That is half two of my two half collection on the facility of preserving your launch painfully easy. I’m going to imagine that you’ve already listened to half one, which is the earlier episode. So I’m not going to recap, launch particulars what I imply by a launch and all of that form of factor. So go and take heed to that episode, should you haven’t already. On this episode, I’m going to be speaking to you concerning the launch interval. However significantly what I’m going to be doing is sharing the debrief and sharing my largest perception. My largest takeaway, my largest realization from this launch. And actually, as you may guess, from the title of this collection, it’s the energy of preserving issues painfully easy.

And I simply need to be trustworthy with you, that is the third time that I’m recording this episode. I really feel like each time I do a launch collection, the lesson or like actually, the theme of the launch is my lesson. And I get it in so many various layers. However for this launch, preserving issues painfully easy, I acquired that in the course of the launch in the course of the debrief. After which actually, whereas recording the primary try. And the second try at this episode, it was solely after I recorded the second try, and I used to be at an hour and I nonetheless couldn’t match the whole lot in.

I used to be like, Okay, I simply have to maintain it easy, and simply share my largest takeaway, and actually serving to you perceive what that’s and how one can apply it in what you are promoting. As a result of that is actually that can assist you and as a lot as I need to share so many issues I’ve like, it’s 1500 phrases of notes that I had written for this episode, and I’m going to be sharing quite a bit with you. However as an alternative of sharing so many various issues, which may all be their very own episode, I’m simply going to essentially maintain it easy. And maintain centered on the principle factor, which is about painful simplicity.

In order that’s what this episode goes to be about. And yeah, we’re simply gonna actually get began, I’ve acquired right here in my notes, among the issues that I discussed, partially one, I need to be sure that I shut these loops that I let you understand, the place sure issues landed. And I additionally in these episodes, love sharing the numbers. So I’m going to be doing that as nicely, I believe it’s so highly effective to only be listening to about different folks’s companies and their actual numbers. As a result of we are able to actually romanticize what’s going on for different folks. And we actually prefer to think about that everybody else is all the time having straightforward time. They’re simply doubling and tripling income yearly. And that isn’t the case, actually, for anybody.

And so simply listening to concerning the ups and downs, I hope is de facto useful for you. And simply form of like calms your nervous system slightly bit to only know, like, you don’t must be doubling what you are promoting yearly to achieve success. So the principle factor that we’ll speak about is painful simplicity. So I simply actually need to begin there, to just be sure you perceive what this implies and the way it will help you in what you are promoting. So going into this launch, we have been centered on actually taking out complexity.

And coming off the again of the launch that we had in June, the place we had been doing so many various new issues, and I talked about it within the debrief episode I did for that launch, I’ll hyperlink it up within the present notes for you. However I used to be simply placing a lot stress on myself, like having had the twins in February and nonetheless just about like being in that postpartum interval. And like going via this complete id disaster of going from mainly like two years in the past, not having any youngsters. And now I’ve a daughter and two sons. And so it was only a lot to wrap my thoughts round. And I simply really feel like throughout that launch, and it’s all the time like, I really like a launch interval. It’s simply such a superb container to essentially see your self and see what’s occurring in your thoughts.

And so I put a lot stress on myself and actually was simply on this mindset of like, we have to create this new basis. And now that Renae is right here, who’s my advertising and marketing supervisor and we lastly have somebody on the workforce who is aware of advertising and marketing as a result of I didn’t know something and actually simply not recognizing that I do know issues about advertising and marketing. And I can belief myself and I don’t have to similar to not belief myself anymore in terms of that. However actually like off the again of that launch the place there was so many issues occurring and in comparison with final 12 months once we had launches actually been a easy course of. Spawning up as a result of it was me and Daisy and only a few different individuals who have been serving to to run the launch, I used to be working three days per week and I used to be pregnant and all these different issues occurring in my private life, actually nice issues occurring.

However I needed to maintain issues easy, I didn’t actually have an choice to not have issues be easy. And so within the June launch, and us simply having like, much more hours to place to our use in terms of just like the workforce working. We simply added loads of issues. And actually for this launch, I needed to maintain it easy and never try this. And I’m so glad that we did I’ll undergo the numbers. However I simply actually need to articulate what we have been capable of see from having the launch be easy. So once I say it was easy, that is particularly what I imply.

We did virtually precisely the identical launch that we did in January 2022. So we did 5 launches in 2022. January was essentially the most profitable by way of signups we had I believe it was 50 or 51, signups. After which the opposite launches, we had 9 signups. After which it was like 22 22 22, for the opposite launches. So once we had within the June launch as nicely, we had actually tried to consider, okay, what’s the messaging and like, all of those various things, that are useful inquiries to be asking, however I talked about in that debrief episode, however as a result of we had put a lot stress on the messaging, we form of like miss some very key factors. And so they wanted to be added final minute and issues like that it was simply so fascinating that and perhaps you possibly can relate to this, while you’re in that mindset of like I have to get this factor excellent, you truly find yourself with out even realizing it lacking some very fundamental key apparent issues.

So what we did was we went to the messaging by way of speaking about planning correctly as a perfectionist, energy planning and getting out of your individual approach, like all of the issues I often speak about, however actually specializing in planning correctly. And the issues that I talked about in that January launch, we determined that we have been going to do that similar messaging once more. And actually, I needed to do that and do the identical format with the podcast launch that we had been doing final 12 months. So doing a podcast episode each different day, 5 of them within the lead as much as open cart after which open cart the place individuals are signing up that goes for per week. No upsell, no down promote. Like when the doorways closed, a closed like very, very fundamental, we ship out emails, there are some Instagram posts, there are some podcast episodes. That’s actually it.

There’s nothing fancy about it. Final 12 months, I made a decision to do the podcast episodes as the best way to promote PGSD. As a result of that was best for me. Individuals already listened to the podcast. And in order that’s what I went with. And so in terms of, yeah, actually simply preserving it easy, it was about, okay, let’s go and try this. Once more, I actually needed us to have the ability to debrief and simply see on the finish of the launch, what went on as a result of in June, it was so onerous to inform, as a result of there was a lot chaos, there was so many transferring items. So many issues have been totally different. We modify the messaging, we had modified the format of the launch, we’ll make him actually fast selections that felt actually inspiring and thrilling.

So we didn’t discover it on the time, however making fast selections and altering issues. And there was only a lot occurring, I actually suppose that was coming from me simply being on this like inner chaos and simply calibrating it to my new life as a mother of three. And so that basically, I believe confirmed up within the enterprise as nicely. And so we had the launch format messaging, loads of the emails have been the identical because the January launch or like up to date ones of that, however the identical electronic mail simply with a couple of minor edits to them. We simply needed to maintain it so simple as doable. I redid the launch episodes, or sorry, not the launch episodes, the Planning collection episodes, the 5 that went out earlier than the doorways opened.

And in hindsight, it could have been higher to only maintain them the identical. I believe the episodes that I did have been useful however I additionally suppose it wasn’t the factor that moved the needle for me to spend I’m about to work weeks excited about that recording that being in drama about ought to I rerecord it once more, as a result of it’s not adequate. And what I actually acquired from this launch and simply us having the ability to do just about the identical factor, as we had finished beforehand, is seeing why we didn’t have the signup numbers that we had needed to have.

And I’ll speak particularly once more about that quickly, we had a aim of 88 signups, and we had 9 folks enroll. And I do know precisely why, as a result of we saved this launch easy. So we may see what went on. And so actually, this was about us not having sufficient site visitors, like sufficient folks seeing the launch. And likewise the individuals who have been seeing the launch weren’t getting the worth that they wanted to get. And when the launch, we have been altering the message and the whole lot else, we couldn’t see that I undoubtedly couldn’t see that perhaps Renae like, she is ready to take a look at issues otherwise, to me, had much more consciousness round that.

However for me, I used to be so centered on the launch, being such an enormous factor, and placing a lot stress on the launch itself, that I wasn’t pondering of the enterprise as a complete, and the opposite issues that go on that help the launch, and that basically help the folks that we’re serving. And so what this regarded like, was that when it got here to podcast episodes, emails that have been getting despatched out Instagram, we simply weren’t delivering the worth that we beforehand had. And I may really feel it. And likewise, like, I used to be so busy being on this mindset of like, I have to construct the enterprise greater. And I should be like, mainly virtually like, although, like content material creation is beneath me. Like I wasn’t pondering of it in these phrases. However that’s basically the mindset I used to be in as a result of I used to be like, you understand, I’m occurring to larger and higher issues.

And now that I’ve a workforce, I don’t should be within the content material creation. Additionally, I actually hadn’t acknowledged the worth of what I do, though one in every of my classes from the final launch was understanding the worth of what I do. I didn’t actually get that lesson absolutely, till this launch, as a result of I had been like, Okay, I’m creating mental property and new concepts, however actually appeared like company and content material, like I’m doing that, however via content material via the podcast episodes, via the Instagram posts within the Instagram Tales, via the emails. And though we are able to repurpose issues from the previous, and though different folks can write an electronic mail like me, though we are able to like pull issues out and like put it collectively in these codecs, that creating that content material, and simply bringing the vitality that I deliver to it once I’m actually simply in circulation.

And I’m similar to having fun with myself and nerding out on the non-public growth like that’s so precious to the enterprise that I’d be like, No, I’ve to consider just like the operations. However I used to be on this mindset too with it of like, I have to determine that complete factor out. And so I used to be so busy being overwhelmed by it, that I didn’t actually even do any of it. And simply actually like within the early months, I believe it was in Might. After which in June, I used to be wanting to rent an operations supervisor, I spent most of my work time making an attempt to try this. After which I regarded via my energy planning as nicely, like a lot of the time spent within the lead as much as this launch was on like on the brink of prepare like planning and excessive stage pondering and like being on this query of like, what’s my zone of genius?

And like, what’s my worth that I add to the enterprise now that we’ve got this workforce and and the place do I slot in with this and all of that. And it was like, beneath my nostril the entire time. And I simply didn’t see it till I had this launch be easy sufficient. That as an alternative of being like, nicely, perhaps the messaging was terrible. Effectively, perhaps it was it’s like, oh, no, truly, as a result of I’m not having any drama or modifications with these different issues I can simply see. There weren’t sufficient folks seen the launch. And the worth that these individuals who have been seeing the launch have been getting wasn’t the place it wanted to be.

And I simply wasn’t placing vitality into it. I wasn’t placing effort into it actually as nicely. I used to be creating content material inside PGSD and it felt to me like I hadn’t even differentiated in my thoughts or actually in my calendar that simply because I’m in this sort of zone that I’m in proper now doing issues for PGSD, creating the get out of your individual approach problem, doing fairly a couple of bonus one on one calls with PGSDers as a part of that problem and like loving that, that the individuals who aren’t but in PGSD weren’t getting that. And that though I used to be in that state, that that was simply inside PGSD, and that wasn’t being shared exterior of PGSD.

And so when it got here to our podcast episodes, I used to be doing the final minute, just like the day earlier than it must exit or loads of like, I don’t have an episode this week, let’s simply repurpose one thing that we all know goes to be actually useful or that was actually fashionable. And that’ll nonetheless be adequate. And it’s adequate. However it’s actually like one of many largest realizations inside this that I acquired is concerning the energy of and I assume it’s form of just like the compound impact, however the energy of exhibiting up.

And while you’re sowing the seeds, so to talk, like and future you goes to do the harvest, that I hadn’t realized that me in 2022 was harvesting loads of what earlier me previous me had created, that I had been exhibiting up sharing on the podcast, like a whole bunch of episodes on Instagram emails, and doing all of that form of factor. And that at the same time as I started to decelerate with that final 12 months, I wasn’t feeling the, just like the ache of that the impact of that final 12 months. And even I’d say just like the 12 months earlier than, I had decelerate on that, too. I didn’t really feel that till this 12 months.

And it actually took, I’d say two years to really feel the impact of me not exhibiting up absolutely for the enterprise in terms of content material creation and actually placing my coronary heart and soul into the podcast episodes. And actually simply giving them loads of vitality, I’ll say as a result of often I write simply fast notes. And I’m actually simply speaking to my very own self teaching, the teaching that I’m giving to my shoppers I’ve labored with now over 1000 shoppers via one on one teaching initially, and now via PGSD. So I like to sharing these insights and observations and my actual experiences. And once I had been reflecting again, I’m fairly certain I may pinpoint precisely once I switched mindset.

I’m fairly certain it was April 2020, which I do know coincides with COVID, and all of that. However what I used to be excited about was, I need to have a child. And now I want to start out getting ready the enterprise for me to not must be there for the for the newborn. My enterprise is de facto my first child, for my enterprise to succeed. And I actually switched into this mindset of like, I want to determine the best way to not have the enterprise rely on me. And likewise by advantage of that, which I hadn’t realized was been on this mindset of like, due to that, I want to determine the way it can succeed with out me, bringing the identical vitality to podcast episodes and with out me creating new concepts and training instruments and all of this sort of factor.

And so there was nonetheless developments over these three years when it got here to that. However actually, it was simply I took a step again in my thoughts and went into like I should be centered on operations and hiring and coaching PGSD coaches and like ensuring all our PGSDers are getting even higher outcomes. If I’m in my first trimester feeling actually nauseous and like, not capable of present up and all of that, like I need to have the enterprise have the ability to succeed with out me having to be transferring the whole lot for daily. And I simply actually hadn’t seen the influence of that as a result of I used to be nonetheless harvesting the seeds that my previous self had sown and I’m so grateful for that.

And likewise in so some ways as nicely. I had this 12 months been placing final 12 months 2022 on a pedestal it was our or has been our highest income 12 months we made 600,000 Australian {dollars}. I’m fairly certain of to my head, the bills got here to about 300,000 So about 300,000 in revenue from final 12 months. And I used to be not spending a lot time within the enterprise comparatively to earlier years, particularly to starting years the place I used to be making no cash and I used to be working all day lengthy. So it simply felt like I used to be like oh nicely I ought to have the ability to make that very same cash once more and work the identical quantity of hours and even much less hours now as a result of I’m higher and I ought to know higher.

And simply on this actual state of entitlement, and that’s actually the one phrase for it. I do know loads of us don’t like that phrase, we don’t need anybody to name us entitled, however simply truly being like, I’ve been entitled, and actually beginning to go searching, like in all areas of my life and be like, Oh, I can see loads of entitlement. Like I shouldn’t have to try this I ought to already be on this place by now or have figured this out by now. And I believe it’s quite common for perfectionist to be on this entitlement. And so I hadn’t realized that that was occurring. And that I used to be feeling entitled to mainly having the ability to have that 12 months that I had final 12 months or higher. And likewise, I hadn’t truly zoomed out to contemplate as nicely 2021, the 12 months earlier than it, what had gone on that 12 months.

As a result of once I simply have a look at our 2020 into like that 12 months was successful and no matter. It it’s simply not truly useful for me to think about it that approach. As a result of a lot of what went down in 2022. And me having the ability to work three days per week, and to be simply recording episodes and reposting some issues and like all of that. And so determining so many issues and making so many errors, and having it’s our most profitable 12 months that a lot of that I had laid the groundwork for in 2021 when nothing felt prefer it was working. And likewise the earlier years when nothing felt prefer it was working.

And as these years went on, I used to be making extra money. And I went from once I began my enterprise in 2013. Being a full time regulation pupil and commerce pupil majoring in finance, I’ve an appointment buddy do. However I graduated from that in 2015. I labored as an accountant for a few years I used to be doing the weblog, that’s how it began the weblog, on the facet of all of that, I left my full time accounting job in 2017 to go to an element time, like receptionist function. And I used to be capable of depart that and go full time within the enterprise in 2019 in July. After which as I discussed, it was solely like 9 months after that, that I went into this mode of like, okay, now, though I’ve solely actually been full time on this enterprise for 9 months, I want to determine the best way to have the enterprise not rely on me.

And so actually, I’ve solely had 9 months of being full time within the enterprise the place I’ve felt secure for the enterprise to rely on me. And now I’m form of going again into that mode of like, oh, it’s secure for me to truly be the one writing all of the emails and doing all of the posts and like, even have the enterprise be depending on me, I believe till I had the twins. So my second and third baby, I had been in a state of like, nicely, I don’t actually know if having youngsters will influence my drive to be concerned within the enterprise and my curiosity in enterprise. And perhaps that’ll change. I really feel like now having three youngsters and simply been in a state of affairs that I would, okay, it’s secure to say I’m nonetheless going to be fascinated with enterprise, even when we’ve got extra youngsters and all of that form of factor.

And so I may also work out throughout that point, if I get pregnant once more and have one other baby and all of that I can work out techniques processes like I can belief future me to be resourceful sufficient to seek out solutions that permit me on this second now, to have the enterprise be depending on me once more, and to indicate up for the enterprise in the best way that I do know the best way to present up for the enterprise. However that I had forgotten as a result of I used to be being entitled about it and pondering that I ought to be additional alongside I ought to know higher than this. And all of that has simply had me spending a lot time spinning my wheels and been like working the identical hours and even like extra hours when it was Might and June as a result of I used to be like simply placing a lot stress on myself simply to be again in to be like my regular self.

And I’d say three weeks in the past at this level, I’ve had this like second of form of like, I really feel like myself once more, like I may simply I really feel like me once more. And in order that’s what was it. I believe I used to be perhaps seven and a half months postpartum that I used to be like, Okay, I truly really feel like myself I’m getting far more sleep. Bodily. I’m feeling like myself once more. And so I simply actually not given myself any grace or self compassion? For simply thus far, it’s so fascinating factor about hadn’t actually give myself self compassion and charm and no matter. On the similar time I used to be being actually entitled about like, nicely, I ought to have the ability to do all of this. And I ought to have the ability to deal with all of it.

And due to that mindset, I wasn’t capable of entry the resourcefulness that I wanted to entry. I wasn’t capable of entry the readability that was obtainable to me, as a result of I used to be being in entitlement. And simply being in like, nicely, you understand, that is my tenth 12 months in enterprise and like, we made $600,000 final 12 months, and so we must always simply have the ability to do greater than that this 12 months. And I simply haven’t been delivering, that’s the truth. That’s the state of affairs.

And I believe like I really feel development minded sufficient now, to have the ability to say that with out me beating myself up about it, or making myself improper about it, or feeling disgrace about it, however similar to, oh, like from this launch, being painfully easy, as an alternative of me being right here being like, Oh, we tried this new messaging, and perhaps that was what was occurring. And that was totally different or this or that. It’s like, oh, no, actually, there simply weren’t sufficient folks seeing it and the individuals who have been seeing it weren’t getting sufficient worth from what I used to be sharing. That it could make sense for them to take the following step which might be to enroll and be my consumer inside perfectionist getting shit finished.

And in order I mentioned, though we’re doing podcast episodes, loads of these have been repurpose, or as in the course of the final minute, we have been having some posts exit on Instagram, most of these have been repurpose. Renae was accountable for these, I used to be form of in a mindset of like, I’m simply not gonna be like, I don’t have time for that mainly, like I it’s beneath me. And it’s simply so humorous now seeing that, like, it’s not, it isn’t beneath me, not like nothing is beneath me. And I really feel like like, I need to say that I’m like, I don’t need to really feel like I’m some form of entitled particular person. However once I have a look at it, like, I’m like that mindset of like, nicely, I ought to be additional alongside than that by now.

After which by not doing these issues truly not getting additional alongside. Additionally, when it got here to emails, I actually hadn’t observed how a lot of our electronic mail technique had modified. After which it meant that individuals who have been receiving emails from us, have been getting the perfectionist energy up. So it is a every day electronic mail that I ship out, that simply form of provide you with slightly one thing that can assist you get out of your individual approach. They’re very brief, candy to the purpose. So we ship these out and I’ve been writing some new ones. However loads of these like I used to be leaving all of my content material creation till the top of the week. And so typically it didn’t occur.

And so I’d be on this state of affairs of like, okay, we have to repurpose previous ones and share like a perfectionist pad that went up out a 12 months prior, in order that we are able to have one thing exit as a result of I haven’t finished it as a result of I’m so busy doing no matter else. And likewise, we have been sending out an electronic mail each week to announce a podcast episode that had gone out. However what we hadn’t realized and actually like, it’s humorous, simply, once more, preserving it painfully easy, that what I had been doing beforehand, was simply sending out an two emails each week one which shared like one thing that I used to be excited about an epiphany, a breakthrough, like a realization, one thing useful.

After which additionally one other electronic mail on a Thursday that went out to the PGSD waitlist, and individuals who have been on that about PGSD or about one of many insights from a training name, in order that they will apply it to their enterprise, whereas they’re ready to get into PGSD for our subsequent quarterly enrollment. So I used to be doing that and people who find themselves on our electronic mail checklist, we’re capable of get worth from that with out ever having to go to our podcast, or with out ever having to go to Instagram. However the best way that we had it arrange was that the e-mail on a Monday would mainly be speaking about Hey, go and take heed to the podcast episode. However except you went to take heed to the podcast episode, that electronic mail in and of itself wasn’t truly useful.

Prefer it didn’t even have the worth inside it, the worth of that electronic mail was, Hey, go and take heed to this precious podcast. However lots of people who’re listening to electronic mail aren’t going to go and take heed to a podcast. And likewise only for numbers we’ve got about nicely, truly, it relies upon the way you have a look at it. We now have much more folks on our electronic mail checklist than we’ve got who take heed to the podcast. And so clearly, not all of these are podcast listeners, or at the least listeners of my podcast. I do know that for myself, I’m very choosy in terms of what podcasts I take heed to, I don’t take heed to new podcasts frivolously. I actually need to like hear another person being interviewed, for instance, earlier than I’m gonna go and take heed to their podcast.

So we like I simply hadn’t actually observed that we weren’t inside electronic mail, truly delivering the worth there. And the identical with Instagram as nicely. And so I had simply been on this mindset of mainly, content material creation is beneath me. For no matter cause, like I’m above that now I ought to I ought to be past that now. And likewise, simply on this mindset of the launch is the principle factor that issues, and never excited about the system as a complete, and that folks should be coming in and discovering us and what we do and who we assist. After which these folks should be getting helped. After which we speak about PGSD after which after all I assume if the Planning collection episodes that have been there to assist promote pdic and have a good time that we have been opening that enrollment quarter or enrollment week or no matter it’s the like, simply recognizing that these episodes aren’t going to matter in the event that they’re like 2% higher if they simply actually aren’t sufficient folks, listening to them.

And since I had constructed up an viewers over an prolonged time period, like I by no means had an expertise the place something went viral, I had this sudden spike in site visitors or in pageviews, or in podcast downloads, like very gradual and incremental. However as a result of I’ve been at this for a very long time, it has amassed. And so I had simply been actually as nicely like, entitled of like, and that is actually the way it was in my head of like, nicely, there are individuals who take heed to the podcast, I hear from folks that they actually like it. PGSDers inform us that they love the podcast to love, so I’m simply capable of simply present up, and mainly like, no matter I put out shall be adequate.

And that mindset isn’t a useful one to be in. And though like I used to be simply on this place of excited about consistency, and consistency is essential. However when you’re constant, particularly when you’ve been in keeping with one thing, for instance, publishing podcast episodes, for a sure time period, let’s say three to 6 months, then it’s time to essentially begin excited about what you’re truly being in keeping with. And enhancing upon that creating that.

So when and it’s actually excited about like your individual enterprise for a second proper now, should you aren’t exhibiting up persistently, the very first thing it’s good to do is get out of your individual approach launch your perfectionism handbrake, that is what we actually aid you inside PGSD, that can assist you present up persistently, as a result of in case you are not exhibiting up persistently, you possibly can’t get to the purpose the place you’re then nice tuning and creating and iterating, and all of that.

As a result of if you concentrate on going to the health club, for instance, should you by no means go, you possibly can’t tweak your exercise plan to make it more practical. As a result of it doesn’t even matter what your exercise plan is since you’re not going to the health club. So that you simply have to get your self there, one thing’s higher than nothing. After which after you have been going persistently, then it’s like, okay, nicely does it make sense that I’m occurring the treadmill each time perhaps I ought to swap it up or no matter that appears like. However till then simply getting your self there. And exhibiting up persistently, which is one thing perfectionist discover actually onerous when that perfectionism handbrake is on, we need to optimize issues earlier than we even began them.

And so we, as I discussed, spent loads of time on on the brink of prepare and excited about it and all of that form of factor. So that you need to get to the purpose the place you’re constant. After which and we see this with so lots of our shoppers in PGSD, when you change into constant, you then have this second of like, okay, and now what as a result of I’ve been pondering that when I used to be constant, it’d be rainbows and daisies, and butterflies, and the whole lot can be working completely. And the one cause I wasn’t profitable wasn’t was as a result of I wasn’t being constant. And if I may simply be constant, then I’d achieve success. If I had extra time to be constant, then I’d simply achieve success.

After which you determine the best way to handle your time, you change into persistently like, okay, and now I can simply drop a few of that entitlement I needed to like no matter I do will work so long as I do it persistently. And now I can truly be development minded about it. And have a look at okay, it truly issues, just like the content material of that podcast episode. For instance, in my case issues simply because sure, we’re nonetheless persevering with to publish an episode each Monday doesn’t imply that it’s doing what it must do. Initially, once I first began, like, sure, simply present up and share. That’s what I wanted to do. And I hadn’t realized that it had switched into Okay, now I’ve been constant for a whole bunch of episodes.

Now, I actually should be paying consideration not simply to being constant, which continues to be essential. I want so as to add the following layer to it, which is persistently producing prime quality work, not excellent work. And I’m not gonna go into it on this episode. Perhaps that’s one that may be good to do sooner or later, let me know truly ship me a DM on Instagram @perfectionismproject, if you need to listen to extra about this. However it’s not about we are able to actually get him I simply need to create precious, extremely precious content material after which be so perfectionistic about it.

And I imply, that is that is the place I used to be at, which is like making an attempt to only you understand, while you’re making an attempt to do one thing completely, and you find yourself not doing it in any respect. We don’t need to be doing that with the content material. So we need to be development minded about it, which suggests seeing it as a ability that we develop with observe and paying consideration trying on the knowledge, getting suggestions I lately despatched out and I’ll hyperlink it up within the present notes as a result of perhaps you’re not on my electronic mail checklist so that you haven’t seen this. I lately despatched out a survey asking for trustworthy please put your folks pleasing tendencies apart for a minute. Trustworthy suggestions your trustworthy ideas constructive criticism about this podcast like, it’s so onerous as nicely with a podcast as a result of there aren’t feedback that there isn’t that like that interplay that you may actually see what’s occurring.

So I need to get suggestions about it, I need to actually develop this ability of podcasting. And everybody clearly have totally different preferences and tastes and no matter, in terms of podcast, however I do know that I could be creating extra precious content material, loads of occasions I do know that simply comes from me trusting myself extra like that’s key. And all of it’s the extra I belief myself, the upper high quality content material I create. And once I’m trusting myself, it often doesn’t take loads of time to create that content material. As a result of I belief myself, so I don’t must overthink it, I can get in my very own approach about it. I don’t overthink the creation, after which ought to I publish it? And the way ought to I format it, I simply permit myself to do it. I put it on the market.

And I belief as nicely that future me will work out if that’s not working and do it otherwise. So yeah, with the podcast, simply seen that. The consistency, like there’s extra to it than that. And with Instagram, as a result of we haven’t been exhibiting up persistently there, I haven’t been exhibiting up persistently there. Due to the mindset stuff I’ve talked about on this episode, that I haven’t actually, and nonetheless to this present day, due to that inconsistency on Instagram, I haven’t actually been capable of see what works and what doesn’t work, as a result of I haven’t been doing it for lengthy sufficient for emails that has been very constant. And so it’s straightforward to see. However that is a part of the painful simplicity.

And a part of getting again for me like that is my takeaway and like how I’m making use of that is actually simply making a painfully easy painful is such a key phrase on this like, till you’re in ache concerning the stage of simplicity, it isn’t easy sufficient. However a painfully easy on entitled, plan for an meaningless meaningless I’m creating is mainly simply go on Instagram tales and share, go on the podcast and share, share on emails. And likewise I’m excited about if somebody solely listens to the podcast, or they’re solely following me on Instagram, or they’re oily on my electronic mail checklist, how can I be sure that they’re getting all the worth.

So it’s not that we find yourself in a state of affairs the place folks within the electronic mail is simply getting informed concerning the podcast. However that’s not precious except you’re a podcast listener. And perhaps you’re already a podcast listener, and also you get that in your feed anyway. And in order that’s nonetheless not that precious. So I’m simply excited about it in that approach. And for me, like getting out of the entitlement, in order that I could be unentitled about it’s like, nothing is beneath me, nothing is one thing that I can’t do. And so simply form of going again into my like, exhibiting up on Instagram tales. And though in my mind is like I’ll that takes like so lengthy to do probably not, but it surely takes a protracted to do and a lot time and I ought to be spending my time on different issues, however simply getting like, I should be sowing these seeds.

Once more, that’s my job to sow these seeds. And a part of it’s simply having a like prioritizing the content material creation. That’s a very, actually, actually essential a part of my job, I’ve realized that now prioritizing that I’m not leaving on the finish of the week and squeezing it in. I’m prioritizing that. And I’m preserving it so easy, that I simply want to indicate up and do my factor and know that as I’m sowing these seeds, it may be some time once more, perhaps earlier than the harvest comes. However I do know from having this launch be painfully easy. The ability of that. And what occurs should you don’t have issues painfully easy or in a painfully easy approach and that the complexity, we love the busyness from it, we love the drama of it.

And it actually, it simply muddies issues up. And it actually creates loads of defeat, it creates loads of feeling deflated and insufficient, as a result of issues are altering a lot and so they’re so advanced, we aren’t truly capable of see like, oh, there’s not sufficient site visitors and the site visitors we’ve got, just like the folks in our world aren’t getting the worth they should get and we may see that within the stats, simply seeing just like the conversion fee from the podcast to the gross sales web page and various things like that. And likewise I simply know, I do know I do know what it’s like once I’ve been actually dedicated to my content material and exhibiting up right here and sharing and I do know what it’s like once I haven’t been and I haven’t been so I’m in that mode once more.

However it actually is nearly getting again to fundamentals. Not making an attempt to create some form of fancy plan and never getting too far forward of myself. And simply eager to be someplace that I’m not someplace that I believe goes to be higher than right here. The irony being that the place I’m now’s what previous me was so determined to be pondering that he can be higher than there. So it’s actually nearly having that mentality of, I’m like, I’m simply going to do the issues that I have to do. I’m going to do the content material creation, even when it takes ages. And I had a realization final 12 months about Instagram that I shared on the podcast after I did a time audit of my energy planning. And the way a lot time was going into Instagram, I had this conclusion from that I used to be like, Okay, nicely, I simply want to love probably not try this anymore.

And sure, there was loads of overthinking occurring. Like, in my work, we, I used to be spending about 50% of my time, creating content material, and it wasn’t like you possibly can inform that from the surface, I used to be exhibiting up and sharing. However that wasn’t mirrored. Like that wasn’t in accordance with the variety of hours spent there. It might take me typically like two to a few hours to write down a publish and do the graphic for it and all of this sort of factor. And it similar to it was extra time that I wanted. I used to be doing overthinking. However I form of similar to threw the newborn out with the bathwater. And I used to be like, Okay, nicely, I should be doing different issues. And I actually didn’t should be doing different issues. I simply wanted to not be overthinking that factor.

And different issues that I used to be overthinking as nicely. So, so let’s get into the numbers for the launch. And there are such a lot of different issues I need to share about like clear dedication, significantly as a result of I spoke about that a lot partially one. It’s of self teaching that I talked about as nicely. There’s simply so many issues I need to share. However I’m not going to share all of them on this episode, ship me a DM should you do need me to speak about something extra particularly, and I’ll do an episode on that. However I simply need to maintain it to the principle factor, which is about painful simplicity. And for your self as nicely, simply to shortly now similar to have you concentrate on what you are promoting. The place are you creating complexity?

And that is actually onerous to see. And that query actually most likely isn’t going that can assist you discover it. What I love to do to seek out simplicity or to determine the place that might be the query I acquired from Tim Ferriss a few years in the past now, what would this appear to be if it was straightforward, and likewise simply form of having a plan. So say you might be doing a launch? So that you’re not no matter it’s like it. And simply seeing like, what is important? And what’s the stuff I actually wouldn’t need to hand over? After which having the ability to even simply open the door on the choice of not doing that factor the best way you needed to do it and like what may it appear to be if I did a unique day? Or how may I simplify this? Or if I had half as a lot time to get it finished? What would I take away?

Like that’s a kind of questions like that form of query of if I had half as a lot time or say you’re employed 5 days per week, if I had in the future per week, and I needed to create this consequence, which elements of this plan would I take away and which elements would I maintain? And it’s just like the 80-20 rule that 20% of your efforts create 80% of your outcomes. And in order that’s what we need to get out with the painful simplicity. And isn’t saying like we don’t need to create this entitlement to in case you are preserving issues painfully easy your plan will work. What is going to occur is in case you are preserving issues painfully easy, both your plan will work or it gained’t.

However both approach, you’ll know a lot extra about why and have it have a greater probability of working as a result of you possibly can execute it absolutely versus you probably have an advanced plan that you may’t even execute absolutely anyway. And should you do try this, and even should you don’t, then on the finish of it, you’re left scratching your head and feeling insufficient as a result of it didn’t work. And also you don’t know why or it did work. And it looks like such a fluke since you don’t know why. So I don’t need you to be in entitlement, like I’ve been about you probably have a painfully easy plan. Meaning a plan ought to work. And the launch that we had in April, Might final 12 months. I used to be on this entitlement. I talked about it within the debrief for that. And I hadn’t even seen entitlement earlier than it myself in that approach.

And it was similar to it wasn’t a brand new feeling. However I hadn’t needed to see it in myself. And so I had it and I simply I used to be on this entitlement about like if I get all my work finished early and simply, then it ought to work then we must always have the variety of signups we wish and it’s like with the content material of what’s what that work is definitely issues. The variety of folks seeing that work issues and so it’s useful at occasions and that is what we had finished throughout this launch has been on this mindset of like, nicely, you understand, we wish 88 signups and to have these folks in PGSD, so we will help them.

We now have greater than that many greater than that. Hearken to the podcast. I’ll share numbers in a second however we’ve got greater than that listening to podcast. So we must always have the ability to have that many signups once more, like this entitlement of like ought to. And the truth is, that may be an insanely excessive conversion fee. If we had say for a launch episode, one to 2000 folks listening to that and 88 folks enroll.

That may be a very excessive conversion fee for a program that price a couple of $1,000. And so it’s useful to be in that mindset, like when you’re within the state of affairs the place you’re promoting, and also you’re like, okay, listed below are the folks and I’m simply going to, I’m not going to deal with others or not folks and no matter. However like within the lead up, simply not noticing. Really, there’s not sufficient folks right here for 88 signups to make sense. However as a result of we hadn’t been and myself significantly hadn’t been on this clear dedication, prior, like within the months previous to the launch. And that had solely been proper earlier than the launch. That the questions that we have been asking, like, we hadn’t actually given sufficient consideration to that.

And we’re simply very centered on the launch itself being so essential, like, oh, perhaps we have to write this electronic mail and have that one be a brand new one in every of like, regardless, there’s simply not sufficient folks seeing it. And I believe it could possibly simply be so free to be like, oh, like, there may be nothing improper with me. And there’s simply not sufficient folks seeing it, and I wasn’t exhibiting up. And now I’m going to do the non-public growth work wanted to have the ability to present up absolutely, and to be prefer to create emotional security for myself, being in entrance of extra folks being seen, like having extra folks hear this and extra folks doubtlessly criticize it or no matter, that I’m going to create that emotional security for myself to do these two issues. And never simply being this confusion. And simply feeling like I don’t know what’s occurring.

So for the numbers, and as I’m studying via my notes, there are such a lot of issues I need to point out the launch week, I used to be sick and unwell and similar to all these various things, however mainly, let’s undergo the numbers after which I’m going to wrap it up as a result of I really feel like I’ve shared what I have to share on this episode. In order I discussed, 9 signups 88 was our aim. I’ll speak about aim setting the Development Aim, all of that in my replace that shall be popping out within the subsequent few episodes reflecting by myself quarter three milestone for my development aim. However 9 out of 88, which was our aim, money collected, meaning 21,500 US {dollars}, which is roughly 33,300 Aussie {dollars}.

When you didn’t know I’m Australian, I stay in Brisbane and PGSD is in US {dollars}. Most of our PGSDers are within the States. However the firm funds as a result of it’s an Australian firm are in Australian {dollars}. So lifetime worth of the signups from this launch, which suggests as soon as everybody has paid their cost plan so we had, as I mentioned 9 signups I believe it was 5 paying full, or perhaps it was 5 cost plan folks after which 4 paying fulls. So as soon as everybody has paid their cost plans that shall be 38,000 US {dollars}, and 59,000 roughly Australian {dollars}. The bills, I’ll speak about that extra within the development aim replace. However the bills have been greater than on this quarter than the income from the launch. So keep tuned, I’m going to be speaking about that then the podcast downloads.

So I actually hadn’t realized that for the reason that starting of January, or since January 2022. The downloads for the podcast collection that have been going out on the podcast, have been lowering. However as a result of total podcast downloads have elevated, we’re at like 2.7 million, which is superior. However podcast downloads have elevated total. However they’ve been lowering once more, like I’ve additionally been on this entitlement. And likewise like, Sure, life modifications occurring and all of that. However I hadn’t observed like, oh, there are much less and fewer folks listening to the podcast slowly over time, like not a dramatic drop. However there’s much less and fewer folks. And it was form of like simply seeing like I’ve been sowing all these seeds. And we’ve got been harvesting them and sooner or later there aren’t there isn’t as a lot to reap you probably have stopped sowing.

So in 20… So in our January launch in 2022, we had 3866 folks take heed to half one in every of this collection by the point that the doorways to PGSD had closed. So what I imply by all of that’s simply within the 5 half collection that we do first episode, which has sometimes essentially the most downloads of all of them. That first episode, we maintain observe of what number of downloads we had when enrollment closed, and it was 3866 after which it went down. So we went again Renae went for me via this and examine the numbers going again via. And on this final launch that we had, we had 1940 downloads on that half one, so about half of the variety of downloads, and likewise there are PGSDers who have been listening to the podcast as nicely. So yeah, and there’s the folks then who listened to the entire collection.

So I believe I’d must go lookup the numbers. However there have been considerably lower than that, who listened to half 5 the place I talked particularly about PGSD. So I need to say perhaps it was round 1000, who listened to that episode. And so while you have a look at the podcast is our most important place that we get shoppers. And when there are 1000 folks roughly, who’re listening to that, and we wish 88 signups, that’s like one in 10, individuals who take heed to that may join PGSD. That’s, so far as a conversion fee from podcast, to a program that price a couple of $1,000.

That may be a very excessive conversion fee. Additionally contemplating as nicely just like the context of it, which was that I hadn’t been exhibiting up and doing my ordinary factor, as nicely. And, yeah, simply that it simply, I don’t know, it’s simply so humorous with the readability of a painfully easy launch. To only see like, I actually no, I’d not, if we had finished totally different, like not simply finished that launch and repeated it total, I basically pretended in our thoughts, the launch we simply have was the one after that January launch, that I’d be right here saying like, Okay, nicely as like, we have to enhance just like the messaging most likely, or we have to enhance this or that. And like, they simply I wouldn’t have seen there simply weren’t sufficient folks and I simply wasn’t doing my job.

And now I can simply have extra folks are available, and Renae be accountable for that. And I can do my job content material creation clever. And it would take a minute, like not being entitled about Okay, so the launch that we’ve got subsequent, we must always have, we must always hit our aim or no matter. However similar to no, I’m simply going to do my job. And I’m going to remain centered with that and dedicated with that. And it’s going to be boring at occasions tedious at occasions, I’m going to need to waver. However that’s the plan. Like I do know what I have to do now. I do know and this has all revealed it to me. In order I discussed, complete podcast downloads 2.7 million. After which in terms of the truly, I used to be going to learn the stats out for the podcast downloads simply gave you a little bit of context, I gained’t undergo all of them as a result of we had the 5 Planning collection episodes.

And if you wish to be taught energy planning, begin studying the fundamentals, so you can begin doing Energy planning that can assist you get out of it. And we go to Episode 415. And take heed to that collection. I share so many beneficial issues in that. However episode 415 to 419 was a Planning collection than we had two episodes going out in the course of the OpenCart interval, we had an interview with PGSDer Natalie Koons. This was an interview that we had printed in I believe it was the might launch final 12 months. After which I did an episode with Renae answering your questions on PGSD. You may hear within the episode, I’m beneath the climate, however I used to be so energized by recording that episode and similar to speaking about all of it, which was heaps of enjoyable doing that.

After which we had a couple of like a particular announcement episode, we had a traditional episode exit on the finish, the best way to escape the best way to escape indecision fatigue, which was a repurpose episode from no matter 12 months that may have been from. After which I recorded a couple of mini episodes that went out in the course of the open cart as nicely. So throughout Yeah, throughout open cart, I’ll speak about it in a second. However Renae and I have been doing a bunch of issues throughout open cart that we hadn’t deliberate, as a result of we’ll simply deal with staying current within the launch. And that was one other actually highly effective factor about preserving it painfully easy, was having the ability to keep current and catch ourselves once we have been making an attempt to flee into future pondering.

However yeah, for the downloads that we had, as I discussed 1940 downloads on that half one by the point the doorways near PGSD. For the OpenCart episodes, we had 1388 then 981 after which 712. And for the mini episodes that went out and that is all of the numbers at doorways near PGSD. We had about 5 to 600 for these episodes as nicely. So while you have a look at these numbers and also you have a look at the targets that we had for the launch. And once more, I’ll speak about in that development aim after like, why the aim was at eight. And what I’d have finished in a different way in hindsight and what we’re doing for our subsequent aim for the PGSD launch, that’s in December.

I can’t wait to open the doorways once more to PGSD. However anyway, all that to say, I’ll let you know extra about that. However yeah, these are the episode obtain numbers that we had, by way of gross sales pageviews, as nicely. We had roughly by way of distinctive web page views about I’m simply shortly it’s like 40 to 60, distinctive pageviews per day. After which on the ultimate day, we had 83 distinctive web page views on the PGSD gross sales web page, a few of these as nicely, it hasn’t been separated out which of these already PGSDers who on that web page to log in.

So in terms of I simply needed to essentially shortly talked about about it, the launch interval, as a result of within the partially one in every of this I discussed about like, okay, like Instagram stuff, like all of that stuff’s already going to be finished. However as a result of Renae and myself have been actually centered on like, let’s actually be dedicated to this aim. And never on this like hustling vitality and about it or like this insufficient vitality about it. Identical factor, or actually similar to how I had been, which is simply uncommitted and like indifferent and similar to not even actually excited about it, however like, okay, like, let’s be current with it, that we ended up throughout open cart, we added a bonus to PGSD the align advertising and marketing bundle, which was superior. And we have been in a position to try this as a result of we’ve got Renae’s experience with advertising and marketing, in order that we may provide one thing that had advertising and marketing particular issues.

It was a workshop that Renae and I taught. After which the pgcs, who signed up acquired a one on one bonus name was Renae to have her eyes on their advertising and marketing plan that they’d created in the course of the workshop. After which in addition they get a bonus observe up one on one name with Renae as they start implementing that plan to allow them to come again and ask additional advertising and marketing questions. And Renae has made million greenback funnels for a number of companies. So it’s simply so enjoyable to have the ability to provide that form of factor to our PGSDers.

So we added that bonus in, we additionally ended up creating fairly a couple of issues. For Instagram, we despatched out additional emails. And we additionally despatched out loads of private emails as nicely, simply to folks that we thought may need to know that we had added that bonus to PGSD. So we despatched out loads of emails and we similar to we’ve got observed, or I’ll communicate for myself, I’ve observed that I’ve a behavior of simply wanting to spend so much of time excited about the longer term as a strategy to escape the current. It’s like I really feel like I’ve extra management over this future cut-off date, the place I shall be higher than current day.

And if I really feel like issues aren’t going how I would like them to go. And even like, even when issues aren’t not going nicely. I similar to love excited about the longer term. And all of the superb issues which might be like Oh, like that is the way it’s finished. I’ve the very best concept for the following launch, like, oh, this factor that I’m going to do. Like, it’s all similar to, even when although I do do these issues, I do do loads of the issues that I plan. However in a launch, it’s so essential to only keep current or in something to only not get forward of your self. And so throughout this launch, we have been actually centered on like, okay, let’s ensure that we’re staying current. And we each know, we’re gonna have so many concepts for future launches, and we’re gonna need to speak about them collectively.

We have been working in particular person collectively, daily, I used to be working 9 until two as a result of I wasn’t nicely. And I didn’t must work like all of the core stuff had been finished forward of time. A part of preserving it painfully easy is that we are able to get all of it finished forward of time. In order that I had all been finished, however I actually needed to indicate up for the launch. So I did that in a approach that may additionally help my well being and my household and never have me burning out. So we knew we’d have the ability to speak about stuff about okay, we’re not going to speak concerning the future and all our concepts, we’ve got to park them and we’ll come again to them and let’s keep current like all the best way so Australian time that was shut at 2pm.

Like all the best way to the top. We’re staying current to this launch and never going into debrief mode, not excited about the following one. We’ve simply been within the right here and now. In order that was actually useful to do as nicely. I extremely advocate that. So additionally simply shortly the ultimate stats that I need to share with you by way of electronic mail. So we despatched roughly 25 emails with a every day perfectionist energy up electronic mail as nicely, the open charges have been 31 to 33%, which is regular for us unsubscribes, about 5 to twenty folks per electronic mail. So regular to have unsubscribes, particularly in a gross sales emails, such as you need to see these unsubscribes. So we had, what quantity is that 11,480 subscribers on our checklist at the beginning of the launch. As I discussed, there have been unsubscribes, we’re sending over electronic mail. So it was lower than that by the top of the launch.

And for Instagram, we had 53.8 1000 followers, 17 posts throughout that point, a mean of 10 to 500 likes per publish, we’re primarily specializing in tales, which is 2 to 400 views. And I do know just like the one I’ve been exhibiting up persistently on tales and never simply exhibiting up persistently however doing that after which sharing useful issues that our views have been about one to 2000 or 3000. So it was considerably lower than that, throughout this as a result of I hadn’t been exhibiting up. So after all it was going to be that approach. So that’s actually my debrief on the launch. I hope it’s been useful to listen to me chat via it. And it’s all nearly bringing it again to painful simplicity.

How can I make this extra easy, after which asking your self that time and again, till you’re in ache, concerning the stage of simplicity till it bodily hurts, like you’ve got that feeling of your abdomen of like, oh like this, to have it’s this easy. Like I’m actually having to surrender all these little bells and whistles and like you must hand over issues that really feel important as a result of your perfectionist mind is certainly going to overestimate what’s required is so humorous. Like we overestimate what’s required. And we underestimate how lengthy it should take to do the whole lot. That’s one other I haven’t even talked about it on this episode.

Such an enormous good thing about painful simplicity is as a result of so many people utterly like we’ve got that fantasy self price excited about future us who’s going to be so motivated and similar to, know precisely what to say and no matter that we actually like, we are able to name it optimism. However it’s actually simply having unrealistic expectations and calls for of your self that we are able to actually underestimate how lengthy issues take. So when you’ve got a painfully easy plan, that’s the plan you’re capable of execute. If it will be advanced, then almost definitely, you’re not going to have the ability to even do all of it. And so there’s no level nice tuning that plan or irrespective of how good it’s. If it doesn’t get executed, then it doesn’t matter.

It’s not like college, the place issues it’s like about potential, and like how good you could be sooner or later and the way a lot promise you’ve got. Enterprise isn’t like that. It’s about what are you truly capable of create, and having a tremendous plan that doesn’t get executed? Doesn’t matter. Prefer it doesn’t provide you with any profit. As a result of it’s all about utility implementation like that’s what creates the outcomes. So yeah, preserving it easy, painfully easy. Simply ask your self like, Am I in ache concerning the stage of simplicity? And if not make it much more easy. What would this appear to be? If it was straightforward what would this appear to be? If I used to be extra brave? Is there a extra direct strategy to get to my aim almost definitely there may be simply going to be slightly bit scarier.

Am I prepared to try this? Am I prepared to indicate myself that I’m able to doing that? So with that mentioned, I hope you’ve loved it.
