What began as Time to Level Up has transformed into something much bigger. It's not just a podcast but a movement and a mirror reflecting the power of women who choose to grow on purpose. It symbolizes how your business and mindset can evolve and why “thinking big” means embracing progress over perfection. So we're celebrating five years of bold thinking, evolution, and growth with a five-part anniversary series! In the kickoff to this series on She Thinks Big, you'll dive deep into one of the most foundational themes in entrepreneurship: priorities. I'll share how saying yes to everything once felt like the key to success and what I've learned since then about focus, time as a mind reflection, and the freedom that comes from aligning your energy with what truly matters. If you've ever struggled to find balance between growth and grace or wondered if changing your priorities means you've failed, this episode will reframe how you view your time, energy, and power as a CEO.What's Covered in This Episode on Shifting Priorities to Build Your Business1:56 – Reflecting on the earliest days of the podcast and what it's really all about8:28 – Why I used to say yes to every opportunity (and what I've learned since)10:24 – How your shifting priorities reflect growth, not failure12:37 – How time is a reflection of your mind13:55 – What your energy reveals about what you really value16:17 – How to identify your future-focused priorities and act on them this week17:24 – Bonus assignment: the beauty of saying “no” 20:41 – A sneak peek into the next episode of the seriesMentioned In How I Shifted My Priorities to Build a Business That Aligns With My LifeFive Leaps in Five MinutesSilent Saboteur AuditShe Thinks Big by Andrea LiebrossBook a Call With AndreaAndrea's LinksAndrea on LinkedIn, Instagram, and FacebookDon't Just Listen—Implement ItUntangle your time, reset your role, and build systems that don't depend on your every move.

Founders wear every hat—until the hats wear them out. In this straight-talk episode, Brandon Moon (CEO & Strategic Partner, TD Pine Advisors) breaks down how to go from owner-dependent chaos to scalable clarity. We unpack replacing yourself with the right operators, building simple systems, leveraging automation without losing the human touch, and shifting identity from doer to designer. If you're plateaued at 10% growth and stuck in 80-hour weeks, this conversation is your operating memo to scale sustainably, increase enterprise value, and protect your mental health.    About the Guest: Brandon Moon is CEO and Strategic Partner at TD Pine Advisors, where he helps founder-led companies reduce owner dependency, align teams, and grow valuation. He hosts “Coffee with TD Pine Advisors,” answering real questions from business owners navigating growth, change, and exit readiness.    Key Takeaways : • Owner dependency crushes enterprise value—design the business to function without you.• Audit your time: keep high-leverage work, outsource/offload bookkeeping and repeatables early.• Hire/contract operators (COO/plant manager) so you can focus on growth, not firefighting.• Automation/AI ≠ less personal; it frees time for deeper client relationships and BD.• Identity shift: move from running the business to designing the business (systems, culture, cadence).• Network weekly—your circle can be a growth engine or a cage.• Pride is a glass ceiling—surround yourself with people smarter than you to break plateaus.• Think legacy: every owner exits; build a company that thrives after you.   How to Connect with the Guest :  LinkedIn: search Brandon Moon (active on LinkedIn — best contact route).

Meet Naldo from Jim's Mowing New Zealand who shares how he managed to build his Jim's Mowing business from scratch at the start of winter!

DESCRIPTION Running a dog business can sometimes feel like you're giving everything; your time, your energy, your weekends and still wondering when life's meant to happen and it's all just suddenly going to feel like you've made it and got it right. In this episode, we're joined by Jeff Mask, firstly, an incredible human being, he's a coach, mentor, and someone who's become a hugely important person in our lives.  Together we discuss how easy it is to get trapped in overworking, people-pleasing, and trying to control everything and how those habits quietly cost us as business owners the very life we're working so hard for. We talk about what it really takes to build a business that gives you more freedom, not less, and how to protect your time, your relationships, and your sanity while you grow. KEY TAKEAWAYS Remember – You are building a business for freedom – not for burnout. Chasing “work-life balance” is a losing game, it´s unattainable, but achieving harmony between your home and work life is realistic.  Overworking and people-pleasing might feel necessary, but they're not. Both of those habits are quietly robbing you of the life you're working so hard to build. Knowing your “why” fuels you to set boundaries, say no, and stop scratting for scraps. Freedom in business isn't handed to you; it's earned by making tough choices about what you'll do (and what you won't). Religiously time block and protect space for your most important people, not just your to-do list. It's not about the hours you work, but where you put your focus.  Use the 80/20 rule to focus on what moves your business forward. Then, let go of the rest. Plan “bookends” around big work commitments, dedicating quality time before and after with loved ones to show they come first. True harmony happens when your family knows the “music” you're playing, not just the hours you're working. Open, honest conversations, especially at home, are non-negotiable. Your loved ones can't support you if they're kept in the dark BEST MOMENTS “Busyness and productiveness are not synonymous, but often our brains and our egos don't know the difference.” "Almost always, what holds us back from actually doing what we say we'll do, as far as balancing a great business and home life, is fear." “Love is spelled T, I, M, E …  It's really hard for people, especially kids, to feel that they're loved when you're not there. "Which wolf are you feeding right now ?... The one that's dark and negative and critical, or the one that's light and love and gratitude and abundance?... The wolf that is fed will win."

In this milestone solo episode, Finola Howard shares the 20-year journey behind the Joyful Annual Planner — and the deeper belief that changed everything. This isn't just about planning. It's about why you plan. It's about what happens when joy stops being an afterthought and becomes the very foundation of your business strategy.

In this transformative episode of the $100 Million Podcast, Brad Sugars issues a blunt reality check: if you're the business, you don't have a business, you have a demanding job working for a crazy person, namely yourself. He redefines a true business as a commercial, profitable enterprise that thrives without the owner's constant presence, introducing his golden rule of leverage: do the work once, get paid forever. Drawing from his own life, Brad recounts how, after 10 years building Action Coach, he appointed a CEO to run the company so he could step away and be a present dad when his daughter was born. He also shares the clever story of a multi-award-winning hairdresser who faked a broken arm to force a handoff of clients, ultimately tripling his prices, working one day a week, and keeping the salon thriving. Brad lays out the three foundational pillars, robust systems (document, automate, delegate with training and measures), an empowered team (recruited, trained, and trusted), and strong cash flow (through predictable leads, sales, and repeat business) and maps the four levels of work that elevate you from employee (paid once) to manager (paid long-term), owner (paid forever), and finally investor (money works for you). This episode is your roadmap to escaping the owner's trap, systemizing your way to freedom, and building a scalable enterprise that doesn't collapse without you.Subscribe to the $100 Million Podcast now and never miss a strategy to scale your freedom and wealth.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

Jim McKelvey did the impossible. He beat Amazon. The tech giant launched a product similar to Square's, undercut their pricing, and leveraged its massive brand. Everyone thought Square was doomed. But a year later, Amazon quit and even mailed Square readers to their customers. That left Jim with a bigger question: “How did we survive when no one else ever has?” The search for that answer inspired his book The Innovation Stack, a blueprint for building a business that cannot be copied. In this episode, Jim joins Ilana to reveal the secret to creating an unbeatable business, why ignorance can be a superpower, and how to survive the impossible as an entrepreneur. Jim McKelvey is the co-founder of Square (now Block), a billionaire entrepreneur, and author of The Innovation Stack.

This week, in episode 267, David C. Barnett, Kate Morgan, and Sarah Segal tackle a challenge every owner who sells services eventually faces: Clients want to hire you, but you want them to understand they'll mostly be working with your team. How do you make that clear without scaring them off? For some, it's a delicate balancing act. For Kate, it's simple: if a client insists on her personal time, she charges, in her words, “a boatload of cash.” Plus: we dive into another tricky owner decision: how to structure bonus plans that truly drive retention. David is weighing a deferred bonus approach, where payouts happen over several years. It's a proven way to keep people around, but he wonders: Do you really want employees who'd otherwise leave to stay just for the money? Also, when valued employees get an offer, do you counter-offer? And if they leave, do you tell them they can always come back?

Build a Business That Serves Your Life (Not the Other Way Around) with John Nieuwenburg   Small business owners are great technicians—but often underpowered CEOs. Coach John Nieuwenburg breaks down why most owners feel squeezed by time, team, and money—and how to fix it. We cover building a simple, real-time dashboard (so you stop driving by the rear-view mirror), the “three-legged stool” of systems-people-leadership, recruiting a bench before you're desperate, plus hiring for culture over skills. The goal: a business that funds—and fits—your life.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why most small business owners struggle with time, team, and money—and how to regain control. How to build a dashboard with 3–5 KPIs that actually predict success, instead of relying on lagging P&Ls. The three-legged stool of systems, people, and leadership—and why systems must run the business. The 85/15 rule: systematize the routine, humanize the exceptions. How to shift from avoidance to mastery in crucial conversations with your team. Why recruiting should be ongoing—build a bench before you need it. The truth about culture: you don't get the one you want, you get the one you deserve. Why you must hire for culture and train for skills, not the other way around. The real purpose of a small business: to fund the life of its owner.   Key Takeaways: Dashboards beat rear-view P&Ls: pick 3–5 KPIs owners can act on weekly. The 3-legged stool: systems run the business; people run systems; you lead people. Systematize 85% (routine), humanize 15% (exceptions). Seek system fixes, not people fixes. Recruit before you need it—build a bench so you can enforce standards without fear. Hire for culture, train for skill; most terminations are culture, not skill. Crucial conversations are a core leadership skill; avoidance is expensive. Purpose check: Your small business should serve your life. If not, change it.   Guest Bio: John Nieuwenburg is a business coach (since 2004) who's helped 320+ small-business owners increase profits, remove chaos, and reclaim their lives. Formerly President of BC Liquor Stores (>$3B revenue; 4,000 employees), he was named MacKay CEO Forums' “Canada's CEO Trusted Advisor—Small Business” in 2019. He leads W5 Coaching, applying a Socratic approach to help owners think clearly and act decisively.   Links: https://w5coaching.com/  https://www.facebook.com/john.nieuwenburg/  https://ca.linkedin.com/in/business-coach-canada   Conclusion: At the end of the day, your business should exist to serve you—not consume you. As John Nieuwenburg reminds us, small businesses thrive when owners stop running by the “rear-view mirror,” build dashboards that give them clarity, systematize their operations, and lead with courage in conversations and culture. The reward? A business that creates both profit and peace of mind. If your company isn't giving you the freedom and financial security you started it for, it's time to make the shifts that put your life back at the center.   #ProfitFirst #SmallBusiness #CashFlow #BusinessCoach #KPIs #Dashboards #Systems #Leadership #Hiring #CompanyCulture

Episode Overview In this episode of The John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens sits down with Ryan Smith for an honest and powerful conversation on leadership, mindset, and faith in real estate. From navigating a tough market and having hard client conversations, to leading with integrity, core values, and purpose, Ryan shares the timeless principles that help his team thrive—no matter the conditions. This is more than a real estate conversation; it's a masterclass in faith-based leadership, culture building, and personal alignment. If you've been feeling the tension between growth and gratitude, business and balance, this episode will remind you what really matters and how to lead from the inside out. What You'll Learn in This Episode Mindset in a Shifting Market Why your mindset determines your altitude, not the market conditions. How to stay proactive when transactions slow and uncertainty rises. Why fundamentals and skill mastery always win over hype and panic. Having Hard Conversations with Clients How to bring clients back into what Ryan calls the “Circle of Reality.” Why early expectation-setting prevents frustration later in the process. When to walk away from clients—and how honesty always builds trust long-term. Leadership, Team Culture & Core Values The power of hiring based on values, not production alone. Why culture is just a collection of your people—and how one wrong fit can shift everything. The “gardener” analogy: pruning your team for health and growth. Faith, Family & Focus How Ryan structures his business around his faith and family priorities. Why excellence in business flows from spiritual and personal alignment. Balancing ambition with purpose: redefining success beyond production numbers. Mindset, Storytelling & Self-Leadership The “Story Model” for self-awareness: how your internal narrative shapes your results. Why agents must master mindset before strategy. How to create a culture where team members can call each other out with truth and trust. Opportunities in Today's Market Why honesty and excellence set you apart when others take shortcuts. The shrinking competition and growing chance to win listings and market share. The power of attraction through doing the right thing—consistently.

If you don't know your core values, you'll likely build a business that looks successful on paper but leaves you burned out and misaligned in real life.That's why I invited my friend Robert Glazer on the podcast. He's an entrepreneur, bestselling author, and someone I always learn from when it comes to leadership. Robert built a global business that won dozens of “Best Place to Work” awards, writes the Friday Forward newsletter read by hundreds of thousands each week, and has published five books translated worldwide. His new book The Compass Within is about uncovering the values that drive you—and using them to align your business and life so success actually feels fulfilling.In this conversation, Robert and I dig into where core values really come from, why it's so important to share them with your team, and how to infuse them into your culture so your firm can grow without losing what makes it special. We also talk through his “three climbs” framework, and why so many advisors get to the top of the wrong mountain and wonder why it doesn't feel like freedom.3 of the biggest insights from Robert…1. The Compass Within: Why Advisors Need a Core Values FrameworkRobert's new book isn't just another leadership parable—it's a tool to help you figure out the values that drive every decision you make. When you know those, you can build a firm that scales without burning you out, gives your team clarity, and actually supports the kind of freedom you want.2. Core Values Are Formed Earlier Than You ThinkMost values are rooted in childhood—they usually come from one of two places: the moments that lit us up, or the painful experiences we swore we'd never repeat. When you understand those drivers, you can lead more authentically, set clearer expectations, and avoid the blind spots that derail teams.3. From Words on the Wall to Culture That WorksValues don't matter if they just sit on a wall—they've got to show up in daily behavior. Robert shares how firms can turn values into real systems so your firm attracts the right people, and scales trust without the founder needing to be in every room.4. The 3 Climbs: How to Build a Business You Never Want to Retire FromToo many advisors grind their way up the wrong mountain, only to find emptiness at the top. Robert explains the 3 climbs of entrepreneurship and how to design your firm so the journey itself is energizing.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/138FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get copy of Robert's book, "The Compass Within" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "138" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

Prepare your business for a thriving future with expert insights into exit strategies and valuation on this episode of Building the Premier Accounting Firm. Today Roger Knecht is joined by Nancy Mills to discuss critical steps for business owners and accounting professionals, from clean financials to navigating emotional transitions. Learn how to maximize business worth and plan for a successful exit. In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to Exit Strategies 02:35 Why Transition Planning Matters 05:15 Phases of Business Transition 08:53 Business Valuation Methods 12:50 Negotiating Earnouts and Exits 17:38 Emotional Aspects of Selling 25:38 Strategic Buyer Success Story 32:22 Vending Company Exit Strategy 36:30 Key Takeaways and Final Advice 41:17 Conclusion and Resources Key Takeaways: Start exit planning at least three years in advance to ensure optimal preparation and avoid common pitfalls. Assemble a diverse advisory team, including accountants, lawyers, wealth managers, and certified exit planners, for comprehensive support. Focus on timely, accurate financials and clearly separate personal and business expenses to boost valuation. Understand various business valuation methods, including EBITDA multiples and the impact of revenue thresholds on buyer interest. Prepare for the emotional aspects of exiting a business by planning for a post-exit purpose and maintaining control during the transition. Featured Quotes: “They don't understand. They think that exit planning means you're putting my company on the market for sale right away.” - Nancy Mills “It's just like your house. You've got to keep it well maintained.” - Roger Knecht “Every business owner needs to understand that they have options and they have many more options than they are currently aware of.” - Nancy Mills Behind the Story: Many business owners overlook exit planning, viewing it as a distant concern or a sign of decline. However, unexpected events like the “dismal Ds”—divorce, disease, death, disagreement, or disability—can force an accelerated exit. This episode highlights the crucial role of proactive planning, much like preparing a child for independence, ensuring a business can thrive without the owner's daily involvement. It emphasizes the emotional journey involved and the need for a supportive advisory team to navigate the process effectively.

Carlos explains how scalable businesses can stay grounded in meaningful value, why shareholder-first thinking often fails culture and customers, and what practical signs tell you a company is truly doing good rather than selling a story.

This isn't your typical family business story. Bobby started in finance, swore he'd never work with family, then life forced a pivot. Stepping in reluctantly, he helped scale the business to 40 locations and $50M, but success came at a cost: resentment, burnout, and the realization that growth without alignment is a trap. So, he walked away. Bobby went on to build Greenridge Wealth, a firm built on values, systems, and a team-first culture. His mission? Help founders build businesses that run without them so they can actually live. In this episode, Bobby lays it all out. The toll of resentment. The dangers of tying your identity to your business. The hard decisions around rebuilding teams, shifting mindsets, and designing companies that can grow without you in the middle of everything. This is about leadership, clarity, and doing it on your own terms. Not grinding forever. Not chasing empty success. Just building a business that serves your life, not the other way around. So, if you're building, scaling, or just trying to break free from the grind this episode is packed with insights you don't want to miss.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Stefanie Carlstedt—Human Design strategist and certified high-performance coach—to unpack how founders and teams can ditch one-size-fits-all playbooks and lead by design, not default. We cover what Human Design is (and isn't), how it differs from personality questionnaires, practical ways to reduce burnout by aligning work with energy type, and simple experiments you can try this week to validate fit—before overhauling your business. If you've been hustling hard yet feeling misaligned, this episode shows a clear path to clarity, confidence, and sustainable performance.   About the guest  :   Stefanie Carlstedt is a Human Design strategist for entrepreneurs and teams and a certified high-performance coach. After a decade of building a six-figure business that left her burned out, grief and reflection led her to Human Design. She now helps leaders align strategy with their unique energetic blueprint to create profitability without self-betrayal.   Key takeaways:   Burnout = misalignment, not workload. If tasks match your design, you can do more with less drag; if they don't, even “light” work drains you. Human Design vs. personality tests: Unlike self-reported quizzes shaped by conditioning, Human Design uses birth data to map decision-making and energetic patterns you can operationalize in business. Energy types, different rules: e.g., Projectors thrive guiding 2–4 focused hours, not grinding 9–5; forcing hustle creates bitterness and stalls growth. Decision authority is the lever: Build systems that let you say “no” to misfit tactics (viral hacks, trend chasing) and “yes” to strategies that feel clean and energizing. Team advantage: Leaders who know their own and their team's designs assign roles smarter, reduce conflict, and increase throughput because everyone works in their natural lane. Comfort zone vs. self-betrayal: Stretching in alignment leaves you energized; misaligned stretching leaves resentment and poor sleep—use your body's feedback. Start small this week: Pull your free chart, listen to a short primer, and try one aligned action (posting, prospecting, or scheduling) per your design—then measure energy and results. Identity shift: Knowing your design normalizes being “wired differently,” cutting comparison, increasing self-trust, and improving relationships at work and home.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://www.stefcarlstedt.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stefaniecarlstedt/?hl=en Free resource mentioned: “Free Human Design chart + 5-part audio”    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
