Jane Hamill | Podcast

We start with an embarrassing story. You see, last Friday my company sent out an email with the exact same subject line as the week before. Noooooooooooo!!! And it went out to over 15,000 people.

Heads will roll! Who's gonna get fired? WTF people?

And then, I looked at it another way. Listen to this episode to see how taking Imperfect Action is the key to, well, everything.

Today's guest is my business hero. Dana Jaunzemis runs her business in a completely different way than most people. She makes business choices based on what she wants, on the data and sales she sees, and on simplicity. Learning from Dana has changed my life - for reals.

The first things Dana does when she buys a business is first, set an action goal to double daily orders, then focus only on high margin products, and finally, understand the customer. She is spectacularly focused on these 3 things.

In today's laser coaching call, I'm talking swimwear and resort designer, Danielle from Danalia.

Danielle has sold a lot of units of her product in the past few years. The problem is that her margins are too low to make any real money. She's frustrated because it feels like starting over. Her main questions is:

"I've been selling to a certain type of customer and now I have to raise my prices and find new customers. How do I make the transition?"

In this episodes, we talk about pivoting her entire business and business model, creating content to attract a brand new customer, upgrading her branding, finding the motivation to create again, and building the business she really wants that's also going to make money.

What if you could just make a decision, believe in it, and stick to it? What if you didn't wake up the next day and think, "Is that really a good idea? Maybe I should do THIS instead.

I truly believe that the #1 thing that RUINS a business is when the owner OVERTHINKS. We have great ideas and plans to do stuff about these ideas and then we overthink what we should do and get stuck. We get frozen wondering the next RIGHT thing to do.

And that leads to doing nothing - which get you zero results and no money in the bank. :( And a sad face emoji.

Want to do things differently? This episode will help you make decisions like a #BOSS and stop doubting yourself so you get shizzle DONE. Bam.

"You have a brand-new business, starting today."

Imagine you could look at your current business with complete clarity and re-design it to be:

• streamlined,
• easier to run,
• and with a higher profit margin on very single unit you sell

Would you be psyched? That's exactly what we do in this episode.

Anila Hussain and her sister, Shenila Ali, are the owners of Shennanz - a Swiss, British and Pakistani high-fashion luxury and sustainable fashion business.

In this episode, we don't design an entirely new business, that sounds, well, hard. Instead, we redesign Anila's current business by making simple but profound tweaks to what she's currently doing.

Things like...selling multiple different products and types of collections instead of focusing on the high margin categories.

Things like...being a "10 second style expert" and using content marketing to sell a TON of products.

Today we're talking with Jane from Jane Israel, a lawyer turned clothing designer. Jane's getting ready to launch and wants paying customers from day ONE. Her question is...

"Should I run ads to build an audience NOW, before my product is ready, or will I be wasting my money?

We also discuss coming up with a "formula" to creating content for her target customer, working women.

Do the important people in your life support you in your business?

In this episode, we discuss what to do when people are just not getting it. Maybe they make passive aggressive comments, maybe they give you the blank stare, maybe they openly tell you you're crazy to have your own business!

Let's dive into how to deal with it and NOT let it get to you.
