DairyFreeFitChick ,

Thank you!!

I have been slowly moving my business away from the soul sucking social media rat race and it’s not suffered at all! In fact, I’m making more because I have more time to devote to the actual business and people who find what I offer useful.
To be honest, it’s not a niche that needs typical social media. I see that now. (Btw, I don’t think YT is social media!)
But, I want to start a new business..one that I felt like needed the typical social media platforms so I’ve put it off because I didn’t want to go that route to try and build it.
I’m grateful to this podcast because I’m feeling confident that I may not have to use it at all!
Thank you for putting so many great ideas out there and for all the interesting guests!!
This is so inspiring and I’m excited to start the slow build of my new business adventure!

The Pocket PhD ,

Love the transparency!

As a small business owner, I often feel in the dark about my finances. I just listened to the April monthly forecast episode, and I soooo appreciated Amelia’s transparency about Softer Sounds’ finances in Q1. It was so helpful to hear the context and the breakdown. What a refreshing voice breaking through all the “hustle harder” noise.

AshleyMariposa ,

The podcast I need right now!

I have been diving in to this podcast over the last few weeks and am learning so much about how to navigate my business in new ways. I am currently still on social media but curious to explore other ways to get my work out there and create a supportive business that doesn’t include me burning myself out in the process. The host, Amelia is refreshingly transparent and offers so many gems in each episode. I am definitely downloading the rest of the season!
