Building a 7+ Figure Coaching Business | Emily Williams

Today’s episode features Emily Williams from I Heart My Life. Emily was going down a path that so many others do — following a typical career path and heading to graduate school. She was on her way but never made it. Literally. Emily just turned the car around with no real plan. It took a few years working low-paying jobs but she finally decided to bet on herself. In 2014, Emily started a business even though she was $120k in debt after moving to London. What happened next though was improbable, to say the least. Emily would go from making $442 in her first month of business to over $1 Million within the first 18 months. Now Emily has her own book, runs a successful coaching business on several fronts (master classes, group programs, 1:1 consulting, VIP day trips, etc), and even hosts a podcast.

How to Level Up in Your Career

In this episode, Cody interviews Justin on how he has navigated corporate moves both internally and externally. We’ll talk about how you can find those better opportunities from an inbound and outbound method. These can be within your current company or swapping companies altogether. A big piece of this is filtering and comparing opportunities. In many jobs, the compensation isn’t just one simple number. You need to think about base pay, variable, equity, 401k, health insurance, etc, etc. No need to worry though, the guys break this all down in a very simple systematic way. There will also be tactical tips such as how to set up your LinkedIn so that you’re not missing great opportunities. We hope this helps you land that new role or position to increase your happiness and your bank account!

The Wealth of Connection | Vincent Pugliese

Today’s episode features Vincent Pugliese, author of The Wealth of Connection. But really when I think of Vincent, I think of a master networker and amazing storyteller.
