I am back with another quick tip episode. These episodes have tips or strategies you can use to help you grow your online business so you can have a bigger impact and increase your revenue in the process.
Congratulations my friend, you did it. You made it to the end of 2020. I always love getting into a new year because it brings so much new possibility, and just like many of you, I am super excited to turn the calendar on 2020.
Unfortunately, in true 2020 fashion, I do have some slightly bad news to share today. This news has to do with Apple’s iOS 14 updates and how they are going to affect your ads.
In this quick tip, I want to share with you what's going on here and what Facebook is recommending that we do about it.
There are quite a few changes that we’re going through today, so don’t miss it.
Come join me in this episode to hopefully close the door on the woes of 2020.

Who’s ready to say goodbye to 2020? Yeah. I think a lot of us are.
But I do love this time of year because we get to look back on the crazy year that it's been, and from a business perspective, we get to look at what worked, what didn't work, where all the unpredictability came into the business, and how we adapted or didn't adapt to it.
We also get to look at the lessons that we learned. What are we going to do more of next year? What are we going to do less of next year? What are we going to try differently?
In this episode, I will share with you what I learned in my business in 2020.
I also want to set some predictions for the online space in 2021, and you can use these predictions to prepare for your best year yet.
On Today’s Show You’ll Learn:
It’s been a big year in so many ways, and no one knows what 2021 has in store for us, but I do know that we can learn from the last year and use those lessons to prepare and optimize our businesses as we move into 2021.
I want to say thanks to each and every one of you for joining me on the podcast this year, here’s to making next year even better!

I am back with another quick tip episode. These episodes have tips or strategies you can use to help you grow your online business so you can have a bigger impact and increase your revenue in the process.
In this episode, I want to share with you how I look at scaling Facebook and Instagram ads.
Some of the things that I’m sharing are new or different approaches that have been working for us, but a lot of them have been the same for a long time.
The thing is, not a lot of people want to do the work. They just want to throw money at it and hope it works. But if you want to scale, it’s not that simple. That is what’s going to separate the people who are going to be successful with their ads from the people who are not.
So today I want to break down how I look at, and how I recommend that you look at, scaling your Facebook and Instagram ads in 2021.
If you haven’t already joined us inside the free Optimized CEO Community Facebook group, I want to invite you to come on over. We have so much fun in there, it’s an amazing community, and you’ll find a lot of great content to help you as you optimize your business. Head to www.rickmulready.com/group to join!

Do you have your legal systems in order? Is it the part of your business that you put off? I totally get it.
Today we’re diving into the legal side of running an online business, with lawyer and Accelerator member Jim Hart.
I asked him to join me because it’s been a while since we talked about anything legal here on the podcast. I know it can be boring, but it is SO important, and if there’s anyone who can teach us about the law without making it boring, it’s Jim.
Jim is the founder of Hawthorn Law. He is an Online Business Lawyer, Entrepreneur, YouTuber, and diehard Cleveland sports fan who has escaped the cold of Ohio to live under the Blue Skies of North Carolina. Jim is a devoted husband and father of three young kids who loves to camp, hike, run, and make YouTube videos that help online entrepreneurs get their legal house in order so that they can focus on building amazing businesses.
Jim is super approachable, super smart, and I’m so excited to sit down with him for this episode.
On Today’s Show You’ll Learn:
Trust me, getting the legal stuff sorted out is more than worth it. Not only will you be protected if anything were ever to happen, but you’ll also have peace of mind knowing that everything in your business is set up as it should be. Definitely take time to tune in to this special episode!

For those of us who run live events, one of the big challenges of 2020 has been what to do. Do you cancel them? Do you take them virtual? What’s the best solution?
Today’s guest, Hallie Sherman, planned a live event for this July that she ultimately decided to take virtual. And guess what?! It ended up being a HUGE success!
Today we're going to break down, why it was such a big success; what went into it; and why, for the foreseeable future, she's going to stick with virtual events.
Hallie Sherman is a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) and author behind Speech Time Fun and the SLP Coffee Talk podcast. She creates digital resources which she sells on Teachers Pay Teachers and provides professional development through her Speech Time Fun PD courses and virtual live event, The Speech Retreat Recharge.
Through all of her products and offerings she helps school SLPs plan with ease and confidence and avoid burnout. She helps remind SLPs that they can plan motivating and engaging sessions without using elaborate plans or materials. When she isn’t working on her business, she continues to work full time in the public schools and runs around with her 6-year-old and 2-year-old daughters.
On Today’s Show You’ll Learn:
The rise of virtual events has definitely been a really cool thing to come out of 2020. I know that we’ll be seeing a lot more of them, even when in-person events are possible again. I hope this episode gives you ideas for how to prepare for this change in the future.
Are you an online course creator, coach, or you've got a membership program? Are you looking to optimize your business to the next level and you're making at least $5,000 a month in revenue? If you’re overwhelmed and unsure what to do to take your business to the next level and you want my help to accomplish that, then my Accelerator program would be a great fit for you.

Have you ever hired someone for your team that didn't work out?
If you're nodding your head right now, you are very likely afraid to hire again because you don’t want to get burned a second time. I get it. I’ve been there.
But if you want to truly have a bigger impact with your business, generate more income, and create freedom in your schedule, you cannot scale your business alone. You need help.
So today I want to get into the mindset around hiring, particularly reframing it for those of you who have been burned before.
Remember, there is no failure. You can always learn from a situation that didn’t go the way you hoped. If you hired someone and it didn't work out, how can you use that experience to improve your next hire? Don’t let it stop you from ever hiring again.
Let’s talk it through together in this episode.
Have you taken the Business Blindspot Quiz? It’s 11 questions that are going to help you uncover the blind spots in your business. Once you’ve identified them, you will receive action steps for overcoming and fixing those blind spots so that you can regain momentum and traction to reach your goals. The feedback from this quiz has been so great, so be sure to take it at www.rickmulready.com/quiz.

Today’s episode is going to be a “best of” replay of one of the most highly downloaded episodes in 2020.
My guest on this episode is Kate Dillon. Kate is in a very niche market. In fact, she’s known as the “Girl Who Sells Race Car Parts” and she has an e-commerce business that at the time of this recording back in January, was projected to break 7-figures in 2020.
In this episode we cover her journey in starting and growing her online training business in 2019, and all the lessons that she’s learned along the way.
Kate initially created an online course for race car drivers, which she turned into a membership site in the latter part of last year. You’ll hear about the first webinars she did to promote her offering, and what happened when she got intentional with her Facebook ads marketing (and stopped just boosting posts)!
She admits that running ads in the beginning was “freaky and scary”, but as you will hear, Kate has done an amazing job on them!
Kate uses a ton of videos in her business and is super effective at using Facebook groups in her overall marketing strategy. Kate knows her target audience very well, which allows her to drive all of her messaging and marketing to an audience that isn’t used to purchasing online course offerings.
I got so much insight from what she had to say in this conversation so I am excited to bring it back in case you missed this episode the first time! Stay tuned because I am excited to have her back on for an update in 2021!
On another note, have you taken my business blindspot quiz yet? We all have blindspots in our business and this quiz will help you identify what your main blind spots are and give you strategies for how to overcome them. The feedback from this quiz has been awesome, so be sure to check it out at rickmulready.com/quiz.
