I made $22k over Black Friday, and it wasn't because of some flashy discount or crazy hustle. Most people are doing sales all wrong, skipping the steps that actually make launching feel fun and easy.   In this episode, I'm spilling: How I planned two separate launches (coaching + product) without losing my mind The simple strategy that got people saying "yes," sometimes even a day after the sale ended Why treating launches like a game changes everything (and makes sales actually feel good) No fluff. Just real strategies, real numbers, and behind-the-scenes stories that will make you rethink your next launch.   🎮 THE GAME OF SALES $99: https://www.twocanco.com/game ♟️ GET IN THE GAME THAT GROWS YOUR BUSINESS (POWER PLAY): https://www.twocanco.com/power-play   🎉 JOIN THE LAUNCH PARTY: https://t.me/+P_Sv-vLVIIUwNTRh

We're baaaaccccckkkkk!!!! I need to clear something up first: I said I was going to change the podcast's name… and then I didn't. In this relaunch episode, I'm sharing the real behind-the-scenes of why I set down the podcast, what is and isn't changing, & and the lessons I had to relearn about intuition, timing, and letting things evolve without forcing them. This episode is a reminder that: You're not a liar for changing your mind Your intuition is never wrong (even when logic says otherwise) You don't need a "problem" to evolve or grow Giving something new life doesn't mean starting over When the timing is right, things move faster — and with way more ease If you're a business owner who's tired of forcing, questioning a pivot, or craving more ease, fun, and alignment in 2026...you're in the right place. 🎉 The podcast relaunch party is officially happening! I'm giving away mentorship, credits, and fun surprises inside the private Telegram group. Here's the link: https://t.me/+P_Sv-vLVIIUwNTRh ✨ New episodes are back, including 5-Minute Fridays for bite-size reminders you can actually use. Welcome back to the Tipsy Business Podcast.
