Freedom by Design: How to Build a Profitable Business That Serves Your Life with Michael Walsh Most entrepreneurs start their journey with the dream of freedom—yet many quickly find themselves trapped by the very businesses they built. Revenue grows, responsibilities pile up, and the joy of entrepreneurship fades into overwhelm. In this Episode of the Profit Answer Man, I sat down with Michael Walsh, founder of the Walsh Business Growth Institute and author of Freedom by Design, to unpack how business owners can create companies that support—not suffocate—their lives. Michael has spent over 30 years guiding business owners through the predictable “danger zones” of growth. His message is clear: profit and freedom come when you design your business around your life, not the other way around. Key Insights from Michael Walsh: Business Must Serve Life, Not Just Profit. Too many owners chase revenue milestones—$1M, $5M, $10M—only to find bigger problems waiting at each stage. Michael warns: if profit is your only motivator, satisfaction will always elude you. The companies that thrive long-term are those designed to support the owner's life and impact. Reflection: Is your business structured to fuel your life's goals—or is your life revolving around your business? Growth Brings Predictable “Danger Zones”. Michael outlined the common revenue milestones where owners hit walls: $1M–$1.2M → the “zone of hell” where you're too big for DIY systems but too small to afford enterprise solutions. $5M and $10M → structures and systems must evolve or growth stalls. $12M–$20M → the toughest chasm, where people complexity and outdated processes collide. Takeaway: Each new level requires reinventing systems, structures, and leadership—not just “working harder.” Systems Alone Don't Scale—People Do. Rocky and Michael both love spreadsheets, but Michael cautions: numbers tell the story, but people drive the result. A well-designed business empowers its people to excel rather than constraining them with rigid systems. Reflection: Are your processes freeing your team to use their strengths—or boxing them in like cogs in a machine? Freedom Comes from Teamwork, Not Control. Michael stresses that leaders must shift from command-and-control to building intelligent ecosystems. True management is about helping people think, thrive, and work together. When teams are supported—not micromanaged—2+2 can equal 6. Question: How much time do you spend training people how to work together, not just what to do? The Future Belongs to the Creative Business Owner. AI is transforming the business landscape, but Michael warns that owners who outsource thinking to machines lose their edge. The next era isn't the Information Age—it's the Age of Creativity. Those who combine human insight with AI tools will thrive. Action Step: Don't fear AI—learn to use it as a creative partner to free you up for high-value problem solving. Key Takeaways: Profit Alone Won't Bring Fulfillment. Chasing revenue milestones without purpose leads to burnout. Businesses built around life goals—not just profit—create more satisfaction and sustainability. Growth Has Predictable “Danger Zones”. Each revenue milestone ($1M, $5M, $10M, $20M) comes with hidden challenges. Systems, structures, and leadership must evolve at every stage, or growth will stall. Systems Must Support People—Not Control Them. Processes should free your team to use their strengths, not box them in like cogs. Businesses thrive when systems empower people to excel. Freedom Comes Through Teams, Not Micromanagement. Leaders must shift from command-and-control to cultivating intelligent ecosystems. Strong teamwork multiplies results and creates freedom for owners. The Next Age is Creativity, Powered by AI. AI won't replace entrepreneurs—but those who creatively combine human judgment with AI tools will have a massive advantage in the years ahead. About Michael Walsh: Michael Walsh is the founder of the Walsh Business Growth Institute and author of Freedom by Design: The Business Owner's Guide to Grow, Make an Impact, and Find Joy Again. For over 30 years, he has helped business owners in Canada, the U.S., and Europe scale profitably by aligning their companies with their life goals. Links: Website: http://www.walshbusinessgrowth.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-walsh/ Conclusion: Freedom in business isn't about hitting the next revenue milestone—it's about designing a company that grows with you, supports your lifestyle, and empowers your team. Michael Walsh reminds us that profit follows purpose, systems must evolve with scale, and people—not spreadsheets—ultimately drive success. As the business landscape shifts into the age of creativity, those who align vision, systems, and people while leveraging tools like AI will unlock both profitability and freedom. Your business should give you life, not take it away. The choice to design it that way is yours.

Brett Blanchard, an incredible Ninja and top-producing agent from Louisiana, joins host Eric Thompson today to share three powerful, game-changing takeaways that have transformed his business and his mindset in the last year. Together, they dive into the simple yet profound strategies for earning what you are worth, overcoming burnout by rediscovering the fun in your work, and adapting your networking strategy when life inevitably changes. Eric and Brett pull back the curtain on how a single change in mindset and language can lead to a 20% increase in your fee per transaction. They explore the creative and authentic ways Brett found new "flow" and client connections in unexpected places after a personal lifestyle change altered his daily routines. Brett goes on to explain how he pinpointed the administrative tasks that were draining his energy and made the decision to outsource them, a move that was funded by his increased commission and ultimately reignited his passion for the business. Listen in now to this practical and inspiring blueprint for building a more profitable, sustainable, and enjoyable real estate business. Episode Highlights: Confidently ask for the commission you deserve to increase your income. Clients will recognize your value only after you recognize it yourself. Delegate energy-draining administrative tasks to avoid burnout and focus on what you love. Reinvest your higher earnings into support systems that create more joy and profit. Evolve your networking strategies as your personal life and routines change. Find new, authentic places to connect with people that align with your interests. Authenticity is the magnet that attracts your ideal clients and your tribe. If you feel stuck or unhappy, talk to a coach or mentor to find a solution. Key Takeaways: "You literally just ask for it. You just ask for it. You are worth it. You are already doing the work." "When you show your worth, you will get it, which we already show our worth." "You believe that you are worth it. And that is where it starts. It is always mindset, then skillset, then action." "Price your offering appropriately for who you are for." "I have just found a flow in a totally different direction... When your routine changes and your life changes, your flow kind of naturally has to change." "You just figure it out and you just start doing things you like, and the business comes from seeing those people while you are doing something you like." "If you feel something, say something, too. Let somebody know." "It just feels good to get paid what we feel like we are worth." "Just be yourself. Nobody really actually cares."

If you've ever wondered why the content you're posting on your website, on social media or anywhere isn't getting you more clients signed up for your programs, this episode is a must-listen. One of the most common mistakes health professionals make (one I also made myself early in my career), is giving away too much for free. You're a natural educator and you love helping people, so you share recipes, tips, plans, and strategies… but if you're giving people what feels like a full solution in your free content, they'll walk away thinking they don't need to hire you. In this episode, I'll walk you through: How to know if you're over-teaching in your free content Why action steps, checklists, and “mini plans” can actually hurt your sales The critical difference between free “stepping stone” content and paid content How to create a strategic content plan that turns followers into buyers I'll also share the exact framework I used to go from a struggling health blogger to selling online programs every single day without giving away my best work for free. I also share about an upcoming course I'm hosting live, the Build Your Digital Practice Bootcamp. If you want to finally stop creating endless free content that doesn't convert and start getting clients signed up every day, you need to be here.

I've never done an episode solely about coaching before, but as more salon owners than ever are either having a coach or wanting to become a coach, I think it's about time. Coaching has been one of the biggest game-changers in my own career and in the lives of hundreds of salon owners I've worked with across more than 14 countries. Yet for many, it's still a bit of a mystery.In this episode, I unpack what coaching is (and what it isn't), how it's different from mentoring, consulting, and teaching, and why it can accelerate your results in ways that books and courses alone can't. I share stories from my own journey, both as a coach and as someone who's been coached, and the qualities I believe you should look for (and avoid) when hiring one.If you've been quietly wondering whether coaching might be the right next step for you, this conversation will give you the clarity, confidence, and practical insight you need to decide. And yes, I'll tell you exactly how you can work with me before my prices go up later this year.IN THIS EPISODE:[02:19] Coaching's rise in the salon industry[06:55] The common thread between salon owners who seek coaching[09:41] How coaching brings clarity, confidence, and profit[11:02] What coaching is, and what it isn't[12:22] How my experience combines mentoring and coaching[12:36] What to look for when hiring a coach[14:12] What to avoid in a coach[15:58] How I help my coaching clients grow profit without extra stress[17:38] Why you don't need to figure it all out on your ownWant MORE to help you GROW?

What You'll Learn Why 50% of small businesses actually quit rather than fail, and how to avoid becoming part of that statistic The predictable pattern that hits entrepreneurs around year 3-4 and how to navigate "the messy middle" How to build your personal board of directors with five specific types of advisors The critical difference between working in your business versus working on your business How to conduct a business breakthrough strategy, starting with your numbers Why profit margins matter more than revenue and how to calculate what you're really earning How to find your micro audience and unique differentiator without fear-based thinking Cash flow management fundamentals that prevent payroll crises The mindset shifts that separate successful entrepreneurs from those who quit This episode features Jennifer Kok, a business coach with 25 years of entrepreneurial experience who literally delivered her baby and cookie orders on the same day she opened her business. Jennifer challenges the common belief that small businesses fail, arguing instead that they quit, particularly around the 3-4 year mark when entrepreneurs hit what she calls "the messy middle." The conversation covers Jennifer's journey from corporate America to cookie business owner, including a humbling moment when she had to put payroll on a credit card during a family vacation. This crisis became a turning point that led her to master business fundamentals and eventually help other entrepreneurs avoid similar pitfalls. Key insights include the importance of building a personal board of directors (comprising five specific types of advisors), understanding profit margins over vanity metrics such as revenue, and developing systems for working on your business rather than just in it. Jennifer emphasizes that entrepreneurial challenges aren't character flaws but navigation points toward better systems. That isolation kills more businesses than a bad strategy. The episode explores the psychological aspects of entrepreneurship, highlighting the interconnection between personal and business growth, and provides practical strategies for financial management, targeting micro-audiences, and maintaining confidence during challenging periods.

Picture this: You're scrolling LinkedIn and see a post from a dietitian with 15+ years of experience, multiple certifications, and incredible client results. She's talking about her private practice, but then she says something that makes your stomach drop: "I hope $150 per session isn't too much to ask for my services. I don't want to be greedy." Fifteen years. Multiple certifications. Life-changing client transformations. And she's apologizing for charging what a new personal trainer charges for a single workout. If this scenario makes you cringe, you're not alone. But if it makes you cringe because you recognize yourself in it, then we need to talk. Because here's what I know after mentoring hundreds of dietitians: the biggest factor determining your income isn't your credentials, your niche, or even your marketing strategy. It's your confidence.

Here's the breakdown: Why brilliant, experienced dietitians chronically undervalue themselves (and how this impacts your entire career) The hidden financial cost of low confidence (it's way more than you think) How your confidence level directly impacts your clients' results and their willingness to pay premium rates The 4 Pillars of Profitable Confidence system that changes how you show up in your business Specific daily practices to build self-worth that can't be shaken by rejection or criticism How to reframe the "I should be grateful" mindset that's keeping you financially stuck The confidence-pricing connection: why raising your rates actually serves your clients better RESOURCES & LINKS Free Resource This Month: The Private Practice Foundation Blueprint - Start your private practice with confidence Related Episodes: Episode 41: Creating Confidence Episode 150: Comparing Yourself To Others CONNECT & TAKE ACTION Find Christine: Email: hello@manipuracentre.co Podcast: Make More Money as a Dietitian on Apple Podcasts | Spotify Community: Join 1200+ dietitians in The Make More Money as a Dietitian Community Instagram: @money.mindset.dietitian Website: manipuracentre.co Your Next Steps: Step 1: Stop Apologizing Starting today, notice when you apologize for your rates, your expertise, or taking up space.

Mastering these leads to control and confidence.Adaptability is StrengthListening to your customers and pivoting from your original business idea can open unexpected doors to scalable success.Plan to Exit Before You Want OutThe time to prepare your business for sale is not when you're ready to leave but well before, while you still have the clarity and control to make it valuable to someone else.Tell Your Story LoudlyWhether testifying before Congress or launching a business, Ciara emphasizes the power of sharing your personal experience to drive change and connect with others.Quote“It's not super attractive to fill out your spreadsheet and to look at your financials.

Just six years later, his first novel was published, marking the start of a remarkably prolific career.And as if that wasn't enough, he also worked as a journalist for the Boston Globe and even wrote poetry.

A brief tale of the dismal success of a scientist's experiment. Anton's Last Dream by Edwin Baird. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Another podcast, another debut—this time for author Edwin Baird. Best known as the first editor of Weird Tales magazine, Baird helped launch the iconic American fantasy and horror pulp, whose first issue was dated March 1923 and hit newsstands on February 18 of that year.However, Weird Tales got off to a rocky start. Plagued by financial difficulties, the magazine struggled, and Baird was dismissed after just one year at the helm. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1886, Baird published four short stories during his lifetime—three before Weird Tales and one in the very magazine that let him go.Yet perhaps his most enduring legacy lies in his editorial decisions. As the magazine's founding editor, Baird was among the first to publish the work of a now-legendary author: H.P. Lovecraft. And if you've heard our earlier episodes, you'll recall that Lovecraft was a tireless letter writer. Thankfully many of his letters were preserved, including this one to Baird.Shortly after the first issue of Weird Tales was published Lovecraft let himself be persuaded to send Edwin Baird five manuscripts. This is a portion of the letter Lovecraft sent, “My Dear Sir: Having a habit of writing weird, macabre, and fantastic stories for my own amusement, I have lately been simultaneously hounded by nearly a dozen well-meaning friends into deciding to submit a few of these Gothic horrors to your newly-founded periodical. The decision is herewith carried out. Enclosed are five tales written between 1917 and 1923.I have no idea that these things will be found suitable, for I pay no attention to the demands of commercial writing. My object is such pleasure as I can obtain from the creation of certain bizarre pictures, situations, or atmospheric effects; and the only reader I hold in mind is myself.My models are invariably the older writers, especially Poe, who has been my favorite literary figure since early childhood. Should any miracle impel you to consider the publication of my tales, I have but one condition to offer; and that is that no excisions be made. If the tale can not be printed as written, down to the very last semicolon and comma, it must gracefully accept rejection.”So there you have it, a little piece of science fiction history thanks to Weird Tales editor Edwin Baird.Published in Weird Tales Magazine in May 1937 on page 607, Anton's Last Dream by Edwin Baird…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A Certain Young Man Finds Dying a Profitable Business.
