063: 2 Things That Keep Clients Happy To Stay and To Pay

Mae Bornillo — Tue, 14 May 2024 06:00:00 +0800

How can you retain clients and keep them paying happily? These 2 things I share in this episode remain to be my most effective practice. Truth is - clients are happy to stay and pay you when they know they're getting more than what they're paying.

Let's talk about it.

062: Consistency Through Life's Trials with Metz Miranda

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 07:00:00 +0800

We all see people's wins online. How about what happens behind the scenes? The not-so-instagrammable part?

In this episode, Metz graced my podcast with such honesty on her challenges in life and what it took to stay consistent in building her business while navigating through heartbreak and grief.

We talk about pain and the courage to stand back up and pave the way to the life you know you deserve.

From an entrepreneur like you and me, who gets the journey...this is a discussion of truth that I know will serve you, my friends.

061: You Don't Have to Change Who You Are

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 07:00:00 +0800

Everywhere we look on the internet today, it feels like we've got to be someone else in order to be successful. A certain personality, look the way of acting, or a morning routine.

This episode is about honoring who you are, understanding that you can fully be you and be very successful and that you can build the life you know you deserve.

You can be messy, and your journey can look different than the others, and that makes your path yours.

So don't buy into the lies of the world. You got this - AS YOU, not anybody else.

60: Money-Making Moves to Grow Your Online Business

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 07:00:00 +0800

Many people struggle with making money in their business because their attention is not on money-making activities. If your desire is to sign clients and make more than a full-time income online, it's important to consistently do what brings in clients.

So many out there have great content and are only making content or doing other things except reaching out to potential clients.

This episode is taken from a masterclass I did for the members of my program OBS about reaching out to clients who potentially need your service. We talk about no-BS strategies to bring in cash and increase your income. We dive into the practicality of getting seen by the people who are willing to pay for your services.

I hope this one puts you into action.

059: Before You Buy Any Course or Mentorship

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 07:00:00 +0800

Are you in the loop of buying courses/mentorship, feeling like there's always something missing?

I love buying guidance and investing in me through my mentors are some of the most life-changing decisions I made in life, and I will advocate for it forever. But it is important to check in with ourselves every time we invest...

Am I doing it with the right intention?

Am I buying because of FOMO?

Do I expect this course to change my life?

YOU are the biggest factor that can make it a successful experience.

In this episode, I share with you my take when it comes to investing in yourself through courses/mentorship/coaching.

We touched on:

How to succeed in courses/mentorships you enroll in
The right intention to make the most out of it
How to make every experience worth it

058: When Things Feel Difficult...

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 22 May 2023 08:00:00 +0800

This journey is no joke, and if you've asked yourself once, "Why are things so difficult?"

This is for you. In this solo podcast, I talked about the 3 questions to ask yourself whenever you're feeling like life isn't going your way. In the in-between, the ups and downs of life are the beliefs that are useful in navigating this journey. These beliefs and accountability to who you are becoming are what helped me in the journey, and my hope is that you pick up these helpful beliefs too.

057: Keren Ame - The Riches are in the Niches

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 08:00:00 +0800

People say, "The riches are in the niches." And I know that this isn't an absolute rule and that many people will disagree.

But Keren has proven it true. And in this interview, she tells us all about it.

Keren and I started working in early 2021, the same time that she started her journey to become the GO-TO Dubsado Specialist.

Two months after, she was closing the month at $10K+ in sales.

Few clients, higher price.

More than that, what I really want to talk about are the things behind the scenes...

+ The decisions made

+ The mindset shifts

+ The strategic pivots

If you love it, let Keren and me know your thoughts on Instagram @maekithappen and @workflowswithkeren. I love knowing that you're listening to the pod.

055: How to Create a Strategy

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 08:00:00 +0800

In this episode, Mae takes you through a no-BS approach on how to be not only a service provider but a strategist for your clients. Understanding how to be a strategist not only elevates your value but also gives your clients a big reason to keep working with you because of the results that you bring and the care you have for their businesses.

This will help you stand out among the competition who only provide the handwork. When you do the brainwork, your implementation has a direction.

051: Change is Fckng Scary, and It's Okay

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 08:00:00 +0800

In this episode, I go off the highlight reel, stripping out whatever mask is left and showing you the other side of growing an online business, facing change... the fear, the uncertainty, and the painful process of choosing to trust the unknown.

The last few months prior to recording this episode, I went through a cycle of evaluating how I feel about the coaching industry. I closed my main program OBS for a revamp, and I had to rethink who I really wanted to be in this space. And I had to humbly learn my lesson and make difficult decisions to move forward.

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 01:00:00 +0800

How does the work of getting clients feel to you? Difficult? Challenging? The world made us believe it to be like that. But in this podcast, I invite you to welcome a new perspective. What if it gets to be easy? What if it's just a process that you can master and repeatedly successfully do? What if we are making things harder than it needs to be?

There's nothing that can't be learned. And if you choose to, the process of signing clients and growing your business can become easy too. If this is a perspective you're open to, this episode is for you.

049: What it Means to Hold the Vision

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 01:00:00 +0800

When you understand the real meaning of HOLDING THE VISION, you become unstoppable. You stop feeling frustrated over the response of people to your efforts and the results of each little thing - you stop getting disappointed. Instead, you start unfolding who you are because it is WHO YOU ARE. You don't wait for anyone. You don't depend on how the world receives you.

You act, speak, and think the way you should be - not because of what you've achieved but because it is who you are meant to be, no matter what.

At this level of awareness and strength of vision, you become the person who receives all that she desires. You become the person first before any result comes.

This episode is a clip from the last call I held for my clients in 2022 inside my Signature Program OBS, where we talked about UPLEVELING.

It's a conversation about doing better as the CEO of your business, learning how to hire and fire fast, delegating, and how to cultivate your team members' love for your business as if it is their own.

My client Shane who has hit amazing milestones this year asked amazing questions bringing out potent answers that I hope serve you and brings out the next-level leader in you.

Things that are not normal in your life can become normal. You can decide for that to happen.

This was the case with me at the start of my business and at the start of 2022 specifically.

In this episode, I talk about the two major components of how to create your desires in your reality, so they become a normal part of your world.

045: It Doesn't Always Have to Trend

Mae Bornillo — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 01:00:00 +0800

You have a vision and a goal to succeed... don't let the lack of immediate results stop you.

In this episode, we talk about the BELIEF you have to truly believe for you to keep going and working the best you can, even when you don't see the results right away.

This is the same belief that pushes the most successful people through their toughest times.

You don't have to go viral or have the big numbers for you to succeed...publish the content, put the offer out, and launch it regardless.

We have to stop trying to control everything just so that we can "see" the success hints.

How far can you go without seeing the success clues yet?

If you see 2023 different and bigger than ever, the message in this episode IS for you.

If this spoke to you, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

This is a message to YOU who wants the big things, who has imagined stepping into a bigger business, higher income, better relationship, the perfect team, the money in the bank account, the dream home, the dream clients, the luxury holiday and all the beautiful things you can imagine.

It's an episode of awakening. These thoughts have come to you to show you what's possible for you.

When these thoughts come while your reality is the total opposite, we tend to invalidate it. Our minds trick us into "being realistic." But our reality is literally shaped by our thoughts.

Instead of invalidating, we are here to receive the thought, nurture the vision, and create a new reality. This episode is a reminder, an expansion, a wake-up call.

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 01:00:00 +0800

Take a sec to look at where you were about 4 years ago...

Without hearing from you, I'm already sure you've so far from that version of yourself. And just like that, we have a change of perspective and realize how far we've come and how much progress we've made.

This episode is about reminding yourself of the fact that where you are right now is all temporary. Be it a good or a not-so-good situation. Knowing this allows us to worry less, enjoy the moment more, and live in the now.

I also share with you here a message that I sent my friend four years ago - back when life was so different. When my business didn't exist, and money wasn't a constant. Fast forward to now, life has become so much easier. I share with you the lessons learned along the way and a few things you can do now to make this journey a bit better today.

I hope you enjoy this, and if this brings you light today, I'd appreciate it if you can leave a rating or take a snap and share it with me on IG so others can listen to it too.

041: 5 Steps to Create Capacity and Increase your Income

Mae Bornillo — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 01:00:00 +0800

Most of the time, online entrepreneurs don't hit their next-level income goal because they do not have the capacity to deliver more service to clients.

When you are fully booked and don't have any more hours in a day, you don't have time to work on your own business and handle any more clients - capping your monthly income.

This is why it's massively important to hire team members before you need them. This is you creating capacity in your business strategically so that you can go and sign more clients because you know you'll be able to deliver.

In this episode, we discuss:

> The dangers of not growing a team at the right time

> The growth and income possibility when you have the right team in place

> The five important steps to successfully grow your team

040: When They Say "Your Price is Too High"

Mae Bornillo — Sun, 13 Nov 2022 23:00:00 +0800

How do you react when people say, "your price is too high?"

Do you often believe them and walk out of the call feeling like you want to reduce your rates? Do you get the urge to offer a discount to encourage the person to sign up?

In the aligned energy of charging premium, it is different.

There is calmness. No matter what people say about your prices, you'd understand that they see it through their lenses. You are collected. You stand firm in the value you know deeply is carried by working with you.

How you set your price is a decision that you make. How others respond to it is relative to their view of money and investment.

In this session, we're going to talk about:

> how to shift your response when people react to your prices

> how to get rid of the neediness and desperation when you are in sales conversations; these things often push the clients away instead of pulling them in

> how to get to a neutral place with your mind so that you can articulate your message better; and lastly

>the two best advice I got from my mentors; I still do these two things today, and they continue to help me make sales conversations fun and potent

This is a topic I will deeply discuss in my upcoming mini-course, The Energy of Charging Premium.

Mae Bornillo — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0800

Consistent content but not attracting the premium clients you want? This could be why.

If you have a premium offer, you're likely selling to people who do not have time to implement DIY tips. This is why tips, tricks, and hacks are the types of content that will attract a premium clients if you are a done-for-you service provider such as SMM, VA, OBM, website designer, graphic designer, etc

In this episode, I talk about the three types of content that you should be publishing instead.

If we are not enjoying this whole journey and every day feels dragging, what's the point?

This might be a hard pill to swallow but let's face it - we've paid more attention to numbers more than we should to the point of losing the joy of the process.

How do we bring back the joy to our daily life as we grow our business?

How do we make this more than about the money?

035: Can You Still Get Clients without Pushing So Much Content Out?

Mae Bornillo — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0800

Can you still get clients even if you're not yet able to go ALL IN on marketing yourself online?

The answer is YES and in this episode, I talk to you about how to do that.

I got this question from a lovely lady who wants to build her business on the side of her current full-time job.

She plans on quitting the job when she hits her monthly income milestone so before that, she can't openly say she has a business.

You can still sell your services online by creating:

- Your profile with key content pieces (You can download a copy of my guide here - https://www.maebornillo.com/pcmguide)

- Your signature offer with results in a non-fancy page

034: How to Get High-Ticket Clients Faster Online

Mae Bornillo — Wed, 24 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0800

If you're wanting to sign high-ticket clients, you're going to need more than just posting content and waiting to do that.

Most clients who'd pay premium for done-for-you services don't have time to scroll through Instagram. If you want to get into a conversation with them, instead of waiting for them to book on your page, reach out and inform them of the available help you have through your service.

Most high-ticket clients want to hire quality people fast. So you have to be visible and be seen.

In this episode, I talk about how to get more leads by prequalifying people online and sending them a direct message without being sleazy or salesy.

Looking back at how life transformed 360 in the last 2 years, this is what I've realized to have made the biggest impact in my life and business.

The only difference between us and traditional businesses is that in our online business, WE ARE the first thing we invest in. But why do we have such a hard time investing in our own skills? It is our skills that we sell and people pay for it. It is an investment that's worth every penny. YOU are worth every penny.

Our skills are inflation-proof. It is that thing that nobody can take away from us.

And investing in MYSELF is my best decision to which I owe this life transformation too.

In this episode, we talk about having the courage to make life-changing decisions.
