Flipping the script to make my business easier
Learning to be a better leader
My plans to step up my Insta game (and an invitation to slide into my DMs @kate_doster)

[87] The Real Secret to Growing an Engaged Email List

Today on Inbox Besties we're going to talk about the real secret to growing an engaged email list.  No it's not complicated funnels or freebie fests... It's your mindset. 
I'm sharing with you one of the very first things that happens when people go through my signature course, Love Your List.  Doors will officially open again this Fall for Love Your List but if you're a VIP on the waitlist, you'll get a chance to join this Summer. 
http://loveyourlist.co/
The one thing I want you to walk away with from this episode is this:  Being on your email list is a privilege.
You'll learn why this mindset shift will:
Make a huge difference in how often you send emails
Increase your open rates
Explode your confidence levels
Repel the riff-raff
Create a real connection with your people 
And make it easier than you ever thought to create content that connects with the right people. 
 
If you've ever wondered how I make it look so easy, this episode is for you.
