Hi Reader,

Ever spent way too much time tweaking an offer instead of just launching it? Because, SAME.

I spent so long overthinking my first digital offer—adding pages, removing pages, changing the format — until I almost scrapped it altogether.

Turns out, I was stuck in the “perfect offer trap.” And guess what?...

That perfectionism wasn’t helping anyone, especially not my business.

In this featured episode of The Inspired Brew, I’m sharing the biggest mistakes I made when launching my first offers — so you can skip the stress and start making sales.

Here’s what I cover:
💡 The perfectionism spiral that nearly killed my first product
💡 The pricing mistake that backfired big time
💡 How I complicated my tech stack (and what I do differently now)

Ready to launch smarter, not harder?
