717. From Burnout to Breakthrough: What Happens When You Let Go of a Business | Coaching Session
Welcome back Product Bosses! Have you ever gotten to a place where your business just doesn’t feel aligned anymore? In today’s heartfelt coaching session, I sit down with Alyse Steiner, the founder of TOSI Nursing Covers, who’s at a crossroads: should she sell her business or shut it down completely? What started as a passionate product born from her experience as a new mom has turned into something she’s now outgrowing—and Alyse is looking for a graceful way to move on.We dig into what it really means to exit your business—whether it’s through selling your inventory, handing over the reins to a new owner, or simply closing the chapter with intention. I share insights from my own journey of closing and selling businesses and how to look at your business as an asset, not a failure. We also brainstorm strategies for finding a buyer and packaging up the business to sell it as a “business-in-a-box.”If you’re feeling disconnected from your current business or are dreaming about what’s next, this episode is a must-listen. Learn how to let go with clarity and confidence—and maybe even use this moment as fuel for your next big idea.Resources:Learn more about Alyse’s product at TOCI Mom!Follow TOCI Mom on Instagram by clicking here.If you’re ready to create a sales engine that works for your product, your life, and your revenue goals, then sign up for our next Sales Accelerator program.

715. What’s Really Holding Your Product Business Back (Hint: It’s Not Strategy) | Coaching Session
Welcome back Product Bosses! This week, I’m coaching Hannah Kirby, the founder of Stable-ish—a brand that’s reimagining how we talk about and accessorize mental health. After her heart-shaped pill case took off on Etsy, Hannah found herself with a loyal audience, a strong brand, and real traction. But despite that success, she’s stuck. Not because of strategy, but because of mindset. And if you’ve ever felt that invisible resistance too—like you’re not sure you’re allowed to go after the life you want—then Hannah’s story is going to hit home.In this episode, we go beyond tactics and dive into what’s really holding Hannah back: the fear of not being worthy enough to do this work, and the legacy beliefs that tell her she should play it safe. Together, we explore how to rewrite those inner narratives so she can confidently step into the business owner she already is.You don’t want to miss this one. It’s a powerful reminder that the business you’re building isn’t just about products—it’s about your personal growth, your legacy, and the belief that you’re allowed to want more. Tune in to get re-inspired and start shifting your own mindset today.Resources:Learn more about Stableish and Hannah’s work around mental health awareness.

714. You Don’t Need an Audience to Build a Million-Dollar Product Business
Welcome back, Product Bosses! I know so many of you are out there asking yourselves, “How can I grow this business if I don’t have a big following?” Trust me, I hear this all the time—and I’m here to tell you that you do not need a huge audience to build a successful product-based business. In this re-air of one of our most-loved episodes, I share the story of how I launched my brand, Cuffs Couture, with no social media and no email list—and still turned it into a six-figure success.What changed everything for me? Learning to get in front of other people’s audiences. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how you can do the same—whether that’s selling on Amazon, at in-person markets, or to wholesale accounts. These are all visibility channels that already come with built-in customers ready to buy. I also talk about why relying on “free” social media isn’t always the smartest path, and how to create a strategy that doesn’t rely on going viral.So if you’ve been feeling stuck or discouraged about your follower count, this one’s for you. You can still build a thriving business—and I’ll show you how to start exactly where you are.Note: In this re-aired episode there is mention of one of our programs called Multi-$tream Machine (MSM). Since the original airing of this episode, this program has been updated to be called The Sales Accelerator.
