This week we chat with Danira (Dani) Cancinos of Dani's Dulce Confections. Dani and I met as students of Amy Porterfield via her Digital Course Academy and Momentum Membership. Dani's story is one of true determination that resulted in breaking the economic and scarcity mindset cycle that was keeping her family from getting ahead.Dani tells us how she went from making $20,000 a year working a part-time job to earning a six-figure income from building her own business. Starting in 2012, Dani would sell pastries to her local community on the side. From cheesecakes to cake pops to caramel apples and beyond, her local following continued to grow. Once she started to leverage social media to get the word out, people from across the country began to take notice and ask her to teach them how to create their own goodies.Here's an overview of our discussion:Growth Through ObstaclesLaunching a course during COVID-19The one shift that saved her sales goalManaging a one-person business during personal illnessFrom Employee to EntrepreneurWhen to know when to leave your jobImpact on family and friendsManaging growth expectations, pricingThe Impact of Online CoursesInvesting in online courses for business growthExponential revenue growth when launching online coursesHow Dani's courses grew from $10 to $200Growing a business to six-figures in less than a yearGrowing Your Audience Through InstagramStarted with 15 second tutorialsBuilding an audience through this one simple actionHow to leverage IG live and stories to grow client-baseKey tip on figuring out what to post when you're stumpedFacebook Groups to Grow the BusinessHow to utilize Facebook Groups as teaching platformGrowing a course from 10 people to 700Showing up and over-deliveringSegmenting courses into separate modulesHandling Guilt, Fear, AngerGrowing from a single mom of three kids, financial struggles, scarcity mindsetOvercoming anger and unhappinessDealing with 'success guilt' when making more money The impact of success while raising kidsIdentifying fear and pushing it asideBreaking a toxic generational cycleThe power of therapyBook recommendation: Joyce Meyer - Living Beyond Your Feelings: Controlling Emotions So They Don't Control YouMoving Forward - Goals and VisionPorting content to Kajabi, social media as 'borrowed land'Continuing to create online courses, serve her communityNew membership offeringBuying her first homeMuscle Creative Wrap-UpIf you could listen to only one music artist for the rest of your life who would it be?

Episode 13: How a Digital Course Business Took a Single Mom from Struggling to Six-Figures

Would you like to make a good living out of a confectionary business? Do you believe that it's possible to do this? Today, I'm excited to introduce you to Danira Cancinos, from Dani's Dulce Confections, in Sylmar, California. One of the questions I'm asked very often is "Can you make enough real money out of this to support a family?". Although I always say you can, people still seem to think it's impossible. So Dani is here on the show with me today to prove that this is, indeed, possible. Listen in, to find out about Dani and her awesome, inspiring, and lucrative confectionary business. Dani has really achieved a lot! I've been her Instagram fan for a long time and her posts are amazing! When I see them, I almost drool over her creations because she makes some of the most delicious-looking treats that I have ever seen! Especially her caramel apples!  In addition to making all kinds of treats, she also teaches a number of online classes and some in-person online tutorials. She recently sold a caramel apple class, which earned her over five figures! This is truly incredible, so we will be talking about it in today's episode. Dani did not grow up in a wealthy family, so her business is all about dedication and putting in a huge amount of work. Tune in today, to hear her story. Show Highlights:  Dani tells the story of her business and how it got to where it is now. Dani is actually an introvert, so she's very shy. You need to step out of your comfort zone if you want to grow. Dani talks about her decision to start teaching. Dani's cake pop class is her most popular class, with close to eight hundred students! Dani's classes run on Facebook groups. People love to feel connected to the person behind the business and the classes. Dani really engages with her audience and this has helped her to sell so many classes. Dani seems to be taking fewer orders, and teaching more, lately. It takes a lot of dedication to do this kind of work. And it's taken a consistent effort for Dani to build her following. Why Danira took so long to leave her job. How Dani got to charge $200 for a class. She never imagined that she would be able to launch a course and make this kind of money! Investing in her business by learning from Amy Porterfield. Success doesn't happen overnight. You have to keep showing up and doing the work, even when you don't feel like it. Danira talks to us about the way that religion plays a big part in her life- and her business. It's not enough just to pray. You have to do the work. Dani gave a hundred percent to her caramel apple class. Using lists to plan, and time blocking to get beyond procrastination. Business requires a lot of sacrifices. What's coming up for Dani's Dulce Confections. Getting smart about managing money.
