Hey hey, Product Bosses! In this episode, I’m coaching Asli Wade of Boutique Butterlu—one of my incredible Inner Circle Masterminders.

If you've ever felt stuck in your business, unsure whether to pivot or push forward, this episode is for you. I chat with Kayleigh, the owner of Inspired to Enrich, to coach her through the challenges of scaling her business selling Story Coins. Like many entrepreneurs, Kayleigh is questioning whether she should refine her existing product or shift to an entirely new business idea. Together, we break down what it really takes to gain traction and build a profitable business.One of the biggest challenges product-based business owners face is skipping ahead before truly understanding their market. In our conversation, I walk Kayleigh through the process of refining her product, identifying her ideal customer, and gathering proof of concept. Instead of making drastic changes, sometimes the key to success lies in simplifying and doubling down on what’s already working. Market research, customer validation, and clarity on the product’s benefits are the real game changers.If you’re in a similar place—wondering if your product has real potential or if it’s time for a new direction—this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need. Consistent sales don’t happen by accident. They come from knowing exactly who you serve and why they need your product.
