1 What to Do When You Know You’re Meant for More (But Don’t Know What That Is): Part 2 with Tracy Matthews 26:14
You know that feeling when you’re meant for more... but you have no effing clue what that more actually looks like? Tracy Matthews has been there, done that, got the t-shirt, and has been a repeat visitor. And lucky for us, she’s spent decades figuring out the art of reinvention.

What's Inside This Episode: Tracy’s three-step reinvention framework – and how she’s used it five times to pivot successfully How to know if your next step is actually aligned – or if you’re just playing it safe The identity shift required for every big reinvention (and why most people resist it) Why she believes every reinvention requires an ‘ego death’ – and what that actually means How to bring your audience along when you’re pivoting (without confusing or losing them) Why she’s obsessed with helping creatives become financially wealthy (and what that looks like) The one question she asks herself before making any major shift in business The real reason she’s pivoting her business model – even though her current one is still working What she hopes her legacy will be – and how she’s designing her next chapter to reflect that About Tracy: Tracy Matthews is a Creativity, Branding, and Reinvention Expert, a Best-Selling Author, and the Host of the Top-Rated Thrive By Design Podcast.

1 Burnout, Descaling, Reinvention, and What Happens When Success Stops Feeling Right: Part 1 with Tracy Matthews 36:27
We talk a lot about scaling in the business world – growing bigger, reaching further, making more. But what happens when you realize that bigger isn’t actually better for you anymore? Enter Tracy Matthews. After decades of running multiple seven-figure businesses, she found herself at a crossroads: stay on the path of relentless growth, or embrace a radical shift – *de*scaling. In this candid conversation, Tracy shares her journey of stepping back so she can move forward in a way that aligns with her next evolution. What's Inside This Episode: The surprising way burnout showed up for Tracy – and why it wasn’t just about overworking How to break out of the ‘wait and see’ trap that stalls business owners from making decisions The moment of truth that made Tracy realize she was serving her business more than it was serving her The key distinction between scaling back and strategically descaling to create more alignment How the pursuit of scaling at all costs created an unintentional bottleneck in her business The sneaky way fear of past failures shaped her decisions (without her even realizing it) What it means to build a business from joy instead of trauma—and how she’s shifting her approach What she wants every entrepreneur to know about recognizing when it’s time to change About Tracy: Tracy Matthews is a Creativity, Branding, and Reinvention Expert, a Best-Selling Author, and the Host of the Top-Rated Thrive By Design Podcast.

She built her business as a top-tier conversion copywriter, crafting high-converting sales pages and launch copy for clients. But after years of juggling done-for-you services while growing her family (baby #3 is due any day!), she realized she wanted a business model that was more... kiddo + lifestyle friendly. So she made the leap into digital products. And spoiler alert: it paid off . In this episode, Elise breaks down exactly how she replaced her client work with profitable digital products like templates and courses, the tweaks that made her funnels actually convert, and why she thinks more people need to stop overcomplicating online sales. What’s Inside This Episode: The real reason Elise moved from services to digital products (it wasn’t just about scaling) The first product she sold – and the surprising tweak that doubled her conversion rate from a $7 product How she repurposed old content to launch an incredibly successful low-ticket offer How Elise used Facebook ads to go from testing to consistent, growing revenue What to focus on first if you're new to selling digital products The mindset shift that made her finally commit to making this model work How she’s setting up her business for a stress-free maternity leave The exact tweaks she’s making next to scale her business even further Elise Hodge is a funnel strategist and conversion copywriter helping coaches and course creators make more sales from their live launches and evergreen funnels.

1 My Simple Funnel Formula for Predictable Sales in Today’s Market (without the Bro Marketing BS) 37:50
So, fun fact : If you’ve ever thought, “Ugh, funnels feel so bro-markety and sleazy,” you’re not alone. But here’s the thing – you already have a funnel, whether you call it that or not. The real question is… is it actually working for you? In this episode, I’m diving deep into what’s working in funnels right now (because let’s be real—so much of what used to work just… doesn’t anymore). I’m breaking down the three classic funnels that once ran the online business world, why they’re struggling today, and the one strategy I swear by that blends the best of evergreen, live launching, and low-ticket sales without the pushy sales tactics. If you want a funnel that feels aligned , converts better, and doesn’t make your audience roll their eyes, you’re in the right place. What’s Inside This Episode: The three funnels that dominated online marketing—and why they aren’t cutting it anymore What “bro marketers” got so wrong about funnels and how to build one that feels high-integrity instead of high-pressure The sneaky reason evergreen webinars aren’t converting like they used to Why live launches aren’t *dead* exactly... but they do need a serious refresh The big problem (and bigger future problem) with self-liquidating offers (SLOs) that is rarely talked about How to structure a funnel that nurtures your audience instead of shoving them into a sale The Invisible Sales Triggers that sell for you without gross persuasion tactics Resources mentioned in this episode: Learn more about The Evergreen Expert : where I'll show you how to build a high converting Value Add Funnel for your high ticket offer Connect with Adriane: Adriane's Instagram Visionaries' Instagram Adriane's LinkedIn Visit the Visionaries website ⭐️ Love this episode?

Toista Myöhemmin Toista Myöhemmin Listat Tykkää TykättyIs launching dead? In a market that more distrusting (and more distracted) than ever, many people seem to think that launching either no longer works or is no longer worth the effort of lower than ever show up and conversion rates. But as Shannon Matson notes, every time you look at the sun to the west, she's launching again – because it's working for her. But howwwwww?! *Shakes fist wildly at the sky* In this episode, I'm sitting down with Shannon to break down her insanely creative, Taylor Swift-inspired launch that brought in over $134K selling self-study courses in a market where that’s getting harder to do. Shannon's opening up her big, brilliantly strategic brain to share all the spicy deets on how she blended out-of-the-box approaches, with what felt authentic to her, with tried-and-true tactics in order to drive sales. Let’s get into it! What’s inside this episode: The strategic reason Shannon ran a 4-week "Eras Tour" themed launch with a surprise encore week Shannon's method for saving a ton of time while also boosting sales (that could help you launch back-to-back without burning out) The personalized approach Shannon used to access additional revenue she might have otherwise been leaving on the table What the market shift toward support and accountability means for your offers How to stand out in a saturated market without discounting your value How to use storytelling, pop culture trends, or whatever feels authentic to YOU to make your sales process unique, aligned, and effective About Shannon: With comprehensive experience in marketing and advertising, Shannon prides herself on helping others structure and market their businesses for exceptional growth. Her journey began in the corporate world where she held titles such as V.P. of Marketing for a global publishing company and National Director of Sales & Marketing for a fitness franchise.

Buckle up, because this episode is a cautionary tale about how I almost lost my Stripe account (no, but really!). I want to open up for full transparency around how I navigated the situation to get it back up and running – but also what I'm doing to be prepared if something like this were to ever happen again. Admittedly this is not exactly the sexiest topic... but I think it's a super important conversation to have because this is probably the most devastating thing that could happen to a business. What’s inside this episode: The day-by-day timeline of what happened and verbatim readings of the emails I received... because we love transparency ;) What I believe triggered Stripe to flag my account and a step-by-step account of what happened Why payment processors seem to be cracking down on coaching businesses and perceived risks The surprising words and practices that could get your account flagged (that basically everyone on the internet is doing) How I adjusted my offers and website to try and meet my understanding of compliance standards What I learned from losing my PayPal account back in 2021 and the differences between this process with PayPal and Stripe The payment processor(s) and checkout gateway(s) I'm using moving foward to keep my business protected *Disclaimer: I’m not an attorney, and this episode does not constitute legal advice.

When financial expert Alyssa Lang first set out in 2015 to do her bar patrons’ taxes, she quickly realized she preferred working with the business owners that owed money – meaning they were profitable – rather than the refund seekers. That realization was the catalyst for uncovering her true business superpower of 'using the right data to make the right decisions’ – and not, surprisingly, insta-tabulating the correct tip to add to a check – and she now works just 2-5 hours each week on the THREE 'accounting space’ advising firms she’s founded. Today she joins us for a candid and insightful conversation about how much she’s grown alongside her wildly successful businesses, her entrepreneurial compulsion to monetize everything ( can entrepreneurs even do sh*t for fun?! ), and the mission she’s on to increase the percentage of all 7-figure business owners who are women… which, if you’re wondering, currently stands at a measly 2%. Quick overview of what we cover: Alyssa's best financial strategy approach for anyone working in the course creating space, which she calls “ridiculously unpredictable” What happened professionally for her to realize she was more mission-driven than money-driven At what point Alyssa believes you should bring on a tax strategist or financial planner Alyssa's personal decision-making tree for when she pivoted from away from being an S-Corp Why it may not always be the best idea to get a one-stop-shop firm that does taxes, financial planning, and bookkeeping The realization she came to when her team got too big – and how the weaker players got weeded out Why she believes data is king, and how it can still create space for intuitive decision-making too Why many financial experts feel like therapists – and how they reconcile the emotion most women tie to making and spending money How she handles the problematic money mindset projections that land in her lap both personally and professionally About Alyssa: Alyssa Lang is a Financial Strategist, Bookkeeping Consultant, public speaker, podcast host, two-year nominee for Ignition’s Top 50 Women In Accounting, as well as the Founder of Magnetic Profits & Consulting, a financial advisory team for course creators, coaches, creatives and service providers as well as Workflow Queen, a consulting and educational company that has successfully served over 1000+ accountants and bookkeepers from around the world who are seeking to refine their workflows, systems and hire the right team members so they can run their firm with ease and better serve their clients.

1 Cease + Desists, How I Lost My Brand, Why I Disappeared for a Year, and the Start of a Comeback Story 46:33
Honey, I'm hooooome! Well hey, friend! It’s been a minute , hasn’t it? This episode is a little different because it’s just me catching you up on everything that’s happened over the last year (spoiler: it’s been a lot ). From rebranding to launching (and kinda tanking) a summit, to rediscovering my direction and passion, I’m sharing the messy, behind-the-scenes journey that led me to where I am today. I’m talking about walking away from what wasn’t aligned, rebuilding my business after what felt like a wildly long identity crisis, and finally embracing the things I’m like, really good at. Plus, I’m spilling all the tea on the evolution of this podcast, what’s next for Visionaries, and how I’m entering my Daily Sales Era (it’s a whole thing). Let’s catch up! What’s inside this episode: Why I walked away from a huge part of my business and went through (what felt like) pivot after pivot after pivot What a cease-and-desist taught me about rebranding and resilience Why staying in alignment ultimately matters more to me than sticking to a business model My 'phoenix rising from the ashes moment' from turning a year of (what felt like) epic failure into ultimate clarity Creating a business that fuels your life *right NOW*, not the other way around What 2024 taught me about resilience, identity, and the art of the pivot Why Visionaries is the brand I’ve been waiting to build all along Connect with Adriane: Adriane's Instagram Visionaries' Instagram Adriane's LinkedIn Visit the Visionaries website ⭐️ Love this episode?

1 The 3 Biggest Lies You’re Told About Moving From Coaching + Done-For-You Work Into Passive Revenue 19:26
When you are a coach or DFY service provider working with smaller groups of people, it can be really tempting to move towards passive revenue generation opportunities. For the love, DON’T. The main problem with this advice? It’s being doled out by people who are motivated to sell you straight up LIES. Today we’re taking on three of the biggest offenders we’re hearing, and debunking them all the way down to their deceptive origins – and then offering you a bit of sound advice instead. Quick overview of what we cover: The main reason why passive products will NEVER solve your ‘time for dollars’ problem Why a very specific segment of the market is no longer buying courses Why ‘if you build it, they will come’ is – at best – terribly untrue What you need to demonstrate for 6-12 months before even considering passive revenue products The ONLY thing that solves a revenue ceiling problem Why passive revenue is never…actually…passive (womp womp) The absolute hardest thing to sell right now (and what to do if you’re in the midst of launching this) The biggest way the market has shifted between 2021 and now (and how to use your own data to predict your success with weathering this change) The relevance of your audience size (and the best ways to build, borrow, buy, or bedazzle your own) What you yearly earnings need to be to even consider passive revenue models The first thing to work on, starting NOW, if you know you absolutely want to add passive revenue generation…eventually RESOURCES: Click here to apply for a Growth Strategy Call Click here to apply for a Soulpreneur revenue-based scholarship Learn about Adriane's Partnership Model 1:1 Consulting LET’S CONNECT: Connect with Adriane on LinkedIn @adrianegalea Follow Adriane on Instagram @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?

Toista Myöhemmin Toista Myöhemmin Listat Tykkää TykättyToday’s episode concludes a fascinating and FUN series of conversations with the women of Terzakis and Associates by bringing this mother/daughter duo together to speak candidly about what has made their micro-small business consulting firm work…and what hasn’t. They beautifully describe the intentional work it took to cultivate a productive symbiosis between Susan’s strategist mind (always finding a way to land and drawing excitement in figuring it out as she went) and Jessica’s empirical nature reminding her to “Hang on, there may be a better way than just ‘being okay at the end of the day.'" Much to our benefit, they offer their journey towards forming the ultimate Visionary/Integrator partnership here as a hand held out to inspire those of us seeking to find that special business someone, too. Friends, this is one not to be missed! Quick overview of what we cover: How Susan – with her impressive business background, experience, and foresight – actively encourages Jessica’s “lasso” for her ideas How Jessica – with her impressive fact-finding/operational talent – actively protects Susan’s space to dream big How they were able to transform their early working environment (chaotic whiplash, lighting off Jessica’s fact-finder radar like crazy and causing Susan immense overwhelm) into the extraordinary dynamic they have now Their unique approach to counteract the periods of inertia that all businesses experience Why they believe it’s healthy to ‘Thelma and Louise some stuff’ to alleviate boredom (not to flirt with risk, but to seek opportunity and deepen their experiences as businesswomen) Why “How can I be my subcontractor’s best client?” is the smartest POV to get the most out of your relationship with contractors – for you both What led to this mic drop moment: “Those are thieves in the night sent by ego - don’t let it take more from you than what it already has.” RESOURCES: Listen to Part 1 of this series HERE , and part 2 HERE Click here to apply for a Growth Strategy Call Click here to apply for a Soulpreneur revenue-based scholarship LET’S CONNECT: Connect with Adriane on LinkedIn @adrianegalea Follow Adriane on Instagram @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co CONNECT WITH SUSAN + JESSICA: Connect with Terzakis & Associates on Facebook Visit their website: terzakisandassociates.com/ Download the eBook: 7 Things to Stop Doing So You Can Grow Your Business ABOUT TERZAKIS & ASSOCIATES: Susan and Jessica Terzakis are Women Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) champions and the mother-daughter duo at the heart of Terzakis & Associates, a micro-small business advising firm. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?

Jessica Terzakis – the ‘Integrator’ half of the dynamic mother+daughter duo that run Terzakis and Associates – jumps into the conversation today about how she was able to shed her W2 mentality as a master-educated high-school teacher and fully embrace her new COO identity in all things entrepreneurship. Jessica details her beginnings as task-master extraordinaire to where she is now, performing as a bonafide business strategist responsible for creating new revenue opportunities and growing their brand.

Quick overview of what we cover: Why “ You can do whatever you want with your time !” was initially too much freedom for Jessica’s W2 trained employee-brain (and how long it took her to shed that mindset) The meaning behind why she started calling her mom ‘Susan’ The lightbulb moment Jessica had when her mom casually remarked, “You sure ask a lot of questions” How Jessica was able to put her love of learning design to use to help explore new revenue opportunities How they use the Kolbe-A assessment and the Unique Brilliance Quadrant to help mentor both their team and their business clients Why learning how to present your ideas and opportunities to your COO is just as important as the idea itself to get it off the ground Which kinds of mother/daughter business duos work in Jessica’s opinion (and which don’t!)

Making 5 figures each month as a service provider can feel extremely unattainable – but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. In fact, there are many ways to bring in $20k (or more!) each month. The trick is being able to leverage your time as a solopreneur… This episode lays out three clear paths towards making consistent 5-figure months – getting you that much closer to doing more of the work that brings you joy…and helping you to avoid the time-sucking pitfalls that can trap you along the way. Quick overview of what we cover: Why it’s a rookie mistake to build out your product suite Why it’s an even rookie-er mistake to chase passive income before you’re established Why going ‘mini-agency’ in lieu of ‘full agency’ is a lucrative and logical shortcut What usually happens when you go really narrow/niche on what you’re selling How to conceptualize a ‘VIP day’ (and why it’s a super straightforward way to bring in cash) How to position yourself towards a much more sophisticated buyer (and how to know when you’re advanced enough in your craft + messaging to deliver on this) How to be a total total rockstar and capitalize productivity rates by combining all three of these paths RESOURCES: Click here to apply for a Growth Strategy Call Click here to apply for a Soulpreneur revenue-based scholarship Learn about Adriane's Partnership Model 1:1 Consulting LET’S CONNECT: Connect with Adriane on LinkedIn @adrianegalea Follow Adriane on Instagram @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?

Since starting this podcast, we have received hundreds of pitches. Out of those hundreds, we have only said yes to ONE pitch – because the rest have... fallen flat. In this episode, Adriane isn't holding back with the four primary reasons most pitches don't land – and at least one of these things you're probably doing because you think it's helping your pitch. If you're looking to land guest podcast spots, this is the episode that will help you with what to do... and what not to do. Quick overview of what we cover: How to apply what we're talking about to ANY medium you might be looking to pitch – stages, digital or print media, etc The type of energy you definitely DON'T want to lead with (but probably are) What almost every pitch fails to do that's very likely leading you to an automatic no The most basic effort you need to make before pitching The 4 B's of generating visibility and leads – and which one guesting on podcasts fits into How you can spin the exact same content, but differently for each show to strengthen your pitch tenfold Why it's never about you when you pitch – it is always about them Why it's important to understand that most producers (of podcasts, events, etc) are getting more pitches than they can say yes to RESOURCES: Click here to apply for a Growth Strategy Call Click here to apply for a Soulpreneur revenue-based scholarship LET’S CONNECT: Connect with Adriane on LinkedIn @adrianegalea Follow Adriane on Instagram @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?

Frequency. Resonance. Alignment. Manifestation. Visualization. Quantum Leaps?! Okay, so these terms might not be what jump out at you as the kind of things that millionaires value, but rest assured, they are very much discussed in 7-figure circles. Today’s episode brings together two very special occasions – Adriane’s Birthday AND the 100th episode of this podcast! 🎉 Milestones are a great time to shake things up – and Part 2 gets all into the messy, woo-laden methodology needed to retrain your brain into believing that ‘being a millionaire’ is already yours. Quick overview of what we cover: A crash course in quantum physics, chemistry, and astrophysics Why ‘woo’ is really just ‘mindset,’ and vice versa Why you’re seeing the term “quantum leap” show up everywhere in business now (and what it actually means) What the things you notice about what others have (that you don’t) tell you and how to channel this observation into positive action Why no successful, balanced person will ever judge you for wanting more – and why they’ll only encourage you to do THIS Practical steps you can take to create alignment between what you want and who you are The actual time is takes to realistically break behavior patterns and retrain your brain PS - Adriane wants one thing for her bday, and it’s for YOU to leave a 5⭐️ review and share this episode…but only if you loved it as much as we loved making it for you! ✨ LISTEN TO PART ONE OF THE SERIES HERE ✨ RESOURCES: Click here to apply for a Growth Strategy Call Click here to apply for a Soulpreneur revenue-based scholarship LET’S CONNECT: Connect with Adriane on LinkedIn @adrianegalea Follow Adriane on Instagram @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co Connect with Adriane: Adriane's Instagram Visionaries' Instagram Adriane's LinkedIn Visit the Visionaries website ⭐️ Love this episode?

Mindset work and manifestation practices (like, actual scientifically-credible manifestation practices) are powerful tools when you have “become a millionaire” on your life’s vision board. Here’s where things can get a little messy, though. And that’s because… Doing hard work isn’t always going to get you the thing you want – especially if that thing includes ‘break 7-figures’ – and even more so if attempted under the guise of “fake it until you make it.” Which is, unfortunately, a lot of what manifesting + mindset work gets (incorrectly) boiled down to. As we lead up to the BIG 100th episode, join Adriane for her signature take on manifestation and “millionaire mindset” work - it’s unlike any you’ve ever heard. Included are some very practical steps you can start taking action on today, plus a few outside-the-box thoughts to chew on along the way. Quick overview of what we cover: If you want to change your reality, you need to start with your brain How to ‘find the story in your data’ to achieve the thing you desire What changes for you when you go from being interested in something… to being committed to it Doing the hard work doesn’t get you the thing you want – doing the right thing does (and coaches / courses / mentors / biz investments are best used to help figure out those ‘right things’) If you’ve been plateaued, it’s not because the decisions you’re making have been wrong – you’ve just not been ready to make them If you can’t seem to figure (* gestures wildly* ) all this out, it’s most likely not an intelligence problem…it’s a self-image problem How to get back on track if your gut instincts about success have been overshadowed by a compulsion to show up and look a certain way ✨ LISTEN TO PART TWO OF THE SERIES HERE ✨ RESOURCES: Click here to apply for a Growth Strategy Call Click here to apply for a Soulpreneur revenue-based scholarship LET’S CONNECT: Connect with Adriane on LinkedIn @adrianegalea Follow Adriane on Instagram @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co Connect with Adriane: Adriane's Instagram Visionaries' Instagram Adriane's LinkedIn Visit the Visionaries website ⭐️ Love this episode?

“Thanks for coming to my TED talk,” says every hopeful public speaker ever… But have you ever wondered what goes into appearing on an actual TED stage? The loss of both of his parents at a young age attached a sense of urgency to how Steve Corney views – and values – leaving a legacy behind for those that love us. The way in which he combined this very personal experience with his professional expertise as a digital learning expert – one who truly understands the power that audio + video recordings hold – is a powerful and transformative lesson for anyone looking to leverage their impact and expand their brand into public speaking. In part 2 of our ‘Building Your Business with Speaking’ series, Steve details exactly how he prepared for, executed, and ultimately landed a coveted spot in an upcoming TEDx event! Plus – stay tuned to the end of today’s episode to find out how to get your hands on the public speaking assets that Steve and Adriane are cooking up! Quick overview of what we cover: Forget about your greenroom requests – nailing a TEDx spot is more about following the rules and guidelines set forth by the event and way less about who you think you are (in other words, “Don’t make it easy for them to say ‘no’ to you!) How to prioritize these important elements of the audition: keeping to time, linking your story/topic to the event's theme, avoiding a trauma dump on the audience, holding the crowd’s attention How to use clues from the application to choose a universally applicable topic Why commercializing any aspect of your talk is a huge red flag (remember, TEDx is about Big Ideas not Big Money) Steve’s incredulity that 50% of those auditioning with him committed this major faux pas The most important aspects of nailing public speaking when you’ve gotten very reliant on video editing The importance of branding as a public speaker – plus, the checklist we recommend for the minimum needed to step up to the public speaker plate... and be taken seriously CHECK OUT STEVE + ADRIANE'S PROJECT: Click here to join the FREE Speaker Growth Networking Facebook community Click here to get our guide on Pitching, Auditioning for, and Landing a TEDx Talk Follow us on Instagram: @speakergrowthhub RESOURCES: Click here to apply for a Growth Strategy Call Click here to apply for a Soulpreneur revenue-based scholarship LET’S CONNECT: Connect with Adriane on LinkedIn @adrianegalea Follow Adriane on Instagram @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co CONNECT W/ STEVE: Follow Steve on Instagram: @steve_corney Connect with Steve on LinkedIn: @thisisstevecorney Connect with Adriane: Adriane's Instagram Visionaries' Instagram Adriane's LinkedIn Visit the Visionaries website ⭐️ Love this episode?

Speaking and communication (and possessing the presentation skills to do both effectively), make up both the original and final frontiers of brand growth. In part 1 of a two-part series, Adriane + Steve reunite to discuss how they pulled the rug out from under their up-until-recent collab plans, in lieu of some unexpected, yet compelling detours: a series of live events that Adriane is planning, and Steve's upcoming TEDx talk! This episode covers how each approach public speaking and the essential ingredients needed to make an audience go from, "Cool story, bruh," to "Damnnnnn...tell me more!" Quick overview of what we cover: A pulse check on the course-creation and coaching industry as it stands now, and how potential clients can be uniquely accessed via public speaking How Steve has blended his learning design and facilitator backgrounds into a deep understanding of using his speaker voice Why effective and impactful public speaking goes WAY beyond 'intro...body...conclusion' frameworks The venues where it's better to feed off the audience and 'wing it' vs. the places where that strategy will run you straight into the ground How to best utilize speaking coaches, voice exercises...and Dr. Suess to sharpen your presentation skills The one thing to be super clear on for everything else to fall into place The important distinctions between keynotes, "lunch-and-learns," and TEDx talks How the mundane makes us human -- and why that's sometimes a more powerful reminder than life-changing anecdotes How to sense your audience's 'enough point' (aka, the critical precipice where a lot of stories (and storytellers) go wrong) Why great presenters speak from the scars and not from the wounds Can't wait for part 2??

It's no secret that 2023 was a doozy for a lot of people. If you want to set yourself up to have a more lucrative, more profitable, more impactful year in 2024, I've compiled a list of 7 things I'd argue you NEED to be aware of this year. (One of them... I'm really not happy to admit!) Quick overview of what we cover: Why the lead time to convert clients is taking longer and will continue to take longer unless you do this ONE thing The possibilities of AI outpacing [insert your industry here] and how to keep yourself relevant and in demand The 3 things you MUST be able to do to create converting content moving forward The biggest regrets I have around the way I've developed my businesses over the last few years – that I'm going to prioritize in 2024 How there is a lot of grey area around the way people are actually talking about profit margins The biggest asset I'd encourage you to develop this year if you ever want to grow a BIG business or be able to pivot in the future Why I believe there's one thing that's going to dominate (again) this year that will likely be your #1 propeller of growth My assignment to you to take yourself outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to do this at least once per quarter RESOURCES: Click here to apply for a Growth Strategy Call Click here to apply for a Soulpreneur revenue-based scholarship LET’S CONNECT: Connect with Adriane on LinkedIn @adrianegalea Follow Adriane on Instagram @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?

So many people have recently been sharing with me that they've been stuck at a certain revenue level for months, if not years now. Revenue plateaus are extremely common, not just in the earlier stages of business, but all throughout their lifecycle. And I want to talk today about how you can break through your revenue plateau if this is something you're experiencing. Note: the URL I spoke to download the private podcast was incorrect if you'd like to access it 🙈 It is actually soulpreneur.co/secret ! Quick overview of what we cover: Why scaling is kind of like breaking your business because you have to shatter the ceiling you've hit Which revenue levels you're mostly likely to hit a plateau at The difference between scaling, skating, or structuring and how I've been in a "structuring" phase Why every person, based on their own expertise, will give you a different solution you NEED to focus on in order to scale... and how they're all kind of right, but it misses the actual point How the 7 Pillars of Scaling always relate back to your plateau or bottleneck How operational capacity works kind of like adding additional stories onto your house The power off systems and how they will *aaaalmost* always solve your plateau or bottleneck RESOURCES: Click here to access the private Scale Your Service podcast to learn what you can do TODAY to break through your time-for-dollars ceiling Click here to apply for a Growth Strategy Call Click here to apply for a Soulpreneur revenue-based scholarship EPISODES MENTIONED: Episode 68 - Passive Income Series Part 1: The Most Important Things to Know Before You Start (That No One Tells You) Episode 84 - 7 Key Areas of Excellence to Get to 7 Figures (The 7 Pillars of Scaling) LET’S CONNECT: Connect with Adriane on LinkedIn @adrianegalea Follow Adriane on Instagram @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?

Welcome baaaack, Scaling Loungers! After a holiday hiatus, it feels so good to be back behind the mic and chatting to you again about all things business. Today we're easing back down the road with an update on what's happened since the last episode – and how I navigated some tricky times (like most service business owners – especially coaches – in 2023) The biggest topic of conversation is certainly about a BIG change I've made to my overall business model – both in sunsetting a large component of my business and in taking on a completely new structure for working with clients. Everyone has looked at me cross-eyed when I've told them what I'm doing, but nothing has felt better. So let's get to it! Quick overview of what we cover: How 2023 was... messy ... for a lot of business owners Navigating tough times and cash flow conundrums When to know it's time to let things go and move on and my non-sciency but tried-and-true barometer for making decisions The pricing struggle that's real Why I'm embracing partnership and taking on a (risky) change in my business model Why the thing everyone has said I'm crazy to do is absolutely what feels the best to me RESOURCES: Click here to apply for a Growth Strategy Call Click here to apply for a Soulpreneur revenue-based scholarship LET’S CONNECT: Connect with Adriane on LinkedIn @adrianegalea Follow Adriane on Instagram @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?

The word “scaling” is thrown around a lot, and I want to talk about what this means and what this looks like if you are a service provider – so if you’re a web designer, copywriter, interior decorator, astrology chart reader, accountant, lawyer, and I’d also add consultant to this list. We’re going to be covering the six ways you could scale your business as a service provider, which includes moving to an agency model, outsourcing SOME of the work in more of a mini-agency model, developing a retainer model, going e-commerce by creating a template shop, or transitioning into coaching or course creation. I’m also going to go into my perspective on when the right time to make one of these shifts would be, things you need to keep in mind about scaling, and how to not burn yourself out with whatever you choose to do. Quick overview of what we cover: The six pivots you can make as a service provider to create scalability The pros and cons of each model and making intentional decisions based on what you want so you don't burn out How to know when it's the right time to start thinking about scaling Common misconceptions around scaling you should know RESOURCES: Click here to join Sustainable Growth Lab Click here to get on the waitlist for the January 2024 cohort of Scalable Foundations Accelerator Register for Predictably Profitable , the free training for 6+ figure service-based business owners LET’S CONNECT: Book a call to work with Soulpreneur to grow your business Follow Soulpreneur: @soulpreneur_co Follow Adriane @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?

Signing high-ticket clients FAST - every service-based biz owner's dream, right? And, it is possible. There are, in fac t, effective ways to speed up the buying process – even when closing high-ticket clients. But what no on e is talking about is how engaging in these kinds of short-cuts only tee you up for another set of challenges down the line. What will always be true is this: the only thing that speeds up the buying process is better marketing . This episode gets into the workarounds that circumvent this truth, and why they are hardly worth it in the long run. Quick overview of what we cover: What high ticket prospective buyers expect from your sales process that low-ticket buyers don’t Why fine-tuning your messaging, audience familiarity, and the way you communicate is the slowest of the fastest ways to convert prospective buyers - but always the way in which they’ll feel safest investing with you Why aiming for higher sales call volume almost always leads to less sales How to do less sales calls with more qualified buyers using friction points in your sales process (which almost always leads to more sales) Why closing the sales either comes from better marketing prior to the call…or a shady distortion of NLP techniques during it The three things every prospective buyer should know about you before getting on the phone Why higher quality clients who don’t burn you out, only come from higher quality leads in the first place Why fast closes will increase your attrition rate (the people who fall off/stop paying you) How high attrition rates lead to biz instability, inconsistent revenue, lower retention and referral rates, and…need we say more?

1 Engaging in Authentic Self-Expression for Alignment in Business, Self-Acceptance, and Personal Branding with Kari Russell 1:13:51

Toista Myöhemmin Toista Myöhemmin Listat Tykkää TykättyEnergetic Business Coach, Kari Russell, thrives off of helping women truly dig deep – and then feel safe in that vulnerable space – while getting in touch with the parts of themselves that many public-facing entrepreneurs work for years trying to mask. An expert in authentic self-expression, Kari’s own journey into goal-setting and leadership coaching has taken a path familiar to most small biz owners (up, down, and all around), along with a few unexpected detours (discovering the value of triggering herself with spicy romances to the extent that she now uses the genre as a medium to provoke her clients in the same way). Let’s just say, when our convo reached the ‘spicy romance’ point, we – ahem – lingered there until we both felt well satisfied. 😉 Quick overview of what we cover: Kari’s time as a goal coach at Lululemon and how that ignited her lifelong passion for goal-setting work The importance (especially for women entrepreneurs) of releasing shame, guilt, masks and the masks we wear as we build and market businesses How Kari was finally able to step into her truest self-expression and self-acceptance, using Human Design How she reconciled the startling personal realization that Human Design better served her as a tool of self-understanding with her professional identity of being a Human Design expert/coach – and what happened to the biz connected to it Her beautiful way of speaking about how her business expanded during COVID lockdown – a time when many, many people experienced extreme hardship How she manages her extroverted nature working in a (mostly) virtual space and her go-to tools for self-regulation when she starts to idle uncomfortably high Why paying attention to our bodies’ reactions (and how our brains judge those reactions!) can teach us a LOT about the truth of ourselves. The moments of personal inauthenticity Kari views as huge gifts of awareness of where we need to do more work The connection, freedom, and impact Kari hopes to leave as her legacy gift in doing ‘business better’ and why it’s all grounded in S-EX RESOURCES: Click here to join Sustainable Growth Lab Click here to get on the waitlist for the January 2024 cohort of Scalable Foundations Accelerator Click here to register for the free training for 6+ figure service-based business owners CONNECT WITH KARI: Click here to connect with Kari on Instagram: @iamkarirussell Kari Russell is a Leadership and Energetic Business Coach, global leader in Self-Expression and host of the S-EX Talk Podcast. She is married with 2 children and lives in a small country town in Ontario, Canada where you’ll find her tanning on her deck reading spicy romance novels in the summer or submerged in her hot tub in the winter (while also reading spicy romance novels). Kari’s work focuses on fusing the psyche and the somatic to guide her clients in confronting and alchemizing their shadows and leveraging their authenticity to own who the f*ck they are in their branding and content to make a massive impact and build their business their way! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Connect with Adriane: Adriane's Instagram Visionaries' Instagram Adriane's LinkedIn Visit the Visionaries website ⭐️ Love this episode?

BOO! Today’s episode is a rundown of the spOoOOokiest things that can happen when you’re trying to grow your business. We’re talking ghosts…trolls (and not the cute kind)...and maybe the scariest of all – the myriad ways one can be rejected. Basically all the twists and turns that can sometimes feel like you’ve entered a haunted mansion of funhouse mirrors that all seem to deliver back an image of YOU as the potential scarefest source. (Spoiler alert - it’s almost always not about you, and what’s more, we’ve ALL been there.) Quick overview of what we cover: The perfect response to the “I need to talk this over with my partner” clients to avoid getting ghosted How to plan for the clients who stop paying and/or cancel their contracts that keeps integrity intact for you both How to decide between ‘bless and release’ or ‘block that bish’ when handling unfair refund requests Why a ‘rejection is protection’ mantra safeguards your tender heart when public roasts come typing after you Why trolls on your ads actually illuminate a path towards growth most business owners miss What to do if you’ve invested in something that, frankly…sucks Plus - a mini-masterclass on the best step to take when you’re running out of money and have no clients on the horizon 6 questions to ask yourself to discover if mindset is the cause of your Sunday (thru Sat) Scaries EPISODES REFERENCED: Episode 59 —> Realigning Your Business to Stay in Personal Integrity and Finding Energetic Business Success with Christine Michelle Episode 39 —> 4 Things to Know About Your Audience to Make Way More Sales RESOURCES: Click here to join Sustainable Growth Lab Click here to get on the waitlist for the January 2024 cohort of Scalable Foundations Accelerator Register for Predictably Profitable , the free training for 6+ figure service-based business owners LET’S CONNECT: Book a call to work with Soulpreneur to grow your business Follow Soulpreneur: @soulpreneur_co Follow Adriane @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?

Every business relies on sales and marketing to grow, period. Sometimes it’s as simple as saying “suck it up and find time to make it happen” and then sometimes…there’s more nuance involved. A recurring theme that comes up with my clients that gives me pause for how many other small business owners are probably living through it too is the struggle to find time to market and/or sell in their businesses. In this episode, we break down the best strategy to use – because whether you’re just starting out or you’re making 6+ figures consistently, there’s always room for improvement in facing challenges like this that like to reappear again and again. Quick overview of what we cover: The one stage of business where you must simply (and we say this with ❤️) “suck it up and make time” How to find the balance between serving existing clients and finding new ones What to do if you’re stuck in the pattern of “sign new client → cease all other sales+marketing efforts” How to know when it’s time to systemise, hire+delegate, automate, or contract out tasks How to reconcile the aspects of sales + marketing that don’t feel good to you RESOURCES: Click here to join Sustainable Growth Lab Click here to get on the waitlist for the January 2024 cohort of Scalable Foundations Accelerator Register for Predictably Profitable , the free training for 6+ figure service-based business owners LET’S CONNECT: Book a call to work with Soulpreneur to grow your business Follow Soulpreneur: @soulpreneur_co Follow Adriane @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?

The fact is, most businesses don’t get off the ground. Which begs the question - why does it work for some and not for others? Well, the bigger your business gets, the more complicated it becomes, and the more complicated your life as a business owner becomes, as well. And while almost everybody sets out wanting a seven-figure business – most people aren't willing to do the work that it takes to get there. In order to grow and scale, you must uncomplicate as much as humanly possible. Start here: putting in the work to develop excellence in the seven key areas required to grow a healthy, sustainable business that's working for you. Quick overview of what we cover: Why you’re better off applying for jobs than running a business if sales + marketing makes you uncomfortable Why the type of mindset work necessary to get your brain on board with growing a 7-figure business has nothing to do with manifestation or journaling and everything to do with mirrors How to tame your limiting ego and feed you expansive ego How you’re delivering your product matters as much as its quality What a healthy business is reliant upon (spoiler alert: it’s NOT you) Why great team members are necessary for increasing the impact your business has (rather than for the great work they do) Why developing a solid operational capacity is the key between functioning at the level you want to be known for, and then doing it at scale How to maneuver away from hiring ‘babysitters’ for your business and find awesome ‘co-parents’ instead Why so many business owners who are good at making money stink at keeping it (or spending it wisely) The two true boss strategy moves of serious CEOs PLUS - exciting FREE BONUS - click here if you would like Adriane's personalized business strategy take on where your business might be stalled out!

Toista Myöhemmin Toista Myöhemmin Listat Tykkää TykättyWhen it comes to the transference of knowledge to the learners in your programs and events, being a good facilitator is just as important (if not more so!) as being an expert in your field. The trick is, many experts feel like they’re doing a great job at facilitation when, in fact, they’re….not. Today we’re reviewing the mistakes you don’t even know you’re making when you’re ‘unconsciously competent’ at your craft. Engagement is such an important part of whether or not your learners are achieving the outcomes you’ve promised them - a HUGE factor in their decision to stick with you for the long-game. Listen in as Steve Corney walks us through an elevated learner engagement strategy designed to increase participation in events like you’ve never seen before – the holy grail that every course designer is after. Quick overview of what we cover: What to do when you ask for audience participation/engagement and it’s a no-go Why it’s short-sighted to assume that authority and thought leadership and unique perspective outweigh facilitator ability How to decide when to deliver content statically vs dynamically Why how you make your future learners feel in the beginning MATTERS a ton (your knowledge alone won’t cut it if you’re trying to sell something) How to use learner feedback to know whether you’re nailing the balance of expertise vs. facilitation The best vehicle to deliver info to prevent zoom fatigue How to use ‘signposting’ in your event to deliver a pitch with integrity What you can fall back on when your facilitator magic runs out The number one sign that gives away peak engagement The most strategic balance between teaching and engaging CHECK OUT STEVE + ADRIANE'S PROJECT: Click here to get on the waitlist for our program launch Follow us: @servicedrivenscaling LISTEN TO MORE EPISODES WITH STEVE: Episode 45 , How Bro Marketers Have Destroyed Digital Learning Episode 55 , Marketing With Integrity in a Post-Bropocalypse World Episode 63 , The 5 Elements of a Successful Digital Sales Event Funnel, Part 1 Episode 73 , Trust Isn't Enough to Sell Courses or Group Coaching Programs...

One year ago, I started a podcast. ( It’ll be FUN, they said!”) Initially attracted by the thought leadership and speaking aspects offered by this medium, what really appealed to me was finding a viable way to build a community and grow my business without relying on tons of social media support. And...it worked! That being said -- I could have done some things better. So, I'm using the occasion of our 1-year anniversary to pass along what I've learned along the way! Whether you have a podcast (or might be thinking about starting one), these are the 9 most important things hindsight has granted me full view of from 1 year in. A little mini-podcast masterclass, if you will, and a GIANT expression of my gratitude to everyone who has come, and stayed (and subscribed!). Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Quick overview of what we cover: Why learning the tech is the least of it all The three ways I went wrong with my launch strategy Why ‘clear is always better than clever’ when it comes to choosing show names and episode titles All the small details that make or break an episode’s (and really the show’s) success How to choose what kind of help you need to keep recording (and publishing!) consistently How to prepare for the slow growth that podcasts tend to track on How to use your audience behavior to shape your episodes Why guests are not going to help you the way that you think they might How to reverse engineer your episode CTAs How to know if it’s all worth it, on a personal level (and professionally, because data!) Why building a podcast has felt like building a meeting house in all the best ways, and why knowledge sharing is my own personal theology RESOURCES: Click here to join Sustainable Growth Lab Click here to work with Adriane and the Soulpreneur Agency LET’S CONNECT: Book a call to work with Soulpreneur to grow your business Follow Soulpreneur: @soulpreneur_co Follow Adriane @adrianegalea Visit the website: soulpreneur.co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Loved this episode?
