What kind of team do you need to take your business to 7-figures per year or more? Most coaches and course creators we speak to seem to hit a plateau once they get to 6-figures. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that they need a BIGGER (and better) team to have a more significant impact. So, they go out and hire a friend or family member or even people from their community...only to find out that NONE of those people are qualified for the positions! This leads to disputes, firings, and sometimes even the destruction of relationships - all because you didn’t take responsibility for hiring the RIGHT people for the job. Does any or ALL of this sound familiar? In this episode, I’m going to share the real struggle we had in hiring and training a team and how we ultimately failed TWICE before finally getting it “right.” I’ll also show you our current process for hiring our team members and how we train them in a mostly “hands-off” way.

Instead of worrying about growing an email list, what if you focused your efforts on getting ACTUAL CUSTOMERS buying your courses every day? Most coaches and course creators think they need to spend months, if not YEARS, "growing an audience" before they can make an offer. So they go out and spend all their time creating content and posting on social media, hoping that people will sign up for their freebie. But THEN what? Just because someone gives you their email address doesn't mean they're a qualified lead who will eventually buy your course or coaching program in the future. In fact, most DON'T. In today's episode of 'The Wealthy Course Creator Show', I'll share with you a simple technique to STOP giving away free stuff and start boosting your conversion rate.

Are you TERRIFIED of letting go of control? One common habit separates successful entrepreneurs from those who struggle and flatline: Their ability to LET GO of control, delegate, and claim back their time. Most entrepreneurs know that if they want to EVER cross that million-dollar mark in their business, they aren't going to be able to do it alone. Yet, many still work LONGER hours, max themselves out, and operate with an "it's just faster if I do it" mentality. This ultimately sabotages their revenue, their impact, and their ultimate SUCCESS. If any of this sounds familiar to you... Well, you're in luck! In this week's episode of 'The Wealthy Course Creator Show,' Jill will be digging into identifying the blocks that stop you from letting go of CONTROL.

What if there was a formula you could use to raise the price of your online course or coaching offer, without getting ANY pushback from your audience? Deep down, most coaches and course creators know they are struggling because they DON'T charge enough for their services.

In today's episode of ‘The Wealthy Course Creator Show’, Josh is going to show you how to adjust and reposition any course or coaching program into a set of 3 products that when offered, can potentially lead to a four-fold increase in profit.
