Discover Why Digital Courses Are Your Path to Freedom in Today's Economy

Struggling to break free from the 9-to-5 grind and build a business that fits your life? This episode is your permission slip to finally take the leap! 🚀

In this heart-to-heart conversation, I get vulnerable (yes, there are actual tears!) about my own journey from corporate burnout to digital course success. My mentor Amy Porterfield joins me to share why NOW is the absolute best time to create a digital course – even in uncertain economic times. We dive deep into why waiting costs you more than starting, how to let go of your “security blanket,” and the exact business model that allows you to work less while making more.

If you've been sitting on a course idea but aren't sure if it's “the right time,” this episode will give you the clarity and courage to finally take action. Amy shares the exact same advice that helped me build my multi-six-figure business (and quit my soul-crushing corporate job).

“My secret to success is that I created something and I continue to make it better and scale it and dive into it and learn about our audience and grow our audience and market it again. I've marketed the same thing for years. It's no mistake I have a multimillion dollar business because I stayed with one thing to grow it.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why digital courses are recession-proof and actually thrive during economic uncertainty
  • Learn the costly mistake of waiting too long to launch your course (and why someone else is already creating it)
  • Uncover the “false security” myth keeping you trapped in your 9-to-5
  • Explore how to escape the time-for-money trap with a scalable digital product
  • Get Amy's exact step-by-step framework for validating, creating and selling your first digital course

Grab your favorite coffee and settle in for this emotional, transformative episode – you'll want to take notes for this one! ☕️
