    Inside a $1.5 Million Launch: Nici Sweaney's Full Story (AI Her Way) — Part 1 of 2

    I am so incredibly excited to introduce you to Nici Sweaney — AI powerhouse and my incredible client. Nici is Australia's Female AI Leader of the Year, was featured on the Forbes Women list, and in June 2023 launched the first round of AI Her Way. Within six months — while still working a full-time job and raising four kids — she'd hit six figures. Today, she's tracking past $2 million a year with no full-time employees and a four-day workweek. Nici and I started working together six months ago, and during that first six-month period, she went on to have a $1.5 million launch from her membership program. I wanted to bring her onto the podcast to talk you through that entire process — her mindset, the strategy, the messaging, the marketing — and the very real, very human story behind how she got here.  This is part one of a two-part series, and I know you're going to love it. We covered: — How Nici went from earning $33K a year in academia to building a 7-figure AI business — Why she nearly abandoned the idea before it even started — The scarcity "yes" trap and what saying yes to the wrong things actually costs you — Quitting her job on a phone call and what happened immediately after — The moment she had to choose one business model and fully commit — Why she chose a coach based on values, not just results — How she used AI to build her own personal coaching council — What a coach's real job actually is (hint: it's not what most people think) — The membership model she almost talked herself out of — and why she's glad she didn't Join Nici’s FREE MASTERCLASS — How AI Ran Nici's $1.5M Launch:  https://go.aiherway.com.au/masterclass-june-2026  LINKS: FREE GUIDE: Sell Out & Retain Mastermind Clients in 2026: https://ellieswift.com/mastermind2026 Connect with Ellie on Instagram: https://instagram.com/elliehswift Subscribe to Inside The Mastermind Newsletter: https://ellieswift.com/newsletter Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@elliehswift Keen to work together?
