Book in a call with me to discuss working together: https://www.voics.co/scheduleThe #1 reason your online business isn't growing has nothing to do with strategy.It's that you're building something you're not aligned with.You're selling something that doesn't feel true.You're scaling something that drains you.And it shows in your content, your energy, your results.Most people don't have a strategy problem.They have an alignment problem.They're copying what they think works.They're forcing offers that feel off.They're chasing outcomes without ever stopping to ask what they actually want.And the answer isn't to push harder.The answer is to slow down, get clear, and build from who you are, not what everyone else is doing.This new episode with Paul Daley breaks it all down.Founder, entrepreneur, friend and someone who's built everything by being ruthlessly honest with himself.We talk about:– Why most programs never scale– Why people burn out chasing someone else's vision– And how alignment builds momentum that brute force never canSmash that like button if you enjoyed this episode!(00:00) The Truth About Coaching Businesses(01:09) Why Most Info Products Fail(02:45) Building a Moat Around Your Business(06:32) How True Expertise Creates Differentiation(08:54) Why So Many Agency Founders Fake It(10:27) Selling vs. Building: Avoiding the Catch-22(14:15) 10x vs 2x Thinking for Founders(16:37) Building Trust Through Transparency(20:17) Humility vs Authority: Two Content Styles(24:55) Your Business Is a Mirror of You(26:14) Modeling Christ in Business and Leadership(29:07) Why Founders Lose Their Way(34:44) Rough Roads Lead to Smooth Outcomes(36:58) How to Find Purpose(38:36) The Sales Funnel of Faith(46:27) The Only Path to Long-Term Peace(49:05) Leaving Educate and Rediscovering Faith(57:36) Living in Alignment With Your MissionSupport the show

And the success she thought would bring fulfillment came with heavier sacrifices.We talked about the reality of scaling—something no one tells you:The emotional weight of running a fast-growing businessThe trade-offs you have to make to sustain the growthThe personal sacrifices no one seesIt's not the fairy tale of overnight success. It's what happens when the business you built begins to own you instead of the other way around.Here's what Lara realized:Scaling doesn't fix everything; it amplifies everything.You have to stay in control of your systems—because if you don't, they'll control you.The most successful entrepreneurs are the ones who constantly refine, adapt, and make space to breathe.If you're chasing seven figures, ask yourself:Are you building something that works for you?Or something that will consume you?This podcast is the most personal, raw, and honest conversation we've had.It's about what really happens behind the scenes of success—and what it takes to get your life back while keeping the growth.Connect with Lara: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laraacostar/(00:00) Preview(01:25) Embracing the Girl Boss Persona(02:20) Challenges of Personal Branding for Women(04:17) The Power of Specialization(07:18) The Artist's Dilemma: Creativity vs. Productivity(09:28) Recognizing Personal Growth(10:21) Impact of Confidence in Entrepreneurship(15:43) The Ego Trap in Storytelling(17:28) Why Podcasts Are The Future(20:51) Overcoming Alcohol and Finding Clarity(25:20) The Power of Fitness and Discipline(28:26) The Reality of Online Businesses(30:52) Persuasion vs. Manipulation in Marketing(32:15) The Problem with Generic Cold DMs(33:39) Discord, Crypto, and the Power of Memes(39:51) Spirituality, Religion and Internal Work(44:23) Why Every Business Needs Content(45:26) The Science behind Manifestation(50:36) Developing a Business Mindset(53:10) Experimenting with Psychedelics (58:20) Realizations on Seeking Validation(01:00:49) Parental & Societal Expectations(01:10:28) Lara Acosta's Social Media Strategy (01:17:52) Relocating and Gaining Personal freedom(01:24:28) Designing your Dream LifeSupport the show
