Start selling digital products and services with MiloTree for FREE! If you're an online coach, course creator, or digital product seller, you've probably experienced this: You're working 35-45 hours a week managing sales, manually sending products, and personally following up with every customer. You're making some money, but you're completely burnt out. Sound familiar? In my newest episode, I shared the exact automation strategy that helped our MiloTree customer Ava transform her business. She went from making $1,800 a month while working 45 hours a week to earning over $11,000 a month working just 9 hours a week. The secret? She automated three key parts of her sales process using MiloTree. And in this post, I'm going to show you exactly what she automated and how you can set up the same system to sell digital products on autopilot.

You've built amazing products—courses, coaching packages, memberships, digital downloads. You're getting some sales, but you're stuck in a manual sales cycle that looks like this: Someone downloads your freebie → You manually add them to your email list → You manually send follow-up emails → You manually process orders → You manually deliver products → Repeat. This manual process has three major problems: Time Drain: You're spending hours every week on tasks that could be automated Revenue Cap: You can only make as much money as the hours you can physically work Burnout Risk: Eventually, managing everything manually becomes unsustainable The good news? You can automate your entire sales process so your business runs without you working harder—you just work smarter. The Solution: Three Types of Sales Automation That Actually Work There are three powerful ways to automate your digital product sales: tripwires, order bumps and upsells, and email sequences. Let me break down each one and show you exactly how they work together to create a sales system that runs on autopilot. 1. Tripwires: Turn Freebie Seekers Into Buyers Instantly A tripwire is a low-cost product (usually $7-$27) that you offer immediately after someone opts in to get your free lead magnet. Here's how it works: Someone sees your content on social media → They click to download your free cheat sheet → They enter their email on your opt-in page → They land on the thank you page → Right there, they see an offer for your complete toolkit for just $17 → They click, they buy → MiloTree delivers the product automatically. You do nothing. It all happens automatically. The beauty of tripwires is that they convert freebie seekers into paying customers right away. Once someone has bought from you once, they're 9 times more likely to buy from you again. 2. Order Bumps and Upsells: Increase Average Order Value Without More Traffic Here's where things get really powerful. Someone's already buying your $47 course. At checkout, you offer a $12 complimentary workbook with one simple checkbox. They tick the box—boom, they've added it to their order. After they complete the purchase, they land on your thank you page. Now you offer them your $97 "done-for-you" premium version. With another click, they've purchased that as well. You just turned a $47 sale into a $156 sale without getting a single additional customer. Order bumps and upsells can increase your revenue by 30-50% without any additional marketing. You're simply maximizing the value of customers you're already getting. 3. Email Sequences: Build Relationships and Sell While You Sleep This is the foundation that makes everything else work. An email sequence is a series of automated emails you set up once that go out to new subscribers automatically. One of our MiloTree customers, Amanda, set up her main email sequence six months ago. That one sequence generates over $1,500 a month for her business, and she hasn't touched those emails since she initially created them. Here's what a good email automation does: Builds Relationships: Your subscribers get to know, like, and trust you through consistent communication Delivers Value: You're providing helpful content that solves their problems Sells Naturally: You're making offers that feel like helpful solutions, not pushy sales pitches Email is one of the best channels for sales. For every $1 you spend on email marketing, you typically make about $36 in return. That's a 3,600% ROI. Why You Can't Do Email Marketing Through Gmail (And What You Need Instead) Here's something crucial to understand: You cannot do email marketing through Gmail, Yahoo, or any regular email account. You need what's called an email service provider (ESP). An email service provider is a platform like MailChimp, MailerLite, Kit, or Flodesk. It's built specifically for business email marketing. Here's what ESPs do that regular email can't: Deliverability: They get your emails into people's inboxes instead of spam folders Analytics: They track who opens your emails, who clicks links, and who buys Segmentation: They let you organize subscribers based on their interests and behavior Automation: They let you set up those money-making email sequences we talked about My favorite email service provider is MailerLite. We use it ourselves for MiloTree's email marketing. I recommend it for three reasons: Free to Start: You get your first 1,000 subscribers completely free User-Friendly: It's the easiest ESP I've used—intuitive drag-and-drop design Seamless Integration: It works perfectly with MiloTree for automated product delivery MiloTree integrates with 24 email service providers, including MailChimp, Kit (formerly ConvertKit), Flodesk, ActiveCampaign, MailerLite, Klaviyo, and many others. We're always adding new integrations based on customer requests. But if you're just starting out and asking me what to try first, I'd go with MailerLite. How MiloTree and Your Email Service Provider Work Together Let me show you the exact flow of how MiloTree and your email service provider work together to automate your sales. This is where the magic happens. Here's the complete automated workflow: Step 1: Someone sees your content on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, or your blog Step 2: You offer a lead magnet (a free download, cheat sheet, template, etc.) Step 3: They click and land on your MiloTree opt-in page where they enter their name and email Step 4: MiloTree captures that email and automatically sends it to your email service provider Step 5: MiloTree instantly delivers the freebie to your new subscriber on the thank you page—they can download it immediately Step 6: At the same time, MiloTree sends a "tag" to your email service provider Step 7: That tag triggers your automated email sequence to start Step 8: Your welcome sequence begins—usually 5-7 emails that go out over the next week Step 9: These emails build the relationship, provide value, and make offers Step 10: When someone clicks to buy, MiloTree processes the payment and delivers the product automatically You do nothing. It all runs on autopilot. The Power of Tags: How to Trigger Different Email Sequences Here's what makes this system so powerful: tags. A tag is simply a label you assign to a subscriber based on what they've downloaded or purchased. Let's say you have three different freebies: A "Social Media Content Calendar" (tagged: social-media-freebie) A "Product Launch Checklist" (tagged: launch-freebie) An "Email Marketing Guide" (tagged: email-freebie) When someone downloads your Social Media Content Calendar, MiloTree automatically tags them with "social-media-freebie" in your email service provider. That tag triggers your social media email sequence. The beauty of this system is that different freebies can trigger different email sequences. Someone interested in social media gets emails about social media. Someone interested in email marketing gets emails about email marketing. You're sending the right message to the right person at the right time—all automatically. How to Set Up Your MiloTree and Email Service Provider Integration in 2 Minutes Setting up this automation sounds complicated, but it literally takes about two minutes. Let me walk you through it step by step. Step 1: Log into your MiloTree dashboard at milotree.com Step 2: Click on "Email Integration" in the menu Step 3: Select your email service provider from the dropdown menu (MailerLite, MailChimp, Kit, etc.) Step 4: Follow the simple connection instructions—every platform is slightly different, but we have step-by-step guides for each one Step 5: Test the connection to make sure it's working That's it. Now every time someone opts into your freebie, their email automatically flows into your email service provider and triggers your automated sequence. If you have any trouble with the setup, just email me at jillian@milotree.com and I'll personally help you get it working. Your Action Plan: Set Up Your Automated Sales System Today Here's exactly what I want you to do right now to start automating your sales: First, if you don't have an email service provider yet, sign up for one. I recommend MailerLite to start because it's free for your first 1,000 subscribers and it's incredibly user-friendly. Second, sign up for MiloTree if you haven't already. Start with our free plan to test everything. You can create a freebie opt-in page for free, sell a product for free, and see how the system works. Then when you're ready to scale, upgrade to one of our paid plans to run your entire digital product business with MiloTree. Third, connect MiloTree to your email service provider using the two-minute process I outlined above. Don't worry if you get stuck—just reach out and we'll help you. Fourth, create your first lead magnet if you don't have one yet. Download my free AI prompts that will help you create an irresistible freebie in about 10 minutes: The 3 AI Prompts You Need to Create a Freebie Cheatsheet Fifth, set up your welcome email sequence.

Send us a textAs we head toward the end of the year, I wanted to do something a little different with this episode.Instead of rushing straight into goal-setting, planning, and “new year, new energy” vibes, I wanted to create space to pause. To reflect. To actually look at what just happened in your business before you try to fix, change, or overhaul anything.Because every year I see the same pattern.We finish the year tired, relieved it's over, and already thinking about what's next. New goals, new plans, new strategies. And while I love that energy, what often gets skipped is reflection.Not reflection to beat yourself up.Not reflection to replay every mistake.But reflection so you don't carry the same patterns into a new year and expect different results.In this episode, I walk you through the questions I think every product-based business owner needs to ask themselves. We talk about effort versus effectiveness, busy versus profitable, and why “fine” is not the same as sustainable.I also share why looking at your numbers matters more than ever, how to review your time and energy honestly, and why enjoyment and creativity still need a seat at the table if you want a business you actually want to grow.This episode is your permission slip to slow down, get curious, and reflect without pressure.If you want support with this process, I've linked my free Business Review & Reset download here, along with a vision board exercise if you like planning visually. You'll also find links to Transform Your Wholesale and Roadmap to Profit, depending on where you're at in your business.And if you're already multi-six figures and thinking about what's next, there's a waitlist link here for a new next-level option I'm building for 2026.I'm taking a short break from the podcast after this episode to reflect, refine, and build what's next with intention.

In this final episode of the series, we explore what it truly means to return to calm presence—not as a perfect state, but as a place you can come back to again and again. You'll learn why calm isn't the absence of disturbance, but the ability to remain grounded within it. Drawing on neuroscience, we look at how gentle repetition, nervous system regulation, and vagal tone help calm become a familiar baseline rather than a fleeting moment. Through a simple story and reflective guidance, this episode invites you to notice the quiet moments of steadiness already woven into your day. This is not about fixing yourself or chasing peace. It's about remembering the way home. Perfect for listening during a pause, a walk, or as a closing ritual to this journey. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES This week on The Daily Meditation Podcast, we're beginning a special 7-day meditation series designed to help you gently release emotional buildup and reconnect with a sense of calm, clarity, and inner balance. So many of us move through our days carrying emotions we never had time to process — lingering stress, emotional fatigue, or subtle tension that quietly accumulates. This series offers a supportive pause, giving your nervous system space to settle and your emotional world room to reset. Each day, you'll be guided through a short meditation with a specific emotional focus, following a gentle daily arc that builds naturally across the week. We'll move from releasing emotional residue, to resting and grounding the nervous system, to creating emotional boundaries, self-soothing, restoring balance, and finally embodying calm presence. You don't need to prepare, analyze, or do anything extra. Simply listening each day is enough. Each meditation stands on its own, while also supporting a deeper sense of emotional ease as the week unfolds. Whether you listen to one episode or join us for the full 7-day journey, this series is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself.

What if emotional balance isn't about staying calm—but about staying connected? In this episode, we explore the science of emotional regulation, the nervous system's role in emotional overwhelm, and why trying to suppress or "fix" emotions often makes them stronger. You'll learn how emotions are designed to move through the body, what actually helps them resolve, and how to restore balance without bypassing what you feel. Through neuroscience, gentle reflection, and a powerful story, Day 6 invites you to stop fighting your emotions and start listening to them—so balance can naturally return. This is not about controlling your feelings. It's about trusting yourself to feel them.

Day 5: Nurture at the Root — Safety, Stability, and the First Chakra What if growth didn't require more effort—but more safety? In this Day 5 episode, we explore how true transformation depends on nurture at the most foundational level: the body. We dive into the first chakra as the energetic and neurological root of belonging, regulation, and sustainable change. You'll learn how the arc of growth bends downward before it rises, why the nervous system must feel safe before transformation can last, and how nurture is not a luxury—but a biological requirement for integration. This episode invites you to slow down, settle in, and discover how grounding practices, embodied care, and root-level safety create the conditions for real, lasting evolution. Because nothing meaningful grows without roots.

Day 4 of the Emotional Reset 7-Day Journey focuses on grounding through inner stability. Building on the foundation of nervous system regulation, this episode explores how stillness, focused attention, and embodied awareness support emotional balance. You'll be guided through a calming meditation using Gyan Mudra, a traditional hand gesture shown to support focus and nervous system regulation through sensory feedback. Grounded in neuroscience and somatic awareness, this practice helps quiet mental noise and cultivate a sense of clarity that can be accessed anywhere. Day 4 reminds us that grounding doesn't always come from the outside — sometimes it's found in the quiet steadiness within.

The playbook to make 2026 your year. ---------In this episode of the Money Gains Podcast I'm breaking down a practical 12-week action plan covering everything from conducting a financial review to automating your money management. We talk about why personal finance is deeply personal and provide actionable steps for increasing income and capturing cashback opportunities that could save you over £1,000 a year.This is the CHATGPT Prompt >> “Here are my last 3 months of bank transactions. Please analyse them and categorise every transaction into 3 categories:Fixed expensesDiscretionary spending Debt paymentsThen: – Calculate my average monthly spending in each category – Identify areas where I may be overspending compared to typical averages (e.g., transport, subscriptions, eating out)- Highlight any merchants or transactions you're not sure about so we can make a decision on these together – Estimate my potential savings rate (based on income vs spending) and explain it as if you are analysing a business' profit vs loss”---------
In Day 3 of the Emotional Reset 7-Day Journey, you'll explore the science of emotional regulation and why resisting feelings often makes them stronger. Backed by neuroscience and nervous-system research, this episode guides you through a calming breathing practice designed to reduce emotional intensity while increasing self-trust. You'll learn how emotions move through the body, why awareness is more powerful than control, and how extended exhale breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Through a grounding meditation and a relatable story, Day 3 invites you to stop fighting your emotions—and start letting them pass. Perfect for anyone feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their inner calm. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES This week on The Daily Meditation Podcast, we're beginning a special 7-day meditation series designed to help you gently release emotional buildup and reconnect with a sense of calm, clarity, and inner balance. So many of us move through our days carrying emotions we never had time to process — lingering stress, emotional fatigue, or subtle tension that quietly accumulates. This series offers a supportive pause, giving your nervous system space to settle and your emotional world room to reset. Each day, you'll be guided through a short meditation with a specific emotional focus, following a gentle daily arc that builds naturally across the week. We'll move from releasing emotional residue, to resting and grounding the nervous system, to creating emotional boundaries, self-soothing, restoring balance, and finally embodying calm presence. You don't need to prepare, analyze, or do anything extra. Simply listening each day is enough. Each meditation stands on its own, while also supporting a deeper sense of emotional ease as the week unfolds. Whether you listen to one episode or join us for the full 7-day journey, this series is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself.

Send us a textI'm switching things up in this episode and getting straight to it.No fancy intro, no long-winded warm-up. Just a real conversation about assumptions, beliefs, and the stories we tell ourselves that quietly shape how we show up in our business.Because lately, I've been hearing the same things again and again from product-based business owners. People aren't buying anymore. Everyone only wants discounts. Nobody opens emails. January is dead. I don't want to annoy my audience.And honestly? Most of these are not facts. They're beliefs. And beliefs are just thoughts you've repeated long enough that they feel true.In this episode, I unpack some of the most common assumptions I see brands and retailers making about selling, marketing, email, Christmas, sales seasons, pricing, and customer behaviour. I also talk about where these beliefs come from, how negativity bias sneaks in, and why assuming the worst is one of the fastest ways to stall your growth.We talk about why selling is not pushy or icky, how marketing is actually service, and why your job is not to guess what's going on in someone else's wallet.If you've been holding back, second-guessing yourself, or quietly wondering if it's even worth promoting right now, this episode is for you.Listen in, then ask yourself one simple question.Is this actually true, or is it just a belief I've been carrying around?Support the showI'm Mel Robbins! from @thelotcoGrab my free training: Your 90-Day Plan to a Profitable Product Business Without Relying On Social Media From not enough sales to effortless abundance and creating consistent sales in your business with this roadmap.

Why your subject line needs to slap, not snoozeBoring subject lines get ignored. You need curiosity, clarity, or straight-up benefits. I share what makes a subject line irresistible and why A/B testing should be your new best friend.2. The must-have CTA above the foldIf your audience has to scroll to find the link, you've already lost them. I break down what “above the fold” actually looks like and why clarity always wins.3. High-contrast design that people can actually readPastel on pastel? Tiny fonts? Hard pass. I share my go-to readability tool and the simple graphic design rule that will instantly improve your emails.4. Clear, non-waffly copy that respects your customer's timePromo emails should be quick, direct and obvious.

Tired of planning big and finishing small? We open the playbook on the exact 90-day system we use to turn clarity into revenue: define one core goal, build a simple sprint that delivers a real transformation, and create the content and metrics that move people from awareness to action. Instead of chasing visibility for its own sake, we show how to design a quarterly plan that teaches, converts, and scales without the stress of an overstuffed annual roadmap.You'll hear why hands-on teaching outperformed daily posting, and how a focused four-day sales sprint helped our audience replace fear with confidence. We break down the sprint from idea to execution: curriculum design, scheduling, naming, sales page, onboarding emails, and the launch runway that warms demand before you ever ask for the sale. Then we connect it to a clean offer ladder—sprint into membership for practice, membership into mastermind for depth—so each step builds momentum and matches where buyers truly are in their customer journey.Throughout, we emphasize practical metrics and simple storytelling. Track list growth, clicks, page views, and registrations so you know what to keep, cut, or tweak. Use awareness content to name the problem, momentum content to deliver quick wins, and conversion messages to earn the yes with clarity and timing. If you want less noise and more movement, this is a grounded path you can run every quarter.Ready to build your next 90-day plan? Grab the 90 Day Plan programSupport the show

In this episode of Thyroid Answers, Dr. Eric Balcavage sits down with pharmacist and bestselling author Dr. Izabella Wentz to revisit one of the most misunderstood conditions in modern medicine — Hashimoto's thyroiditis. They explore how new research and clinical experience are reshaping what we know about autoimmune thyroid disease, why so many women still struggle with fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog despite "normal" thyroid labs, and what it really takes to recover thyroid function from the inside out. Dr. Wentz and Dr. Balcavage break down the differences between managing Hashimoto's with medication and restoring thyroid health through the Adaptive Thyroid Model™, focusing on root causes suc as gut health, inflammation, hormone balance, and stress physiology. Key Topics: What most doctors miss about Hashimoto's and autoimmune thyroiditis The connection between stress, sleep, gut health, and thyroid autoimmunity Why "normal labs" can hide ongoing thyroid dysfunction How estrogen, cortisol, and inflammation alter thyroid hormone conversion The role of diet, supplements, and lifestyle in reversing Hashimoto's patterns How to know if your low T3 is adaptive — not failure And more ... Dr. Izabella Wentz is a compassionate, innovative, solution-focused integrative pharmacist dedicated to finding the root causes of chronic health conditions. Her passion stems from her own diagnosis with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009, following a decade of debilitating symptoms. As an accomplished author, Dr. Wentz has written several best-selling books, including the New York Times best seller Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, the protocol-based #1 New York Times best seller Hashimoto's Protocol: A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back, and the Wall Street Journal best seller Hashimoto's Food Pharmacology: Nutrition Protocols and Healing Recipes to Take Charge of Your Thyroid Health. Her latest book, Adrenal Transformation Protocol, was released on April 18th, 2023. The book focuses on resetting the body's stress response through targeted safety signals and features a 4-week program that has already helped over 3,500 individuals. The program has an impressive success rate, with over 80% of participants improving their brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, sleep issues, and libido. http://thyroidpharmacist.com/ https://www.instagram.com/izabellawentzpharmd/ https://www.facebook.com/ThyroidLifestyle/

January doesn't fail you—your timing does. When most entrepreneurs try to plan and execute at the same time, the daily grind eats their goals by week two. We take a different path: build a 90-day plan before the year turns so you start with clarity, momentum, and a short list of actions that actually move numbers.We walk through a focused framework: reflect on last year's metrics, choose just two goals for the first quarter, and translate each into precise projects and tasks you can schedule and measure. Using a real example—adding 1,000 qualified email subscribers—we map the projects (podcast guesting, list swaps, and creating a relevant opt-in) and outline the task lists that make them work: researching aligned shows, crafting targeted pitches, aligning the opt-in to episode topics, setting dates, and tracking conversions with simple attribution. You'll hear how weekly check-ins on leading and lagging indicators help you pivot fast, protect your energy, and compound wins.We also share two client stories that underscore the payoff of early planning. One entered Q1 with tasks queued and saw a 25% revenue lift in the first 90 days. The other waited until January to plan, spent two weeks catching up, and never found traction. The takeaway is clear: planning is a multiplier when done before the calendar flips. If you want a calmer January and a stronger February, build your quarter now—set two goals, define your projects, break them into tasks, and measure what matters.Want the template and prompts we use?

Send us a textWelcome back to thelotco Business Podcast, I'm Melissa Robbins, your product-based business coach, retail strategist, and founder of thelotco.After 25 years in the industry, I've seen behind the scenes of hundreds of brands and retailers and here's what I know for sure: if your sales aren't where you want them to be, it's not your product.Last week, we talked about why your product probably isn't the problem when sales feel slow. This week, we're talking about the fix.Because if you're showing up online, posting Reels, and doing “all the right things,” but your sales still feel unpredictable it's not because you're bad at business. It's because you're relying on the wrong system.In this episode, I dive into:Why Instagram is amazing for attention, but terrible for consistent salesThe difference between visibility and conversionWhy email marketing is your secret weapon for predictable profitHow to set up simple systems that sell for you (even while you sleep)I'll also share stories from real founders who went from slow weeks to steady sales — all by turning email into their most profitable channel.And I share real client stories of what changed when they shifted from posting more to building smarter systems.If you're ready to stop relying on algorithms and start building consistent, reliable sales this episode is your next step.
Welcome to the Superstar Communicator podcast with Susan Heaton-Wright! In this powerful episode, Susan returns to the mic after a busy period of running mastermind courses, speaking, and coaching—ready to inspire her audience once again. Today's conversation centers around Black History Month and features award-winning HR professional, speaker, and activist Ije McDougall Together, they dive deep into the meaning and importance of Black History Month, share personal experiences of representation and bias—especially within the UK's healthcare sector—and discuss both the challenges and opportunities facing allies. You'll hear honest stories, insightful perspectives, and practical takeaways on how to celebrate, enjoy, and engage meaningfully with Black History Month. This episode is all about amplifying voices, embracing humanity, and reminding us how representation and allyship can spark real change. Get ready for a conversation that's equal parts thought-provoking and uplifting! About Ije McDougall: Ije McDougall's story begins in Nigeria, where growing up surrounded by fellow black Nigerians meant concepts like Black History Month were virtually nonexistent—there was no need for it in a society where blackness was the norm. It wasn't until McDougall moved to the UK as an adult that the existence of Black History Month sparked confusion and curiosity. "Why was it necessary?" was the question that lingered. After sixteen years of living in the UK, McDougall's perspective has evolved. Now, Black History Month is seen as a vital space—an opportunity for black voices to be amplified and heard without interruption. Through personal experience and reflection, McDougall's journey highlights the importance of celebrating black history in contexts where it's often marginalized, and how understanding grows with time and experience. You can contact Ije at IJETALKS.COM Key points from the interview (bold) Ije McDougall 00:04:09 - 00:04:25 Why Black History Month Matters in the UK: "black history Month, from my perspective, is an opportunity for black people to speak uninterrupted is an opportunity for our voices to be amplified." Ije McDougall 00:04:33 - 00:04:59 The Continued Importance of Black History Month: "But the reason that we need Black History Month and for our voices to be amplified and for us to be able to speak uninterrupted is because at the moment that is not the case. It is because at the moment our lived experience and our history seems to be disregarded, belittled, or just completely erased." Ije McDougall 00:07:47 - 00:07:51 Viral Topic: Challenging the Default Status Quo Quote: "the narrative is still that the status quo, the default position, the norm is white male... but that does not necessarily mean that that is true or that is real" Ije McDougall 00:10:54 - 00:11:24 Premature Births and Parental Anxiety: "my first child, she was born at 27 weeks, so she was very, very premature. But the build up to that is things such as, you know, being told it's my first child. So I'm excited, as you can imagine, turning up to the scan with your bladder full because they tell you your bladder has to be full. So I turn up and I am bursting, but nowhere doing this scan. And I'm sitting there and we've ticked all the boxes because we want to know some measurements in regards to." Ije McDougall 00:17:20 - 00:17:58 Viral Topic: The Impact of Representation in Media: "every princess, there was no princess that looked like me. There was no good policeman that looked like me. There was no hero that looked like my brother. There was no good teacher, good policeman, wholesome family. They just never look like me. So that is the represent, the lack of representation that I grew up with. However, if we were represented, we were misrepresented as thugs, as criminals, as gang members, we were represented as the one that's not so clever, the comedian of the class, the one who is disposable." Ije McDougall 00:18:49 - 00:19:01 Viral Topic: Diversity in Media Representation "It's not that there has been a significant rise that is true in, you know, black and brown people on tv, but it is not to the detriment of anybody else." Ije McDougall 00:19:16 - 00:19:34 Representation in Advertising: "if we have a few months where there are no white people on tv, it still would not, it still would not tip it to the detriment of white people because everybody else grew up without representation or with misrepresentation." Ije McDougall 00:20:47 - 00:21:05 The Reality of Allyship Online: "I'm not seeing enough people stand up. I'm not seeing enough. You know, allyship is such a buzzword and it's such a useful term because it tells you who people are. But I'm not seeing as many as I wish I was seeing." Ije McDougall 00:22:25 - 00:22:43 Viral Topic: Authentic Allyship "You need to understand the issues as a human being. First of all, you do need to gain proximity. Try and get your head around it. And if you, from a human level, you see that, no, that's not fair because another human being shouldn't have to do this, then by all means, it's time to, you know, stand up in your standing up." Ije McDougall 00:23:31 - 00:23:41 Viral Topic: The Power of Authenticity Online: "She's not aggressive, she's not fighting anybody, she's not in any debates or arguments. But she just clearly states who she is, what she stands for. And people know."

Get THE Leftover Pieces APP & don't miss anything! CLICK HERE TODAY -- No heroics required. A window of light, a seven-minute finish, and a two-sentence check-in can turn a spinning day into a survivable one. Journal prompt: “What I'm keeping from this month is…”Your Personal Flicker–Brick–Step Plan (Rough-Day Ready) On the days when suicide loss surges—the date you didn't mean to remember, the song that blindsides you, the blame-loop at 2 a.m.—you don't need pep. You need a plan that can meet the wave.Rough days deserve a plan you can run on muscle memory. Start with a flicker that honors your grief, not erases it: stand by a window, touch their bracelet or photo, say their name and yours. Let that cue your rebuild—one small brick that steadies a body carrying trauma: a 7-minute shower; light a candle and breathe a longer exhale; clear the memorial corner's surface so it feels gentler to approach; text one survivor-friend “no fixing—just witness?” Then take a step that carries them forward with you: add one line to your witness log about a memory; schedule the support group link for tonight; send a two-sentence check-in to another bereaved parent. This isn't moving on. It's moving with.Choose-your-energy menu:Hollow (low): Stand by a window holding their item (or hand on heart). Say, “I miss you, and I'm breathing.” Five long exhales. If tears come, that's capacity doing its job; you're done for today.Healing (medium): Do the flicker and one 7–10 minute brick aimed at activation (shower; clear one square; light candle + 3 rounds of 3-3-6 breath). When the timer dings, stop. Drink a full glass of water.Becoming (higher): Run all three: flicker → brick → step that carries forward (add a memory line, send the group RSVP, message a survivor ally for a 10-minute call). Save a pinned note titled “Rough-Day Plan: name • candle • 7-min shower • text Jess.”As we end today: Pre-deciding isn't performative strength; it's trauma care. A grief-true plan—speak their name, regulate your body, take one carrying-forward step—cuts through shame and gives the wave somewhere to go. Keep the structure, flex the pieces. On the worst days, being held by three simple moves is courage.Exhale. Keep what serves you; leave the rest. I'll be here again tomorrow.

Ever feel like your creative business has you constantly putting out fires instead of making meaningful progress? You're not alone. The freedom we crave as content creators often leads to business chaos when we "wing it" without structure.In this episode, I unpack why scattered approaches fail entrepreneurs and how implementing a strategic 90-day plan transforms both your business results and your quality of life. The problem isn't your creativity or work ethic—it's the lack of focused direction. When you jump from tactic to tactic without measuring impact, you burn valuable energy without gaining traction.A 90-day plan works because it provides the perfect balance between focus and flexibility. This timeline naturally aligns with business quarters while allowing you to adapt to your audience's seasonal needs. You'll experience quick wins that build momentum instead of chasing every shiny object or trend that comes along. The structure helps you prioritize what truly matters by focusing on just 1-3 core goals, creating measurable checkpoints that keep you accountable, and giving you the ability to adjust strategies without abandoning your vision.Through practical examples like growing your email list through podcast appearances and summit participation, I demonstrate how to break big goals into manageable projects and specific tasks. The result? Predictable revenue, sustainable content creation, and a positive mindset where you run your business instead of letting it run you.Ready to transform your business approach? Join my 90-Day Plan Program to get the exact system we implement at our annual Insiders Retreat. Stop the overwhelm and start seeing the progress your hard work deserves. Your future self will thank you for the clarity and momentum you're about to create.Support the show

Other than the rut, I can't think of a more exciting time of deer season than opening day. Aspirations are high. Weather patterns start to turn.

If opening day dreams always unfolded according to plan, there'd be a lot less mature bucks on the landscape. Unless you have a tightly manicured hunting situation, your...

Ever created a beautiful 90-day plan only to find it collecting dust by week three? You're not alone. The frustration of abandoned business plans is universal among entrepreneurs, but the solution may surprise you.The failure of your 90-day plan isn't about inadequate strategy or picking the wrong focus areas. The real culprit? A lack of built-in consistency. We've been conditioned to believe that more goals, more projects, and more tasks equal greater success. But this approach creates plans that are impossible to sustain. Without breaking ambitious quarterly goals into manageable daily and weekly components, overwhelm is inevitable.Most business owners rely heavily on motivation to drive execution—a dangerous trap, especially for women juggling multiple responsibilities. Motivation fluctuates based on circumstances, energy levels, and competing priorities. The solution lies in a three-part framework that transforms planning into consistent action. First, simplify by selecting only 1-3 marketing priorities using a "keep-cut-start" audit process. Second, systematize with batching and time blocking techniques that create non-negotiable workflows in your week. Third, establish support mechanisms through accountability partners, community, or coaching to keep you on track when motivation inevitably wanes.As we approach Q4—typically bringing both increased opportunity and potential overwhelm—having these systems becomes even more critical. Your 90-day plan isn't fundamentally flawed; it simply needs the foundation of consistency to transform it from an ambitious document into a lived reality. Take one marketing activity you know you can maintain, schedule it as a recurring time block in your week, and watch how this small step creates momentum toward your larger goals. Ready to finally make your 90-day plan work? Join our Insiders membership where we're building consistency step by step throughout September.Support the show

What if your growth path wasn't adding more clients, but working fewer, higher-quality roles with people who genuinely value your service? Allicia Birch, founder of 4tify Recruitment, built a six-figure recruitment firm in her first year — without cold calls, without compromising on fees, and without chasing every job. Her success came down to discipline: working to a structured 12-hour day in 15-minute blocks, building a reputation-based BD strategy, and walking away from bad-fit clients. You'll hear how she transformed underperformance into consistent high billings, created multi-division revenue from single clients, and productised her approach to business development — including how she sells high-ticket projects, runs invite-only roundtables, and uses market intelligence to position herself as a trusted partner, not just a vendor. 4tify is based in Manchester and specializes in construction industry recruitment. After 8 years in the industry, Allicia has become a leading voice in the residential new build market. Episode Highlights [03:20] How she struggled during the first three years with plenty of lessons [14:11] Breakdown to Breakthrough - turning things around from 250k to 350k billings [20:25] What inspired the launch of 4tify [26:10] Key success factors in the first 12 months of business [35:19] Her idea of a cold call - how she does BD without 'cold calling' [44:26] Best practices on being organized and creating a Day Plan [48:30] How market intelligence helps provide custom-fit solutions to clients [58:21] The round-table engagement strategy [1:03:04] What's next for the team Key Takeaways Training Makes the Difference: Her first three years brought zero earnings until proper training at Anderson James turned everything around. A breakthrough coaching session helped her jump from struggling to billing £250,000–£350,000 per year. Client Selection Strategy: "If you're trying to beat me down to 10%, I'm not your recruiter. I don't get out of bed for that." She only works with clients who respect her values, turning down low-fee roles and walking away from companies that don't align. Daily Structure: Speaks to 30 people per day (150 per week) - all warm calls through referrals Plans the day in 15-minute increments the night before at 9 PM Works closest to money first: live processes, then candidates, then client development Uses Excel spreadsheets with checkboxes and color coordination Market Intelligence: Uses reputational analysis to provide custom-fit solutions to each client. Her genuine, relationship-first approach thrives on meaningful partnerships – no cold calling, just honest conversations and deep understanding of what makes great teams work.
