  • EP. 14: How to Start Building the Income and Life You Want

    In this episode, Logan McCarty talks about what it takes to create the income, business, or life you want, and why it starts with believing you can. You’ll learn how to keep going when nobody is buying or interested yet, how to use data instead of emotion to decide what to tweak, and how to know when to stick with something longer before you pivot. 

    Main Topics Discussed:

    • Why believing you can create anything you want is the first step, and how the barrier to entry changes depending on what you build
    • Why a corporate salary can leave you feeling stuck, and what it looks like to build income that doesn’t depend on someone else seeing your value
    • What to do when you post, launch, or show up and nobody buys, and why that’s usually a sign to tweak something instead of giving up
    • Why you have to repeat your message over and over, even when it feels annoying, and why you should test an idea several times before you pivot
    • Why wanting more than the status quo means pushing past people who think your standards are too high

  • EP: 13 Keeping Your Word to Yourself: How to Hold Yourself Accountable Through Time Blocking

    In this episode, Logan McCarty talks about why it’s so easy to show up for everyone else and so hard to show up for yourself, and how that quietly chips away at your trust in yourself. You’ll learn how to use time blocking as an accountability tool, why holding your own boundaries is what builds self-trust, and how Logan uses a color-coded calendar system to follow through on what she says she’s going to do. If you’ve time-blocked for years and it still hasn’t stuck, this is an extra layer to try.

    Main Topics Discussed:

    • Why it’s easy to be accountable to everyone else and so hard to say yes to yourself
    • How holding boundaries with yourself builds self-trust, and why that’s when more opportunities start to come in
    • Why white space on your calendar leads to saying yes to things you never planned to fit in
    • How to set up separate color coded calendars you can turn on and off, so you can check your real answer in 10 seconds before agreeing to anything
    • Treating your workouts, walks, and breaks like real appointments, the same way you would a doctor’s appointment
    • What to ask yourself if you still aren’t following through, and how to tell when the issue is your own boundaries versus people not respecting them
    • A quick Sunday check-in to look ahead at the week and adjust before things conflict

  • EP. 12: Find Your People and Go Further: What Investing in Yourself Really Looks Like

    In this episode, Logan McCarty talks about why investing in yourself gets you to your big goals so much faster, and why finding the right people is a huge part of that. You’ll hear the different ways to invest, from your time to mentors, masterminds, and retreats, how the people around you change the way you think and work, and why showing up for what you invest in matters just as much as the investment itself. Logan shares what she took away from a recent business retreat and what she has learned from investing in coaching and mentorship over the past six years.

    Main Topics Discussed:

    • How the people you spend time with start to change the way you think, work, and see your goals
    • Why investing in yourself is about wanting more, not about not being good enough
    • The different ways to invest, including your time, one-on-one coaching, masterminds, retreats, and mentors who meet you for coffee
    • Why more is not always better, and how to find the people and programs that actually fit you
    • Why showing up and holding yourself accountable matters just as much as the investment itself
    • How investing from a place of “I want more” instead of “this has to fix everything” makes the process easier and more fun
    • Why acting quickly on what you learn is what turns inspiration into results
    • How taking care of yourself ties directly into how well you show up in your business

    In this episode, Logan McCarty gives you a crash course on using TikTok to build your personal brand and bring in leads, whether you're a service provider, a coach, a digital product creator, or have a product based business. You'll hear why TikTok is not just silly dances anymore, why having clear unique positioning matters before you start posting, and what to pay attention to so you know it's working.

    • Why getting to 1,000 followers fast matters so people have somewhere to go when they land on your profile
    • The few analytics to watch: profile views, video views, followers, and link in bio clicks
    • What to do when a video works, and why you should re-record it instead of reposting it
