Selling via a webinar can be a powerful strategy when launching or promoting one of your online courses or memberships (or heck, even coaching spots!) But HOW you run your webinar can be the difference between a fun live training and a profitable one. Today I want to share with you 4 keys to running profitable webinar, one in which your attendees get massive up front value and you convert more of them into buyers!

Overwhelm is the problem of our day. Too much information is overwhelming. Too much conflicting information is overwhelming. On top of that, our lives are too busy to take the time to comb through and make sense of it all even if we could! In every niche there is overwhelm and that means smart people (like you) can create a business opportunity by simplifying the topic and helping people get results faster. You don’t have to be the “expert” on the subject - you just need to help simplify things for the beginner and give them clarity and a path forward. In today's episode I want to give you a 3 step process you can start TODAY to help turn your audience's overwhelm into an opportunity to start or grow your business!

Should you use YouTube or Facebook as the primary tool to grow your business? I say, why not use both?! They are each totally different animals with different strengths and weaknesses - but when harnessed together you can create an audience building, business growing machine! Today I'm giving you a simple 4 step strategy you can use to leverage both of these powerful tools to grow your business and put more money in your pocket!

My first course launched back in 2010 to the sad tune of about $170. My most recent course launch did over $170,000. It's safe to say I've gotten a lot better at this thing. But in thinking back to that original online course that started it all for me I can identify three critical mistakes I made that seriously hampered my revenue. Granted I had a much smaller audience back then, but even so I could have easily made more money had I avoided these three mistakes - and so can you with you first (or tenth!) online course. Let's take a time machine back almost 10 years ago and learn from Graham's stupidity and ignorance

Today I’m going to give you a path way to earning different (and better) types of income. This pathway will help you not only earn more money but work less as well. One of my favorite books of all time is Robert Kiyosaki’s follow up to Rich Dad Poor Dad - a book called The Cashflow Quadrant. The Cashflow Quadrant shows how there are really only 4 ways we can make money. Two of them are taxed at the highest rates and require the most effort. The other two ways are taxed the least and require far less effort. These are the two ways I try to make a living and I would encourage you to do the same as well.

Smartphones are like fire: when controlled they can provide heat and help you cook a meal - but when they get out of control they can burn your entire life to the ground. We used to leave our work at the office or at our place of business. Now it not only follows us home, but it follows in the bathroom, on our lunch break, and in our car while we commute. This “always on” mode is slowly but surely burning us out as we are never truly free from our work. Today I want to share with you: - 4 ways that your phone is keeping you chained to your work - 3 steps to free yourself from your phone - and finally 3 benefits from being off your phone more. Let's dive in!

When it comes to selling your stuff, the words you use matter. And while there are a million ways to write effective sales copy, I've found that underneath every effective sales pitch (or page or email or Instagram post) are three key steps. Today I'm going to walk you through each of these 3 steps so you can begin incorporating them into your sales messaging and start generating more revenue!

When you run a business, whether you know it or not or verbalize it or not, you are putting something and someone first. There is a pecking order or a list of priorities. It could be the shareholders, you as the CEO, or just generally profit at any cost. This leads to underpaying employees, making cheaper goods that don’t last, and a whole host of other awful things. But what would businesses look like if they were more selfless? I've discovered that if you become others focused instead of self focused in your business, you gain four tremendous benefits.

Is it better to launch your business without a product or to build the product first and then launch? I have two friends who have approached their online businesses two different ways and in today’s video I break down which one is more strategic and why. If you’ve ever been unsure about the best way to start your business (product or content first) this will help!
