It's been a crazy year! I'm reflecting on things I want to do more of in 2025 and the stuff I want to leave behind. Hopefully it inspires you as well!

​I got married this weekend... concluding 10 months of planning into one 7 hour event at our home in Guilford Connecticut.

It's no secret that wedding planning is s huge to-do, though it's a lot like any event I suppose... just with a whole bunch of specific cultural and societal rituals baked in.

Sitting on the porch this morning, I realized that I was not rushed. Such an odd sensation to feel since the legal and logistical details of getting married at this stage in life and business, coupled with hosting the event at home (including the before and after parties), meant that Ac and I have been grinding hard for the majority of 2024.

I posted photos and videos out on social - you can see the dress, the venue, the cake, all the things...

But here and now... today I want to talk about some of the less obvious lessons I've picked up along the way.

I've had an estimated 100 meaningful conversations with business owners in the last month.

The majority of these are my private clients, but I took trips to Providence and New York in September, and spent time with folks from other circles as well.

I never ceased to be amazed by how much we think we're unique in our circumstances, when it's clear there are so many common patterns and headaches among us.

Between ages, markets, niches, cities -- I can say this with reasonable certainty -- whatever you're facing, there are thousands of other people in your exact same shoes.

So what were the patterns I picked up on? That's what I want to share with you today.

Hey there! In this episode, I’m tackling a big topic that’s been popping up in my Voxer chats with tons of different business owners. As we wrap up August, it’s clear that this year has been a tough one financially for many. With the economy shifting and a typical summer slowdown, it’s no wonder things feel a bit unsettling right now.

I’m noticing two major patterns:

Pattern #1: Some folks are using the same old strategies—emails, launches, and so on—but their results are falling short.

Pattern #2: Meanwhile, others are having their best launches ever, even as they see others struggling.

I don’t have all the answers yet, but in this episode, I dive into why your launches might not be hitting the mark and why that doesn’t mean all is lost. I’ll share why it's super important not to get stuck in a doom loop and how staying creative and gritty can help you turn things around.

It's been SO busy over at Funnel Gorgeous because we're building a new funnel (launching this week) and then turning it over as a template to our upcoming Launch Gorgeous student cohort. I go behind the scenes to explain what's happening, and how it's come together in just two weeks.

It's been a whirlwind!

July is the sloggiest month in business. And every year, despite knowing this fact, I start to panic. Things are slow. People are quiet. There isn't a lot of action.

I feel tired and unmotivated. I'm not sure what my revenue is going to be this month. Why can't I get anything done even though the kids are at camp?

Every single year, it is the same. But here is an important lesson I learned!

This is such a great combination of inspiration and tactics. I interviewed my longtime client Julia Taylor about her CRAZY last few months in her business GeekPack.

Some highlights you don't want to miss....

• How she got nearly $500,000 in FREE money for her business

• Her journey to a prestigious award in China and the opportunities it unlocked

• The transformation from not wanting to even show her face in business to multi-seven figures in income & thousands impacted

• The most important advice she can offer about being ready for when your moment of opportunity comes

Julia has been in Digital Insiders working with me from the very beginning, and it's been absolutely amazing watching her go from a tiny brand to a world recognized one! This is an inspiring episode whether you're at the beginning of your journey, or years in.

Offer design is both an art and a science. When you try to read the crystal ball of buyer psychology, us marketers tend to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. Today, I want to help you think more strategically about bonuses.

​There are 12 types of bonuses (loosely) divided into four categories. The best offers are the ones that make logical sense and tell a story.

The week after a mastermind is always a bit crazy, but I wanted to drop in this Monday morning and give you some behind the scenes of what went on this week.

In this episode I explain what a mastermind is, some of the getting to know you activities we did, what I presented on, and a unique opportunity for you to experience DI live in person this summer.

Give it a listen and then hit me up at [email protected] or on IG @juliecchenell.

Have a great week!
