In this LIVE Q&A from my 2025 Launch Masterclass, I answer the questions that business owners everywhere are asking right now.

It often feels like the world is moving faster than ever – politics, economics, technology, AI – and it's easy to feel left behind.

But here's the truth: your ultimate security isn't found in a job, a paycheck, or a market that feels unpredictable. It's in creating value for the world, showing it to the right people, and getting paid for it.

That never changes.

In this special Q&A episode, you'll discover real, practical insights and strategies that can immediately improve your messaging, marketing, and conversions.

This is what's working now – the thinking I'm using in my launches. (In fact, this Q&A is part of my latest launch!)

Plus, you'll get a front-row seat to the questions other Masterclass participants are asking – so you can see what's on the minds of business owners just like you.

And this is just part one…

Part 2 is coming in a few days – and I'll be diving even deeper into actionable strategies, answering more questions, and uncovering even more insights that can change the trajectory of your business over the next year.

What if you could turn your passion into a business… without the stress of endless trial and error?

In this week's episode of Dare to Launch, Sarah MacKeigan shares how she made a bold career move – from healthcare project manager to dog physiotherapist.

You might have heard the advice – "just follow your passion." But that's easier said than done.

Sarah followed her passion… but she also had to overcome real challenges – challenges many entrepreneurs face – especially when it came to selling…

Like a lot of business owners, she struggled to figure out how to turn her expertise into a viable, profitable business.

But Sarah didn't give up.

Instead, she found a way to fill her program with paying customers before she actually created it. And the results blew her away.

She shares exactly how she did it in this week's episode. You'll also hear:

• How Sarah transitioned from a traditional career to something unconventional (and the personal experience that led to the shift)

• The unexpected struggles she faced while turning her passion into a business (it's not as simple as the "just follow your passion" crowd would have you believe)

• How she built – and got paid for – her program before she created it… and why this "backward" approach makes offers even more desirable and powerful

… and much more

If you want to turn your passion into a mission-driven, profitable business that serves you and your community, this episode is for you…

- - -

In my FREE Launch Masterclass, I'll walk you through the same "get paid before you create it" process Sarah used to create a highly desirable, profitable program.

If you've ever wondered whether you could turn your skills into something more, you should meet David H. Lawrence XVII…

Because while most people in his industry live gig to gig, David discovered a way to turn his voiceover talents into a thriving online business – one that's brought in 24 six-figure launches (so far) and serves thousands of aspiring actors.

Here's what's crazy…

David never planned to be an online teacher. In fact – in his own words – he was dragged… "kicking and screaming."

First into teaching… then into going online.

But he's glad he was. 🙂

If you've ever thought, "People won't pay for what I know," listen to David's story… you might be surprised.

You'll also hear:

• The moment in an acting class that sparked his entire business.

• How he turned one "can you teach me how to do that?" moment into a repeatable, thriving income stream.

• The mindset shift that took him from "Is this even possible?" to "This works every single time."

… and much more.

If you're sitting on a skill… or a talent… or an idea – wondering how you can turn it into something bigger, this episode is for you.

See what's possible when you stop trading time for money… and turn your skills into life-changing business.

I didn't plan it.

It just kinda happened… and then it became a "thing".

A few years back, I was doing a live session in my Launch Masterclass, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw it…

Right next to my camera was a squirrel.

And this thing is just going nuts.

Now I'm live with thousands of people. So I'm doing everything I can to stay focused and not get distracted, but I can't help it…

… my eyes keep wandering over to this little guy scampering all over my deck.

I knew I had to say something.

Dan and I laughed about it. And by the next session, he'd rigged up a second camera and "Squirrel Cam" was born.

Moments like that often feel like mistakes. But every year since, there's always someone who asks:

"Is there a squirrel cam this year?"

Yeah, it is kinda ridiculous. But "squirrel cam" is what launching is all about – showing up live, figuring things out in real time, and leaning into whatever happens.

In this clip from Dare to Launch, Chris, Dan, and I get into this more – including the full "squirrel cam" story… and how you can use "mistakes" to build a closer connection to your audience.

Affiliate promotions (where you promote someone else's product to your list) can be one of the easiest, fastest, and most profitable launches you do.

I've been on both sides – both promoting and having other people promote my launches – for literally decades now.

And it's no secret that I love these kinds of promotions.

Done well – where you promote a proven offer that gets real results for your people – it's a triple home run… 1. You make a lot of sales, without having to do all the hard work of creating and launching a product.

2. Your people get great results… so they love you for introducing them to the product.

3. You build up great rapport and relationships with the people you help promote.

Win win win.

But… like anything… there's a right and a wrong way to do these sorts of promotions.

And doing them the right way makes an enormous difference…

To the point where I've seen brand-new affiliates with tiny lists FAR outconvert established "gurus" with massive lists.

And almost every year, I see at least one brand new partner who comes out of nowhere and lands one of the big sales prizes I offer for my launch.

So what makes for a killer affiliate promotion?

There are moments when life just wallops you – when all you can see is fear, overwhelm, and uncertainty.

So let's get into what you can do when that happens…

Because there is a way through those moments. And it doesn't involve looking for silver linings or pretending everything's fine.

I won't pretend staying calm and grounded when the pressure is on is easy… because it's not.

But this clip from Dare to Launch will give you a few things you can do – practical, actionable steps you can take to lead yourself (and others) forward… even in the hardest moments.

Pat Flynn didn't set out to build a Pokémon brand with over 4 billion views and 3 million followers…

He just wanted to learn how to use TikTok. So he created a simple experiment – he was going to post one video a day for 60 days.

That's when things kinda snowballed…

What happened next is a crazy story, with a bunch of powerful lessons. And since Pat's a good friend, I invited him onto the Dare to Launch podcast so he can share it with you.

Pat's name might ring a bell. He's a successful entrepreneur many times over. But one of the things I like most about him is how he loves to learn and experiment.

Take this new brand for example…

Pat already had multiple successful businesses in wildly different niches (think everything from earning passive income to Pokémon)...

But he wanted to learn how to get really, really good at TikTok. So he started another new business.

This one was also in the Pokémon niche… but was exclusively focused on TikTok.

And the wild thing is… he didn't use ANY of his existing audience or platforms to help promote it. Because the goal, first and foremost, was LEARNING.

This was a brand-new niche, audience, and channel for him – he had zero reputation, zero credibility, and zero followers. And that's exactly how Pat liked it…

He knew the best way to get good was to do this "from scratch."

(And to make doubly sure he wasn't recognized, he never even showed his face in his videos.)

Like anyone starting something new, Pat had to wade through that initial "sucky" phase – when everything feels hard, messy, and you don't see any results…

The first month was a struggle…

His videos were getting a couple hundred views – nothing spectacular. And if he was only focused on metrics, he probably would have quit.

But he wasn't. And he didn't…

He was committed to his 60 day experiment. So he kept showing up and – on day 35…

Boom – one of his videos blew up, hitting 750,000 views.

The snowball started to pick up pace…

His views and subscribers started ramping up… fast. And cool opportunities started coming his way:

• He was invited by the Detroit Lions to open Pokémon packs – on the field!

• He got to meet famous NBA and UFC fighters through his channel

• He started clocking up millions of views every single day – and bringing in five figures in ad revenue

• He launched Card Party – a live event for Pokémon collectors, creators, and fans. The last event attracted over 5,500 attendees… and sold out with $0 marketing. (It's now so popular, he's now doing TWO events a year.)

• He leveraged his Pokémon audience to generate 2,000 extra sales for his new book, land himself on the NYT bestseller list… and generate hundreds of social shares along the way

… all from taking one daily action – uploading a simple video.

This episode of Dare to Launch is a masterclass in what happens when you stop waiting and start doing… even when no one is watching.

Pat breaks down why information and inspiration could be the thing holding you back…

… and how just taking a small step in the right direction can have big results.

(And yes, this works for non-Pokémon niches too! 🙂)

What if you woke up tomorrow and your business was gone?

And I'm not talking "you lost a big client" or a "big chunk of money" gone…

I'm talking every client… every cent – your entire business. And not just gone… but stolen by one of the people you trusted most.

Well, I can tell you how it feels… because it happened to me.

One moment, I was earning more money than I could have dreamed of… the next, I'm answering an early morning phone call and hearing the words:

"Jeff, it's Mike. I'm taking the business…"

I'd love to tell you that I quickly shrugged it off . But that's not what happened.

Still…I managed to turn what felt like a total gut punch into something even better.

Here's the full story
