    How ‘Experimenting’ Made Us $104K from ONE New Offer (And How You Can Test New Business Offers Faster!)

    Ever felt stuck in analysis paralysis when launching a new offer in your business? You map out every detail, tweak every module, and perfect every piece of content…only to delay the launch or feel disappointed by the results? Been there. Done that. That’s why we started experimenting in our business — testing and validating new offers in real time before pouring months into development. And guess what? One of our experiments last year turned into an $104K revenue stream…from just one brand-new offer (and it’s just getting started!). Inside this episode of The Freedom-Filled Life Podcast™, we’re pulling back the curtain on exactly how we launched a brand-new program from idea to revenue-generating offer in just 60 days — without spending months on end building content, guessing what our audience wanted, or overcomplicating the process. If you’re thinking about launching a new program, service offer, course, or membership — this is the episode you need to hear! How we turned “experimenting” with a brand new offer into $104K in revenue (and counting!) – without months or planning (or overthinking everything!) Our exact 6-figure launch strategy we used to launch this brand new offer – plus, how we built excitement, decided on pricing and filled our program before we even created the content! A behind-the-scenes breakdown of our email marketing strategy and timeline to launch our new offer – (psst…we generated 67 applications from potential clients in weeks!) Why we treated this business idea as an “experiment” – and how this approach is revolutionizing our business growth! If you’re ready to launch (or refine) your next offer without the stress, perfectionism, or wasted time — this episode is for you!
