In this episode, Pualena shares why investing in a high-end website or brand package too early in your business journey can backfire. She explains that many entrepreneurs rush to spend money on design before they've truly validated their offer, leading to wasted resources and unmet expectations. Through her own experience and real client stories, she highlights the importance of having a proven product or service before investing in anything beyond the basics.
She walks listeners through an 8-step framework that prioritizes testing, feedback, and refinement over assumptions. Whether you're offering a service, launching a course, or building software, your focus should be on creating a minimum viable product (MVP), getting real-world feedback, and proving your ability to deliver consistent results. A beautiful website may impress at first glance, but it won’t convert if your foundation isn’t solid.
For those in the growth phase, Pualena offers a reality check: Are you truly ready to scale, or are you hoping a polished website will solve deeper gaps in your business? She encourages listeners to know their numbers, understand their audience, and confidently stand behind their offer before making a big investment. Whether you're ready now or just getting there, this episode is packed with insights to help you build intentionally and avoid costly missteps.
