leave. There's so much opportunity in the online space. Um, and before I dig into that, I want to share with you guys something really exciting that's happening right now in my life. And that is the fact that the doors are open for my dream hustlers school. You guys, this is the place for new and I would say maybe growing entrepreneurs who have been struggling to get their business strategy right, to know the pieces and parts and the things that they have to have in place, um, so that they can start calling in their potential clients and start sharing their products, their courses, their coaching, their widgets. There services in the online space. So basically what I do is I walk you through the steps that I used and that most entrepreneurs use in order to get their business up and running in the online space. And so this is a 12 week program. Um, there are 12 live calls with me plus there's options for one on one personal coaching time. There is other live videos that I do with extra bonus trainings. There's guests, expert speakers talking about social media, social media and mindset. Um, there's a Facebook community which we're going to be creating accountability partners to make sure that you're doing the things that you're saying you're going to do. All kinds of awesome stuff like that is going to be a part of this 12 week program. Uh, my winter program just closed. And you guys, we have so many new entrepreneurs in the online space. It's just so exciting to be able to walk you guys through and see the things that you create. It builds so much confidence, um, that you can do these things. You guys, I always say, if I can do this kind of stuff, you guys, anybody can do it. So if you're looking to build an online course, you want a coach or mentor becomes some sort of like self love coach, uh, you want to run group programs, maybe you want to a monthly membership program. Um, if you're a freelancer and you just want to build a brand around your services that people know you exist, um, any of that kind of stuff, you guys, I can help you that as your business strategists through this 12 weeks. So if you want more information about that, you guys, you can go to[inaudible] dot com you can send me a DM on Instagram at Shana recker and we can set up a 30 minute call to see if this opportunity to grow your business is a fit for you and the group. We can jump on the phone, talk about your idea and see if you're ready to finally launch that business idea that's been in your head for God knows how long. I know for me, I held onto my idea for a year and I regret that decision. I wish I had started when I had first got the IDX. Gosh, I'd be so much further ahead. So that's you and you want to chat. You want to apply for a spot in the school because there's only 20 spots. You guys, I can only help a small group each time because there's a lot of personal things that I'm doing with each of you. So if you want to grab one of those spots, just head over to Shane, record outcome or head over to my Instagram, send me Dm and let's chat. Okay, so today you guys, I want to talk about the reasons why I believe there is so much opportunity in this online space. Of course, this is going to tie in to the fact that I'm launching this school that helps entrepreneurs build their business in the online space because I do think it's so important for you guys to see the potential of what's possible out there. I started my business, you guys three years ago with no clue on what I was doing. How to do anything. And in three years I've been able to grow a Facebook following of over 15,000 people. I'm almost at 10,000 followers on Instagram, which I really just started that Instagram about a year or so ago. Um, I've called in multiple clients. I've made over five figures in this business in two years. I'm actually already generating a profit. Um, and that's because you guys the online business space and doesn't require a ton of overhead. I have an office that I use out of my home. I have very minimal business expenses each month and I just basically show up online using the social media platforms that are virtually free. Yes, there are opportunities for you to pay for boosting posts and things like that. But in general, there's a lot of amazing ways to call in potential clients using platforms that are virtually free, whether it be writing a blog post, doing a Facebook live video, doing an Instagram live video, and now we have Instagram TV. There are lots of ways that you can share your value and the things that you've learned and how you help people in an online platform that are either free or very little. Uh, as far as cost as involved. Even their podcast, like literally my podcast costs me about$30 a month and then I had to buy a couple of pieces of equipment and one time costs. But that's something that allows me to get these messages of value out to thousands and thousands of people for virtually like free or very little amounts of money. And so that's the absolute number one reason why I think online business is such, um, such a great place. You, you don't have to have the bricks and mortar expenses of, of a, a business that runs out of a space. Like my husband as an example, he's a freelance designer, he's actually a branding specialist and he's done both. He's done the bricks and mortar and he's done the work from home and just kind of doing things on his own. And let me tell you, he is way more profitable when he works from home. Then having to spend all those expenses in a bricks and mortar place. So it's just the online opportunity gives those of us who don't have money to invest in buying an office space and setting up, you know, desks and all of those things. A way to share our knowledge and experience and what we love with other people without having to cost a lot of money. So that's number one. And actually I just, I just added that one in right now as I'm going here. That was actually not in my notes, but it's so true. And you guys, the other reason in this kind of ties into what I just said is that thanks to things like social media, we can see we have access to millions and millions and millions of people with our messages, thanks to social media. So doing something like a Facebook live where you can have literally thousands of people view your video like, like I said, for free, you know, you do the video, you get your message out there and people will find it. People are sharing your content. If it's valuable on Instagram, people will share my podcast. If they found value in the episodes. And in that sharing, it helps to grow your audience because other people in those people's networks are seeing what they're posting and they want to know why did she find this so valuable? I better go check it out. Right? So your reach is exponential thanks to the online platforms that are available today. Say with blog posts, you wrote a really good blog posts, post some links in there to some of your programs, some of your free offers, you know, for people to join your email list. All of those things. And somebody gets great value out of that blog post. They're going to share it on their social media, or they're going to send it to a friend or they're going to tag somebody in it. And in that it's, it's instantly moving your brand into thousands and thousands of more people's hands. So the opportunity to literally reach millions of people with your brand, with your business, with your services, with your message has never been easier and so much easier to build in this space. And I believe it's just going to continue to get easier. Yes, it's going to get, there's going to be a lot more people who are joining. I people are making and creating online businesses every single day, but I still think that there is so much opportunity out there. I don't think the space is crowded because I am a somebody who believes in abundance and I believe there's an abundant amount of people in the online space who are looking for what you have to offer. It doesn't have to, you don't have to look and go, oh well there's already, you know, a million self love coaches out there, so how, how am I going to, you know, compete against the ones who are out there? Listen, there are a lot of people out there that don't relate to a single one of those self love coaches. But guess what? When you show up authentically as you with your message, your brand, and they respond to you because you're like them, they're like you. There's an abundant amount of people out there and there's more than enough people to allow you to make a great living online because you're showing up as you and they relate to you. You don't need millions and millions of people. You just need a group of people who resonate with your product and service that will purchase your stuff. And it doesn't have to be millions of people, let me tell you. So there's still so much opportunity, um, in the online space and to be able to reach more and more people. And I think that there's going to be more tools, more, um, you know, developments within social media and online that are still haven't even been created yet that are going to help us in that online space. So the other thing is, is like right now when you need something, you're looking for something, whether it be a thing, a service, a person, um, you need, you have an issue or a problem. What is the first thing that you do? I know for me, I go to Google and I searched for what I want. I searched for what I need and it connects me to all kinds of online businesses that offer what it is that I'm looking for. So there's this like search thing that happens in the online space that is connecting people to what they need. So if you're an online coach that helps women, you know, move through a divorce and maybe that cause you've been through that and that's something that you have learned a ton about and you want to help and create group coaching programs for women who are struggling in that space and you have this online program or this, um, private coaching or you have this program that you'd want to develop that's going to support them. And I'm somebody who's going through that. Let's say hypothetically and I'm on Google and I'm typing, um, you know, women going through divorce. Google is going to go out there and find all the people who have the right language on their websites that say that's what they do and match those people up to that person who's searching for that content. So for people to find your business, it is also like if you're doing it right, which is what I teach in my school, is how to use the right language, the right wording to make sure that the right people find you. If you're doing that right, they will find you right. So it takes some time to build up to that place where you come up and the first three or four options on Google. But if you build it and stay consistent and get your message out there, they will find you. They will find you. I have had people find me from Japan, from Australia, from all over the world and I'm just sitting here and little London, Ontario, and I have people who I work with all over the world thanks to online and thanks to social media and thanks to Google and searches. So people are already going online to find things. So I think the online space is just such a great place to be and have a presence. If you have something that you want to offer people, you know, putting your items on the menu in your online space. If people can find them and purchase them from you and get the help that they're looking for from you is so, so powerful. And then you guys, the other reason why, the last reason why I truly believe that the online space is such an important place, especially if you're coaching, you're offering some sort of service where you're helping people develop or get through something is that people are going online to learn. And like if I asked you guys how many times me right now, you guys are all listening to a podcast, right? You're listening to a podcast because you were probably driving in your car, you're walking your dog, your, you know, you're cleaning your house and you've got this on in the background because you want to learn on the go. People are hungry for knowledge. They want to learn. And more and more and more countries in the world are getting online and getting access to this information and they all want to learn. They all want to grow. We all want to be better, right? We are put on this planet to grow and learn and develop. If we're not growing, we're dying literally. So people want to learn. Anytime I'm walking my dog, I'm either listening to a podcast, listening to an audio book, um, basically one of those two things. And um, I'm always educating myself and trying to learn more and be better. And so at most people right now when they go to learn, they're going online. I take all my courses, any of the group coaching programs that I take in the masterminds I joined, there's always an online learning component where there's extra modules and extra training. Um, everything I'm doing now is online. So when you're online with your services and stuff, people are looking to learn when it's convenient for them. You know, to have to go to a school on a Tuesday night to a class every, every night at 7:00 PM and have to leave my house and go do all, like I have no interest in that. I don't want to leave my house sometimes at night, but I still want to learn and grow. So I love that I can jump online, be a part of a group coaching call or watch a Webinar or go watch some youtube videos on a specific topic and I can get what I need in that online space. And that's what people are doing. They're putting their courses, their programs, their, their training online. And it allows people to learn and they at the convenience space for them when it's right for them. Right. And you guys like it, you know, these are just a few reasons. I am sure there are millions of more reasons why, you know, having something available in the online space is so valuable right now. And I think that we're just at the cusp of this. You know, one of the things that I heard at my mastermind and Chris harder had said this to us, you know, cause you know, we're in this online space as coaches and as you know, putting out programs and becoming online entrepreneurs and teaching people and we're striving to get work. You know, Chris and Laurian and Lewis Howes and all of those people are. But what he said to us is he guys, he said, you guys, you know, being in this room as fairly new entrepreneurs with under, you know, a few years experience, you guys are the next wave of online entrepreneurs that are going to come up and be where we are. So instead of trying to strive to get where they are right now, we're just the next group rising up. And I hope that I explained that well enough for you, but um, there is, uh, there's going to be consistent waves of new online entrepreneurs coming up the pipe as, as everything shifts and changes, right? Like, you know, there's going to be another wave and another wave and another wave of new people who are coming into this space learning and developing and growing and adjusting and pivoting and all of that work is going to move them into that online space. If they do it well, they give great value. They're being authentic, they're showing up consistently and they're passionate about what they do. You guys, that's why I'm here. I'm Super Pac. I love training like this. I love sharing my heart and sharing the things that I'm learning with other people. I love growing and developing and helping people do the same. And so that's why I showed up and created an online business to do that because I could see the potential and I could see that there were people who needed what I knew there were people who were trying to, to build on my businesses but had no clue. And I was like, Hey, I've done that before. I could show you, Oh hey, this is a tool that I use. It's really easy. It makes it so much, it makes your job so much easier. Try this. Or here's what I know that didn't work for me and here's what I found out that did, you know, so do this. Try that. And I'm just taking the experiences that I've learned in my life and sharing it with other people, including things like building the confidence and getting through the fears and you know, dealing with procrastination and all of those things. I've dealt with it all. And so my job is to show you guys how to do the same. So I hope that this message lands on the right people today. If you found value in this message today, if you're listening to this going, okay, I see a chain of, there's so much opportunity online, I need to finally act on this idea that I'd been holding onto forever. I'm tired of watching other people do this and me feeling scared and not wanting to jump in because I just don't know what I'm doing. You guys, I want to invite you to take a look.
