Today on the podcast, we're tackling a question straight from our WhatsApp podcasting community that I know many of you can relate to. Someone's struggling with an all-too-common Instagram dilemma: which account to focus on when building their professional brand as an actor, writer, host, and podcaster.Here's the gist of their situation:They have two Instagram accounts. One has 301 followers, more engagement, and all their major milestones like podcast launches, awards, and film academy graduation. The catch? It's a bit of a hot mess, unorganized, and growing slowly.The other account has 384 followers, is super clean and structured, but lacks past content and currently has low engagement, even though it's growing rapidly.They're torn: Do they try to fix the messy, engaged account? Or start fresh with the clean, but less engaging one? And can they even migrate posts between them? They want to know what decision will best support their long-term growth.My Take: It's All About the Right AudienceFrom a sales and business development perspective, here's my honest advice:First things first, what decision will best support long-term growth?Whatever you do, you must be focused on the relevant audience. If the point of your Instagram handles is to monetize engagement, then you have to nurture the account with the relevant audience. You can't sell something to an irrelevant audience, no matter how large it is.Think of it this way: If I have a 5-million-strong community of people who love French cuisine, I can't suddenly start selling them Efik dishes. They'd likely be put off! The relevance of the audience, not just their size, is the main thing.Is there a match between what you're selling and what your audience is interested in?Why the "Clean" Account Might Be a TrapNow, let's look at the idea of building up the 384-follower account. If it has a higher follower count and seems to be growing rapidly but lacks engagement, it means people are piling on, but they're not really interested in your content. This will seriously affect the algorithm and deliverability in the future. That large audience won't even see your content because they're not engaging, and Instagram will show it less and less. Switching to this account might actually be a bad idea in the long run.Why Your "Messy" Account Is Your Best BetAnd finally, should you restructure the existing 301-follower account (the one with more engagement and past milestones)?YES! The engagement is the main thing to pay attention to. It might be growing slowly, but it has high engagement – that means you're on the right track! Plus, it already has the content related to the services you're selling, like voice acting and podcasting.Having a well-engaged and nurtured audience will make it much easier to monetize in the future.Key Takeaways for Creatives (and Everyone Else)Here are some interesting things to consider that apply to all creatives and businesses: * You're in business. We should not be focused on building a huge fanbase, but rather a huge bank account. * To get to a huge bank account, we need a highly engaged and nurtured audience. Those are the metrics to truly track on Instagram. * Remember, this is a business, not a popularity contest. * Always remember we're making BUSINESS decisions here, not just aesthetic ones, when it comes to our social media.

Du denkst, ein Fotoshooting ist einfach nur Contentproduktion? Think again. In dieser Episode spreche ich darüber, warum Fotoshootings keine simplen Marketing-Maßnahmen sind – sondern Portale. Energetische Übergänge. Tiefe Ausdrucksprozesse. Und manchmal: echte Heilung. Ich nehme dich mit hinter die Kulissen meiner eigenen Shootings – von meinem allerersten Surfergirl-Selfie-Setup bis hin zum sinnlichsten Shooting meines Lebens in Unterwäsche, das nichts weniger war als ein Akt der Selbstbegegnung. Wir sprechen über Mut, Verkörperung, Identität und darüber, warum deine nächste Fotosession vielleicht weniger mit deiner Website zu tun hat als mit deiner Weiterentwicklung als Frau. Wenn du ein Personal Brand bist (oder eine werden willst), dein nächstes Fotoshooting planst und spürst: „Da steckt mehr drin als schöne Bilder“, dann ist diese Folge für dich. Du erfährst in dieser Episode: Warum dein Look & Styling nur die Oberfläche sind – und was wirklich mitschwingt Wie sich innere Transformationen in deinem Außen, in deiner Ästhetik und Ausstrahlung zeigen Weshalb deine Shootings Teil deiner Identitätsarbeit sind (und du sie genau so behandeln darfst) Welche persönlichen Erfahrungen ich mit dir teile, von Sinnlichkeit über Spiritualität bis Rebranding Wie du dein nächstes Shooting nicht aus dem Kopf, sondern aus deiner Tiefe planst Diese Folge ist für dich, wenn du… … eine Personal Brand bist, die sichtbar sein will – ohne Maske … deinen Signature Look nicht nur stylen, sondern verkörpern willst … dir mehr Tiefe, Mut und Intuition für deine Außenwirkung wünschst … spürst: Dein Shooting ist kein reines Business-Tool, sondern ein Ausdruck deiner Selbst Erwähnte Links & Ressourcen: Instagram: sabine.spallek Webseite: beuntamed UNTAMED Business Mentoring: FREE CALL Podcast: Pille absetzen - Meine Story nach 20 Jahren Hormonen

Women are constantly judged by their appearance especially clothing, yet style is rarely framed as a tool for empowerment. Samantha Harman joins me on the podcast to unpack the societal pressures surrounding what women wear, the mental load of outfit choices, and the double standards when it comes to using style as a business tool.We explore how personal style is the over looked business tool you didn't know you needed. It's about stepping into your power, owning your worth, and using your wardrobe as a strategic asset to build your authority in business. If you're opening your wardrobe and feeling despair not delight, this episode is a full on mic drop moment for your brain.

She also dealt with body image hang-ups, once cried in a dressing room as shop assistants laughed and was turned down for jobs at 3 fashion companies because she was plus size. Samantha is on a mission to rid the world of the toxic normalisation of women being sold products based on the weaponisation of their bodies against them.

You know me—I'm all about breaking things down and finding the best ways to get stuff done. But this time? We're going way beyond theory. In this episode, my good friend and collaborator, Kevin Ashcroft, jumped in and showed me how to actually build TWO apps—live. Step by step, no fluff, just straight-up action. Watching it happen blew my mind, and trust me, you're gonna want to see this for yourself. It's a total game-changer for anyone who's ever thought about creating their tools.You might know Kevin from previous episodes, but if this is your first time listening to Beyond 8 Figures, let me catch you up. Kevin, CEO of WP Support Specialists and author of Outsourcing for Success, is the kind of entrepreneur who takes ideas and runs with them fast. Using tools like Claude AI and Replit, he's built custom apps, like a meal and exercise tracker tailored to his specific health needs, in just 45 minutes. Yep, you read that right—45 minutes. And in this episode, he's showing us exactly how it's done.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Kevin built a functional personal app to manage his health using AI tools in under an hour.The benefits and challenges of creating tailored solutions versus using off-the-shelf apps.Insights into Kevin's process for launching the "Content Refresh Manager" WordPress plugin.Why personal software is the next frontier for entrepreneurs.How AI can democratize app development, empowering non-technical founders.Key Takeaways:AI is Your Brainstorming Buddy: Watching Kevin work with AI tools felt like seeing someone brainstorm with the ultimate creative partner. Sure, there were a few frustrating moments, but the payoff? Totally worth it.Keep It Simple: Kevin's approach to app-building is a great reminder that you don't need flashy features to make a big impact. Sometimes, the cleanest, simplest solutions are the ones that truly deliver.Make It Work for You: One thing that stood out was how customizable Kevin's tools were. It's a great example of how entrepreneurs can align their productivity tools with their specific goals instead of settling for one-size-fits-all solutions.From Idea to Marketplace: Kevin didn't just stop at personal apps—he showed us how to take that same energy and use it to create a WordPress plugin that's already live and making waves.Building exactly what you need is more accessible and game-changing than ever. Watching Kevin create tailored apps in real time was a powerful reminder that innovation doesn't have to be expensive, flashy, or overly complex—it's about solving real problems with simple, practical tools that work for you.Why This Matters Running a business is hard enough without wasting time on tools that don't fit or waiting for someone else to solve your problems. I've been in those moments where nothing quite fits—whether it's a process that feels clunky or a tool that almost does the job but leaves you frustrated. What I love about what we dive into here is the idea that you don't have to wait around or settle anymore. You can actually build something that fits your needs, and it's not as complicated as it sounds.For me, it was a reminder that we don't have to play by the old rules. We can create what we need, when we need it. If you're trying to get over a bottleneck or just make your business run smoother, trust me, this episode is worth your time. It's one of those conversations that sticks with you and makes you rethink what's possible.Let's Work Together If you're ready to stop relying on cookie-cutter solutions and start building tools that work for your business, let's talk. Whether refining your strategy, streamlining your operations, or scaling smarter, I can help you create a roadmap that fits your goals—and makes the most of your time and resources.

Let's face it: entrepreneurs are great at making money but often terrible at managing it. I'm talking endless spreadsheets, vague budgets, and a lot of stress that kept me up at night. If you've been there ( I know I have), you need to hear this week's episode with Tyson Koska, founder of OnTrajectory.He's solved a problem many of us face but rarely talk about: how to create a clear, actionable plan for financial success.After years as an engineer and analyst, Tyson realized there wasn't a tool that could help him plan his financial future without the noise of industry agendas. So, he built one. OnTrajectory started as a passion project and has grown into a powerful platform that helps entrepreneurs and individuals create 50-year financial models, make smarter decisions, and find clarity in their financial lives.As someone who's built and sold companies, I know the juggling act of balancing business growth with personal finances, and Tyson's insights on bridging that gap are game-changing.What's In It For You1. Facing Financial Truths as an EntrepreneurI'll be the first to admit that for years, my financial strategy was to grow my businesses as quickly as possible and then “figure it out later.” Tyson shares how dangerous this mindset can be and why having a clear financial plan is not just about the money—it's about giving yourself the freedom to make the best choices for your life and your business.For any of us who've had sleepless nights over cash flow or the uncertainty of “what's next,” Tyson's approach is a game-changer. He's all about simplifying the process, which was music to my ears—I've always believed that complexity is the enemy of clarity, whether in business or in life.2. Learning to Market Beyond the ProductTyson's journey wasn't just about building a great tool. He had to learn how to market OnTrajectory effectively—and that shift from being a builder to being a marketer is something I know many of us struggle with. Tyson talks about stepping out of his comfort zone to reach new customers, including joining podcasts like mine to spread the word. His transparency around facing these challenges is a powerful reminder that, as entrepreneurs, we have to evolve continually. It's not enough to have a great product; we need to get it in front of the right people.3. Simplify to ScaleOne of the biggest takeaways for me from this episode is Tyson's philosophy on simplifying to scale. In my own experience, it's easy to fall into the trap of adding more features, more services, and more complexity—thinking that more is better. Tyson did the opposite: he recognized that growth often comes from stripping back to what really works and making it even better. I've seen this firsthand—whether in building a business or managing a team, the clearer and more focused you can make things, the easier it is to grow.Here's what stood out most to me in this chat:Clarity Drives Confidence: The more you understand where your money is going, the easier it is to make big decisions—whether that's investing in a new venture or taking a well-deserved break.Community Engagement Fuels Growth: Tyson emphasized how listening to his users helped shape OnTrajectory into what it is today. I've seen this time and again—your community will guide you if you let them.Focus on What Matters: Growth doesn't mean doing everything; it means doing the right things better. Tyson's shift to simplifying OnTrajectory is a reminder to all of us that sometimes, less is truly more.Build a Business That Works for YouWhat if you could work fewer hours, grow your revenue, and feel completely confident about your financial future? That's not just a dream—it's a plan we can create together. Drawing on my experience scaling businesses and helping entrepreneurs like you eliminate bottlenecks, I'll guide you toward building a business that truly works for you.Here's how I can help you:Streamline Your Operations: Identify bottlenecks and build systems that save time and increase profitability.Achieve Financial Clarity: Learn how to model your personal and business finances for smarter decision-making.Scale Strategically: Shift your focus to high-impact opportunities that drive long-term growth.Let's map out a strategy tailored to your needs so you can focus on what matters most.

How do you turn decades of expertise into a scalable thought leadership business? Ruth King, known as the Profit & Wealth Guru, shares her journey from one-on-one financial coaching to becoming a best-selling author and AI innovator. She began by helping small businesses demystify their financial statements, but quickly realized her reach was limited. Writing books became the answer. Her first book, "The Ugly Truth about Small Business: 50 (Never-Saw-It-Coming) Things That Can Go Wrong...and What You Can Do about It," featured lessons from 50 entrepreneurs, offering readers practical insights into navigating difficult challenges.. It struck a chord, leading to a series of books that continue to impact readers globally. Publishing was just the start. Ruth took her ideas to a wider audience by leveraging TV, radio, newsletters, and now podcasts. Weekly newsletters since the '90s have built her credibility, while speaking engagements and media appearances have kept her message evergreen. Her approach is simple: stories over statistics. Sharing real-life examples from her clients makes complex financial principles relatable and memorable, ensuring her audience stays engaged. As technology advanced, Ruth embraced AI to scale her impact. Recognizing its potential during a Mastermind session, she and her team developed a groundbreaking AI tool to simplify and analyze messy small business balance sheets. Rooted in her decades of expertise, this tool standardizes processes and delivers insights at scale—no Zoom required. It's a game-changer for small businesses seeking clarity and growth. Ruth's next move is clear: scale the AI solution by partnering with professionals who serve small businesses. Accountants, CPAs, and referral partners are already helping bring her vision to life. For Ruth, it's not just about the numbers; it's about empowering entrepreneurs to grow profitably, build wealth, and create lasting success. Three Key Takeaways: • Stories Simplify Complexity: Ruth King's success lies in using real-life client stories to make financial principles accessible and memorable, demonstrating the power of storytelling in thought leadership. • Scaling Expertise Through AI: By embedding her decades of knowledge into an AI tool, Ruth has transformed her expertise into a scalable solution that helps small businesses make sense of their financials without needing her direct involvement. • Long-Term PR is Essential: Thought leadership isn't a one-and-done effort. Ruth's ongoing use of newsletters, speaking engagements, and media appearances ensures her message remains relevant and her audience continues to grow. Ruth understands that to have maximum impact you have to be able to go to scale.  If you want to learn more about "Scaling You" check out this video by Leveraging Thought Leadership CEO Peter Winick.
