#97: A Launch Debrief Is a Gift to Your Future Self
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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

💭 [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."
