How a “Failed” Launch Led to a Half-Million Dollar Breakthrough
A mindset coach made $500,000 in a single launch with a 16x return on ad spend – but his first launch barely converted and most people would have called it a complete failure 🚀
What happened in the 14 months between that failed launch and the half-million dollar breakthrough is exactly what I'm sharing today. This isn't the “30 days to six figures” story that sells well on social media – it's the truth about what building a scalable online course business actually looks like.
I'm taking you behind the scenes of a launch that transformed a struggling $10K launch into a $501,395 breakthrough using Facebook ads and strategic funnels. You'll discover the exact two-phase strategy that made this possible and why that first “failed” launch was actually the foundation for everything that came after.
Most importantly, you'll realize that the gap between where you are now and where you want to be isn't necessarily as wide as you think. It's not about having special talent or secret knowledge – it's about understanding a framework that works and having the courage to trust the process.
“The moment you stop seeing your launches as make or break events that have any authority over your self-esteem, that's when you start to see them as valuable data collection. And then your next breakthrough is just around the corner.” ✨
