Coaching Week Converts Better Than Webinars...Here’s How To Do It

What if you could run one simple event that builds trust, delivers quick wins, and brings hundreds of new members into your program? I know it sounds too good to be true, but my friend Sarah Williams is here to share the exact formula! 

Sarah is the founder of Launch Your Box, and she’s mastered a strategy she calls Coaching Week. After adding over 1,000 members in just one launch using this framework, Sarah has perfected the art of turning warm leads into loyal members. And the best part is it’s not limited to subscription boxes - you can adapt this approach for your membership, group coaching program, or even your digital course.

Sarah pulls back the curtain on exactly how Coaching Week works, from structuring daily sessions to creating irresistible bonuses that drive sign-ups. If you’ve been struggling to get traction with your launches, or if you’re just ready for something fresh that actually works, this conversation will give you a scalable plan to implement right away.

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Quick Wins Build Trust Faster Than Webinars – Sarah reveals how to deliver tangible, fast result in the first 48 hours, which is the key to converting participants into paying members.

2️⃣ Structure Is Everything – Learn the exact Coaching Week schedule (trainings, interviews, box openings, Q&A sessions) and why it keeps engagement sky-high from start to finish.

3️⃣ Sell Without Feeling Salesy – Discover how Sarah seamlessly weaves membership invites into every day of Coaching Week using bonuses, member stories, and community energy.

The $15 Experiment That Generated 6-Figures with Sarah Williams

How to Do Less and Earn More 

Sometimes the fastest way to grow your business isn’t about adding more — it’s about letting go. In this episode, I’m outlining the five specific things I quit that unlocked my path to sustainable seven-figure growth. Each quit felt uncomfortable in the moment, but it was exactly what I needed to step into my CEO role and finally scale with confidence.

If you’ve ever felt maxed out, stuck in the weeds, or afraid to let go of something that feels “safe,” this episode will show you what’s possible when you choose to quit with intention.

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Doing It All Yourself Keeps You Stuck — Growth only happened once I stopped wearing every hat and started leading my team of contractors like a true CEO.

2️⃣ Data > Gut Decisions — Tracking my numbers (instead of avoiding them) gave me the clarity and confidence to simplify my offers and scale smarter.

3️⃣ Repeatable Systems Create Freedom — When I stopped starting from scratch and built repeatable, scalable systems, I gained momentum, peace of mind, and a reputation that fueled my business growth.

5 Things I Quit to Hit My First Million

The Part of Course Creation No One Talks About (And Why You Need to Start Anyway)

Ever think that a messy first course and a few failed launches could eventually lead to your signature program? In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my journey with digital courses—from my very first $267 launch to creating Digital Course Academy—and showing you how every single step (even the missteps) led me to finding and perfecting the offer I’ve become known for.

You’ll hear about the pivotal stages of my business: partnering with Lewis Howes, experimenting with memberships, and eventually combining my most successful programs into what is now Digital Course Academy. Each step taught me something new about confidence, listening to my audience, and taking action from feedback.

Finally, I’ll walk you through how courses are evolving in 2025. Students are looking for accountability, community, live coaching, and the personal stories only you can share. You’ll leave this episode with practical insights for shaping your own program and a reminder that every decision, even the messy ones, brings you closer to the course you’re meant to create.

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Action creates clarity – You won’t know your best course idea until you start. Each attempt reveals what works, what doesn’t, and where to go next.

2️⃣ Audience feedback is your compass – When you listen closely to what people need next, you’ll uncover the clues that lead to your most profitable and aligned offer.

3️⃣ Courses require more than just content – Transformation comes from live coaching, accountability, and sharing your personal stories. These are the elements that set your course apart in 2025.

The Brutally Honest Evolution of My Courses

Your Fear Of Wasting Time And Money In Course Creation Is Costing You (+ A Hack To Fix It Fast)

If you’ve been sitting on a course idea for months (even years), telling yourself you’ll do it “someday,” chances are fear is in the driver’s seat. Maybe you’re worried it will take too much time, cost too much money, or flop without the perfect polish. I know those fears all too well, because I’ve made expensive mistakes myself… including one that cost me $20,000. But looking back, those so-called mistakes became the lessons that built my confidence and gave me the stories, strategies, and success I have today.

In this episode, I walk you through the mindset shift that changed everything for me when I felt frozen by fear. You’ll hear a powerful tool I learned from my friend Jill Stanton called “Capture, Cancel, Correct,” which stops negative thoughts before they derail you. I also share why keeping your first course simple is actually your secret weapon to keeping costs down, and how to tap into what you already know instead of starting from scratch.

Plus, you’ll hear inspiring stories from my students who launched without all the bells and whistles, validated their ideas, and built profitable businesses step by step. By the end of this episode, you’ll see that the only real waste of time and money is doing nothing, pushing your launch, and delaying compounding revenue.

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ A proven way to stop fear in its tracks – The “Capture, Cancel, Correct” method gives you a practical tool to recognize limiting thoughts, shut them down, and choose a more empowering belief that keeps you moving forward.

2️⃣ Why simple beats perfect every time – Your first course doesn’t need to be polished to succeed. A streamlined, minimal viable course gets you into action faster, helps you earn revenue sooner, and gives you real student feedback to improve with each launch.

3️⃣ You already have everything you need to get started – You’re not starting with a blank page. The steps, strategies, and advice you’ve been sharing with clients, friends, or your community can be packaged into a clear, repeatable framework that becomes a long-term business asset.

Launch Diaries: AI, Trends & The Truth About Selling Courses in 2025

The Launch Strategies That Actually Work In Today’s Trust-Recession Market

In this episode, I’m joined by Emily Hirsh, CEO of Embodied Marketing, to uncover the strategies that are actually working in today’s digital course landscape.

We’re no longer in the early days when a course could succeed just by sharing information. Today’s buyers are overloaded, skeptical, and more selective than ever. What’s winning? Messaging with an emotional connection. And launch strategies that are both smart and sustainable.

Emily and I dig into the biggest mistakes course creators are making right now, why launches underperform, and how to shift your strategy to cut through the noise. You’ll walk away with practical, actionable steps you can apply immediately — whether you’re launching for the first time or reworking a course that hasn’t hit its stride yet.

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Messaging is your greatest competitive advantage – Most less-than-sucessful launches come down to surface-level copy. When your words reflect the real pain, frustrations, and desires of your audience, you stand out in a crowded market.

2️⃣ Your course doesn’t need more content, it needs a clearer path – Buyers don’t want to sift through hours of information. They want transformation, delivered in the simplest, fastest way possible.

3️⃣ Warm buyers convert best – A lead magnet followed by a low-ticket offer before the webinar builds trust, offsets ad costs, and creates higher-quality leads that are ready to buy.

RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

It’s not course creation that eats up your time and money.

It’s guessing your way through it.

For just $47, I’ll show you exactly how to choose and structure your offer, and how to validate it before you ever spend months building something that may not sell inside of my LIVE Bootcamp, Course Confident. 

And here’s the best part: you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll have the support of me, my team, a community of other course creators, and an AI assistant I personally trained to guide you step by step, so you’re never stuck wondering what’s next or if you’re doing it right.

Think of it as a small investment of time now that saves you months of frustration (and thousands of dollars) later.

Why Most Course Launches Fail (and How to Fix Yours)

The “Old Way” Of Creating Digital Courses Doesn’t Work. Here’s What’s Replacing It

If someone told you digital courses are dead, I get it. I've heard that too. But here’s the truth: the old way of creating digital courses? Yeah, that’s done. But the new way is more powerful, more profitable, and honestly...way more fun! 

In this episode, I’m breaking down the shift I’m seeing in the digital course world and sharing why I’m so excited about it. With AI tools everywhere and information at everyone’s fingertips, your audience doesn’t need more content. They need you. Your voice, your story, your guidance.

I’ll walk you through exactly what it looks like to create a course that actually improves lives (and yes, makes you money in the process), how to use AI as a tool without losing your magic, and why your point of view is the most valuable asset in your business.

If you’ve been sitting on a course idea or wondering how to make your current one stand out in today’s market, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ People Aren’t Buying Your Course for the Info – Your audience doesn’t want a content dump. They want clarity, a trusted path forward, and someone to help them cut through the noise. (P.S. That’s you!) 

2️⃣ Your Point of View Is the Reason They’ll Choose You Over Anyone Else – The most successful courses are rooted in personal experience and perspective. That’s your edge and no AI tool can replicate it.

3️⃣ AI Is a Tool, Not a Voice – When you lead with your stories and lived experience, AI becomes your assistant, not your replacement. Learn how I use it to sharpen my content, not water it down.

My "Best and Worst" List of Current Digital Course Trends

A Digital Course, an AI Bot, and a Smart Two-Offer Strategy That Works

If you’ve been wondering how AI can create true opportunity in your business, this episode is worth the 36 minutes.

I’m chatting with Becca Harpain, a Digital Course Academy student who didn’t just create a successful digital course, she took things to the next level by launching a custom GPT that serves a different audience and brings in an additional stream of revenue.

What I love most about Becca’s story is that she didn’t overthink it. She got scrappy, listened to her audience, and built something that aligned with her zone of genius. Her AI tool, Custom Codey, isn’t replacing her. It’s amplifying her voice, supporting her audience while she prepares for maternity leave, and keeping her business moving even when she steps away.

If you're building a course or already have one, and you're curious about how AI can elevate your offer, this episode is for you. Becca is an amazing example of what’s possible when you think creatively, take action, and serve your audience in new ways.

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ You don’t need to bundle everything into one offer – Becca’s offers serve two different audiences. She listened to what people actually needed and met them where they were.

2️⃣ AI can sound like you… when you teach it to – Becca trained her custom GPT with her course content, proprietary processes, and point of view so it delivers answers just like she would.

3️⃣ Done is better than perfect – She launched her AI tool using a Notion page and a buy link, proving you don’t need fancy tech to start. You just need a clear idea and the willingness to get it out there.

[CASE STUDY] One Custom GPT. 600 Sign Ups. 2 Weeks.

Revenue Not Flowing Like It Used To? Here’s The Fix.

Let’s face it → things in the online space have shifted. Buying behavior has changed, conversions have slowed for many, and the strategies that used to work aren’t landing like they used to. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. In this episode, I’m giving you 7 real, achievable ways to bring in more revenue right now without having to launch something brand new.

These aren’t complicated, start-from-scratch ideas. Instead, they’re foundational focus points that still work, even in a changing market. Whether it’s creating a hyper-specific coaching offer, adding in a simple upsell or downsell, or finally making affiliate links work for you, this episode is all about helping you get scrappy, smart, and profitable.

I also talk about something that might feel counterintuitive… why spending money on yourself might be the most powerful way to unlock untapped revenue. Because sometimes the biggest money-maker is a new skill set or fresh perspective.

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ You Don’t Need a Big Launch, You Just Need to Get Specific – Coaching offers still work beautifully, but they’ve gotta be personal and crystal clear. The more niche and results-driven, the better. 

2️⃣ Small Tweaks = Big Revenue Opportunities – Things like upsells, downsells, and affiliate links can bring in thousands without needing a massive list or marketing overhaul.

3️⃣ Make It More Personal – Whether it's offering concierge calls during a launch or hosting a mini in-person retreat, adding a personal touch builds trust and drives real results.

7 Ways to Make Money Before the End of the Year

The Future of Your Business Includes AI Agents… And They’re Not as Complicated as You Think

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and AI-savvy entrepreneur, Rick Mulready, to talk about something that's been blowing my mind lately → AI agents.

You’ve heard about ChatGPT, and if you’re an overachiever, you’ve even dabbled in CustomGPTs. But AI agents are the Mac Daddy of them all. Think, responding to data in real time, anticipating your project needs, and making reason-based decisions for you. And the best news? You don’t need to be techie to start using them in your business.

Rick breaks it down in the most approachable way… from what AI agents actually are, to how to start using them today to save time, improve workflows, and scale with less stress. Whether you're a solopreneur or you have a team, this episode will shift the way you think about efficiency and growth.

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ AI Agents Aren’t Just Fancy Chatbots, They Can Do the Work for You – AI agents don’t just complete one task. You can give them goals, set parameters, and they’ll take action, like researching, writing, posting, and even responding, without you lifting a finger (after you’ve trained them, of course).

2️⃣ Start Small, But Start Now – You won’t nail it on the first try (and that’s okay!). Rick explains how to begin with simple tasks like social media posts or inbox filtering so you can build confidence and see results fast.

3️⃣ The Right Tool + The Right Workflow = Magic – Tools like Relay.app make it simple to build workflows and integrate AI agents into your business. And when you pair that with ChatGPT and clear context, you’ve got a powerful team member working 24/7.

In this episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast I interviewed David Siteman Garland. We talked about how you can turn your online platform such as your blog, web show, or podcast into revenue by creating your own online course.

I've been following David for a few years now, so I am honored to have him on my show.
 In this episode, here’s what we’ll cover: 

 

The pitfalls of being a serial learner.

 

How to make a good income without burning out

 

The best ways to come up with ideas for products and programs

 

No-cost ways to test what will or will not sell

 

The step-by-step process that David follows each time he wants to promote something
