Welcome back to another episode, product bosses! Today I’m tackling a topic that might ruffle some feathers, but is absolutely going to be a game-changer in your product-based business. If you feel like you’re being pulled in a million directions, but nothing is actually moving forward with all of the effort you’re putting in, know that I have been there and that this episode is for you.
In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest obstacles holding you back from getting the results you’re actually looking for, which is the “hustle mentality.” That’s right because the truth is, hustling alone is not a strategy, in fact, it’s a recipe for burnout and for hitting a wall. So if you’re stuck in hustling mode, know you aren’t alone and it’s not your fault, and also that there is a way out!
Tune in as I share with you more about the “hustle mentality” and the three key secrets you need to know to be able to make the shift from hustle to flow so that you can work smarter not harder. Plus I share more info about how The Product Boss Academy, my new membership, can help guide you through this exact transformation from hustle to flow!

Welcome back, product bosses! We have another unique coaching session with Sandra, the founder of Cattitude Crafts, who makes and sells beautiful handmade faux floral decor and centerpieces out of silk. If you're just starting your business or you’ve been in business for years, but your products aren’t making the sales you want to, then this episode is for you!
Sandra is feeling a lot of overwhelm in her business, and while she’s been in business for 3 years, she’s still not where she wants to be. Sandra believes a tailored marketing plan is the solution to her problem, but there might actually be something else holding her back.
Together, we discuss overcoming imposter syndrome and overwhelm to still be productive, why you need to become known for something and what role your “why” plays, and how to make small, but quick marketing pivots to make the most of this holiday season!

Welcome back product bosses! Today I’m sharing a hard truth which is, focusing only on selling is one of the biggest mistakes you can make in your product-based business. If you’re someone who has really been struggling to make any sales, you’ve seen a decline in your sales, your sales aren’t where you want them to be or really you’re anywhere in between, this episode is for you!
In this episode, I’m sharing the number one thing I have learned and seen from deep diving into and coaching so many product-based businesses this year because what I’ve realized is that things are changing in the product industry. It’s no longer just about getting more eyes and onto more platforms anymore, but rather it’s really about building a business that can support all of this and that you can sell your products from.
So tune in as I share with you what you really need to have in place before you can have a sellable product and a sustainable product business because it’s probably not what you think!

Welcome back, product bosses! Today, I am so excited to share a live recording I did at Inbound this year with Claire Coder, the founder of Aunt Flow—a company dedicated to making period products accessible in public spaces and creating a supportive community around normalizing menstruation. Claire’s journey is so inspiring as she started her company out of a three-bedroom apartment in Ohio and her feminine hygiene dispensers are now present in over 60,000 bathrooms worldwide.
In this episode, we dive into Claire’s motivations and her unique path to entrepreneurship. At 18, she founded Aunt Flow by purchasing bulk period products and selling them directly to local businesses. Claire shares key insights on validating business ideas and developing pricing strategies, and emphasizes the importance of community and mentorship in growing a small business.
Claire also shares how she overcame challenges in raising capital (pitching to 86 firms before securing funding!), practical advice on taking a hands-on approach with your products, and the significance of persistence when it comes to owning a product-based business.
Tune in to learn more about Claire’s success and for actionable takeaways that you can apply to your own product-based business!
