Welcome back Product Bosses! Let’s talk real numbers. What would an extra $10,000 this holiday season look like for your business? In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact formula to map out your $10K plan—whether that’s over a weekend, a month, or even in a single hour! I’m breaking down how to align your sales target with your best-selling products, calculate exactly how many units you need to sell, and shift from “I hope” to “I’ve got a plan.”

So many product-based business owners go into Q4 without a clear strategy. They think they need more products, more time, or more content—but what they really need is focus and simplicity.

Welcome back Product Bosses! Do you ever feel like the only way to grow your business is to post more, get featured, or go viral? You’re not alone. So many of us have been led to believe that more visibility is the magic key to sales success. But here’s the truth—more eyeballs on your brand won’t fix a leaky sales engine.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the core principle we teach inside the Sales Accelerator: before you scale, you need to audit. I share what happens when students like mine land massive visibility—like going viral, appearing on Shark Tank, or being featured by a celebrity —and what actually makes those moments convert into revenue. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about traffic. It's about having the right systems in place to convert that traffic into consistent, profitable sales.

So if you’ve ever launched a product, run a promo, or had a viral moment and thought, “Why didn’t this convert like I expected?”—this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through our three-part sales engine check: Attract, Convert, Multiply. You’ll discover how to plug your sales leaks, sell more with what you’ve already got, and finally build a business that’s ready to scale. Plus, I’ve got a free checklist to help you fix it fast—grab it in the show notes!

• 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. No overwhelm. No endless to-do lists. Just simple, strategic shifts that turn your existing efforts into a well-oiled machine.

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.
