The tables have turned on The Amanda Kaufman Show. If the strategies that used to bring clients in have quietly stopped working, and it is tempting to blame AI, the economy, or the price of eggs, this conversation is for you. In this episode, co-host Rebecca Kaufman flips the mic and interviews Amanda Kaufman herself. Amanda is the founder of Clairvenu, a former corporate consultant, and a coach who helps service-based business owners... coaches, consultants, agency owners, and other people who help people for a living... gain clarity so they can do less and earn more. Rebecca gets her talking about the real reason so many established businesses feel stuck right now, and the data-driven decisions that unlock the next level of growth. In this episode, you will learn: - Why "what used to work is not working" is usually a misdiagnosis, and why the work-harder prescription makes things worse - How the story of the good old days often falls apart when you check the actual data (and why that is good news) - The bare minimum set of metrics Amanda recommends: your time, your input activities, booked calls, and yeses - Why one calendar (not six) is the first step toward a predictable business - How the action, track, review, adjust cycle turns stuck into momentum... including the one bottleneck fix that created this very episode - How to use AI tools like Claude to pop the hood on your business data without buying new software or hiring a data scientist ------ CONNECT WITH AMANDA KAUFMAN & THE SHOW Website: clairvenu.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandackaufman/ Instagram: @theamandakaufman or https://www.instagram.com/theamandakaufman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChatwithAmandaKaufman/ Free training: Watch Amanda's free webinar, "How I Finally Got AI To Help Make Me Money: A Comedy," at https://clairvenu.com/training Go deeper: Find out about Clairvenu's Inner Circle at https://clairvenu.com Want to be a guest?
