The post Insights From Re-Blooming My Business appeared first on Allison Crow.

Over the last 18 years, specifically coaching, I have worked with so many business owners.

Thousands and thousands of business owners everywhere from brand new business owners learning how to do things to business owners in achievement phase.

These days I tend to work with extremely experienced high revenue business owners. 
I also work with caring people.

I work with people who are heart-centered, who have passion, & who care.

Most of my clients might say, or at some point say, it’s not about the money.
Listen at one point I said it’s not about the money and I’ll never forget my close friend that said, “Oh yes it is.” 

Let me tell you why.

Love,

Allison

The post It’s not about the Money or is it A math message for heart-centered business owners. appeared first on Allison Crow.

I disagree.

When I really self-connect with the feeling parts of me, I get the BEST and TRUEST wisdom… I get information about what’s UNDER the feeling and emotion. Emotions are the means of getting my attention so that I might slow down to get curious and go deeper.

Even the deep pangs of loss and grief are my teachers and give me hope I wouldn’t have without the loss. Being willing to feel all the way to the edges of this human condition is giving me life!

Here’s what I sense for me for the coming year:

Yet, ANOTHER deeper layer of truly being ME – without the masks. Embracing my quirks of using so many words instead of being concise as a speaker and teacher. Living in my unfilteredness MORE instead of less because I feel shame put on my by the world’s SHOULDS.

Yesterday I was hit with a wave of business grief when listening to a podcast with Brene Brown, Adam Grant, and Simon Sinek. A younger part of me has longed for “notoriety” and success like they have for years. But wanting and having are two different things. And my reasons for wanting that have been healed more and more. I wanted that to feel significant. But now that I FEEL significant from within, I sense no need or desire for that and I certainly don’t want the effort and complexity of that much BIGNESS.

On that podcast, I was struck by two terms – and I’m stealing them and putting them in my own context.
Maker and Manager.

Having that much bigness requires a large portion of “managerness” just for function. And my system doesn’t function well at all with that much “managerness.” Even with leveraged help, my brain stalls with so much mental load.

I am a MAKER! Not a manager. I am a creator and a creative. I am sensitive and tender. I require excessive space to really thrive. I do love ideas, and coaching, and teaching, and writing, and making art. I crave connection and belonging more than scale.

Even though for years I have been living in my authentic self – there is another layer that has yet to surrender to who I AM instead of the pressure I take on to be.

Here’s a really private thought: Do you know how subconsciously I feel so much shame about my coaching income That I haven’t doubled or grown beyond what I make.

There are so many big swinging dicks blasting their million dollar + revenue in my professional world, and there is always the lure and pressure of scaling. Many of my own client’s incomes surpass my own.

What’s funny is – I’ve sustained a solid 175-210k a year gross for all but 2 of my years in this industry (the first year and the first year I went out on my own were both below 100k). Even this year, when I didn’t sell shit for the last 7 months of the year because I had to take care of personal things more than business – I thought my business would suffer – the money still came in. I usually net about 50% of that. This year my business will net less due to book and event expenses. My living expenses are deliciously low, and somehow my savings helped cover hospital and vet bills out the wazoo this year.

And my brain has been conditioned that that is NOT ENOUGH. Can you imagine being ashamed of that?
The fact that I have had a sustainable coaching practice for almost 20 years is an INCREDIBLE accomplishment. And I am done with the not-enoughness. I’m am done with MORE MORE MORE….

I wanna MAKE MAKE MAKE, Create Create Create, Play Play Play, and Connect, Connect Connect.
I wanna cultivate connection and be in my humanness – not drive drive drive. I wanna trust myself more than I ever have – 2023 has shown me that I CAN.
I wanna be in the PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE of living and creating to the wild edges of being human. I’d love to start speaking on stages again – as long as I am free to be me- no filters. I’d love to get paid for writing, and I’d love delicious coaching partnerships. I’ll keep getting paid for lots of the work I create and the help I offer. It’s just what I do. The significance and abundance I thought I didn’t have – has been in me all along.

As my husband once said so wisely, “Allison, I love that you are into growth and change- it’s one of the reasons I fell in love with you. But you try so hard to grow, I don’t try to grow at all and I still do.”

It’s been here on my wall all along on this poster. And as my system does, it starts in my cognitive brain, and slowly through space and practice it becomes REAL in my whole body and nervous system.

AND SO IT IS.

The post Recovering Overachiever Complete appeared first on Allison Crow.

Yes, I have invested in myself and my business – things that cost money: It’s almost obscene how much I spend on personal and professional and personal development and have for years:

 

• Coaching, reading, classes, learning, therapy, art supplies, black writing pens and journals, and more coaching – business coaching, money coaching, book coaching, profit first coaching, money coaching, creative coaching, IFS coaching, sales coaching – that’s what I can think of off-hand.

 

What I really invest in is Time on task:

Time spent doing my nourishing habits (reading, writing, moving my body, journaling, parts work, drinking water, etc.).

Time spent sharing my heart and showing my work – thinking and doing things that hopefully serve my audience and clients.

Time Practicing my skills in real-time – not waiting until things are perfect. (The hours – and I mean HOURS I spent coaching my ass off and doing IFS as a coach, client and student have been more effective than any class or training).

Time resting and recovering and NOT working.

Time learning how to allocate and track my money. This year I’m taking my books back from my bookkeeper to master the daily nuances of my finances- more Time spent ahead).

Time serving clients, Time making offers.

Time doing the learning and then DOING what I learn.

Time writing – every single day. Making it just what I do.

Time healing my nervous system

Time doing boring stuff – no one sees over and over and over and over.

and, yes, time-wasting (playing dumb video games, watching tv, trolling on Twitter, to name a few). Time to recover from all the time I invest doing Time on task stuff.

 

Love, Allison

The post How did I do it Secrets to Making Your Dreams Happen. appeared first on Allison Crow.

Hello Soul-Full business owners.

There are all kinds of business owners out there and as long as people are ethical, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the different kinds of business owners. I want to share an insight, especially for you heart centered business owners who also want to do well in your business.

Fall in love with your work again and that will solve all your marketing problems. 

When I focus on the work, my clients, sharing my heart & showing my work, learning my work, embodying my work. When that’s the focus, I am inspired to build my business and to make offerings and to help people.

When I focus on what energizes me according to my personal values it increases my income.

My business building focus check today is: Readjust your focus and your priorities.

Focus on the work and the joy will come

When I love my work, I do all the things I already know how to do to build a million dollar business.

There’s a whole new wave of people who build a business to be doing work they love and earning money and I just want you to check in about your values and priorities. Valuing money first is not a problem if that’s your true value, if money is important to you, but if the work is more important to you, focus on the work and it will motivate you to make the money.

My second:  Create an excitement list, a focus list. What do I want to focus?nbsp;

It is so easy to sell something that you are passionately in love with. 

It is so easy for all the marketing to come up when you are energized and made alive by the work that you love that you are in love with. 

I created a 2022 excitement list. What am I excited about?

I have created more for my business. I have gotten more accomplished behind the scenes and the front of scenes from this one list and do you know there is not a to-do on this. 

Please set your goals based on excitement and creativity and joy and not performance. 

What is  your priority Which one is your north star For me, my north star is the work that I love

Create from your joy, your love, your interests, your values, instead of from your needing to prove yourself.

Love,

Allison

The post Business Focus Check and an Excitement List appeared first on Allison Crow.

I’ve been in business for 17 years. 

17 years I’ve learned and unlearned and found a framework that’s worked for me. 

It’s one that allows me to keep myself balanced and sane and focused in my business. 

It’s one you can use too. 

It simply cultivates both the BEING and the DOING in our lives so we can really get to the secret sauce of what we have to offer this world. 

I’m giving you a quick rundown of this framework in this show, specifically I’ll share with you: 

1:01 – An announcement of my NEW masterclass (March 13,2021 – contact me if you want in)

2:03 – A deep dive into this business model that I use, starting with the “BEING” side

8:02 –  A look at the 4 pieces of the “DOING” side that creates a successful business

10:54 – How I want us to reclaim sales 

16:17 – How you can go deeper into all of these ideas 

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but it’s been the greatest framework for myself and my clients – would love to know what insights it brought forth for you.

Are you ready to take aligned action (aka be a DOER) in your business?nbsp;

If you are as ambitious as I think you are, I bet the answer is yes. 

Sometimes we get stuck in the “BE” part of ourselves, dreaming of our desires and who we are becoming that we disconnect from the DO part. 

I offer you my knowledge and support in how you can enjoy both the BE and the DO (and the HAVE) in this episode. 

Specifically, I’ll share with you:

1:14: The “Be, Do, Have” framework

2:26: What I want us authentic and ambitious people to “take back” that will actually help us create in our life and work

4:15: How we can create more aligned ambition and achievement 

6:41: What I do when I’m really committed

11:29: Some of the ways I sell in an aligned way

13:25: My prayer and hope for you for this new year

14:01 A question for you to ask to help you become a more aligned DOER

You CAN be authentic and ambitious AND A DOER. 

Ready for more?nbsp;

You can join me inside Soul-Full Success, my coaching membership full of other authentic and ambitious DOERs, now to go deeper during our weekly life and biz calls!

I’m baaaack. 

Y’all I had a great September Sabbatical, if you follow me on Instagram, you saw I enjoyed lots of time with family, at the lake, and enjoying the outside. 

I’m feeling refreshed and so ready to dive back in fully and deeply with you all. 

In fact, I was so excited to return, I even recorded this week’s podcast episode a bit earlier than normal! How’s that for restored and ready to go?

I did so because I was inspired to share some behind the scenes with you. Usually I do this just with my Soulies (members of my Soul-Full Success monthly coaching membership). I break down my life and biz to share the lessons I’m learning with them. 

But this week I wanted to share these behind the scenes with you too. After the passing of RBG, the debate, and other things I am experiencing that I share on the show, I felt I had a lot to offer that may be helpful for you too. 

Tune in to hear some killer RBG quotes and what I think they mean for us moving forward, baby tips on aging (it’s relevant I swear), some money mindset stuff, and a few other topics you might relate to. 

I’m learning to just let be what will BE. Listen in to join me on that adventure. 

Love,

Let’s have a quick convo about monetization…

Specifically I want to speak with you about monetizing the help you get in your business. 

Since deciding I am a CEO that allows high level help, I’ve learned some things to consider in hiring out that I want to share with you on the podcast so you don’t have to experience the expense I did. 

The core takeaway I hope for you is that you learn to make delegating decisions so that the help you hire helps you profit. 

I’ll share with you the questions to ask when you are growing and considering getting help and I even through in a few fun analogies (a double patty hamburger may or may not be one of them – can you tell I follow a Ketoish diet?!)

Learn from the lessons I’ve gained in hiring, take it all in in this episode, and then I’d love any hiring lessons you’ve learned over the years, there have to be some fun stories there! Head on over to Facebook or Instagram to share yours with me. 

Love, 

Your Favorite Life Coach, 

Allison Crow
