3. Master, Talents & Skills: This section is for brainstorming the knowledge and talents you already have. There is also an email template to send to 3 to 5 family and friends to get their insight.
4. Business Blueprint: In this section you will use your Soul-Led Story to write out your Soul Calling using the information you gathered in your Soul-Led Story. This essentially will be your Business Niche.

2. Is there anything you’ve seen me overcome that has inspired you?
3. What do you see as my biggest weaknesses?
4. What is my zone of genius? What am I the BEST at?

Thank you!

Intuitive Branding is all about honing in on how you want people to feel when they come across your brand. The best way to do this is through color. The beautiful thing about color is each shade evokes a different emotion. In this section we are going to review the different colors and what they represent to pick a color palette. Then we will use the colors to select fonts and words to describe your brand.

The best way to start playing around with your ideas is through a Mood Board. You can experiment with colors, fonts and graphics that you like. Later these initial ideas can be refined to make sure they align with your message.

Canva has a really great online Mood Board to get you started Here:

https://www.canva.com/create/mood-boards/

Coolers is a great place to look at color palettes:

Adobe and Canva both have great color pickers:

For Fonts I love DaFont:

This lesson will walk you through creating your Website Hosting Account and installing Wordpress.

SiteGround is my preferred website hosting company. I have been using them for 10+ years, host multiple websites and domains with them and have never had any issues. They have great customer service and the best way to reach them is through chat. 

Here is a referral link to signup for SiteGround:
https://www.siteground.com/recommended?referrer_id=117857

*I will receive a referral credit if you signup with this link

The Wordpress installer through SiteGround is pretty user-friendly, however if you have any trouble their customer service is extremely helpful. I am also available to provide additional technical support.

While you may purchase domains from SiteGround the most cost effective way is through Godaddy. If you choose this option you will need to point the 'nameservers' to SiteGround so that your website will come up with your domain name. Both Siteground & Godaddy are familiar with this process and will be able to walk you through it.

GoDaddy Domain Names: https://uk.godaddy.com/

FAQ on pointing a Domain to Siteground:

The 7 Day Transformation Framework will walk you through creating your first digital product.
The key is to create your Mini Course Magic in 7 days and it should take your students 7 days to complete. The idea is to get your product out into the world as quickly as possible and go back to refine it as students go through it. The goal is to get students from point A to B by starting with the last step 7 and then working on Step 1 - Step 6.

Start by journaling out some ideas for products based on the pain points from your Soul-Led Story and your Deep Dive interviews. Pick one focus and map out the students journey from Step 1 until Step 7, start with Step 7 as your end goal and work your way through each step.

Then decide how you would like to deliver your Mini Course Magic by focusing on your strengths. How do you enjoy teaching the best? Do you like being on camera? Do you prefer to create slides? What would be the best way for the students to learn your content?

Once you have decided how you will deliver your course then you can start creating content. Keep in mind that even though it is a 7 day course it does not mean you need to create 7 pieces of content. You might find that you have one video, a workbook and some audio or you have 3 short videos and a worksheet, or you can teach the course live via Zoom.

This part is up to you to decide depending on what works best for your skills and your students needs. Get creative and have fun with this process. Do not overthink the production or the creation of your product as you can evolve it, add to it or simplify it as you get feedback.

Once you have your course mapped out and created you can move onto installing Thrive Apprentice in the next section of this module.

Once you have your course outlined you can install Thrive Apprentice to add your content.
- If you are teaching your course live on Zoom be sure to record each lesson, you can upload the video to your course later to provide the replay link to students.
- If you are prerecording your course you can create the modules before launching it to your students.

Here is a Tutorial on How to Install and Setup Thrive Apprentice, you will need to be logged into Thrive Themes to access:

Lesson 6 will walk you through creating your Soul-Led Social Media Content and Email List.

4 Week Social Media Content Creation will focus on the key areas of warming up you audience to purchase your Mini Course.
Week 1: Share your Story as it relates to your mini course
Week 2: Teach your Audience something new (think 3 tips/ how to)
Week 3: Pain, review your Deep Dives and Soul-Led Story for ideas
Week 4: Selling is Serving, continue to tell your story and sell your mini course

Use the Soul-Led Social Content Planner to start brainstorming your ideas.
- keep a journal with you when inspired ideas come to you
- record voice memos on your phone/ and take notes

Once you have your Ideas written plan out your content using Airtable
- you can also use Later to plan out and post your content to social media
- See the Social Media Tools Lesson for more tools/ Details

After you have posted your 4 weeks worth of content go back and repurpose the most popular posts for your Email List. Create 7 Emails to welcome in new subscribers:
Email 1: Welcome, get to know you and your brand
Email 2: Teach
Email 3: Teach
Email 4: Teach and/or mention a pain point
Email 5: Pain Point
Email 6: Sell
Email 7: Sell
If they do not buy after the 7th email you can direct them to your main Email List.
- Decide how often you would like to email your list, ie: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly

The Email Provider I recommend is Aweber, you can create all of your Emails inside this service.
- There is a Free version up to 500 subscribers and then it is $20 a month.

The Airtable Platform allows users to map out content for marketing (Social Media), sales or any other business related planning. The free version is pretty extensive and offers 12,000 records and 2GB of space.

The Later Platform allows users to post on one Social Platform once a day on their free plan.
You can link your Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest account and use it to plan out each post.
