Happy New Year Friend!   I really enjoy a fresh New Year! After several years of trying to figure out how to simplify this online business space and after creating my first paid digital product in July, I finally feel like I have cracked the code and learned to make it simple and profitable with very little expenses and very little tech.  In 2024, I had to step back as so many people were hustling and always chasing and that is the opposite of my simplicity brand and I didn't want to get sucked into that. Sometimes I think people are so focused on business, that they truly forget the meaning of intentional time. I want Jesus and family first and my business running on its own so I have less of it.  Once I stepped back, God dropped a business that taught me how to resell high ticket affiliate items after several months of being quiet.  It opened my eyes to how simple it can be. I also created digital products of my own which this course taught me as well.  In 2025, I learned from a few creators how to set up almost everything on automation through just 1 simple platform and a free instagram account scheduling 5-7 second reels.  It was a total game changer and I made my first paid product. This is not a get rich quick scheme as it has taken me hours of learning and creating the past few years, but I now feel very confident in teaching you how to do the same even if you have never had an online business before.  These 4 steps are key to setting up a profitable business & making it simple.    You need to have an idea of a product.  AI can create the products for you so you don't even need to worry about learning Canva and if you want to learn about something new coming with AI that you haven't seen before, make sure to get on my waitlist in the link below because it has saved me so many hours not only in my business, but also my personal life and there is a free class you aren't going to want to miss so you can see how simple it is and how little time it can take you to run a business. Once you have a product, set up a Stan Store account (I wouldn't set this up until you have at least one product done unless you plan to do a membership or something you don't need a product for so you can get the 2 week free trial and test it out and make sure you like it.  My free trial will be below as well. Start making 5-7 second reels and posting them with SEO friendly messaging-this can all be scheduled out, so you really don't even need to be on the app.  You need to be authentic~there is nothing curated on my account, believe me-sometimes it is a little cringe & embarrassing, but I am always real & honest. Seriously, it can be making your bed, grabbing your laundry out of the dryer, or pouring a cup of coffee-just make a video of something you do daily.  It really is that simple. Set up Many chat so everything can be delivered automatically and they can buy straight from your store even while you sleep and you can do this for free as well.  I was so excited to get my first sale, but I was even more excited to wake up to sales!  My first sale was $27 and my husband couldn't understand why I was so excited since it was less than I make as a nurse in 1 hour.  It was because the system works, it wasn't at all about the $27, it was about the simple automated system.     Lets make this year, your best year yet!

If you're trying to choose a price for your offer and it feels like throwing a dart blindfolded—you're not alone. This episode gives you a 2 Step System designed from a grounded, experienced perspective that'll help you set a price you and your leads feel good about.This solo episode is a mini-masterclass in pricing psychology, offer creation for service based businesses and online entrepreneurs, and the art of choosing a number that feels good and sells well.We'll cover:Why resentment is a bigger threat than overpricingThe real reason your clients say “it's too expensive” (hint: it's not your price)What to consider before you even think about scalingWhy you should never lead with the priceMarketing, business, entrepreneurship, and social media are all touched on in this honest and tactical episode.Wondering how do you price a new offer to SELL? Service providers and online entrepreneurs who are about to launch a new offer and are spinning out about the “right” price to charge need to listen to this one.

Ready to stop rebuilding from scratch and start shipping seasonal resources at speed? We open the playbook to turn a single “magic numbers” puzzle into a full set of New Year math activities across multiple grade levels. You'll hear exactly how we modify a cross-out template, expand the number grid, and map digits to letters to reveal a message like “Happy New Year.” Then we show how to populate the content fast by pulling problems from previous resources and using AI to draft themed word problems that you can fine-tune for clarity and rigor.Once the content is set, we move into a publishing pipeline built for batching. We export slides as PNGs, assemble clean student and answer PDFs, and drop in terms of use across every open file in one pass. For $2 listings, we keep covers and previews aligned with a template that demonstrates the puzzle mechanic without exposing the full resource. A quick promo window at a lower price point helps jumpstart traffic and search visibility before returning to the standard price. You'll see how this approach produced meaningful December revenue from low-cost items and, more importantly, surfaced clear data on which grades and topics actually convert.The bigger win is strategic: small seasonal products create fast feedback loops. By launching multiple versions—multiplication, equivalent fractions, solving equations—we learn which segments of our audience respond, then focus on middle grades and multi-level skills that sell. Templates carry forward year after year by swapping the reveal text from “Happy New Year” to “2026,” “2027,” and beyond, letting us scale output without sacrificing quality. If you want a practical, repeatable system to publish more, earn data faster, and keep your store active while you build high-ticket anchors, this walkthrough is for you. If it helps, share it with a fellow TPT seller, subscribe for more step-by-step builds, and leave a review with the next seasonal theme you want us to tackle.Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8_WAW0pWmucWatch How I Made 30 TPT Products in 10 Hours: https://youtu.be/Bkm0WQ-rg7s?si=W-f9TotQtsdQRdRL  Check Out My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/laurenfulton My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurentschappler/ My Other YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LaurenATsch  Free Rebranded Teacher Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/749538092194115  Support the show

You just signed another client, but instead of feeling excited, your stomach drops. Because you know exactly what happened, they want you for work you've been trying to move away from for the past year. You say yes anyway (because bills), then spend the next three months resenting every time their name pops up in your inbox. Sound familiar?This isn't a marketing problem or a messaging issue. It's an identity split, and it's the thing keeping you at the same income level month after month. You're saying one thing but selling another, and your business follows what you're selling, not what you're talking about. In this episode, I'm breaking down why you keep attracting clients for work you've outgrown, what this identity misalignment is actually costing you (financially and emotionally), and the exact steps to finally commit to the version of yourself you're trying to become.Key Points Covered:✨ Why your nervous system keeps you straddling two identities, and why the old one always wins✨ The audit questions to spot where your split identity is most obvious (Instagram vs website, bio vs offers)✨ What happens when you finally commit to one identity and align your whole business around it

#908 Like me, thousands of people started online businesses after getting laid off in 2008. In fact, there were hundreds of us specifically teaching entrepreneurship around that time. But why am I one of the few who are still around in this space now? The answer is actually really simple. I just never stopped showing up. That's right. For the most part, talent and luck will never beat consistency. It's the one thing we have complete control over and the top factor that determines if we succeed or fail. That's why today's episode contains a hard truth you need to hear. As we're going into 2026, I'll give you the tough love that can help you avoid quitting too soon.

In today's episode, we're breaking down why choosing a single annual word is one of the most effective ways to anchor your growth as a coach, business owner and human being.Most coaches set resolutions or stack a long list of goals they don't actually stay connected to past late January. A word works differently. It becomes an internal compass: a grounding intention that shapes how you make decisions, how you show up, and how you grow across an entire year.In this episode, I give you my thoughts on the word of the year exercise, some examples, how to set your word (and not set your word) and an explanation of my word going into 2026. Interested in getting your coaching business started?

I also talk through how tracking, testing, and having the right follow-up in place matter way more than the tool itself. The big takeaway is simple: use what's already working organically, then test your options so you're not guessing with your ad spend.‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍Watch this episode on YouTube!‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

In this episode, Kendra pulls back the curtain on what really happened behind the scenes of her business in 2025—a year that included a 20% revenue dip, massive life changes, and a complete recalibration of how she works. She shares why that decline still counts as a long-term win, how becoming a mom fundamentally changed her capacity and scheduling, and why many sales strategies that once worked stopped converting as buyer behavior shifted.Kendra walks through the strategic pivots she made throughout the year, including bringing back one-on-one programs, moving her community from Facebook to Slack, and replacing underperforming evergreen funnels with live webinars that converted cold traffic at impressive rates. She also breaks down the innovative sales approaches that worked best in this season—audio-only sales calls with extremely high conversion rates, low-ticket audits that led to major upsells, and open-house style coaching calls that let prospects experience her work before committing.The episode closes with honest reflection on balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood, the operational flexibility she adopted to meet clients where they were, and why she's confident 2026 will be a rebound year. If you're navigating growth alongside major life changes—or rebuilding after a tough year—this episode offers real perspective, data-backed decisions, and reassurance that progress doesn't always look linear.In this episode you'll learn:2025 Business Revenue Decline and ContextShifts in Consumer Behavior and Business ChallengesBusiness Strategic Changes and Lessons from 2025Innovative and Supportive Sales ApproachesOperational Flexibility and AccommodationsPersonal Reflections and Outlook for 2026  Leave the podcast a 5-star review: https://ratethispodcast.com/wealthy

Ready to replace guesswork with a game plan? We dive into TPT's latest seller updates and unpack how to use them to drive real revenue: unique buyers, carts, and a fresh set of calculated metrics that turn raw numbers into clear steps. I share how I read earnings per cart, earnings per view, and units per cart to spot where money leaks and how to plug them with bundles, add-ons, and smarter pricing.We explore the Product Insights tab to separate traffic issues from conversion issues. You'll hear concrete examples of listings that lost traffic but gained conversion and why that matters for ranking, previews, covers, and titles. I show how to sort winners and decliners, use wishlist trends, and filter by product categories to find the fastest opportunities. No fluff—just the exact clues that point to the next five updates worth your time.Then we get tactical with the new discount tools. Abandoned cart emails recover forgotten purchases with a simple 10% nudge, while follower discounts reward your audience and encourage the follow. I walk through an easy weekly activation cadence and share the lift I've seen without heavy promotion. We tie it all together with the three growth levers—traffic, conversion, and retention—and how to pick your focus for 2026 based on your own data, not a trend or a guess.If you're a TPT seller who wants higher earnings per view, stronger conversion, and more repeat buyers, this walkthrough is your roadmap. Listen, take notes, and then choose one lever to pull this month.

The online space is shifting fast — and if you create content for a living, you can feel it.In this episode of Unjaded, Vickie Dickson breaks down how content creators and online entrepreneurs need to adapt in 2026 as algorithms evolve, AI search expands, and audience behavior changes. This is not an episode about chasing trends or gaming platforms. It's about understanding what's actually being rewarded now — and how to work with it instead of burning yourself out.Vickie unpacks the rise of storytelling, answer-based content, personality-driven brands, long-form platforms, and the return to community and in-person connection. She also explains how Human Design offers a clear shortcut for creating content that feels natural, sustainable, and deeply human in an increasingly automated world.If you've been feeling like the old content rules no longer apply — you're right. This episode will help you recalibrate.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why storytelling matters more than ever in an AI-saturated online spaceHow content-based algorithms and AI search systems now scan and rank your contentWhat “answer-based content” really means and how to use itWhy vague spiritual language no longer converts — and what to say insteadHow to optimize your content for search intent without losing your voiceThe role personality plays in modern personal brands (and why hiding isn't working)How your Human Design Profile shapes the way you should create contentWhy UGC and everyday authenticity are outperforming polished brand contentThe growing return to community, in-person offerings, and analog experiencesWhy long-form content is winning again — and how it builds trust and demandHow to blend online visibility with offline connection in a changing marketKey Takeaway:The future of content isn't louder, faster, or more automated — it's clearer, more human, and more intentional. Creators who understand search intent, lean into storytelling, and show up as real people will be the ones who thrive in 2026 and beyond.Links and Resources:

Did you know aspiring entrepreneurs secretly LOVE to do nothing?On the one hand, Aspiring Entrepreneurs want lifestyle freedom and to be able to do what we want. We want to work a short productive, time so we don't have to work anymore.But on the other hand if you've ever felt yourself getting oddly comfortable delaying your dreams, then you're already familiar with the seduction of inaction. And it's a seduction we really don't want to cultivate. Too many aspiring entrepreneurs lean back when the world is in chaos They imagine the future collapsing in on itself in ways that conveniently justify why they simply cannot move forward today.In this episode, Case discusses how external chaos can become the perfect hiding place for internal hesitation, and the importance of understanding the psychology of entrepreneurial inaction so you can move out of it. Your Action Plan:Identify your purpose Accept that conditions will never be perfectReclaim your thoughts.Choose one small action dailyBuild your entrepreneurial environmentCommit to your future self.To have an enjoyable life  in our global, advanced tech society, you can create value.  To have the career, finances and lifestyle you desire, you can be on a proven path that has delivered in good times and bad.  The path of entrepreneurship.

How far can $100,000 really take you in business acquisitions? One deal?A small portfolio?Or a scalable acquisition machine? In this episode, Jaryd Krause sits down with SBA Business Development Officer Glenn Giro to break down the real math behind buying businesses with SBA financing, and why there’s technically no cap on how many businesses you can acquire, as long as you understand the rules that actually stop most buyers. They unpack how entrepreneurs are using up to 90% SBA financing, long 10-year terms, and no prepayment penalties to build portfolios most people assume are out of reach. You’ll discover: How $100,000 in cash can unlock a $1M+ acquisition The $5M SBA cap per NAICS code and how it impacts serial buyers Why banks love SBA loans (and why that matters to you) The real fees lenders don’t explain upfront How cash flow and debt service coverage are actually calculated What changes when you go from your first deal to your second, third, or fifth When 100% financing is possible and when it’s not Why do some high-multiple digital businesses get rejected The timeline lenders expect before approving your next acquisition If you’re serious about buying your first digital business or turning one deal into a portfolio of cash-flowing assets, this episode will completely reframe how you think about capital, leverage, and scale. Watch the full video to see the numbers, strategies, and acquisition pathways most buyers never learn about. Episode Highlights 02:55 – Why a “simple” 10% down payment can still kill your SBA deal if you don’t understand total project costs. 05:08 – The harsh truth: why $100K is often not enough to safely buy a $1M business. 10:52 – How SBA’s 75% loan guarantee unlocks 90% financing—and why banks are eager to lend. 12:57 – The hidden cost most buyers miss: $20K–$30K in SBA fees on a $1M acquisition. 15:16 – The real reason most buyers can’t buy a second business right after their first. 23:59 – The quiet rule that caps portfolios at $5M per NAICS code—and how it blocks long-term scaling. Key Takeaways ➥ SBA financing allows buyers to acquire businesses with as little as 10% down, but cash reserves and liquidity matter more than purchase price alone. ➥ The SBA’s 75% government guarantee reduces bank risk and unlocks long-term, high-leverage financing for profitable online businesses. ➥ Seller financing can help bridge equity gaps, but new rules requiring 10-year standby make it rare in competitive acquisitions. ➥ Most buyers need 6–12 months of successful operations before qualifying for a second SBA-backed acquisition—proof of execution accelerates approvals. ➥ Each business must support its own debt service; strong cash flow in one acquisition won’t compensate for a weak second deal. ➥ NAICS code limits quietly shape acquisition strategy—buyers who plan ahead can scale portfolios faster and avoid unexpected financing caps. About Glenn Giro Glenn Giro is a seasoned SBA business development officer and acquisition financing expert who helps entrepreneurs buy and grow businesses using strategic SBA-backed loans. He hosts “SBA University,” a training series for business owners and aspiring acquirers, and regularly speaks about acquisition financing and business ownership strategies.

When was the last time you got yelled at by online influencer? Probably five minutes ago? Maybe, like us, you're tired of business advice that feels more like a pep rally than a real lesson. So why do so many online business gurus shout louder than they teach? And what you should actually pay attention to when building your business? This lesson is all about cutting through the noise.Omar breaks down why the world of online business gurus is full of extreme takes and empty promises, and what you need to focus on instead. You'll learn why attention and certainty drive so much of the content out there, why most “one‑size‑fits‑all” advice is just performance, and how to filter the real, actionable fundamentals from all the hype. He also shares what makes a true teacher versus a performer, the importance of asking better questions, and why success is more about steady progress than quick wins.Smash, no wait. Simply 'tap' that play button at the top of the page to get practical advice you can actually use and discover what really works.
