Momentum Coach I Katie Craig
Imma ruffle some feathers with this one probably. Imma ruffle some feathers with this one probably.

I WANT TO STOP MAKING PROMISES.

Yes, I have a marketing background.
Yes, I know promises sell.

The problem is … with the big promises in marketing these days … we sometimes unconsciously set an unrealistic shame cycle and expectation for our clients.

If I promise you’ll be making six figures in your business (which you’ll never hear me say), and you don’t reach that goal, then we’ve just sparked a cycle of:
- shame: that you didn’t “accomplish” what was promised.
- frustration: that you didn’t get out of coaching what you were sold.
- disappointment: in yourself that you didn’t “do it the right way.”
- avoidance: of other programs out of fear that they won’t work.

Gross. Let’s not, thanks.

I know that in marketing language, in order to actually connect with our clients, we need to discuss outcomes, but the sticky part is that we are sharing what could be possible if you implement the tools being taught. That doesn’t mean every client will take action in the same way and get the same results or take action AT ALL!

I much prefer the honest truth of outcome possibilities, education on tools available, added guidance, accountability, and support for those inevitable moments when you do get stuck or experience fear. 

You DO have to take action. And, there ARE very foundational things that create momentum - for every business. But there is NO magic process that makes you a six figure business owner. YOU create that by exploring methods and diving into the way that works best for you. 

You’ll get much farther, much faster, without the burden of some massive promise hanging over your head.

Let your journey to success be YOUR journey to success. What do you think?

Pause for a moment. Ask yourself what habits you t Pause for a moment. Ask yourself what habits you tend to fall into again and again and again that hold you back.

Don't focus on the specific people or events. Instead, look at the undercurrent of the habit.

Do you let people in or just handle everything yourself?
Do the same events keep happening? Are they positive or negative?
Do you pick a fight or have a conversation?
Do you prioritize balance or busy-ness?
Do you put your happiness first or last?
Do you avoid or seek out the ones you love?

Then ask yourself - how much positive energy are you willing to allow into your life?

Are you creating chaos to avoid the good stuff?

Curious how SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can h Curious how SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can help optimize your blog posts? 

By optimizing your posts for SEO, you can improve your search engine rankings and get more traffic to your website. This means people searching on google can find YOU! 

But you have to think like a search engine. There is SO MUCH content on the web these days, you have to be strategic about how you write. 

Here are 4 core steps on how to start improving your SEO: 

1. Download the Yoast SEO Plugin if you're on WordPress. If you're not on WordPress, check to see if your web platform allows for search engine optimization. 

2. Choose a key phrase your ideal clients would search to find your blog. Write for that phrase. 

3. Use your key phrase in your title (up front). 2-3 times in the blog. In your meta description. And in your alt tag. 

4. Ask referral partners to link back to your blog as a resource in their blogs. 

Do you find this helpful? Let us know in the comment section below. 

Want a training on how to do this? I'm considering creating one! Give me a 🙌 in the comments if so!

I have a wicked inner critic. She’s mean and jud I have a wicked inner critic. She’s mean and judgey and she encourages me to play the comparison game all the time.

She shows up when …
someone else launches something amazing.
I feel out of ideas.
I make a mistake.
I am learning something new.
A client asks a question I don’t have an answer to.

She tells me that I’m …
Stupid.
Incapable.
Unworthy.
Falling behind.
An embarrassment.
Silly for continuing on.

Every day, I work to get to know her. I try to understand her insecurities. I try to treat this side of me with love. I listen to her and help her understand that we are still learning. That we don’t actually have to have all of the answers. We learn, we try, we move forward. We fail. We stumble. We get up, we learn, we implement, we try again. This is life. It’s OK to make mistakes.

I try to soothe her by letting her know that I don’t judge her by what we didn’t know. Like Maya Angelou always said … “once you know better, do better.”

Do you have an inner critic, too? What can you do to soothe that voice? To pick yourself up and try again with new, valuable information? You are whole with all of your parts - positive and fearful. Honor them all. Listen to them all. Let them be seen and heard and understood. This is part of your new learning and growth.

When I graduated with a graphic design degree, I k When I graduated with a graphic design degree, I knew it wouldn’t be my gig forever. I enjoyed it and it entertained me, but I knew there was something more. 

After a few years and some serious burnout, I started researching my options. Exploring what I felt was missing. Putting the pieces of my passions together to decide what I wanted next. I stumbled upon the field of coaching 14 years ago. I didn’t know it existed before I started looking. 

So if you're feeling restless, consider what else might be possible for you that maybe you don’t even know exists yet.

Ask yourself ... if you are doing the same thing in 10 years as you are today ... would you be happy? (Current world situation aside) 

If not, today is the best time to put change in motion. Start asking questions. Researching. Exploring what could be possible. Revv up your momentum. Vroom vroom!

What’s changed for you in the last year? I’m What’s changed for you in the last year? 
I’m stubborn. **Like, really stubborn**

 I love to figure things out on my own.  I’ve spent years and years googling and teaching myself business practices, marketing ideas, brand trends, and tech solutions. 

Eventually I got tired. Of all the things. But especially doing it on my own.  I’ve invested in my team. I’ve invested in my education. I’ve invested in courses and training. 

I’ve invested in coaches to help me. And I’ve grown so much (personally and financially) from making those investments. 

So the next time you think you aren't ""there yet"" ... just remember you are somewhere. 

And that somewhere is exactly where you to be to inspire you to step into what you want to become. 

Keep taking steps. Keep asking questions. Keep asking for help. By doing this, you're guaranteed to be in a better place this time next year.  Craving help and support right now as you read this? 

Check out my training library (link in my bio). 

You'll be tapping into over 14 years of knowledge and training in ... 
🚀 coaching 
🚀 graphic design 
🚀 web design 
🚀 and marketing 

No matter what, remember that you are worthy of success. 

You are smart. Diligent. Ready for growth. And, ON YOUR WAY.

𝗦𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲!

My clients are often surprised by how wrung out they feel at the end of the process. And, not wrung out in a 'this was horrible, I'm burnt out and I never want to do this again' type of way. It's never "just creating a website" when you work with me. 

The process always ends in a 'wow, I understand myself so much more and am feeling so fully aligned with my purpose' type of way. 

These are just a few things to remember about creating or re-creating a new website: 
✨ You are re-becoming. This brings up a lot of inner work on visibility and alignment. Remember that you are letting go of a previous version of yourself and evolving into something even greater. Don't forget that you get a training coach AND designer with me. 

🕯 It can be uncomfortable to spotlight your gifts. No matter how much you believe in them. I'll give you permission to own them, to brag about them (with grace, of course), and to spotlight them.

⚡️ Change can be hard. You're likely shifting systems, content, and offers. It's a lot of change and while it's exciting, it can also be uncomfortable. We'll help you pick the right systems and learn how to use them.

🌤 There is no rush. I have learned that with these projects comes a divine timeline. We may hit bumps or setbacks. You may experience writer's block or distraction. It is all divinely timed to release the new you out into the world in perfect tempo with the Universe's plan for you.

If your potential clients are getting flooded with If your potential clients are getting flooded with all you offer and not sure what is right for them, then you need to simplify!

And, I already know that you are worried about leaving someone or something out if you simplify your offers. I get it! But I can assure you that all of your amazing skills will still be utilized. You just don't necessarily need to advertise and market ALL of them upfront.

So how does this work?
1. Think of your current array of offerings as skills. Combine those skills into a package to solve a problem. Sell that solution ... customize for each client using your skills *within* the package.

Hone in on the main skills your clients truly transform from and ask for. Make those the priority and transition the others to add-ons or included in the packaged solution you're selling.

Instead of overwhelming new clients with a huge menu of offerings, include add ons or specialties as you see they are needed in your sales calls. 

Remember there's no one size fits all solution. Leave room for personalization in your offers. You can keep your marketing language general enough to speak to the problem you solve, while still being able to create a ""custom"" package within your framework for each potential client as you meet with them. Not sure how?

Happy Father’s Day to all the great fathers and Happy Father’s Day to all the great fathers and father figures out there! While many say it’s a Hallmark holiday, I do love that we get a day to acknowledge and celebrate the Fathers who give their all to their families. It’s an often thankless job and I know it can be a tough to “get it right.” I see you trying. And I see so much you are doing right. 

And to those of you who are struggling to put on a smile today, I see you too. <3 Whether you’ve just lost your Father (you know who you are *giant hugs and love to you on this difficult day*), you wanted so badly to be a Father or you said goodbye to your Father many years ago … today is not an easy reminder of your pain and your struggle. My love is with you, even if I don’t know your full story. 

I know we all have father figures today that we can celebrate. Whether quietly or loudly, my hat tip is to those who lead the way and share the load today and every day.

My daughter has hit every.single.regression.known. My daughter has hit every.single.regression.known.to.kids. Leading up to our vacation last week, she wasn’t sleeping well. Kicking and fighting to go to bed, then waking up in the middle of the night crying for us. After two days on vacation, she took a marathon 3 hour nap (very unlike her). I knew this was signaling the end of the regression. I have come to learn the pattern. She slept like an angel the remainder of the trip. 

Business (and life) are kind of like this, aren’t they? In my early days in business, I struggled to find clients. I worked on dialing in my message and offers. Then, I finally nailed it and started booking consistent clients. Getting referrals. Feeling the inspiration to write blogs and newsletters. 

A few years later, I felt the tug to shift what I was offering a bit. A restlessness. Then, I struggled to “start again” as I honed in on my revised message and offers. Exploring the inspiration I was feeling to start something new. I had a foundation set, which helped, but new offers require new thinking, too. I did it and started booking consistent clients. 

A few years after that, I felt that all familiar tug once again. And, once again, reworked my messaging and my offers to be more aligned with what I was being called to work on. And, again, shifted and flexed to call in the right customers and form the right offers for them. 

My point is that your business is cycling just like you are in life. You will cycle through times where you are dialed in and comfortable. You will cycle through times where business feels slow and pokey, craving a change. Then times where you feel like you are shedding your skin. It’s uncomfortable, exciting, and raw.

Motivation is right at your fingertips. Me? I’ Motivation is right at your fingertips. 

Me? I’m an avid reader. These are just a few of my favorites.

Not a reader yourself? Try listening to podcasts, watching vlogs, enjoying a motivational movie. AKA **get out of your head**

We all need pick-me-ups from time to time. Contrary to popular belief (and my often positive perspective), I have to work everyday at maintaining a positive mindset. 

My meter falls just short of happy go lucky 😂  Especially when it comes to myself. 

When it comes to others, it’s easy...I see your potential and your path so clearly. 

It’s so much harder when I turn the mirror on myself. So, I practice and I work hard at motivating myself, continuing to learn, challenging myself and training my mind to stay positive. 💪

That way I’m in peak shape for YOU when you need the best coaching.

And I have my own secret arsenal of support people and tools when I need the big guns. 

Even coaches have bad days, weeks and years! 😂😂 Keep seeking - every answer (even if it’s not the one you were looking for) will lead you down the next step in your path. 💗

I used to feel guilty taking time off. Every vaca I used to feel guilty taking time off.

Every vacation I would sneak in work, or just plain work during it. I was nervous to tell my clients I would be out of the office. I always had projects active and felt like it would cause concern if I was out of the office for a whole week.

Before cell phones and texting became everyone's means of communication, I would have to force myself (I say that lightly, I loved it) to vacation in places off the grid without internet or cell service. If I did that, I couldn't panic at someone's urgent request or work at all.

Slowly, I practiced easing myself into my vacations. Letting my clients know, but secretly working on a project or two that was active. Eventually, I only responded to urgent requests my team fielded versus checking anything myself.

A lot of people don't think about the fact that business owners don't get paid for vacation and often don't have anyone to handle things while they're gone. It can be stressful and lead to feeling guilt for ever taking time off.

Please let me assure you that when you allow your brain to rest, you gain access to a whole new level of creativity and productivity. You need to rest! This time for you is vital to your wellbeing. When you truly take time off, you will return more in tune with yourself, what you want for your life and business, and more in tune with the projects and clients that you're working with.

And business will go on. Even without for a few days or a week. Even a few months if you need it. Just do a little upfront planning and you can do it, I promise.

So, now tell me - where is your next vacation? 🤩
It's easy to get caught up in all of the things we It's easy to get caught up in all of the things we have to do. I try to stay grounded and productive each day by paying attention to the three essentials on my desk - My rocket book, my computer, and my extra monitor.

✨ My rocket book - one of the best tools I have! I am a notebook junkie with notes that end up evvveerrrrywhere. Rocketbook allows me to write notes, scan the pages into folders in my documents in the cloud and then erase and re-use them. This means ONE notebook to rule them all! It can even convert my handwriting into a word doc if I write legible enough 😉 

✨ My computer - duh. Taking on the roles of tech support, coach, website and print designer ... I need my computer. It's the lifeline of my business. I work with a variety of clients all over the country and abroad so it's a must have. 

✨My extra monitor- look y'all, I'm 40. That means this girl's eyesight is going downhill fast. Being on a computer all day doesn't help so my extra monitor helps me organize my docs, compare designs, and increase my viewing screen to save my little old eyes. The blue light glasses over there help, too 😉 

✨BONUS item: my BREATHE. pencil cup. It's amazing how many times I look at that each day for my reminder 😉 

How about you? Share your top three things on your desk that are very essential to you in the comments!

Nailing your positioning statement is one of the m Nailing your positioning statement is one of the most important things you can do for your business. It provides clarity for you on what you offer and an action path for your potential clients. 

Nailing your positioning statement can also be the hard. How do you sum up your life’s work in one short statement or paragraph? That’s a tall order! There are a few things to remember when creating a positioning statement and appealing to your audience. 

🚫 DON’T overwhelm clients with the root of their issue if they haven’t identified that yet.

✅ DO meet your clients where they are when they start the process with you.

🚫 DON’T use vague or overused language. (Think: empowerment, peace, flow, etc)

✅ DO lean into the language you hear your clients use all the time.

🚫 DON’T talk about yourself in your positioning statement. 

✅ DO make your statement about the transformation your clients will experience.
