  • Should You Kill a Product That Still Makes Money?
    Feb 19 2026

    Talk To Us Directly

    You have products or services that still bring in revenue—but they may no longer match where you’re headed. In this episode, we explore how to make the hard call between steady income and clear direction, including how legacy offers can dilute your funnel, confuse your market, and anchor your positioning to who you used to be.

    You’ll hear practical ways to decide whether to keep, refresh, update, or retire older books, courses, and content based on industry speed of change, relevance, and actual sales performance—plus why sometimes the market is telling you it’s time to move on. You’ll also learn why archiving matters (even when you stop selling something), and how to store old assets safely so you can revisit them later.

    The episode wraps with resources to help you turn your expertise into a book and to clarify your message so your marketing works better.
