Building a business also means building a team. And if you’re not careful (and you’re not building a team), you’re building a job not a business. So if you’re wondering how to piece it all together – growing a business and building an effective, happy team then this is the episode for you! Our COO,
If you’re growing a business, then you’ve certainly heard of “niching down.” But most of the time, entrepreneurs will niche down to a small group of people. For example, a yoga teacher might niche down to women, and then women in their 40’s. They might even niche further, like women who are moms in their
I’ve grown multiple businesses over the years, and looking back, the most successful had 6 fundamentals that led to their success. (And the ones that weren’t successful were missing a few of these fundamentals). In fact, when all 6 were properly used, those offers grew the quickest! Ask me to launch a new product or
I remember starting my first business and feeling like everything was on my shoulders. Retirement, insurance, writing myself a paycheck (when I could)… I kept wondering how everyone else was doing it! Because $5,000 in revenue was not $5,000 in the bank. But what I didn’t understand was the difference between a money machine and
One question I hear all the time… If you had to start all over and build a million-dollar business in 2024, how would you do it? And today, I’m going to answer it alongside my good friend James Wedmore. If you don’t know James, his online course business has over $80 million in sales, he
We all have insecurities and negative patterns we fall into like guilting or victimhood. This can take the form of thoughts like, “Why am I not ‘there’ yet?”, or, “What’s wrong with me? Why Can’t I figure this out?” It’s especially easy to fall into these thoughts and emotions when starting something new like a
As a business owner with over 1,000 students in my programs at any given time, we’ve built a team of go-to coaches who are in the know when it comes to our teachings and what students need. Our senior coaches work with students each day. They know what’s working, what’s not, and how to help
Students often ask me to help them with their messaging on an opt-in page, and when I ask what it’s converting at, they say 40%. My response? Nope, that opt-in page does not need help. Uncovering what’s working with your messaging and what’s not is HUGE in your business. Because otherwise, you’re wasting time and
You’ve heard me talk about educational content quite a bit and how it shouldn’t be 100% of the content you put out there. But it does play an important role in your messaging when you do need to teach, like in webinars or a percentage of your social media content. For my students, many get
Imagine using only a few sentences to help your audience understand the root cause of their problem and see you and what you provide as the solution. You’d know what to say and when to say it to build the bridge between the problem and your solution, ultimately bringing in more sales. This is the
Ever feel like you’re preaching into the void? You launch your solution, shout about the features… and hear crickets. They’re not ignoring you they just can’t see why they need it. I used to do the same thing: start at the finish line. Pitch first, connect later. No wonder nobody tuned in. In today’s world,
Ever felt like you’re pouring great content into the void and getting crickets in return? That was me until I realized I was skipping the most critical step in marketing: the bridge. Imagine you’re driving 40 mph and your car starts shaking. A sign that reads “We fix timing belts” won’t make you stop you
When I started teaching this four years ago, I’d ask people, “Is your messaging off?” and get blank stares. Nobody knew what messaging even was. They just knew their content wasn’t working. So I changed one thing. I started saying: “Is your content filled with great information, but you’re not seeing the sales or engagement?
I’ll be honest I didn’t want to talk about AI this year. I thought it would steal the human magic from messaging. But after testing it, I’ve seen its power…and its pitfalls. Back when I started, writing killer copy meant years of mastery. Now, everyone jumps into ChatGPT, types “write my Facebook ad,” and wonders
Have you ever blasted out a perfect product pitch… only to hear crickets? I’ve been there. When I first taught messaging, I’d ask, “Want to fix your messaging?” Their response? Blank stares. Because they didn’t even know messaging was the problem. They knew their content wasn’t landing. They knew they were getting zero engagement. So
Have you felt your industry flip upside-down overnight? Pricing, launches, even the way people buy courses it’s been a whirlwind. I’ve seen more change in the past few months than in years prior. And if you’re stuck wondering how to not just survive, but actually grow right now, I’ve got you. I spent eight months
