Would you publicly share your revenue goal and let people watch you chase it? My guest Megan Yelaney did exactly that, and in this episode we are breaking down everything behind it.
Megan is a business coach, messaging strategist, and the host of the Business Not As Usual podcast. She has built a million-dollar brand helping coaches become the one person their clients cannot stop thinking about. She is a former musical theater actress turned entrepreneur, a twin mom, and she is currently on a public mission to hit $200K in 90 days while working under 30 hours a week with two toddlers at home.
In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, Megan shares what she calls the “authority stamp” (or 10K one-liner), how to build thought leadership content that positions you as an expert, three marketing strategies that no longer work and what to do instead, how she uses private podcasts as a launch tool, and what it actually feels like to set a public revenue goal and let people watch the messy middle unfold.
This was one of the most tactical interviews I have ever done. By the end of this episode you will have things you can implement today.
