    #259: My CRAZIEST Business Idea Yet, Here's Exactly How I'm Making it Work

    #259: My CRAZIEST Business Idea Yet, Here's Exactly How I'm Making it Work

    I bought a church...

    Well, technically, I rented a church, but it sounds much more dramatic when I say I bought one. It's actually the building that we secured to start a second business, and boy, this ride has been wild! 

    I've chatted about this whole process quite a bit with some of the amazing women I work with, but I've been itching to dive into it on the podcast because it's been one heck of an adventure—opening a second business, and one that's totally offline. 
    So, behind the scenes, for the past couple of months, I've been knee-deep in a project to reclaim the keys to an old church. Yep, it's been standing tall since 1890, right smack in the downtown core of my neck of the woods.

    Now, I know what you're thinking—what does snagging an old church have to do with online business, Jan?

    Stick with me, because I'm about to spill the beans and dive into some of the strategies we've been using for this project. And get this, we're flipping the script a bit—we've been using online tactics to launch this offline business!

    Yep, you heard that right. While I usually dish out advice on using offline techniques to kickstart online ventures, this time around, we've been pulling out all the online stops to get this offline biz up and running in record time.

    So, buckle up, because I'm about to spill some juicy details and share how I've been mixing things up strategically with this new community hub that we've launched called, The Pews.

    Ready to dive in with me? Let's do this!

    #257: I'm Quitting Instagram and This is Why

    #257: I'm Quitting Instagram and This is Why

    I'm saying goodbye to Instagram... well, at least the main feed for now. And you know I wouldn't make a move like this without spilling all the tea on why.

    Honestly, Instagram and I? We've never quite clicked. Sure, I pushed through the friction because, let's face it, not liking something isn't always a good enough reason to quit, especially if there's a return on the investment. And for a minute there, Instagram did pay off. It wasn't exactly driving sales for my business, but it was a solid top-of-funnel channel. Until it wasn't anymore.

    Now, you know I'm all about that data-driven life. And let me tell you, the numbers have been screaming at me lately. Despite pouring hours into content creation, engaging, and posting, the returns just aren't cutting it. No reach, no financial boost. But my other marketing channels? It's a whole different story. The returns there? They're worth the effort.

    So, I'm making a bold move and bidding adieu to Instagram. In this behind-the-scenes episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I'm making my exit and what I'll be doubling down on to market my online business instead.

    Trust me, this shift? It's gonna be a game-changer. So grab something delish to drink, pop in the earbuds and let's get down to (social media free!) business.

A wealth of innovative information!

I’m a big fan of Jan’s, and each episode I learn at least one new thing or way of doing something that hadn’t occurred to me before. I appreciate how matter of fact she is and the value she delivers without a lot of fluff or filler.

Alex J Sanfilippo ,

Jan is awesome!

Not only does Jan do an amazing job bringing on super interesting and high-quality guest, but also, Jan herself is so knowledgeable on so many fronts because of her background and experience. I cannot express how valuable this podcast is because of this beautiful combination! Truly, an A+ show!!!

Top-Notch Content!

Jan is building something special with this podcast. She is bringing years of her own wisdom and experience to each episode and driving powerful conversations with insightful guests to really bring the value home. I tried to leave a 6-star rating, but Apple only allows five. Highly recommend!
