Today is my 33rd birthday. Earlier this month I had 333 women move through the Design Your Life Challenge™ with me, and as you know I have a 3-day workweek.

Things are lining up, wouldn’t you say?!

In celebration of today, I wanted to give you something that I hope will be immensely useful to you -- my Phases of Business Framework.


 

LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST EPISODE:

 

 

The Phases of Business Framework is a super helpful e-book that breaks down the stages of business growth so that you can clearly understand what phase you are in now and map out a clear plan to move on to the next. The e-book includes an in-depth profile of each phase as well as tips and resources to help you progress on to the next (and better!) phase.

In case you haven’t heard me speak on this topic before, here’s a sneak peek at the framework:

Seem fun + helpful? I hope so!


What Phase of Business you are in?


For me, knowing which Phase of Business I’m in feels really good and empowering because I’m reminded that it’s just a phase!! And no phase lasts forever -- it’s just a stepping stone on the path to success!

Plus, when you realize what the next phase holds for you, it becomes that much easier to align yourself with it and get there. You’ve got this :-)

Happy day to you!

P.S. If you’re in the Doing Phase and having steady $3K months, I’d love to help you scale to 6-figures in 2019. I’m putting together an intimate, high-level mastermind to help you move from Doing to Flowing. If that sounds like something that would serve you, and you’re ready for this kind of support, let’s chat.

My journey from $3K Months to 6-Figure Year

 
The 3DWW Podcast (2).png
 
 

Today I wanted to share with you my journey from $3K months to my first 6-figure year.

I personally always find it immensely helpful whenever someone shares their story, and I hope in sharing mine it’s helpful to you.

I know many of you have probably heard bits and pieces of it before, but I wanted to lay it all out there like never before so that you can see clearly -- step-by-step -- what the evolution of my business was so that perhaps you can take something useful from it that moves you forward now :-)

 

LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST EPISODE:

 
 

In 2014, I was the typical overworked, under-earning, stressed out entrepreneur. I was running a business in the yoga industry, and the income was sporadic and inconsistent to say the least. Some months I’d make a few thousand dollars, but one month I only brought in $22.50!

Head shot - Hat in the City .png

At that time, my hero was Gary Vee, who encourages you to hustle, hustle, hustle and work 24/7, all the while sacrificing time with friends and family and for yourself in order to “crush it!”. This left me questioning myself, my business and my ability to succeed. I didn’t want to have to work that hard, but it seemed like that was the only option if I wanted to be successful.

Then I found out I was pregnant with my first daughter. So you know what I did? I hustled even more to build up enough reserve to be able to take 3 months off after her arrival.

She was born in October of that year, and I did my best to not work during my maternity leave and give myself uninterrupted quality time with her.

But a cloud hung over this time as well...How was this possibly going to work once my little paradise of maternity leave was over in a few months?

There was no way I’d be able to go back to the full-time hustle like before. Not only would it have been impossible timewise with an infant to care for, but also I didn’t want my baby daughter’s first impressions of her mom to be a distracted, always-working, stressed out caretaker who was hustling but barely making it. I wanted her to have tons of quality bonding time with me and vice versa.

As I sat with all this, I questioned whether it was even worth going back to my old business at all -- did I really want a business where I was hustling full-time to make what amounted to part-time income?

But I didn’t want to give up on my dream of owning my own successful business one day. Even though I’d just had a baby, I felt there was still something within me that still needed to be born: my vision for what it would be like to run the business I knew I was here to create.

I realized I needed a new plan if I was going to move forward.

I’ve been a left-brained person -- logical and analytic -- from the get-go. I remember clearly in 3rd grade, we got our first agenda book, and it was the highlight of my school year! I loved that I got to pencil in all my homework assignments, afternoon and weekend activities and weekly to-dos and stay on track. (Not to mention I loved crossing things off when they were done!)

I’ve always been the kind of person who can succeed if I trust that I have a strategic plan and workable schedule to follow. When I have a solid plan, it makes me feel anchored and grounded and clear.

For me, structure gives me freedom.

So, towards the end of my 3 month maternity leave, I decided to do what I’ve been doing since that memorable day in 3rd grade when I received my first agenda book:

I pulled out my calendar, and circled the only days that I wanted to work now that my daughter was part of my life: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

I decided, right then and there, that I was going to make this 3-day-a-week business work. It’s the only way it could work for me, because I wanted and needed that extra time for my new baby.

The birth of my 3-Day Workweek...

I analyzed every minute of my previous 5-day workweek logically, slicing and dicing it to see what was unnecessary, what could be batched, what could be delegated and outsourced, and what could be cut.

As soon as I began looking at my old calendar with this mindset (and this commitment to work only 3 days per week), I realized that I had been focusing on a bunch of stuff that didn’t really matter or wouldn’t make me money.

I pulled up a Google Spreadsheet and dragged-and-dropped what was necessary into one of the Tues-Wed-Thurs time slots, and then pressed “DELETE” on everything else.

How to Develop Multiple Streams of Income, To Free Up Your Time and Supercharge Your Earnings

I realized in my previous business (when I was working full-time hours making a part-time income), I was totally trapped in trading hours for dollars. This capped my income at about $3K a month.

I also realized that if I wanted to live the mommy-friendly lifestyle I wanted, then I needed to develop a mix of different income streams.

This meant carving out space regularly to work on projects and new ideas that would grow my business in addition to still having time to work with my on-going clients.

So, I initiated an A/B week schedule. On A weeks, I had all my client sessions, and on B weeks, I my 3 days open and available to work on my business and explore new, exciting opportunities, projects and connections.

Because of this format, I was able to develop new offerings and layer my income with recurring revenue streams. I was also able to strategically plan for growth because all of my time wasn’t getting eaten up for too-little-money!

At the same time, because I had now restricted the number of hours I had available to see private clients, the old rule of “supply and demand” kicked in...

Before my shift to the 3-Day Workweek, I was doing business coaching sessions for $75 per hour. With the limited number of coaching spots available after my switch to the 3-Day Workweek, at that rate I would have only been earning just $1,200 a month from coaching -- barely enough to cover groceries.

That wasn’t going to work!

So, I began reserving my precious few coaching spots for clients who could afford higher investments. My sessions went up to $150 an hour, and then to $200, and then to $375, then $450, then $700, and today my time is valued at over $1000 per hour for one-on-one coaching!


If you’re ready to release the hustle mentality and want to learn how to sustainably scale your business, just as I have done, my 6 Month Mastermind is now open for enrollment.

It’s for women who are having $3-5K months & are ready to 2X-3X their income and scale towards 6-figures in 2019.

If that’s you...apply here.


The Secret of Monday and Friday…

Every day, I feel grateful that I get to help clients make the same profound shifts in their lifestyles and business that I made -- earning far more money, in a much more calm, relaxed and sane workweek.

Full-time income. Part-time hours. Ease galore. Hustle no more :-)

For me, one of the most emotionally-moving reminders of why I do the work I do happens every Monday and Friday.

Because of my 3-Day Workweek, I get to enjoy 4-day weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday) every single week with my two little daughters and husband.

But the reason Monday and Friday are especially significant is I probably would have rarely seen my girls on those days had I not discovered and made the shifts I’m sharing with you.

When my second daughter arrived in 2017, my 3-Day Workweek lifestyle was well in place, so I got to welcome her into a calm and peaceful home environment, where all her and my needs were taken care of, because I had created the sustainable business systems and workweek structure to do so.

After she was born, I was able to take 4 months off, and because of the systems I had in place, my revenue actually increased 15% that year.

Imagine that… two days of each and every week, Monday and Fridays, for the rest of my daughters’ childhoods -- that they have more access to me and me to them -- that never would have happened otherwise. If you consider that most people only have the weekends with their families, this means that I have 100% more time with them than I would have had, had I kept the old, hectic, stressed-out five-day workweek.

This has made a huge difference in their lives, and in mine.

And I’m so excited to share that difference with you.

Inside my 6 Month Mastermind, which is now open for enrollment, I’ll be sharing the exact strategies and systems I’ve used to move from $3K months to $30K launches and 6-figure years.

I’ve designed this mastermind specifically for women who are having $3-5K months in their business and are ready for their customized path to 6-figures in 2019. You know that the right support, guidance, community and plan will get you there with ease and flow, and you’re looking for that style of support now.

If you’re ready to receive what you need to scale your business to 6-figures while honoring your ideal workweek and lifestyle priorities, welcome home. This mastermind was tailor made for you.

Fill out an interest form here, and we’ll schedule a time to chat soon :-)

How to balance business and kiddos!

 
The 3-Day Workweek Podcast with Cailen Ascher - 2018-09-20 - How to Balance Business & Kiddos - Square Promo Image.png
 
 

Many of you here in my beautiful community are moms like me. And, many of you come to me with questions wondering how I create work-life harmony for me, my family and business.

Being a present mom and wife is essential for me. Lifestyle is my #1 priority.

Yes, I completely adore YOU and my business, but creating a happy, healthy, fulfilling life has always been of utmost importance to me -- and I’m guessing it is to you, too, since you’re here with me now :-)

So that brings me to our conversation today: how to balance business and kiddos!

(Not always an easy thing to do, but so worth it when you realize what an amazing example you can set for your kids by showing them what’s possible.)

First off, I want to explain what I mean by balance…

Balance to me is not about static perfection -- it’s about harmony. Finding a healthy ebb and flow. Finding a rhythm that’s sustainable. I see too many women thinking they have to do everything and be everything ALL. THE. TIME. That is not balance -- it’s insanity!

Ok, so now that we’ve got that covered, let’s talk through a few key things that have helped me create balance for myself, my family and my business.

  1. Support -- You can’t do it alone. You’ve heard it takes a village to raise a child. It’s true! So lean on your village. Ask for what you need in order to carve out time and space for your dreams: your partner to take the kids out for the afternoon, a friend to pick up or drop them off, your mom to babysit. People want to help, so let them :-)

  2. Do it YOUR WAY -- I’m guessing you may have found me (or at least know about) my 3-day workweek. For years I tried to hustle my way to success, but nothing worked. I wasn’t bringing my best self when I was stressed and pushing all day long. After my first daughter arrived, I prioritize my lifestyle in a way I had never done before and started my 3-day workweek, and things TOOK OFF. Never be afraid to do what makes sense for you, your family and your business. You know what’s best. Trust it.

  3. Get Guidance -- After switching to my 3-day workweek, I began to study other success women entrepreneurs with children and soon realized not a single one of them was doing it all by themselves. They had coaches, mentors, exec boards, masterminds and team members that would advise them, guide them and help them out. If you’re currently solopreneuring it, you can only get so far. (It took me 7 looong years to figure that out!) If you’re ready to uplevel and get the personal guidance you need to create full-time income working part-time hours, I’d love to explore working together. Book a chat here.

  4. Incremental Upgrades -- Don’t think everything has to change overnight! When we push ourselves too hard and too fast, we fall. (Just take a look at your kiddos to figure that out, right?!) Instead of quantum leaps, aim for incremental upgrades. Small, consistent, feel-good steps in the direction of your dreams. Sure, maybe you’d love to quit your full-time job, but right now it’s contributing financially -- so maybe an incremental upgrade could be requesting to work from home 1 day a week or get a half-day on Fridays. Maybe you’d love to bring on an assistant to help you, but are scared it’ll cost too much. Why not hire someone for just 5-10 hours a month? Start small and move consistently -- you’ll be surprised what a difference it makes.

  5. Community -- Ever hear that you’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with? Something I’ve discovered that has been the key to my business expanding to the 6-figure level is surrounding myself with the right people. Having ladies who get me, understand my business and share my values is vital, sanity-saving and just FUN! I learn from their wins (and mistakes), we collaborate, support one another and challenge each other to continue to dream big and then BIGGER. (Psst...I’m putting together my first high-level mastermind for women who are ready to scale to 6-figures in the next 12-18 months. If you’re interested in joining, you can read more about that here.)

Lastly, I just want to remind you that you’re amazing, and you’ve got this. I believe in YOU.

From Brand New Business to Clients + Group Programs

 
4.png
 

For the final case study, I wanted to introduce you to an amazing woman I am proud to call a client and friend -- Jasmine.

Jasmine is a Life Strategist Coach, health and fitness advocate, Doctor of physical therapy, wife and “mom” of 2 little pups.

We first connected a year ago. At that time Jasmine was working full-time as a physical therapist and was just starting the process of getting her life coaching certification.

When we began our work together, she had a long list of desires…

  1. Get really clear about my ideal clients

  2. Get really clear about my brand and what I offer

  3. Set up a plan to launch my life coaching business

  4. Establish services, packages and price points

  5. Set up and maintain systems to make life and business easier

  6. Set up automations for email and client bookings

  7. Create a marketing and visibility plan

  8. Turn my business into one that brings in revenue!

Jasmine felt a long way from her dream of having a thriving coaching business and knew there were a few key things standing in her way -- like her mindset (Can I really do this? I don’t know what I’m doing! I’m so overwhelmed! I don’t know what to do next!), not having a mentor, and needing to improve her strategic planning and organization.

Screen Shot 2018-08-14 at 12.18.21 PM.png

Every session we tackled one of the items on Jasmine’s list, and by the end of our work together, she had a clear plan for the growth of her brand new life coaching business. She finally felt focused, excited and ready to achieve the success she’d been desiring.

When I spoke with Jasmine a couple weeks ago (nearly a year since we first connected), she told me this...

“I can’t believe how far I’ve come in the past year!!! Last year I was just starting my coaching certification and my work with you, and now I have a business I love that’s growing, amazing women I’m working with, and I just launched my first group program!”
— Jasmine R.

LISTEN TO JASMINE'S STORY IN HER OWN WORDS:

 
 

What does your desire list look like? 

What would it mean to have someone in your corner to help you check off each and every item on that list as you move towards full-time income and part-time hours?!

I still have a couple spots available for new private coaching clients. I love working with women, like Jasmine, who know what they want and are ready to partner with a coach to achieve it quickly and with ease.

Here’s what’s included in my private coaching package…

  • 3 months of private one-on-one coaching with me :-)
  • Bespoke action plan to help you reach your biggest goals quickly and with ease
  • An inside look at how I run my business, schedule my workweek and bring in full-time income working part-time hours
  • Unprecedented levels of support, accountability and guidance
  • Access to my network of influencers 
  • Customized tools, resources and systems to fast track your success
  • Complimentary access to ALL my programs

If you know that now is YOUR TIME, apply here, and we’ll set up a time to talk soon to make sure we’re a really good fit to work together.

The deadline for applications is tomorrow, Friday the 24th. If you’ve been reading these case studies and hoping/thinking/wishing it could be YOU -- it can be! There’s no risk or obligation when you apply. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

A year from now, you may wish you had started today.
— Karen Lamb

3 Simple Tricks to Make Full-Time Income with Part-Time Hours

 
The 3-Day Workweek Podcast with Cailen Ascher - 2018-07-18 - 3 Simple Tricks to Make Full-Time Income with Part-Time Hours - Square Promo Image.png
 

A lot of women find me because of my 3-day workweek (perhaps that’s how we connected!) and are super curious about exactly how I set up my schedule and business so that I can make a full-time income working part-time hours.

So, I’m going to let you in on a little secret…

I have a few reliable tricks that have enabled me to create a 6-figure income working less than 20 hours a week, and I want to give you a look at exactly how I do that :-)

If you’re ready for full-time INCOME and part-time HOURS, you’re going to want to read the following very closely because all of what I’m sharing has helped me create my dream life and business and can help you do the same!

Thanks to the tricks I’m sharing below, you’ll discover…

  • The unique way I structure my 3-day workweek so I have plenty of time to work on NEW projects and ideas (and not just constantly be serving my current clients)
     
  • How I keep focused and avoid “shiny object syndrome”
     
  • How you, too, can create your dream life + business with full-time income and part-time hours!

These tricks have allowed me to create the life and business of my dreams -- complete with…

  • 3-day workweeks!!!
  • 4-day weekends with my 2 little girls and husband
  • Plenty of time for self-care, yoga and meditation
  • Freedom to travel with my family
  • Regular date nights with my husband
  • Time and money to buy and cook delicious, organic meals
  • A community of amazing women who I love serving
  • 3 amazing support members who make running my business easy and fun
  • Dream clients who are a joy to work with
  • Full-time income
  • Part-time hours <3

If you know that life is about more than trading dollars for hours at a job you hate, if you know deep down that you’re ready to start boldly stepping in the direction of all that you desire for yourself, your family and your business, these tricks that I’m sharing today will help you do just that! 

Get ready, ‘cause here they come :-)

TRICK #1 - A/B Weeks

I run my business on an A/B Week schedule. Let me explain...

I group all my client calls on my A weeks and leave my B weeks wide open for projects, content creation, consultation calls and creating new business (and income!) 

I love this way of formatting my schedule because it gives me plenty of time and space for continually expanding my business, and my clients love it because they have more time to implement all that we’re working on. Win-win!

TRICK #2 - Avoid Shiny Objects

Nothing kills productivity and momentum like running after a “shiny object”. I know you know what I mean. 

But in case you don’t, I’ll paint a little picture (from my own experience!). You’re working towards a goal, you’re making progress, maybe it’s a little slower than you want, you start questioning its viability, you start doubting and worrying, then a new idea presents itself, YES! this is the answer to ALL of your problems. So, you drop the previous project and head off into the sunset with the new idea, but the honeymoon only lasts so long, and the whole cycle repeats itself. No fun.

How do I avoid shiny objects? 

By finishing this one statement and reminding myself of it DAILY. 

Ask yourself...

All roads in my business lead to ___________________________. 
(booking a call with me, joining my free Facebook Group, enrolling in my program, buying my book, purchasing my tripwire product, signing up for a webinar, etc.)

Once you define the ONE THING you’re driving everything to, you’ll have a clear gauge whether a new idea is a distracting shiny object or a great idea leading you further down your intended road.

TRICK #3 - Don’t reinvent the wheel

I am where I am in business and life because I’ve learned from and aligned myself with the best. The best mentors, coaches and support people.

When I encounter a problem, instead of going it alone, I seek out a solution from someone who I know has been through it or from someone who is specialized in helping people through it.

Trust me, this philosophy did not evolve over night. I spent years and years (seriously, nearly a decade!) trying to figure things out on my own, and it didn’t work. I was making practically no money, my business wasn’t working, and I was filled with self-doubt and totally overwhelmed. 

When I finally started investing in myself, I was able to get the support and guidance I needed to create my ideal workweek and build my business up to full-time income and part-time hours. 

Investing in myself allowed me to create my dream life and business because I was finally declaring, “I believe in myself enough to invest in ME!”.

If you’re feeling like now might be the time to invest in YOU, I would love the opportunity to connect and see if I can support you! Fill out this quick form to book a free call with me here, and we’ll see if we’re a good fit to work together at this time.


So there you have it, my top 3 tricks for bringing in a full-time income with flexible, part-time hours. I have no doubt if you start to implement what I’ve shared above, you’ll immediately begin to see (and feel!) a difference.
