Behind the Scenes of My Business Part Two
Feb 10, 2026
If you're navigating change in your business or career, this episode offers practical lessons from the trenches.
In Part 2 of her Behind the Scenes series, Camille dives deep into what's happening inside Remote Work School™ and her broader business strategy for 2026. This isn't a polished highlight reel—it's an honest, transparent look at decision-making, prioritization, and staying focused when everything feels important.
She shares candid updates on the Remote Not Retired Club beta, how AI is transforming both her business operations and student outcomes and reveals the "one domino" concept—finding that single action that moves everything else forward.
Whether you're building a business, pivoting careers, or simply trying to figure out your next move, this episode offers clarity on how to take action even when the picture isn't fully clear. It's a masterclass in making progress while life feels messy.
Behind-the-Scenes Insights:
This episode offers a rare glimpse into the real dynamics of running an online education business. Camille discusses the practical realities of managing a small team, making strategic decisions with limited resources, and staying focused on long-term vision while handling day-to-day operations.
You'll hear about the tension between wanting to improve everything at once and recognizing that sustainable growth requires sequential focus. She shares lessons learned from building out programs too quickly, the importance of testing with real users before scaling, and why feedback loops matter more than she initially realized.
The conversation also touches on the emotional side of entrepreneurship—managing self-doubt, dealing with comparison in a crowded market, and maintaining confidence when results don't come as quickly as hoped. Camille's transparency about these challenges makes this episode both relatable and reassuring.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
- Why marketing and visibility are the 2026 focus (after years of product and program development)—and why now is the right time for this shift
- How the Remote Not Retired Club beta is evolving based on real member feedback, including what's working and what's being adjusted
- The role AI is playing in business operations and student support—practical examples of AI implementation that creates leverage without losing the human touch
- What "finding your one domino" means—and the exact framework Camille uses to identify which action will knock down multiple other challenges
- Why tracking matters more than you think—and the truth about where Camille has struggled with measurement (and how she's improving)
- The difference between moving forward with a fuzzy picture vs. waiting for perfect clarity—and why the former is often the smarter choice
- How to be kind to yourself during chaos—practical strategies for maintaining momentum when life throws you curveballs
Who This Episode Is For:
- Business owners trying to figure out where to focus next—especially if you feel pulled in multiple directions and struggle to prioritize
- Anyone feeling overwhelmed by too many priorities—and looking for a framework to cut through the noise
- People navigating career transitions while life feels chaotic—moving, family changes, health challenges, or other disruptions happening simultaneously
- Solo entrepreneurs or small team leaders—managing a business without a massive team or unlimited resources
- Those curious about practical AI implementation (not just theory)—real examples from someone actually using these tools daily
- Anyone who needs permission to move forward without having it all figured out—embracing progress over perfection
- Mid-career professionals building something new—not fresh out of college, bringing experience and perspective to their next chapter
- Anyone in a "messy season" of life or business—struggling to maintain momentum when circumstances aren't ideal
Key Takeaways:
On Finding Your One Domino:
Camille explains how she identified marketing visibility as her "one domino"—the action that will knock down multiple other challenges. She walks through the exact process she uses to identify this critical lever, including how to distinguish between tasks that keep you busy and tasks that create real momentum. This concept helps cut through overwhelm and focus energy where it matters most, especially when you're feeling pulled in ten different directions.
On AI Implementation:
AI isn't just a tool for students—it's transforming how Camille runs her entire business. From content creation and customer support to program delivery and community management, she shares specific, practical examples of how AI is creating leverage without losing the human touch. You'll hear about what's working, what hasn't worked, and how she's thinking about AI as an amplifier of human expertise rather than a replacement for it.
On Being Kind to Yourself:
With recent personal disruptions (selling her home unexpectedly, moving, navigating temporary nomadic living), Camille reminds listeners that progress doesn't require perfection. She gets real about the challenges of trying to maintain business momentum while life feels chaotic and shares practical strategies for self-compassion that don't mean lowering your standards. Sometimes "good enough" is exactly what you need to keep moving forward—and that's not settling, it's strategic.
On Remote Work School™ Evolution:
The program continues to adapt based on real-world feedback from actual members going through the process. Camille shares behind-the-scenes details on what's being tested right now, what's working better than expected, and where adjustments are being made. You'll learn about the shift toward a more flexible, action-first approach that's helping members get results faster—and how that challenges the traditional "linear learning path" model that most online programs follow.
On Marketing Strategy Shifts:
After spending years building a solid product foundation, Camille is now focusing intensely on visibility and marketing. She explains why this sequencing matters, how she's approaching content creation differently in 2026, and why she's prioritizing showing up consistently even when it's not perfect. This isn't about vanity metrics—it's about reaching more people who genuinely need what she offers.
On the Remote Not Retired Club Beta:
Camille pulls back the curtain on her newest program in beta testing. She shares what prompted its creation, how it's different from the main Remote Work School™ program, and what early members are experiencing. You'll hear about the community dynamics, the feedback loop, and how she's using this beta period to refine the offering before a broader launch.
On Tracking and Measurement:
In a refreshingly honest moment, Camille admits she's historically struggled with tracking and measuring the right things. She explains why this matters more than she initially realized, shares what she's doing differently now, and offers practical advice for others who resist data and metrics. This isn't about becoming data-obsessed—it's about having enough information to make smart decisions.
What's Next:
This is part of an ongoing behind-the-scenes series where Camille commits to sharing lessons, experiments, and real-time updates as they unfold—not after everything is perfect.
If you're someone who appreciates learning from others' real experiences (wins and challenges) rather than polished case studies, this series is for you. Camille is documenting the journey in real-time, which means you're getting insights you can apply to your own situation right now.
