THE EMAIL GROWTH SHOW EPISODE 230
Sometimes the most powerful episodes aren’t teaching episodes.
They’re conversations.
The kind where you hear someone say the thing you’ve been thinking quietly to yourself.
Why isn’t this clicking when I’ve done everything right?
That’s exactly what today’s episode is.
I’m joined by Julie C. Butler, a virtual summit coach who helps women grow their audience and income without relying on social media or constant content creation. In this conversation, Julie shares honestly what it looked like to move from feeling stuck and second-guessing everything to creating real momentum fast.
No highlight reel.
No inflated promises.
Just the truth.
Listen to this episode here:
TL:DR
What you’ll learn in this episode:
– Why having all the pieces doesn’t always equal momentum
– The danger of trying to self-coach your way through a plateau
– What shifted after Julie attended the Empire Expansion Event
– How strategy + support led to fast, sustainable growth
– What it really feels like to have a coach in your corner
When You Have Done Everything and It Still Feels Stuck
When Julie and I first connected, she wasn’t new to business.
She had experience.
She had solid offers.
She had funnels and systems already built.
From the outside, it looked like everything should have been working.
But internally, Julie felt like she was on a hamster wheel. A lot of effort, careful planning, and still no consistent income growth.
And this is such an important place to name.
Because when things aren’t working despite doing the right things, it doesn’t just frustrate you. It messes with your confidence.
You start questioning whether funnels even work anymore, whether you’re missing something obvious, or whether it’s you.
Julie talks openly about how heavy that season felt and how isolating it can be when you’re trying to solve everything on your own.
Why Strategy Matters More Than More Information
One of my favourite moments in this conversation is when Julie talks about thinking she didn’t need support anymore.
She had plans.
She had tools.
She even had AI helping her map things out.
And tools are powerful. They can take you far.
But what was missing wasn’t effort or intelligence.
It was strategic perspective.
Someone to help her see what mattered right now, where to focus next, and how to move forward without burning everything down.
That’s the difference between consuming more information and receiving real strategy.
What Changed When Julie Stopped Doing It Alone
Once Julie stepped into strategic support, things moved quickly.
Not because she rushed.
Because she had clarity.
Within weeks, she refocused on intentional email list growth, hosted a strategic bundle, created new aligned offers, and launched with confidence instead of second-guessing every move.
The result?
Julie tripled her income in 60 days.
Not through hustle.
Not through panic pivots.
But through clear decisions, supported action, and a strategy that actually fit her.
Confidence Grows From Clarity
One of the biggest shifts Julie describes is not just financial. It’s internal.
She talks about stepping into her big deal identity.
That doesn’t come from hype or pressure.
It comes from knowing what you’re focusing on, why it matters, and having someone in your corner while you implement.
When the strategy is clear, confidence follows.
Momentum becomes sustainable.
And consistency stops feeling so heavy.
If You Are Nodding Along
If you’re reading this and thinking:
I know I’m capable of more.
I don’t need another course. I need direction.
I’m tired of guessing what to do next.
Let this episode be your reminder that you don’t have to figure everything out alone.
Support is not a weakness.
It’s a shortcut to clarity.
Your Next Step if You Know You’re Capable of More
If you’re in that place where you’ve built the offers, the funnels, the plans… but something still isn’t clicking – you don’t need more information. You need perspective.
Book a Business Breakthrough Audit and I’ll look at your business with fresh eyes and show you exactly what to focus on next.
If you’ve been thinking “I should be further along by now,” this is exactly the moment the audit was made for.
