Why a quiet season might be your biggest opportunity yet

Ready to discover why your “sluggish summer” isn't necessarily a red flag? 🚀

I'm pulling back the curtain on why elections, holidays, and summer hijack your sales – and more importantly, what most course creators do wrong when their numbers dip that actually makes their next launch worse, not better.

Here's the truth that might surprise you: while everyone else is hitting the panic button and pausing their promotions, you could be using this exact window to build something that makes your next launch your biggest one yet. The key is knowing whether you're dealing with a seasonal slowdown or a market shift that requires a completely different strategy.

I recently had a client's evergreen funnel hit zero sales for one week – sandwiched between two record-breaking weeks. Sound familiar? If you're wondering whether to keep your ads running during election season, questioning why your evergreen funnel seems to be sliding downhill, or feeling like your audience has completely ghosted you, this episode is your roadmap.

“Seasonal slumps are signals, not stop signs. Sometimes they're telling you to pause and refine. Other times they're handing you the exact window you need to build something better.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode: 

  • Decode whether your sales dip is seasonal or a permanent market shift
  • Discover why pausing your ads during slow periods actually hurts your next launch
  • Learn the exact data points to track so you're making decisions based on numbers, not feelings
  • Uncover the hidden opportunities in summer slumps that smart marketers use to scale

Grab your favorite coffee and let's turn this “slow season” into your secret weapon! ☕️
