Ep 393393. It is Possible to Enjoy Your Holiday Season and Crush it in Business, Here’s How

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.

Ep 391391. Success Strategies for Going from Side-Hustle to Full-Time Business

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!

Ep 390390. How Highlighting Overlooked Holidays Created a Thriving Business with Sarah Gulfraz of Peacock Supplies

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!

Profit is always an important part of your business. Without it, you may not be running a business at all.

Ep 388388. Making Big Business Shifts & Beating the Odds with Danielle Beauregard of Fusion by Design Collars

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!

Ep 384384. How Lori Harder is Building a Women-First Company in Lite Pink

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!

Ep 383383. Trend Alert: Consumers are Paying for Wellness

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 & 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!

Ep 381381. How You Should Really Be Using Social Media for Your Business

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!

Ep 376376. Growing an Iconic Brand with Jaclyn Johnson of Create & Cultivate

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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & Cultivate, and why she invests in female-founded businesses. For anyone at any stage in their business journey, this conversation is going to help motivate and inspire you to take the next step forward!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Ep 373373. How to Build Your Business Without Feeling Like You’re Drowning

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. Tune in to hear how you can apply the focus and stop list to your business to avoid overwhelm!Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Ep 368368. How to Improve Your Cash Flow

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. 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!

Ep 367367. Learn to Fear Less

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! As you know, we recently went to Costa Rica, and we want to  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. 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?

Ep 365365. Edit to Expand Method with Pamela Pekerman of Hustle Like a Mom

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. 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! 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. [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!

Ep 362362. Sharing Your Story with Kelly Kussman of Cayla Gray

Kelly Kussman is one of our Masterminders and she’s doing amazing, motivating, and inspiring things as the founder of Cayla Gray, creators and sellers of clean, luxury brand fragrances. 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. 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! 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. Kelly also provides us with one final piece of business advice: “failure” is not a bad word! Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Ep 361361. Your Dream Outcome: Where Will You Be 6 Months from Now?

If you’re ready to figure out your dream outcome and how you can get there in six months, then this episode is for you! Let’s get planning!Once you’ve thought about your dream outcome, the next step is to ask yourself, “What is the likelihood that I’ll get to this dream outcome?” and “What am I doing to get myself there?” You can’t just manifest this, you have to put in the work to get there!That’s what this episode is all about, asking yourself these questions, and then putting your plan into motion so that you can reach your dream outcome in six months – or at least put yourself on the right path to reach that goal in whatever time frame you have set for yourself. What if we also told you that you didn’t have to do this alone?

Ep 360360. Front-of-House vs. Back-of-House for Running Your Product Biz

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. 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. 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. 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.
