Join here   TRANSCRIPT   Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the podcast. The Club doors are open. Woo. I'm so excited. I am so excited. Um, it's been a long time coming. Uh, they've been shut for a long time while we've been behind the scenes, sorting everything out, changing everything. Making the whole new thing come to life and I am so, so glad that I can finally welcome you into the Club. It has been so much fun. So let me explain the levels of the Club, because I know that, uh, now there's three levels. I just wanna make sure that you, you get what's at each level and, and also explain to you what you get at each level as well. So the three levels of the Club are the Club, the Club Plus and Executive Club. The Club is $19 a month. The Club Plus is $97 a month and the Executive Club is $197 a month. So let me explain to you what you get in each. Okay. Let's start with the Club $19 a month. So you get access to level one of the Dream Business Growth Path, so that amazing growth path that I've put together all of level ones, lessons you get. You also get all the training courses that are attached to level one. So for instance, let's say in level one, I, I talk about social media and I tell you to focus on one or two platforms and you are brand new to it. And you think actually Instagram is my thing, but I dunno how to use it. Then there's an Instagram course that then teaches you how to use it. So for a, each area of the growth path, there's normally some extra training that I've got. So you also get access to that. You have a monthly live Q and A. Now this Q and A is a Facebook live in the Facebook group. You can submit questions beforehand. And I will answer them on the live and you get that for about an hour every month. And you also get a recording of that. So if you can't attend live, but you have a question then by all means, put the question in the group and I will then come back to you and say, I answered it and it'll be on the recording. The other thing that you get as a Club member, which is so important, and I debated about whether this was in at this level, but it's so important. And actually one of the big reasons people join my world is you get the monthly mindset sessions. So the monthly mindset. Oh, gosh, careful. I would say that monthly mindset sessions. You get these on, um, once a month. They're on zoom. So you are on camera. I'm on camera, obviously, as always, you don't have to be on camera, but most of my members do cause we're very friendly. Uh you're on camera. And then basically in those mindset sessions, I walk you through a mindset exercise, varying different ones through varying different levels of your business and different challenges that you might foresee. So we've done things on limiting beliefs. We've done things on, on imposter syndrome. We've done things on time management and we've done stuff on meditation. We've done stuff on journaling. So lots of different things around mindset, just to help you really get confident with your mindset. Then you also get monthly content hours. So this is not with me. This is with the amazing Becci McEvoy from BeHeard Social and she will take you through a content hour session where she will answer your questions. She'll give you tips and advice. She'll help you plan some of your content. So the thing that you've always gotta do every month, that social media content, you can come to a content session and you can help get help with that. You also get bi-monthly challenges. So every other month we do a challenge in the group. So we've done things like Instagram challenges. We've done LinkedIn challenges, we've done content challenges. We did mindset challenge, but basically for that week, every single day, I give you a task. At the end of the week, I pick a winner and you get a prize. Um, so they're really helpful and really good to keep us focused. You also get the Facebook groups. Obviously you have access to the Facebook group with everyone else in the Club and in Club Plus and in Executive Club. And you also within that group get weekly inspired actions. So every single week I put an inspired action in there of one small thing that you can do that week. So for $19 a month, honestly, it's a steal it's so, so good value. And as with everything, you can either sign up for the year and get a discount or you can sign up for the month and see how you feel and, you know, see if it's for you. So that's what you get in the Club. So let me talk to you about the Club Plus. So the Club Plus is $97 a month, and obviously you get access to everything I've just said, but on top of that, you get all levels of the dream business growth path. So you get level two and level three stuff and you get. All the trainings within the membership. So all the trainings that relate to level two and level three and above you get access to them. On top of the $19, the, the key thing here is that you get the monthly zoom coaching calls. So these are calls where bit different to the Q and A that you come along, but you are on camera and you, I ask you to unmute yourself because often what I find is when someone is having a question, I normally have a few questions back. So it enables me to dig a bit deeper into your business. So basically those coaching calls are available on the Club Plus. And you get them every month for, I say an hour. It's not an hour. They're normally about two, to be honest, depending on how long, but I normally answer everyone's questions and people come on and just listen, cause they normally learn so much good stuff. You also get so I'm just scanning down the list. You also get monthly team co-working. What I mean by team co-working is it's not with me. It's one of my team. However, what they do is they give you the space to co-work. So we open up my zoom room and you come in. And at the beginning of the zoom, it's a two hour session. We ask what you're gonna be working on, you all quietly work together, and then we keep your accountable at the end to see how you got on. So that's part of plus. You also get free access to the online version of the SOAR event. We have an event called SOAR and, um, you get free access to that. The online version. You also get the members only podcast. So all the coaching calls are and all the Q and A's are put onto a members only podcast, and you get access to that. So if you can't make a Q and A, or you can't make a coaching call, then you can listen to it afterwards on a podcast app, uh, as a private podcast in the car when you're doing things, whatever, whatever. Cause I know it's not always easy to have that on your computer watching it. Uh, and then the other thing you get on top of the other stuff that I've already said in, in...
