Your vibes aren't the most reliable or sustainable mindset or strategy for success, running a business, or making lots of money.

Don't get me wrong, I'm here for how good that energy feels, the momentum it can bring, and what it can manifest. But what happens when you're in your 'dark night of the soul'?

What happens when life is lifing?

I've run my business through some of the hardest days of my life, including my dad's last ones, and "be high vibe" was never going to carry me through that.

That's why I'm bringing back the Millionaire-Minded CEO Mini-Series to bring you Day Two, where we're diving into the vibe that actually gets the results you want, and ONE Question to make strategic decisions and win the game of business (even when you're in your dark night of the soul).

In this episode we're unpacking:

• The mindset and approach to business that's actually the most powerful for six and seven-figure results (and works even when you're going through a hard season) and how to use this question to help you tap into it.

• One reason we lean on AI, how to give yourself this same benefit, and the way I lean into and leverage this approach to stay fully booked and make $40k cash months no matter what I'm feeling or going through.

• How one client used this question and way of thinking to stop digging holes in her business, show up even when she wasn't feeling it, and make a $30k month.

Have you ever looked at someone else crushing it online and gotten triggered or wondered if you're doing things wrong?

Maybe you've seen someone brag on their six-figure launch without paying for ads or conversely watched someone share their daily passive income Stripe payments thanks to their ads strategy and funnels.

Or maybe you've implemented and built out all the "right" things in your business you were taught you should do to scale, but it's feeling heavy or like the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Or maybe you're just ready to scale in a way that also feels good ("on your terms").

If so, this episode is for you. We're unpacking ONE Question to open up your capacity to scale (hint: this isn't another productivity or time management hack)

We covered:

• The biggest differentiator I see between clients who scale with ease and clients who stay stuck (no, this isn't your model, strategy, or data).

• One clear signal you're building the right thing even when you're waiting for results and how to know when it's actually "wrong" for you and your version of success.

• The pricing model one client thought she "had to" keep, and why dropping it helped her have a $30K month not long after.

• Why the capacity needed to scale isn't always a calendar or team problem and what one client shifted to open her up to make more money.

• That time I cried on the subway coming home from my 9-5 and why that was a GOOD thing and the catalyst for this ONE Question and starting my business that's gone on to make $2.2M and has made me one of the richest and happiest CEOs I know.

If there's one thing I've learned over the last decade in business it's that simply showing up and marketing aren't enough.

Don't get me wrong, both matter. But how we show up, who we're being, and what we communicate is the difference between posting and feeling invisible and getting seen…and between hearing "you're so inspiring" and getting friend zone and attracting right-fit clients who can't wait to hire and pay us.

That's why I'm excited to bring you this conversation with my friend Michael Roderick, the CEO of Small Pond Enterprises, where we're unpacking his ONE Question to Attract Excellence Clients Who Love to Pay You for Your Brain & Offers.

Michael's zone of genius is helping thoughtful givers become thought leaders by making their brands referable, their messaging memorable, and their ideas unforgettable.

In this episode we dive into:

• The difference between aspirational and excellence buyers, and the exact order each one thinks in when they're deciding to work with you (once you see it you can't unsee it in your own marketing).

• Why positioning yourself as the hero or the guide changes your visibility, sales, and even which objections you hear. Plus Michael's additional question to help you get clear.

• What it means to be an "excellence curious" buyer, and real talk about the bridge most coaches skip entirely that costs them.

• Michael turns the lens on my own Substack and breaks down exactly why it's working to get noticed, bring in traffic and new leads, and how it weeds out misfit clients so I ensure I book consultations with the right people who know I'm the coach for them.

• The important thing to consider as a coach, therapist, or other service provider who isn't selling a one-size-fits all solution, the "secret", or giving someone the answers and how to apply this to your content.

Whether you're going after your first or next million, or that's never been the goal, becoming a Millionaire-Minded CEO who knows you're enough, has enough, and knows how to make money is something no one can take away from you.

That's what I want for you.

I just finished celebrating with a client I've worked with for five years who's "graduated" because they're ready to wind things down and semi-retire.

This client had just opened their coaching business when we started our work together. They went on to replace their corporate salary in three months, then scaled to a million a year.

What's fascinating is, as we celebrated, making a million dollars was never mentioned once. It's who they're stepping into being and what they've built that made the list.

And after ten years of this work, that's the part I know matters most: how you manage your mind and who you become as a CEO.

So this week, we're doing things a little differently on the podcast and diving into five days and five questions to represent this client's five years of becoming a Millionaire-Minded CEO.

Join me for Day 1 and ONE Question to think like a CEO and make millions without losing yourself.

In this episode we're unpacking:

• ONE question I asked this client early on that changed how they think about and approach business and helped them show up and scale fast while navigating personal challenges.

• A simple tool you can use to create space between your thoughts, feelings, and reactions so you're able to manage your mind to think and show up like a CEO.

• Examples of how to use this question during your sales process, launches, and when making strategic decisions.

After you have a chance to listen, I'd love to invite you to join me for days two through five of the Millionaire-Minded CEO Mini- Series as an Insider on my Substack, Business Inside Out.

Learn more and get your free trial here, or join for as little as $10/month.

You'll also get access to a monthly, live Q&A coaching call and a monthly client or personal case study and breakdown on the sales and launch strategy that's working right now to make six and seven-figures.

I've decided to buy a place in NYC, even though on paper, it's not the most financially leveraged move I could make.

For years, I was very clear I'd never buy here because the math doesn't math.

But as I got honest about my values, my need for safety, and what true wealth actually looks like for me, something shifted.

In this episode, I'm unpacking ONE Question to Become the Richest and Happiest CEO You Know (that goes beyond mathing the math).

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why the "most leveraged" move on paper isn't always the most leveraged move for your life and the nuance most financial teaching leaves out.

• The difference between being rich and wealthy and why understanding your ratio of both changes every financial decision you make.

• How to get clear on your unique money blueprint for true wealth and use it to make decisions that support your values, financial success, and happiness.

• Why the same decision can be the right move for you at one stage and the wrong one at another and how to know when it's time to revisit.

• The delayed vs. instant gratification piece most business owners get wrong and why building any kind of true wealth (financial, relational, health, experiential) asks you to sit with both.

I just took my mindset and manifesting to a whole new level and started "crazy journaling."

It's been wild what it's uncovered and what's shown up for me in 24 hours.

In fact, it's had me make a decision and set a financial goal I was absolutely sure I was against…until now.

In this episode, I'm unpacking ONE Question to Expand Your Success & Manifest What You Actually Want (and stop chasing or building someone else's dream).

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What I decided because no one would ever know, that I'm ironically telling you and claiming as done.

• The surprising way smart, successful high achievers (and dare I say, recovering perfectionists) unintentionally play small and limit their earning potential.

• What "crazy journaling" is, and why I recommend this practice to create clarity and expand what you think is possible and what you practically manifest.

• ONE Question I ask myself to crazy journal, and why this matters most for business owners in the online space where we're constantly seeing other people's results and being marketed what we should want.

I'm working less and making the same or more than ever in my business.

It's not because things are suddenly "easy," but they do feel that way. I'm still doing plenty that might look "hard" from the outside looking in. Last month, for as easeful as it felt, I also had a couple of capital P Problems. They just barely blipped on my radar.

That's why in this episode, I'm unpacking ONE Question to Solve "Better" Problems Like a CEO.

I'm sharing how I think about, handle, and address problems in my business to continue to serve my clients well, run things smoothly, and scale in a way that also feels good and allows me to enjoy the ride.

We covered:

• Why "no more problems" isn't my goal but "better" problems are (and how these can help you grow and scale, too).

• ONE question I ask myself the second something breaks (or gets hard) so I skip the spiral and the drama and go straight to solving it.

• What actually caps most people's revenue (it's not what you think it is) and how to sidestep it to sustain and grow your income.

• How to use this question to expand your capacity to hold bigger success without it costing you your peace.

It Takes What it Takes by Andy Staples and Trevor Moawad

Dissolve the Problem by Richard Dots

It's not lost on me that I've been coaching my clients to "own their magic and results," "stop hiding in plain sight," and "take up space" for over a decade…and, this has also been my edge at every level.

At a recent mastermind retreat, I got unexpectedly asked to teach the room on my genius more than once, and it surfaced the next layer of work I didn't know I needed. It's left me thinking about why we shrink, and why taking up space is so expansive for us, our business, clients, and everyone around us.

In Episode 225, I'm unpacking ONE Question to scale by taking up space (and stop pretending anyone benefits when you shrink).

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why taking up space is the most underrated growth lever in your business.

• The number one thing you have to have more of if you want to sell and scale past six figures.

• The sneaky ways high achievers show up, take action, do all the right things, check the boxes, and still hide in plain sight (and how this limits your success and revenue).

• The real reasons we shrink, the hidden "benefits" we think we're getting, and what it's actually costing us and the people around us.

I have over $125k liquid (not in investments) and there's still a part of me that worries about the bottom falling out.

I broke up with chasing more money to prove I'm a "good" coach a long time ago. But the hard work = more money and success thing has been tougher to unwind.

My guess is some version of this lives in you too, whether it shows up as hustling harder for safety or pendulum swinging into avoidance so you don't burn out. Either way, this keeps us wiring our security, and our revenue, to how much or little we work.

That's why in this episode, I'm unpacking ONE Question for Financial Security & Summer Fridays (without hustling harder).

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why the money you make matters but isn't the best metric for security or sustainability.

• The conversation I have with my high achieving clients making $10k-$20k months and the work we focus on to help them scale, pay themselves more, and enjoy their money.

• That time I "accidentally" overbooked myself with 29 1:1s and why more clients and revenue isn't always the path to making more or creating steadiness the way we think it is.

• The pattern interrupt I had to give myself, why I'm actually taking Summer Fridays, and what every CEO needs to cultivate for thought leadership and next-level results.

• How I'm using this ONE Question as my own mindset work to rewire my relationship with work, money, my business, and safety.

Ever wonder what multi-six and seven-figure business owners actually talk about when no one's watching?

One of my peers, who runs a $600k/year business with an 80% profit margin, met me for coffee here in NYC. And we didn't hold back.

We talked about the investments that have and haven't been worth it, what's actually working in marketing right now, the real math behind "passive income," and what we wish more people understood about scaling.

Including the dirty little secret nobody in this industry wants to say out loud: a lot of the people teaching you how to scale to multi-millions aren't taking home anywhere close to what you think they are.

And chasing that number and business model, without understanding what it actually costs, is exactly how smart, profitable business owners end up burning down something great.

In Episode 223, I'm unpacking ONE Question to dismantle the industry's dirty little secret and avoid burning down a great business, and how to use your answer to change how you make every strategic decision in your business.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The real math behind a well-known $10M/year business and what she actually takes home, why it's still impressive, and what it tells you about the true cost of that model.

• Why "just do what feels good" isn't a scaling strategy and what to do instead.

• The counterintuitive truth about scaling that nobody wants to hear, and why it's actually the thing that helps you make more.

• ONE Question to cut through the noise, expose the tradeoffs hiding inside every business model, and know exactly where to focus to scale smarter for the results that actually matter to you.
