When I first got started my own business, I believed million dollar courses were only for the “famous” or “fancy” people.
I used to daydream about what kind of magic someone had to sprinkle on their course to turn it into a million dollar money machine.
I knew it was possible because others were able to do it. But I had no idea HOW they pulled it off.
It felt like they knew something I d...
True or false:
Is the difference between a failed course and a million dollar course comes down to things like audience size or ad spend?
In my experience, this is false - although many people would think this is the case.
💡 That’s why in this week’s podcast episode, I’m spilling all the juicy tea on exactly The Real Reason Your Course Isn't Selling (It's Not What You Think).
In all honesty, I'v...
For a long time, I thought the answer to growing my business was doing more.
I kept adding more strategies, longer hours, bigger to-do lists - and wondering why nothing was changing.
And then I realized that the biggest leaps I made didn't come from adding anything. They came from letting go.
In this week's episode of Scale With Success® The Podcast, I'm sharing three beliefs I had to quit on my way to building an 8-figure...
Launch coaches have been telling course creators the same thing year after year:
Just take your live launch content, drop it into an evergreen funnel, and let it run.
It sounds logical. It's also completely wrong.
This week's episode breaks down exactly why launch content fails inside an evergreen funnel - and why no amount of tweaking will fix a strategy that was never designed for evergreen in the first place.
I...
Have you ever wondered how an online course business can STOP launching and go from $30k to $650k in revenue in just 8 months?
Or jump from $70k to $500k in a year? $50k to $400k?
These are just a few real-life results that our clients have experienced once they jumped off the launch roller coaster and started selling their course with an automated system.
But the truth is, not all paths to “evergreen&rdq...
One course. One funnel. One year. $1M in revenue.
Is that REALLY possible?
➡️ That’s exactly what I’m going to break down in this week’s podcast episode, all about How To Make $1M in One Year From Selling Your Online Course.
Early on in my business journey I’d never even heard of anyone making over $1M in one year from selling their online course.
It seemed like a wild idea at the time, but it st...
A lot of course creators are told launching is the fastest way to grow their business.
I was told that, too. 🙄
But what I eventually learned the hard way…
…is that launching can provide a temporary boost in revenue, but it doesn’t lead to sustainable growth - it works directly against it.
In fact, it wasn’t until I stopped launching and started selling my course with an evergreen model that I...
So, your evergreen course isn’t selling…
And the frustrating part?
You KNOW your course can help people, but your sales still feel unpredictable…no matter how much effort you put into promoting it.
You’re getting your course in front of people.
But conversions still aren’t where they should be.
Here are 3 reasons why your course isn’t selling right now.
And I get it…w...
I wish I could tell you that when I FIRST switched to selling my course on autopilot…everything just worked.
It didn’t.
I made a few costly mistakes early on - and they slowed down my results more than I expected.
💡 That’s exactly why I recorded week’s podcast episode
These are the 3 mistakes that blocked my evergreen sales.
And these weren’t small missteps…
They were the ki...
Early on in my business journey, I remember looking at other 7 and 8-figure course creators and thinking: they must be doing everything perfectly…
I assumed they hit every monthly revenue goal, never made costly mistakes, and were fearless in every step they took.
It was after I made my first million in course revenue that I realized that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Running a business - and more specif...
You’ve heard me talk a lot about quitting launches when it comes to your online course.
After all, you love the idea of running your online course business in a way that provides you with consistent sales, predictable revenue, and does NOT include riding the launch rollercoaster.
But this one thought creeps in and seems to stop you every time: “What if I switch to an evergreen method… and it flops?”
Have you ever noticed how one small setback in your business can spiral into something much bigger?
A slow sales week becomes ➡️ “Maybe this isn’t working.”
A team mistake turns into ➡️ “Why does this always happen to me?”
A rude comment in passing ➡️ creates days of second-guessing yourself.
The shift is subtle, happens fast, and if you’re not paying attention - it can quickly drain yo...
I want to ask you something… 👀
When you hear someone say they made a million dollars selling one course through one automated funnel, what’s your first thought?
Was it something along the lines of:
📍 That must’ve taken a huge team.
📍 They probably spent a fortune on ads.
📍 Their course must be flawless.
Or maybe it was a deeper reaction:
📍 That’s not possible for me.
First of all, I wan...
Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right within your online course business? Down to details big and small, such as…
Posting consistently, tweaking your funnel, launching again, and investing in program after program.
You’re crushing your to-do list and taking significant steps forward. So why on Earth does your revenue refuse to move?
💭 Well, it may just boil down to one of these top...
When I first started selling courses, I followed a lot of people who seemed to be creating new offers constantly.
A new course here. A new program there. It seemed like they had a brand new offer every few weeks.
Meanwhile, I was focused on selling ONE course and while it was working… it certainly wasn’t exploding. And when I logged onto socials to see someone roll out another shiny new offer, I felt a knot in my...
So… you finally did the thing. 👀
You stopped launching your course, built an evergreen funnel, and officially turned it on.
At first, it probably felt exciting. Maybe you even made a few course sales.
But now? That initial excitement has dwindled… and so has your revenue.
And to make it even more frustrating, you see other people successfully selling courses on autopilot about every topic under the ...
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 &...
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...
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...
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 accompl...
