Sustainable business growth really comes down to one thing, and it's not your mindset, branding, marketing, or visibility. Those pieces matter, but they aren't the foundation. The foundation to sustainable business growth is your metrics.If you've ever thought, “I want to make X, so I know I need Y clients to hit my revenue goal,” you're not wrong. That's a great starting point. However, it doesn't tell the full story of what actually needs to happen inside your business to make that number realistic, sustainable, and repeatable.In this episode, I'm sharing a framework I typically reserve for my one-on-one clients and walking you through the full framework step by step. Grab your notebook, because this episode will give you the clarity you need to turn your revenue goal into a real growth plan.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:You don't have a money problem. You have a why problem.You are hustling. Hard. Every decision you make, every hour you put in, every sacrifice you justify, it is all pointed at the same thing. More money. Because once you have enough of it, everything else falls into place.That is the trap.Not because making money is wrong. But because money was never going to be the answer to the question underneath it. And most people spend years,  sometimes their entire career, finding that out too late.Eric Mitchell was at the top of his industry when his mentor stopped him at dinner and asked one question. Why do you want all this money? He had no answer. Not a vague one. Nothing. And that blank silence sent him on a search that turned into hundreds of conversations with self-made high earners across industries. What he found was the same every single time. Nobody was driven by the money. Not one person.In this episode Eric breaks down the five real reasons people pursue financial success and why without knowing which one is driving you, you can make the money, but you will not find the fulfillment or the purpose that you thought it was going to bring.#WhyOfMoney #FoundersOfTheFuture #BusinessGrowthResources Mentioned:Website | LinkedIn | Facebook_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

Navigating the Marketing Agency Maze: Strategic Matchmaking with Behdad JamshidiIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Behdad Jamshidi, the Founder & CEO of CJAM Marketing, to discuss the critical challenges business leaders face when trying to scale their marketing efforts. With over 160,000 agencies in the market, founders often find themselves trapped in a cycle of "agency hopping" that drains resources and kills momentum. Their conversation dives into the necessity of strategic matchmaking, the value of intentional leadership, and how to find the less than 5% of agencies that actually align with an entrepreneur's specific business goals.Protecting Your Growth: The Engineering Approach to Marketing PartnershipsFor many high-achieving founders, the struggle isn't a lack of marketing options, but a lack of clarity on which specific agency "flavor" fits their current objective. Behdad explains that the marketing industry is highly fragmented, with agencies specializing in everything from granular SEO to high-level brand storytelling. A common mistake is hiring an agency based on a polished sales pitch rather than a proven track record within a specific niche or budget bracket. By acting as a fractional CMO and partner matcher, strategic consultants help business owners bypass the expensive trial-and-error phase, ensuring that the agency selected has the exact infrastructure required to scale that specific business model.Effective marketing leadership requires an objective view of the "entire board," moving beyond tactical execution to focus on foundational strategy. Business owners often jump into paid ads or social media campaigns before their internal systems—like lead follow-up and CRM management—are ready to handle the influx. This creates a "leaky bucket" scenario where marketing spend is effectively wasted. Strategic matchmaking involves auditing these internal processes first, then pairing the business with a partner who understands the nuance of their industry and the specific stage of the entrepreneurial journey they are navigating. This alignment ensures that marketing becomes a predictable engine for growth rather than a series of disconnected experiments.Ultimately, the goal of a strategic partnership is to build long-term value and trust, which is often missing in the transactional world of digital marketing. The matchmaking process relies on deep vetting and a massive network of pre-screened providers, allowing founders to access high-level talent without the risk of a "bad hire." As companies scale, their marketing needs evolve, and having a partner who can facilitate those transitions ensures that the brand remains consistent and the momentum continues. By prioritizing the relationship and the strategic fit over the latest marketing fad, entrepreneurs can reclaim their time and focus on leading their organizations with confidence.About Behdad JamshidiBehdad Jamshidi is the Founder & CEO of CJAM Marketing, where he serves as a strategic marketing consultant and agency matchmaker. With a background in engineering, Behdad brings a technical, process-driven perspective to the creative world of advertising. He specializes in identifying the perfect marketing partners for growing businesses, helping them build scalable, high-performance marketing ecosystems while protecting them from poor investments.About CJAM MarketingCJAM Marketing is a strategic consultancy that helps businesses find and manage the right marketing partners. By leveraging a vast network of vetted agencies and providers, CJAM Marketing removes the guesswork from the hiring process. The firm provides fractional CMO services, auditing internal processes and aligning business goals with the specific technical capabilities of marketing specialists to ensure sustainable, long-term growth.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeCJAM Marketing Official WebsiteBehdad Jamshidi on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsThe Agency Hopping Trap: Why businesses fail when they hire based on sales pitches rather than strategic, technical fit.The Kaizen Philosophy: Applying continuous, incremental improvement to both personal leadership and business operations.Tactical Hobbies for Leaders: How hands-on activities like painting or music help founders reset their mental state for better decision-making.The 5% Rule: Navigating the crowded market to find the small fraction of agencies that are actually capable of delivering ROI.Radical Transparency: How standardized referral fees and engagement models ensure unbiased marketing recommendations.ConclusionThis conversation with Behdad Jamshidi underscores that marketing success is less about the "what" and more about the "who." By finding the right strategic partners who align with your mission and stage of growth, you can transform marketing from a source of frustration into your most powerful tool for impact.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Leadership carries weight—and when alignment is off, the cost multiplies. In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, we explore a critical truth many leaders overlook:Authority doesn't just amplify impact—it also amplifies error.Drawing from Leviticus 4, we examine how Scripture differentiates between the unintentional missteps of individuals, communities, and leaders and why the weight of responsibility increases with influence. God's standard for leadership isn't about shame or condemnation. It's about governance, alignment, and the stewardship of what He's entrusted to you.If you've been navigating subtle unrest in your business or team—loss of peace, scattered clarity, or stagnation in growth—this conversation will help you identify where the drift began and how to realign with grace.Kingdom leadership doesn't demand perfection.But it does require the courage to recalibrate—before cracks become collapses.If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step. Join my Business Unlimited Group Mentoring Program—a Christ-centered community where we fast, pray, plan, and build together with prophetic precision and practical strategies.

Imagine spending or investing $0.02 per click with 619+ Global Million Pinterest Users? The Pinterest Playbook for Business Growth is here!Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS, host of the We Don't PLAY!™️ Podcast and Pinterest-certified SEO strategist, leads a live Clubhouse session breaking down the difference between Pinterest marketing (organic) and Pinterest advertising (paid).Joined by John, Dr. Cynthia, and Ramyar, Favour shares real client case studies, including one that jumped from 54M to 154M Google image impressions in three months using Pinterest.He reveals why Pinterest is a visual search engine with 619 million monthly active users, 96% unbranded searches, and 3x higher shopping ad conversions.Key TakeawaysPinterest is a visual search engine, not social media. Users arrive early in their planning phase, making them high-intent buyers.96% of Pinterest searches are unbranded. Your content reaches people who have never heard of you but are searching for your solution.Pin shelf life crushes Instagram. A pin lasts 3.5 to 5 months; add a blog link and it extends to 24 months vs. Instagram's 72 hours.Pinterest indirectly boosts Google rankings. One client went from 54M to 154M Google image impressions in three months via Pinterest.Use Pinterest to A/B test creatives for free. Post five graphics organically for 14 days, then run paid ads only on the top performers.Separate personal and business accounts. Use your domain email for business to claim 100% content ownership via Pinterest's hub.Memorable Quotes"Pinterest is a visual search engine. Drop the P and it's interest. Pinterest has a taste bud of interest and keywords." — Favour Obasi-ike [18:34]"85% of weekly users purchase from pins, and 45% of US Pinterest households earn over $150K a year." — Favour Obasi-ike [27:14]"Pinterest is the least skipped platform for ads.

Pinterest advertising is paid: targeted ads by zip code, interest, and device for quick visibility.Q: How does Pinterest help my Google rankings?A: Your website images appear in Google Images and Bing Images via Pinterest, acting as a backlink and image traffic source that compounds domain authority.Q: Can I target locally on Pinterest?A: Yes. Pinterest allows ad targeting by zip code, making it powerful for local businesses.Q: What is the best way to test ad creatives cheaply?A: Post five creatives organically for 14 days, rank by impressions, then run paid A/B tests only on the top two winners.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

#104:Welcome back to the Lenders Playbook Podcast. This is episode 104, and I'm your host, Matt Rosen.Today we sit down with Roy Landers. An attorney and former judge... and I've got to say — this was one of the most eye-opening and fun conversations I've had in a while.Roy buys profitable small businesses from retiring owners and scales them with investors. It's an incredible model for entrepreneurs who want to own a business without starting from scratch.Many of these acquisitions also include real estate, creating opportunities for loans backed by strong collateral, cash flow for investors, and sometimes even equity participation when the deal makes sense.We talk about mergers and acquisitions... buying boring, service-based businesses, scaling them, buying more, and eventually exiting.This is truly a fascinating niche, and I know you're going to love this one.First a Quick shoutout to one of the lenders we work with — Deephaven Mortgage.If you're a real estate investor who's ever been told ‘you don't qualify' by a traditional bank, this is exactly why Deephaven exists. They specialize in Non-QM loans, which basically means they look at deals differently — using common sense and flexible underwriting instead of rigid government guidelines.They work with over 1,000 mortgage brokers nationwide and fund loans for investors, landlords, and entrepreneurs who don't always fit the traditional box.Deephaven is headquartered in Charlotte and backed by Pretium, a major investment manager in real estate and mortgage finance.If you're looking for financing on your next deal, reach out to me and I'll see if Deephaven could be a fit. Oct. 9-10, 2026American Lending ConferenceNational Private Lending Conferencehttps://www.americanlendingconference.com/

Cash flow is the number one reason businesses fail—even profitable ones. Luis Serrano, Founder of Serrano Bookkeeping, joins the show to discuss why trades businesses struggle with cash flow and how to fix it. From understanding the stress in-house bookkeepers face to implementing practical strategies for maintaining 2-3 months of operational capital, Luis shares insights on breaking the cycle of being "profitable but broke." Plus, NCG Business Coach Kathryn Freeman weighs in on real-world cash flow challenges, including the dangers of making financial decisions based solely on tax benefits without considering cash flow implications.Today's Podcast is brought to you by PaintScout

Marketing stopped working? Here's the system I use to restart business momentum fast. In this video, I walk through the exact 4-step process I used to restart momentum in our marketing after things started sliding. Within weeks our demo volume doubled, our sales team was scrambling to keep up, and the entire team's energy shifted. If your business growth has stalled, it's rarely because you need more tactics. It's usually because the system driving momentum broke. I'll show you how to rebuild it using a simple plan, leading metrics, a strong cadence, and a proof engine that fuels your marketing. ----------------------------------------- Learn the ONE Bottleneck that you HAVE to solve to kickstart growth in your business with the Theory of Constraints - https://youtu.be/UL_mm91j9d8 ----------------------------------------- Get my Business Growth Levels and EFF Graphics: https://trevormauch.com/freedom Follow me on Instagram: @trevor.mauch Evergreen Marketing Podcast: https://plnk.to/Carrot Join the Evergreen Marketing Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity Take a demo of Carrot: https://carrot.com/choose-demo ----------------------------------------- Quotes from the Episode: “Simple scales.

If your business is built on your thinking, your insight, and your ability to diagnose problems, giving strategy away for free is not generosity. It's a broken revenue model. Too many consultants, advisors, and service-based professionals fall into the same pattern. We jump on call after call, answer “quick questions,” and unpack strategy before someone has made any real commitment. It feels productive in the moment. But the reality is different. Time gets drained. Energy disappears. Proposals get ghosted. And while we're entertaining window shoppers, the people who are actually ready to invest are waiting. In this episode, we break down the mindset shift many consultants need to make: clarity itself has value. Diagnosing problems, identifying direction, and helping someone understand what to do next is real work. Lawyers charge for advice. Doctors charge for diagnosis. Accountants charge for insight. Strategists, marketers, and consultants should too. In addition, let's unpack the larger reality happening across modern marketing and business. Why many companies misuse paid advertising, why marketing cannot fix weak products, and why the explosion of AI-driven content makes authentic positioning and human connection more important than ever. If you're a consultant, strategist, coach, or service-based entrepreneur who feels stuck chasing conversations that never convert, this episode will challenge how you think about value, boundaries, and how you position your expertise in the market. Key Topics Covered: Why letting people “pick your brain” for free undermines your business The hidden revenue cost of endless discovery calls Why chasing vanity metrics and pipeline volume can hurt real growth The difference between window shoppers and serious buyers Why clarity, diagnosis, and strategy are valuable services How consultants accidentally train clients to expect free expertise Why marketing cannot fix weak products or poor positioning When paid advertising actually works and when it doesn't Why human creativity and connection still matter in an AI-driven market How boundaries and positioning increase both revenue and respect Beyond The Episode Gems: Buy My Book, Strategize Up: The Blueprint To Scale Your Business: StrategizeUpBook.com Discover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast Network Get Free HubSpot Marketing Tools To Help You Grow Your Business Grow Your Business Faster Using HubSpot's CRM Platform Support The Podcast & Connect With Troy:  Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/Reviews Follow Troy's Socials @FindTroy: LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, TikTok Subscribe to Troy's YouTube Channel For Strategy Videos & See Masterclass Episodes Need Growth Strategy, A Keynote Speaker, Or Want To Sponsor The Podcast?

Courtney De Ronde is a financial decoder. As the CEO of Forge Financial & Management Consulting in West Des Moines, Iowa, she studies the same financial data that owners and comptrollers review, but she uncovers opportunities and risks within the numbers that most business leaders miss. Additionally, Courtney is the creator of the Simple Scale-Up System, a framework designed to help established businesses grow in a smarter way — increasing revenue and profitability without adding unnecessary complexity. As Courtney explains, not all growth is good growth. Many companies expand their revenue but find themselves working harder, managing more people, incurring additional expenses, and somehow ending up with the same — or even less — income. True scaling, she explains, happens when leaders build systems, processes, and teams that allow their companies to grow efficiently and with fewer headaches. If you're running a company and want to make smarter financial decisions, improve profitability, and scale your organization without burning yourself out, this is one episode you don't want to miss. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.
