Is it working? Sticking with it when you're not sure


Hey Reader,

Have you ever heard something that blew your mind immediately?

Recently I was on a Zoom call with a new connection. I was lamenting that I wasn’t sure if I was headed in the right direction, if I needed to make changes or really what I needed to do. She said, “Maybe it’s time to just stick with it.”

🤯🤯

I'm making a few tweaks this year, but mostly I'll be here, sticking with it by:

  • Continuing to put out the podcast! Season 3 launched today with Advice you’re not hearing about digital products
  • Making some minor adjustments to my podcast graphic, description and format after a podcast audit with Joe Casabona, plus refreshing my YouTube and social graphics
  • Committing to at least one more bonus episode after season 3 ends mid-year, even though the response to these isn't what I've been hoping for
  • Doing 2-3 lives this year
  • More aggressively offering free, 30-minute strategy calls (book yours now)

What about you? Are you wondering if what you're doing is working? Is it time for you to just stick with it? Reply and let me know. I'd love to hear from you.

Best,
Rene

Hey Reader, Since I broke my ankle last year, I've had a difficult time finding my way back into a regular exercise routine. I've tried a LOT of things that haven't worked well, but for the past month, I've just been writing down what I've done. Seeing this list, I can feel sort of a pull. I don't want to let it (or myself) down by writing none for a few days in a row. It got me thinking that if you're trying to work on your product, you could: Plan ahead of time, like with this Google Sheet....

Hey Reader, In the podcast episode that dropped today, Laura shared that she loved to create digital products, but she didn't love hooking up the twiddly bits. Creating the sales page, adding the product listing, connecting to her email marketing platform, making sure the emails were configured properly – that kind of stuff. I'm wondering if Laura is in the majority or the minority, so my question for you is – what parts do you love and what parts do you not love about creating, launching or...
