Ep. # 259: How to Use Inspired Action to Build Your Business
Content
Listen to this episode here:
If you’re in business, you’re usually taught to develop an idea, do some research on how to market it, and then write some copy to sell it.
Oh, and hope people sign up or buy.
For coaches, especially those that are Law of Attraction minded, it can feel challenging to integrate the Law of Attraction piece with the traditional business advice.
Jeanne tried to follow traditional business advice for years, and none of the advice she followed led her to the clients she desired.
Join your host Cassie Parks as Jeanne Andrus, the Menopause Guru, again joins her, and they dive deep into how Jeanne found and connected with the clients she has always wanted using the Law of Attraction.
Cassie and Jeanne discuss how Jeanne has allowed her Future Self to lead her to her clients, build the business she truly wants, and go into detail about what that process looked like.
They dive deep into how they started using a symptom by symptom basis to bring clients into Jeanne’s business and how that led to Jeanne creating something that is useful to just about anyone on their Menopause Journey.
If you are tired of following the same old business advice and not seeing the results you desire, then this episode is for you!!!!

30:52: Cassie asks Jeanne if she would have forced moving ahead with the cleanse and fixing everything if it would be as good as it is now.
31:04: Jeanne admits that it wouldn't be because she would have been focused on mechanics and not what she knows Deb and her clients need.
31:25: Jeanne talks about how she keeps simplifying things, increasing communication, and letting go of rules to make sure her clients have what they need and not focused on perfection.
32:02: Cassie tells Jeanne that's a massive shift.
32:04: Jeanne admits that she is realizing that as she works with more people that a lot of what her clients need is a mental shift that will allow them to make the shifts that will change their health.
32:38: Jeanne talks about how some of it is the food you eat, but a lot of it is loving and taking care of yourself.
32:58: Jeanne discusses that the menopause journey can take as long as 20 to 30 years, and that is a long time that you need to be committed to taking care of yourself.
33:18: Cassie talks about how she heard so much growth from Jeanne because, in the past, she always wanted to give people a bunch of harsh rules to follow, and now she is in the space of offering a starting place for people and then offering to help them create their plan that will support them for the next 20 to 30 years.
34:12: Jeanne talks about how her clients are at all stages of their journey and how it is different to support each of them.

35:40: Jeanne talks about if you are used to exercising a lot, it may be challenging because she really wants you to take a step back and take care of yourself for 5 days.
36:00: Jeanne talks about how the cleanse is a starting point, that you can adjust it for you, or you can reach out to her, and she will help you customize it to fit your needs.
36:18: Cassie talks about if you relate to Deb, the cleanse would be great for you.
36:46: Cassie asks Jeanne what advice she would give someone who is on the journey to their Future Self in 5 years and how they can use that to connect with their clients today.
37:02: Jeanne discusses that as you connect with your client today, you know that your Future Self has already connected with their clients.
37:15: Jeanne talks about that if your Future Self is telling you you are doing something wrong, you need to listen to her, and how if you hear that you can't do it, it is not your Future Self your hearing, you are hearing something else www.menopause.guru
37:46: Jeanne talks about how your Future Self has been through all of this, and all you have to do is follow the path she paved.
