Ever feel like you're drowning in the "hustle harder" culture of online business? Today's episode is going to flip the script on what success really looks like - and trust me, it's not about grinding yourself into burnout!

I sat down with Courtney, founder of Courtney Marie & Co., who went from charging $600 for her first website to helping clients crush $12K launches in a single day! But here's the thing- instead of scaling up to a massive agency (been there, done that with 7 team members!), she chose to scale DOWN to create a business that actually lets her enjoy her life. And her income didn't tank!

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why scaling down actually led to more freedom and fulfillment
• The real truth about chasing vanity metrics and revenue goals (and why they'll never make you happy)
• How to create a business model that supports your dream life (not the other way around)
• Breaking free from the "more is better" mindset trap
• Why taking a step back can be the biggest step forward
• The power of staying in your zone of genius instead of trying to do it all
• How faith and intention can transform your approach to business

Whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck in the hamster wheel of scaling up, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about success. And if you're like me and built your business to have freedom but aren't actually using it - this episode is your wake-up call!

Ready to redefine success on your terms? This episode is your permission slip to do business YOUR way. Get ready to unlearn everything you thought you knew about scaling a business and embrace a more aligned approach to success!

Are you still freaking out every time you need to sell your services? Breaking news - you're not alone. In this episode, I'm chatting with JT Thomas, a sales strategist and consultant who's been crushing it for 12 years and landing in the top 1% of every company he's worked for. He breaks down why so many of us get sweaty palms when it comes to asking for money and shares his no-BS approach to selling without feeling like a sleazy car salesman.

You know those people who say "I'll just be so good at what I do that clients will come running"? Yeah, that was me in 2018 and spoiler alert - it doesn't work that way. JT reveals why selling is actually just about transferring your belief in what you do to others. And he should know - he's spent over a decade teaching people how to sell authentically and effectively. If you actually believe in your shit, selling becomes way less scary.

Think you need some complicated sales script? Think again. JT explains why overcomplicating things is actually killing your success. Instead of memorizing the perfect words, focus on asking questions and finding out what people actually want (not what they need - there's a difference).

Get ready to learn:

• Why we're all scared shitless to talk about money
• The power of getting small "yeses" before going for the close
• Why you need to throw away your rigid scripts
• How to control the conversation while making them feel in control

You know those posts about "making money while you sleep"? Yeah, we're calling BS on that today. I had the most incredible conversation with self-proclaimed cashflow queen Mel Aubert (who I've literally known since my VA days!) about what it actually takes to build passive income that works.

Mel's all about making money multiply by going ALL IN on a biz model that works harder than you. She shared her journey from selling $25 workout plans (with a hilarious PayPal typo story!) to building a freaking amazing 7-figure business that runs without her being glued to her laptop 24/7.

Want to hear something wild? One of Mel's clients is hitting 58K months with TWO likes per photo (yes, you read that right!). The absolute gold in this episode is learning why your income might plateau while building passive income (totally normal!) and how playing the long game pays off big time. No BS, no sugar coating - just straight-up strategy that actually works.

Get ready to learn:

• The truth about what passive income actually means (hint: it's not about doing nothing!)
• Why having a huge Instagram following doesn't matter for business success
• How to strategically structure your business to create real passive income
• The difference between chasing easy money versus creating sustainable ease
• Why you might see a plateau in revenue (and why that's actually okay!)
• How to know when you're actually ready to go passive in your business
• The importance of being intentional with your social media presence

Holy crap, moms - are you feeling like you need to do ALL the things? I get it. I just had a baby in June, and trying to balance my business with a newborn (plus my other kiddos) has been wild. 

And let's be honest - we're still expected to do everything moms did in the 60s and 70s, PLUS run a full-time business. Something's gotta give!

That's why I loved chatting with Valerie Recore about ditching this "do it all" mindset that's burning us out. Valerie is a productivity coach and a Certified Fair Play Method Facilitator. She helps moms gain control over their to-do lists, spend more time with their families, and end their days feeling accomplished. 

Here's what hit home for me during our chat:

• You don't have to balance everything perfectly every day (seriously, it's okay!)
• Break down those massive projects into tasks to avoid getting overwhelmed
• Some days are for work, some for family - and that's why we started our businesses!
• How to track your time in blocks (fellow ADHD entrepreneurs, this one's for you!)

Bottom line: This superwoman juggling act? Yeah, we're done with that.
