The Product Boss with Jacqueline Snyder

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 exciting coaching session with Beth, the founder of Tiny Spicy Kitchen, who creates allergy-friendly food mixes for health-conscious home cooks. If you’re a product-based business, especially a food business, and you feel like a hot mess or like you’re struggling to know where to focus to grow and make more sales, then this episode is for you!

Right now, Beth is seeing her products sell well in-person, but isn’t really seeing any online sales and with her full time job of being a teacher, in August, she had to start cutting back on the number of markets she attended. Now Beth really wants to make her business work, but she’s feeling like a bit of a hot mess and like she isn’t sure where to focus to grow and continue making sales. 

Together, we dive into refining her brand positioning, defining her target audience, connecting with the right audience to build loyalty, and ways she can make the most of the holiday season by leaning into what’s already working for her so she can hit her sales goal.

Tune in as we figure out how to turn Beth’s feelings of “hot mess” into actionable steps she can take to reach the goals she has set for herself and learn how you can apply this method to your product business as well!

I dig deeper into each roadblock and the importance of it, along with ways you can overcome them in your product-based business.

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!

Tune in as we figure out the “why” behind Sandra’s products and business so she can start making more sales and learn how you can apply this to your business as well, because if you’re missing your “why” then you won’t ever be able to grow your product business!

If you're still working a 9-5 but wanting to grow your product-based business “side hustle,” then this episode is for you!

Together, we dive deep into creating offers and how to increase average order value so that you can make more money with each purchase, how niching down can lead to your most simple path forward, and the importance of good time management skills and setting goals for yourself!

Tune in as we figure out how Julie can make the most of her limited time to grow her product biz side hustle, while still working her full time job, and how you can do the same in your business, whether you’re a full time or side hustle product boss.

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!
