Comment atteindre les 100 000 euros de chiffre d'affaires ?C'est la question que m'a posée Marie-Cécile dans cette nouvelle leçon.Marie-Cécile est la créatrice du blog apprendre-a-jouer-du-piano et de la chaîne YouTube “Les Clés du Piano”. Elle est passionnée, ultra-investie, et elle n'est pas loin du cap symbolique : 80 000 euros de chiffre d'affaires déjà réalisés, mais une grande fatigue aussi, une dispersion permanente, et une rentabilité en berne.Alors ensemble on a fait un grand ménage : quels projets conserver ? Lesquels arrêter ? Où concentrer son énergie pour avoir de vrais résultats ?On a aussi parlé de ses blocages invisibles, de ses croyances limitantes, et de la peur qu'on a tous parfois… de faire moins, mais mieux.Si vous êtes solopreneur ou entrepreneure passionnée qui court après mille idées, cette leçon pourrait vraiment changer votre perspective.Bonne écoute !CHAPITRAGE 00:00 – Introduction03:10 – Présentation de Marie-Cécile 05:42 – Atteindre 80 000 € de chiffre d'affaires : les premières étapes08:55 – La fatigue du solopreneur : trop d'offres, trop de dispersion12:20 – Comment prioriser quand on a 1000 idées ?15:45 – Coaching en direct : identifier les offres qui rapportent vraiment20:32 – Pourquoi faire moins peut rapporter plus24:11 – Lever les blocages invisibles pour passer un cap31:10 – Reprendre le contrôle de son temps et de son énergie#LeçonDuMercredi #PaulineLaigneau #EntrepreneuriatCréatif #BusinessEnLigne #CréatriceDeContenu #MarketingDigital #Solopreneur #PédagogieEnLigne #CoursDePiano #MonterSonBusiness #VivreDeSaPassion #EntreprendreAutrement #ChiffreDAffaires #OffresDigitales #OrganisationEntrepreneur #CoachingBusiness #ReconversionProfessionnelle #CréerSaMarque #YoutubeuseFrancophone #ApprendreLePiano #EntrepreneuriatFéminin #DéveloppementDeBusinessNotes et références de l'épisode Sont cités dans l'épisode : La formation “Faire plus de chiffre en moins de temps, d'argent et d'énergie”La formation “Reprenez le contrôle de votre temps : faites plus en moins de temps”Pour retrouver Marie-Cécile : Sur son blogSur sa chaîne YouTubeVous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I dive deep into the transformative concept that everything is a skill. I challenge listeners to reconsider limiting beliefs like "I'm not a morning person" or "I can't focus" by reframing these thoughts as opportunities for growth. I break down how shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset can unlock personal development. By identifying underlying skills behind our challenges, we can create actionable strategies for improvement. Whether it's time management, decision-making, or setting boundaries, I demonstrate how small, consistent practices can lead to significant personal transformation. Key takeaways include:Recognize thoughts as malleable, not fixedBreak challenges into learnable skillsStart with small, low-risk actionsPractice consistently to build confidenceMy goal?

The Real Growth Is Hidden In The Data That Most People Overlook In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact numbers I teach inside my Millie Club Mastermind. These are the same numbers that help 7-figure business owners stop flying blind and start making decisions that actually move the needle. If you're only tracking top-line revenue, you're missing the full story. The four numbers I walk you through today are the ones most entrepreneurs ignore because they either feel overwhelming, vulnerable, or just not "fun." But here's the truth: these numbers hold the key to smarter launches, healthier profits, and a deeper sense of ownership over your success. Whether you're heading into your first six-figure year or gunning for your first million, this episode will help you finally feel grounded and clear when it comes to your business metrics. Your Homework: 1. Choose two of the four pillars I share in this episode and start tracking them immediately if you're not already. 2. Schedule a 30-minute CEO time block this week to review your numbers, even if they're incomplete. Start building that data-driven muscle! HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ You Can't Scale What You Can't Track – Tracking numbers gives you agency not overwhelm. You stop throwing spaghetti at the wall, and you start making decisions that are rooted in evidence. 2️⃣ Your Conversion Rate Is Your Business IQ – Understanding where leads convert and where they fall off gives you instant clarity on what to fix for your next launch.  3️⃣ Profit Is Power – You don't need to make a million dollars. You need to keep more of what you earn. Tracking profit margin keeps your business sustainable.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking for advice on how to make your firm more lucrative? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Ted DeBettencourt, a JD/MBA and a business owner. Ted shares his journey from Martha's Vineyard to legal tech entrepreneurship, discussing the island's unique culture and his transition from law to business. To run a successful law firm, it is important that certain processes are in place and run efficiently to turn a profit. An important thing to implement is to ensure there are more staff over auto responders and AI for Local Service Ads (LSA). LSA's will rank firms based on response times and this can affect how people perceive your firm at the first click. If your response time is slow, most people will not call you for help. Using real people to answer leads and call prospective clients will ensure you get off on the right foot with people who are looking for legal support.Ted and Tyson chat about the three most important marketing metrics for a successful law firm. The first metric is wanted leads. It is important to know how many leads are actually wanted, in which a firm will be interested in taking on. The second metric is signed rates. Out of the wanted leads, how many of them were signed on as actual cases for the firm. This will determine how successful a firm is when it comes to the number of cases that are taken on and it can show value. The third metric is average case value. This can be determined by how much a firm makes in a year based on the type of cases. Ultimately, the average case value will let someone know how successful a firm really is.Listen in to learn more!05:25 Google Local Services Ads (LSA) and Lead Response06:49 Manual vs. Automated Lead Response07:46 Importance of Fast Lead Response09:20 AI vs. Human Chat: Present and Future10:37 Human Connection in the Age of AI11:26 Regulations and Human-Only Policies23:14 What Sets Successful Law Firms Apart25:54 Key Marketing Metrics for Law FirmsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Ted at JuvoLeads:Website Linkedin

How did a 180-year-old Italian digestif become one of America's most beloved bar staples? Though Fernet-Branca has enjoyed a storied legacy in Europe since its creation in 1845, it remained a niche curiosity in the United States for much of its life. The intensely bitter, herbal liqueur was appreciated only by the most adventurous palates. Today, however, it's a fixture behind the bar from upscale cocktail lounges to neighborhood dive bars, most often knocked back in shot form and celebrated for its distinct flavor profile. Who better to trace Fernet-Branca's unlikely rise than Edoardo Branca, managing director of Branca USA and a sixth-generation member of the family behind the brand? We caught up with Edoardo at spirits industry trade show Bar Convent Brooklyn to talk about how Fernet-Branca earned its cult status in the U.S. He shared insights on the brand's roots, its journey from obscure digestif to bartender favorite, and how the company is carefully evolving to stay relevant in a fast-changing drinks culture. From navigating pricing pressures to expanding the Branca USA portfolio with modern, consumer-focused offerings, Edoardo explains how he is stewarding a legacy while embracing innovation. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Edoardo Branca, Managing Director, Branca USA – Eduardo talks about his journey from Milan (he's an Inter fan) to Southern California and ultimately to New York. He also discusses his current role in which he oversees U.S. operations and highlights the most personally rewarding aspect of his job. Edorado explains how Fernet Branca became popular within the bartender community after gaining traction as a popular shot in 1990s San Francisco, the emotional resonance many have with their first Fernet experience and reflects on the global cultural differences in how it's consumed. He acknowledges generational shifts and concerns about declining alcohol consumption among younger drinkers, but expresses confidence that appreciation for spirits and bar culture will mature with age and experience. Edorado also talks about the growing Branca portfolio, noting that lower-ABV products like Antica Formula vermouth align with growing health-conscious trends and also shares his philosophy on mergers and acquisitions.

Years ago, I was introduced to a former Marine and FBI counterintelligence officer whose job was to recruit spies to help protect our country. His secret weapon? Empathy. Finding out what is important to someone so that they can then build trust and find shared goals.Robin Dreek joins us again today to talk about his latest book, Unbreakable Alliances: A Spy Recruiter's Authoritative Guide to Cultivating Powerful and Lasting Connections. He shares the four keys to communication and the difference between inspiration, influence, and manipulation. He shares the behaviors of trust required to inspire people to feel safe. We talk about how to engage empathy to inspire people to open up, share their context, and forge those unbreakable alliances. Finally, Robin shares a great definition of active curiosity and what it can do for both your relationships and success.

Last September, we hosted a 21 Hats Brainstorm podcast episode in which BaLeigh Waldrop told us that she was considering buying the family business from her parents. BaLeigh, who has been serving as chief financial officer of the Miller Waldrop furniture business that her great grandfather started, recognized that she was being offered a remarkable opportunity, but she had some concerns. Sales have been off of late, the business is predominantly brick-and-mortar, and most importantly, she would have to work out an ownership structure with her younger brother. The 21 Hats crew of owners and entrepreneurs who joined the brainstorm asked a lot of good questions and offered smart suggestions. “I think what's actually incredibly hard about this whole thing is that I love it,” says BaLeigh. “I love wearing the different hats. I love owning a business in a small community.” We left it that BaLeigh would get back to us once she'd figured things out. In this week's episode, she returns to tell Jay Goltz and the rest of us what she's decided.

389 Identifying and Acting On Problems You Can Solve   We are surrounded by problems everyday of our lives, some manageable and others seeming too monumental to handle alone. Which is why it is so important to build a community of like minded individuals with the same goal of making a true difference.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Tessa Clarke discuss the relationship people have with stuff, food waste, and how Tessa's company Olio have been making a real difference in the face of the climate crisis.     Highlights Our relationship with objects, like clothing, that shape our identity.  What do you waste without realizing? How much do you think you throw away in a week? A month? And a year? We all need someone in our corner to help build us up and to help chart a path forward. Building community while also solving problems. Quit wishing things would be better and start making the change yourself.   Quotes “We always think the grass is greener on the other side but it never is.” “What's good for the planet is good for people and vice versa.” “It is honestly exhausting being a founder, trying to drive the change in a world that's set up not to change. So you've got to find ways to reenergize yourself and to keep going, to keep fighting every single day.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, When you think about those 4 to 5 years that Tessa talked about and that journey of wanting to be entrepreneurial and thinking about it in terms of “what is the problem I can solve?” What is something you could start today, maybe it eventually becomes a side hustle, maybe the side hustle stays a side hustle, or maybe it turns into something more. What is a problem that you've experienced, that maybe you're the person to solve?    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Tessa Tessa Clarke is the co-founder and CEO of Olio, the world's only neighbour-to-neighbour food-sharing app, and a trailblazing force in the fight against waste. Since launching in 2015 - and as a remote first business - Olio has grown into a global movement with 8 million users, redistributing over 100 million meals and 14 million household items, proving that small actions can drive massive change. Recognised as Veuve Clicquot's Bold Woman of the Year in 2023, Tessa is also a Sifted columnist, an Ambassador for the Better Business Act, and a member of the Small Business Growth Forum, advising the UK Government on SME concerns. With a track record of disrupting industry and mobilising communities, Tessa is a passionate speaker who inspires audiences to rethink business, sustainability, and the power of grassroots innovation. Check out Tessa's LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram! As well as her website Olio, and her TED Talk!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

On this episode of the Customers First Podcast, I engage in an insightful conversation with Alexis Boyett, a dynamic entrepreneur whose career encompasses modelling, acting, and immersive experience design. As the founder of Company with Character and The Bippity Platform, Alexis embodies a vision rooted in connection, creativity, and empowerment, guiding individuals to forge deeper connections with themselves and one another. Our dialogue traverses her unique journey, starting from her early days in Los Angeles, where she sought validation through modelling and acting after overcoming past bullying experiences.    Alexis shares the transformative moment she realized the importance of authenticity while on set with A-list celebrities. Her engaging anecdotes showcase that even those in the limelight experience vulnerability and awkwardness, making them beautifully human. As she delves into the pivotal shift from pursuing fame to recognizing her true impact through character entertainment, Alexis highlights her discovery of professional princessing – an avenue that not only reignited her passion for performance but also instilled her with the profound realization of how storytelling can significantly shape children's lives.    Taking her experience to the next level, Alexis founded her nationwide company focused on character entertainment, integrating anti-bullying messages into her performances. However, the onset of the pandemic prompted her to reassess her path. After selling her company to her performers, she launched Bippity, the first business and personal development platform aimed at character entertainers. We explore her passion for bringing character entertainment into corporate spaces, as she introduces innovative offerings like the Holiday Cheer Calendar that evoke joy and creativity among teams.   We also discuss the nuances of entrepreneurship, particularly the challenges creative individuals often face in distinguishing their business from their own personal value. Alexis emphasizes the importance of viewing business as a creative expression rather than an extension of self-worth, allowing for growth and innovation without emotional entanglements. Through this lens, she offers poignant insights into maintaining alignment with one's values while navigating the complexities of building a sustainable business.   The culmination of our conversation reveals the essence of her work, encouraging individuals to embrace their authenticity and diminish the fear of failure. In closing, Alexis leaves us with a powerful reminder of the importance of making magic and believing in one's unique light. This episode is a deeper exploration of how creative entrepreneurship and personal authenticity can intersect, creating opportunities for connection and growth in both personal and professional spheres.   Alexis' Contact Information: Website: https://www.thecompanywithcharacter.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thecwc/ Instagram: @thebippityplatform   Tacey's Contact Information: Website: taceyatkinson.com All Socials: @TaceyAtkinson   Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to having more valuable conversations together in the future.   Remember: Customer-Centric Cultures Create Magical Customer Experiences.

An interview with Barbara Zabawa, Wellness Lawyer, Entrepreneur, Author and Law Professor.The nefarious wellness practitioner, the ones that are going to give wellness a bad name, wouldn't turn away the vulnerable patient. In fact, they may prey upon the vulnerable patient, and that is wrong and should not be tolerated, and…so the wellness practitioner that wants to give wellness a good name will focus on the empowered consumer, the consumer that even if they have some kind of ailment or condition, they are seeing someone in conventional medical care, they are doing what they can on that side of things, but they want to just empower themselves with additional information, additional tools, additional resources to elevate their well being.

Get Noticed! Send a text.The traditional office lease is quietly strangling business growth. Frank Cottle realized this four decades ago when he pioneered the flexible workspace concept that has now evolved into Alliance Virtual Offices—a global network of 1,500+ premium locations serving over 200,000 corporate clients.Frank's journey began with a simple observation: the rigid structures of commercial real estate were fundamentally misaligned with the dynamic nature of modern business. "A company without flexibility today is not going to last very long," he explains, highlighting how traditional leases function as debt instruments that limit growth potential and capital access. This reality becomes especially clear when entrepreneurs pitch to investors. Those burdening their balance sheets with long-term leases and office infrastructure expenses receive substantially less favorable treatment than those embracing flexible solutions.The concept Frank calls "just-in-time real estate" represents a profound shift in thinking about workspace. Rather than renting square footage, Alliance Virtual Offices provides comprehensive business services—everything between the carpet and ceiling, including reception, telephony, meeting facilities, and administrative support. This approach scales precisely with business needs, whether you're a solo attorney needing a prestigious address and occasional meeting room, or a multinational requiring a custom network across dozens of locations.What makes this model truly revolutionary is how it democratizes opportunity. Young entrepreneurs priced out of expensive commercial districts can now establish their businesses with London Cavendish Square or Singapore CBD addresses from just £70 monthly. Remote teams can coordinate global operations without committing to facilities they might outgrow within months. Even Fortune 1000 companies and government agencies have embraced this model to shed unnecessary real estate obligations while maintaining operational effectiveness.As someone who values working from home and dislikes commuting, Frank hReal Talk About MarketingAn Acxiom podcast where we discuss marketing made better, bringing you real...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyRiverside - Your online recording studioThe easiest way to record podcasts and videos in studio quality from anywhere.
