In this episode, I'm going to walk you through five real reasons that women lose pageants and I'm going to give you some specific guidelines on what you can do about it.

We’re going to start broad and work out way to the more common reasons.   The most common reason women lose their pageant is they simply don’t have ‘the look’, mostly because they haven't discovered what this pageant is looking for as the main spokesperson for their pageant. In order to win, you have to show up with your complete marketing package.

The next somewhat obvious reason that you may be losing your pageant is you are too stiff – like a robot, or ‘pageant patty.’ This often comes off as either not having enough practice or having too much practice. There are lots of ways to fix this problem, but the main one is: practice with real life experience!   The third reason you may be losing your pageant is what I call a ‘failure to thrive.’ This means that you haven’t really done all that much to achieve your goals since the last time you competed. You have to show improvements and growth every year so that you can prove you’ll make the most of your year if given the title.  

The fourth area that could be holding you back is you don’t have a solid marketing plan. This is why having a Legacy Project is so important: because it allows you the opportunity to market yourself, your platform, and your pageant.

 

In the Win A Pageant Academy we teach a simple method of Promise-Proof-Plan that prepares you for all sorts of questions (download the free training here) and ensures you deliver your marketing plan onstage and in your interview.

 

If you are nailing the look, you have a solid plan but you still aren’t winning, it could be because you are missing a personal/pageant brand. Your ‘brand’ is deeper than your ‘why’ for competing in the pageant – your brand is your why for being on this planet! It’s your purpose and your passion.

In the Academy, we help you identify your personal/pageant brand because from this, everything else can flow!

 

Your brand is vital to winning! If you have the look, plenty of practice, thriving goals, a solid plan, and you’re still not winning your pageant, then your brand should be where you begin.

 

The very first thing that I do with all of my clients is help them identify who they are. It's so important for you to know who you are and what you are doing on this planet. When you become crystal clear on that, all those other things will easily fall into place.

I am such a big believer in goal setting because I truly believe that setting a goal is like taking the dreams that God has given you and writing them down on paper. And I truly believe that God has given you very specific dreams. You, specifically! Specific dreams to achieve, but it's your job to now achieve those things.

Teresa Jackson is the Founder and CEO of Lean On Me Coaching.  Prior to becoming a Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Teresa spent thirty-five years in corporate healthcare, working in various strategic growth positions.  After a Parkinson’s diagnosis in Feb. of 2019, Teresa noticed that many people living with Parkinson’s had a similar experience as she did at the time of diagnosis: there was little to no education and they were left to figure Parkinson’s out on their own. This realization, paired with Teresa’s healthcare background, motivated her to create Parkinson’s Pathway Pals (PPP).  

 

In this episode, she discusses how she continues to thrive, despite chronic disease, and how you can too!

My guest today is the beautiful Amanda Price of https://PassionsAcrossAmerica.com who recently completed my Inner Circle coaching program with the Pageant Interview Game Plan

In her words, “As Miss Crown of Tennessee, I had it all. I was going to law school, publishing another article, going to events, and traveling across the United States as President of the National Sports and Entertainment Law Society. But something was missing. I wasn’t giving back, and I felt very unfulfilled. I made the decision to start volunteering when I traveled. With my new will to volunteer, the Summer of Service was born.

“The Summer of Service was a project that allowed me to serve and volunteer in all 50 states. When I traveled for business, I would also spend time volunteering. Volunteering in this capacity allowed me to work with many different groups, support many different causes, and encourage so many people across the country to get involved in their own communities.

“I was inspired by how much of a difference one summer was able to make, but no one really knew what was happening except for the people that I was volunteering with. Something this good just had to be shared, so I started a blog and with it Passions Across America was born. “Through blogging, I’m able to share my experiences with different organizations, raise money for their causes, and recognize the wonderful people that make all of this possible. I’m also able to showcase other people and causes near and dear to their hearts.” – Amanda Price, https://passionsacrossamercia.com
