The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss

Greatest Hits: Brooke Castillo - the Conversation that Changed My Business


Listen Later

Brooke Castillo is the co-founder and CEO of The Life Coach School, an online certification program for life coaches that helps clients and professional life coaches improve their lives, businesses, and careers. She is a Master Certified Life and Weight Coach with over 13 years of experience. She is the author of several self-help books including Self Coaching 101, Why Can’t I Lose Weight, and It Was Always Meant to Happen That Way as well as the host of The Life Coach School Podcast.

Brooke joins me to share how she achieved $17-million in revenue with only two product offerings. She explains the importance of understanding the value of your products or services, why your mindset is crucial for improving your bottom line, and why entrepreneurs need to stop thinking in terms of time vs. money. She also shares the nitty-gritty details of her profits and expenses last year, how much she pays herself and her team, and what she did to grow her membership program to consist of thousands of members without offering discounts or scholarships.

 

“If you think about yourself as the best in the world, then you would never describe yourself as expensive - and certainly never discount it.” - Brooke Castillo

The Most Important Training for Course Creators 

If you're like me, you've heard the talk: “Evergreen funnels aren't effective. Only certain types of businesses can actually sell on autopilot”. But, that's not true at all. I’ve made $50,000 in revenue with Mariah Coz’s evergreen funnel strategies. 

Now, you can walk through her entire system in her free class: ‘How To Sell More Courses With An Evergreen Sales Funnel’.  It's kinda insane how detailed she gets in this training. Visit clairepells.com/ee to get it right now.
