#97: A Launch Debrief Is a Gift to Your Future Self

I ran two big sales last year. One of them I can tell you everything about, but the other one just takes up space in my head labeled, "that didn't go great," and I couldn't tell you any reason why! So today I'll share why that difference actually matters, and how I recommend that you should be debriefing your sales.As I planned this year’s birthday sale, I realised how much easier it is to make confident decisions when I’ve taken the time to properly debrief a launch. One sale left me with detailed notes, clear lessons, and real data to work from. The other left me with nothing but a vague feeling that it hadn’t gone well. That difference turned out to be far more important than I expected.In this episode, I’m sharing why debriefing is one of the most valuable gifts you can give your future self, how to separate facts from feelings when reviewing your results, and some simple ways to make the process easier so you can improve your launches without relying on guesswork. 🎧 Tune in to hear:  Why vague launch memories aren't enough  Facts first, feelings second  Common reasons we avoid debriefing  Using AI to support launch reviews  Creating a debrief system you'll actually use💭 [00:40] "I tell everyone to debrief every sale, every launch that they run, every event that they run."💭 [04:30] "It's not fully done until you debrief it. Because the debrief is really important for your future launches. The debrief may not matter to the launch that you have just completed, but it will really matter when you make decisions about launches going forward."💭 [09:23] "The thing that you must not skip is actually saving this debrief somewhere proper."🔗 Links Mentioned:Get on the birthday sale waitlistJoin the Soulful Sales Society (debrief template + AI bot)Wispr Flow (my affiliate link)Listen to the connectors episode⭐️ Jul 27: Free Workshop - The Claude Marketing Roadmap for Heart-Led Online Offer CreatorsReach more people & make more sales, with the hours & energy you actually have.I'll share the exact Claude setup that's made me over $15k while running my business on low energy, & where to start.
