Million Dollar Grit

In this episode, I’m diving into the stuff nobody warned me about when it comes to business, money, growth, and leadership.

Things like... how making more money doesn’t mean less stress—it actually requires a totally new skillset around wealth preservation. Or how your nervous system (yep, not your calendar or your team) becomes the biggest bottleneck.

I talk about how personal growth can get lonely, why 80% of your to-do list is probably fluff, and the hard truth that consistency—not talent or luck—is what moves the needle most.

Also sharing some behind-the-scenes truths: haters are real, drama is constant, and most “exciting opportunities” are not what they seem.

Let’s talk about the things nobody told us… but that we definitely need to know.

Today I'm chatting with my friend and client, Ashley Ebert, founder of The Abundance Group and owner of a thriving, multi-location wedding planning business. Ashley shares her journey from scaling her own service-based business (even through COVID!) to coaching other wedding pros on building businesses and lives they love.

We dive into:

The exact moment at Disney when Ashley realized she needed coaching support.

Her big "aha" moments from working together, especially around marketing with integrity.

How she successfully launched her mastermind with a strategic webinar (yes, webinars still work!).

What it really takes to build a mastermind—and why community is a huge part of it.

Ashley's advice for experts who feel stuck or overshadowed by marketers who might not have the same expertise.

This episode will resonate with anyone feeling the tension between being great at their craft but not naturally marketing-oriented. Ashley’s honesty and humor make this conversation especially fun!

Today I'm unpacking what parts of running a business will become simpler—and what's going to get trickier—as AI transforms our work. There's good news and a few challenges ahead. Let's dive in!

In today's episode, I'm diving into a fascinating question that came up during a long car ride conversation with my friend Tom: Have we moved from saying, "Did you Google this first?" to "Did you ask ChatGPT first?" As coaches and consultants, how do we balance empowering clients and team members to leverage AI for quick answers while also emphasizing that there's no true replacement for human expertise, nuance, and experience? Join me as I explore how AI is shifting the coaching space and why your uniquely human insights are more valuable than ever.

Have you ever gotten stuck tweaking something endlessly because it never feels quite "good enough"? In today's episode, I share why forgetting and ignoring are secretly your creative superpowers.

Turns out, science agrees: deliberately ignoring unnecessary details helps us think clearly and make better decisions. I'll explain why perfectionism can overwhelm us and share a simple practice to help you figure out exactly what to overlook.

Plus, I include one of my favorite quotes from William James: "The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook."

Ready to embrace "good enough" and finally hit publish? Let's dive in!

Fresh off my honeymoon in Hawaii, I found myself binge-watching Alone, a survival show where contestants are left in the wilderness to fend for themselves. While watching, I couldn’t help but draw parallels between survival in the wild and running a business—especially in today’s unpredictable economy. The game isn’t about winning outright—it’s about outlasting. In this episode, I break down the key survival strategies from Alone that every entrepreneur needs to hear.

Today, I’m answering a great question from a client that I think the whole community will benefit from. She asked, How do I tell if I should pursue a particular idea? What do I use to measure if it’s a good idea or not?

This is such an important topic because so many entrepreneurs get stuck in the cycle of idea after idea, unsure which one is worth pursuing. In this episode, I’m sharing the five key questions I ask myself—and my clients—before moving forward with an idea.

Today, I’m diving into the three most important sales assets every online business needs. These are the assets that drive conversions, build trust, and ultimately make sales easier.

I recently did a VIP session with a client where we mapped out her offers, value ladder, pricing, positioning, and everything in between. After hours of conversation, we realized that her biggest priority was creating three key sales assets—ones that many entrepreneurs either overlook or don't invest in properly.

In this episode, I’m breaking down each one, why it matters, and how to approach it strategically.

I’ve had a major epiphany about social media strategy: despite never calling myself a “social media strategist,” I’ve realized how crucial audience building is for my clients and me. In this episode, I explain why a balanced combo of inbound (people coming to me through content and funnels) and outbound (actively reaching out, DMing, commenting) is the key to steady growth—even if you have fewer than 1,000 followers.

I also share how I make my inbound marketing as efficient as possible so I can focus on personal connections. You’ll learn how I juggle multiple platforms, leverage quick copywriting, and use AI without getting stuck in perfectionism. Most importantly, I dive into why building a real, human audience matters more than ever as AI content and avatars multiply. Join me to discover practical, stress-free ways to grow your visibility and turn a small following into a big impact. Let’s do this!

In this episode of Million Dollar Grit, I dive into the idea of “you can do hard things” and share my personal journey of pushing through fear and failure. I explain how this phrase, once used to downplay my fears—whether it was going to the dentist or facing physical pain—felt dismissive, even as I struggled with my own anxiety and low tolerance for pain. I recount how I transformed my approach to working out by starting with a tiny, manageable goal: five minutes of hip drops while brushing my teeth. That small commitment snowballed into a consistent routine, proving that even when every part of you is telling you to stop, you can still move forward by taking one small step at a time. Join me as I reframe this familiar mantra into a call for persistence, inviting you to find that one daily action that, despite the odds, helps you overcome your hurdles and keeps you moving toward your next success.
