Ep.09: Creating Energetically Sustainable Offerings: A Personal Journey

If your business relies on your constant presence, you might find it hard to take breaks or handle illness without losing income. In this episode, I share my journey toward creating a more sustainable business model. It all began in 2019 when my 12-month mentorship program didn’t attract as many participants as expected. This prompted me to rethink my approach and led to the development of tiny courses, starting with "The Art of Responding." As the pandemic hit in 2020, I focused on converting live workshops into tiny courses, covering topics like interviewing, hosting live classes, and message building. This pivot not only diversified my income streams but also resonated with my audience. Throughout this process, I realised the importance of starting small and focusing on one transformation your course can provide. This episode offers insights and practical advice on creating tiny courses to build a more resilient and sustainable business.

Ep.07: The Marketing Activity That Most Impacts Sales

This episode explores a powerful yet often misunderstood marketing tool: market research.  Many people miss the mark with market research because they think that its purpose is for our audience to tell us what to offer — it’s not. I'll discuss the common errors, such as using testimonials, not applying research insights effectively, and not asking the right questions.  To make more sales with less effort, you need a market research 'system' that brings in fresh, relevant data on a weekly basis, so you always have the right words for your sales pages and content.  Feel overwhelmed by market research? I got you! My Discoverability by Design program demystifies the process, with templates and tech tools, for seamless integration into your messaging, content and offerings.  Learn more here: https://www.danigardner.com/discoverability-by-design [https://www.danigardner.com/discoverability-by-design]

Ep.06 Your Value Proposition Is Visible In Your Body Shape: A Discourse on Creator Types

What makes you different from others doing similar work to you? The answer to this question is hiding in plain site —  visible by the contours and shapes of your face, torso and limbs.  In this episode I delve into a fascinating nature and body-based profiling system called the Creator Types invented by A’Hara Kent.  There are 12 Creator Types in total, and each of us have 4 of these types that characterise how we move through business and life.  One of mine is the ‘River Creator', which characterises those with the ability to streamline, simplify, and discover shortcuts.  Tune into my conversation with A’hara for insights on how your unique value proposition is visible through your physical form.
