Welcome to Day 5 of our 5 Day Launch Challenge! We're talking about 3 deadly launch mistakes that you want to avoid! The whole point of launching is to be as successful as possible, so today we are talking about some of the mistakes that many people make when they launch.
The 3 Deadly Mistakes of a Product Launch:
1. Jumping Into a Launch - Sometimes it is tempting to just jump into your product launch! You can easily have unrealistic sales projections, which will make it worse on you when it doesn’t meet your expectations.
2. The 6 Figure Illusion - we think that achieving 6 figures in a launch is common place, and it’s not actually all that easy to hit that number. Someone having a 6 figure launch has probably launched products multiple times. Don’t give up after your first launch. Keep working on it and launching time after time.
3. Overconfidence - there is a fine line between being confident and being too confident. A launch isn’t easy and it’s not easy to hit big numbers. There is so much work behind the scenes, and personally, I have prepped for about 4 weeks before I launched. Have a strategy to make sure all your time is going into planning your launch.
Showing up and being consistent will give you the confidence you need to sell out your program.
Setting realistic goals, that are also ambitious is a good idea! It’s all a numbers game!
Listen to the episode to hear the case studies of actual clients that I’ve worked with.

Today is Day 2 of our 5 Day Launch in 90 Days Challenge. If you missed Day 1, please go back and listen to that show. We’re going to start with some Q and A and then cover today’s topic.
Q and A:
Should you focus on growing your email list or launching first?
Part of the launch strategy is email list building. Grow your list in the pre-launch stage of your course.
Do we need to do FB ads if we haven’t launched a product yet?
Only do FB ads when you have a call to action. So if you want to give something away to build your list, that’s great.
Do you have to go into debt to launch a course?
You will either spend your time or your money your launch. So you can spend your money to save yourself time, or you can save your money and spend your time. You have to spend one or the other.
How much time will a launch take from your family?
If you designate a certain amount of hours per day to your launch, it won’t take any longer than your normal work day.
Yesterday we talked about your fears and your goals. Today is all about your “perfect person”. We want to start the process by looking at yourself first. You want to teach you, where you were 2 years ago. You need to be far enough ahead in your journey to be confident helping people who are where you were 2 years ago.
Post your homework in the FB group and share your answers with the group.
