Welcome to the Uncomplicated Podcast with Sarah Leather. I help women to radically simplify their businesses and lives. This brings them more clients, more money, and more time for them.
In this episode, I dive into a hot topic that’s been coming up a lot lately – what are the best offers to sell this year?
A new client asked me recently, “Are people still buying coaching?” And the answer is a big, resounding YES. Yes, people are still buying coaching – because people have problems, and coaching offers real, meaningful solutions.
We’ve definitely seen some shifts in the online coaching space – especially following the boom during the pandemic – and it’s true that some businesses with shaky foundations have collapsed. But that doesn’t mean coaching isn’t working anymore. In fact, I believe there’s never been a better time to be a coach, mentor, or consultant.
In this conversation, I talk about:
I also share some behind-the-scenes stories about my clients’ wins – like one who just delivered her first masterclass and had nearly every attendee book a call with her. It’s these simple systems that work.
We also talk about trust in the industry, delivering on your promises, and why people are becoming more discerning in how they spend their money. It’s all about delivering true value, in a way that feels good to you and gets results for your clients.
✨ If you want to find the best offer for you – the one that feels aligned, easy to deliver, and brings in consistent income – this episode is for you.

Current trends in online business coaching @ 0:01
Sarah explores the latest developments in the online coaching industry, highlighting the challenges faced by larger coaching businesses. She explains how smaller, personalised one-on-one and small group coaching setups have proven more resilient, thanks to stronger foundations and a client-centred approach.
Importance of resilience and adaptability @ 1:29
Building inner resilience and adaptability is key to navigating business challenges. Sarah shares actionable insights on how to pivot your business model, diversify income streams, and bounce back from setbacks without losing momentum.
Shift towards lower-priced offers @ 11:05
Sarah discusses the rising popularity of affordable "micro" offers and courses, which serve as an accessible entry point for new clients. She explains how these smaller offerings can build trust and lead to more substantial investments in the long term.
Importance of trust and transparency @ 19:02
The coaching industry has seen a decline in trust due to unmet expectations with high-ticket offers. Sarah stresses the importance of transparency, honesty, and consistently delivering value to rebuild client confidence.
Evolving marketing and sales tactics @ 22:16
There’s a noticeable shift away from aggressive "bro marketing" methods. Sarah highlights the growing preference for relationship-focused marketing strategies and more personalised, accessible coaching experiences.
Advice for business owners @ 30:17
In her closing remarks, Sarah encourages business owners to prioritise mindset shifts, stay true to their unique identity, and seek the right support. She also shares the importance of maintaining strong client retention strategies and continually improving, regardless of external market trends.

I'm thrilled to have my special guest Caitlin Bacher in this episode.
Caitlin specialises in growing an online course business without launching. If you're done with the stressful launch rollercoaster you are going to love this. This topic is so close to my heart as many of my clients have hired me to help them sell their offers after burnout from repeated launching.
As the CEO of Scale with Success®, Caitlin Bacher is dedicated to teaching coaches and course creators how to transform their online course into a 7-figure business - without launching. Caitlin believes there’s more than one right way to build a business, and that if launching isn’t your cup of tea, you don’t have to do it.
She learned this lesson the hard way; for her, launches meant inconsistent revenue, sleepless nights, and stress. After Caitlin pivoted from launching to selling, she unlocked consistent revenue, scaled, and made her first million in only nine months. She now teaches this method to course creators all over the world.

In this episode, I dive into the power of defining your "one simple thing" and how it can transform the way you approach your business. Here’s what you can expect:
Defining Your "One Simple Thing" @ 0:42
I break down why it’s so important to have clarity on your “one simple thing”—the core of what you do, who you help, and the problem you solve. This clarity sets the foundation for your marketing, messaging, sales, and all your offerings.
Simplicity and Abundance @ 1:32
Here, I talk about the relationship between simplicity and abundance in business. When we overcomplicate things, it makes our work harder. But when we stay focused on our “one simple thing,” everything flows more easily.
Overcoming Obstacles to Clarity @ 3:08
I address one of the biggest challenges I see for women in business—not visibility or imposter syndrome, but a lack of clarity on their "one simple thing." Once you have this, taking action becomes so much easier.
Putting It into Practice @ 3:46
I share a personal story of how knowing my "one simple thing" helped me get through my marketing and sales activities quickly, even on a day I was feeling stuck.
Offering to Help Define Your "One Simple Thing" @ 6:52
If you’re struggling to define your "one simple thing," I’m here to help. This is a core part of the work I do with my high-paying clients, and I know how crucial it is for success in any business.For anyone ready to bring more simplicity, clarity, and focus into their work, tune in to this episode to start defining your "one simple thing."

I help women to radically simplify their businesses and lives. This brings them more clients, more money, and more time for them.
In this episode, I dive into my favourite topic, sales. I speak about how selling has changed over the years and what a difference it’s made to simplify the way I sell and the way I teach my clients to ‘sell without selling’.

It is so important to know what simple tasks you need to do each day in your business.
But it's so easy to get caught up in the 'busy work' of running your business and working with clients. And for yet another day to go by with no marketing done.
What if all of your marketing could be done first thing in 30 minutes?
What if these became 'non-negotiables'?
In this episode, I tell you what I do as my daily non-negotiables.
We do these 'Daily Non-Negotiables' regularly in my beautiful women's mentoring program called WOW Academy.

Next in the Reinvention Sessions I talk about the ups and downs of business growth.
There will come times when you are running your business when you begin to question a program you are selling.
You may question the length of the program, the price or how you are marketing it.
This happened to me last year when I had a strong sense that I needed to stop running a program that I loved but I didn’t have the bandwidth for.
In this episode, I go through several things to think about when you are faced with this decision. Should you just ‘stick it out’? Or stop it and refund?
I also shared my plans for a current program Wholehearted Marketing and the planned upgrade.

I’m still buzzing after the Menopause Summit on Saturday- a real live event where I got to connect with so many leaders in the industry. It was organised by Wellness Warrior Catherine O'Keeffe and my notebook is bursting with takeaways.
One of the many speakers that stood out for me was Dr Sabina Brennan, a health psychologist and neuroscientist who spoke about Brain Fog.
In this episode, I share a lot of Sabina’s key points as well as some of my own experiences working with those going through menopause.
You can read about her here, make sure you check out the book Beating Brain Fog:

I’ll be sharing a lot more takeaways soon as well as my brand new masterclass called the ‘5k Mind- the mindset & method for consistent 5k months’:
https://thesarahleather.com/5kmind/
Growing an online business takes time. I took the longest time- many years - to make $500 a month online and then another year to make 5k a month.
In this episode, I talk about how slowing down is actually a good thing and how to stop giving yourself a hard time because you're not 'there' yet.
Everyone wants the 'formula' for 5k months. Yes, you need to know the steps to take. But without the mindset to support you, it will take way longer to get to your income goal.
Join me in the 5k Mind (free masterclass) to get the mindset and method for consistent 5k months.
https://thesarahleather.com/5kmind/
In this episode I share my number one strategy for making money in my business & it’s probably not what you think!

Take a look at the Zone of Magic Masterclass, it is an incredible process to get you aligned with your business and create/realign your offers. Then we will co-create your message so that your dream clients will look at what you’re posting & scream ‘she’s speaking straight to my heart. Is she inside my head?’

I've heard many women lately talk about retiring and they don't understand why it's not for me.
My friends who are business owners get it. It's great to be able to retire any time they choose. But it's also amazing to choose to do your soul's calling. No matter what age you are.
'I don't want to spend my days going to galleries and knitting' said Marlene, an entrepreneurial colleague & mentor.
Recent studies are looking at the age when women come into their prime.
The results are heartwarming. In the past, it was considered that a woman was in her prime in her 30's & 40's. Whereas it's much closer to her 60's or 70's, maybe even her 80's.
Would you like to be part of the best business & marketing mentoring program for women over 40? The doors to Wholehearted Marketing are now open. I would like to invite you to join us, it will give you all you need to show up, share your message, connect with your dream clients and sell your offers.

On this week’s episode, Sarah speaks with her cliet Deirdre Martin. Deirdre is an expert in Customer Experience and shares so much value.
Many small service-based businesses struggle to attract and retain their ideal clients. With marketing and customer experience coaching, they clarify their message and effectively craft their customer’s journey to scale and grow a successful business full of their ideal clients.
Deirdre knows that most small business owners want to build a successful business whose reputation precedes them and where the sales and growth look after themselves. To do that, they need to clarify their message, illuminate their marketing and find a way to convert their existing clients into their raving fans.
The problem is getting their ideal clients to stop scrolling and take action when they come across their business and then figuring out how to retain those who do become their clients, which can leave them feeling overwhelmed. They should have messaging like a beacon to their ideal clients and a journey that their clients will want to use megaphones to tell everyone about.
Deirdre Martin, founder of CX Creators and Deirdre Martin Consulting gets it, which is why she studied customer experience back in 2015. She is a practiced performance coach with qualifications in coaching culture and emotional intelligence. She has co-authored a #1 bestselling book about Customer Experience, where she talks about how Human Experience is Fundamental to Customer Experience.

These days there is a lot of talk and much being done for menopause support in the workplace (& about time too).
Finally, the incredible talent that women in their 40's, 50's & 60's is beginning to be recognised. But what about women who are running their own business at this age & stage of their lives?
They probably don't need so much support with their environment as most entrepreneurs are working from home or office where they can control things like heating and space.
There is more to it than that. There is usually a combination of physical and emotional support that can not just make things more tolerable but help them to realise that menopause is actually a superpower.
Yes, confidence, moods & decision making can be challenging. As can sleep, energy and a host of other things. Hormones are changing. The 'caring & nurturing hormones' such as oestrogen & progesterone are decreasing. At this time of life, we are not meant to be spending our days caring for others & ignoring our own needs.
We are meant to start thinking about our own needs first. It's time to go inwards and ask yourself what you really want.
What do you want for your business? What do you want for yourself?This episode explores how menopause isn't a time to sit quietly in the corner & wait for retirement. It just might be a time when life starts to truly begin. Soon there will be a 5-day virtual retreat called Be Seen & Sell Challenge.
You can see it here:
https://thesarahleather.com/retreat/
Throughout our time running our businesses, confidence drops for short periods.
This is normal. When it goes on for a significant period of time, then some extra support may be needed.
But having a coach who gets it can be a game-changer.
Lots of things help to create confidence in your marketing, such as consistency.
Consistency created confidence.
Showing up when you’d rather not creates confidence.
Getting support from other women in business creates confidence.
The doors are now open for Wholehearted Marketing. This program is going to change the way women market their businesses.
I’d love you to join us. You can see it here:

I’ve spoken before about plugging your leaking holes in your business (see episode 013) where I spoke about stopping turning up the tap to solve the problem but instead needing to ‘plug’ your leaks. This is still true in many areas of your business, but I want to share some thoughts I’m having around this.
A couple of weeks ago I was being coached around my thought that I was wasting time. I now have a lot of time available as my business is beautifully scaled, but I was having thoughts about spending too much time doing unproductive things. If I just focused more earlier in the day, then I could finish earlier & have more free time. This is the story I was telling myself, and it made perfect sense.
I wasn’t looking for my coach to give me time management tools- I have those & teach them.
I wanted her to show me what I was doing ‘wrong’ so I could move past it & function much more efficiently. Again, this made perfect sense. Until it didn’t.
I thought I had leaky holes in my day. Wasting time doing unnecessary things.
Turns out I was not.
I wanted more free time to do the things I was actually spending my time doing. I was giving myself a hard time about something that wasn’t a problem. I love how coaching helps me to see things in a whole new light.
And this is when I had a big aha about all things leaky holes. It’s in doing things imperfectly, doing them our own way, that is where the marketing magic happens.
In the words of Leonard Cohen:‘There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in’
I was trying to be the ‘perfect marketer’ in my business & follow a perfect plan. This has inspired me to teach the Wholehearted Marketing Masterclass & you can join us with the link below.
Listen to this episode to hear how I created the 6 Principles of Wholehearted Marketing, rooted in imperfection. Cracks and all.
Share your magic everywhere that you are imperfect- it what your dream clients want.
They don’t want perfect. They want human. They want all of our struggles, experience, typos, failures, life.
They want you being you. Let go of thinking your marketing has gaps to be filled, leaks to be plugged or cracks to be closed. It doesn’t.
Just show up as you, share you, share the value you have to offer- which is a clever way of saying to share your thoughts. That’s all marketing is. Giving your thoughts away for free.
I know you can do that.

We are often told the reasons that we’re not showing up consistently in our businesses is because we lack discipline, we are self-sabotaging or need to be better at focusing.
I don’t believe this is usually the problem and can just add to the shame we already feel for not doing business ‘properly’.
I believe it is because of trauma. We all have some form of trauma and it affects up in different ways.
For me, menopause has created an emotional roller-coaster and the effect has been (often crippling) lack of confidence and inconsistency with marketing.
If trauma hasn’t been healed prior to menopause, it will reappear during times of big hormonal change.
You don’t need to stop working on your business while you heal, but it’s important that you work with people who can help.
In this episode, I share why I’m rebranding to Wholehearted Marketing Podcast. Yes, I have changed the name before. And no, I don’t care if I’m judged about it!
I also share about how a simple reframe away from ‘consistency’ to something much more fun, can be a game-changer for you.
I’m following my heart. My whole heart. Just as my clients follow theirs.
I will soon be sharing my 6 Wholehearted Marketing Principles during a brand new workshop.

Before we lurch forwards into the coming year, first we need to reflect on 2021 and all that we are grateful for.
This episode doesn’t focus on gratitude, however it is mentioned first as it’s so important to look at what has happened for us over the past year.
What this episode focuses on is the 3 steps that make the framework for your 3 year scale plan.
The first step is your ‘business model’. This is the way you attract and work with your clients. Whether you have a 1:1 or 1:many model, or a combination of both, it’s important to be clear what offers you are going to have in 2022.
The second step is having a clear business strategy. Like using ‘The 1:Many Method’, to create clients for signature programs with a workshop.
Instead of doing all-the-things, you just need to do this one thing.
Lastly, you need the mindset to keep showing up and asking for the sale. Everyday, be on to your brain.
Next week there is a free training series to go through these 3 steps in detail. If you want to finish this year with more clients and set yourself up for a powerful 2022 with more impact & income, you can join here:

In this episode, Sarah speaks about the one thought that is now her guiding light towards 7 figures & what it was when she was on the path to 6 figures.
Whether you are currently working 1:1 & thinking about a group program, you feel you’re not ready for group, or possibly have a group but would like to fill it with more ideal clients, then this is a ‘must-listen’ episode.
Hear about:
1. When you need to have a ‘3-year scale plan’
2. How it’s easy to get caught up in all the ‘how’ and endless ‘to-do’ lists and what to do about it
3. Why it’s important to follow a simple strategy to get clients signing up for your signature program, and why it’s also imperative to be taking care of yourself in the process
4. What to do when friend’s message you about going for a coffee break, when a networking pal wants to ‘pick your brains’ or when the washing needs doing or dinner needs organising during your working hours
5. How creating as much space as possible in your schedule is vital for the mindset of scaling
Go here to sign up for Sarah’s next free online event where you’ll hear a lot more about simple strategies and mindset for scaling to 6 & 7 figures with a group program:

We all know that we have to get out of our comfort zone to be more successful. It’s not new. We know that what we want is on the other side of our comfort zone.
But we can get stuck as to how to do this.Most women I work with are over 40, maybe stepping into peri-menopause or menopause. They can be totally unaware of why they are not as courageous as in the past. I didn’t used to have a problem asking for a testimonial.
Or putting my prices up.
Or asking for press.
Going on telly.
When I did 2 TEDx talks I realised I was imploding with fear.
What if I messed up?
What if I failed? The way to deal with this is to purposely put yourself in uncomfortable territory.
Listen to this episode for examples of many ways you can do this. Be warned, there is a side-effect of doing this. Your business might just grow. A lot. Are you ready to get your brave on? Make sure you are signed up here to save your seat for my next all-new totally f.r.e.e masterclass:
https://thesarahleather.com/retreat/
Are you stuck on a roundabout in your business & not making the decisions you need to make? Whether it’s pricing, niching, or what you will include with your program.I share with you how to be in the mindset of a woman who makes decisions and moves forward in her business. Only 10% of women get to 6 figures and less than 2% get to a 7 figure business.
Do you know what you want? Are you being too modest? It’s time to decide what you really want. Once you know this, you can decide what you need to be thinking every day to be in the emotion that will drive your actions.
This is how you get the results you want. This is what we do in Signature Program School. If you’d like to speak to us to explore if we can help you to create the business you want, then book a call here:https://thesarahleather.com/consultcall/
Several years ago hit a plateau building my business. Coaches said to me ‘Sarah I can’t understand why you’re not further ahead- you should be a 7-figures by now’. Oh the shame!
Of course, others only reflect our own insecurities and thoughts. What was wrong with me? My business was growing each year but only slowly.
I had previously tripled my business to get to 6-figures & thought I would continue with this exponential growth.
I was struggling with marketing. Which was not good as I taught marketing! I was running workshops called Easeful Marketing yet I was finding it so hard. I just wanted to hide. I buried myself in my programs and served my clients well. But I wasn’t showing up so of course my business wasn’t growing the way I wanted it to.
I'll never forget the day I broke down on a mastermind call. I felt so much shame as I confessed something that was holding me back in my business.
I was feeling so stuck, overwhelmed and verging on burnout. I was hiding and struggling to get new clients for my program.
I took a deep breath & blurted out 'I f***ing hate marketing'.
My coach gave me a lecture about how lucky we were to be able to market the way we do and how I just needed to get on with it. My brain felt so scattered and I couldn’t focus on any 1 task. I was scrolling all over the place and always had about 35 tabs open (this still happens lol).
But marketing wasn't the real problem, it was just a symptom of what was really going on.
My confidence was shattered and I was overthinking everything. It was several months later when it came to a head and I couldn't get out of the chair to go to a networking meeting I was speaking at. I was completely frozen & shut down.
I hadn’t been like this since post-natal. Hello menopause hormones. It had probably been happening for several years beforehand, since stepping into the realm of peri-menopause. Since doing the research on this I realised the biggest symptoms weren’t so much the physical hot flushes etc (although they can be quite debilitating) but the emotional health ones like brain fog, anxiety, and low confidence.
I got the support I needed and navigated my way to a more gentle way of marketing in my business.
I needed to niche down, radically simplify and have a very simple plan to scale my business.
I also needed to recognise that most business coaches “coach from the ‘A’ line”. What this means is it’s all about the action that we take. But what drives action? It’s our feelings/emotions. And where do our feelings/emotions come from? Our thoughts. The shame wasn’t coming from the fact that I wasn’t at 7 figures. It was coming from the thoughts I was having that building slowly was wrong & lack of self-belief causing thoughts.
Most business coaches are also unaware of the impact peri-menopause & menopause have on a woman over 40. As I was too. Even after working with women with hormonal problems for 25 years in my previous business.
I’m now so grateful to have walked (& am still walking- this is a long road that lasts for a decade or longer) this path. I now get to give the gentle marketing tools & mindset believes needed for women at this age & stage of their business.
It's now such a joy & privilege to be able to support women in their businesses who are trying to navigate this path too.
Menopause isn’t a time to sit quietly in the corner. It’s a time when a woman is stepping into her prime. But she needs to do things differently. The marketing & sales tactics that work in your 20’s & 30’s are not working in your 40’s, 50’s & beyond.
If you are an experienced coach or consultant and want a simpler way of doing business that gets incredible results, come along to The 1:Many Method 5-Day Retreat so I can show you a simpler & way more effective way to do business using The 1:Many Method.
What is this method I hear you ask? It is a way of filling your group program with beautifully aligned clients using the simplest way possible- workshops. Running regular workshops is an amazing way to generate leads, & invite people to work with you.

When I created the first online course in my previous business I made ALL of the mistakes.
I thought the platform was everything and I paid a substantial sum of money to have someone build the members site, after months of obsessing about which platform to use.
It was so big & complicated, I never used it.
I created a basic password-protected page on my website, after spending weeks trying to figure out how to do it & just got it out there. I knew there had to be an easier way but I spent years figuring it all out.
While I was delaying, procrastinating & being a perfectionist, I wasn't helping anyone. I was maxed out with 1:1 clients and exhausted.
Would you like to know the right way to get your course out of your head & into the hands of clients who would love to pay you?
I'm running a workshop soon called Course Creation Magic.
And you're invited.

Is your next 10K sitting right under your nose?
I was writing my shopping list this morning & wrote ‘berries’ so I would remember to get plenty of fresh berries for my breakfast.
When I was walking to the car I looked sideways & thought to myself ‘the lovely blackberries are out already, I must tell Mum’. My mother lives in Australia but grew up on this side of the world & still misses the seasonal berries that grow in the countryside each autumn.
Then it dawned on me that I don’t need to buy them- they are right here. I collected a huge haul last autumn which kept us going most of the winter. Funnily enough, I’ve written about berries in the past when I was writing about how menopause was affecting me. For 2 years I didn’t see the berries until mid-October when they were finished & all that remained was some shriveled up ones. I had walked past them on my daily stroll to the beach every day for a month- 2 years in a row without seeing them. And probably bought them in a shop. This is how our brain can be at this important time of our lives- detached from what’s going on around us. Just like in pregnancy when we get ‘baby brain’ so that we focus on the new life we’re creating, I believe that ‘memo brain’ is an important time that our hormones are helping us to self-reflect & go inwards. More on this another day.
This got me thinking about women and how it affects their business (it doesn’t take much for my brain to think this way, it’s become a habit over the last few years).
What else is sitting right under our noses? I often say that your next 10K is sitting right under your nose, and as the nose on your face, you can’t see it yourself.
I believe dream clients are everywhere. You just need to speak to their heart.
I’ve just picked a bowl of beautiful blackberries for a snack later. In the process, I dropped the biggest, most succulent-looking berry. I thought about leaving it there but really wanted it. It was the best one.
I stuck my hand into the brambles & got my berry. But scratched myself & got a splinter in the process which will take some time to extract.
Grasping for something never works. When we do this in our business it doesn’t work either. Grasping for new leads or clients? How does it feel? A bit uncomfortable?
Let the berry sit on the ground. A bird will be very happy to find it. There are plenty more berries on the bush, just like there are so many more clients out there for you.
I'm going to be speaking about making money in menopause during my live event next week, see the link below. I'd love you to join us here:

I'm recording this episode from the most amazing place. Iceland. I've had SO many breakthroughs. In today's episode I share one of them. I was being like all the others. The gazillion other business coaches out there saying the same things. Work less. Earn more. Get more clients. Get more leads. Blah blah f***ing blah. Then I started speaking more from my heart, not my head. I started speaking about the struggles of showing up when you’re 40+ (or 55 in my case).
I began speaking about the challenges of doing business in midlife. About confidence dropping, health challenges appearing and fear running the show. I started giving women permission to be themselves in their business and follow their dreams like no one is watching (they're not until you’re ready). I stopped looking at what everyone else is doing & stayed (mostly) in my own lane. I made peace with my inner people pleaser & started thinking about pleasing myself more. I created a ton of boundaries, this one is a gamechanger. I’m not like all the others & neither are you. I have a signature program that will unleash your inner entrepreneur like never before. If you’re quietly ambitious & ready to make a little bit more noise, we need to speak.Ready to stop being so blah?

I am always being asked by my clients what way they should work with their clients, and how do they get the ‘holy grail’ of passive income.
Everyone wants to stop trading hours for dollars, and that’s a great intention. If it is giving you the income you want, there is nothing wrong with working with just a few clients; however there is a still a lot of coaching hours in your day with this method, and the next step is to create a group program.
Today I want to talk to you about the different ways to scale your business and move away from the hours for dollars scenarios.
There are of course lots of ways; membership sites, retreats, writing books or selling paid workshops which all take your business from the 1:1 scenario to leveraging and scaling your business. I use the 1:Many model to help my clients fill their programs with a lot more ease and the three main ways I coach my clients to scale are:
1. Online courses. This is often what people go to first, aiming to make money while they sleep. The reality is that if you haven’t built an audience, it can be really hard to sell it, especially if they haven’t done the research to make sure you are solving a problem your audience wants to have solved and are willing to pay for. However, there is a time for it, once you have your online program running as it’s much easier to make money from an online course once you have your group program established.
2: Group programs. I coach my clients to start with a group program. Starting with a premium group program where you charge just above the mid-level is a great place to position yourself and there can be so much more ease in marketing and selling it than a low price program. Within the program you include lots of different elements like teaching, accountability, coaching, mentoring, and resource assets to help your clients get results. A premium group program, I believe, is one of the best ways to position your offers to get paid more, work less and helping more people. This is the definition of scaling.
The clients in my mastermind have access to my signature program so they can dip into the information they need, but people in there are at a similar level and have higher level discussions. A Mastermind is about the mastery of the mind, and developing thought leadership, and is a very different model to the group program.
When it comes to stopping trading hours for dollars and filling your premium group program, what is really important is that you have a method for people to find out about you, to attract your ideal clients and that you market to just the people whose problem you can solve.
I am doing a free masterclass on the 24th Of August, all about how to fill your premium group program. You can join at the link below, and we would love to see you there.

Along with this, I am offering a free consult with my expert team to see how the 1:Many method can work in your business. There is nothing like having an expert’s eye on your business and they will help you to see what is possible for you. So many keep their dreams too small because of a fear of failure or because things haven’t worked out in the past. My team will help you to step into seeing what is possible for you.
I have been helping women in business for around ten years now and I can see what works. If you try to teach everything it is easy for your clients to become overwhelmed, which is why I teach one method and help other women to walk the path I have walked which is the most easeful way to set up your business.
It is important that you have a strategy, that you are following a strategy and being led by someone who has walked the talk and has been in your shoes and knows exactly what works and what doesn’t. I love doing hotseat calls in my program so everyone gets a chance to ask a question and get coached on their mindset or strategy and that is vital. It is so important that you have someone to help you with your mindset, as it is often the biggest thing that stops you in your tracks so it is important to have the right support to help you to see what is possible, even if you can’t quite see it yet.

As a general concept, I agree that you shouldn’t trade hours for dollars. Unless of course the dollars you’re charging mean you’re making the income you would like. But, if you’re having to hustle to fill your client slots and you’re charging a low hourly fee, that’s absolutely a burnout model. I know, because I’ve been there.
In this episode, I share that less than 10% of women make 6 figures in their business and don’t make enough money for the lifestyle they would like. The reality is that 6 figure turnover is equivalent to a salary of 50k or 60k, so we need to make money. It’s important to understand that there is no more time, money and effort involved in having big financial goals than tiny ones. If you have modest goals in your business, there is no problem with that at all. The problem is that when women play small because some kind of fear of failure is holding them back from having the goals they really want. But when you realise it is no more work to have bigger goals, everything can really change for you. Only 2% of women hit 7 figures in their business. It may not be a goal for you. I have a lot of clients who are on their way to creating a 7 business, but most will have 6 or multiple 6 figures dreams. You can totally do that, but you have to have the vision first. To get to either of those goals means moving past trading dollars for hours to the 1: Many Method. With this way of scaling your business, you are serving more people, making more money in fewer hours and moving you past the time for money trap.
Can you relate to this? Are spending all your time, energy and money pursuing 1:1 clients, perhaps charging a small session fee or a small bundle of sessions when you could be creating higher-priced sessions or a higher-priced program?It is no more effort to enrol clients in a group program than it is to find 1:1 clients. I like to teach an ongoing enrolment process, which takes away the stress of enrolling a lot of people at any one time. If you’re enrolling 2/3 people a month into your signature program, it’s not that hard to have 10k months. This way you get clients who pay in full or pay by instalments. It’s great to have full payments, but also great for cash flow to have monthly payments coming in as well.I have a vision of helping 1000 women to have 6 and multiple 6 figures in their business by 2025. For me, it’s not just about the money, it’s about the impact I am making. And the impact my clients and team are making. This method helps us to work with much more ease and to help more people. But it’s so important to show up. Your business can’t outperform your ability to lead it. Business is a roller coaster and I help my clients to even out those ups and downs, but they have to be there to help us to grow along the way. Personal growth will still be needed along the way. It may feel hard, but that’s ok because you come out so much stronger at the end of it, and hopefully a lot more money too! If you would like to have a look at your business model, you can book a session with one of my Success Mentors to get their help to plan out your business. They are experts in creating Signature Programs and would love to help you. They will look at where you are now, where you want to go, and see if you are dreaming big enough in your business. We will help you to step into your vision and be part of that 10% with a 6 and multiple 6 figure business and create that vision you really desire.Book your Consult Call with a Success Mentor here while they are available:

In this training, Sarah will take you through all the steps the Kickstart day that Sarah uses with her clients to give the participants a real deep dive into it. This is a pivotal part to her Signature Program School and super important to get this mapped out whether you are new to business or have been in business for a while and want to map out a new income stream, or have an area of your business that doesn’t feel in alignment.

Love it or hate it, Facebook is an incredible free marketing tool.
One of the most valuable parts of this platform is the ability to harness groups to create clients.
As I’m sure you’ve heard me say before, clients are not created on Facebook. Or any other social media platform, or your website.
Clients are created in your mind with your thoughts. I’m not going to go into this too much today as I want to give you some fab tips on using groups to generate, nurture and convert leads into paying clients.
You have 2 choices with groups:
Here is my basic group strategy with my own group:
Run a monthly 5-day virtual retreat where I give incredible value
Do a weekly live show in-between.
Post most days.
Have some cool stuff in the Guides eg weekly live show replays.

VIP Days (also called Intensives or Strategy Days) can be an incredible part of your business, offering huge value to your client/s as well as being highly profitable.
They are a way to work intensively with your client to deliver a particular result.
In this episode I share all the details I can so you can create your own VIP Day in your business.
I’ve done over 60 VIP Days in my business, helping clients to map out a strategy & mindset for success.
As I no longer offer 1:1 work with clients & am all about the 1:Many, I thought VIP Days were a thing of my past.
But no! Group VIP Days work so well.
I’ve done them in-person, including a London event (where I trained on business strategy in morning & did a mastermind session all afternoon) plus at my retreats.
Now I’m creating one in my Signature program to do a Signature Program Kickstart.

Why you need a hybrid group coaching program to scale your business to 6 & multi-6 figures.
I love Signature group coaching programs SO much- especially a ‘hybrid’ one. By hybrid, I mean layers of support built in that isn't just ‘2 group calls a month’.
I teach The 1:Many Method which basically means using workshops to fill your Signature Program. This can be 1:1 or group program. By Signature I mean your process. The steps you take your clients through to get a result.
The aim for your group program is to get the best possible results for your clients. I believe having a hybrid Signature Program will do this better than any other business model. Even better than 1:1 work.
In this episode I share:
All of the ‘elements’ that can be included in your program.
How your hybrid program doesn’t have to have 1:1 support with you.
What I’m doing in my business to scale to 7-figures with my hybrid group program.
Why you don’t have to have a hard start & finish date to your program & what to do instead.

Are you sacrificing your long-term vision for short term success? This is a question I’m always asking my mastermind clients.
Yes, we need to make money in the short-term. Every business owner needs to know how to create cash fast. Without cashflow- a business is not a business.
I want every one of my clients to have a ‘scaling’ mindset. To scale your business means 3 things:
I love working with a ‘3 year scale plan’. Of course we never know exactly where we will be in 3 years but if we have a scale plan then we know what we need to focus on over the next 6-12 months to move towards the 3 year goal.
I have the dates of my signature workshops mapped out for the next 6 months which means I know the focus with my business every week.
You can have a 3 year scale plan to get to 6, multi-6 or 7 figures.
The best way I know how to get there is with a hybrid group coaching program. Yes, there are lots of business models that can take you to the income you desire. But for me, it’s so important that my clients get the best results possible. For this, they need more than coaching or training alone. They need help with accountability, implementation and focus.
They need mindset help to keep them on the path when their brain tells them they are not in the mood today (top tip- stop waiting to be in the mood). And they also need reminding to have some fun along the way.
Scaling needs to be SIMPLE. You need a strategy to do it. That’s why I love The 1:Many Method SO much. It’s a simple plan to fill your Signature Workshop to fill your Signature Program.
Scaling also needs a lot of mindset support. It’s one thing to have a plan, it’s another to implement and show up. I have a process I use with my clients that helps them to see their thoughts are creating their current reality. I help them to align their thoughts to the results they want to create and this is where the magic happens. Your business can’t outgrow the belief you have in yourself to run it.
A big part of working my 3 year scale plan is being accountable to my ‘boss’. Of course I’m the CEO of my company but there’s something more important than me. My calendar.
If you want a crystal ball to tell you exactly what’s going to happen in your business, then look at your calendar. It’s all there. Or not!
I build a lot of spaciousness into my schedule. Time for deep thinking & journaling.
But mostly it’s lead gen, lead nurture, lead conversion & delivery to clients with my group calls. Not so sexy! But that’s where the fun and freedom is.

This week Sarah speaks with her client Teresa Haag about her transition from a corporate career to being a full-time artist & coach.
‘I left a comfy corporate job and built my art business from the ground up...raising two babies, pinching every single penny. I knew I was meant for more...but I just didn't know how to get there - so I figured it out, and in just a couple of years had a multiple 6 figure art business...but more importantly, was spending my days making my art, sharing it with people, and building a business and a life that I could have never imagined possible.’
Listen to this entertaining episode and hear how it’s possible to go from the ‘starving artist’ mentality in any industry and create a multiple-5 figure business doing what you love.

Recently one of my clients said ‘it’s easy for you because you’re already a thought leader as a business coach’.
A “thought leader” is someone who is seen as an expert in a specific field; they're capable of introducing new ideas and influencing other people in the industry to make certain decisions or take certain actions.
This is why you need ONE Signature Thing to go all in with & own your thought leadership.
In my former health niche, I was called ‘the baby making lady’. I always maintained that the title was given to me by my students at the college where I lectured & supervised in the student clinic.
Yes, I was given this title. But I didn’t have to receive it. I could have continued to promise to help all the people with all the things.
And I became a ‘thought leader’ in this industry. Because I chose to be one.
On this episode I share with you:
How I used to struggle with sharing my thoughts. I wanted to validate them with tangible research or something that wouldn’t create anyone saying that I wasn’t qualified to speak about my niche.
The 2 things that are the essential ingredients for being a thought leader in your niche.
How not to limit yourself and have the courage to speak your truth.

There’s ONE thing that I encourage my mastermind clients to do every month in their business. I also do this one thing after everything. I’ve been doing this thing for years and it works.
I do it at the end of each week.
I do it after sales calls.
I do it after each launch.
It’s called a CEO Debrief. The main components are:
1) What worked (& how did you celebrate)?
2) What didn’t work (& what did you learn)?
3) What needs to change (& what strategy will you use)?
During this episode I shared my CEO Debrief for her latest launch for Signature Program School. I break it down so you can see how this simple process can make a huge impact on your business.
I also mentions the next free Masterclass that you can access at https://thesarahleather.com/masterclass

I’m currently running ‘The 1:Many Method’ virtual retreat and sharing everything I can about creating a highly profitable business with your Signature Program.
The biggest struggle I see in my clients is lead generation. Getting enough clients to fill their program. This is where The 1:Many Method steps in.
In this episode I share:
What The 1:Many Method is.
The best way I know how to fill your Signature Program using The 1:Many Method.

It’s been an incredible week at Her Signature Business HQ!
We have a brand new office in the garden overlooking the ocean.
Client successes have gone through the roof, 10K+ months have gone from a distant dream to a reality for many.
One of those clients is Lisa Fox. Recording this episode was so fun. Be warned, there are one or 2 rude words!!! Lisa is a Confidence Coach for mothers and in this episode of Her Signature Business she shares her story of an (essential) pivot with her offline business at the start of the pandemic, pivoting again more recently to follow her heart.

‘I’d never been part of a group program until I joined yours Sarah. I’d known for years that I wanted to have an online business and thought an online school could be scaled. I knew it was the way to go. But being in a group & KNOWING that others have the same struggles, it makes you able to bust through them in no time. I’m learning from the other’s experiences. Now I know the power of that, I know for sure that I’ll have a group program because that’s how I can best help people and they will have huge breakthroughs.’

The way we do business is changing.
For years I taught women to create great free content and invite potential clients onto an hour-long free consultation.
This worked well. Until it didn't. People don't want to spend an hour of their time talking about their problems and waiting to hear if your program is the right solution for them.
And coaches don't want their calendar full of hour-long consults that people don't turn up to, cancel at the last minute or are not a good fit for their program.
It's way more about creating deep connections and being of service at a high level. Really understanding the piece of the puzzle that is missing.
What's working now is so much more profitable and fun!
If you'd like to hear more, hop into my free 'The 1:Many Method' 7-day retreat group. Whether you're ready for a 1:Many group program or not, you will get SO much value around:

Being the CEO and leader of your business means letting go of what doesn’t serve you and leading with love. It’s about creating our own mini-revolution, tearing down what’s not working and rebuilding with incredible purpose. It’s scary, necessary and incredibly powerful.

Why quick decisions can often deliver better answers
My line in the sand about what I’m no longer available for
What leadership looks like moving towards the seven figure mark
Key takeaways:
Liberation is what’s waiting for you on the other side of fear
Stepping up as a leader means letting go of what’s holding you back
