• #216: Behind the Scenes of My Launch: The Good, The Bad & The LOL Moments
    Apr 25 2025

    If you've ever launched a course, membership, or coaching offer—you already know it’s way more than “build it and they will come.”

    In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my most recent launch for Signature Talk Academy—and I’m breaking down the real story: the good, the bad, and the totally LOL.

    You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, what totally threw me off (hello fractured foot 😅), and why I keep launching the way I do—even when life throws curveballs.

    Whether you’re prepping for your first launch or refining your fifth, this episode is packed with insight, strategy, and honest reflections to help you stay focused, stay sane, and stay profitable.

    Key Takeaways:

    • A launch isn’t a “one-and-done”—it’s a system that brings clarity, consistency, and clients

    • You need a longer warm-up runway than you think. Trust is built before your cart opens.

    • Stay focused on one offer at a time. Too many offers = confused audience.

    • Social attention spans are short—build deeper relationships in fewer places (like a Facebook group).

    • Life will happen. Build resilience into your process and stay flexible.
    • Reuse and repurpose everything. Your future self will thank you.
