MOTM #690: Realistic Expectations for Online Business

November 10, 2025

The Boss Babes and the Brochachos of the online business space just keep spewing bullshit about what it takes to succeed, and I can’t sit idly by and let people think they’re telling the truth. There are people who would treat online business like a pyramid scheme, but there is a better way—a way that doesn’t involve scamming or lying to people, and selling a path to “success” that isn’t real. I want every single one of us to succeed, and I also am committed to being honest about what it looks like on the back end of online business which means setting realistic expectations. That way, you won’t quit before you can even get going.

Let’s chat.

Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, and build a life that they love. I'm your host, Dr. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, and I’m stoked to have you here. I hope this podcast inspires you to make moves and do the thing. Action is the answer.

In This Episode You'll Hear:
  • It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
  • A better way starts with transparency
  • Not everyone who plays will win
  • Don’t burn the ships
  • Wait to create
  • No one is above the conversion rates
