Episode 80: Most people who create an online course or coaching program focus all of their time creating their program, thinking that once their program is complete, the hard part is done.

What everybody quickly finds out is that creating the program is the EASY part. SELLING your online course or coaching program is the HARD part.

If you want to launch and scale your online business profitably the FIRST time, you need to start working on the marketing BEFRE you’re ready to launch so you can launch profitably and scale fast.

That’s what Emily Hill did and she’s now made multiple 7 figures with her online business in only 2 years because of it.

In this episode, Emily Hill tells us her story about how she planned her online business, launched it successfully, and then scaled it quickly despite running into several problems along the way. She talks about how she got her first sales, the strategies she used, how she got her traffic to scale, and how she overcame each problem she ran into along her journey.

About Emily Hill: Dr. Emily is a tech educator, 7-figure business owner, singer, and mother of 5. With her innovative TechJoy Career Academy, Dr. Emily is transforming the software engineering education landscape by reinventing Tech Ed for the 21st century. Her flagship training program, The Joy of Coding Academy, trains the software innovators of tomorrow by delivering custom business software today.

Dr. Emily began her career like many of her students -- wanting to learn to code and become a software developer. After earning 3 computer science degrees --- investing 10 years of her life and $244K in her education --- she recognized that the traditional university system was not designed to meet the education demands of a constantly-evolving field like technology. After teaching herself how to be a confident, self-sufficient developer, she went on a mission to teach anyone how to code, increase diversity in the tech world, and ultimately transform tech ed as we know it.

Episode 71: There’s nothing worse than starting an online business, investing a ton of time, energy, and money into developing it, spending countless hours and thousands of dollars into learning how to market it, just to find out months (or years) later that nobody is really interested.

Episode 70: Everybody wants the “laptop lifestyle”, but most people who start an online business end up working more hours for less pay.

Even when your business starts having success and you scale to 6 or 7 figures, you may be making more money, but you’re often still left working more than you worked at your full time job.

One of the keys to finally building that laptop lifestyle is building yourself out of the business. In other words, you need to build a team that can run your business without you having to be there 24/7.

However, that’s much easier said than done, because in a lot of cases, business owners find that it takes more time and effort to manage an employee than it does to just do the work yourself.

In this episode, Richard Walsh fills us in on all of the ins-and-outs of hiring the right employees for your online business, how to properly train them in and get them up to speed fast, how to set expectations so they’re always staying on task and not wasting time and money, and even how to fire employees who aren’t performing up to expectations.

About Richard Walsh: Richard is a 30-year seasoned entrepreneur. He’s the best-selling author of “Escape the Owner Prison, the contractor's new way to scale, regain control, and fast-track growth while loving life”. A speaker and podcast host, he’s a husband and father of six children, a US Marine, champion boxer, black belt, and an internationally recognized steel sculptor.

His expertise lies in combining both the strategic and the tactical. He's able to deliver immediate, problem solving results (tactical), along with strategic, long term implementation of systemization and scalability. With over 30 years in business himself, Richard has embraced time compression, sharing the secrets and strategies that bring rapid and lasting results to the companies he works with.

Episode 69: Therapists, counselors, nutritionists, personal trainers, etc… there are many types of service providers who spend years in college to earn an advanced degree just to go to work for another company, putting in 40-60 hours a week, just to earn what a manager at McDonalds makes.

This leads to high stress and burnout in many of these professions.

In this episode, Denielle Rigoglioso explains how therapists and other service providers can 2x – 3x their income by starting their own private practice online while working 50% less.

She goes into detail about how to start your online business on the side while you’re still working a full-time job, how to deal with insurance and different ways of getting paid, how to find clients, and how to grow your business with online courses and coaching.

Episode 67: One of the biggest pain points of selling high ticket offers is having to do sales calls. Not only are you having the same conversation with every single prospect one at a time, but you can only scale sales calls so far before you need to start hiring a sales team.

In today’s episode, Justin “J” Boyum teaches us his virtual event strategy for selling high ticket coaching in a one-to-many setting without having to do sales calls. Not only that, but he also explains how this strategy can be scaled profitably with paid ads.

You might have an amazing product or service that you offer, but if you can’t get exposure and traffic to your offer, then you really don’t have a business.

Episode 65: When it comes to scaling your online business, a lot of the strategies out there are focused on simply bringing in more traffic, or implementing some new marketing gimmick that never really lives up to its promises.

The truth about scaling is that it really depends on your specific situation, and focusing on the wrong strategy at the wrong time can actually decrease profits instead of increase them.

In this episode, Todd and Leah discuss the only 3 strategies you should focus on to scale your online business, and in which order to implement them.

Episode 64: Everyone thought that A.I. would be taking over the boring, menial, low-level jobs in society. But now that A.I. is here, we’re finding out that instead, it’s doing creative work, writing content, giving expert advice, and taking over the high-level skilled jobs with things such as AI generated photos, videos, content, search results, and more.

You can even train an AI version of yourself to do much of your coaching for you.

It makes you wonder if at some point, AI won’t need to you train it anymore and experts, coaches, and teachers will be completely replaced with AI.

In this episode, Chase Neely talks about the rapidly changing marketplace and how AI has already impacted online businesses. Then, he explains what you must do in order to keep yourself relevant, be competitive in your niche, and still be able to carve out a 7 figure income with your online business despite the A.I. takeover.

About Chase Neely: Chase is the Co-Founder and President of Leverage Brands. By trade and training, Chase is an intellectual property attorney who helps grammy award winning songwriters, producers, New York Times bestselling authors, and other creative professionals at the intersection between their business and their art.
