In this episode, Jill dives into the question, "How bold should you be on social media?" and makes a strong case that the future of online business is rooted in personal branding and authenticity. She explores why many creators hold back—fear of losing followers, getting judged, or facing haters—and explains how vulnerability, honest storytelling, and even a little edge can massively increase connection, reach, and sales. There's an audience for every personality, and the posts that feel the scariest to share are often the ones that perform best. Instead of trying to stay "safe" or vanilla, try sharing real stories, hot takes, and unpopular opinions in a way that still feels true to you.

So many coaches get stuck in that frustrating $1K–$5K per month range, but they want to make more. You're doing the work, posting consistently, maybe you've even launched a few offers, but the growth just isn't compounding yet. In this episode, Jill breaks down exactly what's keeping you stuck and how to move past it, including the four "toggles" you can flip in your business to finally start scaling. Because if nothing changes, nothing changes—and scaling requires action, not waiting for the algorithm or the market to save you.

Before you go all-in on another online platform for your business, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. Yes, diversifying your social media use can increase your reach, but all algorithms aren't created equal. Different types of people spend their time on different types of platforms, so before you branch out, you'll need to ask yourself where your ideal clients might be hanging out. It's also important to get consistent before adding new tasks to your to-do list and realizing that different platforms will require bespoke content creation strategies.

Do you fight for your limitations without realizing it? More often than not, the only thing holding us back from success is ourselves. If you want to grow, you have to challenge your negative beliefs and own the fact that you have real potential for success. There is no meaningful difference between someone who is successful at what you want to be doing and yourself—successful people just take action, despite their fears and self-doubt.

If you want to build a massive business, that requires massive levels of discernment and a commitment to setting and enforcing boundaries with your clients. Jill learned a few lessons from client interactions as she began her business, so she can highlight the key boundaries that coaches should implement to ensure client fairness and maintain a healthy work-life balance. If you have no boundaries, you won't have the time or energy required to build a hugely successful business.
