The launch of your course is a pivotal moment in your entrepreneurial journey.

Up until that point, you pour your heart, soul and countless hours into your creative project behind the scenes. Then comes the moment where you go from being unseen to seen (the butterfly emerges from the cocoon).

In this episode 13 of GEA Live, we will discuss and dissect the ins and outs of a successful launch strategy. We also share some of our stories from our previous successful and eh-hem, less successful launches and what we learned from them.

Let’s get you prepared to launch!
