Taking Inventory
09/26/23 • 40 min
My goal for my life is a successful, kind, simple existence that I feel proud of. One that isn't complex or complicated or confusing. From relationships to business, I'm looking for things I look forward to waking up to each and every day! For me, that's the definition of success.
The way to start achieving that, I believe, is to let go of all the things that are getting in the way.
Yet, despite my best intentions, I complicate, confuse, and get stuck in situations that I know aren’t right for me. Mismatched situations, "yes's" when I should've said "no".
I want this for you too when it comes to your marketing and visibility efforts. I want you to feel SO excited and good and passionate about what you’re doing and how you’re sharing it. So that marketing, visibility, and content creation go from loathsome to FUN! Because you’re just sharing in a way that feels good and what you’re excited about.
This episode is all about how to start working towards that as we take inventory of everything we have happening visibility-wise and go through it with a fine-tooth comb.
In this episode, I talk about Taking Inventory as it relates to your marketing as we dive into:
- How and why to set time aside to review your visibility and content
- How to think about your marketing efforts vs. your content creation
- How to take stock of everywhere you're visible
- How to realistically (and honestly) evaluate what went well and why, and what didn't!
- How to provide more resounding "yes's" and clear "no's" in the future

What to Do When Things Fail (Risky Business Series: Part 1) 🕷️
These days, we see a lot of highlight reels. A lot of successes, wins, accomplishments, achievements, celebrations, and not-so-humble brags.
What we don’t always see or hear about are the flops, mistakes, and failures. The flailing and wailing that results when something doesn’t go at all how we hoped and planned, or it just doesn’t go... at all.
In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about what to do when we fail.
"What to Do When Things Fail" is part one of my October Risky Business Series in which we'll be talking about: failing, what do to when business is slow, horrific stuff I see in content, getting ghosted, and how to make planning less scary.
In this week's episode:
- The definition of failure
- Facing the facts and sharing the reality of failure as a part of life and business
- Two of my best-kept failure secrets
- Four steps to help you fail forward and move with intention
- Should you ask for outside help to handle your failures?
- Do you need to announce when you fail?
Resources mentioned:
Farnoosh Torabi's episode on the She Built This podcast talking about her new book, A Healthy State of Panic, and the fear around failure.
