    How To Go From Idea To Launching - DTL Clip #7

    There’s one mindset shift that could make or break your launch. And it’s often the difference between just having an idea… and actually executing a launch that brings in life-changing sales. In this week’s episode of Dare to Launch, three of my Launch Coaches – Jolene, Barry, and Julie – break down this shift, so you can see how to turn your idea into a real, paying business. And they should know… Between them, they’ve debriefed hundreds of launches. They’ve seen “under the hood” of many 6, 7, and 8-figure businesses. They’ve seen all there is to see… and they know what works. They’ll show you how to shift from idea to execution, including: Two quick questions to test your offer – if you can answer “YES” to both, then you KNOW you have an offer people are willing to pay for The mistake most new business owners make when trying to figure out what their audience wants (it’s not what you think – literally!) How to speak your customer’s language so they recognize you as the best – and ONLY – solution Why a saturated market isn’t a red flag… and why it can actually be a sign you’re on the right track The simple language tweak that helps you connect with your audience immediately and makes them feel like you truly “get” them. … and more!   If you’re ready to discover what your audience really wants, so you can go and create it… and launch, check out this week’s episode… For the full conversation with our Launch Club Coaches on the Stages of Entrepreneurship here: https://youtu.be/K3Reg-BafNk Get free Launch Resources at http://www.getyoulaunched.com BONUS: Dare to Launch bonus content by going to http://www.DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco  Hear more from Jeff Walker on...  YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@productlaunch  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jeffwalkerco Resources Referenced in the episode: Launch Club Coaching Program.

    You Don’t Need To Be Ready w/ Jeff Noble - DTL Clip #6

    Everyone’s reaction to their first launch is different…   “I made $2,000… and I nearly pooped my pants.”   That ^^^  was Jeff Noble’s.    In this short clip from Dare to Launch, Chris and I sit down with Jeff, founder of Noble Initiatives – a groundbreaking organization that provides education and support to families affected by fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).   Jeff shares some of the big lessons he’s learned along the way, including how he went from those nervous beginnings to sharing speaking stages with doctors, Olympic athletes, and other highly credentialed professionals – all without having any fancy titles or qualifications of his own.    There are a bunch of highlights here, including:   Why you don’t need fancy titles or credentials to launch… and what your customers really care about instead   Why launching is more than just sales – if you’re only focusing on numbers, you might be missing out on some awesome opportunities   How to launch… even if you don’t feel quite ready   What is a “Launch Parachute” – and how can it keep you and your launch on track… even when things go sideways   It’s always fun talking to Jeff Noble. He’s a testament that launching with heart, humanity, and passion can make a life-changing difference… even if you don’t have everything figured out yet.

    Change Your Questions, Change Your Future w/ Elliott Connie - DTL #35

    Chris and I welcome the amazing Elliott Connie back to the podcast this week!  Elliott is a world-renowned author, speaker, podcaster, and behavioral therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. His latest book, “Change Your Questions, Change Your Future,” focuses on how we can transform our lives simply by asking the right questions.    Elliott has found a direct link between curiosity and success. And it’s not just that successful people are more curious – they know the right questions to ask in order to take action and move forward. Lucky for us, this ability isn’t some kind of innate superpower – or reserved for the rich and famous – it’s a trainable muscle anyone can learn how to flex.    Every time I talk to Elliott, I take five pages of notes, and this conversation is no exception. There’s something special and actionable here for entrepreneurs of all stages and walks of life.    You’ll discover: Why staying positive in tough times isn’t just a “nice to have” – it’s a proven strategy for unlocking clarity and creativity   How your words and body language can empower those around you to reach their potential   The surprising role willpower plays in shaping your circumstances (if you thought success was determined by your talent or external circumstances, you’ll love this)   What the most successful people do in moments of crisis – and how you can model their behavior   … and much more.   Get Elliott’s new book here: www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Questions-Future-Challenges/dp/1401970524 Get free Launch Resources at http://www.getyoulaunched.com BONUS: Dare to Launch bonus content by going to http://www.DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco Hear more from Jeff Walker on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@productlaunch Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jeffwalkerco  Learn how to build an email list and launch your own business online with Launch Quickstart – our free training at https://jeffwalker.com/  Got a question for us?  Go to DaretoLaunchShow.com to submit a voicemail with your question, and you might hear the answer on one of our next episodes!   THANKS FOR TUNING IN!

    What Entrepreneurs Can Learn From Championship Tennis w/ Will Hamilton - DTL Clip #5

    In this excerpt from our chat with Will Hamilton, the founder of popular tennis coaching website Fuzzy Yellow Balls, he shares some of the lessons learned from working with tennis pros. He’s been able to shoot exclusive training videos with tennis legends like The Bryan Brothers and Martina Navratilova over the years, and he’s been absolutely amazed by the professionalism and skill with which they operate. These interactions have influenced his work ethic and mindset as an entrepreneur, and he walks us through the biggest lessons he’s been able to apply in his business.   For more insight into the intersection of professional tennis and entrepreneurship, as well as some easy ways to incorporate humor into your marketing, check out the full conversation here: https://youtu.be/O9WO2Hy58I0?si=H2Jcrk7cPiIyuUzr  Key takeaways:  Professional tennis players live an incredibly regimented lifestyle and are ready to spring into action at any moment. It’s a level of discipline we should all envy.  As entrepreneurs we should aspire to this level of discipline, but understand that the playing field is a lot bigger in our world and give ourselves the grace to still live our lives.  When working with talented pros from any field, we should always aspire to be just as prepared for the job as they are.  Learn more about the newest version of Product Launch Formula at http://www.getyoulaunched.com BONUS: Dare to Launch bonus content by going to DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco Hear more from Jeff YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@productlaunch Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jeffwalkerco Got a question for us?

    After Two Decades of Launch Strategy — Here’s What’s Changed… DTL: #33

    In this special episode, I finally reveal the big project I’ve been holding back for six months – the BRAND NEW, completely reimagined version of my Product Launch Formula (PLF).  This is the biggest evolution in the 19-year history of PLF. And to celebrate Chris and I are taking you behind the scenes of our creation process, from redesigning the program from scratch to adapting it for today’s fast-paced digital world.  You’ll learn what it takes to build a truly world-class online course, the surprising shifts in launch strategies over the years, and why PLF continues to stay at the cutting edge for new and seasoned entrepreneurs alike.

Why Less Is More: Find out why we slashed the course length in HALF – without sacrificing any of the impact. A New Twist on the “Thud Factor”: With the new PLF, we ditched the days of jam-packed, information-heavy courses and embraced a sleek, streamlined approach. Here’s why.

    DTL Clip #4: Fun Products Can Transform Lives

    “Jeff, what if my product is just for fun? What If I teach ice skating courses? Or guitar lessons? How do I sell that service as truly transformational for my clients?”   I get this question all the time, and it’s one of my favorites. In this clip from our Launch Masterclass Q&A earlier this year, I offer my two cents. Lots of folks worry that marketing “fun” is a lot more difficult than marketing professional success courses or, say, physical health products. But in my opinion, that line of logic drastically underestimates the value of fun in today’s world. In explaining my point, I turn to the great work that our friend Amy Small has done with Knit Collage. She doesn't just sell yarn and designs… she sells her clients the ability to connect to their inner child through a tactile, communal crafting experience. So if your product can help someone become a more confident, happier, accomplished individual, you’re off to the races.    Key takeaways:  Entrepreneurs either bring joy to people or minimize pain… both are noble missions Helping someone improve at a craft, hobby, or sport may seem nonessential, but we have to think about how that improvement helps people on a deeper level  The world is pretty crazy right now… as entrepreneurs it’s our purpose to help folks feel happier and more fulfilled in life     Learn how to build an email list and launch your own business online with Launch Quickstart – our free training at https://getyoulaunched.com Dare to Launch bonus content by going to https://DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco More about Jeff Walker - http://www.JeffWalker.com Jeff’s Book, Launch - http://www.jeffwalker.com/programs/book  Jeff’s YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/@productlaunch  Got a question for us?  Go to DaretoLaunchShow.com to submit a voicemail with your question, and you might hear the answer on one of our next episodes!   THANKS FOR TUNING IN!

    DTL Clip #3 - The $1 Million Documentary Launch with Michael Maidens

    What seems like a crazy idea could revolutionize your industry and become the norm. For instance, when Michael Maidens’ team was tasked with marketing an exciting new documentary, he floated a revolutionary idea to the room: What if we premiered it online for 10 days… for free? That was the germ of the hugely successful marketing campaign behind “Hungry for Change.” And all these years later, dozens of documentaries have followed suit. In this excerpt from our conversation with Michael, he walks us through that decision – how he thought of it, why it was successful, and what he learned from the process. For more insight into Michael’s process, and his emphasis on harnessing your authenticity in marketing, check out the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRgJtTJYfpw Key takeaways:  Focusing on the process is key – outline your desired outcomes and then work backwards to map out the steps you’ll need to get you there. Your marketing needs to be valuable even for non-paying customers – you want to create content that people genuinely love and want to share. Don’t be afraid of risky marketing ideas. If you feel like a tactic will achieve your goal while staying in sync with the identity of your product, go for it!   Learn how to build an email list and launch your own business online with Launch Quickstart – our free training at http://www.getyoulaunched.com  Access other Dare to Launch bonus content by going to http://www.DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco   More about Jeff Walker - http://www.JeffWalker.com Jeff’s YouTube channel -  https://www.youtube.com@productlaunch   Got a question for us?  Go to DaretoLaunchShow.com to submit a voicemail with your question, and you might hear the answer on one of our next episodes!
