The art of doing less and making more with Amy Porterfield

SUBSCRIBE   Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Stitcher

In this episode of Lead with Love, I talk to my dear friend and online marketing expert, Amy Porterfield. She’s the host of one of my favorite and top-ranked business podcasts, Online Marketing Made Easy, and the creator of some amazing bestselling marketing courses like List Builders Lab and Courses that Convert.

Amy has worked with big brands like Harley-Davidson Motorcycles and Peak Performance Coach, Tony Robbins, where she oversaw the content development team. So if you want to learn about streamlining content creation, Amy is your girl!

What I love about Amy is how intentional she has been in building the right business model for her. She has built a multiple seven figure education company as an introvert and using that to her advantage.

She deeply cares about serving and nurturing her global community of over 250,000 online entrepreneurs, and in this episode she shares how she does it.

“I learned the art of do less, make more. I never believed it until I had to slow down and do it myself.”
