😊 How Your Business Can (& Can’t) Make You Happy — $300k+ Launches with Sam Vander Wielen
I’m not a fan of the #girlboss. But I am a fan of women who build wildly successful businesses. And I especially appreciate when they offer eyes-open advice about what it really took to get there.
Today on the show, I’m joined by Sam Vander Wielen, a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur who’s built a multi-seven-figure online business through consistently $100k+ funnels and launches.
While income claims like that typically make me roll my eyes… Sam is such an smart, honest, and candid business owner that I just had to ask her a million questions about how her business really works.
So if you’ve ever wanted a values-aligned look into a seven-figure business, you’ll definitely want to tune in. We talk about:
- The relationship between trauma and high-achievement
- How social media helped Sam grow her business
- Clarifying the stages of awareness in your marketing
- Clearing fear around the legal aspects of small business
- How Sam handles hate mail and mean messages
- The realities of Sam’s $300k+ launches
- Why you need a copy of Sam’s new book
