  • FBU 576: How To Get Out Of "Stuck" Mode + Finally Start Your Business

    If you're waiting for the "right moment" to start your online business, you're already overthinking it. Just like we see in health and fitness coaching, online business hopefuls are applying "all or nothing" thinking to entrepreneurship, making it far bigger and more complicated in their heads than it needs to be. Starting a business is actually simple—it just requires posting content on the internet—but the anxiety around perfection, credibility, and fear of failure keeps people stuck. You're better off taking small, low-stakes actions rather than waiting for the perfect moment or treating business launch like a grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony. You don't have to take it all so personally. Instead, focus on consistent small steps, and you'll be running an online business before you even know it.

  • FBU 575: The Online Coaching Triad: 3 Things to Master to Build a Successful Online Biz

    There are three essential skill sets required to build a successful and sustainable online coaching business: subject matter expertise, coaching skills, and business skills, or what Jill calls the Online Coaching Triad. Business growth, like any skill, requires repetition, exposure, and a willingness to be bad before getting better. You don't need advanced degrees or decades of experience to get started, but you do need the ability to help someone solve a problem, coach real humans through change, and learn the fundamentals of running a business.

  • FBU 574: How Online Business is Changing in 2026, But Also How It's Not

    When it comes to online business, there are your need-to-know fundamentals, aka the nuts and bolts, and there are the additions you get to make after you become a master, aka the bells and whistles. While platforms, attention spans, delivery methods, AI, and content formats continue to evolve, the core foundations of a successful online coaching business remain timeless: building community and trust, niching down to solve a specific problem, creating offers people genuinely want, selling in a way that creates safety and confidence, and delivering great results as a coach. No matter how trendy the space becomes, you can't skip these fundamentals. And above all, relationships—not algorithms, ads, or AI—are what create long-term, anti-fragile businesses.

  • FBU 573: Are You Acting like a Creator or a Consumer?

    If you want to be a successful online business owner, there's a vital shift you need to make: you must move from consumer to creator. Most people start as consumers—scrolling, reacting, signing up for other people's offers—but building an online coaching business requires stepping into leadership, prioritizing creation over consumption, and being willing to go first. Today, Jill walks through the tangible behaviors that separate creators from consumers, including setting boundaries, focusing on big needle-moving work, creating before consuming, and working on the business instead of constantly working in it. It's both a mindset shift and a practical self-audit for anyone who wants to stop waiting, stop reacting, and start fully owning their role as a creator and business owner.

  • FBU 572: Overcoming Impostor Syndrome with Risk, Action + Reps

    Waiting to start your business until you "feel confident first" is a losing game. In this episode, Jill breaks down what imposter syndrome actually is and how to move through it without waiting to "feel ready." She explains why confidence and competence are area-specific, why comparing yourself to established online businesses is a trap, and how everyone starts with zero followers, zero clients, and zero reps. Imposter syndrome isn't a sign you're doing something wrong—it's a sign you're doing something new. The only real way to overcome it is through action, evidence, and reps. Rather than relying on affirmations, journaling, or consuming more content, try taking small, uncomfortable actions, trusting positive feedback, and build proof through experience.

  • FBU 571: Do You Have Fear of Visibility? How To Show Up Big Online

    Today, Jill digs into one of the most overlooked barriers to building an online coaching business: the fear of visibility, explaining how negativity bias, fear of accountability, and fear of vulnerability keep so many people stuck on the sidelines. She breaks down why visibility is the gateway to both impact and income, why you don't need to be "ready for everything" before you start posting, and how confidence and self-trust are built through reps, not perfection. From handling trolls and criticism to trusting your own experience and expertise, Jill shows listeners that you can't have growth, followers, or revenue without being seen, and that the only way to get comfortable with visibility is to start, learn on the fly, and let yourself be fortified by the process.

  • FBU 570: "Ins" and "Outs" for Online Business in 2026

    This is the easiest and most exciting time ever to start an online business thanks to low barriers to entry and a massive shift toward authenticity, relatability, and personal branding. In this episode, Jill breaks down what's "in" and what's "out" for online coaching and content in 2026. She calls out what's no longer working—guru culture, inaccessible coaches, overly polished content, vague vanilla messaging, massive A-to-Z courses, cold DMs, and obvious AI copy—and contrasts it with what is working: candid behind-the-scenes content, face-to-camera storytelling, specific and bold messaging, niche low-ticket offers that solve one clear problem, high-touch mentorship, and building an anti-fragile business rooted in real relationships and trust. When you show up with your personality at the forefront of your content and speak from your values, your audience will naturally connect with you and in time, become superfans that can't wait to your programs.

  • FBU 568: The JillFit Origin Story (+ the Lessons That Got Us Here)

    As we begin 2026, Jill wanted to share JillFit's origin story, and how she went from a 16-year-old obsessed with aerobics and babysitting at a gym for a free membership, to nearly three decades in fitness, corporate wellness, personal training, competitions, and eventually online business. Jill opens up about money fears, pressure from her parents to choose a "real" career, the moment she walked away from physical therapy school, and the mentors and momentum that kept her moving toward what she was both passionate about and good at. She also highlights the growing demand in health, wellness, longevity, and coaching, reminding you that even though the industry feels crowded, there's more opportunity than ever if you can communicate the value of your work and follow the places where competence and passion intersect.

  • FBU 567: Is Goal-Setting Even Useful? How I Set Annual Business Goals at JillFit

    2026 starts tomorrow, have you set any goals for your business yet? Today, Jill explores whether goal setting is actually useful within the worlds of online coaching, entrepreneurship, and fitness-based businesses. Goals can be useful—not as rigid outcomes that you have to accomplish in order to feel successful, but rather as intentions that guide your actions. Different personalities approach goals differently, and your own mindset around them can impact motivation, performance, and follow-through. When goal-setting, it's important to stay flexible, reverse-engineer what you want to achieve, and create clear plans while leaving some room for learning along the way. There's always a more grounded, strategic, and compassionate approach to setting goals for your business and life.
