eCommerce Scale Collective with Jodie Minto

When starting your own business, you have to do everything. You are the customer service team, the marketing department, the product development team, and the leadership team. 

You are the Chief Everything Officer—or the business gopher. If it’s got to be done, it’s you doing it.  

However, as your business starts to grow, you will find that you just can’t operate at that level anymore, and you will increasingly start to ‘drop the ball’, feel resentful toward your business, and toe the line with burnout.  

If you feel like one more task or responsibility might make you implode, today’s episode is for you.

Stepping into a leadership position in your business, though, takes new skills.  Skills that can feel super uncomfortable, like managing people, increasing your monthly expenses, handing over control… 

If you and your business are ready to step up and start playing bigger, then today’s episode is for you. Today, I will show you how you can start stepping into the CEO role of your business and stop doing absolutely everything. 

If you are ready to fully step into the CEO role of your business now that sales have grown and would like support in doing so with me in your corner, I’m excited to let you know that applications for my mastermind are now open.

On today's episode of Online Store Success, I chat with Louise Carter, the owner of Baby Luno, who shares her incredible journey of building a multi-six-figure business with a single hero product.

Louise began by reselling other brands’ baby products but found her true success by developing her own Nordic Foot Muff Pram Liners. Inspired by her Swedish background and driven by her own experiences as a mum, Louise created a uniquely designed foot muff suited to Australian climates.

Louise credits her success to a combination of her background in online marketing and the support she received from my eCommerce Academy (thank you, Louise!).

Her favourite part of running her business is developing new designs and seeing her products out in the wild. Louise advises aspiring entrepreneurs to keep innovating and leveraging online marketing strategies.

Today on Online Store Success, I'm interviewing the beautiful Danielle Millar from The Glow Know.

Danielle's business model is not one I encounter very often. It is a clever hybrid of a direct-selling business and her own brand, incorporating online and face-to-face events and services.  

In Danielle's words, "Most people don’t really know much about the direct selling/MLM industry. This kind of conversation usually gets brushed off by comments like ‘that doesn’t really work’, or ‘so and so tried that and got nowhere’." and today we unpack how Danielle has carved out a successful business for herself in a difficult and controversial industry. 

Tune in to listen to Danielle's story. 

About Danielle:

Danielle has influenced thousands of women and turned over/generated millions of dollars through her Nutrimetics business, which she started nearly 15 years ago with almost $0 outlay. Central Coast Mum of 2 not online runs a successful nutrimetics business here in Australia, she does most of it online, using free organic strategies and now teaches others women to do the same.

Today, I'm hitting you with a really tough question. 

Is it possible you are focusing on the wrong thing in your business right now? And when I say the wrong thing, maybe you don't even realize it's the wrong thing. Maybe you have gone all in on this one particular area, and you're spending all of your time and efforts there, but it's not the thing that actually brings in the sales in your business. 

In today's episode I'm going to share with you some of those things that are nice to have but don't necessarily result in sales. And after all, as an online store owner, it's all about sales.

Stick with me as I unpack this some more and figure out whether or not you are perhaps focusing on the wrong things in your business right now.
