682. What We’re Getting Wrong About Customers (And What to Do Instead)

Are you building your product-based business around what you want—or what your customers truly need? In this episode, I uncover one of the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make: creating products and marketing strategies without truly understanding the customer on a deeper level. If your sales feel slow, your messaging isn’t landing, or you’re feeling stuck in what to make next, this episode might just be your turning point. I’ll walk you through a powerful shift: from product-centered to customer-centered thinking. From vague customer avatars to assumptions about who your buyer is, we’re breaking those patterns and diving into what really matters—your customer's needs, wants, desires, and even their secret “mmm” moments. Whether you’re selling candles, cookies, or skin cream, this episode helps you think like your customer and build a brand they can’t stop talking about. Plus, I’ll share my 3-part Customer-Centered Blueprint—insight (not assumption), product development with the customer in mind, and marketing that mirrors back what your customers truly care about. You’ll also get real-life examples, mindset shifts, and action steps to start applying this TODAY. Ready to make your marketing easier and your business grow faster? Let’s get to work!
