    My business was thriving and now it’s floundering - what do I do?

    In today’s episode we dive into this letter from a listener: “I am a small business owner with chronic illnesses who loves your podcast tremendously. I've learned so much from you, and I come to you today with a question: what happens when you've deeply invested in a business that once did quite well, but is now floundering? How do I figure out my next steps? I run an online writing school that, in the flush years of 2020 and 2021, easily charged thousands of dollars for tuition that people happily paid. Over the years, fewer and fewer people were willing to pay such large amounts, until at this point we sell membership in the Academy for $67 when we used to charge $2200 for essentially the exact same thing, and even now we don't have many sign-ups anymore. Part of me tells myself that it's the economy, but I also see businesses doing quite well - usually businesses that help people make money, however, which mine does not do. I am bringing in less than a thousand dollars a month when I work harder than I ever did at a 9-to-5. But because I am chronically ill, I need to work for myself for the flexibility. I have built a beautiful offer suite organised around the online writing school. Objectively, it should bring in a healthy income. But the people are just not coming anymore, and I don't know what to do. I am burned out and don't know what to do.” In today’s episode Sara and Jen explore the questions we can ask ourselves when we feel like we’re stuck in a slow-down in our business and how to honour our capacity and needs in the process of supporting our business to thrive again too.

    How can I create more space for my non-client work in my business?

    In today’s episode we dive into this letter from a listener: Lately, I've been inspired to grow my non-client work and my unpaid projects into a bigger part of my business. I have a published book, a podcast, and regular events - but they're not closely related to each other! This makes it really hard to grow any one of them, let alone all of them, when my client work is what pays the bills. I end up prioritizing client work above all these other projects, and I end up with very little time to spend on growing these other projects that I'd prefer to be the focus of my future. I have a gigantic list of ideas and dreams related to these projects, but it's felt like my paying client work is "getting in the way." Do you have any ideas on how I could create the time or space to grow my lesser-paying work when my client work isn't the dream? In today’s episode Sara and Jen explore how we can balance the work that pays the bills and the creative projects that truly light us up and create more space for all of the things we want to create, explore, and experience in this journey. Would you love some encouragement and support in your business? Submit your letter for an upcoming episode here. More from Sara More from Jen Looking for a podcast editor?
