On this week’s podcast, you get to listen in on a typical chat between me and Josh Kreitzman, my friend and business partner. I’ve been frustrated lately listening to some painful stories from business owners and friends. It seems that so many people aren’t listening to advice or even asking for it. Josh and I just sat down and talked, and we invite you to listen in. We share some opinions about self-employment as a fad in recent years and how so much content tells everyone they can be their own...

I'm noticing that a lot of business owners that I've been talking to need me to take them by the shoulders very firmly and remind them of who they are. I want to remind you of who you are because your confidence matters greatly to your ability to make sales and build wealth in your business. Allow me to present you with some truths to remind you of who you are so that we can take your confidence up a couple of levels. Let's do a confidence check-in. On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the most, ho...

Have you ever wanted to hear the behind-the-scenes, the real results, nothing that is hyped up, glitzy, and glamorous? As we closed out 2022 we recorded more than a dozen case stories of women from The Bold Profit Academy because I noticed exactly this trend. You wanted to know what it looks like to get results as a mom with kids, as a single person with no partner involved with maybe working a full-time job and doing it on the side. You wanted to start hearing from some of these typical results...

We are doing a special series, a case study series on the women who are in The Bold Profit Academy and we are doing this to bring you the real tangible, not fluffed over, not glitzed and glamored results that real experts like you who are listening or watching this now are really interested in getting. Some of these results are going to be really amazing big results and some of them might seem a little smaller but they are all valuable and important on your journey as a small business owner. I'm...

If you have been around a while, you may or may not know that I start the year, the first quarter of the year planting seeds. We take the women in The Bold Profit Academy through this in our Revenue Acceleration Curriculum. We're talking all about finding leads even though they feel like they might not have any and really planting those seeds. One of the ways that I plant these seeds, and I encourage the women in The Bold Profit Academy to do this, is to have listening calls. I have free calls w...

My first podcast episode of every year is really about setting the intention, setting my intention for the year. That's what this podcast is all about because I value your time, your energy, and money in a noisy world where we have 26 seconds to capture attention, you being here is not lost on me. If you're like me, you might have been noticing your capacity isn't what it once was. My family who got sick three times, three of us actually, I don't know how much dirt my son must have eaten in his ...

I want to talk about the concept of an online business. As we're kicking off the new year, as new folks have been finding us, as many of you are deciding on the direction that you want to take your business, whether you are excited about that or whether you are frustrated by it, I think this episode is actually going to be really helpful for you. I think it's a good time for me to say I don't believe in the concept of online business. I'm going to share why. Get your Revenue Goal Calculator - ht...

I’m SOOOO excited to talk about goals with you today BECAUSE I usually avoid talking about them. As someone who has studied goal setting pretty extensively, I get frustrated and ranty listening to how some people teach goal setting. But I love goals and I think I’ve gotten to the point in my own personal growth that I can add some serious value to this conversation without being judgy, snarky, or ranty – or too academic. I will also admit that I work with A LOT of people who are let’s say – goal...

This year we're running a special series with our clients around having them tell their story. We're doing case stories of what it looks like to actually tangibly realistically succeed in a year or in a period of time because not everybody who has come on has been with us for a full year. We're really looking to show the honest and transparent results that people get no matter how big or how small they are and really unpack what was going on in their business when they decided to ask for help be...

This process is the anti-budget for all of you who might struggle to budget, save, and invest your money. It is the antidote to scarcity thinking and survival mode, which I know all too much about from our earliest days as business owners way back in 2005 with our first business, where we suffered, we were in survival mode during the great recession and then ultimately went bankrupt. Working through that and coming to a place where I was able to start this business, provide for my family, hire a...

I am so pumped for this podcast episode. This is going to be the crowning jewel of my career as a podcaster. I'm talking about, legitimately, my favorite damn topic in the world. We are talking about saving money. The only thing that I love more than making money is saving money. I've got some thoughts for you. This is an episode that has an assignment. You need to do the assignment. I call them experiments in The Bold Profit Academy . This is going to be an experiment that you need to do. You n...

I am joined by my dear friend and my sister from another mister, Diann Wingert in this episode. She is a therapist by training and a coach by choice and we are both ADHDers, so I want to have a conversation with Diann today about the intersection of ADHD-like traits, of distractibility, impulsivity, and entrepreneurship.

I'm really excited today. I'm here with my friend, Charlie Gilkey. He is really in the top 10 of my favorite people in the world. He is the owner of Productive Flourishing and he is an author. He's got books called The Small Business Lifecycle and Start Finishing. Charlie and I have decided he is gracing me with his presence very generously to bring you some bold truths that I think are very much needed. Together we’re talking about… How high performance and high achievement are different (and w...

In today's podcast, I'm chatting with Danielle Levy and I know you might find this shocking but... She was super skeptical about me. As someone who had been burned before, she was looking for reasons to not let her guard down. And I don't blame her When Danielle transitioned into self-employment, she had invested in a mastermind to find the support and coaching that she needed to set the strong foundations for her business success. Danielle was seeking a container with real women experts where s...

I am going a little Maverick on us. Every so often I get a wild hair idea something that I want to talk about, I just flip on the mic, and I go for it. Then my wing woman, Stacey Harris from Uncommonly More has to figure out where she's going to fit this into the content blocks and figure out how she's going to restructure our content plan. Like they say in Top Gun, “I am writing checks. My body can't cash right now.” We are going to go a little Maverick and we're going to have a good time doing...

I'm coming in here today with a big flex. I don't usually do this. I don't usually flex a lot, but I gotta tell you, I think I'm going to start doing that more often. How do you grow your podcast 44% in one year? Maybe even more importantly, how do you grow a podcast 69% during a two-year period with a global pandemic, at a time where big tech has never been more volatile, at a time where more people are complaining about the algorithms on social media, that their marketing isn't working, that w...

Today we are covering what it looks like to pay yourself at the various stages of business, and really there's no one way to do this at all. But what I think would be helpful is if maybe I share with you my journey and my experience paying myself at these different levels, so maybe that jogs something for you. Maybe it elicits some curiosity, a question, a different way to think about things, or what have you. Get your Revenue Goal Calculator - https://theboldleadershiprevolution.com/revenue-goa...

Before we even get started, I want to share that all of these conversations that we have around money are intended with the purpose of making money, money goals, financial planning, business finance relatable, making it attainable, making these conversations judgment free, shame free, blame free, all the free. These podcast episodes are to really bring you an energetically neutral frame for talking about money. Today we're talking about the difference between CEO pay and profit; two really impor...

Today we are talking about the number one reason why businesses fail, yes, the number one reason why businesses fail. Did you know that 82% of businesses fail due to poor cash flow? That is the conversation for today: what is cash flow? I want to share why I'm here with you today having this conversation, and why I'm here with you every single week. We have been podcasting since October 2017. That is five years that we have been showing up here with the intention of reducing your financial overw...

In today's episode, we're talking about the difference between revenue and income. We're going to talk about how Profit First can help you with figuring out revenue and income. This is a common mistake that we make: using terms of revenue and income interchangeably. They are not interchangeable. I'm going to tell you what revenue is. I'm going to tell you what income is. Then I'm going to tell you to forget about your income. I'm going to want you to focus on something else instead. Get your Rev...

Are you one of the 73% of Gen X women who say that their financial situation keeps them up at night? That's a staggering number. Of millennials, 77% of them are reporting that they're up at night because of their finances. Those are staggering numbers. Men tell me that women don't want to learn about financial literacy because it's not sexy enough. Yet when I meet women, and we talk about money, they all say they want to increase their financial literacy. Sounds like one more area that we might ...

Today I'm talking about why I talk about money, and we're going to lead into a series of episodes that are more around financial literacy and well-being than, say tips, tricks. Maybe I'm not talking a lot about sales or some of the other things I talk about. This is just pure money talk week after week after week. Make sure you tune back in for the next few weeks as these roll out. Some of the topics might seem a little dry. However, they are things that you want to know because you are asking m...

What comes first, impact or income? Today we're talking about how your impact and your income are in an equation together. Some of you might be getting this flipped the wrong way around, upside down, turned around, and we are going to clarify impact and income today in our conversation. Now, I have no intention of talking you out of your desire to make a meaningful contribution to the world. As a matter of fact, I want you to have the biggest impact that you want. I know it's possible when women...

Worrying about the economy? Struggling to make sales? Been in business for a while but you feel like you're going backward? Then this episode is for you. Three themes that have been present in my conversations with experts running service-based businesses have been “What was working doesn't seem to be working anymore”, “I don't know what's going on with my target audience but something has shifted” “I'm spending more of my time searching indeed for the perfect job.” If you have said (or thought)...

We've been indoctrinated to believe and desire an inbox full of sales and inquiries to work with us. The way we think that needs to happen is by having more and more people join our list, that the way we're going to drive that traffic is through all of these fads around reels or whatever the heck they're doing these days. If you are a service-based business that sells premium services, we don't need more volume to grow your revenue. Get your Revenue Goal Calculator - https://theboldleadershiprev...

I am so excited to be here today with my very, very dear friend Jacquette Timmons. Jacquette has been on this podcast before. I love having Jacquette on here just to have conversations with a different perspective and with greater nuance. Jacquette is a financial behaviorist. She has been doing this for a very long time. She has weathered, I remember us talking about, Jacquette, how you had weathered the 1987 crash when you were working in private banking. Jacquette had said to me the other day ...

Meg is one of my absolutely diehard favorite humans and we work together in my business. I hired Meg and her team to support us with SEO strategy. I know there are a lot of women in The Bold Profit Academy who are also delighted with her expertise in generating leads away from social media. Who doesn't like the thought of being away ...

This is going to be for you if you're experiencing decision fatigue or inertia because you aren't making decisions. I had a client come to me this week and they were feeling really wobbly and a little bit directionless, and they wanted to know what they needed to do next. I said, “You don't need to actually do anything next. You need to make decisions.” This is a big thing for business owners and this is going to help you beat back that decision fatigue, make clearer decisions, be less distracte...
