    How Ruby Lee Built Passive “Daily Sales” After High-Ticket Burnout

    [EXPERT VOICES, UNFILTERED] Today I’m catching up with one of my biz besties, Ruby Lee, and letting you listen in😎 We talk about how she moved from running multiple high-ticket masterminds to a simple, low-ticket, daily-sales model that feels lighter, more profitable per unit of energy, and wildly her. We also get honest about rough seasons, rebuilding your spark, and creating from flow (not the algorithm). If you’ve ever wondered whether low-ticket “micro-offers” can attract high-ticket buyers (spoiler: yes), how to keep sales coming in every day without launches, or how to write emails people actually want to read, this one’s your jam. In this episode, we cover: The pivot: Why Ruby paused her masterminds after a draining year and what she did first (a $7 “vision doc” that did $1K in 48 hours). Low-ticket ≠ low value: Pricing at $17–$27 while keeping average order value $300–$500 with bumps & upsells. Evergreen momentum: Turning live workshops into always-on products and selling them daily. High-ticket buyers do buy low-ticket: How micro-offers become a trust-building preview that leads to Ruby’s mastermind—without a hard pitch. Email, but human: Ruby’s daily, diary-style emails (sometimes two sentences!) that drive clicks and sales. Flow over formulas: Letting your unique genius lead—even when your topic or offers evolve. Quotables “I didn’t quit high-ticket—I stopped leading with it.” —Ruby “My freebie is my long-form content. The guides are the paid shortcut.” —Ruby “Low-ticket isn’t small—it’s simple. And simple sells daily.” —Meg Resources & Mentions Ruby’s podcast: Flow State Business Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flow-state-business/id1384762015  Ruby on Instagram: @rubylee: https://www.instagram.com/_rubylee_/  My episode on Ruby’s podcast : Being the Breadwinner + Mother + and Entrepreneur: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/being-the-breadwinner-a-mother-an/id1384762015?i=1000730661893 Connect with Meg Instagram: @meganyelaney: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney Get the Business Story Blueprint: https://meganyelaney.com/business-story-blueprint If this episode helped: send it to a biz bestie, rate & review Business Not As Usual, and tag us with your biggest takeaway. 💥

    Launch Debrief 2025: How I Closed $96,357 with 3 Warm-Up Events (Exact Numbers, Conversion Rates, and What I’d Repeat)

    In this episode of Business, Not As Usual, I’m pulling back the curtain on my most recent Distinctive Edge launch—numbers, takeaways, and what actually worked. I’m walking you through the full debrief: how we brought in $96,357 in total sales, the breakdown between my new and continuing clients, where leads came from, and how three key warm-up events all played a role in conversions. I share the exact stats: from the perfect 10/10 Base and VIP split to which offers converted best, and why this launch felt easier, calmer, and more effective than ever. We’ll talk about how long it really takes someone to buy, why “Goldilocks-level teaching” is the secret to a strong conversion event, and how low-ticket offers can fast-track trust for higher-ticket programs (when done right). You’ll also hear my honest emotional take on this round: what it was like launching while solo parenting twins for nine days, how I prepped everything early, and why letting go of perfection made this one of my most peaceful launches to date. If you love behind-the-scenes strategy mixed with a little real-life chaos, this one’s for you.

    Identity Before Strategy: How to Break Income Ceilings with NLP (with Rachel Joy)

    [EXPERT VOICES, UNFILTERED] If you’ve ever thought “I just need a new strategy,” this one’s for you. Rachel Joy (NLP trainer, hypnotherapist, and creator of Neuro Recode™) breaks down why your identity and subconscious beliefs set your income ceiling—not your content calendar. We dig into the science (in plain English), how to spot when it’s an identity issue vs. a strategy tweak, and practical ways to shift fast without white-knuckling your way through affirmations. What you’ll learn Identity before strategy: Why your self-image and values dictate results (and how that shows up on camera, in copy, and in sales). Subconscious 101 for entrepreneurs: Deleting/distorting/generalizing, why “don’t think of a purple tree” never works, and how to speak to your brain so it listens. Belief → behavior → bank account: How tonality + physiology (not just words) make your content “stick.” Capacity & seasonality: Building a business that matches your energy (especially for moms / multi-business owners). Comparison detox: Simple ways to put on blinders, stop timeline pressure, and regain conviction. Tools that actually help: Gentle affirmations that land, exposure therapy done right, hypnosis/NLP for quicker identity shifts. Quotables “It’s all working—and it’s all not working. It works to the extent you believe it will.” “Words are only 7% of communication. Tonality and physiology sell your offer before your CTA does.” “Impatience is one of the biggest blocks to your success. You can’t rush identity.” “If I’m going to get there anyway, why stress about the timeline?” Rachel’s Links: →Join NeuroRecode Top Coach Training: https://theracheljoy.systeme.io/topcoachcode →Get the Confident Coach Hypno Bundle: https://www.theracheljoy.com/confidentcoach →Connect with Rachel on Instagram: @theracheljoy1   Meg’s Links: →Discover how to craft a powerful business origin story that sets you apart, builds trust, and inspires clients to work with you: https://meganyelaney.com/business-story-blueprint →Connect with Meg on Instagram: @meganyelaney

    The Coaching Comeback: How Danielle Found Her Voice (and Clients) Again After a 9 Month Hiatus & Niche Pivot

    [TDE Client Case Study] Starting over in business after success in a previous niche can feel frustrating, humbling, and even impossible at times. That’s exactly where Danielle Robin found herself after years as a relationship coach. After navigating her own major life transition, Danielle knew she wanted to pivot into helping women in their 30s and 40s recover from long-term breakups—but she was stuck on how to position herself in this new version of her business. She had the experience. She had the drive. But what she didn’t have was clear messaging that set her apart. Inside The Distinctive Edge (TDE), Danielle rediscovered her voice, clarified her story, and began marketing in a way that felt authentic and compelling. In this client case study episode of Business Not As Usual, you’ll hear: Why messaging is the missing link when pivoting into a new niche. The difference between standing out in 2017 vs. today’s coaching industry (and why the “game has changed”). How Danielle went from being paused for 9 months to sending her first emails, posting again on Instagram, and signing clients. Why taking the program at her own pace actually accelerated her breakthroughs. The unexpected wins she celebrated—like finally launching her Substack after sitting on it for nearly a year. Danielle’s story is proof that you don’t need all the stars to align to start signing clients. Even in a pivot, even if you’ve been “off” for a while—you can rebuild, reignite your confidence, and create a business that reflects where you are now. 👉 Apply for The Distinctive Edge here: https://meganyelaney.com/tde  👉 Connect with Danielle on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dani__robin/  👉Check out Danielle’s Substack: https://substack.com/@danirobin
