The Exact Steps I’d Take If I Launched a Product-Based Business Right Now

Welcome back, product bosses! If you’ve ever had an idea for a product but didn’t know what to do next—or if you’re knee-deep in your business and wondering what step you missed—this episode is for you.

What would I do if I had to start a new product-based business in 2025? That’s the exact question I’m answering in this re-air of one of our most-loved episodes. With over two decades of experience and 2,000+ product brands launched, I’ve created a proven 7-part framework that takes you from a lightbulb moment to a scalable, sellable, and memorable product-based brand.

FROM IDEA TO LAUNCH: THE 7 STEPS TO BUILDING YOUR DREAM PRODUCT BUSINESS

In this episode, I walk you through each step of the journey:

  1. Ideate It – We start by validating your product idea, identifying a real market need, and carving out your unique selling proposition—even in a saturated category like candles or skincare.

  2. Make It – Then, we explore how to create your product, whether handmade, manufactured, or sourced. I help you think through scalability, cost, and quality before you even get started.

  3. Brand It – Here’s where most people get stuck. I talk about building a brand that resonates with your ideal customer—through visuals, story, packaging, and positioning.

  4. Market It – Marketing isn’t just about Instagram. I explain how to build trust, grow your audience, and engage through content, while also building your email list for long-term success.

  5. Sell It – The key is starting with one focused sales channel. I walk you through how to test and refine your offer, learn what’s working, and build a hero product that becomes your bestseller.

  6. Operate It – Let’s talk logistics. From pricing for profit to legal setup, shipping, fulfillment, and customer service—these back-end systems create the foundation that keeps your business running smoothly.

  7. Grow It – Once your business has traction, it’s time to scale. Whether through additional sales channels, new products, or bigger marketing campaigns, I’ll help you make smart, strategic moves that lead to real growth.

This episode is packed with step-by-step insights, real-life stories, and actionable strategies to help you build a business that lasts—whether you’re just getting started or ready to restructure what you’ve already built. Plus I’m giving away my FREE Ultimate Checklist that will help you build and strengthen your Dream Product-Based Business. Listen in for more details.
