[OBO Digest] 💻 Shiver me timbers

We're in uncharted waters now…🏴‍☠️

Online Business Owner • May 04, 2023

When's the last time you entered uncharted territory? ⛵️

And before you start thinking that sounds dangerous, uncomfortable, hard…

Think about it this way —

Everything is discovered for the first time. And even then, its full potential is never understood right away. 

Most people are afraid of the new and cling to old ways of thinking and behaving. 

It’s more comfortable to NOT challenge yourself or change your personal status quo. 

Those people like their current status quo. 

Continuing to do what they know is "expected" and “accepted” by others is easy. 

It's safe. 

But that's just it — the easy route. 

The route already traveled.

When it comes to your online business, if you’re doing what everyone else is doing (aka the “status quo” in your industry)...

…you’re gonna end up the same way you would if you ran into pirates on a deep sea expedition:

Dead in the water  🏴‍☠️

7 Steps To Scaling A Successful & Aligned Online Business ✨

Despite what your past experiences or biz besties may have told you… 

Achieving success while staying in alignment IS possible.

Social media might tell another story — one where 6-to-7-figures are only achieved with insider-secrets…

…or that success is only possible through this method, that model, my framework, you name it.

Which probably led you to believe that you can't run a skyrocketingly successful online and be living in alignment… right?

Award winning hypnotherapist and creator of the Wealth Alchemy Formula Abi Levine can show you how to access the answers within you to create the successes + experiences you want in your life.

All you have to do is tap into it, learn how to “read” it, and follow it intuitively….

Why Hiring A Specialist Is WRONG For Your Biz

Say what now?

Everyone says niche, niche, niche, and you thought that included hiring specialists to support you too.

But think about it…

Every time you hire a specialist, it's the same long, drawn-out process:

First, you need to identify what your problem is.

Then, understand who can help you fix it.

Followed by an internet-wide search and rapid-fire DMs.

To finally interview 3, 5, 10(?), and see who (if any) are the right fit.

And then repeat. For every specialist you hire or replace.

We're tired just thinking about it 😴

Leading UK business coach Gemma Went flips the traditionally-told script to show the impact of hiring 1-2 high level generalists in your business….

….instead of 56 specialists — only a mild exaggeration.

The not-so-secret secret to a low-stress business?

Fewer decisions and less people to manage.

ONLINE BUSINESS OWNER: THE PODCAST

So before you set sail, remember….

Sneaky lil pirates will always vie for your attention, but don't fall victim to their trickery.

Just because someone, somewhere along the way, said that's just the way it is… doesn't mean it is “Capital T” truth.

The status quo works for some, and that's great….

But we both know you're trying to do something bigger, to create something different.

You're charting your own course, and that path is rarely easy. 

But that path also has the potential to bring you the success, happiness, alignment, revenue — fill in your blank(s) — that you dream of. 

So the next time those shape-shifting pirates try to plant seeds of doubt…

We challenge you to say f*** that! And sail forth anyways.

Until next time,
