    #170 What No One Tells You About “Good” Business Advice

    Want to start hearing a lot of unsolicited opinions come out of the woodwork?  Here’s a tip: Announce that you’re starting a business. Suddenly, it seems like everyone around you has some sage advice to pass on. That’s exactly why I’ve dedicated this week’s podcast episode to breaking down What No One Tells You About “Good” Business Advice. The truth is, not all advice is inherently “good” OR “bad”... ✅ Some of it comes from people who’ve never built a business. ✅ Some of it comes from people who’ve built something successful - but in a completely different way with different resources and risks. And that’s what makes business advice so tricky. It usually sounds confident and is often well-intentioned. But you simply don’t realize how unhelpful it is to you and your goals until you try to live inside it. Over the years I’ve invested in countless courses, worked with amazing coaches, and experimented with more strategies than I can count in my business. Some advice helped me grow faster than I ever imagined. Some didn’t work at all. And some took me close to building a business that looked good on paper, but felt completely wrong for me. 🎧 So tune in for this week’s episode because I want to save you some time, energy, and unnecessary frustration by sharing the top three pieces of business advice I would absolutely avoid and what to focus on instead. After all, just because someone confidently shares a piece of advice that worked for them, doesn’t mean it should be followed blindly… Want to learn how you can generate launch-sized revenue from your online course without launching?

    #169 What Happened When I Quit Shrinking Myself in My Business

    For a long time, I moved through life feeling like I needed to apologize for everything. I constantly felt like a combination of ‘too much’ and ‘not enough’ at the same time. I was too loud, too quiet. Too ambitious, and not ambitious enough.  When I started my business, that unfortunate pattern followed me like a shadow. Every bold step I took forward came with an immediate step back… just in case someone thought I was ‘too much’.  Sound like a familiar feeling to you?  ➡️ That’s why I want to get real and vulnerable on this week’s podcast episode where I’m sharing What Happened When I Quit Shrinking Myself in My Business and how I completely changed the way I was showing up. Especially as women building online course businesses, we’re carrying decades of cultural messaging about the importance of staying small, agreeable, and likeable. At the same time we’re trying to build a business we believe in. Something big, meaningful, and world-changing. And those two things don’t mix. Unsurprisingly, the moment I finally snapped and decided I was done apologizing for every decision I made was exactly when my business took off.  So if you're feeling that tug-of-war inside yourself - wanting to take big action and being afraid someone might judge you for it - this week’s podcast episode is for you. 💡 Join me on the journey of exactly what happened when I quit shrinking myself in my business plus the five major things I stopped apologizing for in order to get there.

    #168 How to Stay Resilient When Your Business Feels Heavy

    Let’s be honest…  …building a business isn’t for the faint of heart. There are moments when you feel on top of the world – course sales are rolling in, clients are happy, and everything is finally ‘clicking’. And then out of nowhere, something breaks. Your funnel flops, a team member quits, or your ads stop converting. Suddenly that confident energy starts to fade and leaves you thinking… ➡️ That’s why I’m dedicating this week’s podcast episode to How to Stay Resilient When Your Business Feels Heavy. The lessons I’m going to share with you have helped me get through some of the toughest seasons in my own business and come out stronger on the other side. The truth is, every course creator who’s ever scaled to six or seven figures has been right where you are and felt what you’re feeling now. But what separates the ones who keep growing their business from those who burn out is the resilience to keep moving forward even when things feel messy. 🔗 So tune in for this week’s podcast episode to learn my top four things to remember when business feels hard.

    #167 3 Beliefs That Will Transform Your Relationship With Business Goals

    I’ve always been the kind of person who loves having a good goal to strive for. Give me a target, a timeline, or a number to hit and I’m on it. But a while back, something shifted. I realized that somewhere along the way, hitting my goals had gone from being motivating… to feeling like a constant test. I truly didn’t see it happening, but somehow it became about more than simply reaching a milestone or accomplishment. I began to tie my own self-worth to reaching my business goals. 💡 That’s why in this week’s podcast episode, I’m breaking down the 3 Beliefs That Will Transform Your Relationship With Business Goals. It’s all about balance. Having goals for your business is inspiring, motivating, and a positive tool for growth… ...but obsessing over goals and believing that missing one means something is wrong with you - not so positive. Over the last year, I made the intentional choice to untangle my self-worth from whether or not I hit a revenue milestone, filled a program, or checked every box on my quarterly plan. And the result? I became happier, calmer, more grounded, and ironically, I started hitting more of my goals. Ready to unpack the three key beliefs that helped me transform my relationship with business goals? 🎧 Tune in now to learn how you can grow your course business with more ease, more profit, and a lot less emotional whiplash.

    #166 How to Stop Getting in Your Own Way and Start Selling More Courses

    If you’re like most course creators, you probably think success comes down to having a smart strategy: the right funnel, the right content, the right offer. And of course, those things do matter greatly. But there’s one piece of the puzzle that doesn’t get talked about enough… Sometimes, the biggest thing standing between you and consistent sales - is you. ✅ That’s why in this week’s podcast episode, I’m taking you on a deep dive into How to Stop Getting in Your Own Way and Start Selling More Courses. Now when I say YOU are standing in the way, I don’t mean who you are as a person. I mean all the things that smart course creators like you do that get in the way of executing.  The overthinking. Hesitation. The moments where you know exactly what you should be doing, but you can’t get yourself to do those things. I’ve been there too. More times than I’d like to admit. But the first step in getting past this stage is recognizing when you may be getting in your own way. So, are you ready to discover the three ways I’ve learned to stop sabotaging my own success (and start managing the emotions that keep so many course creators stuck instead of scaling)? Tune in to find out now! 🤫 Want to learn how you can generate launch-sized revenue from your online course without launching?

    #165 Why You Should Stop Launching and Start Selling Your Course On Autopilot (And Quit Launching for Good)

    Launching is exhausting. 🥴 The stress, pressure, and the emotional rollercoaster of it all… It's overwhelming. And for what? A couple small spikes in revenue followed by months of radio silence. And then you have to begin the launch cycle all over again.  ✅ In this week’s podcast episode, I’m revealing three very specific reasons Why You Should Stop Launching and Start Selling Your Course on Autopilot. Plus, I’m breaking down exactly why shifting to an evergreen sales model was the smartest move I ever made. The year I ditched the launch model and started selling my course on autopilot was the year that everything “clicked”: steady revenue, consistent sales, and way less stress.  It was also the year I finally crossed the million dollar mark.  Frankly, I don’t think I ever would have gotten there if I kept launching. Especially considering my learned belief at the time was that launching was the ONLY way to grow my online course business. I can tell you right now - the most important lesson I’ve learned in my business journey is that there is always more than one right way to do something.  🔗 So if you’re ready to uncover the three reasons why (and how) I traded in high-risk launches for consistent, predictable revenue month after month, join me for this week’s discussion!

    #164 5 Myths About Selling Your First Evergreen Course

    There’s a lot of conflicting advice out there when it comes to selling your evergreen course. When looking for answers, you may hear one person say you HAVE to launch first in order to be successful. While the next person says you need a huge email list.  And the next swears you need to drop thousands on ad spend just to make a single sale.  It’s no wonder course creators end up spinning their wheels wondering what’s actually true.  💡 That’s why in this week’s podcast episode I’m clearing the air once and for all and busting the top 5 Myths About Selling Your First Evergreen Course. And honestly, most of these myths don’t stem from people intentionally giving you bad advice.  They come from those who mean well, but are teaching strategies that only work in specific contexts… usually launches.  Evergreen is a completely different game with its own rules, timing, and rhythm.  Once you tap into the magic of evergreen, selling your course becomes so much simpler and more profitable. ✅ So let’s unpack five of the biggest myths about evergreen funnels that are keeping you from making consistent, predictable sales.

When your funnel isn’t converting - it does NOT mean you’re bad at this, your course won’t ever sell, or that evergreen doesn’t work for you.  The simple truth is, it’s usually just a few sneaky mistakes hiding in plain sight that are costing you sales. The great news is once you can identify them, you can fix them fast.  Early on in my business journey, I was convinced I was doing “all the right things”. It would drive me nuts when “all the right things” led to zero course sales. I wish someone had warned me about these mistakes when I first started using evergreen funnels to sell my course. Which is why I want to share exactly that on this week’s podcast episode. 🔗 Tune in now to learn the three big evergreen funnel mistakes every course creator must avoid IF they are serious about selling their online course on autopilot 24/7.
