Online Resources For Experts, Coaches, Speakers and Consultants

In the dynamic world of coaching and consulting, the move from B2C (Business-to-Consumer) to B2B (Business-to-Business) can be a pivotal shift. April Beach, a seasoned business strategist with over 27 years of experience, recently delved into this subject in her Suite Life Entrepreneur podcast, episode 318. Here’s a concise breakdown of the episode, offering actionable steps for professionals considering this transition.

Step 1: Evaluate Your Readiness for B2B

The first step is recognizing when it's time to shift focus. If you're an established expert feeling the urge for change, it might be time to consider B2B. Beach suggests introspection about your current business model and your readiness for this transition.

Step 2: Understanding Your Legacy and Future Goals

Before making the leap, understand the legacy you've built in your B2C journey and how it aligns with your future goals. Ask yourself: How important is it for me to be recognized for my past work in my...

The term business model refers to your plan for making a profit by the types products and services you sell. 

Aka: Your  business model is the way you serve your clients and make money

Examples of common business models for experts, coaches and consultants are coaching 1-1, coaching group, online courses, membership communities, masterminds, retreats, live virtual events, and more. 

Your business model can be different for each product in your offer suite, or you can create an offer roadmap that flows people to different levels within one offer and model.

Picking the right business model is fundamental in allowing you to live the life you want to live.  In oder to pick the right business model for you and your business, April suggests asking yourself these questions and answer them as if it was 5 years from now.

1. How many hours per week do I like to work (5 years from now)?
2. How do I really love to serve my clients?
3. Do I have others working for me, or a...

In podcast episode number 231, April chatted with Theresa Loe, founder of streamlinedandscaled.com and a leadership and business coach for overworked entrepreneurs. She helps business owners streamline their operations and build self-managed teams so they can finally get their time back and scale with ease.

Theresa chatted with April and offered advice to help you get over the issues that may be stopping you from scaling and growing your business to the next level; how to get over your fear of hiring people.

So first of all, let's talk about why this is even a fear. What is the deal? What is the matter with us?

I have struggled with management over the years. It's not my strength. I have had to work very hard to learn, to become a better leader and manager and delegator.

As entrepreneurs we have all these ideas in our head and we think it's so much easier or it's so much faster if we just do it ourselves, but I'm going to tell you that, and I learned this the hard...

In case you didn't know Clubhouse is a new social media app offering exciting networking opportunities for entrepreneurs.

It's content is focused solely on live conversations held within rooms and provides business owners a fresh platform within which they can really engage with their potential customers and connect in a real-life manner with peers and mentors.

It feels liberating and more natural than some other social media platforms coming with the added advantage of ease in how you can show up - no formal dress, interesting backdrops or confidence in front of a camera required!

Now, let's dive in and get you up and talking to the world!

1. Download the app and reserve your name.

Right now the app is only available on iOS devices and you can only gain access via invite but, once your name (it's best to try and get your real name) is reserved you will be able to be (eventually) invited in by someone with your phone number in their contacts list who will endorse your profile.

Why Reset and Refocus Your Business?

As we approach fall, it marks the beginning of the fourth and final quarter of the year for many entrepreneurs. And fall is a great time to assess your business to find out if it is on the right track to hitting its end of year numbers.

Fall also marks a time for many business owners to revamp or tighten up their business strategy, especially after a relaxing summer. But this year has been different. This year has thrown us many curve balls and unexpected challenges.

This year has been especially challenging for many businesses that have managed to survive the last couple of months. Even with this survival, many businesses do not see a way to achieve their end of year financial target. But don't just accept things as they are.

As an entrepreneur, you’re fully responsible for the growth and success of your business. So if you are approaching the end of the year and you have not hit your financial benchmarks or any other goals for your...
