Would you choose it again?

Published 23 days ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader!

It’s funny how quickly "I'm going to try this" can turn into "Welp, I guess I have to do this forever now."

You start posting on a new platform. You add a service. You decide every client gets a particular extra.

At the time, you have a reason. Maybe it's a good one! But now you're tired, the business has changed, and somehow that thing is still on your list because, well, it's on your list, and people expect it from you. Or at least you think they do.

Over the summer, I took my business through a pretty extensive audit. I looked at my offers, my website, and where my time, money, and energy were going. It led to some significant changes, including letting go of an offer I really wanted to keep.

The biggest questions I had to keep asking myself were:

"Is this a nice to have or a need to have?"

and

"If I had never started [offering this / doing things this particular way], would I choose to do it now?"

What I realized is you can still value the work you put into building something without signing yourself up to keep maintaining it forever. And there's no shame in changing how you do things (no matter what we might tell ourselves).

I’m opening Season 5 of Bold Women in Business with an honest look at my own audit: the decisions I made, the things I let go of, and the parts I’m still working through.

Come listen if you're ready to take a closer look at what you're carrying in your business.

Boldly yours,

Rachel Honeyman

How to use AI ethically in your business without losing your voice

Hey Reader! If AI saves you 45 minutes of work, what are you supposed to do with those 45 minutes? According to approximately every productivity bro on the internet, the answer is apparently more work. Create more content! Build another offer! Optimize something else! 🙃 It's the same pressure to squeeze something useful out of every second of your day, now with a whole new set of tools to help you do it. And honestly, it's exhausting... So I loved where my conversation with Erika Stanley went...

Hey Reader! My husband isn’t really on social media — and yes, I get the irony, seeing as I teach social media.😜 So every now and then, a conversation about my work comes with a little detour to explain what’s happening on the interwebs. A couple of weeks ago, I was ranting about AI-generated flyers, and he had no idea what I meant. I'll be honest, I have never been so jealous of his blissful ignorance. I’d happily take a time machine back to before my eyes were accosted by all those...

Hey Reader! I have a tendency to get a little offer happy — and I have a feeling you might, too. It's one of the blessings and curses of entrepreneurship. We've got 12,000 ideas bouncing around at any given time, and we're always looking for more ways to help our audience. But how many times have you gotten excited about one of those ideas, created an offer, and put it out into the world... only to get crickets in return? (Tell me it's not just me 🫣) This week, I'm sharing a conversation with...
