As a business owner for the last six years, I've become obsessed with hearing behind-the-scenes recaps of yearly reviews. I find it so fascinating to listen to these vulnerable and transparent episodes.
There's something so humbling listening to business owners speak about their plans, what worked and what didn't work. It makes me feel more...human. Because let's be honest the highlight reel that is social media can really play with your mind sometimes.

Setting Intentions in 2022
BY MICHELLE KNIGHT
As we prepare for the new year, organize our calendars, grab a planner and think about where we want to be at the end of 2022, there's one thing I want you to know.
Your intentions are everything.
I often find that changing the way I speak about certain things impacts how I approach them. So a few years ago I moved away from setting goals and started setting intentions. This practice has helped me completely transform my life and every year, since starting my business in 2016, make more revenue.
It might seem simple, but the impact is massive and in episode 28 of The Brandmerry Podcast, I'm sharing this process with you.
Today's episode is a repurposed episode from the beginning of 2021, but the information is just as relevant now as it was then.
I know you're going to get so much from this episode and no better time than now as we plan for the year ahead, something I hope you've carved out time for over the next week.

Storytelling, as a business owner, is one of the most powerful tools we have.
It allows us to connect with our audience on a deeper level.

The Truth About Running an Online Business - is It Really Supposed to be Easy in 2022?
BY MICHELLE KNIGHT
Has it ever felt like everyone around you is having such an easy time building their business and you can't seem to find the exit off the struggle bus?
You keep seeing all of these coaches and mentors talking about how easy it is to hit $10k months, and how clients miraculously find them and you're sitting there questing why that doesn't seem to be happening to you?
Well, you're definitely not alone in these feelings, BUT the good news is...a lot of that messaging online is a load of crap and it's becoming quite toxic to online business owners and entrepreneurs especially those just starting out.
So it brings up the question, "Should running an online business be easy?" and I'm answering that question today on The Brandmerry Podcast in episode 26.
Tune in now to hear:
The truth about running an online business and if it should be easy, hard, or somewhere in between.
How to break through the b.s. online and finally feel confident in the actions you're taking, even if right now they're not yielding crazy results.
If hustling as an entrepreneur is really as bad as they say or if it's kind of necessary.
