What’s a Lifestyle Entrepreneur Learning Plan?

Becoming an entrepreneur means you agree to embark on a journey of endless learning. As with anything else in life, this journey will go a lot smoother if you have a plan.

And this is where the “Lifestyle Entrepreneur Learning Plan” comes in.

“An Entrepreneur Learning Plan is list of things you need to learn over a defined period of time, to grow yourself and your business.” April Beach

[Tweet “An Entrepreneur Learning Plan is list of things you need to learn over a defined period of time, to grow yourself and your business”]

Why Tune In To This Episode?

It’s important to always learn, grow, adapt, and evolve. It’s the only way to keep your business relevant and healthy.

Having a plan in place for learning new systems, platforms, skills, etc. will allow you to not become distracted by the overwhelming amount of information entrepreneurs must consume.

With a learning plan, you’ll have the confidence and power to know exactly what you should be learning and when; saving you time, money, and frustration.

[Tweet “Becoming an entrepreneur means you agree to embark on a journey of endless learning.”]

What Can You Expect?

I’ll explain exactly what a “Lifestyle Entrepreneur Learning Plan” is, provide examples of what one looks like, how it can help you solve problems, and why this is so critical to the success of your business.

4 Quick Steps to Create a Sample ELP:

  • Make a list of the items you need to learn at this time
  • Take an inventory of the courses you’ve already bought and downloads you’ve already received, and categorize your trainings into “skills groups”
  • Make a list of what skills you’re missing and go find those trainings
  • Create a 12-18 Month Learning Calendar of what you plan to learn and by when, based on the current phase of business you’re in right now (find out what phase you’re in here)

It’s Almost Course Launch Season … Are You Ready?

We’re coming up on another season of course launches and program enrollments. Are you confident in your ability to look past the shiny bonuses and crazy discounts to pick the course that is the perfect fit for your life and business at this exact moment in your journey?

Well, don’t worry if you’re not because that’s exactly what we’re covering in this week’s episode!

Why You Should Tune In?

I would venture to say every entrepreneur has been lured into purchasing a course or program they didn’t really need and, while it may have been loaded with valuable content, it didn’t yield the expected results.

Taking the wrong course, or even the right course at the wrong time, leads to a loss of time and money.

Both of those resources are extremely valuable and I want to make sure you never waster either of them ever again!

[Tweet “Taking the wrong course, or even the right course at the wrong time, leads to a loss of time and money.”]

What Can You Expect?

I’ll explain five ways you can get really clear on what courses or programs are the perfect fit for you and your business right now so you don’t become distracted or lose any more time or money.

What you won’t get is me telling you my courses are the perfect fit for you. They may or may not be, but after this episode, you’ll be able to determine that for yourself.

It’s Time to Reset and Refocus

I took seven weeks off from my business this summer, to travel with my kids. Now that they’re heading back to school, it’s time to reset and refocus. I actually do a complete reset every August. It’s part of my #lifestylebusiness system.

I’ve you’ve taken time off, or your business just isn’t where you thought it would be by this point in the year, I highly suggest you reset and refocus with me!

… And that’s what we’re talking about on this week’s SweetLife episode!

Why Should You Tune In?

As an entrepreneur, you’re solely responsible for the growth and success of your business. It’s critical to make sure you’re in line with your goals and make adjustments when needed.

I truly believe a successful entrepreneur never stops learning.

Not only does that apply to new systems, platforms, and skills… This also applies to learning and assessing your own business status and growth needs.

[Tweet “A successful entrepreneur never stops learning.”]

What Can You Expect?

I break down the five different core areas of resetting and refocusing and why they’re so important. You’ll learn about each and why they all affect your overall business goals.

Today, she’s providing some excellent insights into hiring your first VA!

Why is this important for your business?

New entrepreneurs have juggle it all … customer service, content creation, website development, social media management, marketing, etc, etc But the truth is, you shouldn’t do everything solo for too long.

“How do I outsource?”  is a question I get from my clients all the time. So if you’re launching your business or growing your online programs, I’m guessing you’re asking the same thing!

Learning how to outsource certain aspects of your business can sometimes be the difference between success and failure. At the very least, not outsourcing some aspects of your business will lead to much slower growth.

What can you expect in this Episode? 

Trivinia provides trusted advice for when you should hire your first VA, what to outsource to them, and how to work with them successfully. You won’t want to miss this.

Listen to the Podcast Here:

It’s officially August so we’re switching gears from the relaxing summer topics we’ve been discussing, and diving back into business building strategies. 

Do you have too many ideas?

You’re a creative… and you’re never lacking new ideas and problems to solve. This is what makes you a great, typical, entrepreneur. It’s also what is required to successfully develop unique, innovative products that people want and will rely on.

But if you’re someone who always has new ideas for your business (floating around inside your head), to the point where it becomes overwhelming and you’re not sure what to do first…

This episode is for you.

Why is this important for your business?

Having too many ideas isn’t a problem –

It’s when you’re spread too thin, that creativity can start to slow you down. If your amazing ideas are sidetracking you, you’ll relate and appreciate this episode.

Multitasking, in business development, is not your friend. Learning how to focus and organize your thoughts and ideas will allow you to see which ideas you should follow, help you become much more productive, and help you find consistent work hours.

What can you expect? 

In today’s episode, I explain how the Splashdown technique helps me organize my thoughts and how you can utilize this technique as well. Give it a try.

Are you constantly solving new problems or creating new products/services?

If you’re someone who feels the need to be constantly solving new problems or creating new offerings for your business, you absolutely must listen to this episode because I’m explaining why that actually hurts your business instead of helping it.

Why is this important for your business?

Spreading yourself thin by offering multiple products/services will require more time and provide fewer results.

When you focus on one problem or offering at a time, you’re able to really master it and allow it to reach its fullest potential. You learn who your ideal client is – inside and out.

You become the expert in your niche…

You earn more money and find more success…

Small success can lead to great results!

What can you expect? 

In today’s episode, I explain the power of perfecting what you already have. I also help you learn to realize when it’s not the right time to create something new-

 And when it finally is!

Do you need to take a digital detox?

In last week’s episode, I talked about our addiction to technology. This week, I’m challenging you to a digital detox. This is an idea you’re either going to love or hate and, if you lean more towards hating it, you just might need to take a digital detox more than anyone else.

Why is this important for your business?

Technology takes the authenticity out of life.

Relying on technology and social media to inspire new ideas makes us forget our own creativity and causes our brains to become lazy. This is dangerous for everyone, but it’s especially dangerous for entrepreneurs.

What can you expect? 

In today’s episode, I’m going to ask you some questions that, when answered honestly, will let you know if it’s time to take a digital detox.

I’m also going to provide four steps to help your plan for your digital detox to make sure it’s as effective and successful as possible.

Why is this important for your business?

As online entrepreneurs, we have to use to technology. There’s just no way around it. However, when it gets to the point where we can’t even go to the bathroom without our phone, it’s become a problem. #keepingitreal

Our brains are always going… Thinking up new project ideas, worrying about deadlines, responding to emails … it’s overwhelming.

Taking a step back from technology allows your brain to rest for a second and it also allows you to focus on one task at a time – making your day much more productive.

Technology should help you run your business, not control your life.
