Podcasts about business growth

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.

Am I the problem? Is it me and the way that I am showing up? If your business strategy isn't working, your marketing feels stuck, or you keep starting things without finishing them, the issue might not be your strategy. It might be that you don't trust yourself to execute it.You can have the perfect funnel, the perfect offer, the perfect sales process, and still self-sabotage everything if you lack self-trust. I work with scaling entrepreneurs every day who think they need a new strategy when what they actually need is to stop abandoning themselves mid-execution. Your business will never be stable if you as the founder are not stable. I'm breaking down what self-trust actually is in business (spoiler: it's not confidence), the signs you don't trust yourself (asking everyone for opinions before deciding, losing momentum after starting strong, procrastinating on high ROI tasks, overcomplicating simple things, avoiding feedback), how lack of self-trust shows up in your execution and launches, why you keep changing strategies instead of seeing them through, and how to build evidence-based self-trust starting today. This includes the surfboard analogy that will completely reframe how you see your role in business growth.Every day you blame the strategy is a day you ignore that you might be the common denominator. This isn't about blame, it's about opportunity to finally break the pattern.02:41 Defining Self-Trust07:47 Decision Making and Self-Trust11:13 Execution and Momentum14:27 Avoiding Hard Work and Conversations18:02 Leadership and Delegation21:21 Comparison and Self-Trust24:36 The Role of Strategy and Self-Trust30:20 Surfing the Waves of Business Challenges33:07 Self-Sabotage and Personal Accountability33:57 Trusting Yourself in Business and Personal Life35:30 Identifying and Overcoming Self-Sabotage37:14 Building Self-Trust Through Consistency44:18 Navigating Fear and Decision Making46:04 Understanding the Roots of Self-Doubt56:09 The Importance of Self-Trust in Scaling Your BusinessTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Inspired Choices for Business Growth with Christine McIver  In this episode, Christine explores a pattern that quietly keeps many business owners stuck; victim thinking. Blaming the economy, your clients, marketing, or timing can feel justified... yet it often gives your power away. This conversation is not about shame or denying real challenges; it is about noticing where responsibility has been outsourced and how that limits your ability to lead. When blame replaces ownership, growth slows and frustration builds. By bringing responsibility back to yourself, you regain clarity, choice, and momentum. Leadership begins when you stop waiting for circumstances to change and start deciding how you will respond.

How Your About Page Can Drive Real Business GrowthYour About page is one of the most powerful — and most underutilized — pieces of your website. In this episode, Jan Touchberry breaks down what a high-converting About page actually needs to do, why most of them miss the mark, and how to rewrite yours so it connects, builds trust, and leads your ideal client to take action.If your website isn't bringing in inquiries, your About page might be part of the problem. This episode gives you a clear framework to fix it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:1. The Purpose Shift: From Bio → BridgeWhy the traditional “all about me” bio is outdated and ineffectiveHow to reposition your About page as a bridge between your story and your client's struggleWhy connection — not credentials — is what builds trustHow Jesus modeled presence and empathy (and what that means for your website)2. The Anatomy of an About Page That ConvertsA simple, high-performing structure you can use today:Lead with your reader, not yourselfOpen with empathy, not “Hi, I'm [Your Name].”Share your story — with restraintOnly include details that create trust and relevance.Highlight your values (and faith, if it's core to your brand)Let your convictions show up naturally, not preachy.Establish credibility with specificityReplace vague claims with concrete examples and results.End with a clear CTA (always)Make the next step obvious: book a call, view services, or download a resource.What to Cut from Your About Page (Immediately)Third-person writing (unless you're a corporate brand)Random fun facts that don't serve the clientGeneric phrases like “empowering women”Credential dumpingNo clear call-to-actionToo much backstory — focus on the turning point insteadQuick test: If you get bored reading it out loud, your reader will too.Your 30–60 Minute About Page Audit (Action Steps)Ask yourself:Does my first sentence speak directly to my ideal client?

You don't need more leads. You need a business that stops resetting itself every few months. In this episode, Lori breaks down the final two stages of the client journey, Refer and Return, where real momentum and sustainability are built. Referrals are not about luck or asking harder. They are created through clear results, a strong client experience, and giving clients the language to talk about what you do. Lori explains why even happy clients often do not refer, how testimonials support referrals, and why both are essential for shortening your sales cycle. You will also learn why most clients do not return, not because they are unhappy, but because they do not know what comes next. By intentionally seeding the next step and staying visible without selling, you can turn one-time clients into long-term relationships and predictable growth. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why referrals must be designed, not hoped for How testimonials and referrals work together to build trust faster How to create a clear next step so clients return instead of disappearing   Schedule your Profitable Path Blueprint call.  If you're considering working together and want to see if it's a fit, book a Profitable Path Blueprint Call.

From Humanitarian Roots To Boredom Breakouts: Reinventing Leadership With Neuroscience And GritStart with candor and stay for the courage. Kelly sits down with Sarah, the founder of Boredroom Breakouts and creator of Power Up, to explore how immersive experiences—think rock walls, flying trapeze, and creative challenges—rewire leaders and teams faster than another deck in a conference room. What begins as a lighthearted riff on words shifts into a deep dive on fear's architecture, motherhood's guardrails, and the kind of community that won't let you quit.Sarah shares the arc from leading humanitarian trips to building a neuroscience-informed space where teams practice under pressure and leave having already done the work together. We unpack three core social fears—separation, ego death, and loss of autonomy—and translate them into clear choices: how to see what your brain is protecting, when to face it, and how to build the cognitive muscle to choose courage. Along the way, we challenge perfection in favor of excellence, and we talk honestly about the heart tugs that help parents and founders make timely course corrections without guilt.This conversation is full of practical takeaways: four pillars to anchor growth (challenge, courage, connection, consistency), a “guardrails” model for presence, and a rehearsal mindset that turns teams into true teams. We also get personal—on spousal support that changes everything, faith as clear guidance, and legacy as capacity shared widely rather than wealth hoarded. If you've ever felt stuck in a fear loop, burned out by meetings, or hungry for a leadership approach that feels alive, this is your sign to try something different.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who leads a team, and leave a review with one fear you're ready to face next. Your words help others find conversations that move them.Resources:Amplify Your Influence - Rene RodriguezThink Like A Monk - Jay ShettyThe Blue Zones - Connect with Sarah:LinkedIn: Sarah LinePowerUp Training Club: PowerUPWebsite: Boredroom BreakoutsContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: The Hue Drop Newsletter: Subscribe Here IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page CAKES Affiliate Link: KELLYKIRK Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

Feeling pressure to launch a groundbreaking TPT resource right out of the gate? Let's flip that script. We walk through a practical path that favors simplicity, clarity, and momentum so you can master the listing process, reduce stress, and build a store that grows with you.We start with a counterintuitive truth: your first product's job isn't to make money; it's to teach you the workflow. From file prep to keyworded titles, from scannable covers to persuasive previews, we break down each step and show why familiar formats like task cards, color by number, and card sorts are the smartest training ground. You'll learn how to analyze top sellers, borrow proven visual cues, and create reusable templates in Canva or PowerPoint that cut production time and sharpen your brand.We also unpack the hidden cost of launching something wildly original too soon. If a teacher can't understand your product in three seconds of search-grid scanning, they won't click. That's not a creativity problem—it's a communication problem. We explain how to avoid it, when to take creative risks, and how to phase your growth: start simple, lock your systems, then add unique twists with clear benefit statements. Along the way, we lean into a sustainable mindset—less pressure, more practice—and share why we're shifting tutorials to YouTube where you can see step-by-step screens and follow along at your own pace.If you want a playbook that turns overwhelm into action and helps you ship your next product with confidence, this is your map.
