SPI 951: The Legal Risks of Running a Business and How to Protect Yourself Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

#951 When I took over SPI, Pat told me that one of the secrets to his success was staying curious. And that's actually a great approach to entrepreneurship! With "play" as my word of the year for 2026, curiosity keeps things interesting. But it does a lot more than that when you use it to fuel business experimentation. Like, $500,000 more, as you'll hear in today's awesome session with Sam Vander Wielen! She's built an incredible brand around her legal expertise and is now the go-to resource for entrepreneurs looking to protect their businesses. Sam not only shares essential insights on setting up your business for legal peace of mind, but also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how webinars are transforming her launches! You definitely don't want to miss this one if you're anything like me. Because y'all, someone was already threatening to sue us within the first two months of me buying SPI! So listen in to avoid these risks yourself! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session951.

Can I Earn More with Flash Sales and Discounts? Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

Al #019 If you lean into having fun running your business, you'll see results. That's why "playful" has been my word of the year for 2026. And maybe one of the best examples of how I've applied this mindset is my Christmas in July sale. While this is something I do every year over on LizWilcox.com, I knew I wanted to try something new and different this time around. And it all started with a waitlist, which is the part people ask me about the most. If you listen in on today's session, you'll hear how limiting access to this flash sale actually helped me reach my goals faster. In fact, the bulk of the purchases I was looking for came in before the sale itself even went live! So join me for this episode to get in on the fun and make more sales. And please keep sending your business questions in at SpeakPipe.com/LizWilcox! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/al019.

SPI 950: How to Run a $10K+ Sold-Out Group Coaching Program Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

#950 Right now, you likely have the smallest audience you'll ever have. And while I hope you're constantly getting more followers, ask yourself: Why are you starting your business with a product that needs lots of customers to be successful? Run the numbers. Unless you're getting thousands of sales, a $10 ebook or $50 course won't change your life. That's why you have to listen in on today's incredible session with my friend John Meese! No joke. If you're tired of working for scraps despite being an expert with plenty of value to offer, you need to get into group coaching! John will tell you all about it and hook you up with amazing strategies to have you booked and busy fast! And the best part is you don't need a big audience to get going. In fact, John's clients frequently earn over $10K with only five students enrolled in their programs. Tune in to start! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session950.

Is the SPI Community Worth It? (Welcome to Monday Members!) Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

Most entrepreneurship advice assumes you already have clarity around what you want to pursue. But that's not the starting point for most people. Like many, you might get stuck before you even find a business idea that excites you. That's why I knew I had to talk to Ryan Soper-Powell as soon as possible. And it turns out that this conversation is the perfect way to kick off my new Monday Members series! You see, Ryan is debating whether the SPI Community is worth it for him anymore. His business isn't where he wants it to be, despite being in mastermind groups for years and building valuable connections. And I'm not here to change his mind! Ryan and I have an open and honest chat about what is and isn't working for him. We dive into his business and what SPI can do to support him, and come up with some valuable ideas. If you've been spinning your wheels without getting anywhere, tune in! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/mm001.

How Do I Re-Engage My Cold Subscribers? Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

AL #018 Re-engaging cold subscribers is super doable! Today, I'll share a 14-day strategy to help you do just that. But here's the thing. Building an engaged email list starts with not being afraid to lose subscribers who aren't meant for your business! So if you've been struggling with cold leads, listen in on this AskLiz session for the fix! To answer a question from Nadalie Bardo of YourPinCoach.com, the tactic I'll share today is all about being upfront to re-engage the people who actually want to stick around with you. It's also a great way to get a bunch of unsubscribes! That's right. We're letting some people go today. If you tune in, you'll learn why that helps your brand level up!

How Do I Use Videos in My Newsletter? Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

AL #017 There's a fear among email marketers that adding videos to newsletters hurts deliverability. While there's some truth to that, we still have powerful workarounds at our disposal. If anything, videos can enhance your reach and engagement when used the right way! In today's AskLiz session, I'll walk you through the best practices that can help your emails and videos get delivered and seen. To make it easy, I'll cover the two most important metrics you need to consider before sending anything out. In fact, if you build your newsletter around these two factors, you don't need to worry about any of the itty-bitty rules you might be breaking in the deliverability realm. You'll still make it to people's inboxes because you're giving Google, Yahoo, and the lot exactly what they want! So join me for this session to find out more, and please continue sending in your business questions at SpeakPipe.com/LizWilcox! Show notes at SmartPassiveIncome.com/al017.

SPI 948: The Best and Worst Reactions to the SPI Sale with Pat and Matt Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

#948 Big business moves are scary. Something like, say, taking over a brand synonymous with one of online entrepreneurship's greatest pioneers might seem risky. But here's the thing. Even if you never rock the boat, change is still coming. The most dangerous position is assuming you can do your thing forever without the inevitable shifts affecting you! So how do you stay ahead of the curve and get the timing right on big opportunities? Today, I sit down with Pat and Matt to discuss this as we look back at some of the biggest moves of our lives. Of course, with the strongest reactions to the SPI sale having come in, we also dive into the positive and negative feedback we've received. And let me tell you, neither one of us knew what to expect going into the big announcement! But now it's time to extract and share the lessons we've learned!

Can I Launch My First Product with a Tiny Audience? Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

AL #016 I'm always asked about how I launched my very first digital product when I was still living in an RV. In fact, I didn't even have an internet connection back then! So how the heck did a travel blogger who hadn't traveled yet win big with a book release for an audience of three hundred people? First, shout-out to Lowe's for having the best free Wi-Fi in their parking lots! At the time, I couldn't have launched anything without figuring out how to work on the margins of life. So listen in on today's AskLiz session and let me take you back to 2017 for a look at my first steps and sales as an online entrepreneur! I'll share why I leaned into collaboration from the start and how the opportunities that came as a result were complete game-changers for my business! Tune in and enjoy!
