The Mind Your Business Podcast

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today, Jenni is joined by voice and dialect coach Katherine Beck, calling in live from the set of a major Hollywood feature film starring Chris Hemsworth: a moment that perfectly encapsulates just how far her Business by Design journey has taken her!  Katherine helps non-U.S. actors master the American accent and book American roles, and her path to a multiple 6-figure business was anything but linear. From spending years lost in failed launches and a draining pivot away from her true passion, to going all-in on 25 consecutive webinars and completely transforming her business, her identity, and her life, Katherine's story is a powerful testament to what happens when you stop chasing shiny objects and commit to the one thing that lights you up. This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business. Because when you see someone just a few steps ahead of what you're doing, something powerful happens.

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today, Jenni welcomes back one of her favorite returning guests, fertility coach and doula Sophie Byfield, who was a Breakthrough of the Year finalist at Next Level and has continued to rack up breakthrough after breakthrough since her last appearance. Sophie helps women find the missing piece in their fertility journey so they can finally see their two pink lines, and her path to a thriving 6-figure business is one of the most honest, heartfelt, and instructive stories in the Business by Design community.  From making just $1,000 a month and hitting wall after wall, to a single coaching conversation that changed everything, Sophie's journey shows the importance of getting out of your own way, listening to the right people, and trusting the process long enough to let it work!  This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business.

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today, Jenni is live in the studio with none other than the Next Level "Breakthrough of the Year" winner, Chanelle Jefferson. Every year at Business by Design Live, a handful of finalists take the stage to share their massive transformations in a five-minute, TED-Talk-style presentation. The live audience votes, and Chanelle took home the top honor along with a $20,000 cash prize. Why? Because she completely revolutionized how artists sell their work, choosing to step off the exhausting, traditional hamster wheel of hoping and praying at gallery shows to build an incredibly intentional, highly profitable digital machine.  Chanelle opens up about her raw journey from running a chaotic, all-consuming $300k service business with zero profit, zero structure, and a team member she had to babysit, to finding true alignment. She reveals how she looked her numbers in the eye, restructured her entire business model using the core principles of Business by Design, and built a sustainable, multiple six-figure ecosystem with a consistent 40% to 50% profit margin - plus so much more!  This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business. Because when you see someone just a few steps ahead of what you're doing, something powerful happens.

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today, Jenni is joined by Megan Blacksmith, an NLP trainer and certifier who has built not one, but TWO multiple 6-figure businesses inside BBD. She started in women's hormone and brain health coaching, hit a $150,000 goal in 45 days, and then pivoted her entire business around a tool she originally discovered for personal reasons. Megan shares how she turned a zero-sale launch into one of her most effective entry-point offers, built a ladder of live events and certifications that feed seamlessly into each other, and learned that the real ceiling on her revenue had nothing to do with her marketing. Plus, we get into the mindset shifts that changed everything, and why the entrepreneurs who win are usually just the ones willing to keep showing up and repeat what works. This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business.

Most entrepreneurs are out here making decisions based on a story their brain made up. And I get it, because I used to do the same thing! But after 19 years and over $100 million in online sales, I know one thing for certain, and it's that your feelings about how a campaign performed and what actually happened are almost never the same thing. Today, I'm getting into one of my absolute favorite topics, the language of numbers. We're talking EPL, conversion rates, landing page performance, and the one metric I've been obsessing over for a decade that makes scaling feel less like gambling and more like simple math. This isn't really about numbers at all though. It's about getting out of the emotional roller coaster of business and into the driver's seat. When you know what's actually going on under the hood, the fear goes away, the clarity shows up, and you finally know exactly what to fix and what to leave alone. If you've ever walked away from a campaign not knowing whether it was good or bad, this is one you're going to want to tune into!

Struggling to get people to say "YES" to your offer? Here's the truth: you don't have a marketing problem, you have an offer problem. And everything in your business hinges on getting this one thing right! In this episode, I'm breaking down the art and science of crafting magnetic offers that practically sell themselves. We're talking about the difference between selling a product and selling an offer, why AI has changed the game, and how to create something so irresistible that people feel like they're getting the deal of a lifetime. Most entrepreneurs are just trying to sell their course or membership without understanding what makes an offer truly magnetic. Now is the time to stop putting your stuff in a box, start delivering 10 times the value of what you charge, and finally master the most important skill in business: the irresistible offer!

Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. In this episode, we're joined again by Dr. Tessa Davis, an ER pediatrician who built a 7-figure business helping UK doctors prep for senior job interviews, in a market of only 5,000 eligible candidates per year! With no prior business experience, Tessa launched her first cohort within 30 days of joining BBD and has run the same live webinar launch…14 times since! Tessa reveals the community-building strategies that make her students feel supported during high-pressure interviews, her lean contractor-based team structure, and the testimonial process that gave her million-dollar messaging. Plus, we dive into why niching down to a tiny market was the key to scaling up and how she went from 6 to 7 figures by truly knowing her clients.  This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business. Because when you see someone just a few steps ahead of what you're doing, something powerful happens. James's biggest free training of the year is right around the corner… The Business Breakthrough Experience. And in the weeks leading up to it, we're creating even more opportunities for you to get the coaching, clarity, and momentum your business truly deserves. Starting this June, we're hosting a special series of live panels featuring incredible Digital CEOs—like Tessa—who are in it, doing it, and ready to share what's actually working right now. These aren't just sit-back-and-watch sessions… You'll be able to join us live on Zoom, ask your questions, and get real-time coaching from experts who have been exactly where you are.

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. In this episode, we're joined by Amoya Shante, the creator of the Law of Delusion, who found herself hitting a wall after building a 6-figure business on energetics alone. Despite her success, she was caught in a cycle of overworking and tearing down offers, acting as the primary bottleneck in a business that felt more like a high-stakes hobby than a scalable machine. Amoya reveals the strategic pivot that led to a 145 percent revenue jump while allowing her to step into a rest-first lifestyle. We dive into the unique mechanics of her Paid Challenge Model, the psychological tactics she uses to turn low-ticket buyers into high-level mastermind students, and the identity shift required to stop making decisions based on where you are and start leading from where you're going! This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path.

Are you sitting there looking at a launch that tanked or a conversion rate that makes you want to pull your hair out? If so, I have some news for you: it isn't a predicament, it's just a problem. And in 3D reality, every problem has a guaranteed solution!  In this episode, I am breaking down the science of why people aren't buying and the three root causes behind every "no" you hear. We're looking at the data, but more importantly, we're looking at you. Most entrepreneurs waste 90 percent of their energy on the stuff that doesn't actually move the needle, and now is the time to stop chasing the next magic bullet, start mastering the art of the offer, and finally learn the language of your numbers!

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today's guest is Betsy Sabatini, the "Zoom Queen" who traded her brick-and-mortar office for a scalable digital empire built on high-value, $97 products! After shifting fully to the virtual world in 2020, she mastered the art of the beta launch and turned her YouTube channel into an automated lead-generation machine. In this episode, Betsy reveals how she moved past the "scaling ceiling" of one-on-one training to reach 6-figures, why she views business metrics as a recipe rather than a personal reflection, and how she continues to use the Monetize Before You Make It framework to design a business that is both fun to deliver and built to last! This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business.

How do you hit that pricing "sweet spot" without feeling like you're just pulling numbers out of thin air? We're irrational, emotional creatures, and if you don't actually believe in your price, believe me when I say that you'll never sell it! Today, I'm breaking down the three "M" variables you need to align to stop overthinking and start charging today.  I reveal why asking what people are willing to pay is a trap, how your price acts as a silent filter for high-caliber students, and why starting just 10% outside your comfort zone is the secret to walking your way to your goal. So if you're building from scratch or even you're a seasoned pro, it's time to stop projecting insecurities onto your offers. Get your reps in, own your value, and start treating your products with the same respect and confidence you'd show your own kids!

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today's guest is Gillian Jakob Kieser, a style coach and former corporate marketer who finally broke the cycle of over-planning to launch her digital business. After the initial nerves of selling a course before building it, her first beta validated a membership model that converted at 50%! In this episode, Gillian reveals how she refined her messaging to focus on identity work and how she now manages repeat launches - without the stress of starting from scratch!  This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business. Because when you see someone just a few steps ahead of what you're doing, something powerful happens. Ready to take your offer from idea to breakthrough?

How much complexity are you tolerating in your business right now?  There is a natural countercurrent in this industry that wants to drag you toward complexity: more platforms, more offers, and more AI tools that promise results but usually just deliver exhaustion. It doesn't have to be this way, and today, I share how the degree that you have simplicity in your business is the rate at which you can grow.  In this episode, I'm breaking down 11 things you can do, or rather, 11 things you should probably say NO to, in order to simplify your business and build a machine that actually runs without you!  Ready to stop thinking like a marketer and start operating like a true business owner?

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today you'll meet Agustina, an Argentinian therapist who was feeling drained by the one-on-one hustle until she decided to stop "running in a wheel" and started thinking like a CEO.

I've always said great musicians don't just play notes; they hear the music differently than the rest of us. They have "ear training." In this final installment of our coaching series, Jenni and I show you how to develop that same level of acuity for your coaching conversations. If you want to move past being a content creator and start becoming a master of results, you have to stop looking at what your clients are doing and start listening to the beliefs they are holding. I'm walking you through my exact plan of attack for dismantling the invisible architecture of a client's limitations. We're breaking down the A-B-C Framework, showing you how to cut the tape that holds those disempowering thoughts together, and a whole lot more. You'll hear how I'm living proof that your current "OS" isn't a life sentence; it's just a set of beliefs that haven't been challenged yet. So, this episode is about more than just coaching tactics; it's about walking yourself, and your clients, back to the Truth!  Get on the Stellar Coach Priority List!

If you are in the business of digital products, education, or coaching, you aren't just a content creator - you are in the business of solving problems and producing results. But I've learned that results rarely come from transferring more information; they come from the quality of the questions you ask. As we continue our special series on coaching, Jenni and I share the art of powerful questioning. We explore why most coaches stay stuck in "why" traps that lead to circular thinking, and how you can use the right questions, at the right time, to bypass a client's ego and spark real breakthroughs.  From chunking down multi-layered problems to using the Sherlock Holmes method to detect hidden constraints, we're giving you the exact language to transform your coaching sessions into high-impact, elegant masterclasses in this one!  Get on the Stellar Coach Priority List!

One of the most common dilemmas facing coaches today is the struggle between being a "teacher" of information and a true "partner" in transformation. Much like the difference between knowing a concept and embodying it, these two roles are deeply interconnected, feeding into one another to create a powerful client experience, and Jenni and I are breaking it all down for you in this one. Today we look at why the age of information is officially over, how to transition from simply gatekeeping content to producing real results, and the foundational distinctions that separate an average coach from an extraordinary one. Whether you are a brand-new coach building your first program, a seasoned mentor looking to sharpen your leadership energy, or a leader trying to understand why your clients aren't getting the results they deserve, this episode is just the foundation. Over the next few installments, we'll be diving into our favorite coaching questions, the art of intuitive guidance, and much more…so make sure you're subscribed to catch the entire series!

One of the most common dilemmas facing entrepreneurs today is what comes first: making the money or mastering the mindset to keep it? Much like the age-old "chicken or the egg" riddle, these two pillars of business are deeply interconnected, feeding into one another to create a thriving ecosystem, and Jenni and I are breaking it all down for you in this one. Today we look at where you should start in terms of a self-audit, how the three essential skills of money help you identify exactly where you should be pouring your energy based on the current stage of your business, and so much more. Whether you are a brand-new creator building from scratch, a seasoned pro looking to scale without burnout, or a leader trying to determine why your high revenue isn't translating into profit, this episode will light the way for what to do next!

What if I told you that 95% of the results in your business come from just 5% of your activities? And what if I told you that for most entrepreneurs, that 5% is the one thing they are actually avoiding or trying to outsource to a robot? Today, I'm talking all about messaging. I just wrapped up my  three-day Million Dollar Messaging workshop for our Next Level coaching clients, and the breakthroughs were so huge that I had to bring some of those "behind-closed-doors" strategies to the podcast. In this episode, I'm breaking down how messaging isn't just content, it's a strategic sequence designed to connect what your audience wants to what you actually sell. I reveal the million-dollar sentence that changes everything, a "Trojan Horse" technique for planting new beliefs, and so much more.  If you've been feeling like you're digging a pool with a shovel, it's time to put down the manual labor and start using the "earth mover" of your business.

What really happens when you put a room full of successful entrepreneurs together for three days in Sedona? Is it some "secret club" strategy that nobody else knows about? In this episode, I'm giving you an exclusive look inside our first 7-figure mastermind retreat of the year. This is the 10th year I've run this mastermind, and I'm sharing the raw, unfiltered observations of what is actually working in the online business space right now. We're diving into the framework that balances your growth, why your current plateau is actually an invitation to expand your "energetic container," and the one law of problem-solving that will change how you handle hurdles forever. If you've been feeling like you're working harder but staying in the same place, it's likely because you're running the wrong play. These are the specific patterns I'm seeing across the board with our highest-level students, and it's time for you to use what they're learning and step into the identity of a true Digital CEO too!  If you haven't yet signed up for my free weekly newsletter for online experts, The Digital CEO Weekly, you can sign up now and get it delivered straight to your inbox every Monday morning at www.jameswedmore.com/newsletter.  Hey there, Digital CEO!

Most entrepreneurs are obsessed with the wrong number and chasing "Total Revenue" like it's the ultimate trophy, but I'm going to tell you something that might hurt a little: Revenue is a vanity metric.  The truth is if you're making a million dollars but it costs you $950,000 to get it, you don't have a business, you have a high-stress hobby!  In this episode, we walk you through the exact framework we use to keep our operations tight and our margins high, including the one number that actually grants you freedom (and no, it's not your bank balance). We look at  the "natural drift" of waste that quietly bleeds most businesses dry and the specific expenses that actually scale your life, not just your workload. If you've ever felt like you're asleep at the wheel of your financials or you're exhausted from trying to out-earn your own overspending, this is your wake-up call. It's time to stop throwing money at your problems and start mastering the mechanics that actually support the life you want, so let's do this!  If you haven't yet signed up for my free weekly newsletter for online experts, The Digital CEO Weekly, you can sign up now and get it delivered straight to your inbox every Monday morning at www.jameswedmore.com/newsletter.  Hey there, Digital CEO!

What if the business model you've been duct-taping together is the very thing keeping you from the success you're meant for in 2026? Are you still arguing for your limitations while wondering why your growth has stalled? After a much-needed break to celebrate our wedding and recharge on our honeymoon, Jenni and I are back behind the mic to get real about the massive shifts happening in our industry! We've seen more disruption in the last 12 months than in the past two decades combined, and a "wait and see" approach is no longer an option.  In this episode, we unpack the mental shifts required to actually thrive in this new climate. We talk about why your true desires are actually a map to your purpose, how to stop self-sabotaging with goals that don't line up with your actions, and why you have to clean up the mental "mud" if you want to keep the results you're after. It is time to reclaim your agency and stop letting your brain's old predictions dictate what's possible for you, because the world needs your unique frequency now more than ever.
