September 05, 2024I Quit Business Coaching- Major Life Changes, Why & What's Next For Me
Welcome back to episode 258 of the Ecommerce Society Podcast! After a little break (which feels so odd for me), I’m sharing some big life updates that have been in the works. For over four years, I’ve been pouring everything into my business, and now I’m stepping away from some things to explore new passions. Tune in to hear why I’m closing some chapters—like my coaching programs and membership—and diving headfirst into exciting new ventures, like my product business and, yes, a 9-to-5!
I get into how burnout post-book launch in 2023 set me on this path and how starting my dog poop bag business made me realize I’m ready for a fresh adventure. I also reflect on why it’s important to embrace change, the value of businesses as stepping stones, and what’s next for me.
In this episode, I share:
Why I’m stepping away from coaching and memberships.
The burnout that hit after launching my book, Customer Obsession.
Starting a 9-to-5 and how it’s giving me new energy.
The fun and excitement of working on my new product-based business.
My thoughts on pivoting and how businesses are stepping stones for your next adventure.
A possible future direction for the podcast and how I want to feature more brand case studies.
Episode Highlights:
(00:01) Catching up after my break and why I’m stepping back.
(02:21) Why I decided to close my coaching programs and memberships.
(04:39) Burnout post-book launch and how it shaped my decision.
(06:53) Starting the dog poop bag business and rediscovering my passion.
(09:19) Where the podcast might be headed next: more brand case studies, fewer business tips.
(11:39) Why I’ve paused the Just Add Hot Sauce newsletter (for now!).
(14:04) My thoughts on balancing a 9-to-5 with running a side business.
(16:27) Reflecting on the past few years and how each step has led to new opportunities.
Listener Shout-Out: Thank you to everyone who’s been with me over the years, from listening to the podcast, to joining my programs, and reading Customer Obsession. You’ve been part of this journey, and I’m so grateful for your support!
