Key takeaways from this episode:
Women resist doing business because they've been programmed to believe that it needs to be hard. We are very much wired o expect instant gratification and results in a world where it is praised which results in overcomplicating things. Be aware of the reason why you want things to be hard in your business and redirect it. It is more efficient and productive to have just one offer, one ideal client, one message, one strategy, and one platform. Many people are complicating things by creating more and more offers and strategies and it's taking up so much of their time and energy. The secret code and formula are within you. You are the code and the formula. The 3 objectives of destination events in a Facebook Group: To grow, to pre-sell, and to sell. There will always be a need for Facebook and a need for people to be in a community with one another. One strategy can work if you decide that it is going to work. Simplicity starts with a decision to let something be simple even though that's going to be the most challenging part about it. There are different phases and seasons to business and you don't need everything for your business in one season. Relationships are what's going to lead to clients.

More about Ruth:
Hi, I’m Ruth, a business coach specializing in helping freelancers and business owners adjust their mindset and their marketing so they can get fully booked with clients they LOVE to work with. I’ve helped hundreds of self-employed women achieve the time and money freedom they craved.
I’ve started this podcast because when I first went all in and left the corporate world to be a freelancer, I was grateful for any work that came my way. After over 20 years of freelancing and working for other people, I started to realize I’d created a glass ceiling for myself.
In 2017, I finally started listening to that voice that had been telling me for a long time that I wasn’t doing what I loved and fulfilling my true potential. It took a critical illness to give me that wake-up call. I don’t want the same to happen to you.
You can expect practical advice, inspiring stories, and a lot of aha moments as we uncover and kick to the curb all the obstacles you have been putting in your way.
I’m on a mission to inspire women to start and play bigger in business.
