Did you know? 60% of your Q4 sales will come from customers who engaged with you in the first half of the year. While that's a huge percentage, there is still a lot of opportunity for you to acquire new customers in Q3 that can turn into repeat customers during the holiday season.  But acquiring new customers isn't the only thing you'll want to focus on. You want to get those people onto your email list so you can continue to market them throughout the rest of the year.  What does that take? An intentional email list-building strategy.     _______ Links Mentioned Content Badassery: https://ecommercebadassery.com/content-badassery   _______ Get the Full Show Notes http://ecommercebadassery.com/329   _______   Let's Connect Website: http://ecommercebadassery.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/ecommercebadassery Membership: http://ecommercebadassery.com/membership   _______   Rate, Review, & Subscribe Like what you heard?

Don't Fall for the Buyer's Trap: Why No-Marketing Businesses Aren't Easy Wins In this episode of Jackquisitions, we dive into a common pitfall many first-time buyers fall for—the belief that a business with little or no marketing is a “goldmine” just waiting to be unlocked. Spoiler: it's not that simple. Using the tongue-in-cheek example of an underwater basket weaving business, we break down the real costs of building out a marketing engine from scratch.Jack unpacks the "buyer's trap": the dangerous assumption that adding marketing will instantly generate revenue. In reality, successful marketing requires time, capital, and deep strategic focus—and that investment often erodes the profit margins buyers were initially excited about. Instead of chasing fixer-uppers, Jack recommends targeting businesses with established marketing systems already in place. It's about buying stability, not a project.Whether you're just starting your acquisition journey or knee-deep in LOIs, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to grow through home service business acquisitions without overextending financially.

Most subscription box owners are focused on growing their subscriber count. And while getting new customers is exciting, it's not where sustainable growth comes from. If you want to build a thriving, profitable subscription business, there's one strategy you can't afford to ignore: retention. In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between chasing subscribers and keeping them — and why keeping them can make a bigger impact on your bottom line. From curating a subscriber experience that builds loyalty to planning and implementing a retention strategy that actually works, we'll walk through the key shifts that can help you reduce churn and grow your business more predictably. Acquiring new subscribers is 5–7 times more expensive than keeping the ones you already have. If new subscribers are simply replacing those who've canceled, you're not really growing — you're just treading water. How to Create an Experience, Not Just a BoxProducts bring people in. Experiences make them stay. I share how community, surprise & delight, and consistency can turn casual customers into long-term subscribers and loyal fans. Building Connection through CommunicationIf subscribers only hear from you when their box ships, they'll forget you. Learn how regular emails, engaging social content, and personal touches can keep your box top of mind and off the chopping block. Retention Doesn't Just Happen–You Need a PlanHigh retention isn't luck — it's strategy. I'll show you how to build a simple 90-day plan that keeps subscribers engaged and excited to stay with you month after month. Whether you're just starting out or are trying to scale an established subscription box, retention needs to be at the top of your list. Of course, you'll always work to attract new subscribers — but keeping the ones who already said yes? That's where your growth becomes sustainable.

If you're an entrepreneur (or want to be), you can't afford to keep posting and ghosting. You need to build a brand, grow a tribe, and make your message move people.And guess what? That all starts with you—your authenticity, your story, and how you show up online.I just got back from an EPIC private mastermind at my homie Garrett Gunderson's house in Salt Lake City— the New York Times bestselling author and founder of Wealth Factory. And let me tell ya, the viral secrets these powerhouse entrepreneurs dropped were pure gold.We laid it all out—from building real wealth to telling the truth online to making your content go viral (without a big team or big budget).So here's the download—straight from my mastermind notes—to help YOU Happy Hustle smarter, not harder.Segment 1: “Wealth Starts From Within” – Garrett GundersonLet's get real—wealth isn't just about stacking Benjamins.Garrett dropped this truth bomb: “Grow yourself before you grow your wealth.”So many entrepreneurs skip the meaning for the money. They chase outcomes, but forget the process. Garrett's concept?Life design is the foundation of sustainable wealth.Here's what hit home:Build your Human Life Value. Want more money? Add more value.Money is a reason, not the reason. Let that sink in.Design a meaningful life before you build your business model.Journal prompt: What does true wealth mean to YOU? (Seriously—try this.)Happy Hustle Hack:Don't build a business that drains your soul. Focus on impact, alignment, and fulfillment FIRST. That's the real flex. Segment 2: “Tell the Truth, Build the Tribe” – Sean WhalenIf you've seen Lions Not Sheep, you know Sean doesn't hold back.His strategy? Keep it 100% real.When I asked him, “How do you know what to share?”, he looked at me and said, “Everything.” Here's what I took away:Authenticity attracts. Share your scars and your journey.You'll be judged anyway, so share what's TRUE.Real > Polished. Activated energy > high production.Be polarizing. You're not pizza—you don't need to please everyone.Sean built a multimillion-dollar brand just speaking into his iPhone. No camera crew. No fancy edits. Just TRUTH.Over 1M garments sold, billions of views, and 51k+ coaching clients.Happy Hustle Hack:Challenge yourself—30 days of radical truth-telling on social. Reels, long-form posts, whatever. Build that trust. That's what creates traction.Segment 3: “Make a Movement, Not Just a Post” – Warren PhillipsWarren aka the Non-Toxic Dad is on a mission—literally. He's got 880k followers in 2 years, but it's not because of trends.It's because he's real, consistent, and deeply connected to his why.He shares 3 times a day, 6 days a week. But he didn't start there. He began with 3 posts a week. Progress, not perfection.Here's the sauce:Authenticity + Consistency = The Algorithm's Best Friend.First 5 seconds matter. Hook hard.Be relational, not transactional.Talk about what you LOVE. Share your quirks.Track your metrics, tweak what's not working.Educate. Entertain. Empower. (The 3 E's of content that hits.) Happy Hustle Hack:Batch your content. Plan on Sundays. Use your quirks, not just scripts. And remember: A thousand true fans can make you millions. As someone who's built the Happy Hustle movement—anti-grind, pro-life balance—I'm here to say:Stop trying to fit in. Start standing out by showing up as YOU.Whether it's podcasting, content creation, or just telling your story, your vibe will attract your tribe.Bonus tips from the mastermind:Humor increases memory retention by 3x. (Use it!)Text-message style headlines get clicks.Sell privately, give value publicly.One idea per video.Your content is your 2025 business card. Make it soulful, smart, and you.Entrepreneurship in 2025 isn't about chasing trends.It's about leading movements, being unapologetically YOU, and using social media to serve—not just sell.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors: If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

In the latest episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis continue their conversation with retail media expert Andrew Lipsman, founder and chief analyst at Media, Ads and Commerce, exploring the evolution and future of retail media networks.The episode kicks off with an in-depth news segment covering significant economic developments. The hosts discuss the recent GDP drop in the US, which they note is primarily driven by increased imports and inventory buildup as retailers front-loaded inventory ahead of tariff implementations. They analyze the recent disconnect between poor consumer confidence numbers and actual retail spending patterns. The hosts also examine tech company earnings, with most reporting strong results except for Apple, which is facing challenges related to tariffs and China exposure. Apple's response to tariffs—shifting manufacturing to India and Vietnam rather than the US—highlights unintended consequences of the trade policies. The news segment concludes with a discussion of Amazon's earnings and the surprising termination of Kohl's CEO Ashley Buchanan over an improper vendor relationship.In the interview segment with Andrew Lipsman, the conversation centers on the mechanics of successful retail media networks and future trends. Lipsman explains his concept of the "retail media flywheel," noting that when this flywheel takes off, it produces exponential rather than linear growth. He emphasizes that while Amazon pioneered this approach, other retailers can build their own flywheels tailored to their specific assets.A significant portion of the discussion addresses concerns about whether retail media might compromise customer experience. Lipsman acknowledges this concern but believes it can be managed with thoughtful execution and relevant advertising. He points to Trader Joe's as an interesting counterexample—a retailer explicitly rejecting retail media to focus on merchandising excellence.For retailers considering or developing retail media networks, Lipsman advises realistic expectations, particularly for mid-size and smaller players who may benefit more from joining aggregated networks rather than building walled gardens. He cautions that many retailers overvalue their first-party data and underestimate what's needed to monetize it effectively.Looking to the future, Lipsman predicts that while on-site search advertising will continue to drive significant revenue, the big growth opportunities lie in streaming TV advertising and in-store media. He estimates in-store advertising represents a potential $20-40 billion opportunity, noting that physical stores account for about 5% of all media time spent but currently capture only 0.1% of ad spending. While acknowledging implementation challenges, he points to successful examples outside the US, particularly in the UK and Asia, as evidence of the model's viability. YouTube episode Photo by Nathan Cima on Unsplash Here is a 10% off code for the CommerceNext Growth Show exclusive to Remarkable Retail listeners: REMARKABLE.

In our hustle-driven culture, the idea of intentionally slowing down might seem counterproductive. But what if the key to achieving your goals isn't about working harder, but working smarter? After years of coaching entrepreneurs and navigating my personal business journey, I've discovered a powerful truth: consistent, intentional action beats sporadic bursts of energy every time. Rushing doesn't get you to your destination faster—it often creates more obstacles.Think about building a business or pursuing a personal goal. When we try to skip steps or do everything at once, we spread ourselves thin and compromise quality. Instead, focus on one bridge at a time. Complete it fully before moving to the next project. The secret is creating margin in your life. Build white space into your schedule. Make decisions purposefully, not from a place of panic. Track your progress differently—maybe it's hours invested rather than immediate financial returns. Remember, personal growth can't be rushed. The roots grow first, often invisibly, laying the foundation for future success. Your current circumstances are the result of past actions, so trust the process.Slow down. Breathe. Progress intentionally.  Free Resources:Sign up for the FREE mini-course - Your Most Productive WeekFollow Amanda on Instagram
