Welcome back, Product Bosses! In this episode, we're tackling a common problem: Why aren't I making sales? We often overlook the simple yet crucial elements that can significantly impact our sales. This episode, inspired by your concerns, zeroes in on these key aspects.First, let's talk about clarity in what we're selling. Confusion is a sales killer. If potential customers are puzzled about our offerings, we're already at a disadvantage. It's vital that we make our products and services as clear and appealing as possible.Next, we focus on the conversion points. Where and how do our customers make a purchase? We need to ensure that these points are not only visible but also inviting and easy to navigate. A complicated or unclear buying process can deter even the most interested buyers.Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, we discuss audience. Do we have an audience to present our promotions and offers to? It's like the old saying goes, "If a tree falls in the woods and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?" The same applies to our products. No matter how great our promotion or offer is, without an audience, it's like it doesn't exist.We delve deep into these areas, providing insights and actionable strategies to help you understand your audience better, clarify your messaging, and optimize your conversion points. Join us as we unpack these elements and guide you towards more effective and successful sales strategies!Resources:If you love saving and making money as much as I do, go to theproductboss.com/moneytips and I'll send you a tip each week to your inbox.

Welcome, Product Bosses! In today's one-on-one strategy session, we're diving deep with Eileen, the founder of Old Millhouse Coffee. Join us as we explore her journey from running a multi-six-figure business with slim profit margins to aiming for a million-dollar venture. Eileen's story might sound familiar to many of you – a business owner striving for growth but caught up in the nitty-gritty of daily operations.Eileen's situation is a classic case of balancing growth with sustainability. Initially, her coffee shop was thriving in sales but struggled with profitability, limiting her ability to expand and hire more staff. However, with strategic changes like raising prices, she's seen a significant profit increase on the coffee shop side of her business. But that's not all – Eileen also runs popular local vendor events in her community, which, despite their popularity, have yet to see substantial profits.The big question now is, can Eileen transform both aspects of her business into million-dollar revenue streams without burning out? Or will she have to sacrifice one to focus on the other? Our goal for Eileen is ambitious yet attainable – turning each side of her business into a $1 million revenue generator. That's a combined target of $2 million! Stay tuned as we unravel the strategies and insights to help Eileen reach this incredible milestone. Let's embark on this journey together and discover the path to a dual million-dollar business.Resources:Learn more at oldmillhousecoffee.com, and if you’re in Massachusetts make sure you drop by – and bring your dog!Follow Old Mill House Coffee on Instagram: @oldmillhousecoffeeThe doors to my Inner Circle Mastermind are now open!

It's often said that the biggest hurdles in our journey are the ones we place in front of ourselves. We observe countless entrepreneurs out there who've dedicated years, resources, and endless passion but are still in search of that breakthrough. What's missing? Perhaps it's a belief in oneself.We’re discussing some of the challenges Product Bosses face and tools to overcome them:Limiting Beliefs & Self-Talk: Are the stories we tell ourselves creating barriers? It's time to analyze that inner dialogue.Mindset Matters: Our mind is potent, and our thoughts can shape our reality. If we let doubt creep in, it may dictate our actions, or lack thereof.The Self-Sabotage Trap: We'll delve deep into why some of us unconsciously set ourselves up for failure and how to break this cycle.Crafting a Constructive Thought Process: Adopting a growth mindset, where challenges are opportunities and failures are lessons, can change the game.Remember, success isn't always about the external factors.

Hello Product Bosses! We're excited to discuss something that we all have likely asked ourselves at some point, especially during our early business days. It's the question of having a business plan. If you're among those who believe that starting a business is synonymous with having a thorough business plan, we're here to tell you - that's not always the case!Being stuck in the traditional ideas of a business plan can often slow our progress. Our entrepreneurial journey since 2004 has taught us that you don't necessarily need a business plan to succeed.There have been countless instances where we ventured into new territories without a rigid business plan in hand. And guess what? We didn't let the lack of it stop us! So, if you're at the threshold of starting your business or considering developing a business plan after you've launched, know that it's not a must.During this episode, we'll delve into the five things that you genuinely need when you're starting a business or thinking about selling a product to your customers. So, forget about that business plan for a moment and join us as we discuss what truly matters when starting your product business.Resources:Are you ready to transform your business?

Hey Product Boss, it's time to open your eyes to the real strategy behind revenue growth! We’re here to help you get more visibility for your business and keep more money in your pocket. But most importantly, we want to debunk a common misconception in the business world — that more products = more money.We know how tempting it is to think that developing new products will magically increase your revenue. It's a common mantra: more products, more money. But wait! Before you jump into product development, we're here to give a resounding “no, no, no.”Why? Because every new product that you add comes with costs like research and development, design development, time, and even mistakes. We often overlook these expenses, thinking that the new product equals more money. But in reality, it might just do the opposite.Join us as we look at all the different ways your business can make more money without creating new products.

Today, we want to address a challenge many of you face - overcoming the fear of making investments in your business. This issue isn't foreign to us either; we've been there and understand how it feels.Here's the reality: investing in your business, whether it's in team, equipment, or space, is essential for growth. But the aspect that most often falls through the cracks is investing in your own education, coaching, courses, or programs. This might be because of unfamiliarity or simple fear.Looking back, we remember feeling scared the first time we joined a mastermind for $2,500 a month. It was a substantial leap of faith for us. We were a decade into our business, but something wasn't working. Frustration was mounting, and so was our debt. We knew something had to change. We weren't about to shut down, but we needed to invest to save our business, our minds, and our mindsets. And despite the initial fear, it was worth it. The returns we received from that investment shaped our approach to investing in ourselves and our business.And remember, sometimes, the investment you're most scared to make is the one that can save your business.Resources:Are you ready to transform your business?

As creators and business owners, we all aspire to create amazing, beautiful things – products that stem from our minds and take shape in reality. But one piece of feedback we've consistently received from our Multi-Stream Machine students is that despite having incredible products, the biggest hurdle is visibility. Nobody knows that these amazing products exist! Sounds familiar? Then this episode is definitely for you.We often think, oh, building a website or getting on Instagram is the solution, and we'll be noticed. But the truth is, it's much more than that. We fall into the trap of thinking that if we build it, they will come. But unfortunately, they won't, simply because they don't know where to go.Perhaps, like many others, you've built a website, you're active on social media, you've set up an Etsy shop, or you're selling on a platform like Fair. But the question remains, how will your potential customers know you exist?We've been emphasizing this for years now - it's crucial to diversify where you show up and make sure to show up where your customers are. Because it's not just about building it and hoping they will come. The key is to ensure they know where to go.Resources:Want a guide to over 308 business tools and resources to help you effectively run your product-based business?

Summer months can feel a bit sluggish for all of us in retail. With June and July typically noted as slow seasons, you might be feeling the strain of this period we commonly refer to as the "J months". We're here to let you know - it's not just you, it's not your business, it's a widespread experience.Over the years, we've observed some shifts in consumer spending habits. Particularly in January, thanks to an increased focus on self-care and wellness, retail experiences an uplift, making it a bit of an anomaly in the J-month trend.

How do you navigate the slow, "slumpy" period of June and July? We're here to discuss exactly that. We’ll help you steer clear of panic and self-doubt, and instead focus on what really matters. During these slower months, it's the perfect time to shift your perspective and focus on working ON your business, rather than simply working IN it.Join us as we debunk the myths of the J-month slump, and empower you with strategies to utilize this time effectively. Remember, your business isn't broken - it's just time to approach things differently.

Welcome to another episode of Just Jacq, Product Bosses! We hope you're making the most of your summer. Today, we're taking a different turn. We usually discuss transitioning from your full-time job to becoming a full-time product boss. But, let's flip the script today and talk about how you can maintain your full-time job while growing your product-based business.This may seem challenging because, as product bosses, we crave control over our time and freedom in our creativity. Often, we feel shackled by our '9 to 5' jobs and the dream is to break free. But, there's another perspective worth considering.A day job offers financial stability, pays for essentials such as medical insurance, and contributes to retirement plans. It's also the perfect opportunity to validate your business idea. So, instead of constantly thinking about how to escape your full-time job, can we shift our mindset? Let's explore how you can use the safety net of your full-time job to test, validate, and grow your business idea.Join us as we delve into three strategies that will help you maintain your full-time job while growing your product-based business.Resources:Want a guide to over 308 business tools and resources to help you effectively run your product-based business?

Welcome back to another “Just Jacq” episode of The Product Boss Podcast! We're thrilled to have you here with us today. We've been receiving some incredible "ask us anything" questions, and we can't wait to dive into them and share our insights with all of you.The first question we'll be addressing is: "How do you effectively add time into pricing? How do I pay myself?" It's an important aspect of running a business, and we understand the challenges it can present. We'll explore different strategies and approaches to help you determine how to appropriately account for your time and ensure you're paying yourself what you deserve.The second question we'll be discussing is: "What are your thoughts about staying a small business on purpose? What if your business is just a job you created for yourself? Is there a number attached to it?" These questions touch on the idea of intentionally choosing to remain a small business and finding fulfillment in that choice. We'll delve into the concept of purposefully embracing the size and scope of your business and how you can measure success beyond just financial metrics.Remember, if you want to ask us anything or have your questions answered on the show, make sure to follow us @TheProductBoss or @thejacquelinesnyder.

Are you a creator who's constantly innovating and producing? We totally understand, and guess what? We're the same way! Today, we're diving into a topic that resonates with many of our listeners – being a creative entrepreneur.We often encounter the belief that constant creation equals being a true artist, but today, we're debunking that myth. By sharing the story of one of our successful Masterminders – a multi-million dollar business owner and artist – we will highlight the importance of constraint in creation. This creative powerhouse, who aspires to be a household name, battles with the idea of constantly having to create new things because... well, she's a creative, right?In reality, the real key to successful entrepreneurship and artistry is the opposite: thoughtful constraint. Having the ability to narrow your focus, cut through the clutter, and concentrate on what truly matters is a sign of mature entrepreneurship and artistry.Let's get to the heart of the matter. How can you balance your creative impulses with the practical demands of running a successful business? Is it possible to feel fulfilled as an artist while still achieving your business goals? Trust us, it's not only possible – it's the pathway to greater success.So, whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned entrepreneur, join us today as we help you navigate the sometimes chaotic, always exciting world of creativity and business. Let's debunk some myths, focus your creative energy, and steer your business towards greater heights.Resources:Want a guide to over 308 business tools and resources to help you effectively run your product-based business?

Hello fellow Product Bosses! It's your go-to gurus, Jacqueline and Minna, back again to light up your path towards entrepreneurial triumph. We're peeling back the curtain today to share our blueprint for navigating the summertime business landscape. This season presents unique opportunities and challenges, particularly for us as moms. We've been tirelessly paving the way to this point, and now, we're ready to strategically dial it down for the summer, immersing ourselves in precious family time. However, we're not going completely off-grid.While you might not see us in the front row as often, we'll be working diligently behind the scenes to maintain the business momentum.

We stand on the precipice of yet another seasonal shift. Whether you're a parent, a summer enthusiast, or someone simply observing the changing times, we all experience the rhythm of the year in three parts: the traditional New Year, the transition to summer, and the commencement of the school year.This time of year as we transition from spring to full-blown summer, is when consumers are typically ready to spend. Think of it: weddings, graduations, summer camps, and more. It's a time filled with events and activities, much like the holiday season, and your customers are looking to make purchases to enhance these experiences.The key here, friends, is to understand and adapt to these changing customer behaviors. Consider holidays like Mother's Day and Father's Day, which were essentially designed to stimulate consumer spending during traditionally slower periods. These holidays, alongside others like Valentine's Day and Easter, are prime opportunities for you as sellers to lean into the consumer mindset and meet your customers where they're at.So, join us as we delve into the upcoming season change and provide strategies to better understand and cater to your customers' evolving needs and wants.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

In today's episode, we're going to remind you that it's okay to suck at something new. In fact, most of the time, it's inevitable! As product-based business owners, we've all been there - our first product launch, email, or video may have sucked. But we kept practicing, and eventually, we got better. So, if you're feeling stuck, afraid, or just need a little nudge to start something new, this episode is for you.It's easy to get caught up in what other people will think if we fail or make a mistake. But here's the truth: your self-worth is not tied to your success or failure. We're here to remind you that you are brave and capable, even if you suck at something new in the beginning. It takes courage to try new things and be willing to look foolish. So, let's embrace our imperfections and remember that failure is not the end, but rather an opportunity to learn, grow, and try again.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Today’s a really unique episode because we actually recorded it during our last episode of the season for Bosses & The Blend so we had a live audience during it! We've had a ton of new students join Multi-Stream Machine lately, and while we can tell you all about the tools, strategies, and steps to take your business to the next level, there's something else that's holding a lot of you back. Yep, you guessed it – mindset. Specifically, how it can impact women in particular.We're discussing the career advice given by female billionaires, moguls, and CEOs that's helped them succeed. These thought leaders, including Oprah Winfrey, Melinda Gates, Dolly Parton, and Suneera Madhani, shared their insights in a recent Inc Magazine article that really resonated with us. What's the common thread in their advice? Be true to yourself. Oprah said it best in a 2019 interview, explaining that she quit a job that required her to be inauthentic. Dolly Parton and Melinda Gates agree, noting that fitting in is overrated. It's a lesson that applies to all ambitious women. So let's embrace our authentic selves and unleash our inner superstars because you were made to stand out!So let’s get out there, and get ready to learn how to break through those mental barriers and become the entrepreneur you've always wanted to be.

Your path to success doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s but your own. That’s true for Aggie Burnett of AB Creative, a beauty product expert with her own amazing brand that has been sold in popular stores like Sephora.AB Creative, founded in 2017, helps beauty brands break through “cult status” and gain traction. They specialize in working with brands that are creating their own unique products rather than just customizing existing formulas off the shelf. AB Creative partners with brand founders who are personalizing and customizing their products by working with formulators or makers. These self-funded brands receive the support they need to start, grow, and scale, just like AB Creative's own self-funded brand.She’s sharing with us valuable insights on how to break into a big box retailer and she even talks about her personal experience with selling to Sephora.

Listen up Product Bosses, it's time to shift your mindset and take action! Our mindset and the way we think can absolutely hold us back from reaching our full potential. But as we dive deeper into the world of entrepreneurship, it's important to remember that the real money makers are the action takers, and if we continue to tell ourselves lies, we are going to get stuck in inaction.It’s crucial that we question the truth behind these thoughts and remember that they are just thoughts. We have the power to choose how we want to feel about them. When you start to get stuck in perfectionism, remind yourself that action is where it’s at. Action brings us more clarity than any amount of thinking can and that’s how you start to shift your mindset.We’re going to go over some of the biggest lies that you might be telling yourself — think of us as the Myth Busters to your subconscious. So let's stop letting our mindset hold us back with lies and start taking the actions necessary to crush our goals!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Are you looking to get more customers for your business? Look no further! From making warm calls to building an email list, you can find success in multiple channels. We’re going to discuss five different ways of getting more customers for your business.The traditional way is making cold calls — or as we call them, warm calls — but other options are available as well, such as content, paid ads, partnerships, and collaborations. Collaborations between brands with similar customers can be beneficial for all parties, as well as influencers who can influence other customers. Furthermore, word of mouth is a powerful tool, as it can be more effective than paid ads.By the end of this episode, you’re going to have a better understanding of the different ways to get more customers for your business, as well as how to best utilize them.

But we’re here to challenge you to think even bigger about what’s possible for your life and business — and here’s why!Our outlook on life is shaped by the messages we received as children: Did they teach you to dream big and believe anything was possible, or to live in scarcity and fear that the rug could be pulled out from under you at any moment? You don’t have to continue living with those beliefs! We get to shape our own narratives about what our future holds.Now is the time to think about what is possible and who you can be around to encourage that possibility.

What do burgers, chicken, and pancakes have to do with your product-based business? Other than making you hungry, maybe nothing. But there are some important lessons to be learned from the food industry that do apply to your business — and they’re all about focus.We’re going to talk about why you should become known for something and how you can do that. Even some of your favorite big businesses, they all started off by being known for one major product. Sometimes you think trying more is going to give you a greater chance of finding that one best selling product, but that’s not always the case. We’ll help you find your bestseller so that you can lean into it and easily scale your business because…simplicity scales!You’ll hear the story of Chick-Fil-A, who keeps their product lineup simple despite people asking for more, and has become the biggest fast food chain in the United States, grossing more revenue than McDonald's, Subway, and Starbucks combined. On the other side is the story of IHOP — or should we say IHOB — making the “what, why” decision to enter the burger market when they’ve always been known for pancakes. Besides making you hungry, these stories are going to help you realize the power of finding something that works and becoming known for it.If you need help finding your best seller or figuring out how to leverage your best seller, then be sure to join us for our FREE workshop series, The Product Boss’ Guide to Your Best Year Yet where we will dive into this and so much more.

Business is going to be full of ups and downs. Whether it’s marketing, sales, social media followings, or business growth…whatever happens, don’t take it personally. Look at everything as an opportunity to learn — it’s feedback, not failure.We always talk about the importance of finding your best seller and leaning into it to scale your small business, but some people don’t even know where to start when it comes to finding their best seller. You don’t have to have it all figured out from the beginning. The first phase of any business, which most business owners try to skip right over, is the test &amp; try stage, where your goal is to experiment and receive feedback. It’s the best way to learn!We’re going to share some tips and strategies on how to take what you learn not as a failure, but as feedback, and how to turn that around and use it to improve your business. We’ll also share how you can start getting intentional about seeking feedback in order to find your bestseller fast.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

You know what they say: New Year, new word! Well, maybe not, but that’s what we’re saying this year as we pick our word of the year for 2023!Every year people tend to set New Year's Resolutions, resolving to improve themselves in some way. While those can have their place, we here at The Product Boss like to choose a word of the year instead. Not only does this free you up to work on self-improvement all year, but it helps to guide your actions year-round instead of giving you a finite goal that, let’s be honest, you’d probably drop by mid-January anyway.We’re going to share what a word of the year is, our process for selecting our words, and some tips on choosing the right word for you and your year.

The year is wrapping up, and for most of us the busiest season of the year is already behind us. For many of us, this has been a challenging year, but hopefully one full of growth and good times as well!After busy seasons, it’s so important to audit your business — your launches, promotions, new products, and individual months — and take stock of what worked, what didn’t, and what you’d like to change.We’re going to walk through the questions you should be asking yourself as you do this audit to cover all of your bases, identify what’s working in your business, and create a plan to tackle next year using everything you’ve learned.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Stories can be a very underutilized portion of social media, especially on IG. When you’re trying to boost your sales, it can leave you guessing as to how to use them properly! Luckily, we’ve got a trick that will help you not only fill those stories, but also help you make more sales! Here’s a strategy we are seeing our students use—and the best part is that it doesn’t matter how many Instagram followers you have.This strategy is what we call “story sales”—a great way to keep your customers engaged and buying. The basic idea is this: post a sequence of photos in order for you to sell your goods on your Instagram stories. Include your prices and show what is available and accessible to your customers. Since stories only stay up for 24 hours, sometimes you need to repost the photos, but that’s pretty much it!&nbsp;There are a few reasons this works–one is that idea of a “scarcity mindset”. Your potential customers will worry that inventory is dwindling or the sale’s timer is running out, and it may just push them over the fence to make that purchase.This can be a great system for those who don’t want to show their face, for someone looking to get a bit of a cash injection for the holidays, or just someone wanting to experiment with some different tactics (after all, nobody can see what happens behind the closed doors of your DMs!)&nbsp; Try it out—it may just be the perfect strategy for your business.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Patrice Washington is known as the Money Maven. She’s an investor in Lite Pink, a fully female-funded product business. She spoke at the founder of Lite Pink Lori Harder’s home about how people can define their wealth and bring purpose to their lives and their business.She learned, through her own financial journey of building a 7-figure business straight out of college, that building and running a business won’t provide happiness if you’re having to sacrifice your health and well-being in the process. She also learned that in order to redefine your wealth, you have to redefine parts of yourself. That’s how she came up with her Six Pillars of Wealth.Patrice defines the Six Pillars of Wealth as:Fit: the importance of being mentally and physically fitPeople: creating relationships that matterSpace: setting up your life to support youFaith: believing in something greaterWork: living your life’s purposeMoney: achieving the abundance that you desireWe do a deep dive into how leading your life from these pillars is what builds true wealth, and how you can level up these six aspects of your life.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

We are just about 100 days away from the Holiday season, believe it or not! Does that stress you out?We know the Holidays can be busy and hectic, but 100 days is plenty of time to prepare and make sure you’re ready to crush it in your business—all while still being able to enjoy the Holidays yourself. We’re going to help you pre-plan so that you feel as prepared as you can.When it comes to getting ready for the Holidays, there are three main things that are important to prepare for:Time: We all have a limited amount of time every day; you need to be clear about how much time you want to spend on your business, and how much you want to spend with your family. If you don’t prepare for this beforehand, you’re going to find more time than you’d like going right into your business.Scaling: Being busier can mean more work, but not if you scale properly. Going back to the focus on time, you’ll want to figure out how you can get more work done without eating up all of your time.Focus: When you’re clear on what you want to accomplish in your business, it becomes easier to make time for those things that really matter.We go over all of this and more in The Product Boss’ Guide to Getting Holiday-Ready. And best of all: it’s free! If you’re feeling the stress now but you’d rather feel ease when the Holidays arrive, sign up for this exclusive workshop to get prepared for the busiest time of year.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

So many Product Bosses out there are working a full-time job in addition to running their product-based business—putting in all of the hours. But we don’t think it’s a stretch to say the goal is to take your side-hustle and make it full-time.We’re going to share some of the success strategies you can use right now to go from side-hustle to full-time business that students of our Multi-Stream Machine program have used, as well as examples from our own lives.Our four strategies for going full-time are:Knowing how much you need to make to feel comfortable leaving your job,setting a timeline for hitting your goals,buying back your time with delegation and knowledge acquisition, andhaving a commitment to your goal.When you put all of these into place, what you get is a realistic plan for achieving your goals, the confidence to get it done, and an attitude that will allow you to take massive action towards making it a reality.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

For this Small Biz Founders episode, Masterminder Sarah Gulfraz comes to us all the way from across the pond—that’s England, FYI—where she runs Peacock Supplies as founder. Peacock Supplies offers party and gift supplies specializing in multicultural and multi faith celebrations. They sell both to stock international retailers, independent stockers around the world and direct to consumer.It’s pretty common to see Christmas, Easter, and many of the predominant faith-based holidays represented and celebrated throughout the world, but for anyone who falls outside of that religion, they may not see their holidays represented at all—at least not with the same amount of energy and excitement.We talk about:Sarah’s entrepreneurial influences,how her early work experiences shaped her for business, andwhere she gets her drive to always be innovating.Many of the best business ideas come from meeting a need that you have. Sarah wanted to address a problem she noticed when trying to get her kids as invested in her personal holidays as they were with the mainstream ones, and now she provides that to people around the world.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Danielle Beauregard is the CEO and founder of Fusion by Design Collars which sells, as she jokingly calls it, “bougie collars for dogs.” They craft high-end leather collars and leashes, many of them custom-made, and embellish them with Austrian crystals, leather carvings, and paint.She started her business purely by accident. After leaving her comfy corporate IT job to start a business in dog training, she began using her longtime hobby of leathercrafting to make collars for her dogs, and that quickly spread by word of mouth as she fulfilled individual orders until The Virus That Shall Not Be Named hit and service-based industries dried up. She quickly had to pivot into focusing on those dog collars and leveraging her existing network to make that her full-time job.You’re going to hear Danielle give us the honest details about:How to pivot when life circumstances unexpectedly change,why you shouldn’t do everything in your business even when you can do everything, andbeing open to new business models as your business grows.In just over two years, Danielle has turned something she did on the side into over a quarter million dollars in revenue. She got there through acting fast, using the skills she already had, and hiring—even when she felt like she could do everything herself. And now, with the help of the Mastermind, she’s going to take her business to the next level.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

There’s a difference between being a product-based business owner and being a boss. If you sell a product, you can call yourself a business owner. But being the boss of your business, your life, and your destiny comes with building confidence and clarity.We all have limiting beliefs around our business, and we’re going to tell you exactly what you need to know so that you can gain that confidence and step into your role as the boss of your business:Know your customerKnow your best-sellersKnow your numbersKnow your busy seasonsKnow what you’re going to sell and where you’re going to sell itWhen you know more and you’re able to plan strategically instead of reacting or instead of doing unfocused work and just hoping to see results, that’s when you step into the role of boss, and that’s where confidence is going to come from. You can’t force yourself to feel confident, but you can do the work to create the circumstances that build confidence.And if you know someone who needs to step up to being the boss of their business, please share this episode with them and help them out!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

We’ve talked before about our journey to becoming investors in Lite Pink, a women-led beverage company founded by Lori Harder with a mission of empowering other women and sparking conversations. Now we’re excited to dive further into her story with the woman herself!She shares her inspiring story. Lori had a small, isolated life growing up—she grew up in a small town, was homeschooled, and had a very restrictive religious upbringing. Once she started branching out she found that it was really hard to make friends, especially quality ones. She knew she was meant for something bigger. And as she pursued that, she realized that there is only so much that you can do by yourself. You need a network, a tribe, to help you in life. That’s where her business started, and that’s at the core of what she does today.She also talks about:Making the most of unexpected delays,creating genuine connections, andasking for help in building your business.The biggest message we took away from this conversation is that you are never alone. Whether it’s the struggles you face in your business, the problems you’re trying to solve in your own life, or the message you’re trying to shout out to the world—there are people with you where you’re at that you can create a community around.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

We don’t advocate chasing trends at all—some of the best marketing tips out there are timeless. But following trends can be helpful in influencing the direction and flavor of your marketing so that it speaks to what matters to your customers and the world at large. And today, one of the hottest trends that customers are hungry for is wellness.The wellness industry is bringing in $1.5 trillion dollars annually, and consumers are looking for wellness across every purchasing category. But what actually is wellness, and how can it apply to your product if you’re not specifically in that market?According to a report by McKenzie &amp; Co., consumers view wellness across these six categories:Better health,better fitness,better nutrition,better appearance,better sleep, andbetter mindfulness.Even if you don’t fit into one of these categories, you can certainly market to them. As long as you understand that wellness is important to consumers, you can highlight the ways your product ties into wellness. You don’t have to change what you’re doing or start a new business, but it is valuable to understand what your customer values in their life. When you can relay the value of wellness in your business so that it speaks to your customers in a way that resonates, you are going to see results.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

If you’ve been following business coaches or anyone offering entrepreneurial advice online over the past ten years, you’ve probably been told—in no uncertain terms—that you need social media for your business. And yet, for many of us, social media just isn’t fun and we’re not seeing direct business results from it. So is it true? And if you need social media, how do you actually use it to see results?Whether you’re talking about Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or whatever platforms come out in the future, we’re going to dive into what social media is for, what it can do for your business, and what you should be posting.Things change very quickly on social media, so it’s hard to look at common advice from even just a year ago and apply it today. But let’s look at a kind of marketing that’s been around forever: TV commercials. Now, remember the last commercial you watched? They weren’t telling you to buy now. They were just trying to make you aware of the brand or product and paint a positive picture of what your life would look like with it. You still have to go to the store and find the product and put it in your cart and buy it, but you aren’t likely to do any of that if you’ve never heard of the brand before. That’s called brand recognition, and it’s what you need to be doing on social media today.In order to build brand recognition on social media, you need to:prove that you exist by putting things out there,share what your customer needs to hear to know, like, and trust you, andoffer a “window shopping” experience to show your customers that you meet their needs, wants, and desires.It’s important that you get started with this process early because it takes time to build relationships. You aren’t going to see direct sales like so many people expect, but if you start establishing brand recognition and building trust now, come the holiday season, people will feel more comfortable buying from you.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Jaclyn Johnson is one of the most incredible people out there – helping other small business owners grow and scale their businesses and bringing thousands of women together with her company. She’s an entrepreneur and product boss who started both of her companies with nothing but a laptop and an idea. She quickly grew them from self-funded side-projects to multi-million dollar businesses and nationally recognized brands, including the iconic Create &amp; Cultivate.Jaclyn is the multi-hyphenate entrepreneur. Her parents were both entrepreneurs in completely different fields, and she was always involved in their business in some way. It was in her blood and her upbringing. From a young age, Jaclyn was always willing to work hard and do what it took to see her vision come to life.Create &amp; Cultivate was an event ahead of its time. She was early to the blogging game and became a name in the influencer space. As she went to influencer events, she had this realization: There’s no reason we can’t throw events that look and feel beautiful for ambitious women outside of the influencer space. On top of that, it was something that was needed—entrepreneurship is lonely, especially for women, and they need a space where they can connect. Create &amp; Cultivate became that for so many of them!She talks about growing her business, what you need as you’re growing, finding the right community, her experience selling part of Create &amp; Cultivate, and why she invests in female-founded businesses.

As a business owner, it's very common to feel overwhelmed, especially when you are starting to scale or grow your business. It's easy to feel like you're drowning and have to do everything on your own to grow your business, but the truth is...you don't!Oftentimes, if you feel like you’re drowning in your business, you may think that you can’t scale because scaling will mean you have to do more, but that’s not the case! Taking your business to the next level doesn’t mean you have to continue living in the overwhelm but rather really allows you to step into the CEO role of your business.One of the best ways to do this is through a focus and stop list- something we taught our Masterminders on their retreat in Arizona. This list helps you to focus your energy on what you do best and should be doing and it also helps you to stop doing things in your business that are preventing you from reaching the next level.We talk about everything from hiring and delegating to revenue drivers to standard operating procedures (SOPs), all things that will help take your business to that next level.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to have an open conversation about mental health and how it can impact your life, especially as a product boss. We want you to know that there shouldn't be any stigma around discussing mental health which is why we believe this conversation is so important. We all struggle with it, so remember that you aren't alone and that it's okay to ask for help!Your biggest assets as an entrepreneur are your mind and your health.

Money is a huge part of our lives. It’s possible that money is one of the main reasons why you’re a product boss! But oftentimes, we see people make the mistake of handling their business finances with the same money mindset they use in their personal life. However, that shouldn’t be the case as they are separate things, and, as such, need to be approached differently. Here’s how.Usually, we want to keep things debt-free, but it can be unrealistic to operate a business – especially a small product business – without debt. We’re not saying you should rack up debt on purpose, but at the same time, you shouldn’t be scared to use the credit options available to you as tools to improve your cash flow.&nbsp;In this episode, we run through three of the best ways to do this, from getting a line of credit to small business loans. Remember, as a product-based business owner, you need to capitalize on ways to improve your cash flow so that you don’t get stuck. To do this, you’ll need to shift away from that debt-free mindset and start using financing and credit as tools to grow your business!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

As a business owner, you might be familiar with the saying, “You have to be fearless,” but that’s not necessarily true. What we have learned most recently, though, is that you do need to fear less, which is exactly what we are talking about in this episode! Life is scary, but knowing when to fear less is a big part of becoming a successful product boss – and just living your best life in general!&nbsp;As you know, we recently went to Costa Rica, and we want to&nbsp; share with you three transformational experiences we had while we were there that have completely changed the way we think about and view the world. The theme this week is to never be afraid of trying new things – or maybe just to move so quickly that you don’t have a chance to become afraid in the first place.&nbsp;A lot has been going on in the world lately, and many of our fears may be more present than before, so how do we proceed with our lives?

Pamela Pekerman is the product boss behind Hustle Like a Mom, a company on a mission to support mompreneurs in building bridges between entrepreneurship and mom life. She’s also pioneering her “edit to expand” method. Today, we learn all about how we can handle our to-dos and find focus, all while making our lives smarter, simpler, and more fun!Just like Pamela, we’re both moms so these tips were super appreciated. As a mom, it’s easy to hit burnout before you even realize it because you only get so much time each day between drop off and pick up, where you can really focus. This is why finding and setting your priorities are such an important way to find success.&nbsp;That’s where Pamela’s edit to expand method comes in. Because “you’re not going to eat the whole menu,” it really comes down to choosing the right tasks while making sure the goals you’re setting are actually manageable and realistic. Remember, where you focus is what you get back.It’s easy to find yourself paying for things in three ways: money, time, and energy. So making sure we’re only paying for the right things is really important. That’s not to say we should be paralyzed, worrying about making sure we don’t make a bad decision, but, as Pamela explains, it’s more about regularly reassessing your situation, decoding your community, and being ready for change!&nbsp;Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Stacey Ventura is the product boss behind [Be] Blends, manufacturers and makers of handcrafted bath, body, and home products with a focus on health and wellness. She’s here to tell us her story and all about what she’s learned along the way.&nbsp;[Be] Blends started off as an online store which evolved into a brick-and-mortar store later on as Stacey realized her customers enjoyed smelling and trying their products. Opening a brick-and-mortar was no easy feat, as Stacey quickly realized when a flash flood took out all of their inventory (and their store itself), right when they were gearing up to open. From Stacey's experience as a maker, she was able to pivot and implement techniques to help keep [Be] Blends in business!Stacey also shares with us how important her family is and how she has been able to build a business that allows her to be there for, and take care of, her family, regardless of the season. One of the ways Stacey has done this over the years is by getting out of her own way and removing herself as the bottleneck in her business, something many of you product boss's are familiar with!Through resilience, pivoting, and leaning into our Mastermind program for support throughout the ups and downs in her business over the past several months, Stacey has been able to continue reaching the goals she has set for herself and [Be] Blends. She was even able to take a trip to Jamaica and her business kept running!

Her Small Biz Founders story will really resonate with you.Cayla Gray produces fragrances and candles, and when they say “clean,” they mean non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and no parabens. They have four core scents – all handmade in Arizona. Kelly started her career with a dream job out of college, selling cosmetics. Since then, she’s taken her passion and turned it into a successful business of her own.Kelly’s dad was an entrepreneur so she grew up around product bosses and always saw it as something exciting that she could aspire toward in her own life. It was scary to walk away from the security of that dream job, but she explains how she found the courage to do it, and why it was one of the best decisions she’s ever made.&nbsp;One of the things Kelly does an incredible job of is telling her brand’s story, and making those connections with her potential customers. As a business owner, you should be sharing your story repeatedly with your audience to build those connections, and draw potential customers into your brand. Knowing the reason why you started your business and being able to share that story with your customers really allows you to connect with and attract the audiences that you want to sell to!&nbsp;One of the reasons Kelly has had so much success with Cayla Gray is due to her ability to share her story and connect with her customers.

We’re still coming to you from our hotel room in Costa Rica, and our time here has inspired us to talk about the difference between front and back-of-house. These are hospitality terms, but the principles can be applied to all product businesses.Front-of-house is when you’re facing the customer. Think receptionists in a hotel or wait staff in a restaurant. In a product business, this could be your branding, customer service, or even your brick-and-mortar store. The front-of-house role has a human element to it, meaning that you are interacting with the customers, and making sure they are satisfied with your product and company.&nbsp;Back-of-house is more the operational side of things. In a hotel, this would be the cleaning staff, or, in a restaurant, it would be the chef working in the kitchen. In your business, “back of house” refers to pricing and financials, research and development, production and inventory, or shipping and fulfillment.&nbsp;When you start a business, you’re likely wearing all of the hats within your company. As you start to scale and grow, you’ll need to start delegating to reach that next level in your business. When you’ve reached this point, it’s time for you to decide what your zone of genius is within your company. By doing so, you’re able to really focus on what you’re doing instead of struggling to keep up with all the hats.&nbsp;If this episode resonates with you, you might also be at a point where you’re a perfect candidate for our new Product Biz Accelerator course.

When we help product bosses level up their businesses, especially those scaling to six figures, there are four common mistakes we see. Let's dive in to see what these mistakes are and how to address them so that you can take your business to the next level.To start off, it’s important to know what “leveling up” actually means. Many people assume it’s increasing your sales, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Sometimes, it’s more important to refine what you’re doing and make it more profitable or streamlined before you start thinking about increasing sales, finding more customers, and so on. It’s easy to spread yourself too thin, and if you don’t have your systems in place, then you won’t be building your business on a solid foundation.More customers can be a great thing, but have you considered alternatives like selling more to your existing customers? We tend to think about social media in terms of algorithms and getting our brand in front of new eyes, but why not think about reminding your current customers that they haven’t purchased anything in a while? This is why we say “refine down to scale up!”Another common mistake product bosses make is trying to launch without a runway. Now, don’t get too caught up in the word “launch,” because this doesn’t just refer to launching your business, it refers to launching anything from a new product to an event or even a sale. Instead of just dropping a new collection, have you tried first building some suspense and anticipation around it? Let your customers know that something is coming, and give them time to get excited about it!These are just two of the mistakes we address in this episode, so make sure you tune in to hear about all four! It could make all the difference as you take your company to the next level.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

When people think about success, they often think about intelligence. But there are lots of different types of intelligence. We most commonly think about IQ, but that only shows one small piece of the picture. Another type of intelligence we often hear about is your EQ. That’s your emotional intelligence.Today, we want to introduce you to the concept of the RQ. This is your relationship intelligence.&nbsp;One of the most important factors when it comes to success is how well someone builds and manages their relationships.&nbsp;Relationships cover a lot of different things you might not think about. For example, it’s easy to forget that social media is a form of socializing, and that means we might not realize how much of our mental or emotional energy is being drained when we spend too much time there. It’s worth really thinking about how and who you engage with online. It’s easy to look for validation online, especially as entrepreneurs, when we should really be looking for it within ourselves.As a product boss, you’re probably going to start hiring people at some point (if you haven’t already). Again, our relationship with our employees is one that we really need to be aware of. So many people forget that professional boundaries must be set, and that unfortunately, your staff cannot be your biz besties.Don’t worry, though. It’s completely normal to want to treat people like your friends. Being an entrepreneur can feel lonely. There’s so much responsibility and pressure resting on your shoulders. Just remember that you’re not alone. That’s why we built this community, so that likeminded product bosses can share with and support one another.&nbsp;There are four questions to ask yourself to fully understand your relationships and realign your success. And we take you through each one of them in this episode, so what are you waiting for? Listen now!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

What we’re talking about today doesn’t come down to focus or motivation. It doesn’t matter how hard you work, there comes a time when you will hit capacity. As a solopreneur, that capacity may be physical, mental, or emotional, but the one thing that all of these have in common is that it leads to you becoming the bottleneck of your business. Let's discuss how you can move past this.So what is capacity, really? Maybe you’re a maker and your demand is taking over your supply. If you’re struggling to make enough of your product or even have difficulty with packaging and shipping it, in a timely manner, then you've hit your capacity!Or maybe you’re keeping up with fulfilling your orders but it doesn’t leave you with time for anything else. You need to work on your marketing or bookkeeping, but you don’t have a spare minute in the day. If this sounds familiar then, once again, you're at capacity and you've become the bottleneck in your business.You may find that your capacity is more emotional or mental rather than physical, which is completely normal. But it's important to remember, that once you hit these capacities you must focus on refining and stabilizing before scaling so that your business can continue to grow on a solid infrastructure.When you start out as a solopreneur, you’re doing everything. You’re the one making all the decisions and making everything happen. However, as you enter the growth stage in your business, oftentimes you will need to up level your mindset as well as move past those limiting beliefs you have to remove yourself from being the bottleneck of your business.After listening to this episode, if you're still struggling and want help refining and growing your business to that next level, then be sure to jump on the waitlist for our brand new group coaching program, The Product Biz Accelerator.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Cat and Nat, authors of the bestselling, Mom Truths, join us for a very special, eye-opening, and hilarious episode of The Product Boss to unpack their new book, Mom Secrets, which offers a raw, candid look at what it’s really like to be a mom.So often, we’re our own worst critics. Most parenting books are advice-driven, but this is designed to stop unnecessary feelings of guilt, negative body image, and more. Their work is a reminder that there’s no such thing as perfection. So long as you raise your kids with joy, you should definitely give yourself a break!&nbsp;Cat and Nat are awesome company and some of the confessions in their new book are truly great because, not only are they really funny, but they help to normalize these things we all go through as parents – but sometimes feel too ashamed to admit.&nbsp;That means that they tackle some heavy subjects, but it’s all with such a fun, light spin that it puts a little spring in your step. A lot of the confessions came from audience members at some of their live shows who would drop them into a fishbowl anonymously, so believe us when we say that some of these are genuinely hilarious – dad crushes, anyone?&nbsp;There might be a lot of laughs in this one, but today’s message is ultimately about letting life happen and dealing with it as it comes. That’s a really important piece of truth that more of us need to remember.&nbsp;Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

You’ve started selling and your business is validated, but it feels overwhelming or even impossible to take things to the next level. Know that the hard part is over because you’ve already proven that people want to buy your stuff. That’s amazing! Next up, you have your sights set on $100k and you may already be a student of Multi-Stream Machine, but still, some of you will hit what feels like a bottleneck in growth.Don’t worry! There are four phases to a growing business to pay attention to and we run through each one of them in this episode.&nbsp;First, it’s important to refine your brand and business, regardless of the phase of business that you are in. That means digging in and getting clear on your business. Ask yourself…What are you known for?&nbsp;Why are people buying your product?&nbsp;You obviously have something they want, so what can you do more of? What can you do less of? A lot of this stage of running a business comes down to the foundation. At every level, you should be refining and turning into that market fit of your business to cue into who your ideal customer really is.As we go through these four phases that are essential to business growth, remember to take a breath and be the boss of your business!

Claire Doody joins us for another Small Biz Founders episode – and it’s a very special edition, too. Claire is the founder of Copper Union Apparel, making beautiful clothing for radical fat bodies (sizes 12-38). Where, before, options for plus-sized clothing were limited, Copper Union is making unique and individual pieces available for different occasions, and in colors and designs that completely break the traditional plus-sized mold. Claire has created a bold, vibrant line that aligns with herself and her customers.&nbsp;At one point, she only designed what she perceived as trends and demand in the marketplace, but those designs didn’t sell. Then, she’d make an incredibly niche, personal piece, that reflected something she would wear, and that piece would fly off the shelves. This valuable experience is what taught her to follow her gut and trust that what’s true to her is what her customers want as well!&nbsp;Claire has faced many personal and professional challenges, including being diagnosed with cancer, along her journey. However, even after having to take significant time off work, Claire was amazed to come back and be able to continue building Copper Union, without having to start from scratch. One way that Claire did this was by not only using her brand voice to help build a loyal customer base, but also by staying true to herself and following her gut.We discuss all of this and more in this episode, as well as everything from the shape of the industry to the benefits of a Mastermind.

We decided to make 2022 the year we level up more than ever before. We’ve invested in ourselves over the years, but never like we are this year. Part of that means that, during this episode, we’re attending our first in-person Mastermind event of 2022 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Lucky for you, you’re being treated to a rare, in-person episode recorded in our hotel room.&nbsp;While we prepare ourselves, we thought we’d take a moment and run through all the ways we’re investing in ourselves this year. Hopefully hearing how we’re investing in ourselves in 2022 will inspire you to find the best ways to invest in yourselves and your businesses too!&nbsp;Normally, you hear about our own Mastermind program, but what about the ones we are a part of? All coaches are coached. Even the best coaches and businesses have coaches of their own. Being an entrepreneur is tough and we all need help from others sometimes, it’s totally normal!We talk about how we made it through the season of life we were in when we first started our business to where we are at now, the other Masterminds we signed up for, the incredible retreats we are planning to attend, and even the coaches and courses we’re investing in. It’s truly a behind-the-scenes look at our 2022 gameplan to level up The Product Boss. We’re excited to share this with you!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Our Small Biz Owners episodes are where we talk to the owner of a small business in our community, so that their story of starting, growing, and thriving can inspire you to do the same. This time, we’re joined by Emilie Toups of Toups &amp; Co Organics, a multimillion dollar skincare product business on a mission to create beauty inspired by nature.&nbsp;Emilie first started creating skincare and makeup in her farmhouse kitchen after discovering how organic tallow and other quality, natural ingredients made a huge difference in her skin and her family’s wellness. What started off as an Etsy shop four years ago has now turned into a multimillion dollar skincare business.Toups &amp; Co Organics is an incredible success story. Not only has the company grown and continues to grow financially, but through the assistance of our Mastermind program and investing in their business, Emilie and her husband, Trent have been able to buy back their time to focus on other things that matter- such as homeschooling their children.In this episode, we talk about getting over the feeling of needing to do everything yourself, the importance of investing in yourself and your business, how you can conduct job interviews properly when you begin hiring in order to make sure that you find the right help and we even discuss paid ads!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Joy Cho is the founder and Creative Director of Oh Joy!, a graphic design studio, lifestyle brand, and design company that has collaborated with top brands and organizations from Target to Band-Aid – even The White House.&nbsp;Joy is a master of many trades, having also worked as a graphic designer, blogger, mama of two, consultant for numerous businesses, and having authored six books (with a seventh on the way). She was named one of Time’s 30 Most Influential People on the Internet two years running, and she holds the most popular account on Pinterest with over 15 million followers (something she’s in the Guinness Book of World Records for, by the way).She joins us to discuss her unusual path to profit. It’s an amazing reminder that no one goes on the same journey as anyone else. Whatever you’re doing and wherever you are in life, your path doesn’t necessarily have to look like anyone else’s. There’s a lot to learn from her account of just how her brand took off and, then, leveled up to the huge success story that they are today.We also talk about what it’s like to be the face of your business when you’re an introvert. Joy believes it’s something you can learn, and gives advice for anyone who wants to step into the limelight to sell their products but lacks the confidence to do it. She believes the personal connection you can offer to your company can be really meaningful for your customers, so it’s definitely advice worth taking.This is a wide ranging conversation, where we touch on everything from hiring and scaling your business to the point that feels comfortable to you, how Joy balances work with her family life, and the time Michelle Obama invited Joy to design the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.

Kimberly Cannon is the Small Biz Founder behind Pipermoon blankets. We’ve worked with her in our Mastermind and, now, she’s on hand to tell us her story, what she learned by weathering the pandemic, and so much more.As you know, we’re always excited to share with you the success stories of our students, Masterminders, and community members – and Kimberly is amazing, so it was really inspiring to speak to her for this episode.Her brand, Pipermoon, creates and sells adult swaddle blankets made out of soft, jersey knit material. They’re super comfy, and big enough for adults – because why should cozy blankets be just for kids? We could all use a little more of that special feeling of warmth and security these days.COVID brought unique challenges to everyone, but Kimberly found that people began embracing Pipermoon blankets as a way of sending loved ones a “hug” when they couldn’t do it in person. She is super resilient; you can hear it in her voice. Having overcome so many obstacles over the last few years, in both her personal and professional life, she’s now completely and utterly thriving.&nbsp;It’s so empowering to see how well she’s doing. It’s a reminder to always look for silver linings and growth opportunities, even when it feels like things aren’t going so well.

Lindsey Schwartz is just like all of you. She woke up one day and went, “Wow. I’m meant for something more.” She believes that women are wired to create, and wants to help them put their stamps on the world in a unique way. She’s the founder of Powerhouse Women, and she’s here to share some of her amazing advice.We met Lindsey at the Lite Pink dinner (she’s a fellow investor!), and we were so impressed by how connected she is to her community. Her book, Powerhouse Woman, tells her journey from working in the world of wellness before moving into entrepreneurship. She touches on many relatable problems that most people go through, like imposter syndrome, and how it grows in proportion to your goal.We discuss tips on growing and scaling, from how you can turn one big launch into multiple smaller launches to create more engagement, to how you can engage your audience in a way that makes them feel personally invested in your products.&nbsp;Lindsey felt disconnected from her purpose for many years, but she’s completely turned that around to create a life that she loves. Her mission is to help other women do the same. Tune in to soak up her inspiring entrepreneurial energy!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

With the focus the world puts on leadership, it can be easy to forget that no one person runs a company completely on their own. No matter what your business is, you’ll forge relationships along the way – many of them beneficial, all of them educational. We wouldn’t be here today without each other so let us tell you just how important your ties with other people are.&nbsp;On your path as a product boss, you’ll meet people, pick stuff up, and maintain certain relationships. This will look different every single time and for every single one of you, so don’t feel as though your story will be the same as those around you.&nbsp;A common thing that we see in product bosses is treating their staff as peers. They may be close friends, but that doesn’t mean that you should talk to them about business decisions when you’re operating at a certain level. At the end of the day, you’re going home with the risk, not them.Napoleon Hill defined a Mastermind as a meeting of two minds and, to this day, a Mastermind is one of the best ways to find helpful and supportive relationships. The idea is when two minds come together, they form a third mind, and that’s something you can see with us. When we first became friends, we created a third mind that you’re listening to and interacting with today.&nbsp;Remember if you have big dreams and goals for your business, you don’t need to do this on your own!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

One mistake people often make is thinking it all comes down to strategy, when, really, the most important thing is mindset. It can seem daunting or overwhelming to change how you think about running your business as it grows, but these kinds of shifts are critical to being able to scale your success.&nbsp;Chances are, if you run your own business, you’re a visionary. You have lots of ideas, you spend lots of time thinking about the future, and you dream really big. But the bigger your company grows, the harder it becomes to find the space to live the life you want and avoid burnout.&nbsp;Sometimes, you might feel like you have complete clarity, but other times, you feel like a chicken flailing around with its head cut off. That burnout comes from not allowing yourself to be the visionary that you are.That’s why we’re going to spend some time exploring what separates six and seven-figure product boss mindsets from the rest. Make sure to listen to this episode even if your business makes less than that. It never hurts to hear how other people approach their companies, and it might be good practice for when you’re making that income yourself!For starters, one common trap people fall into as their business grows is not knowing when to stop wearing all the hats. When you start a company, you’re doing everything, or almost everything, yourself. It takes a lot of mental readjustment to get used to the idea of hiring people to do work for you, trusting them to do it to your standards, and even giving yourself permission to step back and focus on other things. But it’s an important step to take because, newsflash, you – the boss of your company – could be the bottleneck!&nbsp;You’ve earned the ability to pick what you want to do in your company, so pick! You might want to stop going into your store, you might want to hand off your social media accounts, or you might want to step back from production. Great! Now it’s time to hire people to make that a reality.Remember that you’re not always going to be hiring for a helping hand. At some point, you’re going to need to start attracting leaders who can make decisions and keep things running for you. You’re a decision maker; not a doer, but that doesn’t mean that you have to make every decision yourself. There’s no limit to how much you can grow.

Kelly Roach is a very special guest. This is her fourth time appearing on The Product Boss and there’s a good reason we’ve had her on the show more than any other guest. Simply speaking, she’s a marketing genius. We listen to her podcast, we’ve read her book.&nbsp;As a former cheerleader and Fortune 500 executive, Kelly is now an eight-figure entrepreneur who helps people build and scale companies online. Her multimillion dollar company, Unstoppable Entrepreneur, is the fastest growing coaching program on the market. She’s also the co-founder of The Courageous Brand, designed to create positive societal movement by giving young girls a chance to rise to the top and break the glass ceiling.&nbsp;Her new book, Conviction Marketing, is out now. We’re here to discuss exactly what conviction marketing is and how it can help any product boss promote their business and get the word out about their products. Kelly’s here to let you know that you can achieve any level of success that you want. Our conversation, like always, is truly inspiring.&nbsp;We cover it all, from having a unique story, the importance of being authentic to yourself and your brand, and being (or not being) the face of your business. We even talk about the difference between having a following and being able to convert that following into movement and sales.

Video is one of the secret tools that can make all the difference in your marketing. It’s cheap, effective, and stats show that good video content can make all the difference to leveling up your sales. Krista Mashore is a top digital marketing consultant and our guest today. She’s here to give us the skinny on how you can use video to boost your business.&nbsp;Just knowing that we need to use video doesn’t mean we know how to properly utilize it. And starting out with video can be daunting, even though it shouldn’t be. It doesn’t need to be a full Hollywood production. A simple video showcasing your product – we talk about a seller who had an amazing hit with a video of one of her shirts hanging on a chandelier – can make all the difference.&nbsp;For those of you who are introverts and find the idea of being in front of the camera too scary to take the plunge, don’t let that become a crutch that prevents you from pushing yourself and reaching a new level of potential! For a lot of people, being an extrovert is a muscle that you can exercise and build. It doesn’t have to come naturally. Just don’t give up at the first hurdle.&nbsp;If you don’t believe us that getting video right is worth your while, listen to what Krista has to say in this episode.

Even more, an engaging video will perform better than highly produced, glossy content.So long as the video showcases your product or service effectively, that’s all that matters.&nbsp;Interruption marketing – that’s where you hook someone in while they’re casually browsing social media instead of actively looking for something to buy – is one of the most effective ways to market.

We’re continuing our Lessons Learned series so that you can hear the incredible stories of our Multi-Stream Machine students who’ve seen amazing results ever since signing up.&nbsp;When we showcase makers, a lot of you ask, “Well, what about artists? It must be completely different for me, right?” And no! That’s not the case. To show you how the same principles still apply, this roundtable discussion features three artistically focused product bosses.Introducing Suzanne Godbold, Creative Director of Three Best Bakery. Suzanne is a podcast veteran at this point, having appeared on the show several times in the past. She launched Three Best Bakery in 2016 and her amazing boutique shop is now thriving, best known for their super popular smash cookies.Pet Paintings by Nicole is Nicole’s outlet for their custom artwork.

They launched their business in 2015, and are continuing to scale with multiple artists employed under their brand.Cara Maybee started Desert Rose Equine in 2014, pioneering designed stirrups for use in horse riding. Her products go above and beyond the tack readily available on the market. She’s carved out a name for herself with a highly desirable product within a niche field.&nbsp;Between the three of them, our showcased business owners are three very different types of artists who prove that the lessons you learn in Multi-Stream Machine are universal. If you’re a creative who doesn’t see yourself being able to apply business advice to your work, then this episode is for you.&nbsp;The stories you’re going to hear are inspirational, and prove the worth of investing in yourself, so that you can determine your own path to profit, and be prepared with the proper steps to take when your business blows up!Doors to Multi-Stream Machine are CLOSING SOON !

Today, we’re interviewing some incredible product bosses who are handmade business makers and owners. Half the members in our community are makers, so we know that showcasing their success is something that can really inspire you to level up your business and your profits.&nbsp;We’re joined by Sarah Waggoner, Emily Gallardo, and Mindy Keegan – three of our Multi-Stream Machine students who’ve seen amazing results since signing up.&nbsp;Sarah is the product boss behind unique bottle and jar sellers, Heartland Lettering, Emily Gallardo is the owner and founder of EJ Clay Co who sell handmade clay earrings, and Mindy Keegan is the mama behind Made for Mama Shop who sell unique mugs designed to become a meaningful part of your life for years to come.&nbsp;More than just inspiring, their stories are packed with lessons to be learned for anyone, whether you’re just starting out or looking to take the next step forward.&nbsp;The one common factor between all three of them is that Multi-Stream Machine is what allowed them to create their very own path to profit. Even better, through implementing the modules learned in MSM, each of them saw such amazing results that they were able to pay off the course within a month of joining.The biggest lesson we want you to take from today’s episode is that each and every one of you has your own path to profit. You just have to figure out what it is!&nbsp;Tune into this episode to hear all about how Sarah, Emily, and Mindy went from feeling lost and completely disorganized in their business to increasing their sales and being able to scale after implementing the modules they learned in Multi-Stream Machine.&nbsp;In case you haven't heard, the doors to Multi-Stream Machine are now open for a limited time!!

You have an incredible business, but if you’re relying on one platform or one main stream of revenue, you may find yourself in trouble in the future because we never know what the future will bring! What would you do if your main stream of revenue no longer existed? Or if the platform you rely on went down? Let's discuss how you can protect your business when you don't have control of the platforms you're selling on.If you’re relying on one platform, it doesn’t matter how established it is, you might find that something happens and suddenly you’re left without your key, or only, revenue stream. For instance, one of our Multi-Stream Machine and Mastermind students had three successful Etsy shops, but she accidentally used a word that was trademarked and Etsy shut down her shops and she had to start from scratch again.A second example comes from another one of our Multi-Stream Machine students who has her business on Etsy. A customer complained about her bestseller – the one product she built her entire business around – and that product was taken down.Now, we aren’t saying you should steer clear of Etsy or even move away from the one platform you’re on because this could happen on any platform you don’t own! Amazon could change their terms of service to something that doesn’t work for you at any time. Shopify could crash. Even if you have your own website, it could be hacked. Remember how helpless some people felt when Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp all went down at the same time in 2021?&nbsp;What’s the best solution to protect yourself and your business? Get. Onto. More. Platforms!You need to diversify your revenue streams because no one platform is safe. None of us would have predicted a global pandemic would come along and shut down in-person trade shows or close brick-and-mortar stores, right? Here’s how to find more sales platforms, more revenue streams, and the things you have to consider when you use them.&nbsp;If this episode resonates with you, we want to help you grow your business, get on more platforms, save time, and make more money!

This is the thorn in the side of so many small business owners: how do you get customers to find you? A big business can grow quickly and easily because they have a budget to back up whatever they’re doing. But what about small businesses? There are several strategies you can use to boost your visibility at any level, so let’s discuss them.Trying to promote and market your business can be daunting – after all, many of you probably didn’t become a product boss because you wanted to spend all your time in lead acquisition. A lot of people think “sales,” but they forget to think “marketing.” And when you’re starting out, you need to make sure that people know about your business, otherwise you’re not going to be as successful as you deserve to be. People can’t buy something unless they know about it!We’re big fans of bootstrapping, which can take many forms. In pre-COVID times, it often meant going out on the road to conferences and trade shows, making sure you had an in-person presence at important places and events. Well, markets and trade shows are making a comeback so it's time to start thinking about how you are going to market yourself in real life again.Another good example is how collaborating with a seller platform like Amazon or Etsy can be a game-changer – especially for smaller businesses. A lot of people are put off by the fees that they charge, so we spend part of this episode explaining why you shouldn’t let those fees scare you. Listen now for a rundown of these tips and strategies, plus many more!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

There are a few things that come up again and again when we talk to makers. These mental roadblocks don’t serve any real purpose – they just get in the way! That’s why we’re dedicating this episode to taking some of them apart, explaining why you should stop listening to the nagging voices of doubt in your head, and why you’re a true product boss!A lot of you are makers because you’re creatives at heart. It makes sense: get so good at making things and it’d almost be silly not to start selling them. The problem is that so many of you run into this mental block as you try to build a business where you think, “I’m not a business person; I’m a creative!” It might seem strange at first, but there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t be both.Your customers don’t care who is actually making your products so long as the quality stays the same. Think about the products you buy and the brands you support. Would you be upset if you found out that the founder of the company wasn’t personally making each product themselves? Of course not! So, then why do you think that you have to create every single one of your products with your own two hands? The answer is you don’t. It’s just a limiting belief that you, as a maker and product boss, have about your business!&nbsp;It’s very common to have these limiting beliefs – especially as a maker. So just know you aren’t alone, but that we are here to help. Listen to the episode to hear us go through various examples and show you why you need to shift that mindset – you are an amazing product boss with an incredible product!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

It’s really easy to feel like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel. You’re busy – really busy. It’s not like you’re not working hard. You’re moving and doing all the things, but when you stop and look at your progress, it doesn’t seem like you’re actually getting anywhere. We all feel like this at some point after starting a business. It’s completely normal.&nbsp;You just need to learn how to get off the wheel and start taking steps forward. There are a few basic rules to remember that can completely turn your company's growth around. A lot of you are scared of change. But remember that that’s also normal. Change is a good thing and it’s what we want to achieve so that your business can grow.The first major tip we cover in this episode is the importance of needle movers. A needle mover is something that takes little effort but pays off with lots of return on investment (ROI). We like to focus on small things that either save time or earn money in the long run. One of the most common things people view as a needle mover is social media, but, the truth is, this isn’t always the case – especially lately. For a lot of people, ROI on social media isn’t actually that strong.&nbsp;A better example is taking the time to fully understand your numbers. For example, most businesses operate on the 80/20 principle which means that 20% of their products account for 80% of their revenue. If you know which 20% of your products are your best sellers, you can better tailor your whole business operation to capitalize on those products.To hear us explain this in further detail, as well as discuss the other ways you can finally get your business moving on its way to the next level, listen to the whole episode now.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

In this Small Biz Founder episodes, we’re highlighting the amazing work of Jenny Tse and her business, Sipping Streams Tea Company. She’s a certified tea specialist and Sipping Streams has won multiple prizes (including 1st place) at the North American Tea Championships. But how did she get there and how does she and her partner keep everything running?Jenny was born in Hong Kong and raised in Alaska where she was active in the local community, selling her family’s vegetables at the local farmers market. After traveling to visit various Chinese tea farms, she was inspired to share the knowledge with her local community.&nbsp;With restaurateur parents, and after pursuing two previous careers – one of which was as a high school teacher who taught tea classes – Jenny decided to open her own tea room. From there, the rest is history. Jenny published a book filled with her knowledge, has won multiple awards, and was invited to speak at the World Tea Expo. Just this summer, she started the world’s Northernmost tea farm, which is also the only geothermal tea farm in the world. There’s no limit to what she can (and will) accomplish!We talk about her experience launching and scaling Sipping Streams Tea Company, how it ties into her generational legacy, and how Multi-Stream Machine helped her on her exciting journey, even after she had been in business for several years.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

We tend to hear the same limitations over and over, specifically from our makers, which is why in today's episode, we want to make sure that you are thinking about things in a way that will benefit you and serve your business. Oftentimes we see this idea of the starving artist mentality in the maker community, either "you don't want to charge too much for something" or "maybe you don't find that there's value in it" or the most common one we hear is "it has to be made by me."As a handmade business, its really easy to allow this mentality to take over, but when it comes down to it, if you're getting stuck in the belief that other people can't do something the same way you can or people won't buy your product if it isn't made with your own two hands, then you'll eventually hit capacity and won't be able to scale. It's time to break some of these limitations down so that you can move forward with your business.The most common story we hear &nbsp;is, “I have to make all of my products with my own two hands.” Maybe this is you. Maybe you’ve built your brand identity around the idea of your products being handmade and unique. But, set down the rolling pin for a second and ask yourself, did you ever promise that those hands would only ever be yours? Chances are, your customers don’t care who’s making your product so long as it’s still made with care and held to the same high standard.&nbsp;So, is it really still worth your time to make every last thing yourself, or can you start scaling?This is only one example. At the end of the day, makers gotta make money! Your customers need and want your products, so it’s time to get over that starving artist mentality and step into a new mindset of being a true product boss. Tune in – let’s unpack why you shouldn’t let these common beliefs stand in your way.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

We know time is finite. It’s one of the scariest things people think about when they start leveling up their businesses. “How will I find time for the other important things in my life?” We’re here to give you a secret. (You can use money to buy your time back!)A fear of success is completely normal and it’s something we’ve been talking a lot about on The Product Boss lately. There’s a reason for that! It’s very common. When we asked about it during our last Bosses and Breakfast, so many of you put your hands up. That shared experience has stuck with us.The big reason we find it so scary is the worry that your priorities will shift so dramatically toward your work obligations that you won’t have time for anything else in life – especially important things like family, socializing, and self-care.Think about pre-cut fruit and vegetables. Some of you may buy these in the supermarket already because you’ve decided your time is worth more than the few extra cents it costs to not have to chop them yourself. Running a business is exactly the same! At a certain point, your time is so valuable that it makes more sense to hire someone else to do some things for you.&nbsp;Laundry services, pool cleaning, grocery delivery – we shouldn’t be afraid to outsource business-related responsibilities just like we do at home.That doesn’t mean you have to take yourself away from the things you enjoy most about your business. It’s all about establishing priorities. If, for example, you love fulfilling orders, you just need to figure out what someone else can handle for you that frees up your time to do that. Or maybe, you can find someone to assist you with fulfillment, so that you don’t have to take care of every single order yourself.&nbsp;Shifting the pieces around will look different for every business, but there’s always room when you have a smart plan. If you’re still not sold yet, and even if you are, tune in to the episode! We explain why your time is so much more valuable than money and why you should do everything you can to avoid wasting it.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Chances are, reaching $100k with your business is a lot more realistic than you think. You just need to start running things like a $100k business! Easier said than done, though, right? That’s why we’re laying out these five simple steps that can turn your business dreams into reality.The first step is simple: can you identify the product that works best in your lineup? The second is a little bit trickier, but still easy: are there any holes you can plug in your systems and processes? Where can you improve things? Once you do both of these, it’s all about upleveling your messaging, which can be as basic as making sure your product photography is on point. Last of all – and you’ll hear us talk about this again because we believe this is your true path to profit – leverage other people’s platforms. Collaborate, partner, and make use of services like Amazon and Etsy.&nbsp;This isn’t just about pointing you in the right direction. You’re going to come back to these easy steps, time and time again. Especially if, like so many of our listeners, the only thing holding you back is fear or a lack of confidence in your ability to take your business to the next level.&nbsp;Trust us: you can do this!Tune in to this episode to hear us break down each of these steps in detail, one by one.

The second Friday of every year is National Quitters’ Day. Why? Because it’s the day that, statistically, most people give up on their new year’s resolutions. Why is it so difficult to make the changes we really want in life? We know the obvious answers, but have you ever considered that maybe you’re scared of change – of success? Let’s really dive into what that means and what you can do about it.Let’s compare your business resolutions to a resolution that a lot of people make at the beginning of the year: trying to lose weight. Losing weight couldn’t possibly be scary, right? Well, for many people, it can! There’s the fear of committing to a new way of life, the fear that your lifestyle changes will make you feel less comfortable, and the fear of failure, all of which can contribute to you being afraid to make that change. Business resolutions are no different!Change is scary – especially when you are wanting to take that next step in your business to become successful. You may experience thoughts such as "I don't want to be successful because I won't have the time" or "I can't scale my handmade business because my customers expect me to be the one making the product." Ultimately, it comes down to your mindset and the limiting beliefs you have that can lead to you being the biggest obstacle on your path to success.So how can you overcome this? It’s simple, really. It starts with daring to dream – and by trusting in your abilities. Listen for more.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

We often expect our customers to hit that “checkout” button without being prompted or convinced to do so. But that isn’t how people behave. They buy on desire, needs, and wants, and, as a product-based business owner, it's your responsibility to share with them the benefits that your products will bring to their life. Here’s how you can set yourself up for success with customers who are ready to buy.For starters, you need to consider the "tried and true" foundational method of marketing, which is... know, like, and trust. Better known as… the customer journey! So how can you start building your customer base? First, you’ll want to curate a healthy mailing list – popular advice in our space, but so many of you don’t use it enough! One email a week should be the minimum for most product businesses because, remember, most of those emails won’t be opened or read. Your subscribers are fans, so they’re on your side. You’re not going to upset them by sending too many emails.&nbsp;Instagram is another good option. It used to be one of the best tools for community building, whereas now, it comes with much more of a mixture of pros and cons. The platform is essentially becoming a selling platform, meaning you have to "pay-to-play" to find new customers. Rather than focusing on selling on Instagram (which you should still do at times!), try shifting your focus towards engaging with your followers and converting them over to joining your email list so that you can market to them.Sure, you might catch a person at the right moment, but more often than not, it’s not the right time for someone to make a purchase when they see your messaging. They might not open an email or buy anything, but if you’re constantly reminding them that you exist, they will remember you when it comes time to buy. Building an engaged following, a community, and increasing your visibility across multiple platforms is what this episode is all about.&nbsp;So many of you tell us that you want to turn your product into a six-figure business. Well, let’s do some math, because that goal is probably so much more realistic than you realize. Once you know your numbers, you can forecast your sales. Building up a following of “ready to buy” customers is one of the best things you can do to make sure you get there.&nbsp;Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Our female founder this week is Suzanne Godbold of Three Best Bakery and one of our Masterminders. She opened her bakery business just three months before the pandemic hit and pivoted her approach to secure a six-figure 2020!&nbsp;Suzanne decided to take the leap and turn her baking passion into a profession. Her products were flying off the shelves and tasted delicious, but she lacked the systems to scale long term. She ran out of ingredients every day and felt she couldn’t increase volume without sacrificing quality and brand authenticity.&nbsp;We reflect on our transformational first session with Suzanne and the importance of mindset. With a bit of mindset work, Suzanne built the confidence to double her prices, which contributed to her success and ability to take bigger steps in hiring resulting in her being able to make more room for creative control and growth.You can hear in her voice how her confidence is growing by the minute, and her sales are reflecting that mindset shift. She’s even created a solid work/life balance, clocking out at 5pm every day to spend time with her family.&nbsp;The impact joining Mastermind has had on Suzanne is extraordinary. By getting out of her own way and throwing herself into the community aspect of Multi-Stream Machine and the Mastermind, she has broken through her self-limiting ceiling and ended 2021 as a multi six-figure business!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Welcome to 2022 – we made it! Now, it’s time to take stock of where our businesses are and map out where we want to take them over the next year. That’s why we’re bringing you The Product Boss’s Guide to Your Best Year Yet. To prepare, we spend this episode exploring how you can step into the role of boss in your business, now matter who you are or how you feel about being a leader.&nbsp;You might look at other people and wish you could be as forthright and self assured as they are. Rest assured, you can! It all comes down to confidence, and shifting your mindset about yourself and your business.For example, there’s no need to worry about how everyone perceives what you’re doing because you’re not here for everyone. Your business has its own customers and it appeals to its own demographic. Spending time trying to please everybody or over analyzing what other businesses in the same space might be doing can be a real waste of time. Do you! And remember to own it.To understand what that really means and more, listen to us break down how you can get out of your own way and step into the role of boss of your business!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Our female founder this week is Erin Port, the Founder of Simple Purposeful Living, and one of our Masterminders. She took her engaged readers as a blogger, and her informed background as a teacher, and created a product that would give her audience value.Erin represents another inspiring story of someone reformatting their own personal journey into easy-to-apply lessons that people can take and apply to improve their own lives.Like most of us, she’s had past businesses and brands that didn't work out, so she knows all about self-doubt. She candidly shares with us the thoughts she had before launching Simple Purposeful Living, and how an encouraging bedtime nudge from her husband lit a fire in her that’s yet to burn out.It’s moments like that that truly drive her. Her voice glows as she describes her family as her why, how launching the brand and driving to financial success was all meant to fund the adoption of her son, and so much more. It’s clear her heart is in the most beautiful place.We talk about her humble origins, selling via Amazon, and overcoming those creeping thoughts of imposter syndrome. One of the most inspiring messages to take away from this episode is the impact joining the Mastermind has had on Erin, and how much benefit she saw from implementing the Best Sellers Secret Challenge and Multi-Stream Machine in her business. She believes (and we agree) that sharing ideas with others is one of the best things we can do to learn and grow as entrepreneurs.&nbsp;Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Happy new year! We’re really, really, really excited for the year ahead (knock on wood). We want this to be a very big year for your business, which is why now is the time to make sure you don’t have all our eggs in one basket, and that you’re prepared for anything that 2022 might throw at you.The best thing you can do to level up, and take your business further than ever before, is to make sure you have an amazing marketing strategy. But if there’s one thing the last year has taught us about marketing, it’s that you can’t rely on just one stream. Your marketing strategy needs to look more like a spider web than a straight line.&nbsp;Any one specific website or platform could go down without warning (remember the Facebook shutdown of 2021?!), or they might change their algorithms (yes, we’re looking at you Instagram) in a way that prevents you from getting the traction you’re used to or rely on for income. It’s time to stop betting it all on social media and focus on POP marketing, instead.&nbsp;Don’t just use paid ads. Look at adding organic promotion into the mix, as well. Generate word-of-mouth buzz with the right people, collaborate with others, and start building those partnerships. There are so many ways to get your business in front of customers that don’t involve a spreadsheet, so why settle on just one?

We believe it’s good to reintroduce yourself regularly, and often – especially when you’ve grown or evolved since your last introduction. So here we go again: we’re Jacqueline and Minna, nice to meet you!We kicked off the Product Boss podcast back in January of 2018. We all know a lot has changed since last week, let alone in the last four years. The same certainly applies to us as we’ve written a few new chapters in our own stories. So, we’re dedicating this episode to letting you know who we are, now, and what our journey has been as to how we ended up here.We all remember the first day of school; reintroducing yourself can feel weird. But, as you may remember, the more you do it, the easier it becomes! Reintroducing yourself is a great habit to build as it reinforces the story of your brand and product so that everyone knows who you are and what your business is all about.In a world where connections mean everything, don’t forget that offering a deeper understanding of yourself invites the same from others.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

If you’re like us and you’ve lost track of time through the pandemic, now is as good a time as any to reground and reset yourself to have your best year yet. 2021 has been a devastating year in many ways, but in purely business terms, some of you have seen some amazing profits. Either way, it’s time to start thinking about the new year ahead. Human beings need to reset and recalibrate every now and then, so let’s do just that as we step into 2022.&nbsp;Our top advice for 2022 is to level up… level yourself up! Whatever level you’re at, let’s kick things up a notch. It might seem daunting at first, but – trust us – you’ll look back in 2023 wondering why you didn’t take these steps earlier. Everything you do this next year should be with one thought on your mind: How am I going to take my business to the next level?&nbsp;And if that all sounds too lofty or unattainable, let’s focus in on one of the easiest, most tangible things you can actually do to make it a reality: invest. Don’t worry, we’re not asking you to learn about the stock market. We want you to learn how to invest in yourself!Spending your hard-earned profits on things that you seemingly don’t need to keep the business running is a tricky hurdle to get over, but that’s what investing in yourself takes. Think of the long term benefits involved and their ability to multiple your results. And remember, what you don’t invest back into your business becomes profit that you’ll be taxed on.&nbsp;If you’re listening to this, you already understand the value of investing in yourself in terms of time. The next step is simply overcoming the mental hurdle that stops you from spending money on your own development and personal growth. The next step above something like listening to a podcast is enrolling yourself in a course or even more formalized education, then, getting involved with your community or with a mentor, and, finally, joining a Mastermind. We cover all of these steps in further detail in this episode.&nbsp;Only a tiny fraction of people ever follow through on their new year’s resolutions to make real changes in their lives. You owe it to yourself to be one of them. Grow your product business to the next level and be the best product boss you can be. We sincerely hope our podcast and perspectives are helping you get there and continue to do so into the new year and beyond.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

In this episode, we are bringing back Kevlyn Walsh, founder of Festive Gal, who you may remember from episode 155 of our Pivot &amp; Sell series back in May of 2020. We have had the honor of working with Kevlyn, for almost a year now, in our Mastermind program and she is going to share with us where her business is at now (hint: it's multiple six figures!)At the start of her journey, Kevlyn was a school teacher who knew she wanted to leave the the education field when her school went on strike in 2019. Since Festive Gal was making about the equivalent of her teacher's salary, she knew it was time to leave her old life behind to become a full-time entrepreneur. Now, Festive Gal brings in multiple six figures!Kevlyn’s major growth during the pandemic had her worried that her success was a total fluke and that it wouldn't last in 2021.&nbsp; She was able to strategically implement and lean into some new things which has allowed her business to continue growing and scaling to new levels.As a result of these actions, Festive Gal brought in even more sales in 2021 than 2020! hanks to wholesale, Festive Gal is now in 200 stores, and have a permanent showroom space.&nbsp;Early on, Kevlyn realized that she needed to clone herself three times to continue to be able to operate the company at its new levels – so that’s what she did. She hired two more people just like herself to take on the workload. Since then, Festive Gal has expanded to a team of eight!&nbsp;Continuing an established pattern with our guests, she points to participating in Masterminds, specifically The Product Boss Mastermind, &nbsp;with likeminded people as a catalyst that helped her handle each new step of her entrepreneurial journey.&nbsp;Kevlyn's growth and success of Festive Gal over the past couple of years is an excellent example of how surrounding yourself with fellow product based business owners, who are at the same level as you, can make all the difference in your business journey.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Marcel Schwantes is an international speaker, executive coach, and syndicated columnist attracting more than 1.5 million readers per month to his thought leadership pieces. His work has been featured in Inc., Time, Forbes, Business Insider, Fast Company, CNBC, and more global media outlets.He’s also the host of the wildly-popular podcast Love In Action, born out of Marcel’s belief that strong leadership and company culture start with human empowerment. The truth is, “employee engagement” is a really cold way of saying that you need to care for your employees. When you call it what it truly is – love – you start to see how those behaviors translate into good business outcomes.He gives us some incredible advice regarding how to grow and scale a small business without ruining the work culture. Surprise! It always comes back to leadership. When you’re hiring based on a shared set of values, rather than hiring as quickly as possible in order to grow, you see that those values actually scale rather well.We also talk about what sets apart the companies that make Monday-to-Friday drag and those that people love to work for, as well as the six distinct behaviors you can put into place to start seeding a healthy and happy culture.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Happy holidays! We’re excited to be re-airing one of our favorite episodes of the Female Founders series to, once again, highlight the amazing work of Ann Williams of Yearly Co. Hear the amazing story of how she went from making jewelry in her garage to running a successful brick-and-mortar shop – just the kind of inspirational story that’s perfect for this time of year.Ann is someone we’d known for a long time before having her on the podcast. She was famous in our world after starting an amazing business based on a family tradition where her grandfather would gift her grandmother a gold bangle every year that they were married.Eventually it became clear that they needed a reliable place to buy gold bangles. Different jewelers charged different amounts for products of varying quality. Ann decided she would start making these high-quality bangles herself.One thing led to another and soon she was bringing on an intern, and then hiring full-time staff. It can be daunting to put people on your payroll, but Ann says it was something she had to learn to be comfortable with because, ultimately, they were better at some jobs than she was. The right choices are always what’s best for the product, the customers, and the business – even if they’re hard to make at first.Her experience has pushed her away from diversifying, as she instead prioritizes the improvement of their current products and serving the niche they now dominate. As Ann says, she learned to “grow forward, not in 10 directions.” Serving loyal customers is always the right choice as opposed to pushing to an expanded audience that may bring with it a diluted interest in your project.&nbsp;Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

So, you’ve started your business and things are going well. What are the income milestones you should look out for, now? And how can you leverage your success into further growth? In this follow-up to episode #298, “Stages of a Product Business on the Way to $100k,” we tell you exactly how.What about salary – when should you expect that to kick in? Have you considered how things like scaling and delegation might evolve on your journey? There are distinct stages in the lifespan of any business and it’s super helpful to know what they are. For example, once you hit the million-dollar stage, you can’t be expected to do it all anymore. And, once you enter the acceleration stage, you shouldn’t be deciding everything yourself any more, either.This is about stepping into your strengths so that your business can become the best version of itself that it can be. It might seem unimaginable right now, but the goal is to find other people you can rely on so that your business can function without you. This is your path to a million dollar product-based business and beyond.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

With the holiday season in full swing, we thought we'd explore the one big thing that all successful people seem to do: consciously choose who they surround themselves with.You probably hear this advice a lot, but what does it actually mean?&nbsp;This goes for almost anything in life, but if you have a goal, it helps to be surrounded by people who share it with you. Think about how much help it can be to surround yourself with fellow moms when you first have a kid, or how many people find success losing weight after joining a diet group.&nbsp;The same principles apply to business!Spending your time with people at the level you want to achieve has so many benefits. They understand your problems in a way that other people who haven’t been where you are, don’t. Consciously or not, they’ll show you the path to where you want to be if you’re looking in the right places and asking the right questions.If that sounds too simple on paper and you’re wondering how on Earth you can actually go about making it a reality, that’s where Masterminds come in. They’re a place full of like-minded individuals looking to grow together through connecting with one another and contributing to the group’s common betterment. Find the people you thrive best with, and make your goals a reality, too.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Today, we highlight the amazing work of Masterminder, Ashley Viola, who founded Meridian in 2016 and has since grown it into an amazing, highly sought-after producer and purveyor of beautiful, handmade home decor pieces.Ashley started her career working with the world famous Muppets. Specifically, she was a producer and director on Sesame Street, tasked with finding ways to produce content and grow the brand on new and emerging platforms. That’s arguably the start of her entrepreneurial journey, as she had to go out and discover new possibilities and turn them into reality before anyone else had laid a path yet.The skills she developed on Sesame Street transferred right over into launching and running a product line – especially one like Meridian which is sold direct to consumer, and without a reliance on paid ads.Ashley talks about how she believes the pandemic contributed to the rapid growth she's seen over the last couple of years - her business was fortunate enough to remain operational as the rest of the world closed down and, with everyone stuck indoors, people started making an effort to decorate their homes as nicely as possible.&nbsp;We also get into the deeper introspective side of business building. What is your identity? Are you a business, just a shop, or a full-blown brand? In Ashley’s case, it seems pretty clear that she’s now operating as the latter! Then we explore what the future holds for Meridian and how Ashley is continuing to turn her plans into reality.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Happy Thanksgiving! We recently became investors (for the first time!) after being invited to become part of Lite Pink, a new beverage line run by women, for women. The journey has been way more complicated than we ever imagined, so we wanted to share our story so that you can learn a little bit about what to expect when you invest, and why you should do it!&nbsp;Investing is one of those topics that’s often not discussed out in the open – and that’s especially true when it comes to women. There’s no reason for that. It’s just going to take a little bit of a push to change things. Now that we’ve seen how beneficial investing can be, we want to kick the door down and hold it open for the next woman to come through.Lite Pink is something special. It’s a completely female-run business, and more than that, it’s completely female-funded, too. We’ve found it amazing to be a part of something so impactful. We’ve now joined a club made up of other female investors, and our investor calls give us amazing access to work alongside these other entrepreneurs and learn from them in a way we never would have been able to before. Remember: collaboration over competition!&nbsp;As two first-generation Americans, how could we ever imagine having a literal seat at the table – or, in this case, tables full of 40+ powerful females. And all of them were investing too. It’s a level we never knew we could actually reach.This is a more candid conversation, as we share a personal mix of humble pride, tears and laughter. We’re learning so much through this experience and we want to share it with you. We hope to inspire you to start having the rare conversation about women and wealth. Lite Pink has a similar mission to us: to connect women around the world. We're so excited for you to listen!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

In our Bosses &amp; Breakfast live show, we discussed the ways that businesses, big and small, are already starting to market for the holiday season, what you can learn from them, and what you should be doing, yourself. It went down so well that we wanted to bring you a snippet from the show and encourage you to go and watch the full thing!Christmas is here! It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but all of the big stores have already switched over their branding for the holidays. They’ve done the hard work and laid the groundwork, so now it’s time to follow their leads! The Shop 1 in 5 business directory has been festively transformed, too.It can seem early to be thinking about it, but it’s so important to set the mood, and get customers ready for when they decide that they want to do their holiday shopping, whether it’s right now or Christmas Eve.&nbsp;The aim should be to create an experience for consumers that turns shopping into more than a chore that needs to be completed. Turning your store – online or otherwise – into an activity or something fun makes it all the easier to gently nudge shoppers toward seeing the potential of your products as gifts. Connect the dots for them, and they’ll thank you for doing them a favor!&nbsp;This clip left us feeling inspired and motivated to tackle the rest of the week, and we hope it does the same for you.

Our friend and colleague, Tracy Matthews has written her very first book! She’s the custom jewelry designer behind the Thrive by Design podcast and Flourish &amp; Thrive Academy, where she mentors product makers and designers to help them multiply their businesses. And, now, she’s sharing even more of that wisdom through her book, The Desired Brand Effect: Stand Out in a Saturated Market with a Timeless Jewelry Brand.&nbsp;Tracy has built multiple successful businesses using a methodology she invented to solve problems she was encountering in her own life. That turned into what she teaches now, and our conversation covered everything about it from the importance of creatives and makers in business (and just in general!), to how we should build businesses around our lives instead of forcing our lives to fit around a business.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Anyone who’s run any sort of ads in the last couple of years (or just pays attention to marketing industry news) will know that Facebook recently went through a huge iOS change and ads no longer perform the way they used to. So what other options are there for marketing, either without Facebook or on a budget?Your social media strategy can practically become a form of advertising on its own, not to mention leveraging your own personal network and, of course, taking advantage of the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge.But our favorite alternative to running ads is: collaborating. Collaborations can be paid, but the best ones take the form of a mutual exchange where you and someone else both give each other something and get something back of value in return. Maybe you’re an online-only business who can collaborate with a brick and mortar shop by running a pop-up in their shop for a day. Or maybe you want to team up with another business to run a joint giveaway promotion. The possibilities are endless. Just remember to keep your collaborations with businesses who have a relevant audience to the one you want to reach.&nbsp;Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

The end of the year is a time for reflection and relaxation. For product bosses, though, it's the busiest time of the year. We go, and go, and go, and go – often for the sake and benefit of others, our business, our customers, and our futures. But, what about right now? We can’t forget to take account of the good work being done and consistently reward ourselves for putting forth the effort to make it all happen.In this episode, we talk about the best ways to reward yourself and when, and share some examples of ways we’ve done so in the past to help put things in perspective. Hint: Rewarding yourself with a trip to the Galapagos in ten years doesn't cut it! We’re talking small-scale moments of bliss, decisions that hinge on the difference between three shavings of truffle mushroom and five.

How's it going? Chances are there's probably a lot of change happening in your life. This sense of overwhelm and the topic of changes came up in our mastermind and Minna was reminded of a time when her family was going through a trauma/crisis almost five years ago and she was referred to the Kübler-Ross Model. It's a model that was created for dealing with the grief and the process that happens and it's also known as the "change curve". We go over the stages with you in the episode today and how to utilize this process in order to understand your own reactions and emotions during this time of social distancing, a pandemic and a huge change in your life.

We are launching our FREE 5-day Best Seller Secrets Challenge, beginning Monday, March 23rd. Because like we said, this is temporary. Things will get better and you will still have your businesses when this is all over. With people staying home and looking for things to do they will turn to online shopping for necessities and for pleasure. Hands up if you enjoy a little retail therapy. Yupp...so do your customers. So friend, we want you to be prepared. We want you learn the secrets to maximizing your revenue, for now and for the future. Because right now is NOT a time to throw spaghetti at the wall and hope something sticks! Right now is about doing MORE of WHAT'S WORKING! We’re here to teach you how to go deep, not wide, and maximize the opportunities that are already right in front of you. And since we planned this waaaaay before the world's current situation, we are going to move forward with the challenge as planned.

[Special Episode March 13, 2020] Ep. 141: In this unedited special episode, we chat about a big topic: Coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impact on product-based businesses and what we think you should be doing right now during this pandemic. We talk about what we are seeing in our own product entrepreneur communities and how to approach these unprecedented times and&nbsp;what we are doing as fellow small business owners in response and preparation for COVID-19.Center for Disease Control and Prevention: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)Ok....we know...you have received SO...MANY...MESSAGES...about Covid-19 (Coronavirus) in the last 24-hrs. And yes here is another one...but this one is different.We have been trying to figure out how to be helpful to our community and listeners over the past ten days. In fact, we recorded a full podcast last Tuesday on how to prep for the Coronavirus...and then decided against airing it because we were concerned we would create unfounded concern. Cut to ten days later and the world has changed.In the last two days we have had five+ hours of coaching sessions with our students and masterminders and the same question arose..."What do I do about my business during this pandemic?"Great Question!Here is our answer...DON'T STOP WORKING ON YOUR BUSINESS!!!Even if you start to feel that urge to pull back or spin out we want to remind you that this too will pass.This is temporary. We will get through it...together.This is the best time to work on your business!All of those things you have been putting off like updating your website, scheduling consistent emails, writing blog posts, assessing your pricing, or counting your inventory.... NOW IS THE TIME.You may also want to lean into education..get savvy about really using Instagram as a tool, learn how to take better pictures, read a business book, or learn how to get onto other platforms....NOW IS THE TIME.You may even get creative...remember you can pivot much quicker than the "big guys". How can you make your product relevant for this current situation? Can you lean into your Best Sellers?....NOW IS THE TIME.Here are some ideas...Sell kids toys: Send an email about your toys and how to use them to keep kids busy while schools are closed.Sell candles: Send an email about how to relieve stress or make home more comfortable during times like these with your specialty scents.Remember you can create relevant and helpful content via email, create blogs, Pinterest Posts, Instagram, share it everywhere.We are by no means trying to be insensitive to the current situation...Jacqueline lives just outside NYC and her husband, a Broadway actor, is out of work for the next 4 weeks due to theaters being closed. $h!t is getting real.....But our job for you...our community..is to help guide you during times like these.

Episode 100: Have you heard of The Four Burners Theory. It says that there's four areas of in everyone's life: family, friends, work, health, known as the four burners.
