We’re going to do something a little bit different today. I’m going to go beyond advice and give you a behind-the-scenes look at my business and what we’ve been focusing on for the past quarter, as well as what we’ll be focusing on in the future. I’ve noticed when I listen to other people’s podcasts or look at their websites that I always learn a lot when I get real-world examples of what’s working and what’s not, so today we’re not talking theory. We’re talking real life. Listen in to hear exactly what’s been going on with my business and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Today we’re diving into another coaching and consulting session, this time with Bree Noble of Femusician.com. Bree is in a very interesting situation, and it’s one that I see a lot of other people struggle with, as well. In fact, I was in the same situation in the past.

So what is that situation? It’s the content treadmill. Bree creates a ton of free weekly content, from podcasts to Facebook Live videos and more, and the question is whether it’s all worth it. Listen in to hear our discussion about what to focus on when deciding how much free content to put out there.

Today we’re diving into your questions! You’ve probably seen in some previous episodes where people came on the show for a coaching or consulting session so we could tackle their problems, but I’ve been getting so many submissions that I can’t have everyone on the show. So what I decided to do for this episode—and maybe a future one, as well, because there are a lot of questions that have come in—is do a little rapid-fire session of answering some of the questions I’ve received.

Odds are, these challenges are shared and they’re things you’re either facing now or will likely face in the future. Tune in to learn how to tackle them!
