Mike is joined today by Katrena Friel to discuss how to turn your expertise into 7 new streams of income. Katrena is a business mentor, TEDx speaker and award-winning author who has spent 25 years helping professionals turn their skills into thriving businesses that give them real freedom.

Katrena reveals how you can turn what you know into 7 new income streams and do so within the next 90 days.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Personal growth is the powerhouse behind any business growth.
Whether you are actively developing it or not, you have a personal brand. People already have an opinion about who you are. Your brand walks in the door before you.
Having a strong personal brand does not require perfection. To achieve that you would need to constantly wear a mask. That is exhausting, so you need to be authentic.
Before you can be yourself, you need to know who you are. 
When deciding what to change, focus on what is causing the most pain.
Leverage one on one contact opportunities to make true connections that turn into investments and sales.
Teach what you know through books, training, coaching, mentoring, facilitating and consulting. Ideally, you want to take people through each of those formats.
Writing a book does a lot of the heavy lifting for you and it is not that difficult to write.
Use your book to get on stage and connect with people who will buy your course and hire you as a coach, mentor or consultant.
Offering a free discovery session is a highly effective way of attracting coaching and mentoring clients.
Katrena explains the difference between being a trainer, coach, mentor, facilitator and consultant.
Following Katrena´s approach you can publish your book and set yourself up as a public speaker, coach, mentor and more in just 90 days.
