117: The Systems & Workflow Magic Bundle: The Launch Edition Is Now LIVE!

(Solo episode) Dolly DeLong: Hey everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Systems and Workflow Magic Podcast. I am your Systems and Workflow BFF and Guide, Dolly DeLong, and I have some really exciting news I want to share with you. It is officially bundle launch week, meaning the Systems and Workflow Magic Bundle, the launch edition is out! Isn’t that so exciting?

I feel like I’ve been talking about this for a very long time. Specifically, I started hinting very heavily about this bundle in episode 105, featuring Emily Conley. And ever since episode 105, I have just been introducing the different contributors of this bundle and just different. puzzle pieces you might want to consider when you are planning out your first or your next launch, especially for 2024.

Since we are in 2024, I want you to be and feel better equipped. So in full transparency, All right, I haven’t outlined this episode because I wanted to do a very raw and off-the-cuff episode because I feel like I’ve been so planned and meticulous this entire time leading up to this week, I just wanted to go back to the basics of why I am placing Bye!

So much importance on launching in 2024. Like really, honestly, it’s not that I am placing importance on myself for launching in 2024. I want to help you, the listener to see the importance of launching this topic. And there are so many reasons why, but. The first reason why I’m placing so much importance on launching, especially as you are looking ahead this year, is because the online space is changing drastically. I mean, we all know this, it’s constantly changing. I feel like everything’s moving at, The speed of sound, or like light, lightning speed, whatever the phrase is, things are changing a lot.

what has worked in the past is not working anymore, which might be a great thing, might be a good thing, or might be a very daunting thing. And with, in terms of launching, I want to encourage listeners to reshape The way you think about launching, you might think about launching, from a perspective of, I don’t have a team of 20 people working for me, therefore I can’t launch or I.

Launching is so complicated. There are so many moving puzzle pieces. It’s just me. I don’t know how to launch or I don’t want to learn how to launch or it is too overwhelming to launch. I just got to get by today. And so I want you to reframe launching and think of it as promoting yourself because If you’re in a business, which if you’re listening to this podcast, you most likely have some sort of small business, either you are running your business full time or you are taking the steps you want to take to run your business full time.

One of the things about running your business is promoting yourself, marketing yourself, really letting people know, and showcasing your expertise. And you do that again, honestly, You market yourself and you have to have periods of promotions of your services, of your products, of your group program, whatever you sell.

Like, you, you have to let people know what you sell. And that’s how I look at launching. I look at launching as promoting myself in different ways throughout the year. Now, I’m not going full head-on, or what’s the term? I’m not going full-on, hardcore launching every single day of the year. That would be draining.

I don’t have that type of energy. And I applaud, I admire people who do. that’s cool for them, but for me, I Work in phases. I have to have some slower seasons. I, for my personality, I, but I still, in the slower seasons, I need to promote myself, and in the very busy seasons, I’m still promoting myself, and in the seasons where I have, I feel like I have more energy, I’m promoting myself, and so I am learning, or have learned, through the years of being a service provider and an online educator, that my year or Every month looks very different, of course, but I’ve been able to gauge like when my busiest times of the year are and I’ve been able to gauge, okay, how can I implement promoting promotional phases into my marketing and try to sell out certain services or sell products and just reframe the way I look at launching.

And that has been very transformational for me. And that’s one of the reasons why I have been really like heavily talking about launching for the past several months because I want to help make a positive impact for a lot of small business owners who feel like they’re alone not just on the online space, but who may feel alone in operating their own business.

they’re discouraged. Like, how do I even promote myself? How do I market myself? I want people to know what I do. Yet, I don’t know how to tell people what I do. I don’t know when to tell people how I do things. And just, it’s just like a never-ending cycle. I’m always rooting for the small business owner daily because I’m a small business owner and I am wearing all the hats and I understand that can be lonely.

And so I want to be as encouraging as possible to you, the listener. I want you to know that you can. Take baby steps. I know I say this every week, but you can take baby steps in your business to apply systems workflows and SOPs to better impact the way you run the back end of your business. And this also means you can take baby steps to apply to launch.

to the back end of your business because it will directly impact the way you promote yourself and sell your services how you look at how you are marketing yourself and when you’re marketing yourself and how you’re applying this to the promotional periods of your business. So again, this bundle was created for the small business owner, who again, might be running the show on their own and they need to learn how to apply the methods of launching to their business so that it could impact the way they promote themselves, the way they show up in marketing, the way.

The message themselves, their services, and their products. This also is for the small business owner who maybe you may have a successful product or a group program already. It’s you, it’s been tested and you know that you’re really good at something very specific, but you just.

understand how to continue to prime your audience to get your audience ready to buy again and again because it’s multiple times a year you offer this or you want to open the doors to it multiple times of the year and you’re like, how do I wrap my head around this? And this is for both types of business owners.

the brand new business owner who wants help with learning how to market themselves, and how to incorporate launches into their business, and then also for that business owner who may be in the messy middle of growing their business. They have proven services and proven digital products, and they want to relearn how to re-promote this over and over again.

as a launching period. I also want to showcase that launching is not a one-size-fits-all roadmap. I know that in this online space, there are a lot of people and sometimes you, people look shiny and they look like they have all the answers and I’m telling you, it’s, sometimes it can be hard to know who to trust, who not to trust, who’s actually gone before you, or who is just, making it up as they go, and they’re just presenting it in a very big, shiny bow.

It’s really hard to know, okay, what’s legit, what’s not legit? And, I wanted to create a resource full. of experts, business owners, who have gone for you and are experts in very specific parts of the launch. they might not necessarily say, I’m an expert in launching, but they’re an expert in, like for example, copywriting because copywriting does impact a certain aspect of launching.

Or there might be an expert in metrics, measuring data, and that impacts And so I purposefully reached out to these 28 different contributors because I knew and I know that there are so many different puzzle pieces of launching and that I literally cannot do it all. As much, as I always say this to people, I wish I could do it all.

I wish I could just be a know-it and share all the things and do all the things on my own, but I can’t. And, so I have been very fortunate to have teamed up with these 28 other business owners who are experts in their field. And they have graciously given such amazing resources to this bundle that really And I’m going to show you how to apply it to your own unique business.

Again, I shared this earlier, launching is not a one-size-fits-all roadmap. when you dig into this bundle, you’re going to see So, I’m going to be talking about how to see certain things, certain puzzle pieces that are going to stick out to you and you’re like, Oh, I need to focus on, for example, measuring out my data, learning the importance of measuring my data before a launch, during a launch and after a launch, or I need to dig into, to Learning how to sell through stories, like how to create messaging that connects with my audience at different phases of their client journey with me.

And so these again, many different puzzle pieces and I’m so in one puzzle piece might impact your business versus somebody else may be digging into this bundle, and they are impacted by another resource that is in this bundle. And so again, I never want to present This resources bundle, because this is my fourth time leading the systems and workflow magic bundle.

And I never want it to be like, oh, this is your one-size-all-all road map. This will solve all of your problems. I don’t believe it’s gonna solve all your problems. But what I do believe is that it is a very powerful resource. At a very low price. What I do know is that this bundle Is going to help you uncomplicate your next launch with the power of systems and workflows, like showcasing different puzzle pieces of how you can take the steps you need to be more confident to launch for the first time or launch for the 10th time and be more like confident in these steps.

And I’m excited about the fact that These are experts from so many different walks of life, from so many different seasons of life. We have business owners who are starting at years 5 to 6, they are seasoned. They’re going to years 5 then we have business owners who Have been in this game for well over two decades.

And so we are coming at this from so many different walks of life. And I’m just like, so excited to help build more connections using this bundle and helping you, the user of this bundle be connected with the contributors, because that’s one of my, one of my goals. Every time I lead the systems and workflow magic bundle is not only to create a really good systems and workflow-related resource that will impact the back end of your business, but to create a resource that you are connected with the business owner.

And that way you have someone new to learn from to impact your business from here on out. I love building those connection points. And I’m excited for you all to dive into this bundle.

Again, why now? Why February of 2024, if you are listening to this live? It’s, I shared this a little bit earlier, but I’ll share it again. The online space is constantly changing. it takes a lot to get a person’s attention. That’s partly the reason why I started promoting this early on in November. Huh?

I could have started promoting it technically in January, but I wanted to get more people’s attention in November, because, again, we live in a very fast-paced online space, and people need to be reminded over and over about what you do, who you serve, how you can help them, how you can get them from point A to point B, and You will need to learn how to incorporate these lessons, into your own promotional, marketing, and launching plans.

And learn how to incorporate it in a very fast-paced environment. Yes, you might, decide to launch A specific program, a digital course, a group program, or a service, but this is a very different space than ever, what we had last year. Things are changing. People need more reminders than ever before.

People will continue to need more reminders. And instead of just throwing in the towel, why not up your game? Learn from 29 different experts who can help teach you different facets of these launch puzzle pieces.

To take the action steps to be more intentional for the back end of your business. When it comes to launching, mapping out a launch plan, mapping out a promotional plan, even if it’s not for the full year. Okay. You don’t have to be intense, at least be intentional for the next 90 days. Like how are you going to promote?

Your services, your digital products, your group program, or even yourself for the next 90 days so that you can be at the top of people’s minds as they make their buying decisions. Because you have to meet people at different phases of the client journey. you need to take those action steps, especially if you’re running a business.
