Ever told yourself that you don't have the TIME to create an online course? 

What if you were to switch "I don't have time" for "I'm not making this a priority," and you were to see how that feels? 

That's exactly what Britt did when, 12 months ago, she committed to prioritising creating a course SO THAT she could free up more of her time in the long term. 

As a social media manager, Britt's time was capped - she didn't want to scale to be a big agency. With clients consistently enquiring about her services but no ability to serve them without burning out, she joined our Launchpad program. 

Just five months later, she had sold out her Foundation Round, and 12 weeks after that had created her Instagram content course, Conquer Your Content.

In today's podcast episode, Britt walks through her journey as a course creator, why it's not all piña coladas on the beach and her honest account of 12 months growing a new business model. 

In this podcast, we cover:

👉🏻 The reason why Britt decided that she needed to make a shift in her business model;
👉🏻 Why time initially held her back, and how she changed her perspective with an important mindset shift; 
👉🏻 How Britt got paid to create her course without webinars, launching or funnels; 
👉🏻 The continual evolution required in your messaging to be an effective course creator; 
👉🏻 How Britt navigates kicking goals as a perfectionist;
👉🏻And more!

At worst, it has the potential to cause reputational damage and operational chaos.

Here’s why.

You'd think that hitting $100k, or $500k, or $1 million in online sales would mean you've MADE it, right? I mean, all of your revenue goals have come true! You're awesome! You did it! Everything is PERFECT!

Only... so often, that ISN'T actually the case.

In fact, experiencing that "first taste" of success is often a dangerous place to be in. It's very easy at this point in your online course business to fall into the "trappings" of success, and commit one of what we like to call the "Seven Deadly Experienced Online Course Creator Sins".

I know, because I've been there myself.

In today's podcast episode, we'll be covering the Seven Deadly Experience Course Creator Sins, why they are so common, and why I personally feel so passionately about helping others avoid them. So much so, that SOLVING these problems is going to be a 'central pillar' in our business rebrand!

Here’s the seven deadly ‘online business sins’ newly minted course creators that have had a taste of success fall into:
👉🏻  The Frankenstein Offer Suite
👉🏻 Chasing an Arbitrary Revenue Goal
👉🏻 Too Hard, Too Fast
👉🏻 Following Someone Else’s Dream
👉🏻 Confusing “Cashflow” For Wealth
👉🏻 The Relentless Pursuit of MORE
👉🏻 Marketing Obsessed, Poor Delivery

Welcome to the LIFESTYLE BUSINESS SWEET SPOT. 

Our new business brand, The Course Cartel, is hellbent on achieving it, in living in it, and in helping other like-minded, ambitious good humans live in it too.

It's our ethos.

Our unique approach to "doing" online business.

Our mission.

And now, the focus of our 2.0 Podcast, aptly ALSO named the "Lifestyle Business Sweet Spot".

Today heralds the beginning of our new era as we introduce our NEW podcast to you, and just as importantly, our NEW business brand. The mission across both is the same; to cultivate a collective of people all aligned towards a common goal:

The Lifestyle Business Sweet Spot -- An impactful digital course business earning $250k+/year profit, working 5-hours days, with a mostly clear calendar and a lean, remote team.

We're NOT one of those businesses that sugarcoat the work to get there:

From start to finish, it's a three to five year journey.

We're also not for everyone, and that's okay.

Maybe scaling to the moon is more your jam? And if so, all power to you!

Maybe you'd rather follow and work with someone that sugarcoats and glosses over the hard work required in the early days. And if so, there are plenty out there.

But if you're ambitious, capable and willing, and you value a business that will ultimately grant you freedom, impact and happiness over relentless scale at any cost, we're for you.

In today's episode, we share more about the ethos behind the new brand and how, no longer content with being "just another course business", we're boldly stepping into our UNIQUE place to make REAL waves and a big difference.

Welcome to the Lifestyle Business Sweet Spot. 

In this podcast episode, we share: 
✔️ The BIG Opportunities We Saw To Stand Apart
✔️ How We Intend To Serve You Through The Entire Journey
✔️ Our Clarity Around Our Values
✔️ The Podcast

Well, this is (really) it.
After today, Stevie Says Social as a brand is officially no more.
It's been five years, a million cheers... and if I'm honest, a few tears.
Anyone that has started a little business from a seed of an idea in their mind and a knowing feeling that they were made for more will resonate with me when I say that it's a mighty effort.
At the beginning, it's exciting and exhilarating.
You grow.
You learn.
You change.
In many ways, it's the biggest lesson in personal development that you will EVER undertake.
It becomes a piece of you.
A part of you.
(And sometimes, it engulfs you.)

Each year, on your business birthday, you look back and you reflect -
On how far you've come,
On where you're going,
And on whether your path is still aligned with the one you set out and forged for yourself all those years ago.

Sometimes, the answer is yes.
And sometimes, like me, it's not.
And so, on the eve of Stevie Says Social's fifth business birthday, it's time to finally sunset this little brand that has truly given me so much.

Tomorrow, we evolve.
But on today's podcast episode -
It's a time to reflect on the past five years.
To celebrate how far we've come.
To THANK this little brand.
And to say goodbye, to make room for the next iteration of this business that has truly become 'bigger than me'.

In this 'reflection' podcast episode, we talk about: 
✔️ The beginning of the Stevie Says Social brand, and how it came to be; 
✔️ Honest reflections on the evolution of the business over the past five years; 
✔️ What Stevie Says Social has given ME personally, and the ripple effects of impact it has had; and 
✔️ What's coming next (and an emotional farewell!)
