Hello Product Bosses! We're excited to discuss something that we all have likely asked ourselves at some point, especially during our early business days. It's the question of having a business plan. If you're among those who believe that starting a business is synonymous with having a thorough business plan, we're here to tell you - that's not always the case! Being stuck in the traditional ideas of a business plan can often slow our progress. Our entrepreneurial journey since 2004 has taught us that you don't necessarily need a business plan to succeed. There have been countless instances where we ventured into new territories without a rigid business plan in hand. And guess what? We didn't let the lack of it stop us! So, if you're at the threshold of starting your business or considering developing a business plan after you've launched, know that it's not a must. During this episode, we'll delve into the five things that you genuinely need when you're starting a business or thinking about selling a product to your customers. So, forget about that business plan for a moment and join us as we discuss what truly matters when starting your product business. Resources:Are you ready to transform your business?

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.
