I'm not saying this to brag but it's the 6th of January and I've already booked my entire year of time away from the business. I'm acutely aware that as a solo entrepreneur and business owner, time off can often be one of the things that slip... So I've booked all of them... flights, accommodation, travel... all booked. Have you booked yours?

Would love to have a chat about a new product I want to launch (a journal) around printing costs and fulfilling orders. I initially want to sell on Esty or have a Shopify account but open to other suggestions. Thanks so much!

If you had a magic wand and could improve just one part of your marketing this week, what would you pick, and why? Share the one change you think would make the biggest difference in sales (even if it feels small). Bonus points if you tell us what you’ve already tried and what’s getting in the way. If you’re not sure what to choose, here are 10 marketing tactics people often want to improve. Pick one that makes you think, “Yep… that’s mine”: 1. Your offer (what you’re selling and how it’s packaged) 2. Your pricing (too low, too high, unclear, or hard to justify) 3. Your website headline (does it instantly say who it’s for and what it does?) 4. Your call to action (are you clearly telling people what to do next?) 5. Your social media hooks (first line, first 2 seconds, scroll-stopping) 6. Your content consistency (posting rhythm and content plan) 7. Your email list growth (how you capture leads) 8. Your email sales messages (turning subscribers into buyers) 9. Your follow-up system (DMs, enquiries, abandoned carts, “thinking about it”) 10. Your testimonials and proof (reviews, case studies, before/after, social proof) What’s your one thing?

Hi Mark! I have a question for you. I noticed your 7 Vegan Business Mistakes download is hosted on your website, and I’m wondering how you get forms and such set up like that. Do you use something like FloDesk or is it like a WordPress site with a plugin? I’m attempting to figure out the tech stuff I have to have in place but I’m uninterested in paying subscriptions for literally everything and then being at the mercy of a random company to house my info.
