How to Reach Your Income Goal

Thursday Feb 03, 2022

Do you want to make more money in 2022 without working more hours? According to host May Yeo Silvers, this is more attainable than it sounds. In today’s episode, May discusses easy ways to reach your income goals.

First and foremost, you must ask yourself why you want to make more money. When you understand your motivations, you are less likely to give up on your goals. After you have a clear understanding of your financial goals, you can take action to achieve them. According to May, the best ways to increase your revenue include increasing your prices, having brand awareness, and hiring salespeople. While all of these methods are effective, the quickest way to generate more revenue is by increasing your prices. Even though asking for more money is intimidating, it doesn’t need to be done overnight. The best option is to frequently increase your prices in small increments. With this business model, eventually, you will be able to double your income in half the time.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn more about the importance of raising your fees, expanding your reach, and building a dream team to increase your sales and make more money.

CEO Mindset vs Employee Mindset

Thursday Jan 27, 2022

When people think of running a business, they dream of making a lot of money, traveling the world, and working less. According to host May Yeo Silvers, this is known as the CEO mindset. While it is entirely possible to achieve this lifestyle, there are many things an entrepreneur must do before they get to that place. In today’s episode, May discusses the distinction between a CEO mindset and an employee mindset.

According to May, the first step to running a successful company is letting go of your employee mindset. To do this, May explains that you need to focus on investing in your business and be willing to always take that extra step. In reality, being a CEO comes with many more risks than being an employee. As a CEO, you are responsible for the outcome of every decision you make. So when deciding whether or not you want to open a business, it is important to first understand what it means to be a CEO.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn more about the difference between a business owner and a CEO, the importance of investing in your business, and how to use your ‘why’ to transform you from an employee into a powerful and successful CEO.

Quotes

• “When you own a business and you know how to run your business, your business is profitable, and your business can run without you, you certainly can enjoy the fruits of your labor where you make a lot of money and work very little.” (05:01-05:13)

• “As a CEO, you are the only person. You have to make all of the decisions and you have to go figure things out.” (07:32-07:39)

• “In order for your business or your side hustle to become a full-time job, you have got to stop thinking like an employee.” (12:54-13:00)

• “A CEO is up for challenges. A CEO loves the potential for great results and they're not afraid to fail.” (15:58-16:08)

How to Be More Productive by Doing Less

Thursday Jan 20, 2022

For most people, a productive day looks like checking off all the items on your to-do list. And while it is certainly important to get things done, host May Yeo Silvers explains that successful people don’t have to-do lists, they have success lists. In today’s episode, May discusses how to be productive by doing less.

According to May, the most valuable thing for every entrepreneur is time. Rather than spending your days completing a bunch of meaningless tasks, it is important to focus only on the things that are going to make the biggest impact. Start by creating a list of must-do things that nourish you mentally and physically, and then put them into your calendar so they become a part of your routine. When we delegate our time to things that move our success needle forward, we have more time to run the business of our dreams!

Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn how to create a priority list that automates, delegates, and deletes tasks so you can build a successful six-figure business in less time.

Quotes

• “On my success list, I also block out time for my family.” (06:12-06:15)

• “My success needle is whatever actions that I'm taking are going to bring me the biggest return on investment.” (07:50-08:00)

• “It's not about doing a lot more to be more productive, it's about doing a lot less.” (09:16-09:20)

• “You have to strategize in terms of using your time and also understanding what should go on your success list.” (15:15-15:25)

• “To function at a high level of capacity requires a lot of focus, commitment, dedication, and discipline.” (17:43-17:48)

The Number 1 Sabotage in Achieving Your Goals

Thursday Jan 13, 2022

With 2022 in full swing, many of you already have established your goals for the year. While the beginning of the year always feels motivating, it can be easy to fall off of the right path within a few months. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers discusses how to avoid the number one thing that sabotages people from achieving their goals.

According to May, the number one thing that inhibits a person from achieving their goals is comparison. While it can be easy to notice what others are doing, May explains that comparing your journey to others is pointless. In fact, the only person you should measure yourself against is you. By remaining patient and focused on yourself, you can open the doors to progress and growth.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ for a conversation about the negative impacts of comparison. Learn more about the importance of patience and measuring your progress so you can stay focused on achieving your goals.

Quotes

• “The number one way to sabotage is comparing yourself to another person.” (05:09-05:13)

• “If you can stay focused, put on your blinders, not look at what other people are doing, and instead focus on yourself and measure against your progress, that's how you can avoid sabotaging your progress.” (05:43-05:59)

• “You want to measure yourself against yourself. You don't want to measure yourself against other people.” (06:01-06:05)

• “If you do more than yesterday, you're already progressing. If you have learned from what you have done yesterday, you're already progressing. But if you don't do anything, and you just freeze, there's no growth and that can happen when you start looking at other people's progress.” (09:42-10:00)

• “Tomorrow's success will look very different from today's success.” (15:31-15:34)

How to Stay on Course to Achieve Your 2022 Vision

Thursday Jan 06, 2022

As the new year begins, everyone is feeling energized and motivated to crush their goals. While this time can be used to set the tone for the rest of the year, many people tend to fall off the wagon after a few months when they don’t see the immediate transformation or results. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers discusses how to stay on course and achieve your goals in 2022.

When it comes to setting goals for the new year, it is important to spend time vision casting. Understanding how you would feel if you succeeded or failed allows for you to ignite emotion within yourself; and according to May, our emotions are what drives our actions. In addition, it is equally important to celebrate any action you take towards accomplishing your goals. When we feel inspired by ourselves, we not only feel more confident, but we also begin to take bigger actions towards achieving what we desire.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn more about the importance of vision casting, reevaluating your priorities, and celebrating your actions, so you can crush your goals and turn your vision into a reality in 2022 and beyond.

Quotes

• “It's so important that you write all your goals down and not just think in your head because when you think in your head, you will forget.” (04:50-04:56)

• “When you read the things that you wrote down, you will ignite the feelings and emotions inside of you. The emotions are what drive your actions.” (08:37-08:49)

• “Time is the most expensive and precious asset that you have. So why dump more precious resources into a goal that you didn't achieve in 2021 when this goal no longer serves you in 2022? Drop that goal.” (12:00-12:21)

• “I want you to celebrate taking actions because once you take actions and you feel accomplished taking actions, you will take more actions.” (14:21-14:30)

• “When we break down our goals into little baby goals, we're being realistic with the actual results that we can get within a short period of time.” (15:01-15:11)

• “Clearly write your goals down and put them in an area where you see them every single day to remind yourself.” (14:08-14:19)

Thursday Dec 23, 2021

“When you are thankful, you live in a world of abundance,” says host May Yeo Silvers. As Thanksgiving comes to an end, May can’t help but wonder why we give extra gratitude only once a year instead of every day. In today’s episode, May discusses how being thankful can positively impact the success of your business.

Whether it’s something big or small, May suggests writing some form of a gratitude journal that you can reflect on when things get tough.

How to Handle Price Objection

Thursday Dec 09, 2021

When it comes to running a business, most event planners struggle the most with discussing money. In today’s episode, May discusses how to properly handle price objections without losing business.

When you take a sales call, the most important thing to do is ask qualifying questions. This not only allows you to get a better understanding of what the client wants, but it also reveals any objections they might have. Rather than being intimidated about discussing money, May tells listeners to be upfront about how much things cost. When the potential client has a realistic idea of the amount they will have to spend, they will be less likely to object to your fees.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn more about the importance of pre-work, educating your clients about cost, and how to implement a strong objection strategy that attracts your target client.

Quotes

• “The more pre-work you do in your discovery call, the probability of you getting a price objection gets lower and lower.” (02:06-02:19)

• “It’s almost impossible to overcome a price objection if you're not talking to your ideal client.” (02:36-02:46)

• “When you're talking to your potential client you should already have an idea of what they want to spend on an event.” (05:52-06:01)

• “We always want to empathize, listen and be inquisitive.” (14:23-14:29)

• “You want the client to tell you how they would feel if they did the event themselves and how they would feel if you worked it for them.” (23:16-23:24)

• “You cannot go into a sales call with a scarcity mindset. If you do, you will not ask the right type of questions because you’re afraid to lose the sale.” (25:22-25:32)
