The Product Biz Podcast by Monica Little Coaching

A lot of struggling small business owners make the mistake of thinking that coming out with new products will increase their sales.

They get in a cycle where they come out with a new product every week or every month. They buy new raw materials, experiment, take photos, edit photos, post on their website, post on social media....

Some sales come through when they announce their new product, but after the hype dies down they jump right into creating the NEXT new product because it's the only way they know how to make money. Does that sound like you?

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL​ LEARN:

• Why going all in with your BEST SELLERS is the best plan of action for your business
• How having LESS products equals MORE money
• How to connect with your target audience to increase your H*LL YES sales, instead of trying to be everything to everyone

When you finish listening, I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway from today’s episode. Take a screenshot of the episode you're listening to, share it to your Instagram stories and tag me @monicalittlecoaching - or send me a DM!​

Most handmade small business owners make the common mistake of spending most of their time making inventory... they think that creating is the “meat” of their business and that everything else is just busy work.

The truth is, inventory is necessary - we need to have a product to sell and fulfill orders - but it’s not going to grow your business on it’s own… having inventory does not equal sales. Spending all week making inventory does not equal sales.

Creating consistent sales with your business is not a matter of how much time you spend on making inventory… It's a matter of how much time you spend on GROWING and BUILDING your business to GET more sales.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL​ LEARN:

• The 2 types of roles in your business, and the one most people get stuck in
• The role that we ALL need to step into, no matter how big or small, new or established our business is
• The difference between working IN your business vs working ON your business

If reaching success was as simple as working more hours, we would ALL be massively successful and no one would be feeling like they're stuck.... because the answer would be simple - just work more and problems are solved!

But we all know that's not true... The REAL truth is that reaching the next level of your business is not a matter of working more hours…It's a matter of becoming WHO your business needs you to be.

If you aren't reaching new growth with your business… you've just reached the limit of your own SELF at this point in time… and the next level of your business requires the next level of you.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL​ LEARN:

• Why the amount of hours you work or how hard you work does NOT guarantee your success
• How to define WHO your business needs you to be to reach the next level of success in your business
• 3 big changes I made that led to my first 6 figure year with my organic skincare small business

The fear of rejection... the fear of getting a "no"... the fear of thinking our products aren't good enough... these fears can hold us and our small business back.

Can you relate? Maybe you received a no from a store you reached out to, so your hesitant to reach out to more...Maybe you applied for Faire and got waitlisted, so you wonder if your business is good enough for these larger platforms... Or maybe you applied for a market and got rejected, so you wonder what's wrong with your products...

In today's episode we'll be talking about how to OVERCOME the fear of rejection so it doesn't STOP your business from growing.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL​ LEARN:

• How to start looking at rejection as REDIRECTION and what to DO when you get a rejection
• The ONLY thing that matters when you get a rejection
• How I overcame being rejected from the first store I pitched my products... to having my products in over 100 stores across the US and Europe

So many small business owners think that because their products are simple, it means their products aren't good enough.

And if you're like me, then chances are you may have had someone straight up tell you that they could "just make it themselves"... so you shy away from promoting and talking about your products, because you think they are too simple...and deep down you might feel like a fraud selling such a "simple" product.

But this is one biggest fears that small business owners have to overcome. And if you don't realize the VALUE your products bring.. then you'll be stuck in the same spot I was. Scared to talk about your products. Scared to hear people's reaction...and how likely is your business to grow with this mindset?

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL​ LEARN:

• Why we, as makers, have this specific fear of our products being too simple and not good enough BECAUSE we are makers
• The VALUE that YOU actually bring with your products and the problem that YOU solve for your customers (yes, YOU!)
• How you can CONFIDENTLY sell your products, no matter how simple or complex they are

When you finish listening, I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway from today’s episode. Take a screenshot of the episode you're listening to, share it to your Instagram stories and tag me @monicalittlecoaching - or send me a DM!​

Right now, in this moment, you are either fully believing in yourself or fully doubting yourself. There’s no in between. They are opposites - like being asleep or being awake - and you can only be one or the other.

So in this moment, where do you fall? Do you fully believe in yourself and that you can do anything you set your mind to… or do you doubt yourself and feel like you're struggling to reach the goals and dreams that you have with your small business?

The truth is, the more belief in yourself that you bring to your current circumstances, the faster things begin to work out the way you want and the faster you reach your goals... and in Episode 2 of The Product Biz Podcast, I'll be showing you EXACTLY how to do that.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL​ LEARN:

• What's REALLY stopping you from making progress with your small business
• How to build belief in yourself to the point that the mantra "I can do ANYTHING I set my mind to" becomes TRUE for you
• How to start taking simple action today in your personal life AND business life to build proof that anything is possible... so you see the results you've always wanted

The biggest myth we buy into is that the successful small business owners we look up to are fearless and somehow free of all fear, worry and doubt...

Newsflash: they all have the same fears that you do, they just choose not to let fears stop them.

Because it's not a matter of being fearless…. it's a matter of being brave enough to face your fears and let your dreams lead the way, instead of your fears leading the way.

In the very first (!!!!) episode of The Product Biz Podcast, I'm going share with you the top mistake small business owners make when growing their business...

and after this episode you'll have a clear path on how to look out for this mistake, how to handle it, and how to grow from it to differentiate your business from ALL others so you can reach your true potential.
