Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the perfect day to slow down, and give thanks for everything in our lives.

We can all agree that things have been chaotic lately, from politics, to social movements, to a global pandemic...it’s no surprise that we are all collectively stressed out!

44: How SOPs Can Help You Streamline Your Daily Operations with Theresa Truong Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

As your business grows, you will likely find that you can’t tackle it all alone anymore. As the CEO of your business, sometimes you need to start thinking about hiring help and delegating.

This not only lightens your workload, but it can also free up more of your time to do the things you do best in your business and the things that make you money!

Theresa Truong is an Operations Coachsultant™ and Client Experience extraordinaire with a knack for all things “left-brained”, including organizing, strategizing, and systemizing, making her an ideal fit for her “right-brained” creative CEO clients.

Through her 18+ years experience, Theresa works with creative consultants and strategists to streamline and systemize their online operations to run the right way with or without their direct involvement.

Theresa wanted the flexibility to spend time with her family, and the freedom to serve in her passion: creating, designing and refining systems for other types of businesses.

Tune in as Theresa shares her operations expertise and how SOPs can transform your day-to-day operations and save you (and your team) so much time and effort.

43: How to Make $10k in 5 Days by Pre-selling Your Signature Program Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

Ready to make some real money with your signature program in 5 days? It is possible!

In this episode of the Empowered Business podcast, I am sharing a presentation I did for the Online Business Playground Summit. In this presentation, I explained how you can pre-sell your signature program using nothing but a Google Doc.

With this method, it is totally possible to make $10k in just 5 days with one to three hours of work.

Your signature program can include online courses, group coaching, and memberships and they can all be sold before you even create them.

Why would you pre-sell them? Pre-selling has many benefits that will help you ensure the success of your program before you even make it. It validates your business idea, you’ll get paid before you do the work, you can build it alongside your students and receive their valuable feedback, and it helps you refine your marketing message. It also gives you testimonials and reviews which will build up your credibility.

This is truly the best way to create and sell a signature program. Your time and work are valuable, and pre-selling is a way to ensure it pays off.

In this episode, you’ll learn more about what a signature program is, how to price it, the importance of pre-selling, and the pre-selling strategy I swear by to ensure the success of my business products. You’ll also learn about my brand new mastermind that you can think of as your digital product MBA.

40: Lessons Learned From My “Failed” Launch Oct 21, 2021

Show notes

As entrepreneurs, something we have to get used to, even though we may not want to, is failure.

Of course we all want nothing but success in our business, but there are bound to be bumps along the road at some point.

I am no exception to that.

Today I am sharing my story of what some would call a “failed launch”. I am going into detail about how I promoted it, what my goals were, what I spent, where I spent, and what my bottom line was.

I didn’t reach my goals with this launch. I was pretty far off, to be honest. However, I didn’t let this defeat me. I took this experience and learned from it. I am adjusting my strategy and expectations going forward so that I can achieve greater success during my next launch.

“Failure” is unavoidable. It is bound to happen at one time or another, but what you do with that failure is all that matters. Do you let it discourage you or do you flourish because of it?

There is no linear path to success in online business. It's all about failing fast and picking yourself up and trying new things.

Tune in to hear how I am doing exactly that!
