In this episode of Beyond Margins, we explore the concept of calmer KPIs with guest Kendall Cherry, founder of The Candid Collective. Kendall shares her innovative metric, “Fresh Content Inked,” and how it has transformed her content creation process, business systems, and sales cycle—all while doubling her income. We geek out about how to build sustainable systems that create spaciousness in your business, reduce overwhelm, and prioritize what truly matters.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• What “Fresh Content Inked” is and why Kendall set a goal of writing six or fewer new pieces of content each month.
• How building a content library can create a “maintenance mode” for your marketing and free up time for other priorities.
• The benefits of an asynchronous sales process and how it aligns with calmer business principles.
• Why posting less—and strategically repurposing content—can lead to better results and higher-quality client connections.
• Kendall’s personal practices for staying creatively and emotionally balanced as a business owner.
