It's easy to want to give our customers as many options as possible. But sometimes when we offer TOO much, we can easily overwhelm our customers which can lead to missed sales. In fact, the holidays are oftentimes when customers get the most overwhelmed – and that's when they're ready to buy the most!

So, in this episode I'm sharing some common areas where you need to assess and make sure you're making it as easy as possible on your customers.

Here are the areas I cover:

• Sending too many emails or including too much content in those emails.
• Having too many options.
• Bombarding your customers with popups or too many words on your website.
• Too many social media posts that don't reflect your business well.

Whether you're just starting your business or have been in business for a while, chances are you've never paid yourself or if you have, you don't do it regularly. My goal in this episode is to encourage you to shift your mindset now so you can kick off 2023 ready to start paying yourself!

Here are a couple mindsets you may be facing when it comes to actually writing their own paycheck:

1. You have expenses and "can't afford" to pay yourself;
2. You don't have a clue what you should pay yourself;

4. You probably need to trim some expenses, but you're not sure what.

This episode is full of practical tips on how to not only prepare to start paying yourself, but actually start writing out your paycheck.
