This week we’re chatting with business coach, Luisa Zhou. Luisa has an incredible coaching business built on the idea of helping everyone become a little bit more entrepreneurial. Whether it be by transitioning out of your corporate job and starting your own business, or staying in your 9-5 and creating a course to help you share your expertise, she has got you covered.
Luisa is internet famous in the online business world for her multi six-figure launches and building a seven-figure business, but often not talked about is how she was able to do it. It comes down to her ability to experiment and test with intention. She has done that by creating a business that makes room for trying and failing, keeping her team nice and lean, and preparing herself mentally for failure.

Some things we talk about in this episode:
- Luisa is an engineer by trade
- Transitioning into creating evergreen content
- Creating and tracking experiments isn’t hard!
- Goal setting should be based on benchmarks you’ve already seen in your business
- Think slow and simple as you move forward
Key takeaways:
- TAKE YOUR TIME: Luisa has maintained only two major projects for the last 4 years of her business
- Now that those two are built up, she has more time to work on experiments
- Making your experiments timebound and having baseline consistent revenue keeps the fear of failure at bay
- Difference between goal setting and experimentation is that you should expect your experiment to go wrong
- If it meets or exceeds your expectations, that’s a bonus!
