#213: 3 Steps to Take Before Your Digital Course Launches (Making Money without a Following or Email List)
One of the most asked questions I receive when I’m coaching my digital course creator clients is how can I make money fast?
Often when we are at the beginning of a new piece of business or are flat out new to business there is a very real need to earn some money.
But how do we do that? The answer isn’t what you’d expect here on the Digital Course Creator Podcast, but it is the answer I give to 90% of my clients when we work together. I’ve seen it work time and again for not just adding to a bank account and creating a little buffer, but also creating so much clarity for where the business should go and where you want it to go in the future.
It will save you mis-steps and hopefully a lot of heartache as you realize what you thought you wanted and what you thought others needed wasn’t really the answer.

I will say that this episode might be hard to listen to, I’m going to try my best to keep it focused on mindset, but I will talk about the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and how our family handled the situation to not only serve clients, but also to maintain our well-being.
