  • The 5 key phases to a successful course launch

    Send a text

    Hello, amazing one! Welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur Podcast.

    Today we are talking about launching!

    Most people think that in order to launch a digital course online that you should spend your time building the product and then just let people know it is available and they can buy it (educators in business, I know you know what I am talking about).

    However, this ends up in crickets and often very few sales. You may have launched and experienced this yourself! And it’s totally fine as we live and we learn, right?

    If you want to have a sold out successful course launch, then you want to have a strategic launch runway in order to bring it to the market and this is what I am sharing with you today.

    In this episode, I will share:

    • The 5 key phases to a successful online course launch.
    • How long each phase is.
    • What the goals and core focus is within each phase in order to execute it properly.

    If you have the desire to radically boost your business income and get an influx of new leads, new customers and have a sold out product launch… then you want to listen to this episode!

  • Debunking BS money beliefs

    Send a text

    Hello, amazing one! Welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur Podcast.

    Based on a podcast survey I did recently, there was a lot of requests for a money mindset topic!

    I was in a spicy mood and so I decided to debunk a few common money beliefs and call them out as BS (which so many of them are).

    If we are in business and would like to earn money, it is imperative that we work on our money blocks, and our relationship and mindset around money.

    In this episode, I will:

    • Share why your money mindset is important if you want to make money.
    • Share my process for debunking BS money beliefs.
    • Debunk some common money beliefs and show why they are simply not true (whilst making a case for the opposite to be true).

    If you think like you are wealthy, you will BE wealthy, and making money will be easier.
    If you think that you are poor, you will remain poor and making money will be harder.

    Reality is merely a mirror reflecting your beliefs back to you so choose them wisely.

  • Your launch debrief essentials

    Send a text

    Hello, amazing one! Welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur Podcast.

    In this episode today, I am going on a launch debrief deep dive where I share with you the key metrics that matter during a launch!

    A business friend of mine coined the phrase ‘’The data takes the emotion out of the promotion’’ which is exactly why it is so important. If you are aren’t looking at actual data, your brain just makes up irrational ‘stories’ that aren’t rooted in any evidence. This means you take things personally when really, it’s a business and you need to look at the evidence to see what is actually going on.

    We just had a live launch of DBA now and we are deep into our launch debrief as we try look at how successful the whole campaign was for our business. And I really wanted to help you do this too in this episode!

    This is an episode to really listen to and pay attention, if you can grab a pen and paper and make notes, then even better! I go a little maths crazy on you so just prepare 😉.

    In this episode, I will share:

    • The key metrics that matter in your launch and how to calculate them.
    • How your post launch debrief helps you prepare for your next successful launch and allows you to reverse engineer what you need to hit your next launch goals.

    If you are serious about growing your business, then you have to get serious about tracking the data. The magic is in the data!

  • A Digiteachers Biz Academy transformation story with Preeti Rai

    Send a text

    Hello, amazing one! Welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur Podcast.

    In this episode today, I am bringing you a case study with one of my past Digiteachers Biz Academy students who I have become great friends with over the years of us working together.

    This is a live recording of a call I had with Preeti Rai during one of my past live Educators Income Booster Bootcamp. The only people who see these calls are our Bootcampers but I thought that they were so powerful that I needed to share it on my podcast.

    Preeti Rai is an incredible business English coach for corporate women and she takes language learning to a whole new level of transformation. She is very mission driven to empower women and has a heart of gold.

    In this episode, you will hear about:

    • Where Preeti was before she started the Digiteachers Biz Academy. 
    • How she has grown internally and her business has grown since doing DBA. 
    • How her business has become a spiritual and personal development journey like no other. 
    • And how her prices have quadrupled since working together and now she works between UK and Italy (or wherever he heart calls her). 


    Preeti had become a coaching client since we had this live call, and in the last few months she has had her biggest cash month yet, an amazing €7K! Not only that, she is really changing women's lives and that is really her dream.

    Prepare to be inspired by this amazing woman's story!

    The doors to The Digiteachers Biz Academy open up for enrollment a few times a year officially and the doors will be opening again on the 2nd August at 6pm CET! I have a never-done-before early bird bonus which is €100 off the DBA old program for the first 24 hours.

    I only have 15 spots available in this live cohort. If you are desiring to go on this mentorship journey of launching your own course strategically and powerfully so that you can build the freedom business you desire, then get on the waitlist HERE. 

    Keep your eyes peeled for when the doors open as they will close just a few days later on the 6th August.

  • The simple way to a 6-figure online business

    Send a text

    Hello, amazing one! Welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur Podcast.

    In this episode today, I am revealing something so simple but so effective for any online business owner who wants to hit 6-figures a year in their business and expand their impact like crazy!

    When people think ‘more money’ they immediately think they need to create ‘more offers’ and yes sometimes that can be true (depending on where you are at in your season of business)  but for those of you who are in the starting phase, more offers is not necessarily the route you want to take to 6-figures.

    My 6-figure roadmap is so simple it will shock you BUT it’s true, it works and it’s how I have done it for years.

    In this episode, I will share:  

    • My hilariously weird but accurate analogy of what your offers are in your business and how to view them. 
    • Why people struggle to follow this simple process and how adding complexity to your business makes hitting 6-figures a lot harder. 
    • One of the most important things you need to grow a profitable online business (no matter the amount you desire) is to build a 6-figure offer. Something that is strong, desirable and that people want to buy. This is what I will help you do in my Educators Income Booster Bootcamp! 

    Doors are officially open for the Educators Income Booster Bootcamp for just €37.

    I am going to help you map out your own HOT OFFER from start to finish on paper, so that you have the clarity and confidence to go sell the damn thing and make amazing moolah!

    This really is an incredible experience and I cannot wait to connect and serve you inside.

    Grab your ticket HERE. Doors will close on the 27th July at midnight CET. And the pre-party kicks off 28th July!
