Author: Salome Schillack August 5, 2025 Duration: 57:00

Ready to stop chasing revenue and start keeping the money you make? 🚀

I know talking about money can feel sticky, but here's the truth: you cannot build a freedom empire without understanding profit. Today's conversation will completely shift how you think about the financial side of your online courses business.

My guest Jamie Trull, a CPA and profit strategist, reveals why most course creators obsess over revenue while their actual profits disappear into thin air. She shows us exactly how to fix it by paying ourselves first, identifying our real customer acquisition costs, and finding the balance between trusting our gut and letting data guide our decisions in our coaching programs and consulting services.

  • Master the real cost of acquiring customers with Meta ads and Facebook ads

  • Identify which parts of your business are actually profitable
