In this episode, we're diving into the lessons I've learned after two years of running an evergreen group coaching program. 

But if you’re brand new to creating a group coaching program or course, try just taking ONE of these ideas and applying it. Don’t let perfectionism hold you back!

You’ll hear…

1. Why having structured pre-recorded lesson content made such a difference for me, even while running a live group coaching program 
2. Why matching your offer to your niche is so crucial - there isn’t one right way to grow your business!
3. Ideas on how to create a testimonial systems (so that you don’t go to sell your program again without any proof that it works!)
4. Why and how to take weeks off from your program (instead of running 55 out of 56 weeks like I did for 2 years!!)
5. How to create an onboarding system to help your clients get started (and avoid buyers remorse)

Are you working really hard in your online business, but not making the money you want? You may know you have the expertise, but you're not sure how to make your program a repeatable or customizable process for your clients. Maybe your offers or programs have been feeling heavy recently or not aligned with your vision. This is all too common amongst entrepreneurs!

You may even already have an "ideal client" or a clear concept of the type of people you serve in your business, but haven't gotten granular about the type of problem you solve. This is where offer journey design comes in!

In this episode, Lauren discusses her recent breakthrough flying home after a live coaching conference in California. She shares the 3 key components of how to incorporate offer journey design into your business, so you can make more money, feel more confident selling, and get crystal clear on what to include in your programs. The result? Amazing client success stories and an aligned online business where you can do more of what you love and less of what you don't!

If you’re like many entrepreneurs who are also moms, you might have started your business with the intention of having more flexibility in your work week, so you can spend more time with your family.  If you push harder and hustle more, you'll eventually get more freedom to spend more time with them...right?

She is a fierce advocate for “anti-hustle entrepreneurship” and a super-fan of simplicity, systems, and structures. Amy is on a mission to help coaches reimagine entrepreneurship by opting out of "hustle-culture" and leaning into more rest, play, and joy in business and in life.

If you enjoy systems and streamlining as much as I do, you will love this episode! Amy shares her own experience of unsubscribing from the prevalent business hustle culture when it got in the way of her family life. She offers amazingly simple and practical time-saving strategies you can use to scale your business and implement right away, all without sacrificing your free time, health or relationships.

In this episode, I want to show you how to create a new system or structure in your business when you don’t have the time to do it.

Here’s the challenge. Overstretched entrepreneurs may know they need more structure and systems in their business to keep up with day to day demands- like adding a new project management tool, hiring someone new or setting up a new process- but it sounds too time consuming, so they put it off.

Has that ever happened to you?

The issue with this is that they often end up focusing on the “fun” stuff- more sales, more clients, more revenue… But this won’t solve the problem, it will only MAGNIFY it.

Entrepreneurs with freedom of time know that if they create the structure now, it will pay dividends later and that it doesn’t have to be as time consuming as we might think.

In today’s episode, we’ll dive into how to make setting up your next system faster and easier, with 5 easy to implement ideas to get you started!

In this episode, we’ll dive into Backwards Design - what it is and how to use it to make the most of your work hours. This episode is especially perfect to listen to at the end of the month or quarter so you know exactly where to focus your energy on next.
