Amplified impact.

::

For.

::

Multi passionate female entrepreneurs turning their gifts into assets.

::

This is a space to open your heart even deeper as you learn how to

tune into your mission and connect with your clients, the ones who you

dream to serve and create massive impact in their lives.

::

I'm here to inspire you to take time for yourself so you can be the

leader in your life and.

::

Your business.

::

One who stands out and thrives.

::

This is the place.

::

Where women just like.

::

You create wealth.

::

From the inside out.

::

We're checking that we are here.

::

Yay, excited to be coming to you.

::

And I have a new episode today, a training on a big question that I

get all the time.

::

How long do I need to launch my retreat for?

::

How long should I launch a program for?

::

And this really came through and forward from and with me over the

weekend when I had some private clients, mastermind clients, being

like, I want to make more money.

::

And I'm like, I've been following you now for months, if not years,

and you just don't sell enough.

::

In this training I'm going to walk you through the importance of brand

awareness with some key takeaways.

::

A quiz that you can go and take to get you really clear on what this

means and help you decide how long should you launch, how long should

you sell something for and why Brand awareness matters.

::

If you want to make more money you just sell more.

::

And I know for me, I've been on a sales healing journey.

::

But the moment that I started selling the self love, live your yoga

mentorship, and getting clients results, I began to get

unapologetically good at selling because I knew what I was selling.

::

I knew the transformation that was happening once clients got in the

room with me.

::

When you so firmly believe in your retreat, your online program, your

workshop, your services, you're not afraid to sell because it's

something you firmly believe in.

::

If you go to the mall, if you go to Amazon, if you go to different

websites, any business sells every single day.

::

When I come onto your Instagram page or I open up my e-mail, if I

don't have an invitation to work with you, you're not gonna make more

money.

::

There's three ways that you can sell.

::

Creating a sales funnel where you make money while you sleep.

::

It's an automated system that sells a service that you drive traffic

to a sales funnel.

::

It can be live launching.

::

Which, if you're not already, you can follow me on Instagram at Amber

Hagberg in the midst of a live launch, which I'm tracking every single

thing that I'm doing to share with my membership, to share inside of

the mastermind.

::

Every step, every phase along the way in a live launch where you're

actively talking about something consistently for a period of time or

until you fully book or sell it out.

::

And then the other way is every single day you're sending out an e-

mail, you're creating stories, you're creating posts, you're talking

to people in person.

::

You're actively selling and inviting people in to work with you.

::

Those are three different ways that you can sell.

::

And as a business owner who firmly believes in the magic and

transformation of your work, that's something that you should be doing

every day.

::

All three of them, to have them all three set up.

::

And some people don't want to ever live, launch again.

::

Some people don't want to do sales funnels.

::

I'm the coach that's going to tell you.

::

You don't have to do it any certain way.

::

I like to think of the grateful dad like let your life lead by its own

design.

::

No, let your business lead by your own design.

::

What is your design?

::

How are you?

::

How do you operate?

::

What gets you going?

::

What excites you?

::

And then sell that way and make sure that before you begin inviting

people in to work with you that you are so firmly sold on it.

::

And I know how now to heal.

::

From what I went through before as a self love coach in the business

industry, now of helping others to have more money, have more impact,

have more time is like I'm doing that in my business and I'm sold on

what I'm doing.

::

You sell yourself on your services and your work first.

::

That's how you get so excited to invite people into your offers.

::

It's like you know what you've done, you know what you've created.

::

Like if you could just give your life lessons and process and

experience to someone else.

::

Like hey, I can come and work with me and that's why I'm not afraid to

sell every day.

::

That's why I'm not afraid to talk about my offers every day because I

know the impact.

::

I wake up every day to celebrations, my clients hitting 10K months,

K months, selling out $:

booking out retreats within five days.

::

I mean, the list goes on, and I had a lot of healing to do around

that, but then I learned I'm doing it myself.

::

That's a big enough testimony.

::

That's a big enough testimonial.

::

You live and lead with your life by experience 1st, and then you

invite other people to come get in the room with you.

::

Why?

::

Because they don't have to learn the same mistakes you did.

::

They don't have to go through all the things that you went through.

::

There is a shortcut and there is support like support in the mindset,

support in the embodiment to call you on your ish and support in

curating and crafting a strategy that you want.

::

I think at this quote you are the product of the five people that you

hang out with the most.

::

As entrepreneurs, as CE OS, as impact driven leaders.

::

It's important that we get ourselves in the room with other people who

are a few steps ahead with people that are a few steps behind, where

we get ourself in the room of others that have a vision like we do.

::

To create an unconventional life like success doesn't look one way.

::

There's so many ways to build and create success.

::

The goal now is for you to define what success means to you and then

build a life and your business around your life.

::

So what is brand awareness and why is it important for your business?

::

When I say brand awareness, like what comes up in your mind, Who or

what do you think of your brand is, how you stand out amongst the

crowd.

::

It's what you are known and recognized for in the think like ACEO

master class.

::

We talked a lot about my brand, my concept, looking at personal

values, life values, seeing if there's an overlapping, looking at your

personality and the way you live your life and how can that bleed and

attract the kind of business that you're creating.

::

So you never hit a space where you're not passionate about what you

do, where you don't hit burnout, but where you Co create your life and

your business together like the Costa Rica jungle.

::

Like how to really get clear on what is it that you do, What is it

that you talk about?

::

How is it that you serve, how is it that you support and how can you

begin to grow your brand?

::

How can you grow your brand?

::

What comes to mind when I say a brand that stacks stands out?

::

A brand that is known and recognized for something?

::

What are the words or images that just drop in your mind when you

envision the work that you're doing in the world?

::

For me, it's like barefoot money, happiness, naked babies on the beach

on the back of a motorcycle.

::

Freedom.

::

Freedom travel.

::

Airplanes overlooking the ocean, watching the sunset, salty feet,

coconuts in the hands.

::

What comes into the visualization for you if you're not driving right

now in your space and place that you can't close your eyes, what do

you help people with?

::

Is it finding balance around the foods that you eat and feeling good

when you put your clothes on?

::

Is it having a holy, sacred ceremony around your cycle and running

through the different phases of your business with your cycle?

::

Do you see yourself sitting in ceremony with women at a retreat?

::

Like what do you see and what words come through on how you want to be

known and recognized?

::

These two questions, write them down if you can.

::

How do you want people to feel when they come across your social media

content, your podcast, your website?

::

What do you want people to feel when they experience a live

transformation?

::

A like a live delivery like Instagram Live or Facebook live or live on

a podcast or live in a person workshop?

::

Like how do you want people to feel when they experience you and what

you're teaching on?

::

Educating, on coaching people through what is the feeling?

::

And when you think about that feeling, how can you transmit that

feeling through your energy, through your words, through

visualization, through color, like the green background of Costa Rica,

the blue waves in one of the paintings I have behind me when I'm

leading master classes?

::

Like, what do you want people to feel?

::

It's like for me it's like impact the waves of like a Whirlpool moving

of like you touch one person's life, that touches another person's

life, that touches another person's life.

::

And then it's like that.

::

I see global, like a globe, but for you and your brand.

::

How do you want people to feel when they come across you?

::

And then what is the overarching message of your content?

::

What do you talk about?

::

What do you express?

::

What do you transmit through your words and through the visualization

of reels in photos?

::

The brand visualization of the photo or the reel, the words, the

content.

::

Like what's the core message?

::

I think of Nike.

::

Just do it.

::

What's your core message?

::

I have 3:00 to 5:00.

::

You can pick three to five for amplified impact.

::

Amber Hagberg, It's time.

::

Freedom Financial freedom.

::

Freedom to live like a successful life.

::

Some clients come to me and they just want 3K months like if I could

just make 3K month like that's way more than I'm making now and I

don't have to work as much.

::

If I could amber just get to 50K months like what would what could

that look like?

::

How could we do that where I'm not working as much?

::

Everyone has their own definition of like what they want and need to

get by in what they desire based upon where they're going.

::

ACEO has a big vision, bird's eye view of like, where will we be in

three years, five years, 10 years, 20 years?

::

And I'm always talking about investing.

::

What it means to invest in devotion to prayer, to daily kundalini

practice, to awakening the energy within, investing in mentorship

therapy, getting your nails done, getting your hair colored, being

natural, eating well.

::

Like investing in your health and in your fulfillment and in your

happiness.

::

And what does it mean to be invested in mentorship and support like

sisterhood and making sure that I prioritize getting around and being

with other Mamas?

::

Like, so important to feel supported as a mom, to have a mentor and a

coach, to feel supported in the vision that I'm creating, the business

that I'm building.

::

Like, I talk about that a lot.

::

I talk about impact, putting clients first before I started talking

about money.

::

Money was a really, really edgy thing for me to talk about talking

about impact, that was easy.

::

I love celebrating because that's why I'm here.

::

I created my business as a yoga teacher, as a retreat leader because I

started is a very unhappy, depressed, overweight, numbing out.

::

Literally tried committing suicide twice.

::

So much pain from the childhood trauma.

::

And when I found yoga, it changed my life.

::

And then I was a struggling yoga teacher just wanting to give back to

the world.

::

And not by accident, I discovered the coaching industry.

::

And then I was like, Oh my gosh, you mean I can bring my gifts online,

make more money, have more impact and have more time?

::

What?

::

Teach me.

::

Tell me how that's not possible.

::

I don't believe that's.

::

But like, what if that's possible?

::

And that is how I got here.

::

It's an evolution.

::

And so these things are so important for me to talk about as well as

embodiment.

::

I talk about the times that I'm not embodied and the times that I am

embodied.

::

So when someone finds my posts or my content, the core message is

always going to be freedom and authenticity, that you can show up and

be who you are as you are a barefooted surfer, hippie Mama making

millions.

::

You can be anybody that you desire to be and show up as you are and

you will attract your soul tribe.

::

You will attract your soul tribe.

::

And so with these messages that were like there's an undercurrent of

the message.

::

And so as you want to expand your brand awareness and increase your

visibility, that means consistency, consistency in your energy, your

message and your content.

::

Notice that I don't say daily.

::

Notice that I don't give you X amount of time consistency.

::

You are building brand awareness and recognition around what

consistency means for you.

::

Some of my clients come to me and they're like Amber.

::

I never want to post as much as you and others are.

::

Like Amber, how do I post as much as you and I always am?

::

Like this can work in so many different ways and I want to help you

find the way that is soul aligned for you so that you can be the

embodiment of your message.

::

So you need to show up, share, and serve consistently, defining

consistently for you in order to build brand awareness and

recognition.

::

The more that you allow yourself to be known and seen, the more your

company grows.

::

And I don't just mean showing up.

::

I mean showing up and sharing your heart and your core message

unapologetically.

::

Not caring what your aunt thinks.

::

Not caring what your sister thinks.

::

Not caring what so and so thinks.

::

Doing this for you and your clients and your community that you are

growing and knowing that there is repellent.

::

You are putting on bug spray, literally for the people that are not a

match for you.

::

Wow.

::

You are putting on a fragrant organic lotion that is attracting the

perfect clients into your world.

::

And there are three ways to make this happen actually 4.

::

The first one is organic content.

::

Creating on social media, podcasting, growing your e-mail list,

showing up on different platforms across the board.

::

This can be YouTube, Facebook, social media, Twitter threads, you name

it.

::

You choose which one you're showing up on the most.

::

The one that you love.

::

Hone in on one platform and grow a community there that you are

actively communicating with, engaging, market, researching with, and

growing like a relationship with the community that you're building,

Talking back, responding, connecting, really getting to know who it is

in your world.

::

And then 2 is networking, networking.

::

Who do you know?

::

They say your net worth is your network.

::

So why I love mentorship and getting in masterminds and online courses

and going on retreats.

::

I meet amazing new best friends, clients, retreat leaders, etcetera.

::

It's the number one place that you really get to grow, who knows you

and what you do.

::

And then you have all of these little people out in the world knowing

who you are and what you do, and they start telling people about who

you are and what you do.

::

Connectors are a great thing to have, and that's not everyone's strong

suit.

::

Some people are really good at creating organic content and growing a

following on social media.

::

Others are really good at networking.

::

The other thing that you can do is collaboration.

::

Collaboration within people in your community, people that you know,

people in your network.

::

And as you're collaborating, you're giving your audience a different

taste, a different perspective and another expert sharing their voice,

their zona genius, while you then get to go be a part of their

community and share your skills and your expertise.

::

Network and collaboration are a great way to grow your community and

your business and also help others to grow their business and their

community.

::

And this is give and receive.

::

Doing swaps and collaborating is such an incredible way to grow.

::

And then finally is paid ads.

::

Paid ads is a really good thing to use once your organic strategy is

working and you're so crystal clear and dialed in on your marketing

and messaging.

::

So that way you're not paying to learn what it is you need to say and

who it is you're attracting.

::

In business, we're either paying with time or we're paying with money

or a blend of both, which is what I love to do.

::

Time and money, because I love time and I love money.

::

But sometimes it's faster to pay with money, and so organic.

::

First collaborate, network, and then when you have your messaging

dialed in, you can amplify that with apps.

::

Why is brand awareness important?

::

Do I need to launch my retreat for six weeks, six months, or one year?

::

If you are brand speaking new, but you have a huge network in a great

community, you don't need a lot of time at all.

::

If you're growing online and you have a huge following, you probably

don't need a lot of time at all.

::

If you are brand new, no one knows you, You don't have a big community

and you're just getting started.

::

You need a lot of time to build brand awareness.

::

I've had people watching my mastermind for years and being like I've

been following you for five years, and now I'm finally ready to join

your mastermind.

::

I've been dreaming of going on one of your retreats since you moved to

Costa Rica eight years ago, and I'm finally coming.

::

Brand awareness is people are building, getting to know who you are

and what you do in the moment that they're ready, they bought.

::

How do we grow our business?

::

More people know about what we're doing, so more people buy, which is

why a business is built on over time.

::

It doesn't just happen overnight.

::

Like, if you go to launch a retreat, it's your first retreat ever.

::

You sell it out and then it takes some time.

::

The next retreat, my question would be how much brand awareness and

relationship building and networking did you do in between those two

retreats?

::

If you're for the first time ever taking your gifts, your skills, your

services online, you just created your unique niche, your online

program and you talked about it for a week and no one bought and

you're sad.

::

I've been there too.

::

I talked about amplified impact in the beginning for eight weeks and

only three people signed up that year.

::

The next year, 24 people signed up the next year, the next year, the

next year.

::

It's how many people know about what you do, they watch, what you do,

when they're ready, they buy.

::

That's why brand awareness is so important.

::

Before you sell, while you're selling, and after you sell.

::

We are creating businesses that are based upon service transformation

and client relationships.

::

The more relationships that you have, the more people know brand

awareness, what you do, the more that your business grows and sells

out.

::

Make sure that what you take away today is that someone might need to

see your retreat or your offer 32 times before they buy.

::

Excuse me, are you willing to send out that many emails to show up

that many times in stories to do this until it sells out?

::

And work on those four avenues for Forever always.

::

It might just be the first three in the beginning Organic content

network.

::

Collaborate.

::

Once you have those dialed in the skills you've enhanced and grew and

mastered and refined, then take your business money and put it back

behind ads and get some of your time back to reach more people.

::

Brand awareness is huge for your business and that's why the business

that we grow is a baby.

::

It's a little garden and it's something that needs tended to every

single day.

::

A little bit of sunshine, a little bit of water, a little bit of

space.

::

Brand awareness is really like the sunshine, the water to the already

planted seeds.

::

And every day I plant a new seed of brand awareness and give it a

little bit of water, a little bit of attention.

::

And I'm excited to hear what really lands and resonates with you.

::
