Cashing in on Your Passion while Staying True to Yourself, with Guest, James Patrick, Award-Winning Fitness Photographer, Author, and Founder of FITposium EP109


Just because you are good at something doesn’t mean you have to do it for a living.

My lord do I wish someone told me this early in life!

So many people (me included) turn what we are good at into a career, never asking ourselves if we are truly passionate about it or enjoy it.

We may love the awards, praise, and accolades from doing these things we are good at or even naturally gifted at, but that doesn’t mean it’s what we are meant to do.

I am naturally great at conflict resolution and crafting corporate documents, while these are great skill sets, I am not passionate about either, in fact I don’t enjoy them at all.

The magic happens when we align our gifts with our passions. My guest on today’s podcast episode found that magic and he’s going to share how you can do the same.

Ep 830 3 Things to Do This Month to Get More People Buying From Your Online Business | 30-Day Online Sales Sprint: Part 1

You’re creating content, talking about your offers, showing up online, and doing what you’ve been told will grow your business—but the sales still aren’t matching the amount of effort you’re putting in.

So what do you actually need to focus on if you want to get more customers and increase online sales without adding even more to your plate?
That’s what we’re tackling in Part 1 of my 30-Day Online Sales Sprint.

Instead of giving you another giant list of marketing strategies to try, I’m narrowing it down to three things to focus on for the next 30 days. Because when sales slow down, one of the biggest mistakes online business owners make is assuming they need to do MORE: more content, more platforms, more offers, more posting.

Before you add anything, you need to understand where the actual breakdown is happening between someone discovering your business and eventually paying you.
