I’m confused… For $75 they will sell me 3 shopping lists for common groceries? So these damn grocery lists will cost more than the groceries themselves? Haha… Nice marketing tricks. My capitalist senses are tingling, 😉 Thanks!

You can now publish to IG via Hootsuite. I love that Simple Green Smoothies has been able to thrive, now that fermented and/or vinegar-based beverages are growing in popularity.
Thanks for sharing that awesome tip Melissa!
Fantastic podcast episode, my favourite yet.
For the past 18 months I have procrastinated on an idea within a specific niche, in the online education industry, and I think my issue is a lack of confidence. I’m worried about putting in all my time, effort and passion into a project that I am unsure would be successful.
You just made my day Darren. Glad this episode was helpful to you! And I know all about sitting on ideas. The best thing you can do is put your work out there, and if it doesn’t stick, go back to dream up another idea. Learn about the gaps in the marketplace that people you want to serve are struggling with. It’s all about solving problems and/or guiding people to their next step to become more awesome people. The Youpreneur Community could be a great place to get support on those days you’re not feeling as confident. Your tribe is waiting for you!
