3 ways to improve your value proposition | Tash Corbin

Are you searching for the latest hack or the newest marketing strategy to solve all of your sales problems? 

Do you feel inundated with people selling their hottest and most effective method to creating growth?

My next guest is here to tell you it doesn’t matter which strategy you use, it’s actually your message and your value proposition that matter the most.

In this episode, I’m chatting with the spectacular Tash Corbin. Tash is a business mentor who specialises in content-driven marketing and sales. She helps her clients become crystal clear on their niche, develop a resonating value proposition and create messaging and offers that are in alignment. 

When Tash works with clients on areas in their marketing that aren’t working, the conversation ALWAYS comes back to niche and messaging. You need to become really clear on who your service is for and who it isn’t. 

Don’t know where to start? 

Never fear - Tash is here!

We talk about how NOT to improve your value proposition and Tash shares three incredibly effective strategies you can implement today to really see things move in the right direction.

Tash’s tips are super practical and easily actionable in your business. She shares examples of how these can be used in practice so you can thoroughly understand the process and why it’s so important for your client and your business. 

We talk about embracing imperfect action and opportunities to experiment and how doing this has made the most significant impact on Tash’s journey. You’re going to love this conversation.

Redefining Success | Building a million dollar business from home

I’ve wanted to talk about this subject for a long time. 

Success. 

I want to redefine what success looks like because when you remove societal expectations, it appears completely different for every one of us.

Traditional ideas of success include the big shiny office, the large team of employees, being published in well-renowned publications, and jet-setting around the world. Probably someone in a suit, right?

Over the past year, we’ve had a complete shake up of how we measure our success. But trust me, you still need to work through your own expectations and reflect on what it really means for you because you may end up in a place you didn’t intend to be. 

I have lived that life. I was jet-setting every 3 weeks in my previous business, but I was so busy running around that I didn’t even have time to visit the beach when I ran a swimwear company! 

What is your goal right now? 

Often I hear: “I want to grow my business” and “I want to make more sales”. 

But what is your WHY behind those answers? 

Is it someone else's idea of success? Or is it truly yours?

You don’t have to grow bigger, have an office, or hire heaps of staff to be successful. 

As an introvert, I prefer to work from home. 

Why are we congratulating people when they get an office and not when they move it back home? Running a business leaner is actually a smarter decision. 

I’m so happy to say that I’ve never earned more money in my life, but I’ve also never had better health, more opportunities to catch up with friends and family, or had more time to do the things that enhance my life. 

All you need to run a million-dollar business is your laptop and yourself.

The rest is up to you. What does success look like for YOU?

Abundance - Lessons from a $150k quarter

It’s the end of the quarter so I stopped and checked my business numbers… And then I checked them again. I’m so so happy and proud to share with you that I am celebrating a $150k quarter! 

 

$150k!

 

To commemorate with all of you, I wanted to share the lessons I learnt from this incredibly abundant quarter. I would love for you to take these learnings and implement them into your own businesses right now. 

 

Let’s discuss perspective and focus. I’ve been so concerned about getting everything organised in my business that I didn’t even realise that I had reached that incredible target in just 3 months. 

 

So I wanted to ask you, what are you focusing on? 

 

I had a client that lost three customers in a week and felt so let down and disappointed, but when we checked her numbers, she was only $300 away from reaching her target goal for the month (AND her monthly target was even $3,000 more than last month!). 

 

Our brains always focus on what’s going wrong to protect us from danger but we need to rewire them to remember all of the amazing achievements we’ve made instead. 

 

Have a look at your numbers. Numbers don’t lie, but our brains do. Change your perspective. 

 

If I go back 3 years, I was so stressed and overworked running my businesses. I was frustrated, irritable and unleashed on everyone.

 

I wanted to run a business that fulfills my lifestyle. Now I’m able to go to the beach when I want to, relax, watch shows on Netflix, and invest in my education. That is a huge win in my book!

 

I don’t usually share my income because money is so relative to everybody and there are so many different factors to rate your success. I encourage you to reflect on your own journey and how your business has served your life. 

 

Take a mental note to stop and be proud of what you’ve achieved. 

 

There are all kinds of wins you’ll experience that are worth so much more than just the money you make. If you have come to believe in yourself and everything you’re capable of, that is the best win ever.

The Secret to Rest and its Benefits for Business

Is your business serving your life or is your life serving your business? 

 

Are your days full of thinking just one more thing, just one more thing, and then before you know it the day has gone? 

 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing with you a personal story about how I had to learn to slow down, rest, and then focus on building a business that lights me up. 

 

A year ago I went to a retreat where I was able to have some down time without any phone service or wifi and I learnt something really important - I didn’t know how to not be productive. 

 

When faced with trying to relax, I learnt that I’m so uncomfortable doing nothing. I was running my swimwear brand, my coaching, my membership, and my podcast. My mind was going a mile a minute and I didn’t know how to stop. 

 

Giving myself the time to be still and reset was the most important thing I learnt from the retreat. My skin even cleared up. All this time my body was in overdrive and I didn’t even realise it. 

 

I started to think, how can I build a business around my life? 

 

As a result of this journey, I learnt to build up the systems and processes that allowed me to have the life I wanted outside of work and to prevent burn out. I was then able to build a business that lights me up and that I really really love running. 

 

You need to decide what you want from your life. 

 

I want you to remember, your to do list will never be done, but one day your life will be.

My secret to learning fast - How to choose a coach

I am often asked by my clients how I know so much about everything.

 

Now I have a business degree in Marketing and Management, a background in digital marketing and managed budgets of around $500,000 per month on ads in my corporate life.

 

But, when I started my very first business, I implemented all of the strategies that I learnt through uni and from the experts in the industry, and it wasn’t helpful at all. I had to learn very quickly to adapt and change.

 

It was no longer what I knew but what I was doing. Working for my own small business is very different to working for a big corporation.

 

In this episode, I am going to teach you how to learn fast from the people you admire and the entrepreneurs you look up to.

 

I know that the coaching industry has been flooded with new coaches recently. I am going to give you my key strategies to sift through the options to pick a really great coach that is aligned with your business and will help you succeed.

 

I have built five successful businesses over the past six years and I’ve been through tons of challenges, made incredible successes, and learnt from my mistakes. Through all of this I have earned very valuable experience that I am able to pass onto my clients to fast track their success.

 

I feel like I was born to coach and share my knowledge with all of you. I have found my purpose.

 

Check out this episode and let me help you to learn quickly in your business and find a coach that will work for you.

Women Supporting Women - Are you really supporting others?

I hear a lot of people talking lately about women supporting women and supporting small businesses. But how many of us are actually doing it?

 

We’re programmed to think of ourselves first and have our needs at the forefront of our minds. It’s a very normal, natural part of being a human.

 

But when was the last time you consciously stopped to think about someone else?

 

With so many people in lockdown and businesses going through hard times, we need to be thinking of ways we can support each other. Really support each other. 

 

What could you do TODAY to help a friend, peer, or business in your community?

 

How could you support someone else?

 

There’s room for us all to grow and achieve success in our businesses. So my challenge to you today is to think of one thing you could do to support someone else.

 

This episode is from an IGTV I did recently and I wanted to share it with you all too because I feel that it’s an important message we all need to be reminded of. 

 

Who are you going to support today?

Do you have shiny strategy syndrome?

Do you have shiny strategy syndrome?

 

Are you chopping and changing from strategy to strategy because everyone else seems to be doing it and then not making any progress towards your goals? 

 

I am here to tell you that you need to stop overcomplicating things and start sticking to simple strategies in your business. Trying to accomplish many different tasks each day is overwhelming and having your attention split between too many different projects at the same time is exhausting. This constant cycle will lead to a lack of productivity and a dwindling sense of direction. 

 

Running your dream business doesn’t need to be complicated. 

 

In this episode I will discuss with you the four questions that you need to ask yourself to set clear and simple strategies specific for your business, and work towards accomplishing your goals. 

 

I have helped many clients to simplify their business to see real results. They now have more energy to put into the strategies that work for them, and time to enjoy life. 

 

Remember, the answer is not more strategies, energy output and money! Perseverance and simplifying your business strategies with a direct approach to your goals is key.

Quit Your Day Job - Go full time in your business within 6 months | Heather Perry Photography

Today I am chatting with my client Heather Perry from Heather E Photography in Perth. 

 

Heather’s business journey has been an exciting one to be part of and in this episode, she shares how she has pivoted and evolved her business to follow her real passion for elopement photography.

 

We talk about how Heather has overcome limiting beliefs and mental blocks and she shares some of her milestones over the last 6 months, including quitting her day job to work full time in her business! We talk about setting clear goals, how following your passion doesn’t feel like work and how bookings come when that passion and confidence flows through her.

 

Heather shares how she hit her income goal, increasing her revenue by 500% within 3 months of working with me and how having a business coach has impacted her growth and success. 

 

If you don’t know what you are passionate about, give it a go! And if it doesn’t work out, try something else. Check in with your goals regularly to ensure you are still on the right path and don’t let limiting beliefs, a fear of success or mind blocks hold you back.

Limiting Beliefs - How they are holding you back and limiting your success

Do you feel passionate and motivated about an idea in your business but find that you’re constantly coming up against roadblocks? 

 

Are you struggling with procrastination or imposter syndrome?

 

The number one reason my clients hit these roadblocks is because of their limiting beliefs. 

 

We all have subconscious thoughts, opinions and beliefs that shape the way we think about ourselves and the world around us. If these beliefs are left unchecked, they can have a significant impact on your success.

 

In this episode, I share how you can rewire this negative self-talk and overcome your limiting beliefs to take back ownership of your reality and move forward into success.

 

I talk about how to identify what limiting beliefs are holding you back and create a new path to overcome them. The process won’t be easy but a commitment to your future and a strong self awareness will make it possible. You created them so you can change them! 

 

I encourage you to download my FREE Limiting Beliefs Workbook on my website to assist you in dispelling these thoughts and feelings that are holding you back from achieving your goals.
