Step 4: Launch
From Solution to First Revenue
This is the moment you've been working towards. It's time to put it all out there and open for business. A launch isn't about hype; it's about making a genuine connection and inviting the right people in.
The Core Insight
"Launch chaos"—trying to be on every platform at once—leads to burnout. The secret to a successful first launch is to focus on doing a few things really well. Less is almost always more.
The Launch Process
Blueprint
Create a simple, one-page plan that answers: What are my goals? Who am I talking to? Where will I find them? This will make you feel strategic, not scattered.
Message
Figure out exactly what to say on your website, in your emails, and on social media to authentically connect with your audience and make your offer irresistible.
Plan
Build a step-by-step calendar that will guide you through everything you need to do before, during, and after you launch, so you always know what to focus on next.
Core Steps
