Here is a TEASER of the next free gift I'll be sending to all YYC Fempreneurs on January 12th, 2022 - a PDF copy of my Top 20 list with clickable links to all these goodies and more...

Lyndsie's Top 20 List for 2022

1. Get into a group coaching program led by someone who has proof in the pudding - someone who has achieved things you want to achieve.

Other important factors:

 - Make sure there is also some one-on-one coaching included with the leader as well as interaction with the other group members.

 - If you don’t pay money for the coaching program, there’s a good chance you won’t work as hard

Check out the 90 Day Leadership & Marketing Program for Fempreneurs, led by me, at www.yycfempreneurs.com/program! 

2. Fees - they are a cost of doing business. Get over it. You are losing money and credibility the longer you wait to set up your online payment infrastructure. Do it today at www.stripe.com. 

Note: you do not pay a monthly or annual fee to have a payment system at www.stripe.com (similar to www.paypal.com, but better, in my opinion) or at www.squareup.com. You will only pay a small fee each time you process a transaction, meaning unless you get paid, you don’t pay a fee. Fair, right?

What I love most about Stripe and SquareUp (I use both) is that you can send a payment link via text or instant message, plus you can embed that same link in a button or image on your website, so you can get paid while you’re sleeping or walking your dog. You can also add the *FREE* SquareUp booking/appointments feature to your profile and voila - people can book either free or paid meetings with you anytime! If you want to see this live in action, go to www.yycfempreneurs.com/schedule.

3. You need a website. Saying you aren’t ready for a website means you are either playing small, meaning you don’t plan on your business and income growing rapidly and steadily in 2022, or you don’t realize how inexpensive a website plan is. Here are the steps to setting up your fabulous website set up and making sure your message is crystal clear:

• Go to www.squarespace.com. Click Domains (unless you have your domain already, then you can go straight to choosing your website template.)
• Use these two videos to get everything set up and looking great - for less than $250CAD!!!

*BONUS* Website Essentials

(This is a little taste of what’s in the new 90-Day Planner *and Program* I created for you - everything you need to grow your community TONS in 2022…)

Your website MUST have the following six components on the home page - each of these is or is followed by a link to TAKE ACTION:

1. FREE WELCOME GIFT. This could also be a link to a free event, specifically, the sign up page/landing page where they enter their information to be added to the guest list. For FREE landing pages, I use www.mailchimp.com.
2. WELCOME VIDEO. This is you introducing yourself and explaining how they can get the most from what you have to offer and your community in five minutes or less
