Episode notes

Be honest. When was the last time you said you were gonna launch something… and then let your idea sit in a Google Doc because you “just need to finish the sales page” or “should probably finish all this client work first.”

(I’ll go first. It was last month.)

This week on the pod, I brought in one of my faves — and one of yours, too — Kelsey McCormick of Coming Up Roses. Kelsey’s the go-to expert on launching your own way (yes, even if you’re squiggly, squirrel-brained, or about to have your second baby).

And because I know y’all come here for the actual tea, I didn’t ask her the “So, tell us how you got started” questions. No ma’am. I asked the good stuff, like: “What should you do first when you have a cold audience,” “How often should you launch,” and sooooo much more!
