One thing that can create an emotional storm faster than anything is Enrollment Numbers.  Coaches', Healers' and Educators' businesses depend on enrollment numbers.  How can you resolve this emotional storm before it even starts?

Some people get excited about numbers. For others it makes them sick to their stomachs.  A number is just a neutral thing.  Our thoughts about the number are what create our feelings.

It’s true, you put in so much time and effort into preparing your offerings. Whether it’s a product, workshop, program, or one-on-one, it takes so much prep work to get ready! You want high enrollment numbers.

If you’re worried about low enrollment numbers or experienced low enrollment numbers, this is for you.  Self defeating thoughts about the number will create negative feelings and subsequent actions that will stall or sabotage your business.

Growth mindset thoughts about the number will create productive feelings and actions that will help your business.

There’s gold in small numbers (even 0).

In today’s episode I share 2 concepts that will set your business up for long term success.

 

In this episode, we explore:

  • Running a proof of concept for your business services and products.
  • I share a story of my first proof of concept on a workshop and how it went!
  • Getting low (or 0) enrollment doesn’t have to be a bad thing!
  • I share some of my favorite Zoom features and tricks.
  • Importance of your Minimum Acceptable Enrollment.
  • Calculating your Cost Per Acquisition.
