When was the last time you really dug into your profit and loss statement?

I've been having A LOT of conversations about finance lately and it's got me worried about your profitability.

Passive income is the holy grail of online business... but is any income TRULY passive?

Sort of. Put the work in upfront and passive income can follow. Of course, as a product-based business, you still need to fulfill the orders, but it would be cool to have that revenue rolling in without much marketing, wouldn't it?

Today's guest is Monica Little and she's teaching us exactly how we can make that happen.

Have you ever thought about selling your eCommerce business? While many entrepreneurs create businesses with the intention of selling them in the end, most small business entrepreneurs think they'll run their businesses until they're ready to retire. But even then, what are your next steps? Do you just shut the whole thing down and say goodbye to your customers?

What if instead, you could sell your business to someone else and get a nice chunk of change in return?

While selling your business is likely easier than you think and can be done sooner than you think, there are some key things you'll need to have in place before you can fetch top dollar.

Since I'm not an expert in exiting business, I brought in Christine McDannell of the Magnolia firm to school us on what we need to know to set our businesses up for sale.

It’s hard to avoid shiny object syndrome… especially in the online space.

With so many different strategies, social platforms, educators, and other businesses that are doing “cool” things… it’s easy to get off-track… But 99% of the time, it’s FOCUS that will actually drive you forward.

What focus means for one business is different than for another. And there are actually 2 different ways focus, or the lack thereof can manifest in your business.

Today we’re going to break it down so you can start identifying where you might veering off and how to get back on track.

Not every strategy, method, or "best practice" is right for your business and I see a lot of entrepreneurs who get caught up working on the wrong things... 

Maybe they heard someone talk about something and they got FOMO, or maybe someone gave them advice that didn't actually make sense for their business, their goals, or their immediate needs. 

I'm all for focusing on the big picture, future-proofing yourself as much as possible, and making decisions from a place of who you want to be.

But sometimes you just need to focus on the thing that's going to support you at the moment. 

I know it can be hard to tell the difference, so today I'm diving into a few examples to help you figure out when you should ignore conventional wisdom and when you shouldn't.
