What if I told you that your business could disappear overnight, just because of an algorithm change or a platform shutdown? It’s a scary thought, but for too many online sellers, it’s a real risk. In this episode, we’re talking about why relying solely on social media or third-party platforms is like building your business on rented land - and how you can take back control by making your website the heart of your brand!

I’m breaking down why your website isn’t just a “nice-to-have” but an essential tool for long-term success. We’ll talk about how to use it to grow your audience, nurture leads, and create a sales system that you own. Plus, I’ll share some simple but powerful tweaks that can turn your website into a revenue-generating machine, without requiring hours of extra work.

If you’ve ever felt stuck playing by someone else’s rules in your business, this episode is for you. By the end, you’ll walk away with an action plan to stop relying on rented land and start building a business that’s truly yours. Ready to take back control in your business?
