Today, we are talking about something that makes us feel a little crazy... how many clients we have at once and how the heck we manage it without dropping all the balls. 😅 In this episode we are getting real and sharing some of our favorite client management tips. While, of course, maintaining our sanity and growing our bottom line.   We just counted, and right now, we have 15 clients (plus about three more on hold for various reasons). This is on top of building a course, running a coaching program, managing a podcast, and, ya know, all the other personal life stuff going on.    It feels a little insane but also totally manageable at the same time... we are about to tell you how!   Show Notes: https://duocollective.com/blog/client-management-tips  #61: https://duocollective.com/blog/automation-and-system-set-ups-with-dubsado-expert/  Asana: https://duocollective.com/blog/how-to-use-asana/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duoonairpodcast/

We are so excited to bring Sara Gillis on the podcast! Sara has been a student of ours, a friend and now a client! She is a copywriter specializing in helping female creative business owners, especially photographers, stand out through their words. There are so many topics we could talk about with her, BUT in today’s episode, we’re talking about her branding experience with us and everything that it entailed. From when she knew she needed a rebrand to the emotions that come along with the rebranding process, we talk about it all!  Show Notes: https://duocollective.com/blog/copywriting-client-rebranding-experience Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duoonairpodcast/

It’s hard to believe we are 100 episodes in, yet we still feel like we have just scratched the surface and have so much more to share!   For today’s episode, Courtney had a crazy idea… “How about we share 100 lessons we’ve learned in entrepreneurship?” We’re always up for a challenge. So here we go…. Rapid fire style.   Some of these are lessons, and some are confessions— just keeping it real with you guys.    Show Notes: https://duocollective.com/blog/100-lessons-weve-learned-in-entrepreneurship Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duoonairpodcast/

Rather than the whole look ahead and goal-setting theme that always comes around right before the new year, we wanted to take a different approach because well, we suck at celebrating. Maybe you do, too!  Instead, let’s spend this time reflecting on 2023 with some wins and not-so-much wins from this past year. This is going to be a real raw reflection and could turn into an emotional journey.   Links Mentioned In This Episode: Show Notes: https://duocollective.com/blog/reflecting-on-2023 Presale Doors Open for SEO On Tap: https://seocourse.duocollective.com/courses/seo-on-tap  #65: https://duocollective.com/blog/signs-you-are-ready-to-pivot-your-business/  #55: https://duocollective.com/blog/preparing-for-maternity-leave/  #87: https://duocollective.com/blog/courtneys-maternity-leave-recap/  #74: https://duocollective.com/blog/how-to-let-go-and-outsource/  #50: https://duocollective.com/blog/how-to-feel-more-confident-about-your-business-finances/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duoonairpodcast/
