589. MUST LISTEN If You Feel Alone and Overwhelmed by All the Things You NEED to Do

So one of the greatest lessons for a product boss is learning to let go, outsource, delegate, and ask for help—all the things that feel naturally uncomfortable to us. Do you feel the same way? As we grow as business owners, parents, and individuals, one of the hardest things is asking for help. Another challenge is releasing the expectation that we should and can do everything at once.If you want to grow your business, then you need to outsource some tasks so you can focus on the bigger picture and buy back your time. Many of us use words like balance and juggle, but we feel tired, stressed, and stretched too thin trying to be everything to everyone.You really want to figure out what you want in your life, what aligns best with you, and how you can achieve that, because we're all problem solvers. But it's not about doing it all by ourselves. It’s about finding the help we need. There's never been a time when we, especially as women, could do anything we wanted in our business, generate any revenue we aimed for, and manage full-time jobs, family, caregiving, and everything else on our plates.So how can you outsource, get help, and pay for the things that will move you forward? It’s crucial to release the overwhelming expectations we place on ourselves. Let’s dive into how you can align your priorities and pave your own path to success.Resources:Consistent content is key to getting more people to see and buy your products.

563. TikTok Insider Gives Us the Scoop

Have you thought about selling your products on TikTok? In this episode, we have a TikTok insider walk us through setting up a TikTok Store and using its affiliate program.&nbsp;The first thing you should know about getting a TikTok Store (not to be confused with TikTok Business) is that it can be quick and easy. It usually only takes a day or two for your TikTok store account to be approved and go live. Then you can simply link the Shopify account you already use to sell your products. TikTok will sync with your Shopify inventory on an ongoing basis. You also have the option to manually input your products to your TikTok store natively.Now let’s talk money. TikTok charges 2% plus thirty cents on transactions. The other money item: You can pay independent creators to market your products. There are two ways to do this: Shop Plan and Targeted Plan. In Shop Plan, you upload your product to the TikTok affiliate marketplace and then affiliates (TikTokers who have atleast 5,000 followers) can choose a product to market for you based on a sales-only commission. Targeted Plan is a little more involved– you can evaluate creators’ target audiences, success rate, etc., then choose one based on how well you think they fit your product.If you want to tap into the hot TikTok market, this episode is a can’t miss!Resources:TikTok ShopStruggling to create content for your business?

549. Posting Pressure: Debunking the Myth of Daily Social Media Obligations

We're here today to tackle the pressure and myths surrounding social media posting. We understand that many of you, our listeners and students, have embraced our programs like A Year of Content, which offers a full year's worth of content ideas for posts, promotions, and emails.

541. [MONEY TIPS] Why Am I Not Making Any Sales?

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.

Initially, her coffee shop was thriving in sales but struggled with profitability, limiting her ability to expand and hire more staff.

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.

How do I make that sale?”But as we unraveled her question, we realized it wasn’t just about “How to market it?” The core question, the one that could make or break her business was, “Will my customers actually want to buy it?” It’s a question that resonates with many of us, doesn’t it? We’re all eager to jump into marketing and sales, but it's pivotal to pause and reflect on the product's demand.In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into this. We’re exploring how to gauge if your idea has wings before you pour your heart, soul, and resources into it. We’ll guide you on gathering those crucial data points and insights that will help you decide whether to take that leap. It’s all about ensuring your investment in time and money is well-placed and not jumping blindly onto the marketing bandwagon!Resources:Want a guide to over 308 business tools and resources to help you effectively run your product-based business?

497. Overcoming the Fear: Making Smart Investments in Your Business

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?

494. How to Get Your Products in Front of People

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?

487. "But, I'm A Creative"

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?

475. Summer Marketing Tips That Work

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!

457. Be Brave Enough to Suck at Something New

Are you hesitant to try something new because you're worried about not doing it well? Do you find yourself avoiding new opportunities because you're scared of sucking at them? 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!&nbsp;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 &amp; 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.

444. Why Action Takers Are Money Makers and Lies You're Telling Yourself

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!

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?

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.

438. Burgers, Chicken, and Pancakes

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.

421. #1 Reason Why People Don't Complete Their Purchases During the Holidays

On a customer’s journey, there is a lot of decision making: What to buy, where to get it from, how much are they willing to pay – the decisions are endless! So what happens when a customer has said “yes” to you every stop along the way, but they stop short of hitting that final purchase button and abandon their cart because you’re charging for shipping?The customer experience is full of moments of indecision, and your job as a Product Boss is to remove as many of those moments as you can and create a shopping experience that’s as smooth as possible.

419. Listen for a Quick Cash Injection Idea using IG Stories

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!

393. 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. 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!

390. 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!

388. 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!
