HOW INSPIRED ACTION MAKES SELLING (WAY) EASIER: A CONVO WITH ALEX BEADON

On living your way into the answer…

I love this quote:

How do you feel about listening to podcasts?

I love ’em.

I value the medium. The actual CHANNEL for communication.

I love listening to a conversation (solo or) between two people and feeling my own energy rise.

LingOL when someone makes a joke that existed in my brain too.

I love how having someone ELSE’s voice inside my head – even just for 20 minutes – can build such strong connection and trust.

I also love listening at 1.5x-2x speed for max nerdiness and efficiency ;)

Thing is – even though over the past couple of years I’ve recorded over 60 of my OWN Naptime Empires® podcast episodes, spoken on stages, interviewed friends on their OWN podcasts, done interviews via livestream…

I haven’t YES to an invite to share my story via someone else’s podcast since 2017, right before my fam and I moved from Honolulu to Houston.

Digital decades ago.

Why the pause in pod-sharing??

That move sparked a big shift for me. For us.

As a result – I’ve mostly been in listen and learn mode over here.

Experimenting, exploring, reflecting on who I am + why, who, how I want to serve moving forward.

Creating my own “squiggle” season and learning alllll the messy lessons that come along with it.

I said “thanks but not now” to interview invites because I didn’t want to lead people (who hadn’t met me yet!) on a parade down my creative cul-de-sac while I figured my ish out.

This season has been EXACTLY what it needed to be – and I’ll share more about it / what’s next in the weeks and months to come, but for now I wanted to let you know:

While I will ALWAYS be in some degree of listen + learn mode (that’s the sage-y goddess in me ;)) I’m back to sharing my stories BEYOND my own spaces again.

And it feels SO GOOD.

My first interview of the biennial was with my buddy Alex Beadon; it went live this week.

If you’ve ever found yourself circling your own creative cul-de-sac, looking for an answer key nobody else could give you, I think you’ll enjoy it.

Here are some of the key takeaways (in Alex’s words):

What REAL-ationships look like and why they’re important in your business.

How Nikki went from $0 to $21,000 by offering free sessions

How she scaled up to a 6-figure business by shifting from one-on-ones to an online course

How she packaged free content for an extra $20,000 in revenue

How focusing on essential business activities and self-care brought in one of her most profitable months ever

How being out of alignment caused her sales to stagnate

How being aligned with your highest values allows you to be more inspired, disciplined, organized and focused

How to figure out what your highest values are

How to recharge after you give so much to your audience and clients

NOTE: there’s also a little breaking news about the future of my offerings. More on that to come ;)
