    Prologue: Slow & Steady isn't failing

    In this prologue episode of Personal Business, I reflect on what's come up in the week since I announced my intention to rebuild my business Slow & Steady Studio in public and why even if the business isn't working that doesn't mean it's failing.

    Every good strategy starts with an audit

    Before jumping into new strategies and tactics, every Slow & Steady client engagement starts with an audit to figure out what works and what definitely doesn't. In this episode Amanda Laird turns the tables and uses the Just Enough Marketing Framework on her own business and uncovers some, let's say, uncomfortable truths about how she's showing up (or not).

    Market Research Insights: Part I

    So far I’ve talked to 14 of my current and past clients, the almost clients that I sent proposals to but didn’t convert and fellow small business owners to hear more about what’s hard about being in business in 2025; why they chose to work with me (or not); and what parts of my current offers were compelling and what doesn’t connect.  💻 Join the free Just Enough Session on July 16 📞 Leave a message on the Personal Business Hotline 💌 Subscribe to the Slowdown

    What if I was wrong? Or, running a business from the depths of despair.

    After a great week onboarding new clients, upward trending revenue and feeling like I’ve got my business groove back I start to question if maybe I was a little too quick to declare that my business wasn’t working? In this episode I reflect on: ✨ A recent conversation about the difference between something not working and not fully trying; ✨ How I drastically underestimated my own grief and how that affected me and my business this year; ✨ And a gentle, loving reminder from a biz friend that there were very real things that need to change to make Slow & Steady sustainable and profitable for the long term.  Additional reading: How to write a newsletter from the depths of despair. -- Head's up, the audio may be a little quieter than usual as I had some tech challenges (i.e. I forgot to turn on my mic so it was recorded through the inline mic on my headphones). -- 💻 Join the free Just Enough Session on July 16 📞 Leave a message on the Personal Business Hotline 💌 Subscribe to the Slowdown

    What does Amelia Hruby think I should do?

    Sometimes business advisors need a little advice on what to do too.  And when I’m in need of a fresh perspective, the first voice note I’m sending is always to my biz friend and host of Off the Grid, Amelia Hruby.   So of course Amelia is our inaugural guest here on Personal Business! I’m thrilled to share our recent conversation on everything from 2025 business trends (everybody is tired and everybody is launching) to my fear of inadvertently becoming a coach-coaching-coaches kind of coach. Plus, I reflect on what felt so good about the small group beta experiment I ran earlier this year and Amelia taps into my Sacral Generator Authority to ask me some yes or no questions about potential new offers. Could I be coming around to a done-for-you offer? Tune in to find out! 🌐 Connect with Amelia Off the Grid, at Softer Sounds Studio or ameliahruby.com. 📞 Leave a message on the Personal Business Hotline 💌 Subscribe to the Slowdown

    Introducing Amanda Laird, Growth Marketing Strategist

    While I'm still a bit unclear as to how or if or when my offers and business model might be evolving here at Slow & Steady, I have landed on a pretty important (and exciting!) decision: my title. As of today, I am officially officially calling myself a Growth Marketing Strategist for creatives, solopreneurs and small businesses. In this episode, I'm sharing a bit more about how I landed on this title, how I'm defining Growth Marketing and why I think this is the best way to describe my work and approach to marketing strategy. 📞 Leave a message on the Personal Business Hotline 💌 Subscribe to the Slowdown
