This year was messy, clarifying, exhausting, and sort of helpful?It's years like this in business, when it may not explode in growth, that show you what actually works and what you are done tolerating.

In this episode, I break down the real business lessons from this year like the wins I didn't expect, the BS I'm leaving behind, and the patterns I saw in clients that hold so many back.

If you run a small business, create digital products, or you've been exhausted by the pressure to show up this year, you'll relate.

It's the simple offers that move revenue when you need it, the boundaries that change everything, and the decisions that make business easier instead of bigger. This is the honest year-in-review because that's how we do it around here.

There are plenty of good and bad digital products. I've seen a lot of mistakes as an instructional designer and these are the most common. If you want to create a product your audience will buy, you need more than excitement. You need structure, support, and to avoid these mistakes!

What you'll hear:

• Why structure matters
• Motivation isn't everything
• Launching isn't your issue
• The right support matters

Your idea might be amazing but that isn't going to get it launched. If you want to build digital products the right way, this is a must listen!

You know what gets really tricky in business? Navigating friendships, support, and expectations. So in this episode, I'm calling BS on the idea that friendship means automatic business backing. Hear me out, support looks different for everyone.

I break down the difference between business support and emotional support plus why business friendships shouldn't be transactional. You'll hear why encouragement is not the same as business support, why likes and comments are helpful but harmful, and how to avoid treating support like a transaction.

If you've ever felt let down by a friend not buying, sharing, or hyping up your work, you need this one. Also take the pressure off your relationships! Let's build business connections that don't depend on emotional IOUs.
