EPISODE 355: The Number One Thing You Need to Know When Launching

Got something exciting in the works – a new product, a service, a book, maybe even a podcast? Then this episode is for YOU.

In today's chat, I'm sharing my best launch advice ever – the kind that turns "meh" launches into momentum-building, community-powered rollouts. Spoiler alert: showing up with your launch already done is a marketing misstep. Instead, I'll walk you through how to bring your people on the journey so they're ready to buy when you're ready to sell!

Plus, I dive into my own book launch experience and show you exactly what a six-week runway launch strategy looks like – step-by-step.

Running a small business often feels like a constant juggling act, where the big dreams meet daily grind. The Small Business Made Simple Podcast cuts through that noise with practical, actionable conversations. Host Jenn Donovan brings her background as a speaker, author, and marketer directly to your earbuds, but she’s not just theorizing. Having been deep in the trenches herself, she understands the unique mix of ambition and overwhelm that defines the entrepreneurial journey. This podcast focuses on real-world application, offering bite-sized social media and marketing strategies you can implement immediately, without needing a massive budget or a dedicated team. You’ll also hear from fellow small business owners who share their own stories-the successes, the stumbles, and the lessons learned along the way. It’s a blend of expert guidance from Jenn and peer-to-peer solidarity, all designed to provide both clarity and accountability. Think of each episode as a focused coaching session that helps break down larger goals into manageable steps, reinforcing the confidence that you can, indeed, build the business you envision. Tune in for honest talk that simplifies the complex, making growth feel less like a solitary struggle and more like a shared, achievable path forward.
