Farewell Colorado! https://bit.ly/3A9EaVL
Big changes always come with many questions. I've had many people ask me in the past few days:

👉 why are you leaving CO and returning to PA?
👉 when are you leaving?
👉 can I see you before you leave?
👉 how are you feeling about this change?
👉 do you need any help?

I put all of this together on a little page, including details to the invitation to two different farewell gatherings I am having before I leave on August 18th. Go to this link https://bit.ly/3A9EaVL and you can learn the answers to those questions and if you are local to Colorado, I hope you will RSVP to one of the two farewell gatherings.

What is the value of my offering?

This is a question that haunts many solopreneuers.

Especially those of us who are driven by a desire to improve the lives of others.

It can feel disingenuous or icky to ask for money when we are so passionate about what we do.

Yet, that’s the whole point of heart-centered business: to follow our purpose and support ourselves through our calling.

So, it’s very important to overcome those money mindsets that are blocking our paths to success.

This workshop is being sponsored in by my friends Lauren and Randy in their community Soulfully Empowered Entrepreneurs (S.E.E.)!

Come learn how to identify the value of your offering and be confident when selling your services.

Do You React or Respond?

When an unexpected change happens in your life or business do you Hello Beautiful Soul! Change. This one syllable word holds so much power. Change is always happening. Nothing is static. If change was

Are you in a season of navigating change but it is feeling really challenging? Since 2002, I have supported individuals in the process of navigating change in both their professional and personal lives. The common theme is that going through the transitions that accompany change, almost always requires letting go of things.

Whether it is a change that we choose or a change that was put upon us by someone or something else, the process always requires letting something go. Letting go of things is sometimes easy but sometimes it is hard.

Like really hard!

We can get in our heads, get confused about what really matters in the end, we want to balance our needs/desires and the needs/desires of others in our life.

No matter what, change is something that is always happening.

Having the tools to navigate change in a way that allows you to feel confident and peaceful is integral to a fulfilling life.

If you would like to have a framework and some tools that you can use in every change situation, I invite you to check out the upcoming one-day retreat here in beautiful Fort Collins, CO that I am holding on Friday, June 7th. It is being held in a beautiful space that is surrounded by nature and you will have time to learn, reflect, and ground into what matters most when you navigate a transition. www.proffitcoach.com/change

I know that you will find priceless value from these tools, which I have used personally for the past 7 years!

Wish you had more CALM in the Chaos the comes along with change?

I invite you to check out this event on June 7th where you will have a chance to learn what it could look like to have CALM while Navigating Change:

Clarity

Identify what matters most to you during and on the other side of the change. When faced with change, it can sometimes even create a sense of losing a part of our identity or how we orient ourselves in life. Having a clear sense of what your north star is will help you stay the course.

Awareness

Gain deeper insight into the path you tend to take when you are stressed and how to consciously pick a different path. We will use a proprietary process to chart your personal path and identify tools and resources you can leverage when you feel off course.

Lean In to Love

Explore what it would look like for you to approach transitions from a place of loving-kindness for both yourself and others. This will be done with things like on-the-spot coaching, mentoring, visioning

Making Friends with the Mystery

Nothing is predictable, even when you make a plan. We must make friends with the mystery of the unknown- this is the neutral zone. There will be ample time and space for guided reflecting - sometimes the answers come when we are in quiet stillness.

Does sending out an email newsletter or having a stronger email marketing strategy for your business - make you want to turn the other way and run out of the room?! 🤣

I am offering a special package of three 1:1 deep dive sessions to provide you with live training, set a simple and joyful strategy, and even help with some actual copywriting and newsletter format layout that makes sense for you and your business.

Whether you are just starting out or have been at it for a while, I have found that many people get overwhelmed or stuck when it comes to this part of their business.

Here is the truth
👉 Having an email list is critical for success because unlike social media, you will always have access to you list of contacts.

I've heard so many sad stories of biz owners having their social media accounts hacked or shut down and if they built their whole biz in those platforms, it creates an entirely different level of stress.

Also, people take social media breaks all the time but have you ever heard someone say "I'm not going to check my email account for a month" 🤣

No need to avoid this important part of your business any longer. I promise we will keep it simple (no crazy tech or complex funnels) and it will be more joyful if we do it together! Hands on support is how I roll

The link to find out more is https://proffitcoach.com/emailmarketing

A few things to note:
* The platform you use doesn't matter for this service and if you don't have a platform we can figure that out too.
* You will not receive pre-recorded trainings or fill-in-the-blank worksheets
* You will receive my attention and support and have a plan and some sample copy for your newsletter strategy

P.S. - this is actually the work I did when I first started Proffit Coach and have felt a tug on my heart and prayed a lot of prayers around whether I should extend these services again. So here we go!

Change is constantly happening. In the spirit of that, this post is a reintroduction of me & the ways that I'm impacting the world through the work I do based on some transitions that have happened in the past few years.

Finding solace in the stillness is something many feel challenged by- especially when navigating change & transitions. I've spent the past 40 days in a lot of stillness to see where God is pointing me 🙌💖

I founded my business, Proffit Coach with the philosophy that JOY is the Best Business Strategy™. These days, I am helping mission-driven leaders who are navigating changes in their business, life, or relationships feel confidence, joy & peace in the face of the uncertainties that the change is bringing on.

Working as a supportive mentor, coach, and consultant we co-create plans with clients in a way that integrates their faith, values, & natural strengths into what they do & how they do it. My approach is informed by over 2 decades of work in Human Resources, Coaching, Sales, Marketing, & Operations in many different industries. Those who know her, can attest that in the face of multiple major life changes in a very condensed time frame, she has cultivated a unique & powerful approach to navigating transitions. Alison will also often offer powerful intercessory prayer & guides people to find solace in the stillness so they can hear what God is whispering to them about the path to fulfilling their purpose during seasons of change.

Let's have a conversation, if you find yourself feeling lonely in a season of change, where you are navigating uncertainty, overthinking, or are chasing down the "right" decision. Perhaps, deep down you actually have clarity around what needs to happen in the transition but you are avoiding stepping fully into it because you feel scared, guilty or are afraid of disappointing others or even yourself.

When we are paralyzed during transitions, the confidence we normally show up with begins to waver & this often bleeds into other areas of our life. Let's explore what it would be like for you to feel more solace & peace in the face of transitions in your life. More details are in the comments below.

We are in the HOME stretch! Tomorrow we are wrapping things up with a Closing Immersive Meditative Experience 🧘‍♂️

The magic truly was in the moments today.

Tomorrow is the final day, and even if you have not joined us all week long- DO NOT LET THAT STOP YOU FROM JOINING US!

Yup, I just shouted that but there was so much love in the invitation. :)

During Day 1 of the summit we did an exercise related to values in our business. Attendees explored how their top 3 values were
being honored in the parts of their business that bring them JOY
and where those values are not being honored in the parts of the business that are not as joyful.

There was a theme of the areas that the group felt not so excited about- which was really not a big surprise to me. Can you guess what those were?

It's the big 3:

👉 Sales
👉 Marketing
👉 Operations

As we walked through the final part of the exercise, there were so many amazing realizations that attendees had related to how the below areas of business can be more impactful and joyful when really understanding how to use their values as the coordinate points on the path to those areas that create stress.

Any time we are attempting to do something in business (or life) that is challenging, going about it in a manner that is values-aligned is going to allow you to create better results, be more productive, and be more fulfilled.

Hustling and grinding your way through and ignoring your values is a fast path to burnout and bitterness.

Remember, it is not just about the mindset stuff though. The actual skills, systems, and tools/resources related to the 3 big areas of Sales, Marketing, and Operations. need to be acquired to embark on the journey to what we call Soulful Success!

As the next two days unfold we will continue to talk about these kinds of topics and providing meaningful insights to support you in your journey.

Also, we thought it would be fun to put together this word image that captures the values that our soulful attendees have. It was so cool to see the overlap in the attendees.

Do you see your top three values on here? How do you let them shine through in your approach to Sales, Marketing, and Operations?

Let us know in the comments if you have ever thought about your business in this way!

P.S. Tickets are still available. Head to the website to grab yours and you will be able to jump right into the zoom with us. Event is from 8am-4pm MST and recordings will be provided after the event wraps up so even if you miss parts of it you can still get value!
