I have good news and bad news. The good news first. We have product. I’m in business.The bad news? I’m afraid to launch. Can I really sell 2400 pairs of socks? Hard to believe, right? I have years of experience growing successful businesses, and yet, I’m having...

Last week, we received our very first samples of our new product. It’s a big deal. This is the first version of the product that I’m betting on to reach sales of $50K. Because things are getting real, and Q4 is around the corner, it’s time for us to step on the gas...

Here’s what great about starting all over again. Now I know what I can do to create a low stress, profitable business. This week I’m talking about two things I learned while growing my last company Wee Squeak. They’re gems, and so worth repeating for this next...

If you’ve been following the Roadmap to $50K on Shopify, you already know I’m still in the product development stage. And while it might seem like it’s taking forever to get to the fun part, where I actually have a product, the reality is that what I do now, before I...

Last week I told you about my #1 rule for my new business.It’s my deal breaker. You can see it here! I actually have more rules. A lot of rules. They’re not equally important, but in the last few years of running Wee Squeak, and working with clients, I’ve paid...

Do you ever feel like your business takes two steps forward and one step back? That’s me, with our new sock business on Shopify. This week, two steps forward - samples are approved. Whoop!! And then a step back - ugh. A new dilemma. Watch and you’ll see how we...

It’s time to spill the beans on my first go at the product for my new store on Shopify. Here’s the story behind my initial idea, my why and how I was going to pull it off. Be warned, this also includes: The big mistake that almost cost me thousands. My original...

Here’s why I’ll make a product that doesn’t last forever. I know what you’re thinking. It kind of stinks that someone would deliberately make a product that is designed to expire, break down, or simply wear out. But I’m here to tell you, it’s part of my plan. It’s one...
