The Five Minute Hustle

Why Your First Impression Is Doing More Talking Than You Are

This is a Presentation Hustle.

Your brand has a “front door”: your Instagram bio, website hero, email signature, pinned post—anywhere someone meets you for the first time.

If that first impression is vague, cluttered, or all vibes and no clarity, people won’t stick around to figure it out… even if you’re exactly who they need.

In this episode of The Five Minute Hustle, Terrica breaks down how to think about your front door assets so they each have one job, support your positioning and pricing, and make it easy for the right people to say, “Oh, this is for me.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What “Presentation” actually means beyond pretty visuals

• Why your first impression might be quietly working against your brand

• How to give each front door asset one clear job

• A simple way to tighten your bio, hero section, or email signature in five minutes

Five-Minute Move

Choose one:

• Instagram bio

• Website hero section

• Email signature

Ask:

1. Does this clearly say what I do and who I’m for?

2. Does this sound like the CEO I am becoming, not the older version of me?

3. Is there one obvious next step?

Then make one improvement—just one—that makes your front door clearer and more intentional.

Your front door doesn’t have to say everything.

It just has to say enough to invite the right people in.

This is a Pricing Hustle.

If your rates haven’t moved much, but your career has, there’s a gap.

You’ve:

• won awards
• been featured in magazines, blogs, and podcasts
• invested in courses, conferences, and coaching
• collaborated on styled shoots
• spent years building real experience

…but your pricing still looks like the version of you from years ago.

In this episode of The Five Minute Hustle, Terrica breaks down how your invisible resume should impact your rates—and why raising your prices isn’t just about charging more, it’s about raising your standards and right-sizing your services.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The “invisible resume” most pros forget to factor into their pricing
• Why education, features, awards, and years in the industry should nudge your baseline up
• How merit, cost of living, and scope creep all fit into your pricing order of operations
• Why overstuffing your services leads to feeling frustrated, broke, and burned out

Five-Minute Move

Make two quick lists:

1. Your merit list

   • Awards
   • Publications/features
   • Education you’ve invested in
   • Styled shoots/collabs
   • Years in the industry

   Then ask:

   “Am I still pricing like the version of me before I accomplished all this?"

2. Your overstuffed list

   • For one core service, list everything you’re currently doing.
   • Star anything you’re only including to “get the booking” or that feels heavy and resentful.

Then, decide:

• Does this price still make sense given who I am now and what it costs me to deliver?
• If I raise this rate, what needs to move to an add-on or higher tier so I can make more by doing less?

Your experience deserves to show up in your numbers—not just on your About page.

Price Every Move Deliberately And Strategically

This is a Pricing Hustle.

If your prices still feel a little… made up, you’re not alone.

Most service-based CEOs are guessing, copying what they see online, or adjusting their rates based on whoever’s in their inbox that week.

No wonder it feels shaky.

In this episode of The Five Minute Hustle, Terrica introduces her PEMDAS framework for pricing:

Price Every Move Deliberately And Strategically.

You’ll learn an “order of operations” for your prices so you stop freestyling and start charging in a way that matches your goals, your costs, and your positioning.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why pricing from “what people will pay” keeps you undercharging
• The six-step PEMDAS framework for intentional pricing
• How Profit Target, Expenses, Market, Deliverables, Anchors, and Story all work together

Your Five-Minute Move

Choose one core offer and walk it through the first three steps of PEMDAS:

1. Profit Target – What do you want this offer to do for you financially each month?
2. Expenses – What hard and soft costs go into delivering it?
3. Market & Positioning – Is this your entry, mid-tier, or premium offer—and does your current price match that?

You don’t have to rebuild your entire pricing structure today.

You just need to start pricing every move deliberately and strategically.

The 10–10–10 Lens for Confident Positioning

This is a Positioning Hustle.

A huge part of your positioning isn’t just your branding or your niche—it’s your decisions.

Every yes and no teaches your audience, your clients, and your industry how to see you.

In this episode of The Five Minute Hustle, Terrica shares the simple 10–10–10 decision lens (plus one powerful bonus question) she uses to move faster without regret and protect her positioning as a CEO.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why undecided decisions quietly drain your energy and blur your positioning
• How the 10–10–10 lens pulls you out of “right now” panic and into long-term clarity
• The one question to ask to see if a decision reinforces or confuses your positioning

Your Five-Minute Move

Write down one decision you’ve been avoiding—about a client, an offer, or an opportunity.

Run it through:

• 10 minutes from now
• 10 months from now
• 10 years from now

Then ask:

“Does this decision reinforce or confuse my positioning?”

Make the call—or schedule time within the next 24 hours to decide.

Your positioning gets clearer every time you choose on purpose.

Why “I Do Everything” Isn’t a Position

This is a Positioning Hustle.

If you asked your audience what you’re known for, would they all say the same thing—or would you get five different answers?

When people can’t clearly articulate what you do and why it matters, it’s not just a marketing issue. It’s a positioning issue.

In this episode of The Five Minute Hustle, Terrica breaks positioning down into simple, real-world terms and shares one of her core truths:

If you’re everything to everybody, you’re nothing to nobody.

You’ll start clarifying what you actually want to be known for in your market—without needing a 30-page brand strategy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• A plain-language definition of positioning (no jargon)
• Why “I can do everything” quietly positions you as replaceable
• Three questions that clarify who you’re for and what you’re the obvious answer to

Five-Minute Move

Answer these three prompts:

1. Who am I really for?
2. What am I the obvious answer to?
3. Why me instead of everyone else they’re looking at?

Then pull it into a simple sentence:

“I help [who] [result] [your distinct approach]."

It doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be clear enough to give your brain a lane to build on.

Busy Isn’t the Same as Productive

This is a Process Hustle.

In Episode 1, you mapped out your Focus Power Quadrant so you could see what kind of work is really on your plate. In this episode, Terrica zooms in on a single line of that list and reveals why your to-do list might still be lying to you.

Feeling busy doesn’t always mean you’re making progress. Big, vague tasks quietly drain your energy before you ever start, and they’re one of the main reasons you end the day feeling behind.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your brain resists “big” and undefined tasks

• How breaking work into smaller, intentional pieces creates momentum without burnout

• The difference between staying active and actually moving your business forward

Key Takeaway

Momentum isn’t created by doing more—it’s created by doing the right size of work at the right time.

Five-Minute Move:

Choose one task that’s been sitting on your list and break it into three smaller, clear actions. Do just one today.

Progress starts when your brain knows exactly where to begin.

This is a Process Hustle.

If you feel like you’re working hard but not seeing the progress you want, the problem isn’t your drive—it’s that you’re treating every task like it pays your business the same.

In the first episode of The Five Minute Hustle, Terrica kicks off the new, more intentional era of the podcast and introduces the Focus Power Quadrant—a simple way to sort every task on your plate so you can see what actually deserves your energy first.

• Why not all work “pays” your business in the same way

• The four categories of work inside the Focus Power Quadrant

• How seeing your tasks through this lens makes it easier to decide what to tackle next

Grab a sheet of paper and divide it into four boxes:

• MMA – Money-Making Activities

• NMA – Needle-Moving Activities

• FFA – Foundation-Fortifying Activities

• EBA – Empire-Building Activities

Brain dump what’s on your plate and place each task into a box. Then circle one money-making and one needle-moving action to prioritize next.

Clarity about the kind of work you’re doing is the first step to creating intentional momentum.
