Welcome back! Today, we’re reframing how you think about the time, money, and energy you’ve poured into yourself. You’ve been investing in your skills, your growth, and your mindset—and now it’s time to monetize that investment. In this episode, I’ll show you why your value has gone up and why your compensation needs to reflect the current you, not the old you. Let’s stop selling ourselves short and start commanding what we’re truly worth in the marketplace.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Your Investment = Increased Value: Understand how your time and financial investments in self-development directly increase the value you bring to the marketplace.
Stop Using the Old You as a Benchmark: Learn why basing your worth on past rates, skillsets, or confidence is holding you back—and how to break free from outdated benchmarks.
How to Command Higher Income: Get actionable strategies to assess your current value and ensure your pricing, salary, or rates reflect the new and improved you.
Why Confidence Matters: Discover how confidence, paired with your growing expertise, can unlock new levels of income and opportunity.
Reassess Your Value: Write down the skills, knowledge, and confidence you’ve gained in the last six months. Ask yourself, “Am I being compensated for the person I am today?”
Update Your Rates or Salary Expectations: If you’re an entrepreneur, raise your rates to reflect your new value. If you’re an employee, prepare to negotiate a raise or promotion.
Communicate Your Value: Practice articulating the value you bring to clients, employers, or partners. Be specific about how your skills and knowledge create results.
Invest Continuously: Keep leveling up! Set aside time and money each month for self-development—it pays dividends in both value and income.

Welcome back, friend! Today, we’re taking a walk down memory lane—yes, there’s a nod to Welcome Back, Kotter—but more importantly, we’re diving into a topic that’s been on my heart: creating spaces for real, honest collaboration and connection. I’m pulling back the curtain on Collaborate, the annual event we’ve hosted for the past three years. This isn’t your average conference. It’s not about the sizzle, the glam, or the Instagram-worthy moments. Collaborate is about deep, meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and growth—both personal and professional.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:The Magic of Collaborate: Discover what makes Collaborate a transformative experience. Hint: it’s not about the venue or the photo ops; it’s about the connections and the “magic” of real conversations.
Why Vulnerability is a Game-Changer: Learn how being open and honest can unlock growth in both life and business. April shares how vulnerability—once a “hard pass” for her—has become a cornerstone of meaningful leadership and collaboration.
Overcoming Limiting Narratives: Hear powerful stories of attendees who faced their fears—like accents, self-doubt, or past failures—and how the community turned those perceived weaknesses into strengths.
The Power of Me Too: Understand the profound impact of shared struggles and how hearing “me too” can dissolve shame and inspire action.
Building a 3-Year Vision: Explore how the event integrates personal growth with actionable strategies to help attendees design a vision for their life and business.
For Business Owners: It’s not just about growing revenue but about growing yourself so you can scale sustainably without losing what matters most.
For Leaders and Teams: Collaborate provides a blueprint for creating spaces where vulnerability is a strength, not a liability.
For Everyone Feeling Stuck: Whether it’s self-doubt, burnout, or fear of failure, Collaborate helps uncover the narratives holding you back and replaces them with strength and support.

In this transformative episode of PivotMe, April dives deep into a powerful concept that separates high achievers from the rest: the pursuit of 10x opportunities. April discusses why aiming for 10x growth—versus incremental 2x improvement—has the potential to revolutionize your life and business. If you’re ready to focus on high-impact actions, make bold decisions, and move forward with purpose, this episode will guide you through the process. Learn to distinguish between 10x and 2x opportunities, practice "planned neglect" of small tasks, and balance your drive with sustainable habits.
What You Will Learn in This Episode:The Power of 10x Growth vs. Incremental 2x Change: Understand why aiming for exponential impact is more transformative than simply improving on what you’re already doing. Learn to shift your mindset to focus on 10x goals that create significant, long-term change.
Identifying 10x vs. 2x Opportunities: April guides you in creating two lists—10x and 2x opportunities. Discover how to recognize and prioritize the high-stakes tasks that drive true growth, while minimizing smaller, less impactful tasks.
Practicing ‘Planned Neglect’ for Focused Success: Learn the concept of planned neglect: choosing what to consciously let go of to fully pursue your highest priorities. April shares stories of how saying “no” can create the space needed for substantial gains.
April concludes the episode by encouraging listeners to embrace the challenge of choosing high-impact growth over smaller wins. By practicing planned neglect and prioritizing 10x opportunities, you create the space for transformation. Don’t just seek perfection—seek progress. Start today by identifying your own 10x opportunities and taking that first step toward substantial growth.

In today’s episode, April delves into a powerful concept from Jim Collins' book Built to Last—The Genius of the AND, Not the Tyranny of the OR. This mindset encourages us to reject limiting beliefs that force us to choose between two seemingly conflicting options. Instead, we are challenged to find ways to integrate both. Whether it's balancing work and family, professional growth and personal health, or pursuing success without compromising values, this episode is all about finding harmony between priorities.
Key Points:
The Genius of the AND Explained: April introduces the idea of embracing the AND, allowing both choices to coexist. She refers to Jim Collins' quote: "Builders of greatness reject the tyranny of the OR and embrace the genius of the AND." April explains how this principle applies not only to business but to our personal lives, too.
Examples of the Tyranny of the OR: April shares examples where people feel trapped in making exclusive decisions:
Personal Story of Breaking the OR Mentality: April recounts her own experience of being stuck in the mindset that she could either scale her business or be a present parent. She describes how she shifted her thinking to embrace the AND, finding ways to do both.
Client Story – Kyle's Struggle: April shares a story of her client Kyle, a business owner who believed he couldn't scale his business and be a good father at the same time. This belief stemmed from past trauma when working a corporate job, where he constantly felt like he was failing both as an employee and as a parent. By helping Kyle identify the fear behind his resistance to scaling, April was able to show him how it’s possible to grow his business and still be present for his son.
Asking the Right Questions: April emphasizes the importance of asking yourself: "What would need to be true for me to do both?" This question helps to dismantle the OR mentality and opens up possibilities for integrating both goals.
Reclaiming Power by Living in the AND: By choosing to live in the AND, we take control of our lives and stop running from our fears. We can design our lives in ways that allow us to have both, whether it’s business success AND family time, health AND career growth, or any other combination that feels impossible.
April wraps up the episode by challenging listeners to identify where they are stuck in the tyranny of the OR and to start asking the hard question: "What would need to be true for me to have BOTH?" Living in the AND isn’t just a business principle—it’s a life principle. By adopting this mindset, we reclaim our power and design lives that are aligned with our biggest dreams and goals.

In today’s episode, April challenges listeners to rethink their approach to life’s most daunting challenges by asking one powerful question: “What would have to be true for this to be simple?” Whether you’re struggling with debt, overwhelmed by work projects, or feeling stuck in your business, this episode teaches you how to break down seemingly insurmountable tasks and find a clearer path forward. Simplicity isn’t always easy, but it's often the key to unlocking your next move.
Key Points:Reframing Your Challenges: April discusses how asking “What would have to be true for this to be simple?” can instantly shift your mindset from overwhelmed to empowered.
Debt Reframe Example: April shares a story about a business owner buried in $400,000 of debt. By focusing on his most profitable service, they turned a massive debt problem into a clear sales goal.
Stop Overcomplicating Your Life: We often make problems harder than they need to be. April emphasizes that we can simplify challenges by focusing on the core tasks that make the biggest impact. Don't confuse "simple" with "easy."
Tackling Beliefs that Complicate Solutions: Many of our challenges aren’t hard because they are objectively difficult but because our beliefs complicate them. April discusses how beliefs can keep us stuck in unnecessary complexity, and how adopting new, empowering beliefs can make things simple.
Practical Examples: April shares actionable stories, like how knowing the right person can simplify a big opportunity or how focusing on one service can pay off large debt.
Life is full of challenges that seem complex, but more often than not, the solutions are simple if we change the way we think about them. April encourages listeners to ask themselves, “What would have to be true for this to be simple?” as a tool to unlock creative solutions, reduce stress, and make meaningful progress in their lives. Simplicity is not always easy, but it is always within reach if you're willing to reframe your approach.

Are you getting sidetracked by easier goals that don’t lead to your long-term vision? It’s not that you lack motivation—it’s that there’s often a clearer path to a lesser goal. In this episode, April dives into how we can stay focused on our big goals and not get distracted by the more convenient, but less impactful, tasks that pop up every day. Learn how to establish your “One Move” that aligns with your 3-year vision and make sure that’s where your effort goes.
Key Points:Don’t let a clearer path to a lesser goal derail your 3-year vision. Motivation isn’t the issue; it’s about focusing on the right goals. Identify your One Move and make sure your daily actions align with your future self. Avoid the trap of small, easy wins that pull you off course. Recommit to the big goals, and create habits that support them.

Feeling overwhelmed and busy is a common challenge for many of us, especially when juggling multiple projects and commitments. In this episode of PivotMe, April introduces three powerful decision filters that can help you ruthlessly prioritize your tasks and regain control of your time. It’s not about getting more done faster; it’s about getting the right things done faster. By using these decision filters, you’ll be able to identify which tasks truly need your attention and which can be delegated, delayed, or dropped altogether.
Key Points:
Overwhelm and busyness are often the result of tackling too many unnecessary tasks. By using these three decision filters daily, you can better prioritize your to-do list, delegate when possible, and focus on opportunities that will have the most impact. Remember, productivity isn’t just about doing things faster—it’s about doing the right things faster. Implement these decision filters to reclaim your time and power.
