Ep 151The Best Business Investment I've Ever Made + Things to Consider Before You Invest in an Online Program
What’s been one of the most groundbreaking courses or programs you’ve enrolled in since starting your business?Since 2015 I’ve enrolled in more courses than I can count and have spent excess of $60,000 learning how to grow, market, and run my business. (Not something I had planned on when I initially started my business and thought I already knew what I was doing 🤷🏼♀️)I’ve invested in expensive business coaches and year-long programs. And to be completely transparent, many of them weren’t as helpful as I had hoped. (I’d say about 20% of the investments I’ve made over the years have been downright horrible and not worth the price) - typically programs based on bro-marketing and bro-psychology 🙄The other 80% got me the results I wanted (if I did the work required), introduced me to fellow business owners that I still talk to on the regular, and helped me validate how I want to run things in my own business.But very few have stood out and maintained the test of time. Very few have helped me create sustainable momentum and literally changed my life and business.Today on the podcast I’m sharing a new post all about the program that I can’t speak highly enough of and the community that I still interact with weekly. In this episode, I’ll be sharing what was different about this specific investment which will give you some insight into creating offers of your own!I'm also talking about important questions and considerations to make before making a bigger business investment.And I’ll be showing you what I was able to learn and focus on that truly generated growth (and income) in my business.Learn more about WAIM and see what bonuses I'm offering here!Read the show notes from today's podcast episode.Shoot me a message on Instagram @mindfulproductivityblog with any questions you have!xoxoSarahSend us Fan MailFind more resources over at SarahSteckler.comCome say hi on Instagram @sarahsteckler
