Here we go, folks! We’re back on the short-form video creation train and this week we’re sharing our plan of action for Teachery.

Bring on the 5-week content EXTRAVAGANZAAAA! We are getting back in the content creation saddle for the first time in almost 3 years.

11d ago38:40

38:40

We LOVE a launch recap episode! And as two people who value transparency and honesty in the online business world, we hope you appreciate this one because our latest launch (Spring 2024) didn’t quite hit the mark. Now, we want to be 100% clear: We are not upset by a 6-figure launch. There is nothing to complain about or shed a tear about. However, …

57:51

Join us this week as we celebrate episode #200 of this podcast by sharing a few untold (maybe just lesser known?) stories from our entrepreneurial pasts. We each picked a few stories for the other to share without telling them ahead of time — fun! In some ways it feels like we’ve recorded 200+ episodes of this podcast, but in other ways, it kind of…

197 - 7 magical tools that've changed our biz in the past year 1:01:57

1M ago1:01:57

1:01:57

We thought it would be fun to share the tools that we’re super excited to be using in 2024! Most of these are used for biz purposes, but a few them overlap with life too. If you’re a fan of the video game MarioKart (any version!) then you’ll know about the items you can collect in the “?” blocks throughout each race. As we shared the seven tools, J…

41:43

Who wants to talk about burnout?? Intervening before reaching burnout is crucial skill we’ve tried to learn over the years. How do you know you’re on the cusp of burning out? There are clear signals we’ve noticed: neglecting texts, rushing through moments, feeling unfulfilled despite productivity, brushing only half your teeth 😂, and struggling to …

194 - A paid coaching program requires 4 crucial parts 52:35

2M ago52:35

52:35

For the last 5 years we’ve run a paid coaching program that includes a community. During that time, we’ve learned a lot about what works and doesn’t work and thought we’d break down in this episode. We go over 4 crucial parts: The Audience, The Offer, The Community, and The Launches. Not only do we share what has worked for us in each of those four…

193 - Why we love lifetime pricing 1:04:15

2M ago1:04:15

1:04:15

Is lifetime pricing better than an ongoing membership model? What about individual course launches? And what if you only sell a $97 product? We go over all our thoughts on our lifetime pricing model in this episode and answer listener (and customer) questions! There is no perfect way to make money with online business, but from our experience, usin…

192 - What happens when you lose momentum? 42:46

3M ago42:46

42:46

This week, we wanted to share an episode that was a bit more off the cuff. We had a friend visiting for a week, we both got sick, and momentum has slipped from our grasp! Now… what the heck do we do? We share the steps we’re taking to regain momentum and we also talk through the idea of “starting ugly” and what to do with the feelings of wanting to…

We also go through the nuts and bolts of why we chang…

190 - More ease doesn’t mean easy 32:57

3M ago32:57

32:57

This week, we share a bit of a roadblock we’re running into while focusing more on our online course software Teachery. And it’s not just one roadblock, it’s multiple, very technical, confusing, and difficult roadblocks 😂😂. Which is especially tough for us because our main business (WAIM) has become such a smooth operator over the course of 5 years…

189 - 7 things you’ll need on your creator journey 55:41

3M ago55:41

55:41

To kick off this episode we’re sharing a “mini meltdown” that Caroline experienced the day before recording.

Then, it’s time to go throug…

188 - Where’s your resistance coming from? 44:59

4M ago44:59

44:59

Whenever you change something, whether it’s a routine, a process, or pivoting your entire business, there are so many unforeseen ripple effects that will create resistance. We bumped up against a few of these and want to share the emotions and roadblocks we encountered as well as how we worked through them as a team (even if it was difficult in the…

185 - What does practicing “enough” look like? 58:32

6M ago58:32

58:32

After about 5 minutes of research, we realized we *thought* we’d recorded a podcast episode on the idea of practicing “enough,” but alas, we had not done that. We’ve talked about it here and there in a few other eps, but we wanted to have an entire conversation about enough because it’s been so impactful for us. We’re going to walk you through our …

181 - 30-day content challenge stats + lessons learned 1:07:09

7M ago1:07:09

1:07:09

The Calm Business Encyclopedia project reached its finish line and we’re equal parts excited and exhausted 😂. As with any big, DAILY, content project, the repetitive nature of it can wear you down. While we are a bit worn down, we’re also stoked to have a great resource out into the world to help online business owners (and our own biz!) We go thro…

179 - What're we doing with coaching in 2024? 48:09

7M ago48:09

48:09

We have this phrase around the WAIM office (aka our living room) that’s the “Straddling Strategist.” It’s the idea that so many people are straddling between two ideas or two businesses and can’t quite go all-in on either. This week, we share a pretty big update as it’s the future of our focus in our work! We sat down last week and had a 3-hour bra…
