Today we’d like to introduce you to LaTisha Styles.
Hi LaTisha, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I am where I am today – a self-employed marketing consultant – because I am a stubborn believer in manifestation. After graduating from college during the Great Recession, I spent 11 months looking for a job before I was finally hired. During that time, I told myself that if I couldn’t find a job, I would create my own. That led me to start a personal finance blog to share what I had learned in college as well as my own personal experience. After getting hired at a local investment consulting firm, I continued writing my blog. I loved creating content, making people laugh with my quirky YouTube videos, and learning all about digital marketing.
A few years into working in the corporate world, I decided to quit and take my blog full time. I quit my job on Friday the 13th with excitement and hope. But this is where things slowly fell apart. Even though I had saved six months worth of expenses, it wasn’t enough. The blog income was based on affiliate marketing. Just a few months into being a solopreneur, one of the affiliate programs, which contributed a large chunk of income, closed its doors. After scrambling to make things work, I reluctantly went back to a full-time job. But I knew that I could “create my own” job, just as I had told myself before. Three months after starting that job, I took the leap and quit again. I told myself this time, it would be for good. And it was. I’ve been self-employed for five years and counting. That is why I say that I am a stubborn believer in manifestation. I spoke my desire and created just that. Today I am the founder of YouveGotClients.com where we help coaches create and fill their coaching programs with high-quality clients. I am an Online Marketing Certified Professional and passionate about helping my clients use the most effective marketing strategies to attract perfect-fit clients.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely was not easy to create a business that generates a full-time income for myself as well as support a team. Along the way, I struggled to figure out my ideal client and how I could best serve them. I spent thousands on coaches, courses, and mentors so I could gain the education I needed to reach my goals faster. When I ran through my savings, I borrowed money so I wouldn’t have to go back to a full-time job. I worked anywhere from 6 to 7 days a week, often late at night so I could “make it.” When I say I was determined to do whatever it takes, I meant it. The biggest challenge was feeling like everyone else was succeeding but me. I felt like they knew something I didn’t. That is why I invested in coaches along the way. And while that made the journey easier because I had a guide, it was hard to look at those bank statements and see the dropping balance (or in the case of my credit cards, the increasing balance). I knew those investments would pay off, but I just did not know when. That was most difficult.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
You’ve Got Clients is a marketing consultancy helping coaches create and fill their coaching programs with high-quality clients. We specialize in webinar sales funnels. Put simply, a webinar sales funnel is an online marketing tool that converts leads to buyers. We are known for helping new and experienced coaches put this four step sales process in place within eight weeks or less. Clients benefit from our proprietary Anti-Webinar™, which does the heavy lifting, sending qualified ready-to-pay clients. This is an “introvert-friendly” way to generate new clients who are familiar with who you are, what you do, and why they want to work with you – before you have to say a word. Our clients regularly report sold-out group coaching programs.
What’s next?
Over the next 12 months, I plan to expand and add to my team. We already have a copywriter, video editor, social media manager, and client success assistant on the team. As we continue to reach more clients, we will continue to grow. I am very proud that I am able not only to support myself but a team as well.
