Iāve been reading a lot recently about how big businesses arenāt doing as well as they once were, especially since the pandemic. Is anyone actually surprised? It only takes a little common sense to know that nothing can scale infinitely, and therein lies the slippery slope I see businesses falling down. Look, I want you […]
Listen to the PodcastI like to think of myself as an expert at using Instagram for online business, but do the same rules apply to brick & mortar businesses? Spoiler alert: no. Online efforts lead to online clients and in-person efforts lead to in-person clients. In my opinion, there are better places to spend your energy. But that […]
Listen to the PodcastSEO or social mediaā¦ which should you be focusing on as you build your business? Look, one isnāt ābetterā than the other, but they both serve different functions and will attract different people. They both can help you, but itās better to focus on one before the other. So if youāre trying to decide how […]
Listen to the PodcastBuilding a business online can be overwhelming. Lucky for you, Iāve been teaching people how to do this now for a while. Whatever questions you have, whatever level of help you need, I can help you. This episode is the crash course version, and yāall already know Iāve got options when youāre ready for more. […]
Listen to the PodcastIāve said it a million times before, and Iāll say it a million more times because it bears repeating: if you want to be successful in your business, you have to repeat yourself. Having an online business that actually helps people isnāt about saying a million different things, itās saying one thing a million times. […]
Listen to the PodcastYāall know Iām big on the seasonality of life and leaning in to it whenever we can. As we get in to this second half of August, the seasons are changing, so letās live that change, too. I brought back this episode because Emilie is the person who put the concept of spirality and seasonality […]
Listen to the PodcastAugust is a transitional monthānot fully summer, and not fully fall (or winter and spring for my Southern Hemisphere friends). Thereās still time to lean in to what makes summer fun and restful, but nowās the time to start preparing for those fall launches. Iāve got some soft suggestions for you for this august so […]
Listen to the PodcastWhen itās your job to post your life on the internet, getting trolls is an inevitability. There are people who hide behind anonymous profiles and talk their shit for who knows what reason, and no amount of ādefending your honorā makes them stop. With an election coming upāand especially since we have a black woman […]
Listen to the PodcastIn the greater scheme of online businessādo you know your role? When it comes to enacting change of any sort, it takes all kinds of people, tactics, and techniques, so what it is that youāre bringing to the table? We all have different skill sets, thatās a great thing! What I love doing, you may […]
Listen to the PodcastItās a bit of a tradition now to throw it back to the very first episode of this podcast every 100-episode-milestone because thereās something so cool about hearing just how far I (and this show) have come. Hopefully it proves to you just how much better you can and will get once you just startāespecially […]
Listen to the PodcastIn the 6 years since Iāve started this podcast, Iāve somehow recorded 600 episodes. Iām not sure if you know just how much 600 is, but it is a LOT. To those of you whoāve been here from the beginning, and to those of you who are here now, thank you. None of this would […]
Listen to the PodcastThereās this thing happening all over social media (and especially on Threads) where AI operated accounts are growing like crazy, and comment sections are blowing up with debates on whether or the accounts are actually humans. It all got me thinking about the numbers we see on social media, if theyāre even real, and more […]
