    123. The 8 Things I’d Do to Build a Successful Business in 2026

    In this solo episode, I’m walking you through exactly what I’d focus on if I wanted to build a sustainable and successful small business in 2026 — without burnout, constant hustle, or overspending on things that don’t actually move the needle. We’ll talk systems, messaging, local visibility, social media, newsletters, SEO, client appreciation, and audience building — and how these pieces work together to create a business that’s profitable, personal, and built to last. The best part? Aside from software and a little swag, most of this is free. This is about putting money in your bank account, not just your Stripe dashboard. If you’re a small business owner who wants growth and longevity — and a business that actually supports your life — this episode is your blueprint.
