My word for 2019 is metrics. Yep, metrics. You might not think that metrics are super sexy, but I do.

Why? Because achieving my goals turns me on.

And if you want to achieve your goals and killing it in life and business turns you on too, it’s time to start loving numbers.

Give me a well organized, detailed tracking sheet and I’m a happy woman. In fact, I have multiple spreadsheets that I use for my business AND personal life, and my team does as well.

Metrics are a HUGE part of every conversation I’m having right now… whether it’s talking with my team about revenue projections, plans, and results, looking at the ways we’re working to serve and support our community of powerhouse women, or when I’m working with clients around their own goals, including creating changes beyond the financials, but in their relationships or their weight as well.

Metrics matter. The numbers don’t lie.

You can’t just stick your head in the sand and ignore the numbers, no matter what the goal. That’s what leads to ‘magical thinking’ and inconsistent results.

Sure, you might be “making better choices” in terms of what you eat and taking the stairs instead of the elevator… but are you clear on how your actions impact your energy and weight, or are you just ‘hopeful’ that it will?

Maybe you’ve invested some time and energy into marketing your offerings and you know your income goal for the year… but are you clear on what it would mean for something to be ‘effective’ or ‘ineffective’? Do you know how much of each product you need to sell to hit your number, or how many sales conversations that requires based on your conversion rate?

I know numbers can feel scary and overwhelming… especially if you tell yourself the story that ‘you’re not good with numbers’ or you ‘don’t like spreadsheets’. (I know really smart women that want to run and hide when it comes to clearly looking at their numbers.)

But do you want to be someone with stories and inconsistent results… or someone with the actual successes you desire in income, impact, reach, and lifestyle?

The latter requires honesty with yourself, which requires looking at the numbers.

Don’t worry, I’m going to help you. :-)

I want you to get crystal clear on your biggest goal for the year. Maybe that’s how much money you want to make… maybe that’s creating a more loving and fulfilling partnership… or maybe it’s buying the dream home or taking a ‘round the world trip.

Whatever it is, write it down and make sure it’s SPECIFIC.

And, stay tuned… I’m rolling out a brand new training that’s all about The Metrics to Becoming Unstoppable where we’re going to dive deeper into what metrics mean for YOU and how to use them to achieve your goals and dreams.

Can’t wait to share… ;-)

What are your visibility goals?

How will you be putting yourself and your work out into the world?
Do you want to speak on stages or be featured on podcasts?
Do you want to start making videos… have that photoshoot… go to more events?

I want you to take a moment to figure out what exactly you desire to create next year… in reach, revenue, and impact… and how important visibility is a part of calling all of that in.

Go ahead… I’ll wait. ;-)

Great!

Now that you know what you want to create… how confident are you feeling in your own skin? How comfortable do you feel getting dressed up and going out into the world? How are your energy levels? Will you feel like a sexy badass getting in front of the camera?

If you answered ‘no’ to any of the above… we need to talk.

Not feeling comfortable, confident, and energized in our skin is one of the TOP WAYS women hold themselves back in business. It has a DIRECT link to whether or not you hit your income goals and call in everything you desire.

Not feeling good in your body leads to playing small and hiding out… it keeps you from actualizing your fullest potential, because you’re constantly putting it off for “when I lose those extra pounds…” or because you’re “just too tired right now.”

Are you ready to move past that?

(Hint: the answer is ‘yes’ if you want to make the kind of money you desire.)

There is a DIRECT CONNECTION between how you feel about your body and the money you’re able to make in your business. Don’t let this hold you back a moment longer.

Mastering Sales

January 1, 2019UncategorizedAmira Alvarez

The truth, whether you want to hear it or not, is: money comes through sales.

There is always a sale. Whether you’re writing a newsletter to your email list or having a conversation with a prospective client on the phone, writing a grant proposal or chatting with someone informally… when money changes hands, there’s a sale.

Sales is unavoidable, especially if you want to make really good money in your business.

I was recently interviewed on The Story Engine Podcast on Mastering Sales.

In this episode, I talk to Kyle about:

How to break through your glass ceilings
Why most people self-sabotage in sales
Overcoming the fear of rejection
How to prepare for a sales call
The preliminary questions you need to ask in advance
How to start the sales conversation, the first question you should ask
What to do at the end of the sales conversation
The why behind what people purchase

There’s a direct connection between how you feel about your body and your ability to make the kind of money you desire to make.

So many of my clients and women I meet aren’t feeling 100% happy with their body.

Whether they’re overweight… lacking the energy they desire to do the things they love… feeling frumpy and uncomfortable in their clothes… or they don’t have confidence in their own skin.

And when we’re not happy with our body, we tend to spend far too much mental energy on it.

Struggling and fighting with ourselves around what we’re eating or not eating… trying on five different outfits before getting out the door in something that’s “fine” enough… beating ourselves up for slipping up on our “diet”… or shaming ourselves for being where we’re at.

All of that takes precious time and energy away from money-making activities.

You can’t move the needle forward in your business if you’re spinning out about your body (or anything else for that matter.)

You also can’t move it forward if you’re using it as an excuse to not be more visible.

There is a DIRECT CONNECTION between making money and how you feel about yourself and your body. You don’t want to miss this powerful training… especially after the holiday aka eating season! ;-)

I can’t wait to dive more deeply into this topic with you.

Why Are You Making It Hard?

It’s an EASY and ABUNDANT Universe… that’s the Truth.

Yet, still… things often feel hard, don’t they?

Growing your business feels like a struggle… making a quantum leap in your income feels downright impossible from where you are now… grinding through the day is exhausting… hiring team, dealing with family, and getting support feels more overwhelming than it’s worth.

But if the Truth is that it’s an easy and abundant Universe, the question isn’t “why is life a struggle,” it’s “why are YOU making it so hard?”

Let’s look at your income goal as an example…

It’s mathematically easy to make a lot of money (you just need a simple equation).

Anyone can make as much money as they want (and I do mean anyone).

If the desire for money is felt, the supply is ready to appear (this is the Law).

The only thing standing between where you are now and living/experiencing these Truths is you.

But this isn’t about making you wrong or bad… it’s simply about acknowledging that your subconscious programming is what’s keeping you from having exactly what you desire.

Your blocks and beliefs… the stories you tell about life, the Universe, and yourself… and the rules you learned as a small child about how the world does and doesn’t work.

When you understand where you’re getting in the way, you can shift your mind into a switching station of creation and manifest your powerful manifesting skills.

Let me show you how.

How have you decided to live?

This is a question that rubs many people the wrong way, but it’s an important one.

To really live in alignment with the Universal Laws, you have to take full responsibility for your life, results, and everything in between… not just some of the things, ALL of the things… including the way you have DECIDED to live your life.

Decision is an important step in the Manifestation Process and one that many women tend overlook.

In order to step into the life you’re meant to live, you have to start asking yourself… where am I deciding to live in alignment with the lies… and where do I need to start living in alignment with the Truth?

The “lies” are the stories we tell ourselves… the fears and blocks… the subconscious programming that keeps us “safe” and small… and the beliefs we’ve held since we were toddlers because that’s “how the world works” according to our parents or society.

Truth comes from Spirit, and is always in support of your highest and best life.

Can you see the Truth for yourself?
Can you see yourself living that Truth?

Sometimes the answer is yes, you can see the Truth. And in that case, you have to really ask yourself… have I DECIDED to live in alignment with that truth?

Sometimes the answer is no, you can’t see the Truth. In these instances, ask yourself a different question… can you decide to see yourself uncovering that Truth?

Making this decision allows you to open to receiving guidance from Spirit… your Truth.

So tell me, have you decided to live in alignment with the Truth?

If you’re decided, what does spirit tell you do next?
