Business Burnout: My Unexpected Lesson Behind It 32:44

7 days ago32:44

32:44

More Isn’t Always Better—Here’s Why Knowing Your ‘Enough’ Changes Everything If you’ve ever felt stuck chasing bigger goals just because you should —you’re not alone, and you’re not wrong for wanting a different pace. In fact, this episode might be exactly what you didn’t know you needed. I'm sharing something that completely shifted the way I operate in my business: discovering my enough . After a tough season of burnout and disconnection, I had to ask myself: Why am I pushing so hard when I already have what I truly want? And if I do want to keep growing—what does intentional growth actually look like? In this episode, I get personal about the year I felt like walking away from it all, the unexpected wisdom I got from Hobie, and the mindset shift that helped me reclaim my peace. I’ll also guide you through the exact exercise I use every year to define what “enough” looks like for me—financially and emotionally—so I can move into the new year with clarity and confidence. And now, I want to pass that clarity on to you. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ You Don’t Have to Grow Just Because You Can. I used to think success meant constant growth, but I’ve learned that alignment is way more powerful than endless expansion. 2️⃣ Defining Your ‘Enough’ Helps You Reclaim Your Time and Energy. When you know what you're really working toward, you can stop saying yes to the things that drain you—and start making space for what lights you up. 3️⃣ This One Simple Exercise Will Shift How You Set Revenue Goals. I walk you through a quick and honest formula to define what your sustainable business should earn—not someone else’s version of success. THE DEFINE-YOUR-ENOUGH EXERCISE Grab a journal, get cozy, and take some time to reflect on these three questions: If you had one less work day per week, what would you do with that time? (Think self-care, family, rest, hobbies—whatever lights you up outside of work.) What’s one thing you would stop doing in your business today if there were zero consequences? (Be honest—this will reveal what’s draining your energy or misaligned.) If your revenue doubled overnight, what would actually change? (Would your life look dramatically different? Would it feel better? Or just busier?) ✨ Now, Let’s Do the Simple Revenue Calculation: Here’s how to find your minimum sustainable revenue —the number that funds your ideal life without burning you out. Step 1: Start with your ideal monthly take-home pay (What you need to live well—not just survive. Think mortgage, groceries, lifestyle expenses, savings, travel, etc.) Step 2: Add in your monthly business expenses and payroll (This includes tools, contractors, taxes, team, advertising, education—anything required to run your business well.) Step 3: Add them together = Your Minimum Sustainable Revenue That’s your enough —and it’s the number to build your business around.

It’s Not Just You: Why Online Business Feels Different Right Now 53:02

14 days ago53:02

53:02

What This Season of Change Makes Possible for You and Your Business The online marketing landscape is shifting—and if you’ve been feeling like your go-to strategies aren’t working the same way they used to, you’re not alone. But here's the truth: this evolution is your invitation to get smarter, more agile, and more profitable than ever before. In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Jenna Kutcher to unpack what’s really happening in the world of digital marketing—from shrinking webinar show-up rates to why cold audiences are harder to convert (and what to do about it). We’re getting honest about the changes we’re seeing in our own launches and sharing the mindset and marketing pivots that are helping us stay ahead. If you’ve been wondering why your organic reach is dropping, if paid ads are even worth it, or whether evergreen funnels still convert, you’ll find answers here, plus clear steps to refine your strategies without burning out. Whether you’re adjusting to new buyer behavior, exploring alternative ad platforms like Pinterest, or figuring out how to build trust in the age of AI, this episode gives you the clarity you need to stay confident in your business. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Marketing Isn't Broken—But It Is Different Email, webinars, and evergreen funnels still work…if you evolve with them. Buyer behavior has changed, and that shift calls for smarter strategies, better messaging, and more personalized touchpoints. 2️⃣ Your Audience Is Evolving—Are You? Cold audiences need clarity fast, and warm audiences need to feel reconnected. Revisit your avatars, refresh your messaging, and don’t assume your audience is the same as last year. 3️⃣ It's Time to Lead with Agility, Not Just Automation Lower show-up rates and smaller cart close days aren’t signs of failure—they're signals to show up earlier, sell with clarity, and build trust over time. Strategic pivots (like offering payment plans sooner or trying Pinterest ads) can turn dips into breakthroughs.

Subject Lines That Stop the Scroll: Jay Schwedelson’s Secrets Revealed 54:43

21 days ago54:43

54:43

Your Emails Deserve More Opens, Clicks, and Sales—Here’s How to Get Them AI is making us feel less and less connected with brands, but personal newsletters are changing the game. With a 48% higher open rate and 30% more click-throughs than traditional brand emails, personal newsletters are becoming the ultimate way to break through the noise and build trust with your subscribers. Email marketing expert Jay Schwedelson joins me to share step-by-step how you can implement unconventional and super impactful strategies to revitalize your email marketing efforts. You'll discover what makes a newsletter truly personal, the must-have elements for success, and email growth strategies that actually work right now. If your open rates have plateaued, your click-throughs aren't what they used to be, or you're just tired of putting hours into emails that don't convert, this episode delivers the exact framework you need. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ People Connect With People—Not Faceless Brands – When your audience sees a real person in their inbox instead of a company name, they're much more likely to open and engage. Jay reveals how to strategically use your "from" name as an extension of your subject line and why this one small change can transform your results immediately. 2️⃣ Why Landing In The Promo Tab Is Actually A Good Thing – This common fixation is likely distracting you from what really matters for email deliverability. Instead, learn what's actually causing your open rate issues and the simple validation process that can dramatically improve performance. 3️⃣ Make Your Emails Feel Like a Personal Experience, Not a Transaction – The most effective newsletters blend authentic storytelling with strategic marketing. Jay shares practical tips (like adding reading time estimates to links) that can instantly boost click-through rates. Plus, discover how to resurface your best content to non-openers with a specific subject line formula that captures attention and drives results.

How to Align Your Business Strategy for Long-Term Success 39:23

28 days ago39:23

39:23

The Smartest Entrepreneurs Know When to Pivot—Here’s How to Spot and Fix a Strategy That’s Holding You Back What if the reason your business growth has stalled isn’t due to a lack of strategy—but rather the wrong strategy? You might be unknowingly following an anti-strategy , a sneaky business misalignment that costs time, money, and momentum. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own anti-strategies—the costly decisions I thought were game-changers but turned out to be massive missteps. From a coaching program that almost derailed my core business to a CRM migration nightmare that drained time and resources, I’m sharing the hard-earned lessons that will help you avoid making the same mistakes. If you’ve ever felt stuck despite implementing all the "right" strategies, this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through exactly how to identify and course-correct an anti-strategy before it costs you big time. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ An Anti-Strategy Is a Strategy That Works Against You – Sometimes, a plan seems smart on paper but lacks alignment with your core business goals. If a new project pulls you away from your primary revenue drivers, it could be an anti-strategy in disguise. 2️⃣ Misalignment Costs More Than You Think – Whether it’s wasted time, lost revenue, or team frustration, making decisions in a silo (without the right input) leads to costly detours. The key is bringing the right people into the conversation early. 3️⃣ The Fix? Strategic Check-Ins & Gut Instincts – Regularly review your business goals and ask, “Is this truly moving us forward?” If your gut tells you something is off, trust it. Pausing and pivoting sooner rather than later can save you from a painful misstep.

The Step-by-Step Framework for Marketing That Actually Connects and Converts My friend, if you're ready to refresh your marketing approach, this episode is going to be a total game-changer for you! We’re diving deep into identity-driven marketing strategies with the incredible Veronica Romney, who has pioneered a revolutionary approach that shifts your messaging from "buy this" to "be this." Veronica explains that true identity marketing connects your brand so deeply with somebody's self-identity—not just who they are now, but who they wish to become—that they develop a loyalty that's transformational for your business. We explore the critical difference between identity marketing and brand identity, why relationship-oriented marketing truly outperforms those old-school transactional approaches, and how businesses of any size can leverage the psychology of identity to create movements around their brands. Veronica breaks down her four-part Identity Code framework, shares real-world success stories that will inspire you, and explains why revisiting your ideal customer avatar might be the missing piece to your current marketing strategy. Trust me, this conversation is packed with so many actionable insights that will help you bring identity marketing to life in your business! HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Connect With Identity, Not Just Features – People don't buy products; they buy a version of themselves they want to become. Move beyond "buy this" marketing to create a sense of belonging that transforms casual buyers into devoted brand champions who see you as part of their identity. 2️⃣ Follow The Four-Step Identity Code – Find your audience's true identity by listening to how they talk about themselves, test your ideas like a comedian workshops jokes, give deep meaning to what belonging looks like, and create tangible ways for people to express this identity in their everyday lives. 3️⃣ Start Identity Marketing Inside Your Organization – Before marketing identity to customers, establish it within your business. When your team strongly identifies with their roles, they'll naturally create more authentic and powerful identity-based messaging for your audience.

How To Stop Being An All-or-Nothing Thinker 37:13

6 weeks ago37:13

37:13

Breaking Free From the All-or-Nothing Mindset That's Slowing Your Business Growth If you're anything like me, you've probably fallen into the trap of seeing your business in black and white – either it's thriving or failing, and there’s nothing in between! In this episode, I share my personal wake-up call (spoiler: it involves a disastrous 5K run) that revealed how my all-or-nothing mindset was holding me back in business and life. Your brain naturally craves certainty (science confirms this!), but this extreme thinking creates unnecessary pressure and keeps you stuck in perfectionism, waiting for conditions that might never come. The truth is, growth happens in the messy middle where you're taking imperfect action, collecting data, and making strategic pivots. In this episode, you'll learn practical frameworks to shift out of extreme thinking patterns that are stalling your growth. I'll show you how to reframe missed goals as data collection opportunities, take decisive action, and embrace "phase one" thinking that gets you moving forward. Plus, I share how my own mindset shifts led to launching my Made to Scale Mastermind and Milly Club – opportunities I would have missed if I'd stayed stuck in my all-or-nothing thinking. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Mental Flexibility Is Your Superpower – Obstacles don't mean stop, they mean pivot. When launches don't hit goals or team members struggle, resist seeing it as failure and instead look for the adjustments and data that will fuel your next success. 2️⃣ Take Imperfect Action Now – Perfectionism is just procrastination in disguise. Instead of waiting for perfect systems or perfect timing, launch the simplified version, hire before you feel "ready," and treat everything as a data collection opportunity. 3️⃣ Ask Better Questions When You Feel Stuck – When the urge to quit feels overwhelming (which is normal!), ask yourself: "If quitting wasn't an option, what would I do next?" Then take that step, no matter how small, to maintain momentum.

How to Make Time for the Work That Actually Grows Your Business 31:18

Buried in Day-to-Day Tasks? Learn How Deep Work Sessions Can Boost Your Productivity and Business Results What if I told you that dedicating just one day a month to deep work could completely change your business trajectory? In this episode, I'm sharing why deep work – focused, distraction-free time for high-impact activities – is the key to making those strategic decisions that will truly grow your business! Too many entrepreneurs (myself included!) spend time reacting rather than intentionally designing their business growth. I remember spending almost a year in reaction mode – something happened, I fixed it, something else happened, I troubleshooted...and I promise you, it was not my best revenue year! In this episode, I walk you through my clear framework for making deep work a habit and share real examples of how it's revolutionized my business – from creating an amazing leadership team to making tough decisions about downsizing. These weren't always comfortable choices, but they've absolutely set my business up to thrive. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Deep Work Creates Clarity – When you remove distractions, you can make those important decisions with confidence! It's all about working ON your business, not IN it – that's how you know you're doing it right. 2️⃣ One Day a Month is a Game Changer – Imagine 12 strategic work days in a year. They add up, especially since most of us never make time for this! You don't have time for deep work – you MAKE time for it. 3️⃣ Your Environment Matters – If you feel distracted at home (or tempted to take a nap – no judgement!), change your location. Set boundaries with your team, turn off notifications, and avoid "fake productivity" that keeps you in the weeds.

Identifying Your Unique Success Markers (That Aren't Tied To Revenue) with Tara McMullin 58:45

58:45

Feeling Like Success Has to Equal Exhaustion? Discover How to Scale Your Business Without Sacrificing What Matters Most If you've ever felt like quitting your business, you're not alone! In this episode, I sit down with author and host of the What Works podcast, Tara McMullin, to explore how to create a business that truly supports the life you want. Tara has been challenging conventional business wisdom for over 16 years and brings a refreshing approach to success, productivity, and growth. She explains why focusing solely on revenue goals can lead to burnout, how to honor your actual capacity, and the importance of defining success on your own terms. We dive into why saying "no" might be your most powerful business strategy, how to escape the validation spiral that keeps you overcommitted, and the transformative difference between being "busy" and being "squeezed." HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Your Business Should Support Your Life – Start with your personal variables and non-negotiables first. Your business is a needs-meeting machine, and your needs as the business owner must come first. 2️⃣ Honor Your Capacity – We all have different capacities based on our available resources—time, money, emotional bandwidth, support networks, and skills. Before taking on new projects, ask: "Do I have what I need to do this well?" 3️⃣ Escape the Validation Spiral – Be cautious about constantly adding new commitments to feel valuable. This leads to depleted resources, underdelivering, and a spiral of taking on even more to compensate.

The real, unfiltered truths about chasing your first million dollars—and why it’s not what you think. If I could go back in time and sit down with the Amy who was chasing her first million dollars, this is the conversation I would have with her. And guess what? It’s not what you might expect. Reaching the million-dollar milestone in business is often seen as the ultimate achievement, but what happens when you get there?

Whether you’re on your way to your first six figures or scaling beyond seven, this episode will help you redefine success on your terms. Here Are The 3 Key Takeaways From This Episode 1️⃣ There Is Nothing Wrong with Wanting to Make a Bunch of Money Owning your ambition unapologetically makes you a more confident leader, marketer, and decision-maker. When you shrink your money goals, you shrink your business. 2️⃣ My Biggest Fear Was Losing Money—But I Wish I Had Taken Bigger Risks Fear of loss holds so many of us back from making bold moves, investing in our businesses, or taking big leaps.
