Rachel Olson (find her online at www.shesgonebananas.com)

Rachel is the Owner of the custom baking business She’s Gone Bananas. She’s also a mom, a wife, and still holds a full-time job.

In this interview, Rachel shares how she turned her passion for baking into a business. Like many of you, she had to start this business on the side, her motivation and determination is contagious.

“The real drive here is hustle and passion and I like nice things, LOL. In all seriousness, I just want to inspire people.  I want people to at least try and if they fail, at least they can say they tried.  I’ve failed a lot, I’ve tried multiple businesses.  I even claimed for years and years that I wasn’t a baker and now look at me!  Once I stopped listening to the people telling me “I can’t” and listened to my calling it all clicked.”

Ep 830 3 Things to Do This Month to Get More People Buying From Your Online Business | 30-Day Online Sales Sprint: Part 1

You’re creating content, talking about your offers, showing up online, and doing what you’ve been told will grow your business—but the sales still aren’t matching the amount of effort you’re putting in.

So what do you actually need to focus on if you want to get more customers and increase online sales without adding even more to your plate?
That’s what we’re tackling in Part 1 of my 30-Day Online Sales Sprint.

Instead of giving you another giant list of marketing strategies to try, I’m narrowing it down to three things to focus on for the next 30 days.
