About this episode

Welcome back to the Product Boss Podcast! Today, it's just Minna taking the reins, co-founder and co-host of our beloved podcast. Our mission here at The Product Boss is to help product-based businesses like yours to garner more attention, streamline your systems, and boost your sales, paving the way for you to live your dream life.

Today's episode is all about a special exercise – The Rose, The Bud, The Thorn – an exercise that we, together with our Masterminders, delve into during this time of the year. The middle of the year is perfect for this audit-like activity, a thorough check-in, an occasion for reflection and alignment, especially considering how the first half of 2023 has been for you and how you envision proceeding.

The Rose, The Bud, The Thorn is not just another exercise but a tool for mental structuring, a guide to understanding where you are in your journey and plotting your course forward. We have a comprehensive workbook for our Masterminders, and while they enjoy complete access to it, we believe this episode will impart insights and takeaways that will benefit everyone.

Get your pen and paper ready and prepare to engage in a meaningful mid-year check-in. It's time to pause, reflect on your current situation, and visualize where you intend to steer your business in the coming months. Let's dive in and embrace this time for reflection and strategizing – your future self will thank you!
