The Ecommerce Roadmap

If you've figured out how to get sales using just your grit, determination, and possibly sheer force of will…you may be in or approaching a state of burnout. 
The messy middle can feel draining and endless, but this week I've got some inspiration for you. Becky Youngberry started her quilting subscription box with two subscribers, $4,000 from savings, and a really bad day at her day job.
By year two, she'd hit $110,000 in revenue — putting her in the top 5% of independent ecom start ups.

Listen in and learn:
what it actually takes to build recurring revenue while working full time

why knowing your profit numbers must come before chasing growth

and how to manage mental health while building a business you love

This one is for every store owner who's figured out how to make sales — and is now trying to figure out how to make it sustainable.

There's a point many store owners reach where they've been working so hard for so long, that they begin to suspect that the light at the end of the tunnel is just…never going to appear. It's a terrible feeling.

In this episode I'm talking with Inner Circle coach Melissa  about the thing nobody says out loud: that if you really want to grow (sustainably) you have to slow down and build some systems and processes first.
You'll walk away with three action steps that will get you on track to start scaling towards a business that works for you, not the other way around. If you've had the sneaking suspicion lately that for as hard and long as you've been working, you should be further along…this one really is for you.

In the last few months, three members of our community — store owners just like you and me —  have faced lawsuits over website compliance. So I sat down with my favorite lawyer, Tannia Ospina, to talk about what you actually need on your website to stay compliant, why it matters more than most of us realize, and how to get it done without it taking over your life.
Three things you'll take away from this episode:
Small stores are targeted first, and your store is likely easier to target than you think.

Copy-pasting from Google or AI isn't enough.

Your existing policies may already be working against you.

 
Tannia is a longtime Inner Circle member, a business law and intellectual property attorney, and a former e-commerce store owner who built her brand Bell Threads from scratch since 2014. She created a legal compliance bundle specifically for product-based e-commerce store owners, and in this episode she breaks down exactly what's at stake and what to do about it. Listen in, and you'll sleep better tonight.
