12 - Freemium Is The Way To Go When You Have No Funds (BONUS Ep 12)

Natascha Saunders is an award-winning and internationally respected certified youth coach focused on life, career and academics. 

She is a dynamic speaker, and workshop facilitator who strives to ensure all of her clients are self-aware and market ready.

(1) Have you always wanted to be a coach or was there a "PIVOTAL" moment in your life that prompted the shift? 

I haven’t always wanted to be a career coach. The pivotal moment came when I was working in a human resources capacity for a retail chain and I noticed that applicants were not prepared for interviews. In fact, I felt bad for the people I could not hire. I noticed there were a variety of reasons including: dress, quality of answers, incomplete applications, poor references, lack of confidence, lack of company knowledge, etc. Thus, I set out to initial volunteer my time at night and on weekends to help those who were not getting hired in these jobs. This then led to me starting my own business. 

(2) Who is your IDEAL client and how do you support them? 

My ideal clients are youth and young professionals between the ages of 13 – 27 who are seeking guidance in career development, life, or academic decisions. I support my clients through 1 on 1 coaching, referrals to resources, or in a group setting such as workshops on various personal and professional development topics. 

(3) If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your younger self?

I would tell my younger self to balance and budget my finances. Then to go harder, pause on relationships and just go 100% on my business and get it up and running while my youth was vivid and my energy and confidence was high. 

(4)Support from people around you is very important when starting a business – Were you supported from the beginning or did you have “NAY SAYERS” that you had to deal with.

As far as being supported, I had mentors that referred me to their lawyers and accountants, who got me going, but I didn’t have true business mentorship. I did however, have cheerleaders, and many words of wisdom, but not on tangible matters like scaling, finances, marketing, etc. I didn’t really have people that said negative things to my face, but I didn’t always feel positive energy. That to me hurt as well, but I will say I just kept going as I was called and felt there was a need. 

(5) We all have times in our businesses when things get tough. How do you deal with challenges?

I didn’t accept that most businesses go through things until very recently. Commonsense would tell me people go through things, but it didn’t sync in for me until a lady I admire said to me she closed down one of her businesses. I thought to myself I would have bet money on her that everything was as close to perfect as possible. However, her circumstance and honest reminded me that it’s not the case.

Thus, what I’ve learned in dealing with my challenges is to think through them. There have been many. I have been challenged in my business model, in that do I stay a one woman show, or add to my team. However, every time I made a move to add to my team I’ve been disappointed. I’ve had clients or mentees that have never said thank you for the help they received from me. And there have been times, when I’ve given so much in free services that I’ve ended up in debt. 

So I’ve learned that challenges will come in one form or another, but if I’m not down for the count there must still be work for me to do. So I get up, dust myself off, create a new strategy, remind myself that if I’m not first in this process I’m no good to anyone, and then I just keep it going because I feel what I do is purpose driven.

(6) What advice do you have for NEWBIE COACHES just starting out their coaching journey? 

My advice is to ensure you have a purpose and a passion to do what you do and seek out a few good folks you can regularly call for advice.

"HOW TO" Make Twitter Work For Your Business

CRACK THE TWITTER CODE & “GO GLOBAL”  Part 2 of the interview with Paperli With Liz Wilson in Switzerland. 

(1) Sharing Is Better Than Chocolate 


In the social media space and in Twitter in particular, you really need to get your head around this idea of sharing first and being a resource for others. This is very, very important if you want to gain the trust of your tribe, your followers. So you really need to understand that social media, that Twitter in particular, is about sharing. Sharing first then building trust then moving it forward.

(2) The 80-20 Rule


It’s not all about you. In part 1, we talked about the importance of sharing and now I’d like to share with you a bit of a formula for that, the 80-20 rule. So if you tweet five times a day or once a day, five days a week, I’d like you to explore the idea of tweeting four out of five times for your tribe, for others and only one time out of five about you. No one really cares what you’re doing today and no one wants to get your spamming messages all the time. So remember, the 80-20 rule. It’s not all about you.

(3) Connecting With People That You Don’t YET Know


This is a very, very important paradigm to get because if you think that Twitter and Facebook and these types of things are for meeting people that you know already that you went to school with 20 years ago, then don’t use it for business, use it for fun. I teach you to tweet for business. If you want to get traction in the Twitter-verse, I really want you to open up to the idea that there are seven billion beings in the world and 500 million of them are on Twitter. So social media is for meeting people that you don’t yet know.

(4) Be Authentic – Find Your Niche


This is especially important in Twitter. In Twitter, you can use power words, we call them hash tags to magnify, to magnetize, to gravitate towards your followers. People will gravitate towards certain keywords and the best way to start really honing in on those words is to focus. Focus on your target market, be authentic to who you are, and really speak to the people that you want to follow you. Be authentic and find your niche.

(5) Automation Tools Can Save You Time


Now, this is a very contentious issue, but I do believe the most beneficial part of using Twitter. You can schedule your tweets ahead of time. Now, that might sound counterintuitive and if it does, just remember that if you don’t do this, you are doomed to tweet in real time as long as you use Twitter. Now if you can cope with that, that’s fine, that’s beautiful, and that’s probably preferable, but it’s not possible in a busy life.

So there are several really great scheduling tools that allow you to schedule your tweets throughout the day so that you can go and work and pick up the kids and cook the meal and do all the things that we do as human beings. You can use your tweets to maximize your reach and maximize your potential.
