What It Really Takes for Women to Build a Million Dollar Business

Women start businesses for many reasons. Some want more freedom. Some want more flexibility for their families. Others want to create something meaningful that reflects their values. But the journey from starting a business to scaling it is not just about strategy. It is about identity, leadership, and the willingness to believe that you deserve to build wealth.

In this episode, I sit down with Megan Kilpatrick for an honest and empowering conversation about what women really need to grow a business that supports their lives and their goals. We talk about why the woman who starts the business is not the woman who scales it, why money must stop being a taboo topic, and why paying yourself well is a critical part of building something sustainable.

If you are a woman with big goals, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the mindset needed to grow your business with purpose.

Why Your First Strategy Works and Then Suddenly Doesn't

When a strategy works beautifully the first time and then falls flat the second, it can feel personal. You start wondering if something shifted in you or if you did something wrong. But nothing is wrong with you. Your audience simply already saw it.

In this episode, I explain why your first strategy creates strong results, why it naturally slows down, and what to do instead of starting over. You will learn how to understand audience saturation, why novelty matters, and how to keep growing without doubting your ability.

If you have felt confused or discouraged by declining results, this conversation will help you feel grounded again. You are not failing. You are growing.

Your Business Isn't Broken, It's Just Stuck

Feeling stuck in your business does not mean you have failed. It does not mean something is wrong with you or that your business is broken. It simply means you are not where you expected to be, and that is a completely normal part of growth.

In this solo episode, I talk about the real reason coaches and entrepreneurs feel stuck and why the answer is almost never to start over. You will learn how to identify the part of your business that needs your attention, how to stop overthinking and start moving, and why clarity comes from action, not contemplation.

This episode will help you understand your stuckness with compassion instead of criticism. When you shift how you see it, you can take the steps that actually create momentum and move you toward the results you want. Your next level is closer than you think, and it starts with the way you choose to move today.

From Survival to Scale: The Power of Acquiring to Grow

What if the fastest way to grow your business is not by working harder, but by thinking differently?

In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, I sit down with Tom Shipley, a serial entrepreneur and M&A strategist who has built, acquired, and scaled multiple companies to extraordinary success. We explore how smart, strategic acquisitions can help entrepreneurs move from surviving to scaling. You will hear real stories of turning cash flow crises into opportunities for expansion, and how creativity and courage often matter more than resources.

This conversation is a reminder that every obstacle has a solution if you are willing to see your challenges differently. Growth is not just about building something new. It is about recognizing what already works and using it to create something even greater.

What New Coaches Get Wrong About Growing to Six Figures

Many new coaches believe they need a huge following, perfect confidence, or a flawless strategy before they can start growing their business. In this solo episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, Amanda breaks down the truth about what actually matters when you are building your coaching business from the ground up.

This episode explores why follower counts do not determine your success, why preparation often becomes a comfortable hiding place, and why courage is more important than confidence in your early stages. You will also learn how trust is built by keeping promises to yourself and why that inner trust becomes the foundation for attracting clients who are ready for real transformation.

If you feel like you have been waiting for the perfect moment to begin, this conversation will help you step forward with clarity and confidence. You already have what you need to start. Now it is time to grow.
