Ep 616: Do It The Unfancy Way

July 15, 2026 · 50 min

Show notes

Sometimes we perfectionists have a hard time following through with our business plans simply because we're trying to market and sell in the 'fancy' way. And because that's so hard to do consistently, without burning out, we don't do enough marketing and selling to make the sales we want.

In this episode I'm sharing why you want to build your business the unfancy way. And why this doesn't mean you have to come across as unprofessional.

If you're a perfectionist and you're building a business, you want to listen to this episode today.
