Say goodbye to chasing the algorithm, adding endless SKUs, or burning yourself out trying to “push through.” In this episode, I break down exactly why product businesses hit revenue plateaus (whether that’s $2K, $5K, $10K, or beyond) and the four practical shifts that move you past them without more hustle. You’ll learn how to simplify your offer line, price and bundle for profit, build a weekly sales rhythm that doesn’t rely on social media, and step into the CEO identity your next level requires. Walk away with a focused action plan you can apply across Etsy, Shopify, wholesale, markets, and more.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
00:00 Why plateaus happen (and why they’re a sign you’ve outgrown your old strategy.)
02:00 Reframing your mindset to make your next revenue goal a mile marker, not the finish line.
03:30 Are you making this mistake of being known for too many things?
09:00 Beware of pricing & offers that don’t scale (how to know your margins and raising AOV with bundles & upsells.)
12:30 How competing to be the “cheapest” is hurting your business.
14:20 The biggest marketing mistake I see business owners make (+ what to do instead.)
16:45 What to send instead of “newsletters” to actually get people to buy from your emails.
18:10 How to sell more through other people’s audiences (so you’re not dependent on your own following.)
20:00 How to upgrade your identity from Solopreneur to CEO.
22:15 How one of my students DOUBLED their revenue at markets with one change.
27:00 Your new mantra: “I’ve outgrown my old strategy, and I’m ready to lead the next version of me.” (and my business!)
