Cubicle to CEO

Today I want to introduce you to Aaminah Amin, one of our Paid to Create students who had a $10K launch on her course within a couple weeks of completing the challenge, and with less than 3000 followers!If you’re new to our world, the Paid to Create Challenge is a bootcamp style experience where we help first time course creators turn the idea in their head into a course they can pre-sell (meaning you don’t need pre recorded lessons, a website, or sales page). We help you enroll paying students into your course within just 3 days. Sounds like a big promise, but we have helped over 400 people do exactly that. Aaminah is proof that the method works, so if you’re interested in getting your course out into the world, check out www.ellenyin.com/paidtocreate to hear about our upcoming challenge kicking off January 24th. Aside from yielding impressive results from the Paid to Create Challenge, Aaminah is a financial coach who helps empower women of color to take control of their finances. In the last 2 and a half years, she has paid off 30,000 pounds in debt, started 3 businesses, created 7 streams of income, and is on track to retire in her 40’s - super impressive right? Through her course she has helped her students save and invest over $200,000. This is such a ripple effect that started with Aaminah believing in herself and deciding to go for it and create her first course, despite all the mental blocks she faced.

Happy New Year friends and welcome to the first episode of 2022! I could not think of a better guest to start this year off with than my friend, Tyler J. McCall. I really believe this episode is the most transparent and raw episode on this show so far. We touch on all the things in online business that often get swept under the rug, like burnout, feeling inadequate as a leader, and what it looks like when you step away from your online presence. Tyler is the founder of onlinebusinessowner.com and host of the online business show podcast. Since 2015, he has helped entrepreneurs build thriving online businesses through his online programs, services, and events. In this episode, we are talking about how he was able to take an unplanned 6-month sabbatical from work because of the burnout he was experiencing. We will be looking at how this came to be, how his business was able to sustain itself without the CEO, and why it’s so important to have a business reserve.

Real talk: Why were we never taught how to buy a properly fitting bra? I know I can’t be the only one who struggles with this. Generations of women have been playing a guessing game and settling for uncomfortable products & outdated practices in an industry that - until recently - catered more toward appealing to men than serving women. This was the exact obstacle Heidi Zak, the co-founder and CEO of ThirdLove, had to overcome when she launched an innovative solution to normalize online bra shopping that skyrocketed ThirdLove to being the #1 digital bra brand among millenials.Today, we’re dissecting the case study of how ThirdLove acquired 1 million paying customers in just 3 years and which customer acquisition channels they’re doubling down on in 2022.Connect with Heidi: https://www.thirdlove.com Use code TL-CUBICLETOCEO to redeem a free pair of underwear!

We’re back with another inspiring $10K month case study with Cubicle to CEO member, Sarah Breshears.If you’re new to the podcast, Cubicle to CEO is my 12 month mentorship program where we help service providers, coaches, and consultants make their first $10,000 revenue month from a 1:1 service without a large following or posting every day. We’re on a mission to help 500 women achieve this financial milestone in their business journey, and so far dozens of our members have already gotten there. You can listen to all the past $10K month member case study episodes at ellenyin.com/halloffame.Sarah and her sister started their social media agency, Social Moguls, on Christmas Day of 2020 and have had explosive growth in less than a year. The month before joining Cubicle to CEO, Sarah’s agency made $955 total, but just 5 short months after implementing our Consistent Clients Cashflow System, she not only reached the $10K month milestone, but actually surpassed her goal and made $13 THOUSAND dollars! This kind of growth doesn’t just magically happen, it is strategically achieved with a proven system. Here’s what Sarah did. Connect with Sarah:@social.mogulsIf you enjoyed today's episode, please: Join our referral rewards program by signing up for our text notifications at ellenyin.com/superfan , and share your custom referral link with your biz besties to get them to sign up too!  Post a screenshot & key takeaway on your IG story and tag me @missellenyin & @cubicletoceo so I can repost you.

This episode is short and sweet as I share with you the questions I have been thinking on and journaling about the last couple months! I am pulling out the questions I have actually been asking myself, my peers, my team, and my students within my Cubicle to CEO membership, and revealing the insights I have discovered along the way. I have brought together these questions to provide you with high quality prompts you can use to critically think about in your business and personal life as we head into 2022. I believe our personal growth is the ceiling for our professional growth, so if we aren’t evolving as people, our businesses will remain stagnant as well. These questions will help you grow as an entrepreneur, leader, and person, so take out your notebook and press play to set yourself up for success in 2022 and beyond!Links for you! @missellenyin https://ellenyin.com/getclients Ellen's book recommendation: Clockwork by Mike Michalowicz Buy "Clockwork" here: https://amzn.to/3Errqa4 If you enjoyed today's episode, please: Join our referral rewards program by signing up for our text notifications at ellenyin.com/superfan , and share your custom referral link with your biz besties to get them to sign up too!  Post a screenshot & key takeaway on your IG story and tag me @missellenyin & @cubicletoceo so I can repost you.

This week’s episode is the first of its kind on the Cubicle to CEO Podcast! We are bringing you our very first LIVE podcast recording from an event we had with Upper Left Ladies a couple weeks ago at the beautiful Vessel Society in Portland Oregon. My friend Jyssica Yelas, co-founder of Upper Left Ladies, and I wanted to share our conversation about how her breakeven event led to a 300% increase in organic reach and countless brand partnerships! We see this episode as a case study within a case study since we recorded this in front of an audience, and were able to have them be part of the conversation as well. This event in and of itself was an opportunity to showcase the value of putting on live events beyond short-term profits by seeing all of the attendees expanding their networks and meeting other female entrepreneurs they can relate with. Q&A: 42:55 - Where does Jyss see Upper Left Ladies in 5 year?  Ashlyn @ashbeanpdxmktg 43:49 - Is there anything Jyss is excited to start in 2022? Sarah @stylewebsites 44:48 - What's a partnership that stands out as a really good example or was surprising? Brittany @rakozcreative 46:30 - Who is yours ideal Upper Left Ladies community member? Cathy @yourvirtualcathy 47:26 - How does Upper Left Ladies incorporate the woo into their business? Desiree @dez.blackhoneywellness 49:56 - How do Jyss and Ellen show up as leaders when tackling something they have never done before?

You’ve heard me share my free masterclass in almost every episode of the podcast, but today’s guest is proof that watching this free training can lead to MASSIVE results. Kat Araujo started her branding agency, Afternoon Culture, in 2018, and despite having reached $10K months already, she was struggling to scale beyond that.She stumbled across my free masterclass, understandably skeptical of how much value a free training could truly provide, but decided to give it a shot since she had nothing to lose.After watching my masterclass and implementing the lessons we cover in that single hour, Kat quickly doubled her business revenue to consistent $20,000 months. These were her results from literally just my FREE masterclass, not even my paid programs. Today’s case study examines the revenue breakdown of her $20K months, how she went from being scared to charge her clients $3,000 to raising her minimum project rate to $5,000, and the biggest shifts from my free masterclass she applied to her business that doubled her monthly income. If you’re a service provider, consultant, or coach who wants to land consistent clients for your 1:1 service so you can scale to $10,000 revenue months and beyond, watching my free masterclass is the first step to get there. The Consistent Clients Cashflow System I cover in my masterclass doesn’t rely on you having a large following or posting every day to succeed.In fact, the majority of people who use our CCC system reach their first $10K month with less than 500 followers.To see if our specific method is a good fit for how you want to grow your service-based business, sign up to watch my free training and download my bonus $10K month workbook at www.ellenyin.com/getclients . It’s the best hour you’ll spend on your business today, I promise.Connect with Kat:  www.afternoonculture.com @afternoon.culture If you enjoyed today's episode, please: Join our referral rewards program by signing up for our text notifications at ellenyin.com/superfan , and share your custom referral link with your biz besties to get them to sign up too!  Post a screenshot & key takeaway on your IG story and tag me @missellenyin & @cubicletoceo so I can repost you.

I may as well have named this episode “How To Run A World Class Ambassador Program” because today’s guest basically gives you the blueprint to create a successful ambassador program people are clamoring to sign up for. Ali Kaminetsky graduated college in 2016 and moved to New York to start her job in retail, but quickly had a product idea she couldn’t shake. While “googling” for a lunchbox she could use to bring her daily lunches to work, she realized there were options for little kids and for men, but nothing for women who wanted to look and feel their best. It was clear that the traditional lunchbox needed a makeover, and from there, Modern Picnic was born in 2019!Since then, Modern Picnic - dubbed “not your average lunchbox” - has created impactful partnerships with brands like American Express and Martha Stuart, and been featured in huge publications like Vogue, The New York Times, The Today Show, and Harpers Bazaar. Today, Ali is breaking down the case study of how she and her team grew their ambassador program to 600 women who are responsible for 25% of Modern Picnic’s annual revenue - without paying a single cent in commission.Yup, this ambassador program breaks all the status quos.Get the secret sauce on how you can get hundreds of people to authentically share your brand and drive sales, without relying on money as the motivator. And a special gift just for our listeners: if you want to upgrade your lunchbox to a sleek and chic tote you’ll actually want to show off, browse the collection at modernpicnic.com and use the code CEO to save 10% on your purchase!Connect with Ali: www.modernpicnic.com Use code 'CEO' for 10% off!
