The Truth About Live Launches Nobody's Talking About 🤫

Ever feel like your launches are more drama than dollars? 🎭

Let's get real – throwing everything at the wall and praying something sticks is NOT a business strategy. Yet here we are, watching course creators burn out trying to make live launches their forever plan.

Spoiler alert: If you're stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle of live launching, you're probably doing it wrong. But don't worry, I'm about to spill the tea on how to fix it. 🫖

“The live launch model was never meant to be your forever strategy – it's actually designed to be a launching pad, not your final destination.”

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why your launches feel more like a rollercoaster than a reliable business
  • Learn the secret “Energy-Money Matrix” that successful course creators use
  • Uncover the hidden reason your profit margins might be shrinking
  • Find out exactly what numbers you should be tracking (hint: it's not what you think)
  • Get the truth about when to reinvest your launch money (and when to keep your wallet closed)

Grab your favorite beverage, find a cozy spot, and let's dive into why your launches might be working against you – and exactly how to fix that!

💚💚💚
