The Fearless Launching Show with Anne Samoilov

Be honest - do you ever feel like something is holding you back in your business? No matter what your definition of success is - if you haven’t reached that - you might wonder when it’s going to happen for you. And I think we can all get that… Have you ever experienced that moment in your business when you look in the mirror and ask, “What am I doing wrong? What can I do better? Why isn’t this wor...

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a repeating loop? Like you just didn’t know what to do next? Maybe you’re overwhelmed? Maybe you’re just confused? And if you could figure out what the problem was - you could take at least one step in the right direction… Well, this often happens when we’re doing something new in our business... When you’re creating an online course, a coaching program, m...

You’ve got a course, a coaching program, maybe a waitlist for both, you’ve been working day/night to create the content, to connect… And you know you want to launch it -- soon. So, you give yourself a pop quiz. “Am I ready to launch?” Sometimes it’s hard to answer this, right? There are so many pieces to juggle, create and do before you launch anything! What if you had a simple way to know FOR SUR...

Does this sound familiar? If you’re an online entrepreneur, you’re likely thinking about growing your email list, getting more traffic, building your platform, finding the right social media strategy… And all of these have one thing in common. You’re just looking to reach and connect with more real people. It’s so easy to forget that last part - the real people. And in our quest for automation, we...

Has this ever happened to you? You finally set the date you’re going to unveil your product, your course, maybe your first online program to the world. Feeling so ready do this. But then the date comes and goes… so you push it back for real. And then you keep pushing back the date. Not just once. But twice. Maybe three times. Now, there could be a real unavoidable reason for this and there often i...

I’m curious about something... Actually a few things... Are you a planner? Do you plan things out, check off the boxes, and never miss a step? Do you like to map out broad strokes without a ton of detail? Do you find yourself taking action on something every single day? Are there days/weeks/months in between your action (especially as it relates to what you want to launch)? Do you often postpone y...

It sounds like the dream scenario. You build a small service based business, get so busy that your business is bursting at the seams…within a year you're at the six figure mark…and then within three years a simple shift in what you offer to your clients lands you with a seven figure business… Sounds amazing, right? Today's guest talks about her journey from starting an online business to now being...

Have you ever thought of creating a subscription box business? Whether you’re an online business owner, a course creator, a physical business owner - offering a subscription box is a great way to add a high touch offering and one that brings in recurring revenue.

Would you believe that self-awareness is your biggest (and often hidden) business super power? How well do you know yourself? I don’t mean your likes, dislikes, dreams or your life story, but really do you know what makes you tick? Today’s guest went on a journey to really figure out what made her tick in her business, how to avoid duplicating past negative workplace practices she’d experienced......

Let’s get real. Sometimes it’s hard to know if you’re making progress on your business. You show up week after week - publish the podcast, write the newsletter, host the webinar. And even when you see more people paying attention, more likes, more people opt-in...it can feel a bit unclear. Are you going in the right direction? Are you saying and doing the right things? Over the years I’ve seen man...

The last time our guest was on the show, I received more emails than I expected... I think people really connected with the idea of clutter and how it affects our daily life. JoAnn Krall teaches entrepreneurs and regular ‘ole peeps who are doing various things in the world, how to organize their homes, businesses, and life. But today we’re talking about a problem that is near and dear to the heart...

Today I wanted to rant a bit about a question I think hits the core of why most people get stuck on launching… They aren’t clear on what comes first. Is it the product? Is it the people? Or is it the process? Today’s episode is going to be short - I think. We’re going to talk about a topic I think we all need to be reminded of… a question really… What comes first - the product, the people or the p...

What is it email segmentation? Why should you use it? How to get started using it on your next launch? That’s what we’re talking about on today’s episode of the podcast.

And here’s why it’s so important… Segm...

Today’s episode dives into two strategies you can use that - don’t require a ton of technical knowledge or built in audience...AND can be built out as your business grows!

It doesn't surprise me... Depending on your business - you want more clients, or a better launch, or a more streamlined business. Here's the thing. You know all those things we learn and promptly ignore about business, when we’re getting started? Like being specific, talking to one person, giving yourself time, understanding who your audience is and creating what they want? They work and today’s g...

Are you an artist or creative entrepreneur? If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overworked, no time to create art, or do that thing your passionate about - it could be as simple as creating a few key systems in your business. Now on the surface, the word systems might make your eyes glaze over. Systems definitely don’t immediately bring to mind creativity or flow… But this week, my guest shares how s...

We often hear from people that we need to be consistently publishing content to our community in order to build trust. But how much is enough? Can we be consistent in some areas and then a little bit more fluid in others? What happens when we go off the grid EVERYWHERE? Are we damaging our businesses and brands by not being consistent? That’s what we’re talking about on today’s episode. For full s...

I’m not going to lie. I love analogies and puns. That’s why this week, I’m taking you into my brain to look at something I’m calling the “Layer Cake Launch Strategy”... I think we’d all agree that launches have become multi-layered and often include one main launch strategy, surrounded by other LAYERS of social marketing.   In today’s episode here’s what we cover: What’s the most important thing t...

If you struggle staying focused or knowing what your priorities should be (as it relates to growing your business) - today I’m going to share why I set monthly themes AND why you should do the same. Setting themes whether they are weekly, daily or even a monthly theme is great ways to regain that focus, feel less overwhelm, and wake up each day knowing exactly what to work on… Let’s dive in. For f...

Communication challenges are something we all face in business from time to time, especially if we offer products & services to our audience. The problem is simple. We believe we’re not saying the right things to the right people at the right time or in the right way. It always comes back to that! In today’s episode, we’re going to walk through the 5 most common launch communication challenges...

What’s the most challenging part of putting a launch together? For me, it’s the sales page. I love getting to know my audience, talking to each person one on one, really digging into what’s challenging each person. I LOVE connecting with people. And yet - when I sit down to write the sales page for my online courses, I often freeze. The blank page stares back at me literally challenging me to soun...

Are you on online course or digital product creator? If so, then listen up. We all know that people aren’t finishing online courses. They are buying and buying and buying, but rarely getting through your content. So, if you’ve ever wondered why people shell out their hard earned cash, seem really gung ho, but then either disappear after a few weeks of being hot & heavy in your Facebook group, you...

You are so ready for this. The dates are on the calendar. Team has been hired. Pages are being designed and developed. Everything is moving forward - and you feel great. Confident that you’ve thought of everything to make next launch a success. You planned it out. Took the time. Talked to your ideal customers. One of the best things you can do for yourself right now is to ask - Have I missed anyth...

A few years ago I shared how I like to do two big reviews of my business. One mid-year business review and one at the end of the year. Whether you’re just getting started in your business or you’ve been up and running for years, this one of those times when you get to reflect, pause and then make decisions about the next 3-6 months. They can be invaluable to your growth. The more aware you are of...
