Welcome to another coaching episode! Today, I'm speaking with Mystral, a massage therapist and energy worker out of New York City. Her service-based business is growing well, but an idea for a product-based business naturally spun off from it that she wants to explore. She wants to launch a tea business with as few mistakes as possible. 

First we start with ideation, then making the product, and then moving on to branding. Each step builds up to the next. We start by honing in on what she's actually going to sell, and then go over what it costs to make the product. From there, we take a look at how to price and position her teas to make sure she's selling for not only a profit, but also to the right people.

I applaud Mystral for seeking out support in these early stages of her product-based business to give her the fast-track to success. That’s what the Product Boss is all about: giving you the tools you need to avoid the mistakes most product business owners make!

If you're a product-based business owner, then chances are you're also a creative- meaning you constantly have ALL of these new ideas you're wanting to test and try. As a creative, one of the biggest struggles I see is being able to know where to focus and prioritize to keep the needle moving forward in your business. Sound familiar? That's exactly what I'm helping Rachel of Falcone Farms today so let's dive in.

Rachel is raising two kids, running a farm, already has one product-based business, and is now launching another. We talk through her new goat’s milk soap company, including shifting her ideal client and doing the math on cost, price, and quantity. But we also talk about the big picture in terms of waiting for your experiments to produce results, and how to stay focused.

There are four foundational pieces of product-based businesses that I see people skip over all the time. If you’re struggling to make sales, chances are you’ve skipped one of them. In this episode, I discuss each one and why they are so important to have to grow your business.

They are: Nail your niche, nail your brand, nail your price and offer and nail your marketing across channels. There’s a lot that goes into each one, but don’t worry, I cover it all.

A lot of times these get skipped because they feel fuzzy, unclear, or even uncomfortable. Listen to this episode to get the clarity you need to achieve your business breakthrough and don’t forget to join us inside of Stand Out Society now!

We all have different seasons of life and as a result, sometimes it can be hard to dive back into something, like your product business, with as much passion and excitement as you previously had. Just remember that it’s okay and it happens. The beauty of owning your own business is that you have the freedom to change your business to meet your needs.

That’s exactly what Dawn of Fairy Tale Yarn Co and I do, in today’s episode. Dawn wants to ramp her business back up after spending the past few years dealing with difficult personal circumstances.

After going through a difficult season, the most important question becomes when you’re ready to dive back in, how do you bounce back? It all comes down to setting exciting goals, shifting your mindset and of course, breaking down the math!

After 20 years of coaching product bosses and running my own product businesses, I can immediately recognize certain gaps and missteps that happen in almost every new business. Recently, I thought of it in a different way: What kind of checklist would I put together if I were starting a new product business today? What steps would I take, and in what order, to make sure that I’m creating a foundation in my product business to get in front of my customers and make consistent sales from?

That’s why I created the Ultimate Checklist For Building Your Dream Product Based Business which takes this framework and narrows in on the four key areas you need to focus on nailing to build the solid foundations of your business.

In this episode, I review my 7-step framework that I would use to start a product-based business and also give you a clear roadmap of the four key areas you need to nail to start building the dream business you deserve.

Fresh from Shark Tank, Inner Circle Masterminder Aleah Montague joins the show today for a coaching session. Her business, “Meat the Mushroom,” is taking off. How can she keep up with skyrocketing demand, while sustainably scaling up? Tune in to find out.

First, we talk about the emotional and mindset aspect. When you start to see an increased demand and your sales start to increase so quickly, while it’s definitely a time for celebration, there’s also plenty of worry, stress, and the unknown. The stakes have suddenly become much higher and there are a lot of super important decisions that need to be made- and fast. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed. That’s why I’m so glad Aleah is in our Mastermind so we can surround her with advice and support.

Then we dive into the nitty-gritty. We spend a lot of time mapping out an org chart and defining and naming roles. The best part about being a product boss is that you get to create your own role based on what you are good at and what you like to do- your “zone of genius.” 

As a coach, it’s so rewarding to see the success and support a Masterminder who has hit a new level in their business. Join me in celebrating Aleah and Meat the Mushroom while discovering what you can learn from her growth and what to do to prepare for when your big day comes!
