  • 718. Fix What’s Not Working: The Truth About Your Physical Product Sales
    Aug 28 2025

    Welcome back Product Bosses! Do you ever feel like the only way to grow your business is to post more, get featured, or go viral? You’re not alone. So many of us have been led to believe that more visibility is the magic key to sales success. But here’s the truth—more eyeballs on your brand won’t fix a leaky sales engine.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through the core principle we teach inside the Sales Accelerator: before you scale, you need to audit. I share what happens when students like mine land massive visibility—like going viral, appearing on Shark Tank, or being featured by a celebrity —and what actually makes those moments convert into revenue. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about traffic. It's about having the right systems in place to convert that traffic into consistent, profitable sales.

    So if you’ve ever launched a product, run a promo, or had a viral moment and thought, “Why didn’t this convert like I expected?”—this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through our three-part sales engine check: Attract, Convert, Multiply. You’ll discover how to plug your sales leaks, sell more with what you’ve already got, and finally build a business that’s ready to scale. Plus, I’ve got a free checklist to help you fix it fast—grab it in the show notes!

    Resources:

  • 717. From Burnout to Breakthrough: What Happens When You Let Go of a Business | Coaching Session
    Aug 21 2025

    Welcome back Product Bosses! Have you ever gotten to a place where your business just doesn’t feel aligned anymore? In today’s heartfelt coaching session, I sit down with Alyse Steiner, the founder of TOSI Nursing Covers, who’s at a crossroads: should she sell her business or shut it down completely? What started as a passionate product born from her experience as a new mom has turned into something she’s now outgrowing—and Alyse is looking for a graceful way to move on.

    We dig into what it really means to exit your business—whether it’s through selling your inventory, handing over the reins to a new owner, or simply closing the chapter with intention. I share insights from my own journey of closing and selling businesses and how to look at your business as an asset, not a failure. We also brainstorm strategies for finding a buyer and packaging up the business to sell it as a “business-in-a-box.”

    If you’re feeling disconnected from your current business or are dreaming about what’s next, this episode is a must-listen. Learn how to let go with clarity and confidence—and maybe even use this moment as fuel for your next big idea.

    Aug 14 2025

    Welcome back Product Bosses! Today I’m coaching Sandra Nakashima, a talented chocolatier who’s re-entering the business world after years away. She loves her work but doesn’t want to be tied to long hours, a big team, or endless hustle. Her dream? A beautiful, profitable business that allows her to live fully—without sacrificing her time or energy.

    In this session, we dig into the heart of her business model, deciding between growing her chocolate-making classes or her packaged chocolate sales, and uncovering why focusing on one first can make all the difference. You’ll hear how to increase your average order value, simplify your offers, and lean into what’s already working so your business works for you—not the other way around.

    If you’ve ever thought, “I love my business, but I don’t want it to take over my life,” this conversation will feel like a deep breath and a clear plan forward. Tune in to learn how to make more while doing less, and build a business that supports the life you want to live.

  • 715. What’s Really Holding Your Product Business Back (Hint: It’s Not Strategy) | Coaching Session
    Aug 7 2025

    Welcome back Product Bosses! This week, I’m coaching Hannah Kirby, the founder of Stable-ish—a brand that’s reimagining how we talk about and accessorize mental health. After her heart-shaped pill case took off on Etsy, Hannah found herself with a loyal audience, a strong brand, and real traction. But despite that success, she’s stuck. Not because of strategy, but because of mindset. And if you’ve ever felt that invisible resistance too—like you’re not sure you’re allowed to go after the life you want—then Hannah’s story is going to hit home.

    In this episode, we go beyond tactics and dive into what’s really holding Hannah back: the fear of not being worthy enough to do this work, and the legacy beliefs that tell her she should play it safe. Together, we explore how to rewrite those inner narratives so she can confidently step into the business owner she already is.

    You don’t want to miss this one. It’s a powerful reminder that the business you’re building isn’t just about products—it’s about your personal growth, your legacy, and the belief that you’re allowed to want more. Tune in to get re-inspired and start shifting your own mindset today.

  • 714. You Don’t Need an Audience to Build a Million-Dollar Product Business
    Aug 4 2025

    Welcome back, Product Bosses! I know so many of you are out there asking yourselves, “How can I grow this business if I don’t have a big following?” Trust me, I hear this all the time—and I’m here to tell you that you do not need a huge audience to build a successful product-based business. In this re-air of one of our most-loved episodes, I share the story of how I launched my brand, Cuffs Couture, with no social media and no email list—and still turned it into a six-figure success.

    What changed everything for me? Learning to get in front of other people’s audiences. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how you can do the same—whether that’s selling on Amazon, at in-person markets, or to wholesale accounts. These are all visibility channels that already come with built-in customers ready to buy. I also talk about why relying on “free” social media isn’t always the smartest path, and how to create a strategy that doesn’t rely on going viral.

    So if you’ve been feeling stuck or discouraged about your follower count, this one’s for you. You can still build a thriving business—and I’ll show you how to start exactly where you are.

    Note: In this re-aired episode there is mention of one of our programs called Multi-$tream Machine (MSM). Since the original airing of this episode, this program has been updated to be called The Sales Accelerator.

  • 713. Ask Jacq: How to Turn Market Shoppers Into Repeat Online Buyers | Q&A
    Jul 31 2025

    Hey there, Product Bosses! In this episode of the Ask Jacq Series, I’m answering a hot question from one of my students who absolutely dominates at her local farmer’s markets—making $3,000 in just four hours—but can’t get those happy shoppers to buy online. Sound familiar? Whether it’s due to product challenges (like meltable body butters in summer heat) or a website that’s just not converting, we dig into what’s really going on and what you can do to shift from one-time market sales to recurring online revenue.

    We talk through how to nurture those leads, and why your website needs to pass the “grandma test” in order to convert. From simplifying customer expectations to improving messaging clarity, this episode is packed with ideas to help you bridge the gap between in-person connection and online convenience.

    If you’re a product-based business owner who sells at markets, pop-ups, or in-person events and you want to grow your online store, tune in now. I’ll show you how to meet your customers where they are—and guide them right into your virtual checkout.
