Joanne Before Peacefully Ambitious CEO

Joanne talks about her life before joining the Peacefully Ambitious CEO coaching program. You can see the full version of this on her "before" recording as Ep. 232 of the Joyous Profits podcast. 

Many Peacefully Ambitious CEO  clients are former podcast guests that volunteered to be coached on air on their Peaceful Profits Roadmap. This provides a unique opportunity to witness a real time "before" and "after" with our client transformations. 

 

Below is a summary of where Joanne was before going through the Peacefully Ambitious CEO coaching: 

Joanne Butcher is a business coach working with filmmakers, focusing on helping them raise money for their projects.

  • Despite a track record of 100s of financed films (some which are Oscar winners), Joanne couldn't find the confidence in selling her services 
  • She faced a deep fear and panic about business sustainability due to sales difficulties.
  • Additionally, she struggled with a lifelong inner critic that was making her situation worse 
  • Fear of failure and financial insecurity was creating a major block in her business growth 

Joanne After The Peacefully Ambitious CEO

First $21k Sale of an Offer She Hesitated Selling and a Renewed Love of Selling While Going Through the Program 

  • Joanne was in a sales slump when joining the program and during it, she was able to close a $21k sale of a previously avoided offer 
  • By the end of the program she had multiple prospects lined up for this same offer
  • She has released all the negative associations with selling and now feels relaxed and actually enjoys getting on sales calls! 

Life Long Inner Critic Gone in One Session

  •  
  • Part of Joanne's sales slump was due to the constant mental battering of a life-long inner critic 
  • In a single session, she was able to eliminate that inner critic despite its persistence through years of personal development 
  •  

No Longer Triggered By Arrogant Prospects and Totally In Control of Her Emotions

  • Whenever an arrogant prospect would show up to her sales call (esp. if they were male), Joanne would energetically freeze up
  • This caused her to lose out on a lot of sales because she was not able to function in that state and prioritizing ending the call vs. closing the sale 
  • By going through the Peacefully Ambitious CEO coaching, she was able to go from triggered to neutral in these situations, resulting in the closing of a prosepct she otherwise would have been triggered by 

Experienced More Self Love, Fulfillment and Openness For Support 

  • In addition to letting go of her inner critic, Joanne was also able to heal the parts of her that rejected love and support
  • As a result of reconciling those inner patterns she was not only able to ask for help during hard times but showed up much happier day to day
  • In essence, she was able to make more joyous profits both in terms of her inner ability to enjoy her work and growth and also the new profit coming to her from the increases in sales
