Want to retire early in 10 years, and live on $80k forever?

With a lifestyle business, you can.

 [Read the full blog post here].

People want a quick win, and the industry sells the pipedream of a gazillion dollars in two seconds.. but if you’re willing to develop the skill of being a course creator?

A LOT can happen in 10 years ⌛️

A. LOT.

Here’s the cliff notes:

Invest $10k a month from the profits of your high cashflow online course business for 10 years (instead of spending it on Gucci bags, a big team or lifestyle creep).

At year ten, you can retire with $2m in the bank.

You’ll take $80k a year for the rest of your life without depleting the balance.

Here’s your road map for retiring in 10 years, if you start today 🗺️:

1️⃣ Commit to developing the skill of being a course creator. Create one flagship course.

2️⃣ Develop your skills to sell 300 a year at $1000 each. That’s $200 - $300k. Spend one third of that on expenses/tax, a third on your salary and set a third aside ($120k a year).

3️⃣ Invest the one third you set aside into assets (eg stocks, property). In ten years assuming a 10% average annual return, you’ll have over $2million.

4️⃣ At this point, you’ll have the option to retire early. Spend 4% a year each year after that forever and you’ll have $80,000 in annual income without depleting the balance (Google the 4% rule).

5️⃣ But if you do it right? You’ll probably still be loving what you do so much you don’t even WANT to stop anyway.

This, my friends, is what it means to build a lifestyle business.

In the past 12 months, I’ve created 8 online courses. 

That’s 680 lessons, according to my course platform.

[Read the full blog post here].

It’s all been part of a grand master plan I hatched in mid-2023 to build out the complete operating system for building a leveraged, expertise-based lifestyle business.

The eight courses are designed with that specific endgame in mind. 

Here’s a summary: 

• Lifestyle Business School Roadmap: This is the overarching roadmap for mapping and tracking your progress to your personal endgame. 
• Dream and Design: Design the leveraged expertise-based business model that satisfies the Monday Morning test and feels just right for you. 
• Create and Validate: Build a simple, leveraged expertise-based offer suite (and the engaged lead list to sell it) in 12-weeks. 
• Deliver and Delight: The full delivery playbook for building out a stand out and streamlined online course, group program, membership or mastermind. 
• Rinse and Repeat: The ultimate collective of every live launch and promotion under the sun. 
• Traffic Playbook: Develop and execute a simple but sophisticated marketing plan to sell your scalable offers. 
• Automate and Accelerate: Build out a fully automated system of cascading campaigns to sell your offers on autopilot.. while you sleep. 
• [Not currently included in Lifestyle Business School] Operational Elegance: The full back end blueprint for running your online business including systems, structure and streamlined processes to simplify, scale.. or step back!

Here’s why it was important to me, though.

When I looked around, I saw too much piecemeal advice.

 “Implement this strategy for success!” – one course would say.

“Do this and get your next 1000 followers!” – another would say. 

The truth is, everything worked (if implemented).

But, the advice was piecemeal.

They were tactics, when ultimately what someone needs to build a successful leveraged lifestyle business is a simple, holistic strategy, and a clear map with all of the pieces laid out in order.

That’s what I have created in Lifestyle Business School.

To get sales, you need leads!

To get leads, you need traffic! 

So, how do you get it? 

What’s working now? 

[Read the full blog post here].

The truth is, times have changed. 

The landscape is crowded. 

Ads are costly. 

And getting attention feels about as easy as screaming to a band to pull you up on stage in the middle of a rock concert. 

So let me lift the lid on how I do it, and what’s working right now.

You know the whole “money in your sleep” thing? 

“Build a funnel and watch the money roll in whilst you’re catching z’s”? 

The truth is, it’s real – but not in the same way it’s been taught, sold and done online for the past few years.

[Read the full blog post here].

The standard advice is that you set it up once, flick the switch to “on”, and watch the sales start rolling through the door. 

As much as I’d love to sell you that strategy, it doesn’t quite work that way. 

That’s the bad news. 

The good news? 

Is that when done the right way, at the right time, using principles that work right now, and the right “full funnel” strategy, an evergreen funnel can become one of the most powerful automated workhorses for generating bonus profit in your business. 

In today’s piece, I am going to share with you how to build out an evergreen funnel system to sell your online course, program or membership the RIGHT way. 

(No BS or unrealistic promises included). 

Side note – We have just added a fresh new course soldier to the Lifestyle Business School lineup. It’s called Automate and Accelerate, and it’s a step–by-step, here’s-exactly-how-you-do-it system for building out an evergreen funnel system to sell your offer/s on autopilot. 

It includes the full strategy for creating a front end evergreen funnel to make sales immediately, and then the three to six month back end ecosystem to continue to cycle your leads through a series of offers to make profit.. without lifting a finger. 

You can check out Automate and Accelerate and join us in Lifestyle Business School here.
