HERO HIGHLIGHT
Eliana Goldstein, a speaker and coach, founded Eliana Goldstein Coaching in 2019 and developed The Career Upgrade Framework. Featured on CBS, CNBC, and The Wall Street Journal, she uses Kajabi to scale her impact and manage her programs efficiently.
Eliana’s advice for starting the year strong?
"Create a revenue roadmap for 2025. Set a revenue goal for the year and then reverse engineer how you will get there. Go through each product/service you offer and map out a revenue goal for those products and services each month to set clear and definitive revenue goals. I advise two roadmaps: one that outlines how you'll hit your stretch goal for revenue and another roadmap that outlines your more realistic goal for revenue."
