Get on the waitlist for the next cohort of the online LTAP® Level 1 courseIn this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I share some thoughts sparked by the Tactical Strength Coach Annual Training around building trust, getting people out of pain, and improving movement. I unpack what actually builds trust with your clients and why getting results is such an important piece of that relationship.

What happens when you already know so much about yourself… but you're still living inside the same patterns?You've done therapy. Read the books. Learned your Human Design. You understand your childhood wounds, your limiting beliefs, your attachment style. You know you need better boundaries, more self-trust, less overthinking, more capacity to receive.And yet somehow, you keep getting pulled back into the same ways of being.In this episode, I'm breaking down the piece I think so much of personal development misses: the difference between knowing about yourself and actually living what you know.We'll talk about why so many of the seemingly separate things you're working on may actually be symptoms of the same underlying pattern—overfunctioning—and why awareness of that pattern is only the beginning.I'm also sharing the methodology I use with my clients to turn insight into actual change: small real-life experiments, gathering new evidence, expanding nervous system capacity, and slowly making a different way of living feel safe enough to become your new normal.Because at some point, you have to stop reading the manual and get in the car (this will make more sense when you listen

Send me a message When I first became a real estate agent 16 years ago, I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I knew nothing about anything! But if I had the chance to start over from scratch today, there are very few things I'd actually do the same. I would build a completely different business from day one, because I've learned what is actually important and what isn't. I wish an episode like this existed when I got started. So today I'm giving you the exact blueprint to crush it as an agent. Everything I took 16 years to learn and figure out, condensed into what actually moves the needle in today's world.In this episode:Why building a brand before you have anything to sell matters more than being the best agent in the roomWhy niching down to one neighborhood or one specific client avatar changes everythingWhy studying market stats obsessively is really about your own confidence, not impressing clientsHow door knocking and role-playing objections with AI voice mode build the confidence you can't fakeWhy getting out of the house and into real relationships still beats any online strategyWhy aligning with people a few steps ahead of you is the fastest shortcut in this businessThe mindset shift from "selling homes" to "building a business" that changes everything elseThis industry is incredible. I love being an agent. I just wish I knew all of this when I started.***********************RESOURCES :Free "Clients From Social" Masterclass - Learn the new formula top agents are using on social media to attract 5+ new closings, month after month.

In this episode of Insurance Town, we've got a Mayor Solo episode. No guest this week, just me and my fellow citizens of Insurance Town.Today, we're tackling a topic that I think has become way more complicated than it needs to be: personal branding.I'm going to challenge some of the biggest buzzwords in business and marketing today. What if "personal branding" is really just your reputation? What if authenticity is simply being true to yourself? What if networking is nothing more than making genuine friends?As a 90's kid, I don't think these ideas are new. I think we've spent the last twenty years creating new words for principles our parents were teaching us long before social media, LinkedIn, and personal branding became a thing.In this episode, we'll talk about how to intentionally build a reputation people trust, how to protect that reputation, why "fake it till you make it" is a dangerous philosophy, how to discover who you're uniquely called to serve, and why the strongest personal brands aren't manufacturedthey're built one promise, one relationship, and one act of integrity at a time.If you've ever wondered how to become known, trusted, and remembered without pretending to be someone you're not, I think you're going to enjoy this conversation.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your brand starts long before you ever have a "name brand"The difference between reputation and personal branding—and why it mattersWhy "fake it till you make it" may be holding you backHow being true to yourself is actually the easiest long-term branding strategyHow to identify the people you truly want to serveWhy trying to serve everyone weakens your reputationHow to define what you want to be known forWhy protecting your reputation sometimes means saying "no" to the wrong clientsHow one bad-fit customer can impact your culture, your team, and your future businessWhy networking is really about building genuine friendships, not collecting business cardsA simple way to talk about what you do without sounding like everyone elseHow to build a reputation that creates trust, referrals, opportunities, and long-term influenceSponsor Shout out:1FortAI is changing the insurance industry, but the biggest opportunity isn't just automation, it's having proactive digital teammates that help your agency work smarter every day.

In this episode of Your Practice Mastered, Richard James and MPS sit down with Entrepreneurial Attorney of the Year finalist Nicole Lavallee and her husband Warren to discuss how their family and real estate law firm rebuilt its intake and sales process after dealing with turnover, missed opportunities, and inconsistent performance.This is a behind-the-scenes conversation about what happens when a law firm owner stops guessing and starts looking at the numbers. Nicole and Warren share how they discovered missed opportunities inside their intake process, why their turnover problem was really a systems problem, and how adding stronger sales leadership helped their firm move from frustration to measurable growth.They also discuss the role of a sales manager, the importance of better onboarding, the challenge of hiring and training intake staff, and why non-attorney salespeople can help attorneys get out of the consult room and back into legal work.In this episode, you will hear:How small law firm owners can find missed revenue inside their intake processWhy your law firm intake team may need a sales manager, not just more staffWhy missed calls and weak follow-up can quietly cost a law firm thousands in lost revenueHow better onboarding helps intake specialists perform with more consistencyWhy non-attorney salespeople can improve law firm consultations and signed casesHow law firm owners can use data to improve set rates and retained casesWhy attorneys should not always be the person responsible for closing new clientsHow to build a stronger client journey from first call to retained caseWhat growing law firms need to understand before hiring intake staff or salespeople◼️Access done-for-you services to recruit, place, onboard, and train team members for your law firm: https://yourpracticemastered.com/nonattorneysales/

You finally launched the business. You did the certification. You set up the website. You told your closest people.And then nothing happened.The texts went unanswered. The group emails got crickets. The friends you cheered on through their own businesses didn't even acknowledge yours.If that's where you are right now, this episode is for you.In this conversation, Michelle is naming a pattern she's seeing across her client roster: the warm market silence that almost every new coach faces in their first 90 days. The texts that don't get returned. The colleagues who don't respond. The friends who quietly disappear when you start talking about your business.Most coaches take this personally. Michelle is here to tell you it's not.You'll hear the real psychology behind why your warm market goes quiet (it's not rejection, it's something else entirely), why your business will not be built by the people who knew you before you became a coach, and a specific strategy Michelle is teaching her clients right now to bypass the warm market trap and find their first paying clients.She also walks through three actions you can take this week to stop drowning and start moving forward, even if you've been quietly stuck for months.If you're a newly certified coach who's been launching to crickets, this episode is going to feel like a hug.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy your warm market is going silent (and the three reasons it's not personal)The psychology behind why people don't respond to your launch announcementsWhy coaching is hard for some of your closest people to support, even if they love youThe "research call" strategy that's getting Michelle's clients their first paying clientsHow to invite strangers into a 30-minute conversation that often turns into a coaching relationshipWhat to do when you've been hiding the fact that you've worked with a coach yourselfThree specific actions you can take this week to break the silenceFree Live Workshop: Saturday at 9 AM PTIf this episode landed for you and you want to learn a step by step roadmap in building your coaching biz with paying clients.

Are you quietly keeping score in your relationships?“They never call me back.” “I'm always the one reaching out.” “I sent them business… where's mine?”It's hard not to notice those moments. But when we hold onto them, they start to build. And over time, they can quietly tarnish really good relationships.In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Garrett and Matt unpack why this mindset — even when subtle — can slowly erode your friendships, partnerships, and referral-based business.What started as a conversation between Matt and his six-year-old daughter about playground dynamics turned into a powerful reminder about how we show up as adults.Inside this episode, we explore:The difference between conditional and unconditional relationshipsThe danger of “always” and “never” thinkingWhy agents often misread silence from clientsHow resentment quietly creeps into referral networksThe shift from trying to get… to choosing to giveIf you've ever felt frustrated that someone wasn't matching your effort…This conversation will hit home.Because the agents who build rock-solid databases and referral businesses aren't watching the scoreboard.They're giving. They're present. They're playing the long game.And when you make that shift?It changes everything.
Transitioning clients to junior advisors is one of the hardest moves a growing practice can make — and most advisors get it wrong.
What if the reason your coaching business is not growing, and your therapist income still feels unpredictable, has nothing to do with your expertise?In this episode, I share the business framework I use to help people create real momentum, and why so many therapists feel like they are doing everything right but still not seeing results with their therapist marketing.We look at what might be missing behind the scenes, where opportunities are quietly being lost across the client journey, and what needs to shift if you want more consistency without doing more.In this episode, you'll learn:How to audit your current marketing, strengthen your content, and see what is actually workingWhy your email list matters so much, and how it helps with building trust with clientsHow to turn the opportunities already sitting in your DMs into real client momentum through better sales conversations and a stronger follow up proctessHow free content can either build trust or keep people stuck, and how to turn it into consistent coaching leadsIf you have been craving a simpler way to market your work, create consistency, and build a strategy that actually leads to revenue, this episode will show you where to focus next.To being heard and seen, CarlyResources from this episode:Therapreneur: A Therapist's Guide to 3x Your Therapy IncomeThe Coach IntensiveListener Giveaway!If you've been loving the podcast, this is the best way to support it and get something amazing back.

I'm going to say something that might sting a little…If your junior stylist isn't building fast enough, it's probably not their fault.It's a systems problem.In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why your new talent isn't getting booked the way you expected, and what to do about it.

If getting clients still feels unpredictable, the problem is rarely your talent or effort. It is usually the absence of an evergreen lead generation system. For years, I watched designers move between busy seasons and slow months because their marketing only worked when they were actively pushing it forward. Evergreen lead generation changes that completely. Instead of constantly searching for the next project, your design business begins attracting aligned clients consistently in the background. In this episode, I break down how design business owners can stop relying on short term visibility and start building long term attraction through positioning, content, websites, and paid systems that work even when you are offline.You will learn:The difference between active marketing and evergreen lead generationWhy most designer websites fail to convert qualified clientsHow content can attract clients months after it is publishedHow paid ads become predictable lead flow when structured correctlyGrab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to build a design business that attracts clients without constant chasing.Aventive Academy's Resources:Fully Booked Designer (6-week biz program) : https://aventiveacademy.com/fullybookeddesigner/From Crickets to Clients: https://aventiveacademy.com/crickets-to-clients/Client Portal for Designers: https://aventiveacademy.com/client-portal/ The Wealthy Client Blueprint: https://aventiveacademy.com/wealthy-client/Brand Guidelines Template: https://aventiveacademy.com/brand-guidelines/ The Creative CEO Accelerator: https://aventiveacademy.com/accelerator
Send us Fan MailMost interior designers and small business owners believe cybersecurity is something they will deal with later or that their business is simply too small to be of interest to hackers.That assumption is no longer true.In this episode of The Business of Beautiful Spaces, Laura sits down with Jason deCourcy, founder of Xoomler, to uncover the real reason small businesses, solo entrepreneurs, and one-person design firms are now the primary target for cybercriminals.Hackers have changed their strategy. Instead of going after large corporations with robust security teams, they're intentionally targeting small businesses that lack dedicated IT resources and ongoing security monitoring. Even more alarming, many attacks are not immediate. Hackers often gain access quietly, stay hidden, learn how your business operates, identify your clients, and wait for the right moment to exploit vulnerabilities.Jason breaks down what's really happening behind the scenes and explains why interior designers are especially vulnerable due to the sensitive client information, financial data, and communication systems they manage every day.This conversation is not about fear. It's about awareness, prevention, and protecting the business you've worked so hard to build.In this episode, you'll learn:Why small businesses and solo entrepreneurs are the perfect target for cybercrimeHow hackers infiltrate businesses quietly and stay hiddenWhat types of data cybercriminals are really after and why your clients' information mattersWhy basic antivirus software is no longer enoughThe real cost of downtime for a small businessPractical steps you can take to protect your business and your clientsHow proactive cybersecurity can prevent a much larger and more costly issueIf you've ever thought, “There's nothing in my business a hacker would want,” this episode may completely change how you think about protecting your company.Connect with JasonIf you'd like to learn more or book a consultation with Jason, you can reach him directly at:jason@xoomler.comIn just one focused hour, we'll dive into whatever you need most—pricing strategies, client management, attracting high-end clients or building repeat business.

Dave Veres started at Aerotech in September 1994. He was 22, fresh off four years as an all-conference shortstop at Michigan State, and he didn't know how to spell the company name. He got on a plane to Baltimore for training and called his parents after three days. They asked what the job was. He told them he didn't know — but it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen. What followed was 27 and a half years at one company. From entry-level recruiter to running national sales and enterprise accounts across automotive, defense, and government — while that company scaled into the largest privately held staffing firm in the country. This episode is the blueprint for how he did it. The through-line is what Dave calls diagnosis-based selling. Not transactional. Not even question-based. Diagnosis. The difference: question-based selling asks what a client needs today. Diagnosis-based selling understands where a client sits in their product life cycle, predicts what they'll need three months from now, and positions talent before the req ever exists. That shift — from reactive to predictive — is what made Dave the call people made when the stakes were too high. He breaks down how he cracked Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai when Aerotech already owned GM, Ford, and Chrysler — by becoming the expert in markets his own company didn't yet understand. He talks about stumbling into defense staffing almost by accident: a colleague drives past a shipyard, asks one right question, and six months later they're running $500,000 a week in spread with 1,800 contractors in Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He was grumbling about 4am traffic until he started seeing soldiers at the airport. That moment rewired something. After that, it wasn't headhunting anymore. He talks about the long game on relationships — the HR generalist you place today is the VP of People who calls you in seven years, and most recruiters blow that window without realizing it. He talks about navigating enterprise accounts where no single person signs the deal. And he talks about what it actually takes to build a culture where people stay and grow. Thirty years in. Still loves it. This is why. What you'll learn: The difference between question-based and diagnosis-based selling — and how to shiftHow to use product life cycle mapping to break into new industriesWhy candidates you place today are your best future clientsHow to find the real decision maker in an enterprise accountThe first three moves to make to change your sales approach in 30 daysHow AI should be used to keep recruiting human — not replace it Sponsor:
Chip Summers worked 2,900 hours a year for over 25 years. Every Saturday. Some Sundays. Always behind. Then he made a series of decisions that transformed his firm.He raised prices across the board. He moved on from high-maintenance, low-return clients. He gave up control and let his staff handle work from start to finish. He invested in technology that made everyone more efficient. And in December 2025, for the first time in over 25 years, he was caught up. He had almost nothing to do. It felt weird, but wonderful.Today, Chip's eight-person firm in Orangeburg, South Carolina doesn't work Saturdays anymore. They close every Friday after tax season. During tax season, they're only open half days on Fridays. His staff isn't burnt out. His clients bring organized documents instead of shoe boxes. And he's serving as Vice Chair of the South Carolina Board of Accountancy while running a healthier practice than he ever thought possible.This is the fourth episode in our Power of Focus series, where we explore how CPA firm owners use focus as a strategic advantage. Chip's story shows that transformation doesn't happen overnight, but when you touch every aspect of your practice with intentional changes, the results compound.The conversation covers:How working 2,900 hours a year with no end in sight became the motivation for changeWhy pricing was only part of the transformation, giving up control mattered just as muchThe year they set minimums and lost fewer than five clientsHow technology investments made the team more efficient without increasing hoursWhy closing Fridays after tax season boosted staff morale and reduced turnoverThe decision to exit attestation work and focus entirely on tax planning and consultingHow being upfront about pricing changes led to almost zero pushback from clientsChip's biggest lesson? You can't do it all yourself. Most accountants want to touch everything from start to finish. But when you structure your staff to handle work properly, invest in the right technology, and price your services to match the value you deliver, you create capacity you didn't know was possible.
