I haven’t yet finalized my numbers for 2018, but I know that Starland Coaching either doubled or tripled it’s income once again. As I sit here writing, I have my hand on my heart because I feel so full of gratitude for the growth we experienced this year. Not just measured in dollars but in its ripple of community impact as well.

Today, I want to explain how you too can massively uplevel your business in 2019– but before I begin, I must be transparent. I’ll be sharing the front-end details of how to make this happen, but I need say first that if you want to uplevel next year, you’ll have to take consistent action and address both your business and your mindset. Quite frankly, the internal work (takings fears, doubts, insecurities) makes up 80% of the game.

So, shall we begin?

At the forefront of my growth in 2018 were: new income streams, social media managing support, an increase in my prices, a brand-spanking-new website and membership site, 2 additional launches, massive community growth, more strategic ad spending, a new ad strategist, more consistency around content and email marketing, overcoming lots of disappointments, and a truly incredible business coach by my side.

Here’s what I need you know, these will almost surely NOT look the same for you. Every single business upleveling phase is as unique as a fingerprint. The only reason why I’m sharing mine is so that you can get an idea that if you want your business to grow sustainably, you’ll need to do BIG and different things.

Now let’s switch over to the mindset part…

The internal work that helped me uplevel in 2018 included a laser focus on each project or launch, starting AND finishing 80% of my projects, not letting rejection keep me stuck, detaching from the outcomes of things (because SO many things didn’t go as I expected them to), investing more than what I felt comfortable investing, hiring more team members without knowing if I could sustain them, working with an incredible coach when I needed it most, driving myself to therapy when my anxiety was at an all time high, forgiving a lot of people, not letting others’ problems, decisions, beliefs, or consequences get to me, following my gut even when it felt wrenching, seeking less approval, lots of journaling, tons of meditation, a plethora of videos, showing up even when I didn’t “feel like it”, stepping out of my comfort zone, not playing small, believing I was worthy and capable, getting clear on where I wanted to go, flexibility of things unfolded, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, letting go of the expectation that it was going to be easy at all times.

So now that you have an itty-bitty idea of what it took for me to uplevel in 2018, I want to tell you exactly what you need to do if you want to see the same kind of results in your business for 2019.

There are 3 things you have to do- and you have to do them well:

  • Commit to your growth and success like you’ve never have before

This means you need to drop the excuses and treat your business like a priority. Don’t have time? Wake up earlier. Don’t have money? Get a part-time job. You don’t know how to make it happen? Hire a *good* business coach. Something didn’t work out? Find a solution. Your launch flopped? Learn from it and launch again. You’re scared? Do it anyway.

  • Create solid strategies that work for you and stick to them

This means if you decide to promote discovery calls in January, you can’t shift your attention to creating a course two days into your plan. You’ve got to keep pushing even when it feels like things are not working. It’s not just about thinking or planning to do things, it’s about doing them exceptionally well and with consistent conviction.

  • Believe in yourself wholeheartedly and move forward with confidence

This is that 80% of the game thing I was talking about. This is where you keep pushing even if you’re scared. This is where you dissect your old habits and beliefs so you can reconstruct a new version of you. This is where you build your confidence one step at the time and constantly enhance your mindset. This is where you don’t let your fears stop you. This is where you do A LOT of work toward dropping the habits that have kept you stuck for far too long.

There you have it! Obviously there is much more to be explored and added to this, but these are the main foundations that can help you uplevel next year.
