Episode 771
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS:

We’ve just finished week 7 of Season III!

How can you possibly keep up these days?! That's what I've been hearing from a number of listeners lately, and I totally get it: there's just so much information out there, so many social media networks, and so many things you could do to grow your business. But of course, we all have limited time.

Well, I'll give my answer in today's Weekly Recap, but here's a sneak peek: change presents opportunity.

In today’s recap: how to decide what to keep up with (as well as what to ignore) and an audio update from a previously featured story.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW:

Today, we have an update from Ruthie Youngman, who was featured on the show in Ep. 110.

"If your business is built on a platform like Etsy or Amazon, it’s important to stay current—but it’s impossible to keep up with everything, so don’t try."
