I got into a heated debate recently. 

A dear friend and I were having a back-and-forth discussion about what the key ingredient is that successful entrepreneurs have. 

She argued it was a positive mindset and I argued it is belief in oneself. 

While mindset is important, if you don’t think what you want to accomplish is possible you’re dead in the water.

That’s why I pulled out this top downloaded episode of the Breadwinning Business podcast. It’s all about how to believe in yourself and your business. 

Take a listen today or while you are traveling in planes, trains, and automobiles during the holidays. 

It’s a message you need to hear before 2025 starts. 

Then DM me on Instagram @jamilapayneMBA and let me know what you think.

Are you team positive thinking or self-belief?

Sending good vibes your way.

Happy Holidays!

Tell me if this sounds familiar: You start the year full of big dreams and a long list of goals.

By March, you’re already off track, and by October, you’re panic-squeezing every undone task into the last two months of the year.

Been there? Same here.

Until I discovered the magic of 90-day goals.

This week on the Breadwinning Business Women podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the ONE goal setting system that’s helped me double my revenue, grow my team, and—get this—take more time off without guilt.

Here’s what we’re covering:

🎄The secret sauce behind why 90 days works better than yearly goals.

🎄How to balance business goals and personal priorities without feeling like you’re juggling flaming swords.

🎄The #1 mistake most business owners make when setting goals (and how you can avoid it).

🎄A mindset shift that will help you focus on doing less—but achieving more.

Trust me, this episode is going to help make your 2025 goals happen. Whether your business is crushing it already or feeling like you’re barely holding it together, this simple shift can transform how you show up for your business and your life.

Let’s make those goals happen!

Let’s be real—networking can feel...awkward. Like, “What do I even say without sounding desperate, pushy, or boring?”

If you’ve ever walked into a networking event, scanned the room, and thought, “Maybe I’ll just hide by the hors d'oeuvres table,” this email is for you.

Here’s the deal: Networking doesn’t have to feel forced or overwhelming. And it’s not about collecting 100 business cards you’ll never use. 

It’s about building real connections—the kind that actually move the needle in your business.

Many entrepreneurs struggle with networking because they’re either talking to the wrong people (read: not your ideal clients or collaborators) or don’t have a game plan going in. 

You’re juggling visibility fears, time constraints, and let’s face it, wondering if all this schmoozing will even pay off.

That’s why in the latest episode of the Breadwinning Business Women podcast, I’m breaking down The BEST Networking Secrets to Grow Your Business.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

✨ How to find the RIGHT events (no more wasting time networking with people who can’t afford your services). ✨ How to make connections that count—think clients, collaborators, and referral partners. ✨ The secret to following up without being “salesy” (and why this is where the magic really happens).

It’s like having me in your ear, hyping you up, and giving you the exact steps to turn awkward handshakes into meaningful opportunities.

So, what do you say? Hit play on the episode right here. Your next big breakthrough might just be one introduction away.

Oh, and before I go—I’ve got more good news. I just relaunched my YouTube channel! 

The first three videos are live, and they’re packed with tips to help you scale your business without burnout. Make sure to subscribe and catch all the goodness.

Let’s go get those connections!

You’ve worked hard, made sacrifices, and built a life you’re proud of—but deep down, you know there’s more. More impact to make. More money to earn. More freedom to create.

Yet, every time you think about taking your business to the next level, those nagging self-doubts creep in:

“Do I have the energy for this?” “Is it too late to go after my big dreams?” “What if I try and still don’t get the results I want?”

Sound familiar?

Let me tell you this: Your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond are not a roadblock—they’re your secret weapon. 

You’ve got the wisdom, experience, and resilience younger entrepreneurs wish they had. Now it’s time to create the success that you deserve.

This week on the Breadwinning Business Women podcast, I’m sharing exactly what it takes to build a thriving business after 40.

Here’s a sneak peek of what I cover:

✨The #1 reason your business isn’t growing—and how to fix it.

✨Why “free marketing” is slowing you down and what to do instead.

✨The secret weapon most successful women swear by (hint: it’s not another online course).

✨How to ask for money with zero guilt and all the confidence.

Plus, I’ve got exciting news: I just relaunched my YouTube channel! 🎥 Get ready for 2-3 videos a week packed with strategies, inspiration, and real talk to help you create the business and life you’ve always wanted. I share more details on the podcast.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you’re enjoying the day with your family and loved ones. If you’re traveling this week, I’ve got a great episode for you to check out on your journey.

This week’s podcast is all about something I know you’ve felt: the constant pull of busyness.

For too many women entrepreneurs, we’ve been wearing the never-ending to-do list like it’s a busy badge of honor. 

But here’s the truth: being busy isn’t the same as being productive.

The busyness trap is real. It keeps you stuck, overwhelmed, and spinning your wheels on tasks that don’t move the needle in your business.

You deserve better.

That’s why this episode is all about helping you reclaim your time and focus on what really matters.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✨ Why busyness has become a status symbol—and how it’s holding you back.

✨ The hidden traps stealing your time and energy every day.

✨ The mindset shift that will help you focus on high-value activities.

✨ How to create calm, confident moves to grow your business without burnout.

If you’re ready to step into your role as a Breadwinning CEO, this episode is for you.

Let’s make this holiday season the moment you break free from the spirit of busyness and start building the business—and life—you really want.

I know running a business isn’t always easy. You want to grow, serve more clients, and make a bigger impact—but there’s one thing standing in the way.

The uncomfortable work.

I get it. Sending the follow-up email, raising your prices, or even setting boundaries can feel downright scary. But avoiding these things keeps you stuck, frustrated, and far from your goals.

That’s why this week’s Breadwinning Business Women podcast is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to tackle the tasks that make you squirm and turn them into stepping stones to your success.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✨Why discomfort is the secret ingredient to scaling to six and seven figures.

✨How to identify the tasks that are holding you back and finally face them.

✨The simple strategies I use to conquer fear and take action—even when it’s hard.

It’s time to stop letting discomfort be the boss of you.

This is the work that will set you apart. Let’s do it together.
