Speaker 1: (00:02)
Hey everybody. And welcome back this week. I want to break down and explain for you the components of your online doula offerings, virtual doula offerings, maybe even in person, but of course, most of my stuff that I talk about is in the context of doing your business on line. So I want to talk about the different components, kind of a vocabulary, um, kind of a vocabulary session here on the podcast where I will break down for you, what the different layers of your offerings might be and what we call them in the digital marketing space, um, what they look like in your business and what they look like in mine. Um, and if you're like, what the heck are you talking about? I will, I will explain. So knowing that there are layers of your doula business offerings, right? So there's going to be a customer journey is something that I talk about a lot with my clients and the way that I think about this, as you're taking potential clients and people in your audience, you're taking them on a journey with you from the moment they meet you out in the virtual space, wherever that is, whatever platform wherever they hear about you, you're taking them on a journey in your business.

Speaker 1: (01:14)
And at the beginning you might not see the entire journey and what it looks like, and you might not understand what it's, what it's going to be yet. And that's okay. You know, it takes time to figure that out. It takes testing and trying things. And it, this is the key it takes just doing and just starting, because that's how you start to figure things out is just diving in

Speaker 2: (01:36)
Doing

Speaker 1: (01:40)
And knowing that not everyone that meets you online or in person is immediately ready for your highest, most intimate level of support. Right? And so, for example, um, let's give you context of like, you may be used to doing in-person events. Maybe you went to vendor, um, boots like expos for pregnant people, things like that. And you met people. It's probably not very likely that most people hired you on the spot at an expo. Um, usually you meet you connect, you get to know each other, you perhaps give them your business card. You follow up, you have another meeting, you go deeper. So this is that concept, but it's online. And so when you're meeting people online, it's even less of an energetic exchange because you're not actually seeing the person shaking their hand or, you know, something like that. Um, sometimes it's just seeing their picture.

Speaker 1: (02:28)
And if you don't even have a picture up yet, somewhere on the interwebs, please put your picture up. Um, this is your call to go ahead and put your picture up. You know, we're, we're not looking for, um, anything perfect. We just want to get to know you. And even the highest level of an energetic exchange online being video, even still, if somebody watches one video of yours, they got to know you better, but they're probably not ready to hire you for a really intimate experience like you being their virtual doula, even, um, and unpacking some pretty heavy stuff with you yet. So understanding that this might be part of their journey and not everyone that needs you right away is ready for that, that they're not there yet. There's this know like trust process, right? And also knowing that different people at different stages of their journey need different things from you.

Speaker 1: (03:17)
Right? And so what, what am I talking about? And like what might be impacting that? So sometimes what people need from you is impacted by their resources, you know? So do they have literally, do they have the funds to hire you and pay $1,500 for your birth support? And I'm using that number because that's what my doula costs, um, with my second pregnancy. So do they have that? You know, and, and there are a lot of ways people can come up with money to pay for something that's important to them, but that we know that there are also people who literally can't pay their rent this month. And so they really might not have the resources to pay you. Um, they also just might not have, you know, another thing that may be impacting, um, what they, what they desire from you and where they're at in their journey is their trust level with you.

Speaker 1: (04:05)
And so there may be somebody who has all the resources and just has no trust for people. And example that I think of when I, um, when I tell this part is I had a high profile client a while back and she was pregnant and she had resources. Money was not a thing was on an issue. Like she could pay her rent, you know, I'm not going to say she was like Oprah status. I don't know. I don't know what her financial situation was, but I know she could pay her rent and hiring a doula, paying for doula was not the thing. She didn't have a trust level for having somebody at her birth, anybody at her birth. And so I totally respect that. Right. So there was a different type of way that we worked together and she needed something different from me. Another thing that might impact what somebody needs from you is their understanding of what you do.

Speaker 1: (04:53)
So if these, if this person is not yet at a point where they really understand the value, like they know, you know, we all, I think everybody starts out their social media presence with a post it's like, what do do, hi, I'm a doula. I just finished school. Great. Congratulations. Like that is a big deal. Congratulations. I'm not, I'm not trying to, um, you know, belittle that because that's a big accomplishment, but we all start with that first post that's like doulas provide emotional, physical and dah, dah, dah, you know, like that support those sentences that we copy and paste from the doula definitions that we see online. And like, it's a starting point. We all do it. I did it too. And I've posted when I finished Julie's school too. Like we all do it. That's important, but there's going to be people who read that and they still don't understand what we do, or they might not see the value.

Speaker 1: (05:39)
So if they're at this place of like, I really don't know, I kind of heard the word doula, are they there? They catch the baby. Do they cut the umbilical cord? Who are they? What do they do? So there's some that person, then there's the other person who knows everything about doulas. You know, maybe they've even had a doula before. So like me going into my third birth, I had already had a doula once with my second. I knew I really understood the value and I wanted to hire a doula. So I was in a different space. And what I was looking for when I went to hire a doula was different than what I may have been looking for with number two, with number two, I was still kind of learning, you know? And so where people are at on their journey impacts what they need from you too.

Speaker 1: (06:28)
And then this last one is kind of related to the one I just spoke about, but where they're at in their life, you know? And so this kind of applies to the pregnant community. That's looking and considering, uh, maybe, um, people who would hire a doula, but also, um, you know, seeing this through the lens of business, like if you're looking to hire me for something as a coach in your business, where you're at in your business impacts what you might need from me to, and that will make more sense as I go through these examples, I'm going to go through kind of a vocabulary lesson. Like I told you and explain what these examples, um, these different components of your offerings might look like in your business, but I'm going to compare each one of them. So what it looks like when you work with me as well, and before I get into that, what I want to mention too is you might not yet have all of these components.

Speaker 1: (07:17)
So please don't feel like before we start listening to this, or before you start listening and I start talking, um, I don't want you to feel like I'm doing this episode to tell you, you need all of these things. I will never tell you you need, or you should, or you must have that's. Those are not ways that I coach my clients. And those are not ways that I tell people things online, unless it's relating to like anti-racism and just being a good human, you need to be a good human if, especially yeah, now and forever. Um, but in terms of business and how you run your business, I, you can ask my clients, ask anybody in the mastermind. If I've ever told them, you have to do that this way, or you need this thing, or you should do this thing. It's never like that.

Speaker 1: (07:57)
Um, I think that that's a pretty unhelpful way of coaching people. So know that you don't have to have all these things. You might want all of these things. And at some point you probably will have them. If you keep going and you stay with me here and you follow the things that I, you know, not that say that I have all the answers, right? But like, just keep going. If you keep going, keep listening to your intuition and get some coaching. You get some support along the way. Hint, hint, last week's episode, where I talked about receiving support, you may end up building all of this for yourself. So start where you're at and know that you can and likely will build if you just keep going. Okay. So the first one I want to dive into is freebies. And you've probably, you know, you may know all about this already, but when I talk about freebies, I am referring to opt-ins free downloads things that people that just meet you out on the interwebs and are in that early stage of knowing you.

Speaker 1: (08:54)
And so we talked about know, like trust. So they're getting to know you. And one of the ways that people can get to know you as they can land on your Instagram, your Instagram is actually free content. You know, if you are creating information, that's helpful, supportive, inspirational, um, and putting that, especially if you use my digital, um, my digital doulas content toolkit for content inspiration, um, then your Instagram or your Facebook, that's actually a freebie. Um, and so this might other things that this might look like in your doula business or in your birth business, you might have checklists that people can download. Um, for example, um, on my freebie library, I have a baby registry checklist. I have a breastfeeding checklist. Um, you might have a yoga video. So I have a client that one of her offerings is a yoga slash virtual doula membership platform.

Speaker 1: (09:45)
And one of her freebies is she gives a free yoga, prenatal, yoga video as an opt-in that's her download. So people can opt in and that's a really incredible, valuable, um, thing that people can download and have this intimate experience with her it's prerecorded. Um, she made it once and now that's the thing. So if people download this video, they watch this video and they're like, dang, that was awesome. And I really like her. Then they might be going further along that no white trust journey, right? You might have meditations. So if you're really into mindfulness and teaching, um, you know, guiding your clients through being more mindful in their pregnancy, maybe you have your own meditations. I have those in my library as well. And so this is that first step that many people are meeting you and deciding if they kind of click with you, you know, and get to know you and in my business.

Speaker 1: (10:36)
So I gave you examples of what that might look like for your birth business and my business on the coaching segment. Right? So I have two segments. I have part of my business where I deal with, I support pregnant people. And then the other side of my business is where I spend most of my time these days. Um, because I think it's allowing me to have a bigger impact on the birth world is supporting other birth professionals in creating sustainable businesses, um, in businesses that suit their lifestyle online. And yes, actually making money and replacing whatever their in-person stuff was with their own stuff and online. Um, so in my business, the freebies, you're listening to one of them right now. This podcast is one of the biggest, most powerful freebies in my business. Um, the doulas going digital Facebook group is another one. So if you've been a member of that group, it's a space where I've done a lot of things in there.

Speaker 1: (11:25)
I share a lot of information in there, people support each other. So that's another free thing that I have. Um, I've also had opp, like opt-ins actual opt-ins and downloads. So one of the most popular ones that I've had for doulas over the last say 15 months or so, um, since I've been working with doulas and other birth professionals was the seven step roadmap to bringing your birth misses online. And I created that in March when we kind everybody shut down and it was like, okay, how can I teach them quickly, how to get started for the person who's like, I don't know where to start. That is where people start on that journey. A lot of people, not everybody, some of you started on the podcast. Some of you met me on Instagram, but there's all these spaces that I have online with free content that you may have met me in one of those places.

Speaker 1: (12:12)
Um, it's the initial meeting, you know, the free thing, the opt-in it's that initial meeting, the first time we quote, shake hands online and how we first connect with each other's energy. And one of the most powerful ways that you probably connect with my energy is here on the podcast, because I literally feel like I'm pouring my heart into it every week. Um, you hear my voice, I mean, your ear, um, or I'm in the car with you, or I'm working out with you, whatever you're doing. So it's a very strong connection. Um, I've also done a lot of videos, so that's a really strong connection too, but I digress. Okay. The next one, the next category I want to talk about, which kind of moves people a little further along that journey. Um, or they have already raised their hand in they're in your freebie section or they've, you know, subscribed to your podcast and they listen to you every week or they go to your Instagram all the time and see what you're writing about and see what you're talking about.

Speaker 1: (13:01)
Those people who are doing that maybe likely to move on with you and take the next step with you, which may be a workshop slash class slash even a masterclass. So when I say workshop, um, the way that I think about workshops and the way I've heard other digital marketers define workshops over the last few years that I've been doing online, marketing work is a virtual workshop in person too, I suppose, but I speak virtual, um, is typically like a one, two, three hour long class. It's like one class that's, you know, one to three hours. So this is not your comprehensive birth course. That's not what this is, right. It may be live virtual. Like you meet on zoom or you do it in a Facebook group or whatever, or it could be a replay in your business or in a birth business. Even in my birth segment of my business, this was something like my breastfeeding one Oh one workshop that I did in 2018.

Speaker 1: (13:58)
Um, I did a lot of workshops in 2018 and going into 2019. And so examples where my newborn care class, my breastfeeding one Oh one class, or you may have a comfort measures class, mine was called, um, daddy doula. And if you heard me talk about it, I ended up renaming it to DIY doula because daddy doula was kind of a, a jerk way to name it, to be honest. Um, but if you know the story, I will tell you I named it that because my dad, my husband, my children's daddy, I made the class for him. I wanted him to learn how to do a meet. Um, and so I was like, Oh yeah, he's my daddy doula. You know, cause he's, he is my children's daddy. And so my community at the time, the pregnant people like me, they were like, well, we want to take the class.

Speaker 1: (14:39)
And I was like, okay. And so I started teaching it and eventually I was like, actually, this is a really crummy way to title this for if more people are gonna be doing this. Um, so it's DIY doula, that's a workshop, right? And that's what that might look like in your business is a one to three hour long, one kind of topic that you go deep on, right? And it's generally a lower price point thing. Sometimes people even do these things for free. I've done free workshops, I've done paid workshops, I've done free master classes. Um, you know, it's depends on what you're working on and where it's positioned and how it's positioned in your business. Now in the side of my business, where I work with other birth professionals, what this looks like are some of the free workshops I've done, but also some of the classes I've taught. And so, um, eventually they started to form courses and I'll, uh, that's the next step. So the third piece that people might go on this journey with you, um, or this third, um, category and definition is courses. So what's the difference. So when I think of a course and the way I've understood courses over time from the digital marketing world and quote experts, um,

Speaker 2: (15:51)
Course is more of a

Speaker 1: (15:54)
Compilation of individual classes or workshops, replays, other materials, audio files, PDFs, workbooks, videos, guides, you know, it's a con it's a, it's a compilation of these individual pieces. And so in, in the birth side of my business, and maybe in your business, what this looks like is a compilation of your workshops. You take your breastfeeding, your newborn care, your comfort measures, um, you know, whatever else you have that were individual classes and bundle them into a course. There are a lot of reasons you can do this. Um, and for me, that's exactly what I did on the birth side of my business. I have a birth course for first time moms it's like 10 modules. So it's 10 different

Speaker 2: (16:39)
Workshops put together

Speaker 1: (16:41)
Into one big course. Um, I also have the Bebac prep course, so there's,

Speaker 2: (16:46)
That's a different one, that's 11

Speaker 1: (16:48)
Modules. Um, and they all have downloadables and printables and audio versions and all the things. Um, so that's a course now price point wise, generally the course is going to be a higher price than an individual workshop, right. Because it's a compilation, but there's usually like bundle pricing available and it makes it easier as a business owner to sell because you're selling the one course. And if you position it,

Speaker 2: (17:13)
Well, I don't wanna

Speaker 1: (17:15)
Say right. Cause I don't wanna say right versus wrong, but if you position it well, it will make more sense for people to buy the bundle of workshops to get the full course. Um, and then you also know that they have a better experience because they get the whole, they get the whole shebang, they get all the pieces and they're not missing the module or the piece on C-sections, even though they might be planning a natural birth, because it's important that they know just in case right now what this looks like in my business. Right. So I explained to you the birth side and what that might look like for you two as a course, um, when I work with other doulas, when I, in the segment of my business where I'm supporting and teaching birth professionals, this is like course creation for doulas, which is so far the most popular course that I've taught to other birth professionals. And so I launched course creation for doulas in September of 2019. And I can't remember the statistic, but something like, I don't know, it's I want to say 140, maybe I can't remember, but at this point it's probably been close to 150 doulas have taken that course. Um, and it's a compilation of individually

Speaker 2: (18:19)
Classes, replays and other

Speaker 1: (18:22)
Materials, right? So course creation for doulas is one of the only standalone courses that I still have available, um,

Speaker 2: (18:29)
On my website. And the next step

Speaker 1: (18:32)
We're gonna get into, I'll explain why, but that's a course and price point wise, it's bundled together really nicely that you get the full experience. You get everything that I think is the most helpful instead of piecemealing the individual workshops and classes, it's all in one course creation for doulas to teach you how to create your very own.

Speaker 2: (18:51)
And of course the next step,

Speaker 1: (18:54)
The next component that I want to talk about is a membership and memberships have been something that we've been talking about in my mastermind, actually, for some time to several mastermind members have been thinking for 2021, we've actually been doing quite a bit of 20, 21 planning. We go really deep in the mastermind and big, we go big and we were working on vision boards and we start talking memberships and I launched a membership, um, my first membership in October of this past year. So the membership has been going for almost three months, just about three months now. Um, and let me explain what it is, right? So your membership may include your,

Speaker 2: (19:32)
Of course or courses, it's your method.

Speaker 1: (19:36)
And there's probably some component of support. So there's like a community component, right. And, and support from you. So there's two layers of support, there's community support, and then there's your support. And so when you, if you're thinking about creating a membership, or if that's on your big, big goals for 20, 21, or even 2022, just start to feel into what that might look like in terms of, um,

Speaker 2: (20:03)
The content and

Speaker 1: (20:05)
The support. Um, and at a price point, it's usually at a price point it's higher than a price point for a course, an individual course, but it's also at a price point that generally meets people where they're at, because it's usually a one to many way of working with people. So like, um, let's say I'm trying to think of great examples. So I had a, um, yeah, so let's say you start a membership on like mighty network or something like that. I forget the name of the other one. Um, P P Patrion Patrion. I don't know if I'm saying it right. Um, but you start this membership community and people get access to your birth course, all of your classes, all of your modules, if you're a yoga instructor, all your yoga videos, your, your, they get all your stuff, right. Your full experience, and it's all maybe replace.

Speaker 1: (20:52)
So you're not out there like actively teaching, teaching, teaching, teaching, doing, doing, doing, maybe it's just one new thing. You know, your support level might be once a week or once a month, or, you know, whatever works well for you with how you're pricing this. And it's you working with a larger group of people at once. And so price point wise, it tends to be a lower price point because you're able to work with a lot of people at one time. Now, obviously they're not getting that private deep experience with you. We're going to talk about that in a minute, but this might be where they're at price point wise or in their life. And when it comes to the side of my business, that I help other birth professionals grow their businesses. This might mean this. My membership meets a lot of people where they're at price wise because the membership gives you

Speaker 2: (21:39)
Tools. This

Speaker 1: (21:41)
Is tools, the courses and the, and the downloads and the tutorials and the samples and the templates and the videos. And the audio is all of the things that are in your course and in your membership, they are tools, right? So if you're at a point in your business

Speaker 2: (21:58)
Where you're very

Speaker 1: (21:59)
Early on and you don't yet have all the tools and resources, maybe a little bit more limited than a membership might be a really great option for you if you want to work together. And I wanted to kind of dive into these last two points a little bit deeper because I've had a lot of people asking me lately, what's the difference between the membership and the mastermind. There's the premier coaching center membership, and there's the dualism business mastermind. So these last two, I'm going to explain to you how they work in my business in relation to those two different offerings, but also how they work for you, right? So like in your business, let's recap a little bit in your business. Your membership will meet, may be able to meet a lot of potential clients where they're at resource wise and trust level wise and all of these things.

Speaker 1: (22:51)
And it gives them tools where it's more of a DIY where they're doing it themselves. And the importance of that this year. Well, last year we saw how important that was going into, um, the pandemic where a lot of doulas were not able to be at births and partners. We're having to learn how to support the birthing person, right? And so you're giving people tools to help them do that. You're giving them courses, workshops, classes, even a membership, perhaps where there's some live support from you. Um, and some community support where they are kind of DIY buying it. They're learning how to support themselves through this. And you're kind of holding them, holding their hand, right? Um, not literally, or else you'd be in there. And so that's what the career coaching center membership is. It's all of the tools

Speaker 2: (23:43)
To get your

Speaker 1: (23:46)
Online side of your face

Speaker 2: (23:48)
Or business off the ground. And it features my

Speaker 1: (23:52)
Method, which is the CEO method create,

Speaker 2: (23:55)
Expand. And

Speaker 1: (23:57)
So it features my method with all of the tools that you need and some ongoing support for an entire year. So when you join, you get access for a full year, you get all of my stuff, all of my core, I don't hold back, whatever I have, I pour into the membership. And then you get a little bit of support from me and you get community support. So there is a community where a peer support community where each other, they help each other. And then I pop in during my office hours

Speaker 2: (24:22)
And answer questions as well. Um, so it's, yeah,

Speaker 1: (24:27)
Like that, but price point wise, it meets people where they're at,

Speaker 2: (24:31)
You know,

Speaker 1: (24:33)
Just a different level of support. And so then there's people who will move from, and there are people who are already doing this, that take the tools that they've, they've been using in the premier coaching center, and they're ready to move into a higher level of support. And that's the last category that I want to talk about is private support or like one-on-one or small group of higher level, a deeper, more intimate level of support and what this might look like in your business. Right? So I don't offer that anymore to pregnant people because I don't have the bandwidth. And frankly, I don't have the childcare that would allow me to even be at births if I wanted to not right now and not where I'm at in my life. Um, but in your business, if you're still offering in-person private support, that might be birth support, that might be postpartum support.

Speaker 1: (25:19)
You know, that is what we're talking about here. And so if people take the tools, maybe they took your, your, um, birth classes, um, or your course, they took your birth course. And now they're like, that was really amazing. And I want you to be the person that's at my birth. If you're an in-person childbirth educator, this is something that I experienced when I was teaching in person a couple of years ago. And other childbirth educators that I've met over the years is oftentimes if you wear both hats and you are teaching in person classes,

Speaker 2: (25:46)
A lot of times it tends to

Speaker 1: (25:49)
The people that you're teaching in your class are like, can you be my doula? Can you be my dude? Right? So if you're listening to this and you're like, yes, that's totally the case. Um, then you know what I mean? Because it feeds into that. And now you've gone through that know like trust. And now you really trust this person. You've gotten to know this person in your classes, you know, when you showed up and you're in the library, or you're at a birth center taking classes, you really develop that relationship. And now you want to move on and have that, that more intimate, private experience and that level of support, which is

Speaker 2: (26:15)
Private support and price wise. Obviously

Speaker 1: (26:20)
This is going to be a higher price point because it's your, it's more of your energy sometimes. It's your one-on-one time? Well, often in the birth side, it is, it's your private time now in my business, since I'm no longer doing private one-on-one support for pregnant people,

Speaker 2: (26:36)
I do have this for doula

Speaker 1: (26:39)
In helping them grow their doula business. So what that looks like is my doulas and mastermind and the doulas in business mastermind has both components of one-on-one support and small group support. Right? And so the container that is the mastermind, there is no curriculum, there's no classes associated with it. Quote like quote classes, like there's no, there's no curriculum. There's no, um, handouts or things. I mean, occasionally I share everything with them and they have access to the membership. So when they're in the mastermind, the way that I structure this in my business is mastermind members get everything else as a bonus, they don't pay extra for the membership. They don't pay extra for workshops that I do or courses, or like the digital doula content toolkit. Some of them bought it. And I was like, no, no, no, no, you guys don't buy it.

Speaker 1: (27:32)
So I, I refunded their, their money when I announced it. Cause I guess I forgot to tell them that, like, you don't have to pay for that. Um, so that's the way I structure it is that when you're at that level, that you are ready for a more intimate experience of working together and you're ready for one-on-one work together and a very intimate small group. Then the mastermind is what you're looking for. And for some people, you know, so if you're like, well, where am I? And what does that mean in terms of where am I at in my business, for some people that are brand new in their business, that's still where they want to go. Um, because they're ready to do things right now. They want to move right now. They still want all the classes and the classes are there. They have access to the full, my full suite and my membership.

Speaker 1: (28:15)
Um, but they still want my support. They still want to be able to talk to me on messenger privately. They still want to be able to go through the core classes and, um, materials on their own time, but then come to me with like, okay, I went through this thing and here's where I'm at. What do you think of this? You know, that kind of thing. They want that intimate support from me. And they want to be a part of the container. That is the mastermind, because there's a special, there's a special magic in the mastermind container. That's why I do applications and there's no payment button to just join on my website because it's very important to me to protect the energy of the container. Um, it's important to me and to everybody else in there, right? Because I have created this really safe space where we do some big things, deep work that I don't want it to just be open free for all that anybody can pop in because there are, you know, there are times that people just don't mesh well together.

Speaker 1: (29:08)
Um, and I, and I really am, have become very mama bear, like protective over this space. It's also from my myself, right? Because not everybody is, um, not everybody likes me, not everybody, you know? Right. Obviously, you know, and same thing for you in your business. Like, you're going to know when you meet people, you have your radar on and you pay attention to like, this person doesn't feel like the right fit for me. You know? And then an example that I'm thinking of is something I heard recently, um, actually in a clubhouse room. And so if you're not yet on clubhouse, get on clubhouse because I'm starting to host rooms the day that I'm actually recording this podcast episode, I'm holding my first. I'm like, I'm moderating. I don't know what the word is, but I'll have my first room going today. So I heard somebody talking on clubhouse recently about, um, you know, having, having taken on a client that they knew wasn't a good client for them.

Speaker 1: (29:59)
And so listen to that intuition because if somebody, if you're not a good fit, it's not in their best interest for you either. You know what I mean? Like don't just take anybody who's willing to pay you because you might not show up as your best and give them your best. If you kind of know that, like they're not your ideal client, they might need to find their best too. And that would give them the best experience. And it's not, I know that's a weird feeling to feel like you're turning down money, you know, but the reality is that it creates space for something else to fill that space. And I, if you have trust, you know, if you trust in God and you trust in the universe and you trust in your mission and you trust in what you're doing, then money is part of that and money comes.

Speaker 1: (30:42)
And so turning down the things that aren't right for you will help the things that are right for you come in. And I I've believed that to my core. So I hope that that was helpful to explain, um, the difference between the premier coaching center membership and the mastermind, but also in a way that's even more helpful as you look at all the layers of support in your business and how we go from free things to tools to support is kind of that journey free, you know, getting to know each other stuff, tools like classes, workshops, courses to support, which is kind of a combo membership is kind of a combo. Um, and that private support. Um, what was the last thing that I wanted to share with you about the difference between the membership and the mastermind? Oh, the timeframes, right? So the membership is a one-year membership.

Speaker 1: (31:34)
Um, enrollment is not always open. So enrollment closed in October and it's going to reopen, I'm expecting in March this coming March right now, it's not technically open. The mastermind is open and currently enrolling. We start again, the new round starts January 21st. So this episode will come out, look at my calendar on January 12th. So as at the time that this episode comes out, we will have just about a little over a week that you can still get into this coming round to the mastermind. And it's a six month round. So we will go from January 21st until July 20th. So it's a six month container. And in that we meet twice monthly on zoom and that's that small intimate group, but I I'm the one that holds space on the, on the call. So we get on zoom. Basically, everybody takes a term, we divide up our time.

Speaker 1: (32:29)
It's a small group. Each person gets an allocated amount of time, twice a month to talk and to share what they're working on to ask for advice. And I will give you advice for wherever you're at in that space. And then in between our zoom calls, we have the community right now, it's on Facebook, it's a private Facebook community and you, it's a very active, very supportive, very loving, um, space. And that's the energy that I bring. And that's what we are available for, for each other is holding each other up, cheering each other on. And when we're having downtimes lifting each other up and I will do a lot of bonus kind of pop up, live, things that I feel called to do in there that people can watch as they have time. Um, but that's the in between support and the messenger component, of course. So that six month period I'm available to you via, um, messenger support. And I'm walkie talkie app that I use called boxer. You've probably heard me talk about it. So you get Voxer access to me. Um, and then of course you have access to the premier coaching center while you're in the mastermind.

Speaker 2: (33:34)
Um, I think that just

Speaker 1: (33:36)
About covers it. And if you have any further questions about it, um, always feel free to reach out to me, PM me, or apply for the mastermind and then I'll reach out to you and we'll chat and see if it's a good fit. Okay. I hope this has been helpful. Um, this feels like I've been rambling for quite a while on this episode, but I think it's important to give you an idea of how these components will work together in your business and what that looks like in my business. Okay, guys, I will talk to you soon. Be sure to find me on clubhouse. I'm on, I'm at Nicole joy on clubhouse. Um, if you don't have an invite head to the doulas going digital group, we had a invite train going. That's the thing that's annoying about clubhouse

Speaker 2: (34:15)
Right now is you have to be invited.

Speaker 1: (34:18)
So until they change that we're going to do our best to get everybody in, um, until it's open to the public. So if I'm Yan clubhouse, I'm going to continue the conversation there. And I will talk to you guys very soon, have a beautiful

Speaker 2: (34:29)
Week.
