Quick share today that brought a smile to my face…

At the end of every quarter, I do all the usual stuff:

  • Review the previous quarter's numbers, goals, etc.
  • Try to learn from the hits and misses
  • Set goals for the next quarter

But I also do something fun…

Look back through alllllllllll the self-reported wins from our coaching clients (in Q1 we had 1,113!) and pick out the Top 5 that delight me the most.

Not necessarily the biggest, or the craziest, or the most jaw-dropping (though some of them are)...

But the ones that simply make me appreciate the journey of building a business.

Thought I'd share 5 of my favs with you for a quick dose of inspiration to kick off your week.

#1 and #2: Katie and Michelle Double Their Sales

OK, so maybe I lied about some of these not being crazy. :)

Because numbers-wise, these wins from Katie Weber and Michelle Morrow are pretty dang impressive:

That feeling of going from traction to scaling in your business is priceless. It seems impossible until it happens. But once the snowball gets rolling, it can accelerate so much faster than you might think.

#3: Bradley Charbonneau's "Joke" Course:

It's human nature to tell ourselves our ideas are bad or dumb or a "joke" that nobody would buy. That's why so many people never even try their business ideas.

So I looooved this win from Bradley, an online course creator who took action on an idea he wasn't even sure would work at first—and came away with 2x the sales and 2x the impact.

What idea are you telling yourself won't work right now...that just might if you tried?

#4: Rajiv Sees Life from a "Dead" List

Rajiv had plenty of big revenue wins to share throughout the quarter, but it was this seemingly small one that brought a big smile to my face:

If you've ever built an email list, you've experienced that soul-crushing feeling of sending an email and hearing nothing but crickets. 

Or of going a few months without sending anything and fearing you squandered your relationship with subscribers.

That's why one of the first things we help clients do is establish a simple plan that keeps your list engaged (and ready to buy) without requiring you to spend hours creating content every week.

As you can see, it doesn't take long to reignite that audience relationship.

#5: Chaitra Hits 6 Figures in Her First Year Back

I shared Chaitra's full story in a previous email, so here's the quick version:

After over a year of maternity leave, her freelance clients and leads had all dried up—and she was pivoting to a new niche (building websites for ecommerce stores). Yet a year later she was reporting this:

By securing guest appearances in front of other people's audiences, she was able to become a leader in her niche and build a thriving business in her first year back.

Again, it just shows that—with the right plan—your business can grow so much faster than you think.
