In this episode of the Goal crazy podcast, Jason tackles the question many aspiring entrepreneurs ask: "what business should I start?". Jason discusses two different strategies: the "easy money approach" and the "dream driven approach". He explains that the first question to ask isn't what business to start, but what your "dream lifestyle" is that you want to create. Your business is the means, not the end; the lifestyle you want is the end.After you discover your business idea, you need to validate it's a winner before you spend a bunch of money launching it. The episode explains how to do this by "seeking expert counsel" and finding someone who's already started a similar, successful business and asking them how they did it. Jason also talks about how to launch your business, with a focus on marketing. You'll learn that you need to tell people about your business so they can become customers and how "influencer marketing" can help you tap into an existing audience for free.Find Jason on:Website: goalcrazy.comJoin our book Review Team: https://goalcrazy.com/reviewteam

Rose and Doug Phillips asked: “how can we spend every day, together, doing what we love?” Their answer was Conscious Clothing. For two decades they built their business on this premise - even building the gorgeous, sun-filled Michigan studio where their team of ten designs and makes each piece of organic and natural fiber clothing.  Things haven't always been dreamy, though. As the brand grew, work started to creep into the weekends. The pandemic hit. Then Doug lost his life and business partner. But, the heartfelt vision for Conscious Clothing remained. In this interview, Doug and General Manager Liz DeBraber share how they're intentionally restructuring the business for the sake of themselves, their team, and their customers. Doug Phillips is the owner of Conscious Clothing, an organic and natural fiber clothing company based in the Grand Rapids Michigan area. While navigating the challenges of designing and manufacturing in the US for over 23 years against a flood of cheap clothing imports, a mission was born. Exemplifying how a better way is possible by supporting local and organic is better for people and the planet. Doug hopes everyone realizes their power to create change with the purchase power they have and the brands they choose to support. This episode explores: Fitting the customer How Liz is completely revamping Conscious Clothing's pattern library to better fit their customers The process behind extending their sizing from XS-XL to XS-6X.  How their small team things about customer service Fitting the lifestyle How founders Doug and Rose built the business from the ground up to realize the life they wanted together What they changed to keep the growing business from taking over their life How a years-long season of grief forced Doug to make big changes in the business Why sustainability is just as much about the lifestyle of the team than it is about the products they are making How they are balancing R&D with production Fitting the values Why organic and natural fibers and made-in-USA production are important to Conscious Clothing How the industry and consumer values about organic clothing has changed over the 20+ years they've been in business Why Doug is happy that Conscious Clothing is not as unique as it once was People and resources mentioned in this episode: Conscious Clothing website Conscious Clothing Instagram Fox fiber® - breeder and grower of organic, naturally colored cotton Do you want fashion business tips and resources like this sent straight to your inbox?

Send us a textHave you ever felt like your business has become a prison of your own making? You're not alone. In this eye-opening conversation with Leslie Hassler, founder of Your Biz Rules, we dive deep into the stark difference between building a business that drains your soul versus one that fills it with purpose and joy.Leslie shares her journey as an "accidental entrepreneur" who transformed from dreading Monday mornings to being energized by them. Her powerful insight that "there's no profit fairy" challenges the common misconception that profits magically appear once you've worked hard enough or grown big enough. Instead, she reveals the critical dance between growth and scalability that most business owners misunderstand.The most enlightening part of our discussion explores how growth actually devours cash while making essential foundational investments that don't immediately show returns. Like renovating an older home, you're putting money into improvements behind the walls that pay dividends over time. Meanwhile, scalability is where you truly "rake it in" – giving one and getting ten back. Understanding this partnership completely transforms how you approach building your business.We also tackle the identity crisis that comes with evolving as a business owner. The transition from doing the work yourself to leading others through it challenges your self-worth and requires letting go of the adrenaline rush that comes from checking items off your list. As Leslie notes, this transformation happens repeatedly throughout your entrepreneurial journey – with your first employee, when you're no longer servicing clients directly, and eventually if you sell or transition your business.Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial journey or looking to escape the prison of a business that's consuming rather than serving you, this conversation provides the perspective shift you need to build a business aligned with your vision and values. Take that first baby step today, and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish over time.

Drawing from his 30+ year journey with Ramsey Solutions, Dave shares stories of failure, clarity, succession, and the slow handoff of legacy—along with what most founders get wrong about growth. If you've ever felt behind, discouraged, or unsure how to lead your business into the future, this episode will show you the next light on the path.Memorable Quotes“The dirty little secret is: Everyone's money is messed up.”“As long as I can clearly see the next step, it gives me tremendous energy and focus and hope.”“We've learned with all the bruises to look for the next thing but not to sell out to it.”“You gotta change the word. The word is: I experimented. I didn't fail.”“You give other people the credit when things are right and take the hit when things are wrong. Because it is your job as the leader.”“People are our greatest blessing and they also give us the most trouble.”“I have to constantly stop and say: Let them do it. You did hand it off. Don't take it back. They're doing okay.”Key TakeawaysBusiness Is Hard. If you're a small business owner struggling to make it all work, you're in really good company.

Ryan and Brook explain how to align this with your mission, energy, and season of life.[14:06] How Much Revenue Feels Right (for You)? Brook introduces a values-based money framework—Survival, Stability, Success, Significance—and shares how redefining your financial targets around lifestyle and season can bring clarity and peace.[21:53] Finding the Right Price Point Reverse-engineering your pricing based on hours, income goals, and delivery style leads to aligned offers. Ryan and Brook also discuss why ROI-based offers often support higher price points—and why emotional integrity still matters most.[32:37] Do You Want a Team or Just More Time? Not everyone wants to manage people—and that's okay. Ryan and Brook unpack what it really takes to lead a team, why some people change their minds, and how to know if building a company is right for you.[49:18] You Have Permission to Rebuild If your current business doesn't align with what you truly want, don't be afraid to break it. Ryan shares why smart reinvention beats staying stuck—and how to begin that process with intention.

Episode Highlights[00:01] Breaking Free from the Coaching Industry Echo Chamber Ryan and Brook call out the toxic “7-figure-or-bust” culture and explain why success must be defined on your own terms—not someone else's marketing funnel.[07:45] Are You a Leader or Just Following the Noise? Brook unpacks how marketers are creating weak leaders by spoon-feeding tactics instead of teaching critical thinking and decision-making.[13:07] Permission to Build the Business You Actually Want Ryan lays the foundation for the episode's mission: giving coaches full permission to design their business their way, without guilt or pressure.[18:17] How Big Is Your Dream (Really)? Brook walks through Tony Robbins' “Dream Bucket” exercise to help listeners calculate the actual cost of their dream life. Hint: it's usually less than you think.[24:00] The Goldilocks Goal: Not Too Big, Not Too Small Ryan explains how to set goals that stretch you—but don't break your belief in what's possible.[25:49] Flip the Money Question: How Many People Do You Want to Help? Brook reframes revenue goals by anchoring them to contribution and impact—then working backward from there.[27:32] Step 1: Decide How Many People You Really Want to Work With The first step to building your dream business? Forget the “how” and get clear on who you want to serve—and how many of them you truly want to support.[34:26] Your Goals Can Change—And That's Okay Brook and Ryan remind listeners that your dream business will evolve over time, and you have full permission to change your mind.[35:19] Don't Worry About the How (Yet) Before you obsess over strategy, get anchored in the vision.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes with Cassandra Thurswell, the founder of KITSCH, a global brand that creates eco-friendly hair care and beauty accessories for women. Cassandra came from a small town in Wisconsin to Los Angeles with the hopes of creating something meaningful in her life. But before launching her own business, she did whatever it took to make ends meet from working at a cupcake shop to crafting jewelry and babysitting. After seven failed attempts at various businesses, the idea for Kitsch was born. She started by hand-making her first product which was a basic but innovative knotted hair-tie in her tiny LA apartment. She was making cold calls, doing door to door sales, and whatever she could to get the brand out there all without any outside funding. Fast forward to today, the company has evolved into a multi-million dollar brand that's sold in over 27 countries and across 20,000 retail locations worldwide. You can find them at Ulta, Sephora, Whole Foods, Urban Outfitters, to name a few.In this week's episode, Cassandra walks us through how following her gut over the years has truly been the key to her success – from couch-surfing to saving money for her business to working different jobs to learn the industry. She also talks about how every single job she's had in the past has helped her become a stronger business person and was the "mini MBA" she needed. She then dives into the challenges of the early days of fulfilling orders in her one-bedroom apartment and the creative tactics she used to get into retailers without any connections. We also talk about the biggest learnings she's had over 14 years of running Kitsch, the power of micro-intentions and micro-habits when creating your dream life, & so much more. In this episode, we'll talk to Cassandra about:* Her thoughts on manifestation and its role in creating success. [05:42]* The power of visualization. [13:43]* Moving to Los Angeles, being broke, living on people's couches & hustling in life. [17:49] * Kitsch creation journey and inspiration. [30:05]* Having various jobs to make ends meet and how she self-funded Kitsch. [33:54]* Retailer entry without connections. [37:44]* Getting her first large purchase order.
