Feeling stuck in your business—even though you're working nonstop? Here's the hard truth that changed everything for me (and might be exactly what you need to hear too).“I've been at this for a while, and I care so much about what I do—but I feel like I'm running in circles. I'm working so hard, but nothing seems to be moving. How do you know when it's time to change something—or if maybe you're just not cut out for this?”That was the question Melissa sent in—and it stopped me in my tracks. Not because I hadn't heard it before… but because I had lived it.In this solo Q&A episode, I'm sharing the story of one of the hardest seasons in my business—and the moment someone gave me a piece of advice that completely changed the way I show up as a leader.If you've been pouring your heart into your business, doing everything you think you're “supposed” to do, and still not seeing the results you want… this episode is for you.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:✅ The difference between working hard and leading wisely ✅ The habits that secretly keep entrepreneurs stuck—and how to spot them ✅ What it really takes to build a business that sustains you and your mission ✅ How to stop spinning and start scaling, without selling out your values3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Effort ≠ Growth If you're constantly doing more but still not getting ahead, it might be time to change how you're working—not how hard.2️⃣ Old Habits Can't Build New Results Clinging to comfort is often what's keeping you small. Growth requires letting go of what no longer serves your next level.3️⃣ Leading Means Building With Intention You can't just show up and hope for success. You need a plan, a process, and a path that actually supports you—so you can keep showing up for your mission.MORE FROM ME: Follow me on Instagram → @janditchfield.co RATE, REVIEW, & FOLLOW ON APPPLE PODCASTS "Jan's advice on building a business that aligns with my values is exactly what I've been looking for!"

Send us a textWatch Episode on YouTube: HereDownload FREE Audio Series: Fear To FreedomIn today's episode, I'm revealing the moment I realized my first business was deeply unsustainable despite its financial success. I share how operating from hustle, hyper-masculine energy, and constant output led me to burnout, disconnection, and nervous system dysregulation.But this isn't just about what went wrong—this episode is about what I did differently when building my second business. A business rooted in purpose, peace, and aligned strategy. If you're a visionary entrepreneur craving success without sacrificing your well-being, this episode is your permission slip to recalibrate.Topics Discussed:The difference between building from pressure vs. purposeWhy burnout isn't always about overworking—but misalignmentThe power of “micro-aligned actions” for reaching your big visionHow to reverse engineer your dream business through embodimentThe real reason most strategies don't work and how to fix themWhy discipline, energy, and nervous system regulation are non-negotiable for sustainable growthPrograms: BURNOUT TO ABUNDANCEMAGNETIC BRANDING FOUNDATION ABUNDANT FREQUENCY CODE WEALTH FREQUENCY CODE My Wellness Podcast:THE FREQUENCY CODE Freebies:DOWNLOAD THE FREE BRAND GUIDEWATCH MY NEW: FREE "SALES ACCELERATOR METHOD" MASTERCLASSMy Websites:PERSONAL WEBSITECREATIVE AGENCY WEBSITEWELLNESS WEBSITEFind Me Here:INSTAGRAM: @monikafreeman @monikafreemanstudios @createtheflowpodcastYOUTUBE @monika.freemanTIKTOK: @monika.freeman

Those are the three rules of business." - Dave RamseyFinancial expert Dave Ramsey pulls back the curtain on entrepreneurial reality, sharing wisdom gained from decades of business experience. With refreshing honesty, he reveals the three critical rules every aspiring business owner should know: expect your first idea to fail, avoid borrowing money that magnifies mistakes, and prepare for everything to take twice as long and cost twice as much as planned. His straightforward approach cuts through the romanticized notions of entrepreneurship, offering a roadmap that acknowledges the inevitable stumbles while providing practical guardrails.The conversation takes a vulnerable turn as Ramsey reflects on the emotional rollercoaster of building his empire—from being devastated by the first team member resignation to learning that the things he thought would "kill" his business never did. Through trial and error, he discovered how to quiet what he calls "the drama queen" in his head, developing the resilience necessary for long-term success. His journey illustrates how entrepreneurial growth isn't just about business strategy but equally about emotional maturity and perspective gained through perseverance.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Imagine a baseball team that throws out the rulebook—not just for the game, but for how they do business. Meet the Savannah Bananas, a team that's less about scoring runs and more about sparking joy.Led by owner Jesse Cole, this isn't your typical sports team. As Jesse puts it, "We have no interest in being a billion-dollar business, but we want to create a billion fans." The Bananas have grown into a fan-driven phenomenon built on a simple but radical idea: put fans first and never stop entertaining. When most teams chase sponsorship dollars, the Bananas ditch ads and create experiences people can't stop talking about.Their approach is delightfully unconventional. They've removed third-party ticketing fees, sent handwritten thank-you notes, and featured players who might break into dance mid-game. Marketing that doesn't feel like marketing. The result? They recently sold out their first NFL stadium, are building a passionate fanbase, and proving that when you truly put people first, the money follows. Join Jesse, Kara, Carson, and host Dave Charest for this masterclass in customer experience that any business can learn from.Additional resourcesCreate and Manage TagsUnderstanding Contact SegmentationGetting Started with the Automation Path BuilderConnect your Shopify account to Constant ContactMeet Today's Guests: Jesse Cole, Kara Heater and Carson Bowen of Savannah Bananas

In this bonus Q and A, Jeni Hott sits down with longtime friends to unpack the evolution of online entrepreneurship—from the early days of AOL chat rooms to today's AI-powered marketing tools. Jeni breaks down the four major business models she's worked in, why she avoids ads (still!), and how she builds evergreen, automated systems that run themselves for months at a time.She shares how she chooses which ideas to pursue, why traffic is everything, and how she's used the same core strategies for over two decades across wildly different businesses—from art to education to (soon) a day-trading firm.

Success isn't just about numbers—it's about building a business that amplifies your life, not consumes it. In this episode of The Fierce Factor, we're flipping the script on success and redefining what it truly means to build a business that serves you first. We've been conditioned to believe that scaling means sacrificing, that building wealth means burning out, and that if we want freedom, we have to compromise financial success. But what if that's all a lie? Enter the Life-First Business Model – my approach to designing a profitable, scalable business without sacrificing your well-being, creativity, or joy. I'm breaking down why the endless chase for more often leads to burnout, not fulfillment, the power of micro-shifts and how small, strategic pivots create exponential impact, how to structure your business to fuel your life rather than the other way around, and the key mindset shifts that make sustainable success inevitable. If you're tired of feeling overworked, underwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle that no longer serves you, this episode will be the wake-up call you need. Let's redefine success on your terms. And if you're ready to take this work even deeper, join me for our FREE 5-day SPARK Leadership Sprint, happening March 17-21. This is your chance to reconnect with your vision, build momentum, and create success without the hustle. Listen now and start building a business that works for you, not the other way around.

Working parents with young children are modern-day superheroes. Between juggling a growing family while pursuing ambitions? That's never easy.If you're feeling this way, we understand! By the end of the day, you might get exhausted, like you haven't accomplished enough.But what if you could change that perspective? Instead of focusing on what you didn't achieve, why not appreciate the small wins?In this Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos answers one of the crucial questions of his accelerator members - how to manage time for family and business while keeping both of them thriving. As a dad of a toddler and a newborn, Balazs relates to these situations and shares his strategies that inspired the GPM Method.He wants you to start with a mindset to give yourself grace whenever you accomplish something big or small. A few hours of deep work, meal prepping, playing with the kids, and self-care are all "wins." They contribute to a sense of accomplishment and well-being that will motivate you to keep going. Next, consistency is key. Balazs recommends outsourcing tasks that you can no longer handle so you can focus on what you do best. It requires you to prioritize, delegate, and learn to say "no" to things that don't align with your values."Don't be super hard on yourself. Things take time, and as long as you're consistently showing up, it will click, and it will happen." - Balazs W KardosTune into this episode to embrace the "win your day" mentality and celebrate wins, prioritize wellness, and remember that consistent effort, over time, will lead to lasting success.Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:How can you manage work and family life with young children?What does it mean to "Win the day?"Why should you consider a few hours of productivity a win?How can you outsource tasks wisely?Why should you document your progress?Join the GPM Method WaitlistWant a Personalized Plan for Business & Life Optimization?Book A FREE Call Connect with Balazs W Kardos:WebsiteFacebookThe Diamond Life CommunityLinkedInYouTubeInstagramThe Diamond Life Mentor Instagram

He is the definition of "thinking outside the box".​​Perpetually working on a myriad of projects simultaneously amongst his companies, he has now (along with yours truly) put his efforts towards creating the world's best toothpaste! During our conversation in today's episode, he drops some teasers about the toothpaste and why it will be an unmatched product on the market. David credits his mentor, whom he describes as a "savant physicist", that we worked with for 20 years for providing him not only with the incredible depth of knowledge that he possesses that allows him to create all of his amazing frequency innovations, but even more so for the way he thinks outside of the box; of as David put it: "I don't have a box."David is the brilliant mind that helped me create what is now today the BioCream, as well as assisted me with the design and formulas of the BioBlue and BioC60 product lines. We have commenced our next venture together with a leading-edge toothpaste. Stay tuned about the toothpaste your teeth and oral cavity have been waiting for​​!​​If you found the information in today's episode with David Horinek particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

Lessons learned from a childhood business, and how they apply to partnerships as a Second-In-Command. In this episode of The Right-Hand Roadmap, we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane with Megan Long, as she shares the story of her very first business—Bodacious Beads—and the early lessons she learned about unequal partnerships. As a young entrepreneur making beaded jewelry with a childhood friend, Megan quickly realized that not all partners contribute equally. This experience, while playful at the time, echoed deeply in her later career as a COO. Many seconds-in-command know the feeling of carrying the bulk of the workload while the CEO enjoys the spotlight and reaps the rewards. Through this story, we encourage all second-in-commands to reflect on their roles and ask the tough questions: Are you fulfilled by the work you do? How can you reconcile your role to ensure it aligns with your personal goals? Tune in to hear how personal fulfillment plays a crucial role in long-lasting and successful partnerships. You'll hear all about: 00:40 – The story of Megan's first business, Bodacious Beads, which she started with a childhood friend, diving into early experiences of partnership dynamics. 02:20 – Megan describes the process of making jewelry and her unexpected realization when her partner contributed significantly less. 04:03 – The moment of truth arrives at a craft show when Megan notices the difference in effort between her and her friend, introducing her to the concept of unequal partnerships. 05:00 – Drawing parallels to her experience as a Second-In-Command, Megan explains the unequal work dynamics COOs can face when managing the day-to-day while the CEO enjoys the spotlight. 06:05 – She emphasizes the importance of finding personal fulfillment and alignment with career goals as a COO.

In this live interview on the Tales to Inspire podcast, host Krish Patel speaks with James Timpson, CEO of Timpson Group. James shares his journey from a tumultuous childhood, influenced by his mother's role as a foster carer, to leading a successful family business. He recounts his early entrepreneurial experiences, including running a shoe repair shop at boarding school and working within the family business. James discusses Timpson's growth, which includes 17 businesses like Timpson, Max Spielman, and Johnsons Cleaners, and highlights the company's commitment to strong culture, employee trust, and social responsibility. He emphasises efforts to hire ex-offenders, maintain a simple business model, and balance profitability with social good. The conversation also covers challenges in retail, the hybrid retail model, and the importance of practical solutions and work-life balance. Key Takeaways: Upside-Down Management: Timpson's business model is founded on the principle of minimal rules and maximum employee autonomy. Staff are given the freedom to manage stock, set prices, and ensure shop cleanliness, which cultivates a motivated and flexible work environment. This approach encourages employees to take ownership of their roles and fosters a sense of trust and responsibility. Bonus Scheme: The company employs a weekly bonus system that rewards employees for exceeding sales targets. This performance-based incentive not only motivates staff to drive sales but also helps keep operational costs low. The scheme underscores the importance of aligning individual goals with company objectives to enhance overall performance. Business Acquisitions: Over the past two decades, Timpson has acquired 23 businesses. Successful integration of these new acquisitions is a lengthy process, often taking three years to see noticeable results. Key strategies for effective integration include refurbishing stores and upgrading facilities, which help build trust and align new businesses with Timpson's culture. Leadership & Hiring: Timpson places a strong emphasis on employee satisfaction, using the Happy Index survey to gauge and improve workplace morale. Recruitment is handled with care to ensure new hires fit the company culture. Leaders who do not meet the company's standards are promptly replaced, reinforcing the commitment to maintaining a positive and productive work environment. Social Good: Timpson is dedicated to making a positive social impact, particularly through its employment of ex-offenders. With 1 in 9 employees recruited from prison, the company supports reintegration into society by providing stable employment. Additionally, Timpson contributes to the green economy by recycling watch batteries and offering services that meet genuine needs. Future Goals: The company's focus is on sustained growth and maintaining a healthy cash balance without imposing rigid targets. Timpson's approach to acquisitions involves aligning with their core expertise and learning from past mistakes to avoid repeating them. James Timpson's insights into leadership, employee management, and social responsibility provide a valuable perspective on running a successful and ethical business. His emphasis on simplicity, trust, and a people-first approach highlights the importance of creating a positive and supportive workplace culture. Thanks for listening!
