101. Scaling and Evergreen Offer to $1 Million with Jacques Hopkins
Last week, I shared one of my favorite quotes of all time: Failure is not a zero-sum game And it’s so important that I’m bringing it back today. Let’s get one thing straight - failure is inevitable in business. Those entrepreneurs you follow on Instagram posting their 6-figure sales months? They probably worked years to get there. Years of finding their way in the dark, of falling down, of pushing forward without fully understanding what they were doing. Years of failure that all led to something truly beautiful. And today’s guest, Jacques Hopkins, is the ultimate example of this. A former engineer, Jacques is now the creator of a highly successful online piano course. Pianoin21days.com has brought in, wait for it, $2.4 million in revenue to date, with over 6,000 students over the world. The passive income from his course allows him to support his family, take amazing vacations (like a 5-week road trip across the US!), and truly do what he loves. But, what if I told you that it wasn’t always smooth sailing for Jacques? In today’s episode, Jacques and I chat about our (multiple!) business failures, what we learned from them, and how they still help us in 2021. As you listen in today, I sincerely hope this episode can help you rise up from any fear or failure and keep going. And when you do find your million-dollar idea, I hope you think back to this episode and say ‘I’m glad I listened to Salome!’ So, get listening ASAP! Once you’re done, come over to my Instagram @salome.schillack and share the one thing you learned from your own failures.
