The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss

Mariah Coz is the founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar education company, mariahcoz.com. Mariah is the creator of the Empowering Enrollment Experience for enrolling high ticket coaching clients year-round on evergreen, without ever doing a sales call.

She's obsessed with making sure her team, clients and community are living their unique First Class Life. "I sometimes wonder, I don't know if I'll really be able to do what others do because of my mental illness". - Mariah Coz This Week on the Get Paid Podcast: Mariah figured this out and got off the hamster wheel that is social media. Sales calls, schmales calls. How one program you're offering might cannibalize your high-ticket program. Do high-ticket offers and social impact happen at the same time? Two big mistakes I was making when I started the Lead Lab. How much content and support you need to add to 10x your course's price. Which ads are working best for Mariah. Flipping limitations, like mental health issues, into positive constraints. Growing from 4 to 19 full-time employees and her org chart. What Mariah looks for in her employees, and what her company offers them—and how her fears influence her hiring process.
