Closing the loop

Bye for now

Jun 26, 2023

I’ll start this email off with a confession: I lied to you…oops!

In a game time decision, I’ve decided that The Process Report isn’t going away forever. It is still going on a break until later this year.

One of my core values is generosity, and this newsletter is a space where I get to be generous with the hard-won wisdom I’ve gathered as a business owner and creative.

As the kids say, “Hot girls don’t gatekeep.”

There’s something major in store for Inner Workout at the end of this year, and I want to document the process in this space.

Stay tuned!

Until then, let’s close the loop on this round of reports.

I started this newsletter to document my process of:

launching a book
launching two businesses
reimagining Inner Workout’s business model

Launching a book

Inner Workout has been in the world for just over three months! To date, I’ve sold close to 1,000 copies.

I’ve deepened my thought leadership through the book launch process, and Inner Workout’s audience grew because of the podcast and press appearances.

At this point, I don’t think there’s a strong case for a second book, and I’m ok with that. There’s lots of writing to come for another project if all goes as planned. 👀

Launching two businesses

Let’s start with the less sparkly news. I shut down Gateway Coaching. It was a lovely idea. I’m proud of myself for pulling together the tech and the network of coaches for the platform. I’m proud of myself for pivoting, and I’m really proud of myself for deciding to shut it down.

One of my new mottos is:

I try more than the average person, so I’ll fail more than the average person.

This is one of those “failures” that taught me lessons I’m already integrating into other parts of my life.

Now for the sparkle! The Lifestyle Business League is thriving. In fact, I just got back from the first planning retreat with my business partner, Amelia. I experienced obstacle after obstacle with Gateway Coaching, but building the League has been full of ease.

I’m obsessed with this free 5 Days to Build Your Biz Community challenge we developed. You’ll want to grab it if you’re a business owner who’s feeling disconnected from community.

Reimagining Inner Workout’s business model

It’s taken over six months, hours of customer discovery, and plenty of conversations with my trusted circle to finally feel excited about what’s next for Inner Workout.

I’m intimidated by what’s ahead, but I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge.

More to come! Now it’s time for heads down mode.

I’ll be back later this year. Probably September at the earliest.
