  • Three books to read over the holiday break
    2024/12/18
    Check out 3 books this holiday break that can change everything for your life and business. 1. 100 Million Dollar Offers by Alex Hermosi: This isn't your average fluff-filled marketing book. Hermosi lays it all out – no holds barred – on how to craft offers so compelling people practically beg to buy. He shares strategies that work across the board, whether you're selling freebies, low-ticket mini-courses, or high-ticket programs. Seriously, the guy's a straight shooter, and I appreciate that. I even use his School platform for my membership because of the killer Monday coaching calls – pure gold!


    Summary: A no-nonsense guide to creating irresistible offers that convert.

    My Thoughts: Straightforward, practical, and works for any offer type.


    2. The Happy Pocket Full of Money by David R. Hamilton (with a foreword by Bob Doyle): This isn't just about making more money; it's about shifting your entire relationship with wealth. The book tackles those pesky mental blocks around money – the fear of change, the feeling of unworthiness – and helps you reframe your thinking. It’s made a huge difference for me, helping me realize money is just energy, and you can create abundance without drastically altering your life.


    Summary: A mindset shift towards wealth and abundance.

    My Thoughts: A game-changer, especially if you’re transitioning from trading time for money to building an online empire. (I've read it at least three times!)


    3. Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans: This book isn't strictly business-focused, but it’s a critical companion for anyone looking to design a fulfilling life. It applies design thinking principles to crafting a career path that truly resonates. I'm currently reading this one, and so far, I'm totally hooked. It’s perfect for anyone feeling a bit lost or unsure about their next career move, regardless of age.


    Summary: A practical guide to designing your career and life using design thinking.

    My Thoughts: Highly recommended, especially for career transitions and long-term planning (I'm already planning to have my husband read it!)


    I'm taking a break for the holidays, but I'll be back in January with a refreshed perspective and big plans for 2025. One of those plans involves a massive revamp of Prep School, my membership community. I'm creating a foundational marketing course – think blueprint for online success – that will help you build your business strategically from the ground up. It’s going to be amazing, launching January 1st! Join me inside today to be the first to see it!

  • How I travel for FREE-ish
    2024/12/10

    The episode's focus then shifts to the financial side, outlining my system: an LLC, separate business bank accounts (checking and savings, plus a future high-yield account), and two strategically used business credit cards (one for expenses, one for advertising) to maximize rewards points for travel. I detail how these points funded recent family vacations to Jamaica, London, and Paris, and how this system helps me stay organized and manage potential risks like ad account hacks. I encourage listeners to find their own system, emphasizing the importance of paying off credit card balances diligently.

    You can check out those Credit Cards with Free bonus points HERE

  • Making 5 figures in 5 days
    2024/12/04

    My recent five-day (well really 6) sales blitz, inspired by Gemma Bottom Carter's program, generated $11,535! I leveraged a nurtured email list (12,354 subscribers!) and a simple one-page sales strategy featuring five daily offers, culminating in a Cyber Monday blowout. Each day showcased a different product: Simple Funnels software, my membership course, the brand-new List Building Blueprint, a marketing bundle, and another membership push. While I aimed for $10,000-$20,000, the results highlight the power of targeted email marketing and the scalability of digital product sales.. The List Building Blueprint, a course teaching email list nurturing, is now available to help you achieve similar success.

  • 5 ways to double your revenue next year
    2024/11/18

    Last week during our Q&A session in the Prep School community, I discussed with a student the growth strategies for her mini course funnel. We explored the concept of stability in an online business, focusing on low-ticket, passive income avenues. I emphasized the importance of diversifying business strategies beyond a single funnel to ensure stability and resilience against potential setbacks like ad failures or market changes. We talked about structuring a business with multiple support pillars—such as memberships, email lists, and ways that allow for scalability without demanding more time. These discussions aim to help members envision and build their "dream business," which balances revenue growth with personal commitments, especially important for those like my student who is a busy parent of twins.

    These courses will be for sale next week for Black Friday!

  • My plan to scale to 100k months
    2024/11/05

    Absolutely! Over the past year and a half, I've been hovering around the $20K to $40K per month revenue mark, but I'm setting my sights on achieving $100K months through low-ticket, stress-free strategies. My approach avoids high-ticket, time-consuming coaching by focusing on automations and selling mini courses, aiming for ample personal time and operational efficiency. To optimize my business, I'm enhancing the backend of my sales funnels to improve upselling and customer retention through timed offers and deeper integration of my offerings.

  • Create a Cash Injection Black Friday Week
    2024/10/29

    I used to think Black Friday was just about big box stores and holiday shopping. But it's a game-changer for online course businesses! People are primed to spend, and a well-timed sale can really boost your revenue.

    Here are three ways to run a BF sale- a simple coupon code, a bundled course offer, and a five-day, five-deal blitz. I'll be using my email list as my primary sales channel, and I'm even considering shutting off my ads for the week to avoid getting lost in the noise.

    Here's the breakdown:

    Coupon Code: Easy peasy! Offer a percentage off on all your courses, and simply send out a coupon code to your email list.

    Bundle Offer: Package your courses together with a discounted price. This is great for getting more products into the hands of your audience.

    Five Days, Five Deals: This is my personal favorite! It's a bit more work, but it can be a real game-changer. I'll be running one sale each day for five days, with each product on sale for just 24 hours.

    The key is to start planning now. Get your emails written, sales pages set up, and everything organized. And remember, even if you don't do anything elaborate this year, you can use it as a learning experience for next year.

    I'm so excited to see how this all unfolds! DM me on Instagram and let me know what Black Friday sales you're running. I'd love to hear your ideas and share some tips.

    Remember, you can check out my free resources in the show notes. And if you love the podcast, leave a five-star rating! It really helps.
