The Money Mindset Shift Every Woman Entrepreneur Needs There are more men named John running Fortune 500 companies than there are women. Total. Let that sink in for a second. That's just one of the things Vivian Tu, aka Your Rich BFF, dropped in this episode that made me go, wait, what? She went from being told she was "too girly for Wall Street" to becoming one of the most trusted voices in personal finance. And the way she breaks down money will make you rethink everything you thought you knew. We get into why women who are crushing it in business still let their money sit in a savings account earning 0.39%, the simple equation that tells you whether something is actually worth buying, why women fight over 2% of the pie when there's 98% sitting right there, and how to stop working around the clock and let your money do the work instead. Vivian also gets real about running her business at a sprint pace for years and what she's doing to finally build something sustainable. This is the money conversation I wish I had ten years ago.

Your dry cleaning bill should not be on your business credit card. This protects you and sets you up to scale. 2️⃣ Stop Letting Your Money Sit in a Savings Account – A regular savings account earns you almost nothing. Once you have your emergency fund set, your money should be working for you through investments. Your labor earns you capital. Your capital makes you rich. 3️⃣ Value Purchases in Time, Not Dollars – Before you buy something, divide the cost by your hourly take-home pay. That $100 pair of yoga pants might cost you five hours of work. Is it worth it? This simple equation helps you spend strategically and without guilt.

If you're generating strong revenue but still feel one bad month away from panic, the issue isn't how much money you're making - it's the absence of a revenue system.   Revenue is an outcome, not an asset, and when a business lacks infrastructure, the founder becomes the system, absorbing all the volatility, pressure, and risk. This week, Eleanor explains why chasing sales without building structure leads to fragility, no matter how impressive the topline numbers look.   Tune in as Eleanor breaks down the four-part revenue system every business needs before it can reliably scale past $500K, $1M, and into the $2M+ range without burnout. She walks you through the non-negotiable cash cow that funds growth, the bulletproof go-to-market motion that survives platform and algorithm changes, pricing designed to support expansion rather than constrain it, and the balanced business model that creates durability, optionality, and long-term value.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO86   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en

Revenue doesn't grow by accident — it grows by intention. In this clip from The Abundance Mindset, Vinney Chopra breaks down why his businesses succeed where others stall. After building and operating over 30 businesses across real estate and hospitality, Vinney explains that success comes from treating assets like businesses — not trophies. Gualter Amarelo highlights how small revenue levers, when executed consistently, compound into massive results. From charging for underused parking to pricing based on experience, the lesson is simple: if you don't design revenue, you don't get it. And culture plays a major role — because how your team communicates value matters just as much as what you charge.

If you want to sell more art, you may need to hire freelancers before you feel ready. Trying to do everything yourself might feel responsible, but it's often the fastest way to burn out and stall your sales. Hiring doesn't have to be a full-time team or a huge commitment. Strategic, part-time help frees you up to make the art and respond to buyers consistently.  Jodie shares how to identify where you're getting bogged down, how to track your time, what tasks to outsource first, and how to set expectations so the freelancer you hire actually helps your sales grow. You'll take away: Why "doing it all" makes you the bottleneck How to fire freelancers without blowing your budget What to outsource first to increase time, sales, and sanity  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

Revenue can be growing while the company is quietly losing value. Margins thin. Cash tightens. And the math behind your valuation shifts — without triggering alarms. This is what happens when sales, operations, and finance aren't economically aligned. Deals close, work gets done, and revenue posts — but EBITDA erodes in small, compounding ways that don't show up until optionality disappears. This conversation exposes where value actually leaks inside growing companies, why “healthy” revenue often hides financial risk, and how CEOs end up scaling complexity instead of enterprise value — right up until the cost becomes unavoidable.

The NFL salary cap is set to clear $301 million. That surge changes the Detroit Lions math. Default figures still place the Lions a few million over, as with the rest of the NFC North, but routine moves and rollover can flip the ledger fast. The Detroit Lions Podcast drills into who and what unlocks space, and how it shapes spring decisions. Cap Surge Reshapes Detroit's Options League guidance pegs the 2026 cap north of $301 million, with projections ranging from about $301.2 million to $305.7 million. Five seasons ago it sat near $208 million. Revenue is up. So are choices. On default calculations, the Lions sit roughly $7.65 million over. There is a straightforward release or restructure lever at guard. Moving on from Graham Glasgow would free about $5.56 million. If he returns, it should be in a supporting role, not at a starter's rate. Restructure pathways also exist, including converting portions of Jared Goff's money into guarantees to smooth the hit. The menu is familiar. The new cap ceiling makes each option more palatable. David Montgomery remains a core piece. The expectation here is that he stays. The bigger picture is flexibility. Detroit can clear room without gutting its identity. Roster Decisions: Glasgow, Anzalone, Raymond The higher cap improves odds for continuity on defense. Bringing back linebacker Alex Anzalone is more feasible now. He handled the defensive calls, played well last season, and stayed on the field. Keeping the ringleader in the middle adds stability as the Lions push for more in the NFL postseason. Kalif Raymond is a pending free agent. He has been the No. 4 wide receiver and a trusted returner. Detroit drafted Dominic Lovett as a projected successor, but Lovett did not see the field on offense. If Raymond is open to returning as a primary return specialist, that path aligns with an offense that leans into two wide receivers and two tight ends. Glasgow remains the cleanest cap lever. If not released, a pay cut or restructure fits. Either way, the cap jump gives Detroit Lions decision-makers a buffer to keep preferred pieces together. QB2 and Coaching Notes The cap rise also eases a practical question at quarterback. Retaining Kyle Allen as the backup in the $3 million range makes sense. He was solid last summer and looked better than his prior tape suggested. Coaching movement around the NFL has settled at the top, but Detroit still needs a tight ends coach. Dan Skipper is a sensible in-house option. He logged more than 400 snaps as an extra offensive lineman in heavy packages and knows the operation. He could also slot as an offensive assistant if that's the better fit. There is talk out of Chicago that JT Barrett could become offensive coordinator under Ben Johnson. Chicago moved on from its OC and is surveying options. For the Lions, the immediate task is simple. Leverage the cap windfall, lock in key voices, and keep the program's rhythm intact. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #detroitlionssalarycap #nflcap301million #grahamglasgowsalary #zionyoung #danskipper #jtbarrett #tannerengstrand Learn more about your ad choices.

What if your biggest sales breakthrough began the moment you stopped trying to sell? In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Vivian Weyll, The Sales Queen™, who shares how she went from $500,000 in debt to leading a nine-figure holding company. She created Influence OS, a science-based framework that scales revenue through presence, neuroscience, and ethical influence rather than pressure, and today owns one of the largest insurance IMOs in the country. In this conversation, Vivian unpacks the identity shifts, practical methods, and environment design that transform average producers into trusted advisors. Key Takeaways:→ How presence outperforms pressure in every conversation. → How to use the Presence Protocol to structure the first six minutes of any pitch to earn trust, defuse objections, and establish authority. → Why you should listen, reframe, and allow buyers to reach their own conclusions. → Why salespeople should handle common objections early, then guide them with questions and purposeful silence. → How surrounding yourself with top performers upgrades your own results. Vivian Weyll is an internationally recognized speaker, visionary CEO, and founder of The InfluenceOS™ framework. Known worldwide as The Sales Queen™, her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and the transformative power of high-ticket sales. Born in Brazil, Vivian came to the U.S. at 20 and faced early hardships including a failed business, painful divorce, and over $500,000 in debt. With no corporate background or formal training, she turned to sales — becoming a top producer in her first month and earning six figures monthly within six months. In just five years, she scaled from first-time salesperson to building and leading multiple 8-figure companies worth over $100 million. Through her programs, including the CROWN™ Million Dollar Masterclass, Vivian has trained thousands of entrepreneurs and coached leaders to 7- and 8-figure success, cementing her role as a global authority on influence and ethical sales.

"There is a limit on how much you can save, but there is no limit on how much you can make." - Sergio Martin Procurement is evolving fast. The true differentiator now is how the function can become a partner for growth and resilience. That means reimagining "customer experience" at every touchpoint, not just inside the business, but with suppliers as well. In this episode, procurement advisor and former procurement and supply chain executive Sergio Martin explains what it takes to deliver that value. Sergio shares practical stories from his experience at companies like Burberry and Dyson, explores what it means to move beyond "cost control," and reveals why empathy, expertise, and credibility are non-negotiable. In this episode, Sergio discusses: Defining the idea of a "customer" for stakeholders and suppliers Shifting procurement's mindset from savings to growth Building credibility through continuous expertise Becoming the customer of choice for innovation and resilience Links: Sergio Martin on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube  

Being busy can feel responsible and productive, but if you've ever found yourself working all the time and still wondering why the money doesn't reflect the effort you're putting in, you are in good company. In this episode, I'm talking about why busy is not a revenue strategy, how easy it is to get pulled into work that feels productive but doesn't actually bring in income, and how to think about the different hats you wear in business, especially when you're building something new, and nothing feels certain yet. https://milmo.co/podcast/busy-is-not-a-revenue-strategy   For more MILMO, follow at: MILMO.co ItsMILMO on YouTube @itsmilmo on X @itsmilmo Instagram @itsmilmo LinkedIn @itsmilmo Facebook

Kelley shares insights from her extensive executive leadership experience, including how strong sales and marketing alignment, intentional planning, and people-first leadership create sustainable growth.The conversation highlights the evolving buyer journey, the importance of meaningful customer interactions, and how AI and technology are reshaping sales workflows. Kelley offers practical guidance for sales leaders and professionals on maximizing effectiveness, improving qualification discipline, protecting time, and building trust-centered sales cultures that consistently perform.KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthentic, agenda-free selling builds stronger long-term trust with buyers.Revenue growth starts with people—empowered, aligned sellers drive results.Sales and marketing alignment must be demonstrated through shared action, not just words.Time is a seller's most limited asset and must be protected intentionally.Today's buyers are largely through their journey before engaging sellers—value must show up fast.Strong qualification and disqualification discipline improves win rates and efficiency.AI and technology should support effectiveness, not replace authentic human connection.Culture carriers often outperform quota chasers over the long term.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESSelling from the heart really comes down to leading with authenticity and not an agenda. It's about showing up as a human being first.The best sellers I've come across in my career weren't just quota crushers, but they were actually culture carriers.Your people at the end of the day are the ones who drive your results. I may be a chief revenue officer, but I'm not the one driving revenue.Taking the call is the worst thing you can do. You are wasting that person's time. The best thing you can do is let a seller know if it's not the right time.

How do you scale fast without letting the business consume your life? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Josh Davis—a 5x founder, turnaround expert, and one of Canada's Top 40 Under 40—who built one of the country's fastest-growing logistics companies and sold it to a major North American transportation firm just three years after launch.Josh gets real about the tradeoffs of rapid growth. Early on, “revenue will solve most problems” was the mantra—but he also shares what he'd do differently to avoid becoming the bottleneck, protect family time, and build teams that decide and act without him. He explains why exit planning isn't just “sell the company,” how to think about life after a deal (“the PE email shuts off—and then what?”), And why true success is a business that serves your life.You'll learn:-How to scale underperforming companies with clarity and operational excellence-Practical ways to get out of the weeds and stop being the bottleneck-Preparing for exit while keeping options open (you don't have to sell to “exit”)-People-first leadership that drives performance and cultureIf you're growing, turning around, or prepping a company for exit, this is a playbook you can actually use.More About Josh:Josh Davis is a 5x founder, business acquirer, and turnaround expert with multiple exits—including to a U.S. private equity–backed firm. Known for scaling underperforming companies fast, Josh blends grit, faith, and operational excellence to help founders grow with clarity and purpose. As Co-Founder and CEO, he built one of Canada's fastest-growing logistics startups—scaling it from the ground up before it was acquired by one of North America's largest transportation companies just three years after launch. Today, he runs JL Davis Enterprises alongside his wife Loretta, acquiring businesses and consulting founders on how to scale, build high-performance teams, and prepare for exit. Grounded in faith and family values, Josh brings a no-fluff, people-first approach to business. He's been named one of Canada's Top 40 Under 40—and believes true success means building a business that serves your life, not the other way around.#10xyourteam #BusinessScaling #FounderLife #LeadershipDevelopment #ExitPlanning #PeopleFirstLeadership #OperationalExcellence #BuildToSell #EntrepreneurMindset #WorkLifeIntegration #HighPerformanceTeamsChapter Times and Titles:[00:00] From Grit to Growth: Josh's 3‑Year Scale-to-Acquisition StoryCanada logistics startup journey: faith, family, and early tradeoffs[05:30] Revenue Solves Problems… Until It Doesn'tThe early “just sell more” mindset and where it breaks[12:10] Stop Being the BottleneckGetting out of the weeds; empowering decisions; building operators[19:45] Balancing Life and ScaleWhat Josh would do differently to protect the family without slowing growth[28:20] Turnarounds with a People-First LensScaling underperformers fast; culture and high-performance teams[36:05] Rethinking “Exit.”Why exit ≠ sell; buying back time, optionality, and freedom[41:30] After the Deal: Now What?The day the PE email turns off, planning your next chapter on purpose[49:15] Preparing to Be Bought, Not SoldClarity, metrics, and systems buyers actually value[56:30] Final Lessons and How to ConnectPurpose-driven leadership: building a business that serves your lifeConnect with Josh Davis here:https://www.instagram.com/scalingwithjoshdavis/https://www.linkedin.com/in/scaling-with-josh-davis/https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7336101101240229891/https://talentharbourgroup.com/     https://jldavisenterprises.com/

If your revenue is growing but your profit isn't, your business isn't scaling—it's sinking. In this episode, I break down why “growth at all costs” is one of the most dangerous mindsets for business owners and how I learned that lesson the hard way while scaling a high-volume real estate company.I walk through why revenue alone doesn't create freedom, how hiring, systems, and expansion can quietly kill your margins, and what it actually takes to grow profitably. We talk about building profit into the business from the start, using systems like Profit First, and why focusing on what you keep—not just what you make—is the only way to scale without burning out or going broke.Timeline Highlights:[0:00] Why growing revenue without profit is a losing strategy[0:47] Scaling deal volume fast—and why the bottom line never showed up[1:27] The difference between making money and building a real business[2:07] Why “I want to scale” usually means “I want more freedom”[2:56] How hiring and growth can quietly destroy profit margins[3:36] Why higher revenue doesn't automatically mean higher profit[3:58] What actually protects your bottom line as you scale[4:23] Why Profit First forces profitability into your business[5:38] Why bookkeepers and CPAs don't protect margins[6:10] Using systems and accountability to scale profitably[7:54] Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, and cash is king[9:24] Why intentional cash allocation is required to grow[10:05] The real reason business owners feel broke as they scaleKey TakeawaysRevenue growth without profit is not real scaling.Freedom comes from what you keep, not what you make.Hiring and expansion must be planned around profitability.Profit must be designed into the business—not hoped for later.Systems like Profit First force discipline as revenue grows.Scaling profitably requires focus, structure, and accountability.Without intentional cash allocation, growth will control you.Links & ResourcesBook a free discovery call and get help scaling profitably: profitrei.comClosing:Thanks for spending time with me today.

The stakes feel real this week: a single bill could upend New Mexico's budget, another could collide with the Constitution, and chaotic protest optics are reshaping national narratives. We start with SB 18, a sweeping net‑zero mandate that a rare, blunt fiscal report says could slash state revenues, inflate energy costs, and massively expand bureaucracy. In a state where oil and gas fund education, Medicaid, and capital projects, that warning lands hard. If climate progress is the aim, we argue for nuclear at scale rather than policies that bankrupt the very services families rely on.Then we shift to SB 17, a gun bill that targets commonly owned firearms and standard magazines. Beyond the headlines, the legal map is clear: higher courts have repeatedly rejected bans on arms in common lawful use. We focus on what actually lowers violence—detaining repeat offenders, sentencing enhancements for gun crimes, and closing the gap between rhetoric and results—so public safety improves without trampling rights.From there, the lens widens to Minnesota's protests and new video showing the man later shot by ICE spitting on an officer and carrying a gun at a protest, a violation of state law. Enforcement earlier might have prevented tragedy later, but the visuals still hurt. That's why transparent ICE messaging about targets—violent offenders, not families—matters for public trust. We also push back on a Hollywood call for a “general strike,” which ignores paycheck‑to‑paycheck realities, and we address the odd assault on Rep. Ilhan Omar with apple cider vinegar: prosecute it fully to stop escalation. Closing on the economy, we look at tax season, refunds, and whether real wages can finally outrun prices, plus a parent-tested ask—extend the child tax credit through age 18.If you value policy over posturing and want clear takeaways on energy, rights, crime, and affordability, this one's for you.

The start of Thursday's session took a sharp downswing as Microsoft (MSFT) drags down Big Tech following the first round of Mag 7 earnings. Kevin Green talks about the divergence between Microsoft and Meta Platforms (META), along with the role "light revenue" plays in the downturn. One place he's not seeing cracks: the jobs market, as he takes investors through the latest jobless claims print. KG later turns to the commodity space in crude oil's rally. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Dr. Sean Lordan built Concierge Physical Therapy into a multi-location operation in Massachusetts with a hybrid insurance and cash-pay model.But before the growth came, there was a breaking point. Revenue was climbing. Stress was higher. And Sean found himself trapped by the company he created, putting out fires, protecting people from consequences, and confusing being needed with being effective.In this episode, Sean shares the hard identity shift that changed everything: he stopped trying to be the best problem-solve in the room and started becoming the best leader-builder.We dig into exactly how he restructured his marketing across multiple locations, the real numbers behind his patient acquisition, and why he believes most clinic owners confuse working harder with working smarter.If you're stuck in the day-to-day chaos of running your clinic and wondering how to build something that grows without burning you out, this one's for you.What You'll Learn:1) The warning signs that your business has outgrown you (and what to do about it)2) How to transition from clinician to CEO without losing your clinical credibility3) The hybrid model breakdown: marketing insurance patients vs. cash-pay patients4) How to build leadership pipelines so your clinics run without youEarnings Disclaimer:The results discussed in this episode are not typical. Dr. Sean Lordan's success is the product of years of hard work, strategic decision-making, and circumstances unique to his situation. We make no guarantees that you will achieve similar results.

Apple delivered record quarterly sales and a better-than-anticipated forecast for the current period, even as the company warned that rising component costs are threatening to squeeze margins.Revenue will rise 13% to 16% in the second quarter, which runs through March, the company said Thursday during a conference call with analysts. That exceeded the 10% projected by Wall Street — showing that Apple can maintain momentum after an iPhone-fueled sales surge in the December quarter.For instant reaction and analysis, Bloomberg Businessweek Daily cohosts Carol and Tim speak with: Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Global Consumer Tech Mark Gurman Bloomberg Tech Co-Host Ed Ludlow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Alex Theuma and Mark Walker, CEO of Nue, discuss how AI is accelerating the pace of change in SaaS and the knock-on effect this is having on pricing and monetisation. Mark explains how Nue has become a critical part of the infrastructure powering many of the world's fastest-growing AI-native and scaled SaaS companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Jasper. Drawing on learnings from these companies, he unpacks how usage-based models, committed spend contracts, and rapid product experimentation are replacing traditional SaaS playbooks. Alex and Mark also reflect on life as an entrepreneur, scaling teams, managing stress, and the need to embrace constant change. - Why AI has disrupted product development cycles and changed how SaaS companies create value. - How faster product iteration is forcing new pricing and monetisation models. - The rise of committed spend, consumption-based contracts and experimentation at scale. - Why you should build revenue systems for the company you want to become, not the one you are today. - How AI-native startups and scaled SaaS companies are converging on the same challenges. - Why speed across product, systems and execution is now the ultimate competitive advantage.       Check out the other ways SaaStock is helping SaaS founders move their business forward: 

TPPF Chief Communications Officer Brian Phillips and Chief Policy & Research Officer Derek Cohen sit down with veteran college sports expert Michael Calabrese (New York Post, Action Network) to unpack the unprecedented mess in college athletics in 2026.NIL deals are unraveling, schools are suing players to enforce multi-year contracts (see the explosive Darian Mensah-Duke-Miami saga), the House v.

Michael Bernstam reports that the Russian government is effectively replacing lost oil revenue with income from gold sales to cover its budget deficits. After accumulating significant reserves in its sovereign wealth fund, Russia is now selling hundreds of metric tons of gold at high prices, allowing the state to earn as much from actual gold as it previously did from "black gold" (oil) despite the ongoing war and economic shifts.

UNH and Health Stocks - DOWN 20% today - The administration's proposal (via the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS) for Medicare Advantage reimbursement rates to rise by only 0.09% in 2027. This was far below Wall Street expectations of 4-6% (or higher), following a more generous ~5% increase for 2026. - The near-flat rate aims to improve payment accuracy, curb overbilling practices, and protect taxpayers, according to CMS statements, but it sparked widespread concerns about squeezed insurer margins, potential benefit cuts for seniors, reduced plan offerings, or market exits. - UnitedHealth has significant exposure to Medicare Advantage (roughly 30% of national enrollment), making it particularly vulnerable. The proposal, announced late Monday (January 26), led to a broader sell-off in health insurers: - - Humana (HUM) plunged over 20-21%. - - CVS Health (CVS) and Elevance Health (ELV) each dropped around 13-14%. Tech Earnings Microsoft (MSFT) Reports: Wednesday, January 28 (After Market Close) - Wall Street Expectations:  Earnings per share (EPS): about $3.86 and Revenue: about $80 billion - Growth: high teens year over year revenue growth - Investors are focused on Azure and broader cloud growth, particularly how much of that growth is coming from AI related demand. Microsoft has built a reputation for consistent execution, which also means expectations are high. The critical issues will be cloud growth sustainability, margin stability, and how aggressively management plans to keep spending on AI infrastructure. Meta Platforms (META) Reports: Wednesday, January 28 (After Market Close) - Wall Street Expectations:  EPS: about $8.15–$8.20 and Revenue: about $58–$59 billion - Growth: roughly 20–21% year over year revenue growth - Advertising remains the core driver, with AI driven ad targeting continuing to improve returns for advertisers. While topline growth expectations remain strong, investors are closely watching expense growth. The biggest question is whether rising AI and infrastructure spending can be managed without eroding margins or spooking investors, as Meta works through the next phase of its AI strategy. Tesla (TSLA) Reports: Wednesday, January 28 (After Market Close) - Wall Street Expectations:  EPS (non GAAP): about $0.40–$0.45 and Revenue: about $24.5–$25 billion - Trend: earnings expected to be sharply lower than a year ago - Tesla enters earnings with the weakest expectations among the major tech names this week. Vehicle deliveries declined year over year, and automotive margins remain under pressure. While the energy and services segments continue to grow, they are not yet large enough to offset slowing EV demand. - Investors will be far more focused on forward guidance than on the quarter itself—particularly updates on Full Self Driving, robotaxis, and the broader AI roadmap. Apple (AAPL) Reports: Thursday, January 29 (After Market Close) Wall Street Expectations -  EPS: about $2.65–$2.67 and Revenue: about $138 billion Growth: approximately 11–12% year over year revenue growth - This is Apple's most important quarter of the year. Expectations call for record revenue driven by the iPhone 17 cycle and continued Services growth. The focus will be on margins, China demand, and forward guidance—particularly how higher costs (memory prices and tariffs) may impact profitability. Apple typically beats expectations, but the stock reaction will hinge on what management says about growth beyond this quarter. Company Ticker Report Date Est.

The Visibility Shift That Can Fast-Track Your Business Growth I've said it for years: I don't like recording video.And yet… I'm officially going all in on YouTube. After looking at our analytics, I saw a discoverability gap I couldn't ignore. Podcasting still nurtures beautifully, but it's no longer the growth engine it once was. And if the people who need your message can't find you, none of it matters. In this episode, I'm breaking down why I'm betting big on YouTube in 2026, what finally changed my mind, and how you can build visibility without overcomplicating your content or burning yourself out. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Discoverability Is the New Growth Strategy – Podcasting is incredible for nurturing your audience, but it's no longer the growth engine it once was. YouTube is a search engine, which means your content can be discovered long after you hit publish, helping you reach the people actively looking for solutions. 2️⃣ Your Comfort Zone Can't Be Your Strategy – Personal preference shouldn't limit your impact. When you're clear on your goals, you can make strategic decisions even when they stretch you. Growth often requires doing things you don't love so you can build the business you truly want. 3️⃣ Simplicity Is the Secret to Consistency on Video – You don't need fancy equipment or a perfect setup to start. A simple, repeatable process removes decision fatigue and helps you show up consistently. Consistency, not production value, is what builds momentum on YouTube. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Riverside Opus Clip You've built something real. Revenue, audience, offers that work. But the results still don't match what you know you're capable of.

California doesn't “generate revenue”—it drains it. Taxes aren't income, businesses create income, and Sacramento chased them out, argues Elaine Culotti, Daily Signal California commentator, on her podcast today:  “The state itself does not create any revenue. The state builds nothing. The state earns nothing. The state is money out. It is capital outflow to pay for the state to survive. To pay for the infrastructure that it owes.”

Here’s a question that’ll change how you think about this profession forever: What’s the one moment that reveals you’re built for sales success? For most people, that moment never comes. They stumble into sales, struggle with the stereotypes, and either quit or spend their entire career fighting against what they think selling is supposed to be. But for those of us who get it, there’s a moment of clarity so powerful it changes everything. Mine happened in high school when I was chasing a girl and ended up on the yearbook staff. Thirty days later, I handed over $3,800 in checks while everyone else struggled to hit their $300 quota. The Sales Crack Moment When Mr. Hall at Hall’s Hardware Store wrote me that first check for a yearbook ad after I had done little more than ask outright for the money, something clicked. This wasn’t complicated. Walk in, shake hands, present value, and people give you money. While my classmates were paralyzed by the same stereotypes you hear today (“I’m not a salesperson”), I was out there having conversations. That’s all prospecting really is. Talking to people. The gasp in that room when I revealed my numbers? That was better than the money. That was the competitive fire igniting. That was me realizing I could outwork, outsell, and out-earn anyone if I just committed to the process. The Discipline Problem Most Sellers Miss Here’s what nobody tells you about sales success: It’s not about talent. It’s not about charisma. It’s about ruthless execution of proven processes. By the time I was 21 or 22, I was making $300,000 in the early nineties. That’s equivalent to making close to a million today. Not because I was special, but because I understood something fundamental that most people never figure out: The more people you talk with, the more you sell. And here’s the beautiful part. There are lots of people to go talk with. The pipeline never runs dry if you’re willing to fill it. The Three Non-Negotiables for Modern Sellers The future of selling is blending. Not choosing between video and phone and in-person. Blending all of them based on one critical question: What communication channel gives me the highest probability of capturing my desired outcome at the lowest cost of time, energy, and money? When I started selling, we had two channels. Maybe three if you count snail mail. Phone and in-person. That’s it. Today? You’ve got a dozen ways to connect. WhatsApp lets you text, call, and video chat almost instantly. The options are endless. But here’s where Gen Z sellers (and honestly, every generation) screw this up: They get single-siloed. “I’m only good at email.” “I only do video calls.” “I hate the phone.” That mindset is killing your income potential. You need to be good at everything. Master every channel. Because the channel doesn’t matter. The outcome does. Synchronous Beats Asynchronous Every Single Time Here’s the second non-negotiable to sales success: Stop hiding behind asynchronous communication. We do deals in a synchronous world. Real-time conversations. Phone calls. Video meetings. Face-to-face interactions. If you think you can close business through email threads and text messages, you’re delusional. Why? Because robots can write better emails than you can. AI can craft more persuasive text messages. But sales is the ultimate human career in the age of AI precisely because of the human connection required in synchronous conversations. Lead with phone calls. Get face-to-face when the deal size justifies it. Use video when it makes sense. But always, always prioritize real-time conversations over digital hide-and-seek. Ask Questions and Actually Listen The third non-negotiable is mastering the art of asking great questions and listening to the answers. People make five decisions before they buy from you: Do I like you? Do you listen to me? Do you make me feel important? Do you get me and my problems? Do I trust and believe you? Notice what’s not on that list? Your product features. Your company’s awards. Your clever sales pitch. They’re evaluating you. Your ability to connect. Your capacity to understand. Your commitment to making them feel important. And the only way to get five affirmative answers to those questions is through synchronous conversations where you ask intelligent questions and actually listen to what they’re telling you. The Make It Rain Principle When Mr. Rouse made me editor of the yearbook after I brought in $3,800, I learned something that shaped my entire career: When you can make it rain, you can get anything you want. That principle holds true whether you’re selling yearbook ads in high school or enterprise software to Fortune 500 companies. Revenue solves problems. Performance opens doors. Results create opportunities. Most people in sales stumble into it. They take the job because it was available. They stick with it because the money’s decent. But they never commit to mastering the craft. The question isn’t whether sales chooses you. The question is whether you choose sales. Whether you commit to being good at every communication channel. Whether you prioritize synchronous conversations over digital convenience. Whether you master the art of asking questions and listening. Those fundamentals never change. The technology evolves. The channels multiply. But the core truth remains: Talk to more people, in real time, with genuine curiosity about their problems, and you’ll make more money than you ever thought possible. That’s how you achieve sales success. That’s how you go from yearbook ads to seven figures. That’s how you make it rain.

You can be running a successful business and still feel exposed. Revenue is coming in, clients are smart, demand is real, and yet, cash flow feels tighter than it should, decisions feel heavier than expected, and the business itself feels fragile.   In this conversation, Eleanor is joined by Julia Taylor, CEO and founder of GeekPack, a company that operates at the intersection of entrepreneurship and institutions. This episode names a reality many women business owners experience but rarely have language for: sometimes the problem isn't how well you're working, it's where your business is getting its stability from.   Tune in this week as Eleanor and Julia take a strategic look at what business stability really requires and why it so often gets misunderstood in women-led companies. Julia shares how she built a revenue architecture that separates value creation from stability by partnering with large organizations, securing grants, and designing systems that can actually carry growth. Together, they explore why so many women are taught to absorb risk personally, and what changes when stability is designed structurally instead.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO85   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en   Check out GeekPack: https://geekpack.com/
