One question I get asked a ton at events, VIP sessions, and livestreams is:
โI want to build a websiteโฆ but I donโt have the time or resources to hire a designer. Should I wait?โ
For many entrepreneurs, a website feels like a calling card; the first ever representation of YOU.
That can feel a little scary, and of course you want to put your best foot forward.
But Iโll let you in on a little secret:
If your messaging is right on your website? It doesn’t really matter what it looks like.
At least not at first.

Today,I want you to do something a little uncomfortable:
I want you to score your business (if youโre brave enough) on a scale from 1-10, 1 being a total newbie business owner, and 10 being a multi-million dollar, totally-killing-it-influencer.
So for example, if youโre a 3, you might have a business going with a few clients, but right now you donโt have funnels or systems in place.
A 5 might be a business with one funnel and one product whoโs doing fairly well, but isnโt doing a lot of self promotion.
A 7 might be a business that makes great, consistent money, but has you working way too hard because your systems arenโt quite there.
I encourage you to do this because really? There’s no shame in any game. Every single one of us started at zero, and itโs important to know where youโre at with the basics.

Letโs be real with each other: Running a business is an incredible act of heart and will — especially when you want to change the world with your work, and get your game-changing message out to the masses.
โฆ But unfortunately, the desire to serve doesnโt mean your business will thrive.
If you want to bring your dream to life, itโs gonna take savvy, strategy, and (most of all) sales too.
Have you ever asked yourself โWhy do some people seem to have so much success so early, when it feels like Iโm still stuck in place?โ
Maybe you want to be known because you want to make a huge impact — but it hasnโt happened yet.
Maybe youโre frustrated and sad that you’re not attracting great people or you don’t know where to start.
Maybe youโre stressing that famous โ8 out of 10 businesses failโ figure, and want to make absolutely sure you donโt become a statistic.
Hereโs the good news:
Are you having more trouble than youโd like making sales and attracting people into your universe? You donโt need to quit, give up, or come up with some wildly advanced strategy to turn your business around.
But if youโre worrying about one or all of the above and not making much traction? You may just need to re-think your approach to the l-word.

Weโve been digging into lead magnets recently here on the blog — a.k.a. free offers or gifts that entice prospective customers (better known as leads) to jump on your mailing list, and become a part of your tribe.
I dished a bunch of ideas for you in this post, but at the end of the day? You have to choose the one that works best for your message and is an easy lead-in to a paid offer. Itโs that simple.
But that brings us to a much bigger question: How the heck do you set a lead magnet up?
(Especially if youโre like me, and the idea of learning a bunch of new tech all at once makes you kiiiiinda wanna take a nap right there in your office.)
This is an area that a lot of people get stuck on, because itโs pretty high stakes. The mechanism for distributing the message you want to share is as important as the message itself.
Translation? You need to give people a smooth experience when they sign up for your lead magnet so they keep coming back for more.
Think about it. How jarring is it when you see a shiny, well-branded websiteโฆ and itโs a total nightmare to opt into their list?
Yep. Itโs the worst.
So today, I want to list out some basic systems you need to make sure your customer experience goes off without a hitch, so your leads are eager to get their hands on your freebieโฆ instead of wrangling technology.
