Merry Christmas 2021 – a message from Vicki

Vicki Weinberg: 00:00:08

Welcome to the, Bring Your Product Ideas To Life podcast, practical advice, and inspiration to help you create and sell your own physical products. Here's your host Vicki Weinberg. Hi, thank you so much for being here. If you're listening in real time, then it's Christmas Eve today. It's not actually Christmas Eve today because that's not when I'm recording this. I'm recording this a few weeks out because I've decided that December's probably going to be a super busy time of year. And I wanted to make sure I had all my episodes ready to go so that you didn't miss out. So it's Christmas Eve today, as in the day, this episode's released and I have decided not to do a regular episode. So far, I released 92 episodes without a break um, that's been quite challenging actually, because we've had periods of lockdown actually. Episode, one of this podcast was came out the first week of the first UK lockdown back in March, 2020. Um, didn't plan for that. And then we had a big period of homeschooling in fact, for two periods of homeschooling. And also there's been some really fun things that have happened over the past. Um, what is it now? Gosh, 21 months, I think, um, I think good things as well, like holidays and time away. Um, and throughout that time, I've always produced a weekly episode. Um, it, we're almost at the end of 2021 now, and I'm taking a bit of a break to rest and recharge, hence me recording this quite a bit in advance. So there is going to be no regular episode this week. So this is just me coming in to give you an update and there will also be no episode next week on New Year's Eve. Um, I really hope that you have more exciting things to do than listening to me anyway. Um, and that you won't mind me taking a bit of time out. Yeah. So we have lots of great episodes already recorded and ready to go. The last couple of weeks, I've been doing lots of amazing interviews, um, to make sure we've got loads of good episodes ready for 2022. So I'm going to be back on the 7th of January and that's going to be another solo episode from me. And then after that, we have episodes coming up, talking about accounting for small businesses. We have advice on making your products more inclusive, as well as interviews with other small product businesses. So please do subscribe if you haven't already. So you don't miss out on anything that's coming up. Don't forget our community over this time, the Product Creators Club is my free Facebook group. It will remain active. I might be in there a little bit less than usual, but I promise I will be there. Um, if you've been there, whether you know that I am in there every day, I do turn up. Um, so join us there.

So if you've joined this podcast a bit later, maybe this is one of the first episodes you're listening to I hope it's not the very first, but if it's one of the first ones, um, then do, go back and have a lesson as I've had some amazing interviews, too many actually to pick out. Um, so I have a scroll through, see what appeals to you and have a listen. Do also let me know who or what topics you'd like me to cover in 2022. So you can email me vicki@vickiweinberg.com.
