"Cash flow is king. It's like oxygen to a small business. We can't breathe, we can't operate without it," says Kiley Peters. In this episode, Kiley offers listeners tangible, actionable advice on the often tricky terrain of cash flow management. Her primary strategy hinges on a balanced approach: curbing costs while innovatively ramping up revenue.Starting with expenses, Kiley drives home the significance of periodic financial audits. By closely examining credit card statements, she suggests business owners can often find and eliminate unnecessary costs, leading to substantial savings. Additionally, she suggests that during financial crunches, business owners might have to contemplate reducing their own salaries temporarily.In addition to spending less, Kiley encourages entrepreneurs to explore additional revenue streams. She suggests forming partnerships and affiliate agreements to incentivize referrals and increase business. She also touches on the elusive concept of passive revenue, acknowledging that while it may be challenging to achieve, it's worth exploring for long-term financial stability.Kiley also highlights the importance of leveraging technology to replace repetitive tasks and maximize the productivity of team members. By automating certain processes, business owners can free up time and resources to focus on higher-value activities. When it comes to funding, Kiley advises caution but acknowledges that sometimes taking on debt is necessary to weather the storm. She suggests exploring options such as lines of credit, loans, and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), emphasizing the importance of understanding interest rates and repayment terms. Throughout the episode, Kiley reminds listeners that entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. Making tough decisions and managing cash flow can be challenging, but it's an essential skill set for successful entrepreneurs. Quotes:"Make sure you're going through and either getting refunded or reimbursed expenses that are no longer relevant, or ending subscriptions, because that just eats at the bottom line." (07:23 | Kiley Peters)"Explore additional potential revenue streams. Maybe there's different partnerships or affiliate agreements. Who would be great referral partners for you and how can you incentivize them to send you new business?" (07:38 | Kiley Peters)"Take a look at leveraging technology to replace humans. Finding good help is not easy. So make sure you're utilizing the talent that you do have in the best way possible and consider tapping into technology, if it makes sense." (08:37 | Kiley Peters) "Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. It is not easy. There are a lot of hard decisions, a lot of hard decisions, but that's part of your job. That's part of your job is to make difficult decisions." (23:50 | Kiley Peters) "Be gentle with yourself, but also make sure that you make the decisions you need to make and you're not avoiding things because those oftentimes cost us significantly more."

In this week's episode, Chief Victory Officer, Eric Guy, is joined by Alex Pursglove, Business and Transformation Coach. They discuss the importance of focusing on trust, intuition, and self-judgment so you can experience more joy and fulfillment in life.Takeaways:- Our intuition is connected to our desires, creativity, and the things that help us expand. It's always guiding us toward our growth, expansion, and often out of our comfort zone.- Raise awareness for your thoughts and desires. Then identify the reasons WHY you aren't moving forward on those desires.- Recognize your desire and the fear that is talking you out of it.- Your inner critic is closely tied with imposter syndrome, because it's setting the pattern that you're not good enough.- Ask yourself: How often are you celebrating your wins? How often are you focusing on what you did well, instead of what you could have done better? How often are you responding to yourself with negativity and criticism when you make a mistake?- Meet awareness with aligned action. Take those steps, even when it's uncomfortable.- Let yourself feel and then express. Don't force the aligned action and then beat yourself up for how you feel about it.Quotes:- “Make our fear move over to the passenger seat.”- “Recognize your ‘but what if' spirals.”- “How often are you celebrating your wins?”- “How often are you focusing on what you did well, instead of what you could have done better?”- “How often are you responding to yourself with negativity and criticism when you made a mistake?”- “You can't feel alive when you're not living in the now.”

Damian's favorite business book is "Super Pumped" by Mike Isaac. It discusses everything that was involved in building a global business that is related to building Zoom2u—a really good story of a company that went from nothing to something massive Regarding professional development, Steve finds immense value in scaling up. He loves to listen to a good podcast run by Reid Hoffman who was the founder of LinkedIn, and interviews a number of really great people.

“You don't have to know everything, but you have to care,” says Jersey Banks, Co-Founder of Urban Cowboy, a full-service design studio specializing in commercial, residential, and immersive hospitality environments. Within six months of founding Urban Cowboy, with partner and designer Lyon Porter, in May of 2014, it exploded internationally and soon became a staple of Brooklyn culture. There are now locations in many of the country's most exciting hotspots, including Nashville, where friends and members of the creator industry gather to create unforgettable memories and feel inspired by experiential design. Key takeaways from today's conversation include: How word of mouth can grow your business. How to share your visual product and who to share it with. The importance of maintaining the human touch even as you scale. The influence of motherhood on running a business, especially in the hospitality industry. Brand extensions and how to create new revenue streams outside of your core product. Why you shouldn't define success too early. Quotes: • “Make sure you are operating in a space that you care about. You have to care. You don't have to know everything about it, but you have to care.” (42:36-42:48 | Jersey) • “Don't define success for yourself too early. Let it shape itself. When you're starting something, you don't know what it is going to be. It's a work in progress. It's going to build outward in multiple directions that you can't decide.” (43:07-43:23 | Jersey) • “In the boutique space, you can go up to 100 rooms or 150 rooms. And even if we open a property to that scale, it's still so important to us that people feel that level of intimacy and every location has a different feel. You have to get creative on how you give that experience.” (26:22-26:40 | Jersey) Connect with Jersey Banks: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/urbancowboyhotels Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/jerzbanks Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

In today's episode of the podcast, we're picking up from where we left off last week - talking about the key skills an agent needs to thrive in today's real estate landscape.    Previously, we talked about social media and digital marketing, and today we're going to conclude that, and then talk about database marketing strategies, and how to build a personality-driven, prospecting-based and marketing-enhanced lead generation strategy.    Jeff will share all the key pieces agents need to be focused on and optimize to get more business, and create a huge pipeline of business for years to come.    We also discussed; How much time we should dedicate to our social media marketing  The 4 databases every agent needs to have in 2022 + 1 bonus database we can leverage to add more deals  How to run a referral campaign to past clients    Quotes  Make a decision going forward to have a personality driven, prospecting-based and marketing-enhanced lead generation strategy. -Jeff Glover    Key Points  1. Google screened ads are now appearing ahead of PPC ads in the Google search, and by putting a bit of money behind these ads, you can generate some of the highest quality leads right now because you know that they are highly motivated to hire an agent.  2. The people in our databases are being bombarded by so many other options, and we should be concerned about the loyalty of the consumers in your database. We have to assume that we're going to lose people from our database, so whatever plan we put in place has to add new people while also retaining the people we can keep.   3. If you live in a market people frequently move to, it's worth considering building up your agent referral network. Instead of clamoring for referrals in Facebook groups, connect with agents in other markets and add value to them. Treat agent referrals like a marketing channel in its own right.

This week, I cannot wait to introduce you to Nika Kabiri, a decision science specialist who helps people get real, move forward, and minimize regret. She has spent over two decades studying how people make decisions in various contexts, from business to politics to relationships. She's also been featured in Fast Company, Yahoo News, and as a top 10 coach in LA Weekly. Nika contributes to media sources like The Hill, Huffington Post, and Inside Sources, and she's regularly featured on podcasts, radio, and TV.

As the founder and owner of Kabiri Consulting, Nika employs decision science principles to help businesses start, grow, and thrive. She has a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Washington, where her academic focus was on choice theory, institutional analysis, and decision making with constraint, and she also has a JD from the University of Texas. I'm telling you, this lady knows her stuff! Nika starts by talking about how she got to where she is today, not only professionally but personally as well, including dealing with depression in her 20s, her experience with therapy and pharmaceuticals, how she resolved to own her choices, and the first decisions she made after coming to this realization. She also discusses her struggle with decision-making as a child, her experience in law school and in the legal profession, the moment when she realized law was not for her, and offers some wisdom on what to do in today's environment with the overload of advice and information from social media and influencers. She explains what she teaches in Decision Science at the university, elaborates on her book Money off the Table: Decision Science and the Secret to Smarter Investing and touches on other books she has in the works. She ends by discussing how a poor decision impacts your next big decision, approaching bad decisions as experiments, and the most painful decision she had to make. A true leader in her field with a wealth of personal experience to draw upon as well, Nika Kabiri has so much valuable knowledge to share – don't miss this golden opportunity to soak up the wisdom she is offering us all here today. And, as always, if there is ever a topic you would like me to discuss, a guest you'd like me to interview on the podcast, or feedback you wish to offer, please feel free to contact me at pr@kellytravis.net - I would love to hear from you! The Finer Details of This Episode: Nika Kabiri's professional story through graduate school and early career Her personal story of dealing with depression and her experience with therapy Her resolve to make and own her own choices Decisions you make before you make your decisions Nika's decision to quit her meds and substitute them with rigorous exercise Dealing with insomnia The consequence of micro-decisions you make every day The importance of your physical health in decision making Nika's experience with law school and the legal profession Nika's struggle with decision-making as a child What to do with the overload of advice and information today from influencers and social media What decision science is all about Removing emotions as the sole factor that drives your choices Highlights from Money off the Table: Decision Science and the Secret to Smarter Investing, and another upcoming book The notion of anticipated regret and how a wrong decision impacts your next big decision Quotes "Make some choices, like, own your choices. Don't let the therapist make your choices for you. Don't let your psychiatrist make your choices for you. Don't let people around you do that for you. Let them inform your choices, but own your life." “To make really good decisions, you have to be well-rested, you have to eat well—you can't be hungry—you have to have very little stress. So there have to be these certain kinds of physiological, physical conditions that maximize your chances of not being impulsive, not taking risks, and all of that.” "It's like micro-decisions that you have every day that, if you make them the wrong way, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but you suddenly start to slide into this bad place." "Your physical health is so important in decision making so don't underestimate that." "Everything that is not going to work for you is more likely to happen when you are sleep-deprived, nutrition-deprived, exercise-deprived." "There's a terrible price you pay when you're not making your own choices, and you're doing what other people want you to do." "At some point, it was less about being a lawyer and having that career than it was proving to myself that I was not depressed, I wasn't going to slip, I wasn't going to have suicidal thoughts, and that I was going to actually be normal." "A lot of times what one person sees as regretful another person might not, and might just be your interpretation, it might be the way that your upbringing has taught you to interpret certain things." “A kind of particular type of being stuck is that we're afraid to make other choices because we have these bad decision outcomes from the past. But my hack on that is really just, you know, it's an experiment.” Show Links: Kelly's homepage - www.kellytravis.net  She Doesn't Settle – The Experience - https://www.kellytravis.net/sds Social: @kellythealth Nika Kabiri Website – https://www.yournextdecision.com/ Nika Kabiri Twitter – https://twitter.com/nikakabiri Nika Kabiri LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikakabiri/ Money off the Table: Decision Science and the Secret to Smarter Investing - https://www.amazon.com/Money-off-Table-Decision-Investing/dp/1544516908 How to Change a Misinformed Mind - https://www.yournextdecision.com/guides

Summary:Have you found your way into the living scriptures in your bible? You need someone to teach you to receive what the word is about.Show Notes:• Reading the bible is dry and does not make sense until a teacher comes that is anointed by God.• We are trying to break out, to make the word real for today.• He is a God of today. What did He do today? How can you share what God is doing today?References:II Corinthians 3:6“who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”II Kings 7:3-4“Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die? If we say, ‘We will enter the city,' then the famine is in the city and we will die there; but if we sit here, we will also die.”Hebrews 3:15a“While it is said, “Today if you hear His voice.”Quotes:• Make the word real for today so it actually means something in your everyday life.• Make it alive today because the scriptures reveal who Christ is, not necessarily who He was.Takeaway:There's an impartation that makes people in the scriptures come alive and makes the scriptures come alive to you.

The skill of leading a successful Coaching Gym is a keystone to being an effective coach and leader. As we find with most things we want to learn, building the structure around the skill will give it the most stability! With Coaching Gyms being only 15-20 minutes, it's important to figure out a proper structure so that there is enough time to get through everything needed for a successful gym.  In this podcast, Cate guides the Paths to Leadership team to troubleshoot how to run an efficient and effective Coaching Gym. Here Cate and the team build the structure for a coaching gym, then dissect and discuss each step within the structure. It's one thing to plot out this structure, and it's another to deeply understand what is needed during each step.  In the conversation with the Paths to Leadership team, real questions from real coaches with real experience are asked; For instance, while asking the member what their burning question is, what do we do if they just don't have one? What structure do we build within the structure to get them to figure out a burning question or goal to head towards? What you'll get out of tuning in: How to structure a Coaching Gym- the dos and don'ts The number one thing that doesn't work in coaching gyms How to ask clarifying questions Knowing the difference between clarifying questions and coaching Structures for effective storying telling How to give action steps toward goals Show Highlights: How to do a Coaching Gym what to do what not to do why structures work   Effective Speaking Liberating Structures for speech Giving action steps Timestamps: 1:15 - Laying out dos and don'ts of coaching gyms  6:36 - The number one thing that doesn't work in coaching gyms 9:06 - Asking open ended vs. closed ended questions. 11:36 - What to do when there is no burning question 20:37 - Asking clarifying questions 22:55 - Working with peak performers 31:02 - Storytelling 32:29 - Establishing action steps Quotes: Make structure work for the relationship. Structures seem awkward at first because they are different from casual conversation. Overwhelm comes from a lack of preparedness. The function of clarifying questions is diagnostic. Public acknowledgment goes a long way to action steps

Love.   Just what is it?   And why is it something that many people want to have or experience? Plenty of books and movies portray love as a romantic ideal; however, love is actually more complex than that. There are many aspects to this phenomenon—psychological and philosophical theories—but having all this knowledge doesn't automatically mean you will be able to find the right person for you and achieve “happily ever after”.   There is one more factor we need to consider: our own personal beliefs about what love is or isn't supposed to be. These stories we tell ourselves tend to influence our experiences which then leads to problems when it comes to forming relationships.   In this episode, in the first of a two-part session, I have taken a special outtake of my Clubhouse session on the neuroscience of love, relationships, and heartbreak. Hope you enjoy! Key Takeaways: Robert Sternberg's triangular theory of love and how the 3 components of love generate 8 possible kinds of love The 8 different types of love according to the ancient Greeks John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth's attachment theory On the self-limiting belief that one is either the victim or the villain of circumstance How the principle of scarcity is related to the saying “nice people finish last” On the problematic belief that a significant other is either property or an “other half” Quotes: “Make sure that you and your beloved are on the same page.” “Once you're aware of what kind of (attachment) style you have, it's then up to you to do what you can to start to work on that.” “Understanding more about yourself is a tool that allows you to be able to accept some aspects, but you can always improve.” “When it comes to love, we can be our own worst enemies in many ways.” “Love is something that you work on.” “You need to look at your love narrative. What are the kinds of beliefs that you have?” Resources: Robert J.

You're super busy between work life, home life and parenting life. There are always things to do and places to be, which leave you exhausted. In a fast paced society people are trained to not have meaningful downtime. Taking time for yourself can almost feel like punishment when you have so much on your plate. Any amount of time away from the kids can easily leave a parent with more guilt than relaxation. Tom and Lisa discuss why making time for yourself is critical and also how selfish, me-time can also include doing things you love with the person you love most as well. So whether it's watching your favorite show or playing a video game with your partner, the point is to enjoy your downtime, be recharged, and feel good about yourself.   Relationship Theory with Tom and Lisa Bilyeu encourages healthy, loving, life long relationships. Whether you are fresh out of your last relationship, on a break, taking time to heal from a breakup, or looking for ways to strengthen the romance and bond in your current relationship, Tom and Lisa are sharing their 20 years of experience. They're taking questions and giving relationship advice that will enhance all of your relationships.   SHOW NOTES: Make Time | Tom on being intentional about selfish time and making your time sacred [0:16] No Guilt | Lisa on not feeling guilty about taking selfish time and owning it [2:00] True Alone Time | Tom differentiates relationship time from true alone time [2:46] Shared Time | How Tom brought Lisa into his selfish time playing video games [3:54] Show You Care | Lisa breaks down how she brought enthusiasm to their shared time [7:11]   QUOTES: “Make sure that everything is going to be covered so that you can have that downtime.” Tom Bilyeu [1:11]   “Finding those things that that one person likes, that you're open and willing to try and then go in at full force, like don't just give it 50%, do it 100% because you know you're making that person happy, and once you open your mind to that there actually is opportunities to enjoy it.” Lisa Bilyeu [9:36]

Bill Keith is CEO and Co-Founder of Perfect Snacks.   You can say Bill Keith was a “born leader” as he is the eldest of 13 children, and they became known as the family that founded Perfect Bar.  Perfect Bar is the #1-Selling Refrigerated Protein Bar in the U.S. and is available in 27,000 retailers nationwide. Bill's quest to create Perfect Bar began in college, when he submitted a business plan for a class project, outlining his concept for a first-of-its-kind refrigerated protein bar made with whole food ingredients — a concept hatched from a childhood recipe, created by his father.  Over the next 13 years, Bill and his younger siblings worked tirelessly to turn the crowded, $6-billion protein bar industry upside down, leading consumers away from the highly-processed, non-perishable snack aisles, to the fresh and functional snack and beverage coolers where Perfect Snacks products continue to carve out desirable, high-velocity fridge real estate.

The “perfect” origin of the Perfect Bar, and how it saved his family. How growing up in a big family impacted his leadership. Bill's top 3 national parks. The advice that Bill gives to his mentees who are starting a business. A strategy to keep going despite the ‘No'. How to work through a “No” with a customer. Why you must listen and react in real time. Why they've gone the extra mile to hand roll the bar. The key inflection points of start-up to boot strapping to working with investors. How to deal with stress when “daring greatly”.   How a $100,000 investment led to $20MM per year. The trait he'd like to instill in every employee…vulnerability. Three success strategies for every employee. QUOTES: “Make sure you long from the sign post along the way that tells you that you're on the right path.” “If you have a product you'd like to test, go to your local farmer's market." “When I was starting out, Google was my ‘cheat sheet'.” “I want on my tombstone ‘He was a good listener'.” “Constantly perfect your own brand and craft.” “I would rather be a person who says what they know and don't know. Then share what you're doing to learn what you need to.” “Look at your actions and determine where you need to do better.” RESOURCES: The Acadia Coop in Northern California Brene Brown – Daring Greatly https://www.amazon.com/Daring-Greatly-Courage-Vulnerable-Transforms/dp/1592408419 College of Redwoods https://www.redwoods.edu/ Yosemite, Niagara, Lake Chelan  Jordan Rubin, Ancient Nutrition https://ancientnutrition.com/ Peter Burns, One Bar and Justin's Nut Butter https://www.cobizmag.com/how-peter-burns-helps-promising-food-companies-flourish/ Wayne Woo ------------------- https://www.benfanning.com/the-ceo-sessions/ (Apply to be on the show) ------------------- https://www.benfanning.com/the-ceo-sessions/ (Connect with Ben:) https://www.linkedin.com/in/benfanning/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/benfanning/) https://www.instagram.com/benfanning1/ (https://www.instagram.com/benfanning1/) https://twitter.com/BenFanning1 (https://twitter.com/BenFanning1)

In this episode: Intentionally looking at what your inaction is costing you Getting real with yourself in your “comfy-ness” The cost of not living up to your full potential Listening to the rumble in your gut & calling your shot Girl, I am so glad you are here today for this little pep talk!!! As you know, I like to picture us like we’re girlfriends chatting & today we are having some SPICY margaritas because this one is short & saucy. We’re talking about opportunity cost & we’re really going to dive into the fact that you not doing that thing that you wanna do, or choosing to stay stuck (because yes thats a choice!), or choosing to sit in analysis paralysis wondering if you should go do that thing… that is actually costing you, & often it’s a lot more than we even realize. We often spend so much time thinking about what could go wrong or what it will cost us to do that thing, whether its time or money or social risk. But the better question to ask is, what is it costing you to NOT do that thing? That’s the opportunity cost & I LOVE this topic, so I am really excited to dive into this with you! I hope you get something impactful from this today & of course let me know what you think!   Quotes: “Make a list of what you’re leaving on the table if you don’t do it… are you leaving income? Impact? Fulfillment? Joy? Happiness? Confidence? A community of people like a sense of belonging? Just getting pumped up about the one shot here you have on the planet?” “Are you also leaving on the table an opportunity to have someone that you love… that could see you showing up to your own life, making your life a freaking testimony of what it looks like to give up a good life & go for a great life.” “If I stayed where I was at, I wasn’t gonna be living up to my potential. & for me, there is no greater cost. I’m not scared of regret, I’m scared of not living up to my potential.” “What is your inaction costing you? That cost is not worth it.”   Resources: Hey girl, have you joined our email list yet?

Sally Bailey is a physical performance professional who has worked across the spectrum of athletic development from school-aged children to elite athletes in a range of individual and team sports. She is passionate about providing people with a real chance to engage with physical activity in the way they want to. Success comes in the form of happy faces striving to be their best.

Episode 32 might be our favorite episode yet because we had the joy of interviewing our husbands!!! Yes, we love spending time with them even if it’s while recording a podcast. We are so thankful that Taylor and Jonathan took the time to sit down and share their thoughts and their hearts with us and our listeners. We discuss ways that we can show them respect as well as what we can do in order that they continue to feel loved and desired even through the tough seasons of life We also address some things we might not always do so great and a few practical tips for a healthy and biblical marriage. You might even discover a couple of fun facts about our guys! We would love for you to listen in! It is our prayer that The Lord will use this conversation to encourage you and to inspire conversations with your spouse that will continue to strengthen and grow your marriage in Christ! Quotes: “Make it a priority to spend intentional time with each other.” “Respect and encourage each other to have individual hobbies and interests. Make time for them to have that time by themselves to refresh.” “Your kids are going to leave your house some day so live in preparation for that. Teach them and train them, but also invest in your relationship with your spouse.” “She’s lying if she says she doesn’t like gifts.” “Pour yourself out for your family and to your family.” “Serve each other 100% of the time and if you’re both doing that without expecting anything in return it’ll be a happy place.” “Our marriage should be a representation of who God is. God is Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, three distinct persons, but submitting to each other, somewhat dependent on each other, pointing to each other, but yet they are one.” “We have 5 daughters between our two families. The importance of showing them a Godly marriage is huge because we’re not only raising 5 girls, but 5 brides.” “When you get married you’re entering into a covenant for life. We things get tough we need to look at our spouse and say I’m not going anywhere!” *The beautiful music heard on today’s episode is by Katie Cobbs*

With new technology always emerging, and more and more content constantly being published, we content creators have to stay on top of the shifting and evolving media landscape. It’s important for us to be willing and able to take risks and innovate, and tell compelling and interesting stories with what we’re putting out into the world. DJ Hurula is the founder of ONE Brand Studio, a multidiscipline creative branding agency that serves cause-driven organizations. He’s very passionate about helping businesses clarify their message and audience in order to lay the strongest foundation for powerful content creation later. Today we reflect on what 2017 taught us as content creators, as well as where content is headed in 2018. We talk about what it takes for content to be compelling, and DJ breaks it down to 4 elements. We also talk about the role of trust in our client-relationships, and how foundational that is to be able to take risks with your content. What do you see on the horizons for content creation in 2018? What takeaways do you have from 2017? Let us know in the comments on the episode page!   In this episode: DJ’s takeaways from 2017 and reflections on the amount of content out there What’s important for content creation in 2018 The 4 things that make content compelling How to build trust with your clients to allow you to take risks on creative projects   Quotes: Make it compelling, it’s not enough to just make stuff anymore. We really need to make stuff that moves people. (15:07) The ability to take risks ultimately comes from a place of trust. (23:02) A way to self-assess where you’re at on the [trust] continuum… is how early you’re brought in. The earlier you’re brought in, the higher degree of trust.

How often do you feel like you are overworked and underpaid? I'm sorry to say this, but you only have yourself to blame. Today on the podcast, Matt and I (Ryan) are opening up about the struggles we've faced in our businesses, both early on and more recently, and how we overcame them. We cover a lot of the info you probably never though about when you got into business in the first place including hiring, firing, pricing, and the fine art of setting boundaries for yourself. We also talk about the insane importance of allowing yourself time to recharge and that working 80 hours a week isn’t impressive, it’s stupid. And, how you are setting yourself up for failure if you don’t carve out time to work on your business and not just in your business. As we discuss, there are always new challenges to tackle at every stage of your business, but with this episode we're hoping we can help you avoid some of the pitfalls that held us back early, and give you a look into the future of a growing film business so you can plan ahead! Have you been struggling with how to grow your business past a one-person band? What have you tried to help you scale it? What worked and what didn’t work? Let us know in the comments below!   In this episode: Some of the things that stunted us early on and kept us from growing our businesses? How do you raise your prices without you losing all your clients? The necessity of having an end goal in sight when you first start out. The reason that 96% of creative businesses fail.   Quotes: “Make some boundaries, make some rules for yourself, know when you are turning off and turning on. Get some recharge time with your family and friends. Get some sleep.” (29:04) “But having that end in sight and really saying in a year from now how can this business look different so that I am working a little less inside my business and a little more on my business, so that I am not pulling my hair out.” (27:48) “We knew the clients that we wanted, we knew what we were worth and we attracted those people.” (37:16)   *** For even more insight into how we grew our businesses and price what we know we're worth, make sure to check out our free ebook, 7 Habits To Consistently Book 5-Figure Corporate Video Jobs ***   Links: Check out Studio Sherpas online Follow Studio Sherpas on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook    Email Matt & Ryan Hey@StudioSherpas.com Podcast Interview with Colleen Bezich  Evernote Expensify Gusto The E-Myth Revisited (Book) Necessary Endings (Book) The Four Hour Work Week (Book)
