My Plans and Predictions for 2025
Originally, I wasn’t planning to share my plans for the coming year. Even though it can be tough to know what to share as someone who teaches other business owners to do what I do, I’m sharing this because I know this is going to work. I want to make sure that you have these reminders in front of you. You don’t need to make radical changes to your plans. But these ideas are truly what makes businesses in this industry scale.
Things You Need to Remember About 2024
As we get ready to close out the year, it’s natural to find ourselves at an inflection point. It’s the time of the year when we think about all the things we've done, all the things we would do differently, and maybe even some things we regretted along the way.
When I sat down to reflect on the past year, I felt a deep need to remember. To revisit lessons I’d learned before but was reminded of in new, impactful ways this year. These are lessons that aren’t just for me – they’re for all of us.
The Make-or-Break Question to Know if You’ll Succeed with Digital Products
What if I told you that success in business does not have to cost you absolutely everything you value? Too many people believe sacrifice is the only path to success, and that belief might be exactly what’s holding you back. Today, I unpack the one question that will determine whether you’ll successfully transition to a full-time living with digital products without sacrificing your life along the way.
The Funnel Strategy That Ended My Live Launch Burnout
In this episode, I break down why relying solely on live launches leaves money on the table and how pairing them with automated funnels creates the ultimate revenue-driving duo. I share why live launches are the perfect testing ground for building evergreen funnels that convert, plus the strategies that make this process seamless and effective!

The Future of Marketing for Online Business in 2024
Today I’m sharing best practices for tailoring your marketing strategy based on your business model. It doesn’t matter if your business serves customers in a one-to-one, one-to-many, or even a hybrid model. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all marketing plan, and at the end of the day, you have to market your business in a way that works best for YOU.
Not Everyone Has An Internal Monologue (Including My Husband)
Inevitably, you’re going to encounter people who simply don’t think the same way you do. Personally, it took me a long time to understand this. I always assumed that everyone problem-solved the same way, thought the same way, and came up with ideas in the same way. Like me, you might be surprised to learn that not everyone experiences inner dialogue in the same way or even at all! In fact, it’s estimated that 30 to 50% of people don’t have an “inner voice.”
What Business Should You Start? And How I’d Do It Now
Some of you are mulling over the question of what business to start. Others are just nosy and want to know how I would do it if I had the chance to start again. Which of your million-and-one ideas should you pursue? Where do you focus your time and energy? How niche do you go? Should you sell your offer as a service, a digital product, a course, or a membership? We answer all of these questions and more in today’s episode!
Going Viral for Good: From $0 to a $100M+ Brand with Jess Cervellon

Investing in Your Dream
As we approach the end of the year, it’s natural to reflect on what we truly want and where we would like to go next; to figure out what our plans and aspirations could potentially look like. Today we’re digging into what it looks like to invest in your dream and the things you truly want to pursue. How do you make that happen when there's still so much on your plate, so many areas of your life pulling at you, not to mention the finances required to keep things running? Join me today as I explore what it means to strike that balance and invest in your passion.
Why Strangers Support You More Than the People You Actually Know
I’ve been doing business for long enough to know that the people you love the most aren’t always your biggest supporters. Today, I discuss this slightly unsettling topic and share some advice that will make you feel empowered! I want to provide some insight into why strangers sometimes support you more than the people you actually know and help you see it as an opportunity instead of a source of frustration.
