If you're like most healers, holistic health practitioners, and coaches, you may experience stress when it comes to marketing and selling your services.
First, give yourself some grace! I bet they didn’t teach you these skills in your graduate program or certification courses! I remember taking one marketing course in college, and between all of my certification programs I've taken in the last 15 years, at best there would be one module or lesson on the subject of business.
When I left corporate and launched my business 6 years ago, I thought by simply offering something I knew my ideal client needed was enough. What I learned as I dove into business and marketing programs and courses, is that as an entrepreneur if you want to do what you truly love, which is to help change the lives of others, but without burning out or needing an MBA, then you have to include the 4 things I'm going to teach you in this article.
Let's get into it!
4 Proven Strategies for a Successful Launch
1. Create a Clear and Simple Strategy
One of the biggest sources of stress in selling is the feeling of being overwhelmed by all the possibilities. You might think you need to create a bunch of lead magnets, write countless emails, develop a full-blown social media plan, engage more in Facebook groups, book more sales calls, hold masterclasses, and so on.
It’s easy to see how overwhelming this can get, right?!
Instead, start with a clear and simple strategy. Focus on one marketing channel where you can lean into your strengths and even your Human Design. For instance, if you’re naturally inclined to create engaging videos, start with YouTube or Instagram Reels.
If writing is your strength, focus on blogging or email marketing. Get really good at this one channel before adding another layer to your strategy. This approach not only reduces stress but also allows you to build expertise and confidence step by step.
A simplified strategy also gives you the flexibility to add complexity over time. By mastering one element at a time, you can create a more sustainable and scalable marketing plan. Remember, a successful launch doesn’t require you to do everything at once – it requires you to do a few things really well.
2. Manage Your Nervous System
Managing your nervous system is crucial for business success. When you're calm and centered, you can think more clearly, make better decisions, and become more magnetic to your ideal clients. No one wants to hire a hot mess, LOL.
Self-care is an important pillar in my holistic business success framework. Incorporate practices that help you manage your nervous system, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or regular breaks throughout your day. Prioritizing self-care helps you stay grounded and effective in your business endeavors.
When your nervous system is regulated, you're more likely to stay focused and productive, making it easier to navigate the ups and downs of launching your offer. This stability not only benefits you but also instills confidence in your clients and prospects.
While any time is a great time to implement these practices, I recommend trying to do them as soon as you start your day BEFORE you open your phone or laptop. You'll thank me later ;).
3. Manage Your Mindset
Your mindset plays a huge role in your success. When you’re about to launch something new, limiting beliefs and fears often surface, stretching your comfort zone. To manage your mindset, amp up your mindfulness practice. Journaling and EFT/Tapping are powerful tools to help you process emotions and shift your mindset.
Start by identifying and challenging your limiting beliefs. For instance, if you catch yourself thinking, "I'm not good enough," counter that thought with evidence of your past successes and positive feedback from clients.
Consistently practicing this reframing can help you build a more resilient and positive mindset.
Remember, we can only take ourselves so far. Seeking support from a Certified Coach such as myself can be key to overcoming self-sabotage and moving through mental and emotional blocks.
Don’t hesitate to invest in the support you need to thrive, its the best return on investment you'll ever make. A coach can provide you with personalized strategies, accountability, and insights that you might not see on your own.
4. Be Your Own Biggest Fan
The more rooted you are in the WHY behind your offer, the easier it will be to plan, execute, and sell. Embrace your passion and let it drive you forward.
When you believe in your offer and its value, your enthusiasm becomes contagious, attracting clients who resonate with your energy.
Regularly revisit your WHY to keep your motivation high and your message clear. Why did you start this journey? What impact do you want to make?
Sharing your story and the passion behind your offer not only strengthens your connection with your audience but also reinforces your commitment to your goals.
Being your own biggest fan means celebrating your wins, no matter how small, and using them as fuel to keep going. It’s about maintaining a positive outlook and being proud of the value you bring to the table!
