Here’s what we know right now: Launches are inconsistent; Evergreen has lost so much steam that it’s mostly just (at best) a lead generation engine at this point; .. And, that the answer isn’t to keep doing the same old. In this podcast episode, I break down the sales system I recommend right now, and why.

In other words, they aren't generating the volume of leads required to sell. As I've already covered, this isn't getting easier in the current environment – it's getting harder. The problem is two-fold – the leads are harder to get, and once you have them it's harder to sell to them. Most founders try to solve the problem in one of two ways: Chase more leads: Makes sense on the surface of it, right? If you don't have enough leads, you should look for ways to get more. And so, they do. They st...

In the last episode we unpacked why chasing scale past the tipping point often makes everything harder. The fix? Clarity on your endgame, and a focus on the smallest, simplest and lightest model for achieving it. Of course, you’re welcome to clarify your own endgame. But to make things easy, I’m simply going to share a beautiful and realistic sweet spot endgame that represents a damn good life for most online experts.

In today's episode, I am sharing what has shifted, why and why I think it's an incredible opportunity for women who desire a simple, lean lifestyle business...

To stand out and sell — always, but especially in 2025 — you’ve gotta niche. Happily (especially if you are a personal brand), that DOESN’T mean putting your sweet little multi-passionate self into a box for twenty years and throwing away the key. But it DOES mean that you should create individual PROJECTS under your personal brand (I talk about that more in part one of this series here) and niche them sufficiently so as to cut through. How? Choose a market that has in-built demand, and then ...

This one is aimed squarely at you, my little ‘personal brand-based’ founder darlings — in other words, the current and aspiring content creators, consultants, coaches, freelancers, creatives and knowledge-based founders of the Internet.

In this episode, I will show you how to map out an offer suite with one flagship offer as the crown jewel. You'll discover why small (and might is best) and the ONLY three offers you need to hit a million dollars (plus, how to structure to reach your time and money goals.

In this week's podcast, we'll be revisiting through our Podcast Best Of series on how we make, manage and grow money in order to make work optional. Active income is never passive. Work is work. But the income from your work can be funneled into assets that CAN be passive – and that, ultimately, is the game. These days, I am passionate about sharing that message with others. Even moreso in this online business world, where we have the capacity to build high profit margin businesse...

Let's talk about finding alignment and balance in new motherhood, especially when your traditional business model and success no longer serves the life you want to create. In this podcast episode, I share my experience with running a business and raising 2 young kids, finding myself again and building a business that truly lights me up. This is an interview that first aired on Rachelle Saevils 'Behind the Fold' podcast, where she shares interviews breaking down the real and raw BTS of motherh...

Ahhhh, attention (aka traffic, aka your ‘top of funnel’ in marketing speak). The darling of the Internet! Understandably so, it’s the tip of the proverbial Internet iceberg and the ONLY thing that’s visible when we’re scrolling online. And for that reason, we’re obsessed with it and start to think that the ultimate success of our online businesses lives and dies by it. And whilst it’s true that it matters, it’s just one piece of the marketing funnel pie. In this series, we’v...

Recently, Google embarked on a mission to answer one question: ‘How do consumers decide what they want to buy and who they want to buy it from?’ The answer was.. squiggly, the say the least. To stand out and sell in 2025, you’re not just ‘one funnel away’ anymore. Instead, it’s essential to build an ecosystem of touchpoints to satisfy the savvy, skeptical buyers that you’re the real deal. The 'middle of funnel' is more important (and squiggly) than ever, and to stand out and...
