[00:01:11] Andrea Elibero: Hey, hello, everybody. Today we have Natalie Alvarado with us, who is a marketing and business coach, and she is going to share lots of goodies with us. Welcome, Natalie. Thank you for joining.
[00:01:24] Nathalie Alvarado: Thank you, Andrea, for having me. I'm super excited.
[00:01:28] Andrea Elibero: I know me too, especially because I really like what you are going to tell us about. So let us know. So describe to us a little bit about what you do. What does your business look like?
[00:01:42] Nathalie Alvarado: Yeah, of course. So I'm a marketing business coach. I help coaches and experts attract their best premium clients by elevating their message and their mindset. So I work with my clients on really helping them position their unique zone of genius so they can [00:02:00] attract higher paying clients more consistently.
[00:02:03] But also clients that they really love working with and they're really aligned with what they feel fulfilled doing in their business.
[00:02:12] Andrea Elibero: Very cool. So, so as we all know, um, everybody here listening is more or less wanting to like dive deeper, going to something bigger, something that feels more aligned with them. And a lot of times that can feel scary. And one of the reasons is because a, uh, worry is, well, how am I going to attract these clients if I'm up leveling what I'm doing?
[00:02:36] What can I do in order to make sure that I'm actually speaking to the clients that I need to be speaking with? And that's a really big concern, right? Because you've already built up this client base, you know, you have kind of what you have going on and then you're like, Oh crap, like, like, you know, I feel safe in here and now I'm kind of shifting this.
[00:02:57] So can you speak to that a little bit [00:03:00] in terms of what to do in this scenario? Yeah,
[00:03:07] Nathalie Alvarado: I myself pivoted three times in my own business. So until I got to where I am now, so I understand that. And I think, first of all, is acknowledging like you're not, even though it feels like you're starting from scratch, you're not because, as you said, you have past clients that you've worked with.
[00:03:22] Who could? Potentially be your next clients or could who could refer you to clients who are a good fit So I think like always reminding yourself of what you've built so far and that you can always Transfer a lot of those skills that you've been using into that new area that you want is really good in terms of mindset I think it's a huge identity shift as well.
[00:03:45] So really making like that daily commitment to And having that vision of where you're going, right? So it's not just about, let me change my niche because it's easier or because someone told me that that was going to be the right fit, [00:04:00] but what is your vision five years from now, ten years from now? Like, why are you really passionate about making that change?
[00:04:06] And reminding yourself, going back to that vision day after day, week after week. So in terms of like, The mindset side and identity side. I think that's really, really important. Why are you doing that? Why it's important to you? And why do you want to make that change? Um, I think,
[00:04:23] Andrea Elibero: I'm going to pause on that for, yeah, to like dive deeper into that for a second because this is a core, core thing when somebody is like, when my clients are pivoting, this is so, it takes a minute. You know what I mean? It's a process. And so you really do have to have the conviction. You have to really want it, you know, and I was told like you've done this before, you know, you've gone from nine to five into this business, you've pivoted, you've shifted, and now this new dream, Like you need to be committed to it.
[00:04:57] And what is it? What is it going to take in order to [00:05:00] step into this person, step into this identity that you need to have in order to make this come true and have this conviction? So I'm curious on your end, what things have you done personally, because I want to also get back into your own pivoting.
[00:05:14] What things have you done to stay in your conviction to actually see it through as you've pivoted your business? Mm
[00:05:21] Nathalie Alvarado: Absolutely. You know, one of the main things is that, It's really having that clear vision of why I want to work with certain types of clients, why they're more aligned to what I'm really good at. And knowing that it's not only for me, it's actually the best service for the people that I'm here to support.
[00:05:37] It doesn't serve anyone if we're doing something that we're bored with or that we're, our zone of genius isn't really there. Our clients were always achieved. Such more amazing transformations if we're really passionate, but we're also like you said, we have that conviction. We have that commitment, and we're also facilitating the best results that we can.
[00:05:57] So just reminding myself of that daily has [00:06:00] helped a lot. And also what you said. Understanding who I need to become to hold that change. Right? Whenever we experience big change with transitions in life, we need to understand who we need to be, how we, how do we need to be thinking? How do we need to be making decisions?
[00:06:16] How are we going to hold ourselves when our brain is telling us that maybe this wasn't a good idea? I think like anticipating those things and having like. An action plan, and really understanding what are those thoughts and beliefs that really support us, rather than clinging on to maybe the thoughts that aren't going to support us, that are going to bring us down or make us think that this, you know, isn't the path that we weren't, we were meant to, to take.
[00:06:44] I think like, having, I always say that having those thoughts, having our brain tell us, The worst case scenario is normal, right? Like our brain always wants to solve a problem, but we don't have to choose that. We don't have to necessarily listen to it. [00:07:00] And having those tools like breath work for me has worked, has been insanely important, like having tools to regulate my nervous system.
[00:07:09] Um, EFT tapping, having a coach in that moment helps a lot. Just, It's all, all helps you hold that identity and the decision that you've made in that moment, even if it's very challenging and it can feel scary.
[00:07:22] Andrea Elibero: Yeah, and I love the modalities that you mentioned because I've done some some similar ones and some different ones with the EFT tapping That's a really good one and with the breath work and i've done a lot of like somatic things and just being like grounded in my body and like moving through the emotions and things like this and your story of being prepared and knowing that You know your brain is going to say things and you know What am I going to do and being prepared when that happens?
[00:07:51] It reminded me of I used to back in the day in my former existence. I was in a PhD program for clinical [00:08:00] psychology and I used to do Smoking smoking cessation I don't want to say therapy, but smoking cessation programs, and this reminded me of this because this was a big deal with people who are trying to quit smoking or quit whatever, is to be prepared to know, okay, these cravings are going to come up, and when they do, I have a plan to know what I'm going to do.
[00:08:20] And so it's, it's, it's a fun, like, parallel, right, to business, like, okay, I know my mind is going to tell me these things, but what am I going to do when it does so I don't fall back, you know, down the hole of. Whether you know smoking or like no i'm not going to go on this path on my business So so yeah, I just thought that was really fun.
[00:08:39] Um fun parallel there
[00:08:43] Nathalie Alvarado: Yeah. Definitely a parallel there. And I think, I don't know, my case and for my clients, I think we found very, we find very helpful. Definitely helpful. To not like gaslight ourselves in the sense like we never have a negative thought like everything is going to be roses and unicorn Like that's not real.
[00:08:59] We're human [00:09:00] beings Um, but having those tools and like you said being prepared helps you instead of spending two weeks In that thought in a negative spiral, maybe it takes you an hour and then it takes you 10 minutes and then you know You continue evolving
[00:09:15] Andrea Elibero: Yeah, and and it's true you made a really good point that it's true that when you put these things into practice It's not that these thoughts don't come up. It's that you move through them quicker And you don't let them stop you right and like and that's the piece that is so important and the piece that That That you know they're, and just know, just know, by the way, know that they're never going to stop because you're always growing and evolving, and every time you're growing and evolving, these thoughts are going to come up because your brain is there, your ego is there to protect you, and that means not doing anything unknown, and we're always doing unknown things.
[00:09:48] So every time we evolve, we're going to have, you know, these thoughts are going to come up and try to keep us safe, quote unquote, and thank you. for trying, but no, I'm, it's not scary. I'm going to do these things and we're going to [00:10:00] be prepared and know what we're going to do to move through and not push them back, but move through the thoughts.
[00:10:05] So yeah. So thank you for sharing that. I think that I had cut you off a bit and I feel like there was another that, well, no, I wanted to dive deeper into this, but there was another thing you were going to say. Um, I don't know, this was like, you know, 10 minutes ago. So I don't know if you recall, or if you want to move on to do something else in terms of attracting your clients.
[00:10:23] Uh, And when you are pivoting and moving into the new you.
[00:10:31] Nathalie Alvarado: Yeah, yeah, no, that's totally fine. I, I was going to mention that part of positioning yourself in front of those higher level clients or different types of clients that you want to attract. And the question that I always I've asked myself and I asked my clients is who is the person who would value the problem that you solve the most or your zone of genius the most because a lot of the times We can start speaking to anyone who could be a [00:11:00] good client and the work that I do with my clients, especially when they're pivoting is having that opportunity to ask themselves like who do I actually really like I feel so excited to work with and who would value this to a higher standard who would value this to a higher degree So I think that question in itself can unlock so many um clarity For you in that when you're in that space so you can really identify Who is the best person that you could possibly serve and that's also going to want to pay you more and value your services Or your coaching more
[00:11:33] Andrea Elibero: Yeah, amazing point. And this leads me to, to also think like, okay, so let's say somebody is, they're pivoting, they want to reach new people, they're offering things that are a bit different than what they were doing before. So they're getting their pish, they're getting their positioning together. And you know, figuring that piece out there.
[00:11:54] Now they're writing content that is. It's a bit different because now they're like, okay, I'm doing this new thing. [00:12:00] Do you have, are you just to, is your advice to your clients on what you did when you pivoted to just say, okay, guess what guys, um, announcement, I'm doing this new thing. Are you taking them on the road, you know, on the journey along with you?
[00:12:12] Like how do you publicly in terms of marketing, what is your advice for publicly sharing what you're moving into in your business?
[00:12:23] Nathalie Alvarado: I always say that honesty is the best with marketing, like, just telling the truth to your audience and your potential clients. I don't think dragging it out, like, in this whole process is necessary. But yeah, I do think that maybe making a live or a series where you're talking about your decision and why and who you want to serve and even asking your audience, like, Hey.
[00:12:42] I totally understand if this doesn't align with you any longer if you could refer me Or send my profile to someone else who you know would be a great fit. I would absolutely love this And I think just embodying and having that conviction in that decision the earliest Um as possible in the [00:13:00] in the process is best Because a lot of the times then that can just like feel very dragged out and just You know, a lot of my clients can start to overthink or want to make it perfect, which is not what we want to do.
[00:13:10] But I do think like honesty and everything is the best is the best solution for anything that any change, anything that you want to say to your community or in your marketing as well.
[00:13:22] Andrea Elibero: Mm hmm. Yeah, I love that because yes, because first of all, mm hmm. We're not in this weird age of You know marketing was kind of like a little bit weird back in the day and now really people are just valuing authenticity, right and just being Who you are and showing up who you are. So and
[00:13:42] and the thing that I love that you said as well is this tip of like hey guys Like if this is not your journey great like no hard feelings here like no worries, right?
[00:13:52] And because it's true and asking them Hey if this you do know somebody like invite them along because I'm gonna be [00:14:00] talking about X, Y and Z over here and And doing it that way and be like, okay, because I can be in service to these other people and just making it so natural, you know, and not making it such a big deal and not overthinking, just do it, just jump in.
[00:14:13] And this is it. This is what I'm doing now.
[00:14:16] Nathalie Alvarado: Yeah, because it is what you're doing. So They will like our audience clients will always see it weird When we think that way or when we're making it a big deal But the more natural that we can make it the better the process will be for everyone and I remember the biggest pivot that I did I actually started as a parenting coach and I Pivoted to business which was a huge jump Um, and I spent I remember that was Like, three years ago, I spent literally two months not posting because I was overthinking the perfect way that it would make the transition and that nobody would feel bad or that I wouldn't leave anyone behind, and in the end, it was just a matter of, like, putting up a [00:15:00] post and saying, hey, like, this is my decision, and everyone was happy for me, and some people left and some people stayed, but in the end, like, it wasn't what it was meant to do long term, and that's totally fine.
[00:15:10] Yeah.
[00:15:13] Andrea Elibero: you know, vulnerably that you also went through this of, oh my god, you know, two months is a while of not telling people what's going on and thinking and thinking and thinking. And then finally, when you do it, it's no big deal. And I feel like this is the story over and over again for all these big things that we're doing.
[00:15:28] And I don't know if you remember, but I remember when I first first started my business. Um, I, I started as a VA and so the thing that, you know, I was advised to do was to write, write an email or a Facebook message or whatever and just tell everybody say, okay, this is what I'm doing. If you know anybody, let me know.
[00:15:46] And that, and I was like, oh my God, like having all these thoughts, people are going to judge me. You know, they're going to be like, why is this girl reaching out to me? And of course, none of that happened, right? Of course, it was nothing but support. And if people didn't care, they just didn't respond, which was fine.
[00:15:59] And, [00:16:00] and this to me has similar vibes, right? People are going to be happy for you. And if they don't care, then they're just not going to say anything. There's, there's so, you're really like, nobody cares about you as much as you do, you know? So,
[00:16:14] Nathalie Alvarado: Exactly.
[00:16:15] Andrea Elibero: right? So, um, And this happens all the time. So I love that.
[00:16:19] Just just do it like get out of your head and just go and Do the thing and it doesn't have to be perfect There doesn't have to be some like birth announcement or or whatnot of your new business idea You just start telling people right? This is what I do now like Hang out with me still if you want to if not, that's fine So very very cool.
[00:16:39] I want I also want to get into your pivots as well, so A lot of times so With, so I'm talking to, you know, like I said, like a lot of oftentimes done for you service providers, and sometimes they switch entirely into coaching, you know, into a whole different realm. Um, and that sounds very similar into, [00:17:00] or sounds similar to what you were doing at first.
[00:17:02] So I'm curious if you can kind of talk about, okay, this is how I started my business. And these were the things that were happening in the background to make me really start thinking about, like, should I pivot into this thing instead?
[00:17:16] Nathalie Alvarado: Oh, yeah, absolutely. So, I started my business as a Montessori parenting coach because I had worked in my family's school, Montessori school, for six years and it was just something that I was very knowledgeable in. Um, I had also recently had my daughter, so it just all aligned. I just, I knew I always wanted to have an online business, but I didn't know exactly in what.
[00:17:37] So I started down that path. But I had always been an entrepreneur since age 14. Like I had had several service businesses, product businesses. So it's always kind of like in the back there running. Um, and when I launched my parenting coaching services, I booked them out in the first month and I had one of the clients [00:18:00] ask me, you know what, like, I don't want to hire you as a parenting coach actually, because I love how you market yourself and how you create content and how.
[00:18:08] You filled your services so fast. Like you're so good at it. And at the time I was like, no, why did she want to hire me for that? Like I'm not a business coach, but I took the leap. I challenged myself and she had incredible results. And I realized, Hey, I actually like this better. So that was, you know, the reason why I decided to pivot into business coaching.
[00:18:31] And after those two months of making the decision, I announced it, and I signed my first few clients, I went raising my prices as I went, and I realized that I wanted to niche down a little bit further because I noticed that the results that my clients were experiencing were very specific in high ticket sales.
[00:18:55] And messaging, so I was really able to help them elevate their messaging [00:19:00] and position them in front of the people who wanted naturally to pay them more for what they did and really fill their high ticket offers. So naturally I just niched down to that and that is what I do today. But it was definitely a process of working with clients, noticing which client I really loved working with the most and yeah, making that, those decisions and those changes as I went.
[00:19:24] Andrea Elibero: Very cool. So can you also share some of your biggest hurdles when it came to this pivot or growing or scaling or things like this? Some of the things that that kind of came up for you. They're like, Oh yeah, this was, this was a journey. This was something that I had to, I had to kind of deal with and get through.
[00:19:43] Nathalie Alvarado: Yeah, I think definitely perfectionism was something, especially at the beginning, um, that I really had to work on and do an identity shift and really get into this identity of someone who makes decisions faster. And like we were talking about, like, takes the messy action, even if it's not easy. [00:20:00] Perfect.
[00:20:00] You know, like I had launches that flopped. I had a master class that I told that only one person showed up live like I had those situations because I've challenged myself to show up and continue creating bigger and bigger results throughout them. And I think the second thing, which is funny because this is exactly what I help my clients with, but often we are our biggest blind spot, is really letting go of the clients that weren't the best fit for me.
[00:20:26] So really, Letting go a little bit of that people pleasing or wanting to help everyone and understanding that not everyone is going to be the best fit for me. Not I'm not gonna be the best fit for anyone for everyone, and that's totally fine. And this is why there are so many coaches and service providers, and I really think that when we're very clear in our message to who specifically we want to attract, we have a better experience in our business.
[00:20:52] We make more money, but also our clients create better results. So. So, if that's something that has been super important to me to [00:21:00] grow my business, yeah. Yeah,
[00:21:02] Andrea Elibero: Yeah. I want to go back to normalizing, especially not even when you're new, but especially the first. You know, the first times that you do something when you're launching something new, when you have these master classes, when you're growing, it is so normal to not knock it out of the park every single time.
[00:21:20] And I've, like, I remember I had a client who they launched something and the first time it was great. The second time, you know, it wasn't. And then she was like, no, I'm not doing this anymore. I was like, well, hold on a second, right? Because it because. It's not going to be great every time. And I just want to normalize that this happens at every level of business. I have worked with a whole lot, you know, as an online, um, so my, so, you know, like a VA certified online business manager coach, this is my, my journey. So as a OBM, I've worked with so many six and seven figure businesses and they have flop launches too, you know, so I, I really want to just normalize that [00:22:00] and not have.
[00:22:02] people just have it mean more than it does, right? It doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing or that you're terrible at this thing. It doesn't mean any of that. There are a gazillion reasons why it might not have been successful. And So I'm going to give my perspective. I'm curious about your perspective.
[00:22:19] And I've learned too, it's happened to me too, you know, like this is part of the journey, honestly, this is just part of the journey and, and I've learned to, even if it's just one person to show up and serve that one person and use it as a learning experience. Okay. How can I improve? What can I grow for next time?
[00:22:37] Like, what can I do, but without it having to mean anything and just take it out for what it is. So I'm curious from your perspective when that's happened, what you've done.
[00:22:46] Nathalie Alvarado: I love that so much because yesterday I was just talking about this on my stories, Thanks How that shows up on every level and something that has really helped me mature and grow as an entrepreneur as a business owner is [00:23:00] Taking what the business is showing me as neutral feedback like not make it mean.
[00:23:05] Oh my god Only one person joined the mastermind. So that means i'm not capable or not worthy enough or whatever it is That we make it mean sometimes but it's just Feedback, okay. So what did I actually do like you can look at the business objectively and then for the next time Tweak it and make it better and have better results.
[00:23:24] So I think that really helps you to grow faster and to have better results Because you're not attaching a lot of the emotion And what it makes it mean about you Um, so I think that's super super important and I remember that for that You particular master class where I had one person show up. She loved it because it was like a private experience, you know, and it was so fun, you know, for her, she learned so much.
[00:23:51] And in the end it was just like, this doesn't need to mean anything if I don't make it mean anything, which is a little bit challenging sometimes in the moment. [00:24:00] But I think the more you put yourself in those situations, the more you can neutralize it.
[00:24:05] Andrea Elibero: I love, yeah, the term that you said, neutral feedback. I
[00:24:09] Nathalie Alvarado: Yes.
[00:24:10] Andrea Elibero: Like so accurate. Like everything in business, neutral feedback. It just is what it is. This is what happened and let's just keep going. I love it. Love it. So you are super passionate about attracting aligned clients and doing it through your messaging.
[00:24:24] Do you have What are your biggest tips in terms of doing that, just in terms, you know, it's a big, it's a big thing. So is there anything you can kind of break down and give like one or two, like really good things that, that you're, I don't know, that you love sharing with your clients about how to actually do that.
[00:24:42] Nathalie Alvarado: Mmm, I love that. Okay, so I'm gonna share two things two main things that are really going to create shifts for you So the first thing is allowing yourself to be really specific in your language Which is something that I see a lot of coaches and service providers like they feel a little bit in resistance towards because [00:25:00] of like Oh, but what if I leave this person out or what if I leave that person out?
[00:25:03] You So really just like when you allow yourself to do that You actually become more accessible to the right people because they can actually see you So allowing yourself to deeply understand who it is that i'm speaking to not only Like if they're a coach or if they're a mom or whatever they call themselves, but on a psychological level And getting to know them like the palm of your hand so you can go deeper in your content So instead of over educating or giving like a lot of tips sharing your knowledge, which is what we are tend to do Is speaking to what that person is experiencing and desires And more than like the superficial desire what they truly want like their emotions or what they truly desire on a psychological level which is one thing that I do with my clients, but I I often find that Everyone can do this right now.
[00:25:54] Like you could literally grab a piece of paper and do this right now But a lot of the times we stay like speaking to the [00:26:00] superficial You Aspects of the person. So just like I encourage you to go a little bit deeper and dare to be really specific In the challenges that you're talking about but also in the transformation And the second thing that I was recommend is seeing your client in the most empowered and resourceful light So a lot of yeah a lot of the things that happen sometimes when we're attracting people Let's say it's not the right time or they have an investment objection or you're attracting clients, but they're not Committed to the process like They're just going to the calls or in the service finding a problem like they're always finding a problem Is that usually we're speaking to the disempowered version of the client?
[00:26:41] So speaking to the person who's stuck in resistance or fear or only sees like the problem they want to be saved They're in like a victim mindset. So look subtle like tweaks and shifts in the message. So you're speaking more to their aspirational identity, like who they want to become, what they want to create [00:27:00] instead of only the problem that they're experiencing and how it's so hard and how it's so frustrating.
[00:27:05] So a lot of times it can be really subtle, but that slight tweak can help a lot. Yes. Yeah.
[00:27:20] Andrea Elibero: Because honestly, if you go through social media, right, you can see the same messaging over and over and over again because. Right, the very general, you know, okay, I'm tired of it.
[00:27:29] And then when somebody does something different, you're like, oh, you know, when they're so specific, you're like, oh, and it sticks out and I guarantee you you've had this experience. So, so, yes, and, and honestly, it's something that I've had to learn as well. And I think that, so let me take, Use me as an example.
[00:27:47] If you're like, oh, this sounds like, can I do this? Yes, you can do this. I've learned it. You can learn it too. So like, it doesn't necessarily have to come naturally to you. And if it doesn't, you can go meet up with Natalie. She will help you. And, um, [00:28:00] but, but yes, just keeping in the back of your mind, be specific, be specific.
[00:28:04] And I love the speaking to the empowered version of, of your client. I just find it. So I don't, I want to say empowering, but it's very silly, but you know, but like, like this, like, It is, right? It's just very empowering. Like, yes, like we all got this, like we can do this. And, and it makes people want to take action, but in a ethical way, you know, in a way that, that feels good
[00:28:29] and that they're excited, right?
[00:28:30] So, uh, it's so, so good. So good. Amazing. Okay. Amazing, amazing. Is there anything else that you like have on your mind? Like, Ooh, I really want to share this thing. That we haven't covered
[00:28:43] Nathalie Alvarado: I think, I think we covered quite a lot. Um, I think anything else in terms of messaging, the only thing else I would say is like, really allow yourself to use your unique voice, speaking to what you were saying, like, it all sounds the same. I think. [00:29:00] Stop, like, limiting your own consumption, always create before you consume, and I guarantee you that you're going to write a better piece of content, or a better email, or you're going to record a better podcast, because you're actually leaning into what you're working on with your clients and your unique perspectives and beliefs, instead of, you know, getting caught up in the noise and what everyone else is saying.
[00:29:24] Andrea Elibero: hmm. Yeah, beautiful, beautiful. Okay, so please let everyone know how can we stay in touch with you if they want to work with you? What do you have going on? How can we stay connected?
