Claire Pelletreau was just starting to grow her side business as a Facebook ad and marketing consultant when her full-time job disappeared. Desperate to land enough clients just to pay the bills, she was disappointed at how difficult it was to find real tactical advice that would help actually her get paid month to month. The Get Paid Podcast is Claire’s attempt to pull back the curtain on the reality of running an online business. All these people pulling in “six figures” - how are they ACTUALLY doing it? What kind of money do they take home after expenses? What are those expenses, anyway? Are they truly “solopreneurs” or are they supported by a team? What does that team do for them? How are they marketing their offerings and growing their lists? How long did it take to get to where they are? You’ll discover how different entrepreneurs get paid and what it costs them to bring in that money.

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

Jan 16, 2020

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.
