order to BE great.

The doing part is easy; writing blogs, writing sales copy, creating ebooks and programs, building lists and sending newsletters. None of this will be successful if I am BEING out of integrity with myself.

Need someone to share your out of integrities with? I’m all ears. Write them out and email them to me. It’s time you get in integrity with yourself, your goals and desires and start making them become a reality.

P.S. In the past, I spent 7 years in a relationship that did not serve me, I did drugs, I partied, I worked in a bar until wee hours of the morning, I slept in, I went to class late (or skipped it altogether), I ate fast food, I drank.

Goals – unclear. Money – broke. Dreams – distant.

What’s the vision you have for your future? Whatever it is, you need to BE it now.

How to Get Ravings Fans That Pay You Big Bucks!

If you were to tell me 5 years years ago that I would have a waiting list of women wanting to work with me and a successful online business, I would have thought you were crazy!

I can honestly tell you though, the time, energy and dedication it took to get to ‘waiting-list status,’ took a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

Here’s how I did it (and exactly what you need to do too!)

  1. I fiercely committed my time to providing valuable content. From recipes, to blogs, to social media posts; I committed to posting daily and weekly, sharing amazing, incredible information. And I’m not just talking about giving people a small piece of the pie, I’m talking about giving your best stuff away… for free! Yes, free! You need to be willing to give away your best content for free.

THIS is how you get raving customers.

You first have to turn them into fans and then you can turn them into customers.

  1. I put myself out there. Of course if I’m blogging and posting on social media regularly, then of course I’m ‘out there,’ but what I really mean is that you need to literally tell people WHAT you do and that you are available for calls and appointments. People need to hear this from you. I go on Facebook and promote my services all the time and if you want raving customers, you need to do this. This really does require some lady balls and confidence, but I promise; the more you do it, the more you’ll be comfortable with it.
  1. You have to understand social media and how the different platforms work. For example, both Instagram and Facebook are very visually compelling. So, don’t go on there and just post an ok photo or post super long text. The images need to speak for themselves and get your fans interested. Twitter is different and is more text based. Go on there and share an incredible health stat or give an amazing health tip in under 140 characters. Knowing how these platforms work and function will make it easier for you to use, as well as for you to communicate to your audience.
  1. And the biggest tip of all…. (drum roll please), you NEED to offer complimentary consult calls, especially if you are selling a high priced service or program. I never ever put my prices for my programs on my website or email them over to a potential client. I ALWAYS schedule complimentary calls with potential clients, speak with them on the phone, understand them, listen to them, know why they might have failed at a program in the past and create a relationship with them before I EVER tell them the price of my program. I keep time open in my calendar on a weekly basis to schedule in complimentary calls and I’ve been doing this now for over a year. THIS is how I get raving customers who pay me the big bucks.

Now, it’s your turn. Don’t feel overwhelmed by this info, instead, feel empowered! Choose one of the tips from above and start implementing it today!

I want you to feel empowered, confident and successful in your business. If you need help or support in gaining more clarity, momentum and MOOLA with your clients and in your business, don’t hesitate to email me at samantha@holisticwellness.ca to set up a call.
