Dare to Launch

If last year felt kinda weird – that's because it was weird. Conversions dropped. Engagement tanked – 2025 was a tough year to be a business owner. So let's dig into some of the practical, tactical changes we're making this year. And not just me… In this week's episode of Dare to Launch, we're joined by Emma and Eleanor from The Reconnected. They've done numerous seven-figure launches – and generated over A$10MM in a little over five years… … but they also experienced a ton of challenges last year – challenges that affected pretty much every business owner (and a few crazy ones that didn't!). Together, we break down the big shifts we saw in 2025… and what we're doubling down on over the next 12 months… (Things you should be doubling down on too.) We get into: How to pull off a six- or seven-figure launch – from your bed (Emma actually did this last year – it's a crazy story) The "Middle G" problem that was quietly costing them sales from their best customers Why charging for your free content could increase your show-up rates… and your sales The "real time vibe checks" their team track more than clicks and opens Why their best email strategy was also their big blindspot Why "I can't afford it" is rarely the true objection… and how to find the real reason your customers aren't buying The Slack channel that every member of their team watches during a launch How they get their customers to improve their messaging and write better copy… without them even knowing about it … and more. There's been some big shifts over the past year. But this isn't doom and gloom… Customers are still buying. People are still looking for real human beings to help them. It's still an awesome time to be an entrepreneur. This episode will help you show up and serve your people in a BIG way (and make it easier for them to say yes)... - - - new CTAs Here's whats going on in our community right now! https://getyoulaunched.com Want to launch or grow your business – faster?

My friend Pat Flynn just shared a great solution for the "succeed without burning yourself out" problem. And this might be one of the best skills you can learn… It's no secret I'm not hustle culture's biggest fan. Sure, there are times when you need to push the pedal to the floor. But there's only so much pushing you can do before you burn out. Trouble is, by the time you're smelling smoke… it's too late. That's where Pat's technique comes in… It's called a "Power 10." And it's something he learned in college to get ahead without hitting the wall. (Pat also used it recently to finish writing his book in just 10 days… without sacrificing family time.) Here's what's cool – once he explains it, you'll see how you can apply it to any area of your life – not just your business. Here's Pat to walk you through it… - - - Level up your conversions at Conversion Intensive https://getyoulaunched.com Dare to Launch Free Bonuses found at: LINK Want to launch or grow your business – faster?

Hal Elrod shouldn't be alive. When he was 20, he was hit head-on by a drunk driver and declared clinically dead for six minutes. When he came out of his coma, the doctors had more bad news – they told him he'd never walk again… But he did. Years later, Hal was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer… and given two weeks to live. He beat that too. You might think it's a miracle Hal is still alive… and you'd be right. But this isn't luck… or chance. Hal made TWO decisions on both those occasions that helped him beat the odds… and go on to achieve the impossible. He calls them the "Miracle Equation." And in this week's episode of Dare to Launch, he shares how you can use it to create miracles in your own life, including: The two part "Miracle Equation" Hal used to defy the doctors – and how you can it in business, launches, and life The Jim Rohn quote that inspired his entire Miracle Morning movement The single most effective Miracle Morning habit – and how to use it to hit your 2026 goals faster The three words Hal says to himself to bounce back from rejection, criticism, or any kind of crisis What most people get wrong about affirmations – and Hal's three-step approach that helps you cultivate a bulletproof mindset Plus – how to build your own "Miracle Morning" – Hal walks us through the six habits that can rebuild your mindset, your health, and your business. … and more. Hal's living proof that you can create miracles. But there's nothing woo-woo about this… You need to put in the work. But if you're up to the task… you can achieve the impossible. And this episode will show you how.

It's the time of year when folks are getting excited about the goals they want to hit next year. And while having goals is awesome… When you set a goal that feels really big, it can drain the energy out of you – the finish line seems so far away… a little too out of reach. But before you start setting your sights on lower, more "realistic" targets, here's something I've noticed… Most of the time… those big, far off, audacious goals aren't as distant as people think. And this clip from Dare to Launch – where Emma and Eleanor from The Reconnected share their "Launch Life" – is a great example. ("Launch Life" is the term we use in our community to describe your dream life – the ability to run your business so it fits your life and goals, rather than the other way around.) Because while Emma and Eleanor share plenty of pinch me moments that often seem like far off dreams – international travel, holidays, financial freedom… What I want you to pay attention to is how they made it happen… They didn't change their business, their mission, or their clients… they built their dream life by evolving how they served their people. That's why I want you to check out this clip. Because whatever goals you're shooting for in 2026 – more freedom, more income, a bigger purpose… … you might find they're closer than you think. - - - Dare to Launch Free Bonuses found at: https://getyoulaunched.com Want to launch or grow your business – faster?

Every episode of Dare to Launch features a taco break – quick-fire questions to keep things fun. As you might have guessed, most of these questions revolve around Mexican food. But we also toss in the odd curveball or two. Here's why – fun, unexpected questions often get genius answers you'd never have gotten otherwise. This clip with Mike Michalowicz is a great example. One minute, we're having the "hard vs. soft shell" debate… (Actually, there is no debate – it's always soft shell. 😀) … the next, he's sketching out how he'd build an unstoppable team to grow his imaginary taco truck business, including: The first place he'd go to find new team members The subtle, intangible behaviors he'd look for before hiring anyone The "Escamole / Van Halen" trick he'd use to help him identify the best of the best … and more. This taco break is fun… and way more valuable than I thought it would be… - - - Dare to Launch Free Bonuses found at: https://getyoulaunched.com/ Want to launch or grow your business – faster?
