When it comes to list building, give yourself some grace, give yourself some time and give yourself permission to test things out.A lot of times we compare ourselves to other people, we see them with big vanity metrics, and we start getting into our own heads thinking we need that too. But here's the thing, it's better to have quality people on our list, to begin with than a big, huge number of unqualified people.We really need to take the time to tune in our messaging, tune in our offers, and make sure we're in front of the right people, because if we get a big vanity metric and attract all the wrong people into our world, what good is it anyway?Give yourself the time and space to build the right foundation.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

“Usually, people are not trying to kill you or keep you alive for nefarious reasons, unless you're very old and very rich and very mean.” -Patricia De Fonte When most people think of estate planning, they imagine dividing assets among children or a spouse—but Patricia De Fonte, founder of De Fonte Law, offers a broader and deeper perspective. Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with Patricia to explore what “estate planning with heart” really means, especially for those without children or partners. People often name child-free individuals as caretakers without their consent, adding invisible burdens. To anybody in this situation, Patricia urges taking ownership: ask questions, know what's expected, and ensure fair compensation. Far from dry legal jargon, Patricia's approach to estate planning is a refreshing blending of emotional realism with practical wisdom. The stories she shares—from hospital disputes to posthumous family rifts—tell us just how crucial it is to name the right people, update our documents, and make our values explicit. She encourages everyone to assemble a personal and professional support team, use tools like detailed healthcare directives, and even consider gifts for healthcare proxies as acts of compassion. Plan not just for assets, but for relationships and peace of mind.   Key Topics: Patricia's Philosophy on Estate Planning (03:38) Burden of the Unasked Role (05:11) The Dangers of Safe Deposit Boxes (07:04) Healthcare Directives and Family Conflict (08:59) The Reality of Fiduciary Roles (15:17) “What do You Mean by Liability?” (32:33) Updating Documents and Avoiding DIY Pitfalls (39:16) Stephanie and Kevin's Wrap-Up (49:43)   Resources: DeFonteLaw.com De Fonte Law on YouTube     If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

It's a Super (Gold) Star showdown this week as we're joined by Trey Hill of Gold Star Inspections in Houston! Modern social media content strategies have changed over the years but they boil down to one thing... authenticity! And you won't find anyone who embodies that better than Trey. So, if you're a new inspector and don't know where to start when it comes to content marketing... YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH! Especially if you've ever wondered what makes for GREAT content, and how the best in the industry fit video making into their workflow on site. Trey also shares his journey from traditional marketing to becoming a social media influencer in the home inspection space, highlighting the importance of making educational content entertaining. This episode's Drink of the Day is also a lil different than previous ones, as we get into personal health and the importance of maintaining a work-life balance in a demanding profession. We also get into the controversial concept of having a 'villain' in home inspection video content, as well as the significance of community engagement when it comes to building an audience. Trey also shares his personal experiences with getting hacked and rebuilding his online presence. SO! Like and subscribe, obviously share. And lastly... subscribe to the newsletter here:  https://pages.theridealong.show/newsletter   The TLDR: Trey Hill has been in the inspection business for over 10 years. Social media has transformed how home inspectors market their services. Creating engaging content requires balancing education and entertainment. The inspection process should always come first before content creation. Unique challenges exist for home inspectors in creating content on-site. Networking with realtors is crucial for business growth. Trey emphasizes the importance of a structured inspection workflow. Content creation can be spontaneous but should remain relevant to inspections. Home inspectors often face the challenge of staying focused during inspections with clients present. Maintaining personal health is essential for long-term success in the inspection industry. Content creation can be awkward and challenging. Taglines can significantly enhance brand recognition. TikTok has become a powerful platform for viral content. Engagement with followers is crucial for growth. The villain concept in content can be effective but isn't for everyone. Authenticity is key in content creation. Social media platforms are constantly changing. Rebuilding after setbacks requires community support. Humor and relatability can make content more engaging. It's important to be true to oneself in content creation.

You started your business to gain freedom—but instead, you're buried under spreadsheets, hiring headaches, and a to-do list that never quits. Sound familiar?In this 6-Figure Secrets Podcast episode, Annie Hillman joins Allison to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to run a profitable business with calm confidence. Annie Hillman is the Founder and CEO at 1428 Financial. While finishing her college degree, she took a temporary accounting job and instantly fell in love with accounting. She worked her way up to staff accountant and stayed there until starting her business in 2020. Now, she spends her days helping business owners treat numbers like a tool, not a threat, so they can run empowered, profitable businesses. Annie helps business owners embrace numbers, increase profits, and stress way less with monthly money management. Besides crunching your numbers, she loves fitness, baking bread, and hanging with her husband, daughter, and two dogs on their mini-farm in Ft Worth, Texas.From building a values-aligned team to embracing automation like a boss, Annie shares how she's created a life-first business that fuels her life instead of draining it. If you're craving more profit and peace, this one's a must-listen.TAKEAWAYSReplacing your 9–5 income is only the beginning; true success is building a business that supports your life.Hiring the right people isn't just about skill; it's about culture fit, values, and shared vision.

Building a sustainable team is key to scaling.Automation isn't a luxury; it's a game-changing strategy to buy back your time and energy. Your role as CEO is to lead, not to micromanage.

Are you making this mistake? Too often we see people putting these random list builders into the world: random quizzes that are not tuned in, contests that don't have the right prize, giveaways, and all sorts of other things.Then those freebies end up pulling in the most random people.Now here's the thing, do you really want to email somebody that is not potentially the right person that would even be interested in your offer?It's better to have a smaller list with the right people. Whatever problem you're solving, whatever offer you're putting into the marketplace, you need to be intentional with it. Then you can test and do different things to see what's going to attract the right people into your world. So, let's get the right people in by building the right lists from the beginning because from there the gold is just on the other side.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt
