It is so exciting for me to get to interview my own mentors when it comes to online business and balancing that with the lifestyle you want. Courtney Johnston is one of those people for me. She runs the Rule Breaker’s club, where she teaches women how to package and sell their brilliance.

In this interview with Courtney, we talk about some keys to scaling your business, why it’s important to step out of the solopreneur mindset, and how to motivate yourself to get things done. We also get into how she uses data to improve her sales funnel during a launch and how it determined the success of that launch.

Courtney’s work has been featured on Inc.com, FastCompany.com, CreativeLive, and the Huffington Post. She’s from Michigan, started her business in Paris, and currently lives in Vancouver, BC with her fiancé, Mohammed.

Deciding what to invest in at certain times in my business has been crucial to the progress I’ve made. And when I heard about Erin Flynn’s (http://erinflynn.com) Mastermind this year, I knew I had to jump on the opportunity asap.

In this solo episode, I go into the process I took to decide this was the right event for me, what the actual mastermind was like, the other women I met there, and the results I’ve gotten so far from being the mastermind.

This week on the Digitally Overwhelmed podcast I got to interview author and popular keynote speaker, Mike Michalowicz. I had so much fun interviewing Mike because he has so much wisdom to share about running your small business.

Sometimes when it comes to “serious” topics like doing the finances in our business, it can be hard to find resources and frameworks that are motivating to follow. And all of Mike’s books do exactly that: the inspire you to take action, but also give you some clear rules to follow.

In this conversation we talk about bringing comedy to the business world, depression in the entrepreneur community, and how he uses A/B testing in his business to make decisions.

Mike Michalowicz is a former small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal; is the former MSNBC business make-over expert; is a popular keynote speaker on innovative entrepreneurial topics; and is the author of Profit First, Surge, The Pumpkin Plan and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur
