The Amy Porterfield Show

Kick Procrastination To The Curb And Make Peace With Your To-Do List  You know those tasks in your business that feel like a reward? For me, it’s meeting with my leadership team or creatively strategizing for opportunities and projects we have coming down the line. Mmm-mmm. Pack my calendar with those tasks any day! But then there are some tasks that I see in Asana...and I would rather file taxes...

It’s important for you to know how the technology in your business works. And if you told me that 13 years ago, I might have just abandoned ship on the whole thing.  Lifestyle, financial, and time freedom...on the other side of learning and dealing with software? Not sure it’s worth it.  But after 13 years of tech trial, errors, and tragedy...I have some good news. You don’t have to be an expert a...

How Entrepreneurs Do The Work That Drives Them How’s your breathing today?  Deep and restorative? (Or did that question just prompt your first deep inhale of the day?) And your shoulders? High and tight OR relaxed, breezy, and unburdened by the weight of the world?  (I bet I can guess.)  The unfortunate reality is that “business as usual” can leave entrepreneurs anatomically all shook up. And I ha...

Go Live On Video With The Confidence Of A Pro Nothing like the words “live video” to make you break out in a sweat. I’m talking about the kind of nerves you haven’t experienced since your 8th grade “Under the Sea” dance. Let’s keep it real, live video is intimidating...especially when you’re just getting started.  Over the years, I’ve stumbled over words, lost my train of thought, and said the wro...

The books that built my business -- library card not required. This episode is a celebration for bookworms and those who consider themselves “podcast people” alike.  I wouldn’t say I’m a bookworm by any stretch of the imagination. (More of an audiobook and podcast girl, myself.) But I DO know that books have played a major role in the growth of my business...not to mention my growth as an entrepre...

Is It Time To Trade In Our Daily Affirmations? While this episode might not exactly feel like snuggling into a Barefoot Dreams blanket with a hot cup of chai… ...you, my friend, are still in for a feel-good episode….technically speaking. ;)  Today, I’m sitting down with the leading voice in the personal development and transformational space, Mel Robbins, to talk about anxiety and entrepreneurship...

How To Be The Boss During Big Life Changes On January 1, 2021, I woke up in a new state. Literally...and mentally, to be honest. The first six months of 2021 were some of the most challenging months I’ve ever had...and hardly anyone knew.   I experienced three major life changes back to back, and even though some of those changes were really good...change is still change.  It knocked the wind out...

How One Woman Turned Her Personal Tragedy Into A Digital Course With A Mission For Good My student, Bevin Farrand, is setting us ALL straight when it comes to the trips we’re not taking… ...the risks we’ve been avoiding... ...and the life we’re not living.  You see, after unexpectedly losing her husband and the love of her life, Bevin decided it was time to stop living on the sidelines of her life...

Digital Course Fails From a So-Called Professional (*facepalm*) Aaaah, bloopers. I love a good blooper in any form -- from America’s Funniest Home Videos to a Kristin Wigg outtake to a “fails” reel on Instagram.  But today the tables turn and it’s yours truly who’s in the hot seat. *GULP* I’ve experienced more blunders than I can count in my 13 years of online business and I’m sharing the best (or...

An Exclusive Module-by-Module Sneak Peek Into My Signature Program In all my years of podcasting, I have never done this.

In this extra special, first-of-it’s-kind episode, I’m breaking my own rules and taking you inside my signature program, Digital Course Academy.  I walk you throug...

3 Entrepreneurs Kicked Imposter Syndrome To The Curb (And You Can Too) I LOVE working with aspiring entrepreneurs...the ones still kicking it in the cubicle. The ones with notepads full of to-do lists and moments of inspiration scribbled down between meetings then stuffed into desk drawers. The ones just starting out and who have a million and one questions.  And because I’ve worked with so many f...

Worried they won't buy? How to choose your best-selling, gotta-have-it digital course topic.  The first digital course I ever created was on how to launch a book using social media. And when I finally launched my first-ever course into the world...it was a huuuuge flop.  I made a whopping $267 -- and I cried about it.  In retrospect, I can tell you my fatal flaw. I chose the entirely wrong digital...

The difference between a “one-to-one” and “one-to-many” business model I live for a good debate. Journey or Queen? Blog or podcast? Seinfeld or Friends? And while we’re at it...were they really on a break? But if we’re talking about building an online business or adding a digital asset to your existing business, there’s one debate that comes up over and over again... Digital course or one-on-one c...

The Digital Course Industry Is BOOMING -- Here’s Why Not many of my friends understand what I do for work.  Do you ever feel this way? Even sweet Hobie -- who’s been around my business since the day it started -- can barely wrap his head around how I bring home a paycheck every month. (He’d probably say “It has something to do with online courses, entrepreneurs...and confetti, somehow.”) If you’re...

How Online Business Owner Joy Foster Made $1 MILLION From ONE Digital Course (And Why One Course > Than Multiple ) What if you offered just ONE product in your business?  As an online entrepreneur, you most likely have one of two responses... You either sighed a big sigh of relief. (I don’t have to do 40 things at once!) Or, I just made you really nervous. (But I HAVE to do 40 things at once!) Wha...

How to Shed Self-Doubt, Find Inspiration, and Change Your Life (and the World) for the Better What kind of legacy do you dream of leaving?  What kind of impact will you make in this world?  If you don’t think it’s possible to feel crystal clear on how to take your passions and leverage them into massive purpose, adventure and impact after just one podcast episode ...you’ve never met Amy McLaren. A...

Online Entrepreneurs Tell All: Habits Edition I hate to admit it...but I’m a little bit nosey. I looooove getting a glimpse into the private moments and secret thoughts of people that I admire. I want to know what makes them tick, what makes it all work...and how I can get in on the good stuff! Well in today’s episode, I did a little bit of snooping...with permission, of course.  I reached out to...

What to do when your email list isn’t buying... I’m not a chef. If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that PostMates is higher on my speed dial than my sister (and I love my sister!) But every now and then, on a special occasion, I’ll break out my old 1990’s apron from my single apartment days and cook something for Hobie. (Okay, maybe by “cooking” I mean preheating the oven and peeling off...

Getting Lost Online? Start With Your Branding Branding can seem like the online marketing equivalent of a Birkin bag... ...you’ve heard of it, you’re not totally sure what it is, but it seems like all of the big names are into it.  And I’m with you. Branding felt like a “nice to have” and I put it off for many years in my business.  But Ryan Holtz, my guest for this episode, and I are determined t...

Glo Atanmo tells all about creating a passion led business and a blog that adds value to her business. Sometimes there’s a podcast guest that joins me on Online Marketing Made Easy and they leave me, well… speechless. Speechless because they live life on their own terms and their adventurous spirit can teach us a thing or two about this entrepreneurial life we might not have considered before.  Gl...

People often ask me, “Amy, what’s the secret to your success?” and I always say that I live and die by systems. In fact, without systems... I could not have a multimillion-dollar business and still have a life. I could not have a four-day workweek and actually make money if I didn’t have systems. Forbes recently stated that when you create systems in your business you can save up to two work hours...
