Tea and Tech with Jennifer9. Building Your Packages with LegosI spend a lot of time playing Legos with my 5-year-old daughter. Recently, with some advice from my coach Pia Silva, I had the realization that service providers should build their packages like Lego houses. Some clients just need a little shack, and they would need your "small" package.Some will need a farmhouse, and they would need your "medium" package.Some will need a castle, and they would need your "large" package.Definitely list your prices on your website, but don't box yourself in or exclude potential clients by making an exhaustive l...2022-02-0800 min

Tea and Tech with Jennifer7. Software Tools, Oh My!One of my favorite topics is software tools. As a software engineer and brand and website designer, I live and breathe software. It's easy to get excited about new, shiny tools, but before making the leap, think about a few things first:Does it fit into your budget? If the tool costs more than your revenue, don't get it!Are you going to use most of the features? Is it going to make your experience better? What about your client's experience?How is the tool when you use it? Is the interface intuitive to you? This is when it's...2022-01-1800 min
Tea and Tech with Jennifer6. Coaching Mistakes To AvoidHow many coaches have you hired to help you in your business?

Mine started with custom crafts on Etsy. Then, I stumbled on Dotcom Secrets by Russel Brunson and I felt like with the right funnel, anything was possible.Now that I've had some experience with funnels as a service provider, the "standard" funnel isn't as simple as seems. Collecting leads with a free or low cost offer then moving them through to the highest cost offer isn't the way it really works with service providers.I've found th...2022-01-0400 min

These terms get thrown around a lot, used interchangeably, and used wrong so that just adds to the confusion.A Strategist will help you get super clear on the plan for your business. A strategist is always looking for an actionable plan, exactly what the next steps are, and what direction you want to move into.A Consultant will take something specific off of your plate. This is where service providers fit in, managing one specific area...2021-12-0700 min
