“How do you meet more of the right people when networking?” I was just having a conversation with a new friend who’s recently started networking, and she wanted to know how to maximize her results. While I was giving her some tips, I realized there are probably lots of people in my community who could use these strategies, so I decided to share them here. If you want to get more referrals, Relationships, and cash from your networking, use these 5 steps:1. Go with the intent to collaborate, not sell.

You have wisdom that could change lives, if you turned it into the right kind of coaching package. But is something holding you back from sharing it? Maybe you don’t think you have time to figure out how to create a coaching program. Maybe you aren’t sure you have enough material to create an offer people will buy… Or you have TOO MUCH information, and you don’t know how to choose what to include! Maybe you’re afraid of spending hours upon hours creating something you can’t sell. Have you ever felt that way? The good news is,

What do running a business, attracting clients, and moving to a new house have in common? Surprisingly, a lot. In the beginning of June, I moved to a rural area. And it. Was. CHAOS. From playing real-life Tetris with a too-small trailer, to getting stuck with said trailer at the entrance of a field, to getting lost and stranded in the middle of the night, it was a messy and surprisingly instructive comedy of errors. And so, because I'm always trying to help you grow your business and help more people, I decided to share those experiences -

Some days are only funny in hindsight.And some situations can't be fixed - at least, not as quickly and cleanly as you wish they could.For example, days when you're stuck in a U-Haul at a closed gas station in the middle of the night, unable to contact the family member who's waiting for you.The good news is, I had the mindset strategies I needed to minimize my fear and Stress while I was stuck, so I didn't suffer any more than I needed to.If you tend to get super stressed when things go wrong, this video is for you.In it, I'll share my story in all its funny, chaotic glory...And I…

“I just wanted to rave about how Stephanie O’Brien is so good at what she does.“She really is good at helping you, if you have courses or a masterclass you want to teach, she’s very knowledgeable in helping you formulate the way you want to do your courses, synthesize it, break it down in a way that makes it so simplistic when it comes to putting together a course and getting people signing up to want to actually book masterclasses and courses and training with you.“She’s so knowledgeable, and she’s very, very patient. She listens well, and she has such good feedback in terms…

Do you want more people to buy your coaching? Then you need to help them overcome the fears they may have around working with you. One of the most common fears/objections I hear is: “I already paid for coaching, but I didn’t get the results they promised. I’m worried that I’ll pay a lot of Money but not get results, AGAIN.” So if you want to make more sales, AND avoid being the reason someone became discouraged and scared to hire another coach, then you need to do 3 things: 1. Set realistic expectations. Make sure your clients

Would you love to keep your coaching clients longer, and get paid more for giving them even BETTER results? I recently gave a coach an idea she can use to do exactly that. This coach and I were talking about how she helps people recover from being in a toxic relationship with a narcissist. She told me about the things she’s already teaching her clients, and I was impressed. It sounds like she already has an amazingly valuable coaching program! But as always, I was keeping an eye out for ways to get her and her clients bigger and better
