Author: Susan Bradley: E-commerce Expert July 28, 2026 Duration: 47:57

If you've ever found yourself having thoughts like "I'm wasting my time" or worse…"I'm draining money from my family", this episode is for you. Laura Kleber spent years juggling too many products, carrying business debt, and questioning whether to shut it all down. Today she's pulling in 475 orders a month and loving every minute she works in her business. What made all the difference was a few honest decisions, a willingness to go all in on one thing, and the patience to let consistency do its job.

Listen in and learn these 3 valuable steps to:

  • Re-set. Remove the outside pressure (debt, financial stress) and gain clarity.

  • Re-focus. Stop spreading yourself thin, and commit to one thing.

  • Stay Consistent. Show up on a schedule, track your numbers, and give it time.
