The human tendency to seek "hacks" and "loopholes" instead of doing the basic, consistent work required for success. Using personal stories about health and business, Frank explains why the simplest solution is often the most effective—and the hardest to start. Key Takeaways Avoid the "Hack" Trap: Humans naturally seek systems, shortcuts, and loopholes to avoid difficult, obvious truths. The Power of Consistency: Whether it is losing weight or writing sales copy, the secret is simply doing the work every single day. Accepting the "Punch": Success requires getting in the "metaphorical ring" and being willing to fail and get back up again. Volume Leads to Expertise: Mastery, such as becoming an expert copywriter, comes from repetitive practice over a short, intense period. Episode Highlights The 45-Inch Waist Wake-Up Call Frank shares a personal story about a recent doctor's visit where he was confronted with a 45-inch waistline. Despite his immediate instinct to search Amazon for a "hack" or a shortcut, the solution was the one he already knew: eat less and work out more. Business Success is No Different When Frank needed to raise capital for a new company investment—specifically a Rolls-Royce Phantom 8 for client experience—he didn't look for a new "secret" system. Instead, he sat down and did the fundamental task: he wrote a sales letter. The 30-Day Mastery Challenge Frank recounts the story of an 18-year-old student who wanted to be a great copywriter. The advice was simple: write a sales letter every day for 30 days on any topic—from duct tape to water. By doing the work consistently, the student became an expert in just one month. Memorable Quotes "There is always going to be a simple solution... eat less, work out more, and number three, of course, consistently." "There is nothing that is going to make it easier except to quit. If you want to be a champion, you just have to get in the ring." "Step number one: do the work. Step number two: refer to step number one."  

Want to submit an episode topic request? Text 'em here!It's honestly starting to feel a little hilarious to me how predictable we are as entrepreneurs. The second we feel stuck in our business, not scaling, not signing clients, not seeing the revenue we expected...we immediately run to strategy.We start revising the offer. We tweak the messaging. We buy another course.We assume something tactical must be broken. But what if the real issue isn't your funnel…it's your FOUNDATION?If you're a Christian Creator or Entrepreneur trying to build your business God's way, but when pressure hits you default to worldly strategy first...then this episode is going to lovingly challenge you.Because I've been there too. I am actively working on this myself actually. Here's what I've been reflecting on deeply: Jesus is the best “marketer” who ever lived. Not because He was chasing money, but because He modeled clarity, consistency, leadership, impact, and sustainability better than anyone.If He is the way, the truth, and the life...then He is also the model for how we build what God has placed in our hands.In this episode, I break down three biblical patterns that could be the very reason you feel stuck right now. We talk about consistent and specific messaging, building with support instead of isolating yourself, and the kind of productive rest that actually accelerates growth instead of slowing it down.If your business feels chaotic or inconsistent…if you keep revising strategy but still feel spiritually unsettled…if burnout has quietly become “normal” for you…then this conversation is going to hit.This is not about spiritual fluff. This is about sustainable revenue, aligned marketing, and building something that works long-term without sacrificing your peace.The Bible is not just a spiritual solution. It is THE solution. And sometimes the reason you're stuck isn't because you need a new tactic. It's because you've been running to the wrong source FIRST.And if you're ready for personal support implementing this into your specific business, I am opening 3 private one-on-one mentorship spots! We will build your system, strengthen your messaging, increase your revenue, and do it God's way. I stay with you until you get actual income results...your success is my mission and I'm committed to helping you achieve it. If it feels aligned, book a casual chat with me here. No pressure. Just a real conversation about where you are and where you're called to go! https://calendly.com/meetwithangelmarie/chatwithangelI'm rooting for you more than you know!  Prefer Video?

Building the Business You Really Want: Strategic Alignment and Intentional Success with Gwen BortnerIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Gwen Bortner, the founder of Everyday Effectiveness, to explore the vital intersection of business strategy and personal fulfillment. With a career spanning over four decades and 47 different industries, Gwen brings a master-level perspective to organizational design and leadership accountability. Their conversation serves as a roadmap for entrepreneurs—particularly women leaders—who find themselves achieving traditional milestones of "success" yet feeling disconnected from the joy and purpose that originally sparked their journey. Gwen shares how to dismantle the "shoulds" of the business world to remodel a venture that is both highly effective and deeply aligned with the owner's authentic vision.Reclaiming the Vision: Remodeling Your Business for Long-Term SustainabilityThe transition from a high-growth startup to a sustainable, fulfilling enterprise requires a radical shift in how a leader defines success. Gwen explains that many founders fall into the trap of chasing external benchmarks—revenue targets, headcount, or market status—that don't actually resonate with their personal values. This misalignment often leads to a persistent dread of the workweek and a sense of chronic exhaustion, even when the balance sheet looks healthy. To correct this, business owners must engage in a process of "intentional remodeling," auditing every aspect of their operations to ensure the business is serving the life they want to live, rather than the other way around.A common hurdle for high-achievers is the tendency to move the goalposts the moment a victory is achieved, which effectively eliminates the opportunity for reflection and celebration. Gwen emphasizes that celebrating wins is not just about a temporary "victory lap"; it is a strategic tool for identifying what is actually working within the business. By conducting a "success audit," entrepreneurs can isolate the specific behaviors and strategies that led to a positive outcome, allowing them to replicate those results with less friction in the future. Without this pause to acknowledge progress, leaders risk burning out on a treadmill of endless tasks that offer no emotional return on investment.Strategic advisory plays a crucial role in this process, acting as a mirror for the "hard questions" that entrepreneurs often avoid. Gwen describes her role as a strategic accountability partner who helps CEOs cut through the noise of daily operations to confront uncomfortable truths about their direction. This level of intentionality ensures that any pivot or change in the business model is a conscious choice based on long-term goals rather than a reactive response to temporary distractions. By building a culture of strategic questioning and embracing mindfulness—even through creative hobbies that engage the brain in new ways—leaders can maintain the clarity needed to build a legacy that is as sustainable as it is profitable.About Gwen BortnerGwen Bortner is the Owner, Consultant, and Speaker behind Everyday Effectiveness. With more than 40 years of experience helping organizations scale and align, Gwen specializes in acting as an "advisory board of one" for women CEOs and founders. She is known for her holistic approach to business, combining high-level strategic thinking with a deep focus on personal accountability and fulfillment.About Everyday EffectivenessEveryday Effectiveness is a strategic consultancy that helps business owners move from feeling overwhelmed to achieving intentional, effective growth. The company provides strategic advisory services, accountability coaching, and resources designed to help entrepreneurs remodel their businesses for better alignment, sustainability, and joy.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeEveryday Effectiveness Official WebsiteGwen Bortner on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsDefining Authentic Success: Why entrepreneurs must stop chasing industry "shoulds" and create their own metrics for a fulfilling life and business.The Warning Signs of Misalignment: How to recognize when your business model is no longer serving your personal well-being or long-term vision.The Strategic Value of Hobbies: Why engaging in repetitive, mindful activities like quilting can actually sharpen a leader's problem-solving faculties.Success Auditing: The importance of pausing to celebrate wins and analyzing what worked to build reproducible momentum.The Power of the "Hard Question": How having an external advisory perspective can help you avoid "shiny object syndrome" and stay committed to your true goals.ConclusionThis conversation with Gwen Bortner underscores that the ultimate goal of entrepreneurship should be freedom and fulfillment, not just financial gain. By prioritizing strategic alignment and having the courage to ask difficult questions, you can remodel your path to create a business that truly serves you.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Guest: Reggie Brock – Founder, Propel (Culture + Accountability System)Guest Links: Website: https://culturaldisruptor.comThis episode breaks down why culture is not a “soft skill,” but the hidden asset that determines whether a home service company can scale, endure pressure, and keep great people. It explains how most contractors obsess over recruiting and marketing to get people in the front door, but neglect the systems required to keep them from walking out the back door, creating constant churn that quietly destroys time, trust, and momentum. The episode unpacks the “Airbnb mentality” in roofing—temporary teams, transactional leadership, and revolving-door hiring—and contrasts it with building true “residency” where people feel they belong through acknowledged contribution, clarity, and healthy collaboration. It also challenges the hustle-only mindset, showing why more activity doesn't solve misalignment, and why slowing down to diagnose what's actually happening inside the business is often the real growth lever. The episode introduces how Propel helps leaders stop guessing by pulling real feedback from teams, surfacing early warning signals before damage shows up, and guiding companies through six alignment pillars like clarity, communication, collaboration, chemistry, and contribution. Ultimately, this is a blueprint for contractors who want to distribute the weight of leadership, reduce the “ache” that forces owners to sell early, and build a culture strong enough that it becomes an advantage private equity can't buy.

Stop Chasing "Dead Wood": The Modern Strategy for Real Estate Note InvestingThe real estate market is shifting, and for note investors, the old ways of finding deals are quickly becoming obsolete. In this episode of Note Night in America, Scott Carson dives deep into why most investors are struggling to find quality owner-financed notes and, more importantly, how to pivot toward a 21st-century marketing strategy. If you've been spending thousands on direct mail only to get a 1% response rate, it's time to stop chasing "dead wood" and start targeting the sources that actually hold the keys to the kingdom.The State of the Market: 2026 and BeyondUnderstanding the current landscape is the first step to successful investing. While foreclosure inventories remain below pre-pandemic lows, the "top of the funnel" tells a different story:Rising Delinquencies: 30-day and 90-plus day delinquencies have consistently been at or above pre-pandemic levels for the last 18 months.Foreclosure Starts: We are seeing dramatic increases, with foreclosure starts reaching 95% of pre-pandemic levels.The "Crumb" Side of Business: Success right now isn't about buying massive portfolios; it's about making one-off offers on non-performing debt by working directly with lenders.Why Your Current Leads Are "Dead Wood"Scott pulls no punches when it comes to traditional lead lists. The "dead wood" refers to recycled, old leads that make you look unprepared on the phone.The 85/15 Rule: 85% of seller carryback loans are one-off transactions where the seller only holds one note. Only 15% are repeat investors who create a reliable stream of deals.Ineffective Marketing: Sending postcards to owner-finance leads often results in less than a 1% response rate—a massive waste of time and capital for new investors.The RMLO Gold Mine: Instead of chasing one-off note holders, you should target Registered Mortgage Loan Originators (RMLOs). In Texas alone, there are over 60,000 licensed RMLOs who are the gatekeepers to quality, compliant paper.How to Find Deals Like a ProTo succeed in today's market, you must move beyond Facebook groups and embrace professional networking tools like LinkedIn and NMLS data.The LinkedIn Strategy: Use specific search terms to find decision-makers. Target "Special Asset Managers," "Chief Credit Risk Officers," "Secondary Marketing Managers," or "Whole Loan Traders" for institutional debt.Targeting the 15%: Search for "Seller Financing Experts" or "Owner Financing RMLOs" to find the professionals who originate quality notes regularly.Leverage Servicing Companies: Use the NMLS consumer access page to find the 235+ servicing companies nationwide. Reach out to their business development teams to see if they have clients looking to sell notes.The "Relationship" Approach: Take local real estate attorneys or title company reps to lunch. One good relationship with a professional who handles owner-financing is worth more than a 10,000-piece mailer.The secret to winning in the note business isn't working harder; it's marketing smarter. By shifting your focus from "dead wood" direct mail to high-level professional relationships with RMLOs, asset managers, and servicers, you position yourself to see the deals that never hit the public forums. It's 2026—your marketing should reflect the technology and data available to you today. Stop fishing in empty ponds and start building the network that feeds you for a lifetime.Watch the Original Video HERE!Love the show?

Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Gail Kasper of Gail Kasper LLC, the hardest thing in growing a small business is dealing with failure and having the resilience to keep going despite repeated setbacks. She explains that as an entrepreneur you get "hit in the face" many times through failed projects, wrong decisions, or ideas that don't take off, and the real challenge is not letting those moments stop you. Instead of quitting, she believes the key is to keep pushing forward, learn from mistakes, take action, and stay committed even when things feel uncertain or discouraging. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? According to Gail Kasper, her favorite business book that has helped her the most is Atomic Habits by James Clear. She values its focus on small, consistent disciplines rather than just chasing big end goals, emphasizing that daily incremental improvements create real momentum. For Gail, the book reinforces that tiny wins build confidence, strengthen habits, and ultimately drive long-term business success. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Gail Kasper, she recommends podcasts and learning resources that strengthen mindset, sales, and brain-based performance, including Huberman Lab for its science-backed insights on stress and peak performance, and The Ed Mylett Show by Ed Mylett for its focus on growth, vulnerability, and high-level thinking. She values resources that blend psychology, communication, and practical application, believing that understanding how people think—especially in sales and leadership—gives small business owners a strong competitive edge. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? One highly recommended tool that Gail Kasper often points small business owners toward is HubSpot CRM, because it helps organize leads, track sales activity, automate follow-ups, and manage customer data in one place — all without needing a big tech team. Gail emphasizes that having a system that captures conversations, schedules reminders, and analyzes what's working versus what's not can dramatically improve consistency in sales and client relationships, which is essential for growth. If you're just getting started, HubSpot's free tier gives you powerful CRM basics, and you can scale into its marketing and automation tools as your business expands. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Gail Kasper, the advice she would give herself on day one of starting out in business is simple: move and take action. When she was suddenly on her own with no money in the bank, she learned that inaction is the real danger, not mistakes. She would remind herself to stay logical instead of emotional, keep pushing forward even when uncertain, and allow herself to fall and learn along the way, because consistent action is what ultimately creates momentum and success.   Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.

What if the heaviness in your business isn't coming from the work itself… but from the pressure to control how it unfolds? In this episode, we explore the powerful (and often misunderstood) role of surrender in business success. For high achievers and entrepreneurs, control can feel like responsibility. Hustle can feel like safety. And pushing harder often feels like the only way forward. But what if forcing isn't the path to growth? What if flow—the kind that feels aligned, steady, and sustainable — comes from something deeper? In this episode we talk about: Why high achievers default to control—and how it's often rooted in nervous system safety The subtle difference between ambition and anxiety What surrender actually looks like in business (and what it's not) How gripping tightly can block clarity, creativity, and expansion The role of identity in moving from pressure to peace Practical ways to shift from reactive decision-making to aligned action in 2026 If you've been feeling the weight of your business lately—overwhelmed, overextended, or quietly misaligned—this conversation will help you soften your grip, regulate your nervous system, and move forward with steadiness instead of strain. Because sometimes the breakthrough isn't in pushing harder. It's in trusting deeper.   Join the 30 Day Abundance Reset: https://theabundancereset.com/   Links: The Empowered Women's Collective Your Limitless Adventures Group Trips Connect With Me: Instagram: @macs_explore Threads: @macs_exploreaee

In this episode of the Angel Mystic Podcast, I explore the powerful idea that luck is not random and that we all have the ability to create our own luck through our energy, beliefs and actions. With Friday the 13th as inspiration, I share why I personally see the date as lucky and explain how our belief systems shape the experiences we attract into our lives. I introduce the concept of Lucky Girl Syndrome, which I see as a playful yet deeply effective mindset that encourages trust in the universe and an expectation that things will work out in your favour.I share personal stories about symbolic lucky items, including a crystal that I have lent to others who believed in its power, showing how shared belief can amplify manifestation and explain that true luck is influenced by three core elements.Throughout the episode, I offer practical guidance on upgrading your energy and regulating your nervous system and I encourage you to embrace playfulness, celebrate small wins and trust that challenges may be guiding you towards something better.I also share Angel guidance for the coming week.Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you usually listen to the Angel Mystic - just search Angel Mystic Podcast and you'll find it.Host Bio:Amanda Tooke renowned Spiritual Teacher and NLP Manifestation Coach is the host of the Angel Mystic Podcast.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with legendary self-defense expert and fear management coach Tony Blauer for an in-depth discussion on betrayal, resilience, and the power of managing fear in business and life. Tony shares candid stories of being betrayed by trusted partners and employees over his 40+ year career, revealing how he's shortened his recovery time from months to mere hours through the principles he teaches. The conversation explores the "timeline of violence" concept applied to business relationships, the importance of trusting your instincts, and why fear—when properly managed—becomes your greatest asset rather than your enemy. Episode Highlights [4:18] Betrayal is Inevitable for Innovators - If you're creating something original and breaking new ground, people will copy you. Tony shares how he went from taking months to recover from betrayal to processing it in 24 hours by building his "resilience muscle" through experience and applying his own fear management principles. [33:34] The Three I's: Instincts, Intuition, and Intelligence - Tony reveals the core of his SPEAR system's soft skills: your instincts give you a "bad feeling," your intuition whispers warnings, but cognitive dissonance often makes you ignore both. Learning to trust these signals and "choose safety" is critical in business partnerships, relationships, and dangerous situations. [53:54] You Can't Be Brave If You're Not Afraid - The primary ingredient of courage is fear. Tony explains why there are things in life you must do afraid, and you'll never not be afraid of them. The key is managing fear rather than eliminating it—mismanaged fear is always negative, but managed fear is always positive. [69:50] The Rational-Lie - We all rationalize why we should or shouldn't do something, but when you put a hyphen between "rational" and "lie," you realize you're selling yourself a story. Tony shares how recognizing your rational-lies—whether in business decisions, relationships, or self-defense situations—is the first step to making better choices. Tony Blauer is a pioneer in close-quarters combat, self-defense, and fear management training with over 40 years of experience. He created the SPEAR System (Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response), the world's only behaviorally-based self-defense protocol founded on neurobiology, kinesiology, and psychology. Tony has trained military special forces, law enforcement agencies, and martial artists worldwide, and his research on fear and human performance has influenced everyone from Hollywood actors to elite operators. He's also developed the "Know Fear" program, teaching people how to convert fear into fuel for peak performance in high-stress situations. At 65, Tony continues to innovate and mentor through Blauer Training Systems, sharing hard-won wisdom on resilience, courage, and the intersection of physical and psychological preparedness.

Are you tired of waking up every day to solve the same business problems? After coaching hundreds of wellness entrepreneurs, I've discovered why most business owners stay stuck: they're not solving the wrong problem because they're confused—they're solving it because their mind doesn't know how to solve the NEXT one. In this episode, I break down: ✅ The 3 business phases (startup, growth, scale) and their specific problems ✅ Why you're addicted to solving the same old problems repeatedly ✅ How to recognize when you're ready for the next level ✅ The uncomfortable truth about business growth (it never gets easy) ✅ Why trying to give clients the whole solution before they pay kills conversions ✅ How to identify the REAL problem vs. the symptoms

New year, new goals… same roadblocks? In this episode, I break down the real reason your business stalls: it's not your funnel or your content calendar, it's your psychology. When your identity says "I'm overwhelmed" or "I'm not influential," no strategy can save you. When your identity says "I own my time" and "I'm a finisher," even simple actions compound. We'll cover: Mindset > Strategy: Why ~80–95% of your results come from psychology, not tactics. Identity first, habits second: How your I am statements become the ceiling—or the launchpad—of your business. RAS 101: Train your Reticular Activating System to spot opportunity (and quit deleting it). Do less, better: Fewer moves, the right energy, and why repetition rewires faster than novelty. 10-minute morning formula: A simple daily process to anchor your vision, elevate your state, and execute. What you'll get A plug-and-play 10-minute morning protocol to rewire identity A simple "belief → evidence stack" exercise to upgrade your story A focus filter: how to identify the few moves that move revenue A re-listen plan (why repetition > chasing the next tactic) Next steps Choose 3–7 "I am" statements. Read them daily. Track real-life proof (your "table legs") that each is true. Pick three needle-movers and complete them before 10 a.m. for one week. Revisit your top 1–2 transformative books/podcasts—on repeat for 30 days. If you've got a question you want me to answer on the show, watch my IG Stories, I'm bringing back the Q&A series soon.
