This week on Should I Care? we (Sophie Griffiths & Ruthie Walmsley) start the mini series: Launch Diaries. We're both meant to be launching this month and neither of us has arrived in September with the new-term energy we were promised (we're recording on what was supposed to be the first day back, which tells you most of it).
Because there's a version of September where everyone comes back with a bang, and then there's the actual one, where you're staring at a launch you said you'd do, wondering whether you've got it in you. Ruthie has a wait list of 21 people she still hasn't opened the doors to, an audience she's convinced isn't big enough, and a course of Sophie's she bought to fix exactly that and never opened.
Sophie worked 8 days across the whole summer, took on no new clients in July or August, and got the mindset gremlins right on cue anyway. Then, 2 weeks out, with the sign-up pages built and the feedback from her coaches already in, Sophie scrapped the whole thing and started again.
In this episode:
- The 8 days Sophie worked across the whole summer, the revenue locked in & the mindset gremlins that turned up in September regardless
- Ruthie's wait list of 21 people she still hasn't opened the doors to, & the ads budget she earmarked & never spent
- The workshop Sophie had already priced, built & written the sign-up pages for, & why she binned it 2 weeks before launch
- What she's running instead, & the name Ruthie gave 10 out of 10, no notes
New episodes every Tuesday.

Outrageous – for established women coaches and service providers who want one offer designed to hit 6 figures without them being the engine of every sale.
