When You Get a Bad Review

What do you do when you get a bad review? How do you *not* take it personally? This episode was recorded within a day of getting our very first bad review on The Product Boss podcast - when it feels the most personal. We talk about how we handle reviews in business and in life and how, as a business owner, its inevitable that you receive bad reviews and how you can handle those reviews with the good reviews. Should it actually impact you and your business - or should it not?

Adding New Products - Good Idea or Bad Idea For Your Business?

Listen to episode #73:

This is a really common question we get when we are working with Product Bosses: should I add more product to my business? This question creeps in from every stage from start-up to 5-figure to 6-figure and above. First of all, great question. Second, it is always really tempting for everyone. In this episode, we chat about three key areas that you, as a Product Boss, should consider before adding a product to your existing line. Walk through these three things and check (and verify) if adding a product is indeed right for you and your business.
