Here’s what we cover:

• [2.35] Why they wanted to create a digital course: When Nicki & Vicci realised they had potential to help other’s create a centre just like their bush kindy, they decided to swap out the constant questions and contact from potential clients into a course that ultimately gave back freedom and time with their own children.
• [6:09] The vision and bringing it to fruition: 12 Months ago, after being shut down through Covid, Nicki & Vicci took a leap of faith, created a vision board and plan, and went all in with their first ever wildly successful podcast.
• [08:54] Going from a podcast to a digital course: We spoke about how they went from no fan-fare, no marketing plan, no templates, no messaging, and no audience growth to launch a number one podcast, and how they decided on a course as their next step.
• [12:19] On taking a gamble and selling out their Foundation Round in 24 hours: We talk their fears prior to launching their offer (“No-one else is doing this! Is this a red-flag or a huge potential?”) and how in 24 hours they’d sold out their foundation round.
• [14:19] Wondering whether they could achieve a valuable transformation without 1:1 time: Before joining Launchpad Nicki & Vicci worried about whether they could provide a valuable trnsformation without 1:1 time. After some soul searching they decided it was the ONLY way to ensure they would not geographically isolate themselves and could deliver to an international market.
• [16:38] How the Launchpad foundation round process helped them: Testing the market was the sure way to to know whether the offer was right. It took two instagram stories, one post, no mailing list, no google, no ads, and just a few DMs on Instagram to sell out their foundation round.
• [26:27] Launching & overcoming imposter syndrome: We talk about the big mindset beliefs that can hold you back.
• [33:10] Kicking perfectionism to the curb: Nicki & Vicci reflect on how paralysing perfectionism can be, and that starting with a messy launch is absolutely OK, leaving room to refine and learn for next time.
• [37:21] Setting launch goals: How having a number in mind played havoc on Nicki & Vicci’s mindset, and how the deadline of doors closing had people knocking down the door last minute, doubling their initial goals and profits.
• [40:00] How they pulled off a $120k launch in 7 days: Nicki & Vicci talk about how the weight has been lifted, how they don’t have to financially worry anymore and can literally do this from anywhere. How they’ve influenced their community, become role models for their children, and legislatively changed outdoor recreation and evolved education in general.
