My 2024 FAILS

2024 was a year of experimentation, learning, and some major fails for me—and I’m sharing it all in this episode. From passive income experiments that flopped to humbling moments in podcasting and Instagram strategy, I’m peeling back the curtain on what didn’t work and the lessons I’m taking into 2025.

If you’ve ever felt like things should be working in your business but they’re not, this episode will remind you that failure is part of the journey—and often leads to the best insights for success. Listen to the full episode Here’s What You’ll Learn:
  • 00:00:30 Why failure is often the first step to discovering what truly works in business.
  • 00:02:00 What went wrong with my podcast downloads in 2024—and why I’m doubling down on strategy this year.
  • 00:08:15 The truth about passive income: my failed Etsy store and digital products experiment.
  • 00:14:30 My struggles with Instagram growth, why I don’t care as much, and my simplified strategy for 2025.
  • 00:20:00 Why my course Launch Easy Life didn’t meet my expectations—and how I’m leaning into my mastermind instead.
  • 00:27:00 The indecision around my legacy business, RobinBirkin.com, and why I need to finally close this chapter.
  • 00:31:00 How failing at exercise impacted my energy—and how I plan to make wellness a priority in 2025.
From podcasting to Instagram to experimenting with passive income, 2024 was filled with lessons that only came through trying—and failing. In this episode, I reflect on the changes I’m making to create a more aligned, peaceful, and profitable 2025.
