Courtney Elmer | PodLaunchHQ.com
This isn’t another “share great content and stay consistent” podcast about podcasting. We’re breaking down 15,000+ hours of study into what top hosts do differently to create bingeworthy podcasts that convert. Hosted by Forbes- and Rolling Stone-featured podcast psychology expert and Webby Awards judge Courtney Elmer—who’s helped over 70+ hosts launch Top 100 shows—you’ll get the tools and strategies other shows won’t dare to share. Expect unfiltered coaching, behind-the-scenes breakdowns, and the kind of “why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?!” advice to help you build a podcast your future clients can’t stop bingeing (and buying from). So if you’re ready to break out of “less-than-200-download-per-episode” jail and stop settling for downloads that don’t reflect your effort—or you want to launch a podcast that positions you as an authority in your niche and drives real revenue—welcome to the podcast that’s about to change the game for you.

What Does it (Really) Mean to Run Your Business on Autopilot?
Did you start your online business with the dream of being your own boss, only to wake up one day and realize you’re working harder now than ever before?If you answered yes, chances are you’re an overworked entrepreneur who’s lacking one of the four key systems needed to build a business that runs on autopilot… not one that runs you. Time, energy, and effort are limited resources, so when you depend solely on these to scale a business, you cap your income, influence, and impact.But true visionary leaders operate differently, because they know that inconsistent lead flow and revenue isn’t a reflection of your messaging, your expertise, or your skillset — it’s a problem that goes much deeper, and (lucky for you) is a simple fix. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH: Why most people don’t understand what the word “growth” really means The REAL reason your business growth has plateaued (HINT: it’s not the ‘fear of failure’ or ‘fear of success') The number one thing you need to run a successful business (that most entrepreneurs aren’t doing)PLUS: the (hard) question you’ll need to ask yourself + answer if you want to experience more freedom in your life and business Episode Links:Connect with Dr. Christine Li: Website | Instagram -Support the showLiked this episode?
