Why Knowing Your Key Business Numbers Can Feel Empowering

Are you paying attention to the numbers that make a difference in building your online, profitable business? 

CPA and bookkeeping expert Serena Shoup is on the podcast to highlight what it means to be a Profit Conscious CEO and the four numbers that matter when it comes to making the wisest business decisions. 

Talking numbers may not be as exciting as receiving the ping of every sale alert, but the bottom line matters as you’re growing a sustainable business. 

Serena Shoup doesn’t think of herself as a numbers “nerd,” and she loves translating numbers in a way everyone can understand. Serena is our expert guest on the podcast this week. 

You’ll learn the four key numbers you need to know and compare each month to become more conscious of profit in a way that’s relaxed but strategic.

Listen in to understand the ideal way to:

✔️ Track revenue streams to make the best strategic decisions.

✔️ Evaluate your numbers over time to ensure you’re growing your profit.

✔️ Know when you need the lift of accounting software.

✔️ Recognize when you need to dig in or change up offers.

Even if numbers aren’t your area of expertise, you’ll feel empowered by this episode! Listen in here.

It’s never one size fits all when it comes to your students.

If you’ve been listening to me—you know I believe that you blaze your own path when creating your online course.

In this episode, you’ll discover: 

✔️ How to be strategic with the components and structure of a choose-your-own-adventure approach;

✔️ How a menu course is different than a membership;

✔️ Offering à la carte as a way for certain students to learn at their own pace and deepen their work with you; and.

You’ve put in so much effort, so first, I hope you celebrate getting it done!! 

I have been so impressed with parenting expert Ann Coleman’s passion and action-oriented attitude. In this coaching episode, Ann and I discuss how to make the most of lessons learned from the launch and how her course was received now that it’s out in the world. 

This conversation will help you get into the mindset of leveraging all the ways your course can benefit more students and your business growth. You’ll hear Ann’s launch story and I’ll walk through what questions to ask your audience and yourself to ensure you know how to get to the real-world truths and make optimal adjustments moving forward.

In this episode, you’ll learn the ideal way to:

✔️ Look at course sales fairly and opportunistically.

✔️ Warm up your audience leading up to a launch. 

✔️ Generate excitement for your course before, during, and after a launch.

✔️ Cash in on your value-add investments.

✔️ Solicit feedback at different stages to discover disconnects, what’s working, and whether your course landed well.

Your launched course brings you vetted opportunities to diversify, repurpose, expand, and hone in on the deepest way to connect with and grow your audience. At this point, it’s about continuous improvement.

Welcome to my obsession: life-changing breakthroughs and what leads to them! 

Ever since being part of Breakthrough with Tony Robbins, I’ve been fascinated by what transforms perception and gives people the exact thing they need to achieve a big dream.

Creating a course will push you past your comfort zone. It can be challenging and complex even if you understand the ins and outs. We all get to places where we lose momentum or get so focused on the desired outcome, that we freeze when things aren’t meeting our expectations.

I just love the science and approach Adam Alter presents in Anatomy of a Breakthrough. 

Listen in, as I breakdown the breakthrough components and how they apply to you as course creators and business owners. 

You’ll learn tools to help you:

✔️ Breakthrough blocks and indecision.

✔️ Remember your power when you feel powerless and lack motivation.

✔️ Find the sweet spot on your first or next script so you can move forward.

✔️ Reframe failure, unintended results, and your discomfort zone with a healthy mindset. 

✔️ Build success on what seems like a failure.

I do this work because I love witnessing your breakthroughs, the way you get it done, your determination, and your brilliance!
