AskPat 2.0: A Weekly Coaching Call on Online Business, Blogging, Marketing, and Lifestyle Design

In this episode of AskPat, I chat with Nick about how he can add a subscription model to his online courses. Nick oversees the children and student ministries at his church, and also dedicates his time to helping other churches grow their leadership and their ministries. He's got a Family Ministry Podcast and also a learning site called Ministry Boost, where he offers classes that he and a team of instructors make available on a one-off basis. He's thinking about ways to grow and support everybody better, and thinking about maybe going with a subscription model for his online courses. What are some of the pros and cons with a subscription model? We discuss this, and other ideas for how he might modify his delivery model, in this episode.If you enjoyed today's episode and you love the format of this show and helping other entrepreneurs, can you help me convince others to listen too?

This Where Are They Know? episode is kind of a crossover, if you will, because we originally talked to this guest on the Smart Passive Income Podcast. In Episode 311, “How to Build an Audience with Your Hobby,” we talked to Phil Lichtenberger from Scanner School. He was a Power-Up Podcasting student who had taken what he learned and used it to build a strong following in a niche topic about his passion—radio scanners. For this episode of AskPat, we explore finding more time in your business to level up success.If you enjoyed today's episode and you love the format of this show and helping other entrepreneurs, can you help me convince others to listen too?

Today on AskPat, we check in with Erin from ThePetitPlanner.com. When we last spoke, on Episode 1063, she was feeling like her business had stalled out a little bit. She was trying to figure out how to bring what she offered to new audiences and new markets, and specifically, we talked about different channels she could explore. As you’ll hear, she’s done just that and seen some pretty immediate results.If you enjoyed today's episode and you love the format of this show and helping other entrepreneurs, can you help me convince others to listen too?

We usually do Where Are They Now? episodes on AskPat for the end of the year, but this year, we had so many great success stories that we decided to keep going. This week, we check back in with Lea Pica of leapica.com. What was fun about checking in with Lea is that she did follow my advice, but it turned out to be a stepping stone to help her realize what she really needed to do. What she ended up realizing was that turning her material into an online course would make her audience feel like they weren’t missing out on anything.If you enjoyed today's episode and you love the format of this show and helping other entrepreneurs, can you help me convince others to listen too?

In this episode of AskPat, we look at how Kyle has been able to turn his business into an overnight success. Specifically, I dig into what strategies has made him successful on YouTube and how he’s been able to use them to grow his business. We also talk about how much growth is too much, and how to keep things focused on what you want to achieve and not let everything get out of control. It’s so amazing to see growth, and I hope you’re inspired by seeing someone take action and reap the benefits.

In this episode, we talk about when it’s OK to put something on the backburner. You don’t want to back off of something just because you’re in an uncomfortable place and you have to do the hard work. With Connie Neal, I think it’s different. Listen closely to the way her voice lights up when she talks about Grandma Goodie. I’m really excited by this new direction and I can’t wait to check in again and see where it goes.If you enjoyed today's episode and you love the format of this show and helping other entrepreneurs, can you help me convince others to listen too?
