Changing Your Internal Money Story WIth Deborah Fryer

It's all about the money, money, money . . .  or is it?
I am SUPER excited to invite Deborah Fryer to the Feed U Podcast today to talk about shifting our money mindset.  I've mentioned before that research shows nearly 95% of our decisions are made by our subconscious.  If that's the case, is it any wonder that you aren't making the money you deserve to make if your mindset is carrying around old money habits and beliefs?
Deborah cuts right to the chase.
In the awesome conversation we talk about if you aren't reaching the goals in your business, how your money beliefs are likely holding you back.  Deborah graciously gives us some success examples of her clients who conquered their money mindset and have not only prospered in their business, but also their lives.  We also cover the reality, that the goal isn't the money.  The goal has to be identified outside of the money, otherwise when you get there, you'll be disappointed and go back to old habits.
To round out the episode, Deborah walks you through an exercise to help you begin conquering the bad juju money voice in your head.

Falling In Love With Your Analytics

Does the word analytics make you want to curl into a ball too?
If you are anything like me, the word analytics takes you back to a high school math class that makes you cringe in memory.  An older teacher, with too many calculators and poor eyesight.  
However, times have changed - and analytics can become your friend.  In fact, I HIGHLY recommend you make friends with this past frenemy.  Because analytics are the lifeblood of your marketing.
Last week I talked about identifying your broken sales funnel and how to fix it.
In case you missed it, you may want to start here with Episode 36.
This week I dive into analytics.  Why does she keep saying that word?  Truly, it is CRITICAL that you analyze everything in your business you are spending money on, especially in the arena of marketing.  If that investment isn't paying for itself, it's time to give it the old heave ho (my mom would totally say that).
Here's what I cover this week:
What are analytics (get to it already Alisa)?
Why are analytics important?
Analytics tools that are essential to keep a pulse on your spending and profit.
3 critical conclusions to make with your newfound love of analytics.
