Podcasts about business growth strategies

From $300/month to $3,200/month: This episode contains lessons from my trial-and-error offers over the years. If you've been quietly tinkering with your offer for months, waiting for the perfect logo, the perfect website, and the perfect moment… this is your sign to just sell the thing.I'm Jenna, and in this episode of Shiny New Clients, I'm breaking down how to craft and price your first (or next) offer without the overthinking and perfectionism that stop most small business owners from ever making a sale.From starting as a reluctant social media manager at $300/month to building a multi-writer agency with offers over $3,200/month, I've learned a lot about the trial-and-error reality of entrepreneurship. Today, I'm sharing some unglamorous truths:Your first price will probably be “wrong”—and that's okay.What is "Scope creep"? (and how and it's your job to notice it before the resentment kicks in).The fastest path to a validated offer is to get brave and sell to your existing network first.We'll talk marketing, business, entrepreneurship, and social media strategy in a way that actually gets money coming in— even if it's a bit bootstrappy.

Send us a textIn this insightful episode of the Business Growth Talks podcast, Mark Hayward dives into the transformational lessons extracted from Michael E. Gerber's influential book, "The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It." This discussion is packed with practical insights for entrepreneurs and small business owners who are eager to break free from the burnout cycle and scale their operations effectively. Through a detailed exploration of Gerber's core lessons, Mark empowers listeners with the strategies necessary to transition from merely working in their businesses to successfully working on their businesses.The episode kicks off by debunking the "Entrepreneurial Myth," which is the misleading belief that skill in your craft automatically translates into business success. Throughout the episode, SEO-friendly themes such as small business growth, entrepreneurial freedom, and systematization are thoroughly explored. Mark breaks down Gerber's nine essential lessons, emphasizing the importance of system-building over dependency and the need for a balanced approach among the technician, manager, and entrepreneur roles. Listeners are encouraged to adopt a strategic mindset, documenting processes and creating clear organizational structures even if they are solopreneurs, in order to elevate their ventures from self-reliant jobs to thriving, self-sufficient businesses.Key Takeaways:Understanding the Entrepreneurial Myth: Possessing a skill doesn't guarantee successful business ownership; you must build a business model around your expertise.Balancing Business Roles: Every entrepreneur plays the roles of technician, manager, and entrepreneur; neglecting any of these roles can hinder business growth.Systems Over Dependence: Establishing systems facilitates business growth and sustainability; without them, you're merely creating a job for yourself.Documentation is Key: Logging processes and tasks is crucial for scaling and sustaining business operations, especially for solopreneurs.Personal Development Equals Business Growth: The business is a reflection of the owner's skills and organization; personal development directly impacts business success.Resources:Michael E.

Are you the biggest bottleneck in your business—and don't even realize it? You didn't build your company to babysit it. But if you're still the one making every call, solving every fire, and holding the reins so tightly no one else can lead...this episode is your wake-up call. In this second installment of the special mini-series on the seven essential transitions every successful woman must navigate when she knows it's time for something new, Kris explores what it really means to step into the advisory consultant role for the very business you created and the team you built. If you've ever felt the urge to evolve beyond the business you built, this is your roadmap—and your invitation. It's not just about delegation. It's about identity. Because learning to release control doesn't start with your team—it starts with you. Letting go of being the person who approves every decision, solves every problem, or catches every dropped ball requires more than systems—it requires a shift in who you believe yourself to be. Kris walks through why founders get stuck in a cycle of over-functioning, how perfectionism masks fear, and why holding the metaphorical bat too tightly means no one else will dare take a swing. Here's what we explore: The difference between being essential and being in the way Why your team may be relying on you more than they need to What mentorship and true leadership actually look like How to grow your business by getting out of the weeds What really happens—emotionally and practically—when you loosen your grip This episode calls you forward—not to abandon your company, but to evolve into a different kind of leader: one who guides instead of manages, who advises instead of reacts, and who trusts her team to rise.

Remember that shiny budget and those big goals you made in January when the year felt fresh and full of possibilities? If your business (or life) looks different now than it did months ago, you're not failing, you're simply running a real business in the real world. Things shift. You adapt. In this episode, Danielle Hayden, CEO and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., walks you through one of her favorite CFO tools: reforecasting. It's not about starting over—it's about realigning your financial strategy with where you are right now. Key Takeaways:  Reforecasting = Realignment, Not Failure: Your original budget was based on what you knew at the time. Updating it doesn't mean you failed—it means you're leading with clarity and making strategic decisions based on your current reality.   Start with Solid Bookkeeping: Before you can reforecast, your financial foundation needs to be accurate. Without clean, up-to-date books, your forecast is a guess and isn't providing you with proper clarity. Use Actual Data + Updated Insights: Effective reforecasting combines what you know now, your business's year-to-date (YTD), with your revised budget to project the rest of the year. Reforecasting Should Be Routine: Use this tool anytime your business shifts, like if there's a change in revenue, a team adjustment, a new offer, or even a personal life change that impacts your work. Rewire Your Mindset: There's no shame in changing the plan. In fact, there's power in it. Adapting your financial strategy is a sign of leadership, not failure.  Topics Discussed: (00:19 – 01:14) Why is Reforecasting Important in Financial Planning?  (01:14 – 02:28) What is Reforecasting in Business? (03:32 – 06:12) When Should You Reforecast?

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, John McMahon and John Kaplan dive into the critical role adaptability plays in career success. They explore why some professionals resist change, how coachability and curiosity shape growth, and what leaders should look for when hiring top talent. Through real-world examples and insights, they unpack the psychology behind adaptability, trust, and long-term potential in business and sales leadership.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:25] The Misconception About Adaptability – Many professionals mistakenly see adaptability as a weakness rather than a strength[00:01:28] The Evolution of Career Mobility – Job-hopping is no longer a red flag but an expectation in today's job market[00:02:39] Trust, Micromanagement, and Coaching Resistance – Leaders should examine the deeper reasons behind employee concerns about trust.[00:03:44] The Fear of Change and Growth – Some individuals resist coaching because they fear exposing what they don't know.[00:04:07] The Link Between Coachability and Adaptability – Success depends on both being coachable and having the courage to act on feedback.[00:04:58] The Ceiling Effect in Performance – Those who resist change often never reach their full potential[00:05:25] Curiosity as a Key to Growth – A lack of adaptability often correlates with a lack of curiosity[00:06:47] Recognizing and Managing Resistance in Employees – Leaders must understand when an employee's resistance to change is really about their comfort zone.QUOTES[00:02:17] "It's not a problem not to know, but it is a crime punishable by death not to do anything about it and not to ask."}[00:04:07] "Coachability and adaptability go together—you have to be coachable first, then courageous enough to change."[00:04:58] "The best performers never protect their current level—they always push for what's next."[00:05:25] "Curiosity and adaptability are deeply connected—those unwilling to ask ‘what if' often resist growth."[00:06:09] "When employees pull the ‘trust card,' it's often their last resort to avoid change."Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/the-importance-of-recruiting-behavioral-traits-with-chaz-maclaughlinEnjoying the podcast?

Send us a textWhat transforms a simple business transaction into a life-changing moment of connection? For Idan Shpizear, founder of 911 Restoration, the answer lies in truly seeing people first, then addressing their practical needs.When Idan arrived in America with barely $1,000 and limited English skills, the path forward wasn't clear. Sharing a one-bedroom apartment with four friends, they had exactly 30 days to make enough money for rent. Their entry point? Carpet cleaning – communicating through hand gestures while slowly building vocabulary specific to their trade.The pivotal moment came when Idan was called to extract water from a flooded home. While his team charged $600 for the extraction, another company arrived afterward, bringing equipment and charging $15,000 for full restoration services. But something crucial was missing: they completely ignored the homeowner's emotional distress.This observation sparked the revolutionary "Fresh Start" philosophy that would define 911 Restoration. Idan recognized that during property disasters, homeowners experience emotional disasters simultaneously. By teaching his team to take deep breaths before entering homes, genuinely listen to concerns, and help clients see possibility amidst chaos, he created both a thriving business and a vehicle for positive impact.From this human-centered approach, Idan built a franchise empire now spanning 120 owners across 330 territories. His leadership philosophy evolved too – regularly asking himself "If I fired myself today, why would I hire me back?" led him to transition from CEO to founder, recognizing he could add more value by building momentum in specific projects rather than managing daily operations.Perhaps most profound is Idan's perspective on wealth: "Real wealth is based on our ability to really experience every moment." This wisdom extends beyond business to encompass the true measure of a successful life – being fully present for each interaction, challenge, and opportunity.Connect with Idan on LinkedIn to learn more about his fresh start approach to business and life.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.----------------------------------------------P.S.

Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Philippa Channer, and this month we're digging into the business activities that actually drive your growth. If you've been tuning in regularly, you know we're on a journey to help you build a smarter, more intentional business—one that works for you and not the other way around. Last week in Episode 182, we focused on identifying the tasks that genuinely move your business forward. This week, we're taking that knowledge a step further—because knowing what matters is one thing, but knowing what to do first is where the magic happens. Prioritizing effectively is what helps you move out of reaction mode and into your CEO mindset, where you're confidently steering the ship, not scrambling to bail water. So whether you're mapping out your next big launch, managing a team, or still wearing all the hats—this episode is designed to help you find clarity, ditch the busywork, and create real momentum. ⏱️ Timestamps & Key Segments (00:00) Welcome & Episode Overview We begin by grounding ourselves in the “why.” Summer is a strategic season—while many slow down, it's your chance to ramp up for a powerful fall. I remind you how the Empower Her Program can support you during this planning phase. [INSERT LINK] to explore your options. (01:00) Step 1: Identify High-Value vs. Low-Value Tasks All tasks are not created equal—and if you're spending hours tweaking your website or organizing your inbox, it might be time to reassess. I share a real example where I spent four hours trying to automate something that only saves me 15 minutes per week. That's a classic case of a low-value rabbit hole. High-value tasks? Think lead generation, offer creation, follow-ups, and collaborations—things that actually bring revenue or visibility.

Send us a textThe path from employee to entrepreneur is rarely straightforward, but Aram Street's journey from certified butler to successful business owner offers a masterclass in calculated risk-taking and resilient entrepreneurship. When faced with an impending job loss from his position managing a 25,000 square foot mansion, Aram made the deliberate choice to bet on himself rather than seeking another employer.What makes his story particularly compelling is the practical reality of launching a business while supporting a growing family (now with five children). Without romanticizing entrepreneurship, Aram shares how he supplemented his emerging cleaning business with rideshare driving and food delivery – doing whatever necessary to keep finances stable while building something sustainable. His candid insights demolish the "overnight success" myth while illuminating what true entrepreneurial commitment looks like.Aram's evolution as a business owner reveals crucial lessons in adaptability and opportunity recognition. Some of his most profitable business developments stemmed from opportunities he initially rejected multiple times. His transition from residential to commercial cleaning – now his primary revenue source – almost didn't happen due to his initial reluctance to expand beyond his comfort zone. This experience transformed his approach to new possibilities: "I no longer say no to anything immediately."Throughout our conversation, Aram emphasizes the value of mentorship and learning from others who've already navigated similar paths. Had he sought more guidance early on, he could have avoided numerous costly mistakes. For aspiring entrepreneurs, his message is refreshingly honest: expect to work harder than anticipated, for longer than expected, while making less than you hoped – but for those committed to ownership and financial independence, the journey remains worthwhile.As Aram perfectly summarizes: "It can be done, but it's probably harder than you think." With unprecedented access to information and connectivity, entrepreneurial possibilities are greater than ever – but success still demands perseverance, strategic thinking, and willingness to adapt along the way.

Episode Overview: In this power-packed episode, John Kitchens is joined by Joel Perso for a real talk on one of the most underrated weapons in your business: your calendar. If you're feeling scattered, stuck in low-value activities, or just exhausted from chasing everything but achieving nothing—this conversation will snap you out of it. They dive into the mindset, frameworks, and daily habits that create momentum—not chaos. From the Productivity Pyramid to MVPs, the 168-Hour Rule, and the power of strategic thinking time, this episode is a masterclass in taking control of your time so you can finally move the needle in your life and business. Whether you're a solo agent, team leader, or entrepreneur juggling multiple roles, this episode will help you re-align, re-focus, and reclaim your week—one rock-solid calendar block at a time. Key Takeaways: There is no middle market anymore. The divide in the industry is real—agents are either thriving or freezing. There's no in-between. Distraction is the new pandemic. From AI overwhelm to lawsuits and brokerage drama, agents are more paralyzed than ever. Here's how to break the drift. Get grounded with the 168 Rule. You have 168 hours a week—what you do with it will determine your freedom or your frustration. Start with big rocks. Health, relationships, and mental clarity go in the calendar first. Business fills in second. Use the Productivity Pyramid. Focus on high-lifetime and high-dollar value activities. Delegate or delete the rest. Build an Ideal Week, not a fantasy one. Success is inevitable when you block the time, stick to your MVPs, and treat calendar time like million-dollar listing appointments. Leverage strategic thinking time. Ask: Where are we winning? What's breaking? What do we need to stop doing? Say no more often. If it's not a 9 or 10 in priority—it's a no. Protect your calendar like it's your equity.

This episode is your backstage pass to understanding how investors really think and how you can get in the room.What you'll learn on this episodeUntapped markets aren't always new sometimes they're old industries approached differently.Most people fail not because of bad ideas, but because of a lack of belief and clarity.Business success starts with solving people's problems, not chasing trends.Pattern recognition is learned from losses, not textbooks.Transparency in leadership attracts capital and people masking your weaknesses repels both.Markets reward disruption especially when others say “that's how it's always been done.”Real growth starts when you stop pretending to be perfect and start owning your gaps.At the heart of this conversation is a simple truth: real business success comes from clearly communicating value and solving real problems. If you're working to sharpen that clarity in your own business, Dan's upcoming book Teach to Sell offers a practical framework to help you attract clients and opportunities by leading with what you know.
