The Fearless Launching Show with Anne Samoilov

Has this ever happened to you?

You finally set the date you’re going to unveil your product, your course, maybe your first online program to the world.

Feeling so ready do this.

But then the date comes and goes… so you push it back for real.

And then you keep pushing back the date.

Not just once. But twice. Maybe three times.

Now, there could be a real unavoidable reason for this and there often is, but it’s also possible something deeper is going on.

I’m curious about something...

Actually a few things...

• Are you a planner?
• Do you plan things out, check off the boxes, and never miss a step?
• Do you like to map out broad strokes without a ton of detail?
• Do you find yourself taking action on something every single day?
• Are there days/weeks/months in between your action (especially as it relates to what you want to launch)?
• Do you often postpone your launches?
• Have you never launched because you weren’t sure what to do first?

So, you don’t actually have to tell me the answers to these questions (unless you want to), do it for yourself.

Today’s 200th episode is one that dives in deep to how you can get better at not just planning (your launches, your life, your business), but how to get better at following, DOING, and completing the plan.

It sounds like the dream scenario.

You build a small service based business, get so busy that your business is bursting at the seams…within a year you're at the six figure mark…and then within three years a simple shift in what you offer to your clients lands you with a seven figure business…

Sounds amazing, right?

Today's guest talks about her journey from starting an online business to now being a sought after Facebook Ads agency (but really, she does so much more).

You're going to love getting to know Emily Hirsh. Not only is her story full of lessons to consider as you grow your business, but she also drops some knowledge about running effective Facebook Ads campaigns.

Are you ready?

Have you ever thought of creating a subscription box business?

Whether you’re an online business owner, a course creator, a physical business owner - offering a subscription box is a great way to add a high touch offering and one that brings in recurring revenue.

Today’s guest has built her own stationary and card subscription-based business from scratch.

She runs it mostly on her own. She curates the contents of each box, assembles all the boxes, ships everything too! Has two different types of boxes people can order and creates a beautiful experience no matter which one you choose!

So, if you’re interested in starting a new business, looking for a way to add a new type of offering to whatever you’re already doing, listen to my conversation with Danielle Nelson of Pretty By Post.

Would you believe that self-awareness is your biggest (and often hidden) business super power?

How well do you know yourself? I don’t mean your likes, dislikes, dreams or your life story, but really do you know what makes you tick?

Today’s guest went on a journey to really figure out what made her tick in her business, how to avoid duplicating past negative workplace practices she’d experienced...and it led her to the Enneagram.

If you love personality tests of any kind, know your Myers Briggs type, your Strengthsfinder themes, then you’ll love today’s conversation with Kelsey Chapman.

Let’s get real.

Sometimes it’s hard to know if you’re making progress on your business.

You show up week after week - publish the podcast, write the newsletter, host the webinar.

And even when you see more people paying attention, more likes, more people opt-in...it can feel a bit unclear.

Are you going in the right direction?

Are you saying and doing the right things?

Over the years I’ve seen many people beat themselves up for not being where they should be or being behind, I knew it was time to stop and share the story of a woman I’ve watched grow over the past several years.

When we dissected her journey, the things she’s accomplished, we could see plain as day how progress was happening all along - even in the “not big enough” moments that could have escaped her -- if she hadn’t been paying attention.

The last time our guest was on the show, I received more emails than I expected...

I think people really connected with the idea of clutter and how it affects our daily life.

JoAnn Krall teaches entrepreneurs and regular ‘ole peeps who are doing various things in the world, how to organize their homes, businesses, and life. But today we’re talking about a problem that is near and dear to the hearts of anyone building a business online.

Information overload--in the form of paper or digital clutter.

How many of us can relate to the first days/months of learning how to start a blog, set up your Facebook Page, set up your business...and all those pdf downloads. Check your downloads folder on your computer now - and come clean with me.

How full is it and what’s in there?

Today I wanted to rant a bit about a question I think hits the core of why most people get stuck on launching… They aren’t clear on what comes first. Is it the product? Is it the people? Or is it the process?

Today’s episode is going to be short - I think.

We’re going to talk about a topic I think we all need to be reminded of… a question really…

What comes first - the product, the people or the process? Or rather, what comes first the what, the who, or the how we’re going to do it?

First - I’ll rant a bit on the answer. Then, I’ll go over what to do no matter which one you’ve “got”.

What is it email segmentation? Why should you use it? How to get started using it on your next launch?

That’s what we’re talking about on today’s episode of the podcast.

If you have an online business, or you’ve spent any time in the online world at all, then you’ve likely heard about the power of email marketing…you may have even heard of email segmentation.

And here’s why it’s so important…

Segmenting your email list is the best way to personalize the experience for each person in your audience.

But this isn’t just a launch strategy...
