What If the Advice That Nearly Broke You Was Exactly What You Needed?

Sometimes the worst advice teaches you more than the best advice ever could. 🚀

I made $2,000 on my first launch and completely quit. Went back to my day job. That might've been the dumbest decision I ever made. But here's the twist – the advice that led me to quit, the advice that nearly broke me, and the advice I absolutely hated hearing ended up being the same advice that helped me build a seven-figure business.

In this episode, I'm breaking down three pieces of terrible (and terribly necessary) business advice I received as a struggling course creator. The kind of advice that made me want to throw my laptop across the room. The kind that kept me crying in every coaching call. And the kind that eventually transformed everything.

Because here's what nobody tells you about building an online course business: sometimes the advice that sounds the most motivating is actually destroying your progress. And sometimes the advice that makes you angry or uncomfortable is exactly what will set you free.

“There are really only three categories of activities that will drive revenue in your business. Getting more people onto your email list, nurturing your email list, and selling to your list. That's it. Three things, not 47 things.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

• Discover why “hustle culture” advice nearly destroyed my business (and what actually creates sustainable success for online course creators)
• Learn the three strategic activities that drive real revenue – and why everything else is just busy work keeping you stuck
• Understand why “you're exactly where you need to be” might be the most frustrating yet valuable truth about scaling your coaching business
• Find out why constantly switching strategies is costing you more than failed launches ever could
• Get the simple data tracking method that will save you years of guessing and optimize your Meta ads results faster

Grab your favorite beverage and settle in – this one's packed with hard-won wisdom that could save you years of struggle. ☕️
