Welcome to Million Dollar Grit, the podcast that dives deep into the world of entrepreneurship, where tenacity meets strategy, and dreams meet reality. Here, we explore the raw, often overlooked truths of what it takes to succeed in business and in life. It's not just about the glossy success stories - it's about the grit it takes to get there.
In this opening episode, Julie reflects on the struggle to show up consistently online, explaining some of the breakthrough she had to finally come back after 18 months of not podcasting. She offers some practical tips for unblocking your own paralysis and procrastination, and provides reassurance for those who are trying to do business in the midst of a messy life.
What did my journey look like to $1,000,000? It was longer, more windy and random than you might think. I'm going behind the scenes all the way back to 2012 and will share how I made money, what I did first, second, third, and provide insight into the big moments that changed the way I thought, and thus the way I earned.
Building a course can be a daunting task. In this episode, I break down the three most common reasons why people don't finish, and then give tangible action-oriented advice for how to overcome it. This is a must listen if you have a course idea (unmade or half baked) sitting somewhere in your laptop or your brain.
This dissonance between what's happening (or appears to be happening) on the outside vs. what's really going on inside. My take one what I'm seeing across all industries and my advice for those who are in the struggle to sell right now.
What did my journey look like AFTER I hit $1,000,000? It was longer, more windy and random than you might think. I'm going behind the scenes from 2018-2022 and will share how I made money, what I did first, second, third, and provide insight into the big moments that changed the way I thought, and thus the way I earned.
In this episode, I take you inside my thoughts about the importance of writing and my anger that AI might threaten this very sacred human method of communication. I talk about my big theory as to what might happen if we all stopped writing, plus give a few nuggets of "woah" I've heard around the interwebs as we all experience what it's like to live and work in online business with ChatGPT and other AI models threatening to take over skilled work.
Probably the #1 thing I do with my clients is help them work out the difference between what they teach (in a course) and what they tease (on a sales page). In this episode, I use a mock client and walk through the biggest pitfall with an expert who is trying to market themselves. Guarantee this has probably impacted your marketing as well!
We (in the west) tend to think of everything as linear. An unending line of progress that ends in...what exactly I'm not sure. But it's all about growth, progress, and beating out what we did before. This is why so many business owners freak out when the step by step growth of the last couple years has all of a sudden ground to a halt. It bucks directly against the belief that all things just march in a steady growing line of awesomeness. This podcast episode uses the four seasons of nature to help frame how the four seasons of business work as well. Give it a listen whether you're feeling like business is going awesome or terrible.
I didn't actually plan to do a podcast episode on this so consider this an interruption into my regular schedule of episodes, but the Facebook post I published about MRR has a lot of attention and I want to try to explain why MRR is so sketchy and not a good business model in the world of digital marketing.
If you've heard the advice, "Start with the end in mind" ... it might actually be sabotaging your success. It's not that it's not good advice in a lot of arenas, but as I reflect on my journey, I noticed a behavior in myself that while bucking against traditional wisdom, actually led me to a lot of success. It all begins with throwing out the advice to think about the end.
