Empowered AF: How to Create A Multi-Million Dollar Business with Facebook™️ Ads
We're excited to be interviewing Courtney Foster-Donahue, owner of many wildly successful courses that help professionals from all walks of life succeed wherever they go. We're chatting with Courtney to take a look at how good the DFY life can get. From unexpected free time to getting some (well earned!) peace of mind on vacation, there's no shortage of inspiration to draw from today's DFY-expo. You even get to hear the story of how everyone first met! Courtney is a classic case of a business owner that could totally have continued running her own ads and been successful on her own. But the freedom to NOT worry about her ad spend and establish a high level of predictability was totally worth it to her to hire out an agency, US!

In today's episode, I'm chatting with 7-figure business owner Courtney Foster-Donahue! Courtney did not know this before the episode but her Facebook Framework course was actually the FIRST online course I ever purchased and it (to put it lightly) opened up a whole new word to me. Courtney shares what she studied in school (nope, not marketing or business), how she started on her entrepreneurial journey (hint: her first businesses was NOT an online business, in-fact it was very different!) as well as what her business looks like now and who she serves. Courtney also breaks down how her business has evolved over time, WHO should create an online course and WHEN, and how she helps people put together powerful programs that facilitate a transformation, NOT just teach on a topic. If you're wondering: If an online course could help scale your business (or not!) What to do if your market seems to be ALREADY saturated How you can validate your course concept What advice a 7-figure online course business owner would give to someone just starting out How to promote your different priced products Then this episode is for YOU!
