Caitlin Bacher is the CEO of Scale with Success®, a company dedicated to teaching coaches and course creators how to turn their online course into a 7-figure business without launching. Her company has rapidly grown to over $11m in revenue over the last few years with no signs of slowing down. Caitlin believes there’s more than one right way to build a business, and that if launching isn’t your cup of tea, you don’t have to do it.

She's learned this lesson the hard way after years of being trapped on the launch roller coaster - resulting in nothing but inconsistent revenue and sleepless nights wondering where her next sale would be coming from. The day she forgot to pick up her daughter from kindergarten while suffering from launch overwhelm was the last straw. She instantly realized that if this was what it took to build a million-dollar business, she wanted out - and she wanted out fast.

00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.079
Hello, everyone, welcome to today's Word of Mom Radio. Here

8
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.000
on the Word of Mom Media Network. I'm your host

9
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.920
Dory Di Carlo, and you know we are here week

10
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.359
after week, show after show, breaking those myths that morepreneurs

11
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.640
and business women, especially those of us building our businesses

12
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.359
from home, that we're just dabbling in between bake sales

13
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.560
and getting our nails done. We're not. We are smart,

14
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:49.880
we are savvy, and we are sharing the wisdom of

15
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.119
women in business and in life. And I'm looking forward

16
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.560
to introducing you to today's guest. Catherine Baucher is the

17
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.119
CEO of Scale with Success, a company dedicated to teaching

18
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.959
coaches and course creators how to turn their online course

19
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.799
into a seven figure business without launching. Her company has

20
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.959
rapidly grown to over eleven million in revenue over the

21
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.439
last few years, with no signs of slowing down, and

22
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:20.760
Caitlin believes that there's more than one right way to

23
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.319
build a business, and that if launching isn't your cup

24
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.840
of tea, you don't have to do it. She's learned

25
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.760
this lesson the hard way after years of being trapped

26
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:35.319
in the launch rollercoaster, resulting in nothing but inconsistent revenue

27
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.000
and sleepless nights wondering where her next sale would come from.

28
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.760
The day she got to pick up her daughter from

29
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.680
kindergarten while suffering from launch overwhelmed was the last straw.

30
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.480
She instantly realized that if that's what it took to

31
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.920
build a million dollar business, she wanted out and want

32
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.079
it out fast. And I could keep going on, but

33
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:58.879
I want to know how the end of this story

34
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.599
is really try transition. So with all that being said, Caitlin,

35
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:04.319
welcome to Word of Mom Radio.

36
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:06.760
Thank you so much. I'm really happy to be here.

37
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.879
I'm excited to have you share your journey with us,

38
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.280
and I would love for you to finish that whole story,

39
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:18.240
because that had to just be the panic moment, that

40
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.680
aha moment of going wait a second year, something's gotten him.

41
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.960
Yeah, And it's funny because you know, I wish I

42
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.159
could say that after that moment I realized I forgot

43
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.360
to pick up my daughter from school. She was in

44
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.120
kindergarten at the time, so she was obviously very upset.

45
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.800
I wish that everything instantly changed for me, but in

46
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.319
fact it didn't. So shortly there after I ended up

47
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.800
joining a mastermind where there were a lot of different

48
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.719
course creators and all kinds of different niches, and there

49
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.800
was this one guy, and he sold an online course

50
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.400
that was all about how to declutter your home, and

51
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.520
he was making over three hundred thousand dollar dollars per

52
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.879
month without launching, and at the time, my mind was

53
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.560
blown because I didn't even know that was possible. Like

54
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.120
all I ever heard about was this messaging that you

55
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.360
have to keep launch launching you know, yes it's hard,

56
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.360
yes you don't like it, and yes you have to

57
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.639
do it. And just the idea that he was able

58
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:25.039
to sell his course consistently without launches really helped open

59
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.680
up a whole new world of sales and marketing methodology

60
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.120
to me. And in that moment, I really realized that,

61
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.080
you know, I don't actually have to run my business

62
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.000
this way if I don't want to. There are other

63
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.560
ways to do things out there. And so that was

64
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.240
the moment that everything changed. I you know, I came

65
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.000
up with a plan. I got to work. I started

66
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.680
selling my course on autopilot without launching, and within the

67
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.879
first nine months of making that sweat from launching all

68
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.240
the time to selling it on autopilot. Within that nine months,

69
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.879
I made my first million from selling that one course.

70
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.719
And that was when I knew. I was like, I'm

71
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.479
never launching again. I am not going back.

72
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.839
When you talk about launching, those people that are starting

73
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.560
thinking of starting businesses and things like that, what do

74
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:21.199
you mean by that?

75
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:27.439
So, when it comes to selling courses and also sometimes

76
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:32.439
services or whether those are coaching or something else, typically

77
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.480
there's two ways to grow your business, right, There's the

78
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.079
launch model and the evergreen model. And so what the

79
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.040
launch model looks like is typically anywhere between two and

80
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:49.040
three months of intense list building and content distribution that

81
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.879
is all leading up to what's called an open cart,

82
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.519
and the open kart period can last anywhere between five

83
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.639
to seven days, and then nobody can buy your course

84
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.839
again again until your next launch, which is maybe six

85
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.439
months later or a year later. And what many course

86
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:11.199
creators find is that when their launch ends, so does

87
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.040
all of the momentum and the revenue that they've been

88
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.639
working so hard to generate. So it's basically radio silence

89
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.639
for your business until you begin the launch cycle all

90
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:25.199
over again. And this is a very high risk way

91
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.279
of selling your course, especially for course creators who are

92
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.000
making less than a million a year. They have a

93
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.000
tiny team or maybe no team at all, a non

94
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.000
existent ADS budget. And what I tell people all the

95
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.040
time is that if your course is generating less than

96
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.720
a million a year, the number one thing that you

97
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.879
really need to focus on is how to generate consistent

98
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.879
revenue so that you can start to get some real

99
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:54.000
traction in your business. So with an evergreen model, this

100
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.839
allows you to enroll new students into your programs on

101
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.319
an ongoing basis, not just once or twice a year,

102
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.199
which is great because it then puts you in a

103
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.079
position where you can grow over time. You can continue

104
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.839
to collect data on what marketing messages are resonating with

105
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.920
your audience and which need to be refined so you

106
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.600
have more opportunities to practice and get better.

107
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.120
Interesting let's fasic term definitions. Different people think of different things,

108
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:27.240
So when you think of launching, you think of this

109
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:33.560
huge thing as opposed to autopilot where that evergreen content

110
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.319
is there and continuing to grow and grow and grow,

111
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:43.240
which is why it's called evergreen because it doesn't stop

112
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.600
being green. So as you look, what do you see

113
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:52.040
the biggest mistakes that course creators' face when they're trying

114
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:57.240
to make that transition cabling growing from launching their courses

115
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.360
to that autopilot evergreens.

116
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.079
One of the things that really surprised me when I

117
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.759
was making the switch from launching to evergreen is that

118
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.680
it wasn't as simple as just repurposing all of the

119
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:17.199
launch content I had done before into an automated funnel.

120
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.680
So I honestly thought at the time that you know,

121
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.160
selling on autopilot was only about the tech. So I thought,

122
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.839
you know what, I'm going to take a recording of

123
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.519
my live webinar, I'm going to take all the emails

124
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.920
that I sent out before during that launch. I'm going

125
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.199
to take all of that content, and then I'm just

126
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.680
going to put it into an automated funnel. And what

127
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:44.120
I didn't understand is that the content that is inside

128
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:49.319
an automated webinar, inside of the evergreen funnel itself, including

129
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.360
all of the registration pages, emails, everything needs to follow

130
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:59.480
a completely different framework in order to capture the attention

131
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.480
of your audio and really move them into action. So

132
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.040
before I figure that out, I was definitely struggling to

133
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.439
make my automated funnel profitable. You know, I thought it

134
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.000
was just going to be as simple as, oh, I'll

135
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.120
just take what has worked before in a live launch

136
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.279
and I'm just going to repurpose that into an automated funnel.

137
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.279
And I see a lot of people make that mistake,

138
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.560
and I get it. It's like, well, if it worked live,

139
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.879
why wouldn't the same you know, content work well in

140
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:28.839
an automated funnel. And what I realized is that the

141
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.840
buyer's journey inside of an automated funnel is totally different

142
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.919
than the buyer's journey that's live. Let me give you

143
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:40.360
an example. If someone is hosting a live webinar, right,

144
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.159
they're there to answer questions. So you may deliberately put

145
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:50.440
something in your live webinar that promotes curiosity, maybe even

146
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.879
a little bit of confusion, because you want the audience

147
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.080
to then ask a certain question and you know they're

148
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:58.799
going to ask it, then they ask it, and then

149
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.360
you can answer it, and then it it's like an exchange, right,

150
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.039
But that's not possible if you're doing an automated webinar

151
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.080
because you're not there to answer questions live. And so

152
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:12.480
with an automated webinar, automated funnel altogether, you want to

153
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:16.279
make sure that you are being as clear as possible

154
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.399
so that there is no question for the viewer as

155
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.320
to whether or not this program is right for them.

156
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:28.480
And you know, I tell people all the time the

157
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.600
what you really want to focus on is consent and permission.

158
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.120
This is an education process. It's up to if they

159
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.320
decide that at that moment in time it's not the

160
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.759
best for them to enroll, that's okay, like maybe they'll

161
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.480
catch you later, maybe they'll you know, sign up again

162
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.759
next month or something like that. But it's just you

163
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.519
want to give them the right information so that they

164
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.679
can make a decision that is best for them.

165
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.200
I love the head answer, I really do. And it's

166
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.559
you know, it's amazing because when you think about it,

167
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.120
we really do. We think that, oh, yeah, we can

168
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.360
just move this like that, and we'd forget that you

169
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.919
can't have a Q and A if it's an evergreen content,

170
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.440
it's got to be able to answer its own questions,

171
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.000
and I'm sure that a lot of times people don't

172
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:14.679
realize that.

173
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:20.559
Yeah, And what happens is they'll take what previously worked live,

174
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.639
They'll put it in an automated funnel. They get maybe

175
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.600
you know, one or two sales, but nothing like the

176
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.600
consistent five or even six figure months that they would

177
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.440
be able to get if they were using Evergreen frameworks.

178
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.720
And so what happens is, you know, they repurpose the

179
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.720
live content it doesn't work, and then they make that

180
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.440
mean that, oh, I guess Evergreen just doesn't work for me.

181
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.159
I guess my audience will only buy if I'm doing,

182
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.480
you know, a big fancy live launch. And I hate

183
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.720
seeing that because the reality is that Evergreen can work

184
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.799
for anyone. It's just a matter of you know, of

185
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:04.679
and optimizing so that you're able to package the information

186
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.279
that you want to share with your audience in a

187
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.399
way that really makes sense to them.

188
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:12.639
Okay, how do you know when you are ready to

189
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:19.080
quit that launching and now start selling in an autopilot way?

190
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:26.039
So I like to think that being ready is a choice. Right.

191
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.440
There is no magical moment in time when all of

192
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.559
a sudden, like everything's going to align and you are

193
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.039
actually ready to move forward and take action, Like you

194
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.600
have this little checklist and you're like, oh, I've done this, this,

195
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.799
this and this, so that means I'm ready and now

196
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.120
I can move forward. In business, there is always going

197
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:49.679
to be uncertainty. So it's my belief that you are

198
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.519
ready when you make the commitment to be ready, when

199
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.679
you decide you want to be ready. It doesn't mean

200
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.159
that in that moment you're not going to feel unsure

201
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.200
or uncertain in or maybe a little nervous, maybe a

202
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.039
little excited. You know, it doesn't mean that you're not

203
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.879
that you are going to feel one hundred percent confident.

204
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:14.279
It's about having the courage to commit to being ready

205
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:19.240
to start working towards the thing it is that you

206
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.519
want to make happen, and you know, to be willing

207
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.799
to make mistakes along the way and pick yourself up,

208
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.000
learn from the mistakes, and just you know, keep going forward.

209
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.440
And I think that one of the hard things, especially

210
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:34.960
being a woman in business, is that a lot of

211
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:38.279
the messaging that we receive, especially as young girls, is

212
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.200
that mistakes are bad. We're not supposed to make mistakes,

213
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.759
We're not supposed to fail well, guess what. Men fail

214
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:49.480
all the time. They make tons of mistakes, they lose money,

215
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.480
they make money, they do this and that, and no

216
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:57.080
one is telling them that they're a failure. I've never

217
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:01.519
ever in my life had any man dm me on

218
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.240
Instagram and ask me, you know, well, how do I

219
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.679
know if this is going to work for me? Never

220
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.799
in my life I have them ask other questions like

221
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.440
well what's included? Or how much is it? Or you

222
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:15.759
know this and that the other. And I get so

223
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.720
many dms from women who are asking me like will

224
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.519
evergreen work for me? Like how do I know?

225
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:20.799
Da?

226
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.279
Da da da da? And it's because we've been trained

227
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.080
since birth to be afraid of making mistakes. And who

228
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:32.279
does that benefit? It certainly doesn't benefit us, right, And

229
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.080
I think it's really important that we begin to reframe

230
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:40.559
the way that we think about failure and making mistakes,

231
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:43.200
and we really start to understand that if you are

232
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:49.000
avoiding failure, you are avoiding growth, and there is nothing

233
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.080
just because you make a mistake or just because you

234
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.919
have a fail or anything like that. It doesn't mean

235
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.879
that you're not cut out to be a business owner.

236
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:03.240
It means that you have an opportunity to learn what

237
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:04.679
to do differently next time.

238
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:10.120
Right on that note, please think of what Caitlin just said.

239
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.399
We are going to take a quick break, say thank

240
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.639
you to our sponsors, and we'll be back here in

241
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.200
just a moment on Word of Mom Radio.

242
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.519
She is brave, she is bold, she is you, and

243
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.639
we want to tell your story. Are you ready to

244
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:31.159

248
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:46.600
In twenty seventeen, Unsilenced Voices was formed to help survivors

249
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:52.000
of domestic abuse and gender based violence worldwide. The organization

250
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:57.960
currently serves Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Ghana, and the USA. In

251
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:02.639
twenty twenty two, Unsilenced Voices gifted over thirty three thousand

252
00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:06.559
dollars to survivors in the USA and in Sire Leone.

253
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.799
There are over twenty six young girls who have been

254
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:14.399
rescued from sex trafficking and domestic abuse and now going

255
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:18.200
through vocational training school in order to better their lives.

256
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.799
We need your help. Donations are critical in order for

257
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.960
us to continue our work. We also need volunteers to

258
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:33.360
help with research and development. Please visit Unsilenced Voices dot

259
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.080
org for more information.

260
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.159
And we're back here on Ward of Mom Radio. I

261
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:43.240
am speaking with Caitlin Batcher, the CEO of Scale with Success.

262
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.759
I love what you said because it is so true

263
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:52.679
that women are so afraid to fail because we've been taught.

264
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.799
It's a reflection of us and I live by. There

265
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.039
was that old saying you win or you lose. No,

266
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:02.440
you win or you learn. And the thing is when

267
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:07.320
you start again. You're starting now from experience. It's amazing

268
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.320
how men will go and apply for a job that

269
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:15.080
they're forty percent qualified for. Women will wait until they

270
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:21.720
have every qualification. It's unreal and it's so important for us.

271
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:24.600
This is part of why Word of Mom Radio is here.

272
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.279
So we learn from each other, so we realize fail forward,

273
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.879
but it means you're moving your emotion. Everything isn't always

274
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.080
going to work, but you find what works for you

275
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.639
and then you continue to move on in that vein.

276
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.879
What kind of mind shift do we need to make

277
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.679
in order to have our business loan but reach for it,

278
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.559
generate that first million? What do we do? Where's that

279
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.240
shift coming from? Kaitlin, Well, there's.

280
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:57.519
Two things, really. Number one is that we need to

281
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.120
take accountability for managing our emotion. And I don't when

282
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.519
I say that, I don't mean that we need to

283
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.160
stuff our emotions away and pretend that we don't have

284
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.799
any feelings or anything like that. Taking accountability for managing

285
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:14.039
your emotions means getting therapy if you need it, if

286
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:16.799
you're in pyramidopause and you want hormones like, get those.

287
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.400
If you like whatever it is. It might be medicine,

288
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.640
it might be it might be something else. But it's

289
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:30.240
really important that we understand that you cannot make good

290
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.720
decisions in business if we are letting our emotions get

291
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.160
the best of us, and if we're believing all of

292
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.039
the kind of thoughts that can run through our head

293
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:43.559
at any given moment. We have so many thoughts throughout

294
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.200
the day. I can be feeling great at breakfast, and

295
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:49.400
by lunchtime, I can be feeling like it's the end

296
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.400
of the world. Right. It's important that we not let

297
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:58.480
those feelings which come and go drive our business decisions.

298
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:03.440
And when it comes to managing your emotions, it is

299
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:10.839
not about controlling other people. We cannot control what other

300
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:14.799
people do or don't do. All we can control is

301
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.880
the way that we respond to it. So managing our

302
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:19.119
emotions number one.

303
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:19.599
Right.

304
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.359
The second thing is that you need to measure your results.

305
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.799
One of the things that I love teaching people, women

306
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.440
in particular, is how to use data, how to track data,

307
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:35.039
how to read it, how to interpret it, how to

308
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.839
understand what the data is telling you. When you are

309
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:44.079
running something like an evergreen funnel that's automated, you're collecting

310
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.079
data every single day, data based on what emails are

311
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.359
being opened, what pages are being clicked through, all of

312
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:57.200
these different things. And the really great thing about it

313
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:01.319
is that if you ground yourself in those numbers, running

314
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:06.000
your business almost becomes a paint by numbers project. Right,

315
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.519
if this number is high, do this, if this number

316
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.000
is low, do that, And you're just kind of going

317
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.160
through it and making very logical decisions, and the act

318
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:22.319
of growing your business starts to become fun and starts

319
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.799
to feel like a puzzle that you're solving, as opposed

320
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:30.359
to this high pressure situation where you're really letting your

321
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.319
emotions get the best of you. So managing your emotions

322
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:39.359
and measuring your results are the two most important things

323
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:42.119
when it comes to growing your business. And the other

324
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.000
thing I want to say is there is never an

325
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.279
endpoint when it comes to learning how to manage your emotions,

326
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.319
because with every next level of growth you're going to experience,

327
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.559
there's a new area that you will be able to

328
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:58.920
improve upon when it comes to managing your emotions right,

329
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:03.319
Because it might feel easy to manage your emotions around

330
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.200
you know, a ten dollars mistake, but what happens when

331
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.079
you make a hundred dollars mistake, a thousand dollar mistake,

332
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.680
one hundred thousand dollar mistake, a million dollar mistake. As

333
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:15.599
your business is growing, you are going to be making

334
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:20.799
those kinds of mistakes. And the cool thing is, you

335
00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:23.519
don't have to make a million dollar mistake when your

336
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:27.039
business is generating ten thousand dollars a year or something

337
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.720
like that, but you will work. You will eventually work

338
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:36.960
up to that and having the understanding that every mistake

339
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.960
is an opportunity for you to practice resilience, to practice

340
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:44.359
how to bounce back from it, to practice how to

341
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:48.839
learn from it so that you will be able to

342
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.000
overcome bigger and bigger mistakes.

343
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.559
Now I'm going to switch over. What are the big

344
00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:00.759
myths those creators believe when it comes to growing a

345
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.119
million dollar force business.

346
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:06.720
So I think that one of the big myths that

347
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.279
people have is they really think that, like, at some

348
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:13.880
point their education is going to be done. At some

349
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:16.440
point they're going to know everything that they that there

350
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:19.240
is to know, and like things are just going to

351
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.880
be really easy. And the reality is that things do

352
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:28.039
not get easier, but you get better, right, So things

353
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:34.480
are always going to be increasing in the complexities and

354
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.319
the challenges and all of that. But the cool thing

355
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.319
is that you are growing right alongside with it.

356
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:40.720
Right.

357
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:42.799
It's kind of like if you think about, you know,

358
00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:46.680
like working out or training for a marathon or something

359
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:49.640
like that, you're not expected to go from couch to

360
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:53.359
marathon overnight. Nobody does that that's how you're going to

361
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.640
like strain your muscles or do something. But it's about

362
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:02.559
being consistent over time and gradually increasing your strength. And

363
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.880
it's the same thing when it comes to growing your business.

364
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:11.079
So really being able to have that long term view

365
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.519
and really understand that this is not just about getting

366
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:20.279
overnight results. It's about being consistent and moving forward even

367
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.359
when things go get hard. And if things are hard,

368
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:27.440
it's Okay, things can be challenging and fun, right, as

369
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.680
long as we're not kind of like beating ourselves up

370
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.000
along the way. So that's one myth is that you know,

371
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:36.599
we think, oh my gosh, like once I hit this level,

372
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:40.079
everything's going to be super easy. That just doesn't exist

373
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:40.480
at all.

374
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.039
What's the difference with the course that flops and the

375
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:46.359
way it takes millions?

376
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:50.440
So the difference between a course that flops and one

377
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:54.039
that makes millions is the way that you are able

378
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:57.279
to connect with your audience and the way that you

379
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:02.960
are able to articulate the specific pain points that they

380
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:09.559
are experiencing and give them an opportunity to and highlight

381
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:14.000
what specifically makes your approach different. So let me explain

382
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.640
a little bit. What I see a lot of people

383
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:21.319
doing is they'll have a lot of knowledge about a topic,

384
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:24.519
right because they're experts in it, so they have, you know,

385
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:25.839
they have a lot of experience with it. They have

386
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:29.039
a lot of knowledge about it. And so what they're doing,

387
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:32.160
the kind of content that they're creating and putting out

388
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:36.960
online to build their audience is going over people's heads.

389
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:39.799
It's not meeting them where they are. And what you

390
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:43.599
have to understand is that when people are scrolling the

391
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:48.200
internet looking to solve their problem, they're not aware of

392
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.160
the root causes of their problem. They're just aware of

393
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:53.759
the symptoms. And so the more that you can speak

394
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:58.480
to the symptoms, the more you're going to attract people

395
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:03.160
who have those specific symptoms and there are things that

396
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.119
your course can help them solve. And I get it.

397
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:10.160
It can be really easy for you as the expert

398
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.359
to want to go through and say, oh, you know what,

399
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:14.440
like the root cause of your problem is this, da

400
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:16.640
da dah, But they're not ready to hear all of

401
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:19.480
that yet. Now, you can certainly address that in your program,

402
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.880
right because you really want to people have a real transformation,

403
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:25.079
you know, get to the root cause all of that.

404
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:28.559
But they're not ready for that yet in the free content.

405
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.680
And so the more you can speak to the specific

406
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:34.920
symptoms that they're having, the more you're going to make

407
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.440
that initial connection. Now, what you also need to keep

408
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:43.839
in mind is the importance of presenting your method, your formula,

409
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:49.000
your process, your system, whatever it is, as unique and different,

410
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:53.960
because when people come to you, they have probably bought

411
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:56.920
all the books, bought all the courses, worked with all

412
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.119
the coaches listened to all the podcasts, done all of

413
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.519
things in order to solve this problem, and they still

414
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:06.799
have the problem, and most importantly, they still want to

415
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:09.680
solve it, and so they're still willing to try again.

416
00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:12.759
They're still willing to invest the time, the money, the energy,

417
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.880
all of that into solving their problem, and so they're

418
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.119
actively looking for it. Now. If I go to you know,

419
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:22.000
your social media page or something like that, or your

420
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:23.920
podcast or your blog or wherever it is that you're

421
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:29.000
putting out free content and you are talking about their

422
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:32.960
problems and you're talking about your solution in the same

423
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.319
way as everyone else, they're never gonna sign up for

424
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.880
anything because they're gonna make a snap decision whether or

425
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.400
not it's the right decision. They're going to make the

426
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:45.920
snap the decision and think to themselves, oh, you know

427
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:48.319
what this sounds like all those other things I did before.

428
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:50.240
I'm looking for something different. So I'm going to go

429
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:51.599
on to the next person.

430
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.200
Something to really leave our listeners thinking about. And as

431
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:58.319
we're doing that, what do you want to say to

432
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:01.440
that person out there, Caitlin, who is listening, who's trying

433
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:04.200
to figure out how to get their courses to work

434
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:06.480
and everything else. What do you want to leave our

435
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.119
listeners with and how may they reach out to you?

436
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:13.440
So what I really want to leave everyone with is

437
00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:17.519
that growth doesn't happen overnight, and it's all about taking

438
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:22.960
those tiny steps, being consistent and being focused on the

439
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:26.079
outcome that you are looking to create in your life

440
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.559
and business and not letting our emotions get the best

441
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:31.799
of us and kind of tripped up along the way.

442
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:34.160
I would love for everyone to join me. I do

443
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:37.720
have a free masterclass. It's called how to Generate launch

444
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.880
sized Revenue without Launching, and that's available on my website,

445
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.200
Caitlinbatcher dot com. You can go there. You can sign

446
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.799
up for it for free today. But that's where I

447
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.359
really unpack the specific method that I teach when it

448
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:54.200
comes to selling your course without launching.

449
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:57.799
I'm definitely going to sign up for that. I'm really interested.

450
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:00.079
I'm interested to hear what you have to say, and

451
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.680
I really hope that you will reach out. All of

452
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.119
Caitlin's links are going to be live. I know you're

453
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:08.920
out there, moms, I know you're out there women, and

454
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:12.160
you're wondering how to get this course going. How to

455
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.799
generate revenue. Take a listen, learn. Let's face it, we

456
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:18.839
say it all the time. When you win, we all win.

457
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.799
So it is all about the abundance of the universe

458
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.599
because guess what, there's no hit ceiling on. Oh there's

459
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.440
too many courses. You just missed the mark. You can

460
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.400
do it. You can do it, Caitlyn can do it.

461
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:36.200
We can all do it. And she's giving us a

462
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.200
roadmap to be able to follow, and that's a wonderful thing.

463
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:42.920
So I thank you so much Caitlin for taking the

464
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:45.000
time to come and share with us today. I'm Lord

465
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.359
of mom Radio. Thank you my pleasure, and for all

466
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.000
of you tuning in. We're going to close out with

467
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:55.279
our fabulous theme song from Smith's Sisters and the Sunday Drivers.

468
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:58.880
So till next time, this is Dori di Carlo saying,

She is adds value and hope.

Has proved to be brave. See it's never too late,

489
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:17.079
never time to behave reaching for dreams doesn't matter. The

CEO

Caitlin Bacher is the CEO of Scale with Success®, a company dedicated to teaching coaches and course creators how to turn their online course into a 7-figure business without launching. Her company has rapidly grown to over $11m in revenue over the last few years with no signs of slowing down. Caitlin believes there’s more than one right way to build a business, and that if launching isn’t your cup of tea, you don’t have to do it.

She's learned this lesson the hard way after years of being trapped on the launch roller coaster - resulting in nothing but inconsistent revenue and sleepless nights wondering where her next sale would be coming from. The day she forgot to pick up her daughter from kindergarten while suffering from launch overwhelm was the last straw. She instantly realized that if this was what it took to build a million-dollar business, she wanted out - and she wanted out fast.
