You are not bad at selling.   You're just selling to the wrong people.   I know how easy it is to believe you're “bad at sales.” Especially if you're a done-for-you service provider stepping into coaching. You know your offer is powerful. You know you get clients incredible results. But when people don't buy, you start telling yourself you must be the problem.   You're not.   You're just selling to people with the lowest desire for what you offer.   In this week's episode, I'm breaking down: The difference between interest and desire (and why it matters) How to spot leads who will never be ready—no matter how great your offer is The real reason objections like “I can't afford it” come up How to find and attract ready buyers who say yes on the spot   If you've been chasing leads who “love your offer” but never buy, this episode will show you how to finally sell to the ones who are ready now.   Connect with me outside the podcast!  Continue the conversation in the Market Like a Boss Facebook group.  Give me 30 minutes and I'll show you how to add $5K–$10K/month…without adding a single hour to your schedule.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode How much should you invest in your shop? Forget the spreadsheets! We're challenging the conventional wisdom of ROI with three industry titans who discuss building resilience, culture, and high-tech expertise in any market. We sat down at ASTA 2025 in Raleigh with Matt Fanslow, Tommy Markham, and Zeb Beard to dive deep: - The Constableville Paradox: Hear from Tommy Markham about investing in full ADAS calibration equipment for a town that "has exploded to 300 people" and has no stoplights. His motivation? Simply "doing the job right" and ensuring local body shops don't have to flatbed cars 35 miles away. Tommy also stands firm on pricing, refusing the "$99 alignment dilemma." - The Zeb Beard Investment Strategy: Zeb Beard reveals why traditional ROI calculations are sometimes useless: you can "talk yourself out of buying anything". His massive 62,000 square foot shop (which once had clouds inside and includes nine bedrooms) is itself a "worldwide marketing tool." When in doubt, Zeb's famous advice is always: "Pull the trigger!" - Navigating Volatility: Since COVID, Zeb notes that business graphs now fluctuate wildly between record high months and record low months. The solution? Being resilient and focusing on "doing the right thing." The conversation also explores the balance between working in and on the business, the importance of continuous learning, and how authenticity and integrity keep shops resilient through economic swings. remarkableresults.biz/a455 https://astausa.org/pages/asta-expo Thanks to our Partner, NAPA TRACS NAPA TRACS will move your shop into the SMS fast lane with onsite training and six days a week of support and local representation.

In this episode, you'll discover why the most powerful tool in your practice isn't your OCT or your EHR—it's your voice. Dr. Steve Vargo shares a personal story of the time he bombed his first big presentation. Months of preparation, flawless slides, and bullet-point perfection… and yet, the audience checked out. That failure became the turning point that taught him one truth every doctor needs to know: information doesn't inspire action—connection does. You'll learn how the same techniques great speakers use on stage—clarity, storytelling, and confidence—can transform the way you communicate in the exam room. Because every patient encounter is a performance, and the way you deliver your message determines whether patients tune out or take action.   Follow our Podcast on All Available Platforms Follow our Podcast on Instagram Follow IDOC on Facebook Follow IDOC on LinkedIn Watch our Podcast Video on YouTube

Setting boundaries involves deciding what and where you give your time, energy, emotions, and resources to. There are conflicting priorities, pressures, and people to consider. We often forget to include our own needs, especially when we are dealing with dysfunctional relationship dynamics. One of the helpful things to remember when setting boundaries is that when you say yes to anything or anyone, you say no to yourself. This powerful reminder can help you remember to take care of yourself, especially when you struggle with Christian boundaries, thinking you have to put yourself last. #dysfunctionalrelationship #boundaries #selfcare   Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ABs37QbD71o

Breathe Better, Live Better with Lenka Dostalova On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, with special guest Lenka Dostalova. Little bit about Lenka's story from her:  As a certified Oxygen Advantage breath instructor I've experienced many significant changes in my personal life when I started paying attention to my 24/ breathing and practicing functional breathing during my day. I believe in the power of our breath, the simple tool (we often take for granted) and the magic it can create in our lives when we use it in a way that can benefit our overall well being. I inspire individuals to start paying attention to their breath and start using the beautiful GIFT we already have within functionally. It's FREE, we can use it anytime, anywhere without relying on others or things from the outside. Short bio: Lenka brings her passion for functional breathing to her coaching practice, "Say YES to Life," where she helps clients discover the transformative power of proper breathing techniques. As a certified Oxygen Advantage breath instructor, Lenka has developed a teaching style that emphasizes the integration of healthy breathing habits into everyday life. Lenka inspires individuals to slow down, pause, connect to Mother Nature and change their mindset from always DOING to just BEING in order to experience an extraordinary life.

We're all out of the ordinary. “We need to be open to risks. We need to go from dreaming to doing. We need to say ‘yes' to the hard things.” We address: ● Balancing excitement and grit when facing tough challenges ● Saying “yes” to the big things ● Finding freedom in structure ● Moving from dreamer to doer Dan welcomes Mark Drager, entrepreneur, speaker, and the founder of Phanta Media. He is also the co-host of The Something to Prove Podcast with Evan Carmichael, as well as The We Do Hard Things Podcast. On these shows, he explores the challenges of entrepreneurship while sharing real-life stories, experiences, and practical insights. 3 MAJOR POINTS DISCUSSED ● At some point in your life, you will have something to prove—either to others or to yourself. Most people know how it feels to want to demonstrate their worth to family, friends, and even total strangers. But even the most successful people in the world are faced with fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs that they are driven to overcome. In either case, get excited that you get to grow through smashing these limiting beliefs. ● The key to growth is excitement. Excitement will carry you so much further than grit or determination will. But the grit and the determination come in when you don't have the excitement. ● It's great to dream, but at some point, it's time to do. Whenever you have a dream, you feel creative, smart, potential, and accomplished. But if you don't do anything—if you don't move from being a dreamer to being a doer—you'll feel like a liar. Whenever you have a dream, you're on the other side of a scary, hard, or difficult thing. Will everything work out if you take the leap? Probably not. As an entrepreneur and strategist, Mark has built a multi-million dollar marketing agency, Mark helped launch startups and transformed international brands... and yet despite all the success, Mark still wakes up every morning with the feeling that he is not good enough. That he has not come close to hitting his potential. And he may never achieve the high-hopes he has for myself. He believes we all have something to prove - to the doubters, the haters, the voices in our own heads... So, each week he will shares real, tactical advice and the most interesting and inspiring interviews. Because his goal is to help those of us who have something to prove show the world, and ourselves, that we have what it takes to make it happen.

God uses His appointed feasts to shift the atmosphere and draw us closer to Him. But the question remains: Will you say yes? As believers, saying "yes" to God isn't a one-time decision — it's a daily surrender. In this message, we explore the deeper meaning behind your "yes" and how it shapes your walk with Christ. Key Scriptures: Matthew 4:18-20 - Say Yes to Following Him Isaiah 6:1-9 - Say Yes to Purpose Ephesians 6:12-13 – Say Yes to Warfare Luke 9:23 – Say Yes Daily 2 Timothy 4:7-8, Proverbs 4:25-27 Psalm 119:112

"Gratitude starts with being thankful for you before being thankful for anything else." — Sheila Kamuda Sheila Kamuda is an empowerment coach specializing in boosting confidence and leadership abilities. Her coaching career was inspired by two pivotal events: a personal healing journey following the loss of her husband and a robust 15-year stint in leadership roles. Sheila is also an author, with her works focusing on self-discovery and personal empowerment. Her work, encapsulated in her latest book "Say Yes to Yes," empowers individuals to embrace opportunities and lead a fulfilling, confident life. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of "Oh My Health, There Is Hope," host Jana Short welcomes empowerment coach Sheila Kamuda to share her compelling story and provide insights into leading a life filled with confidence. Sheila recounts her transformative journey through grief after losing her husband, a period during which writing daily letters to him helped her heal. Over the course of six years, Sheila penned almost 2,000 letters, during which she discovered the potent question, "What is on the other side of grief?" This pivotal inquiry led her to emerge as a more robust and empowered version of herself, sparking her mission to help others discover their inner strength. Sheila Kamuda fervently discusses cultural and self-imposed barriers many women face, especially in terms of confidence and social expectations. She stresses living "out loud" and proudly declaring one's achievements, no matter their size. The episode delves deeply into understanding personal purpose and embracing opportunities, with Sheila encouraging listeners to lead with confidence against fears and societal judgments. Her book "Say Yes to Yes" offers an empowering philosophy: embracing even minor opportunities can lead to significant transformations, a concept shaped by Sheila's personal experiences and professional expertise. Key Takeaways: Sheila Kamuda's personal healing journey illustrates the transformative power of expressing emotions and questioning grief. Identifying and cherishing personal achievements, regardless of their size, can have a significant impact on self-confidence and the discovery of purpose. Living 'out loud' involves embracing one's unique story, regardless of societal or cultural narratives. Openness to opportunities, however small, can usher in profound changes in one's personal and professional life. The importance of rewriting limiting beliefs into affirming narratives to foster personal growth and empowerment.

Cataanda James, Chief Beauty Officer of CJ The Beauty Group, talks about building a career that surpasses her wildest dreams.  Cataanda James is a textured-hair expert, educator, and beauty industry strategist whose career embodies resilience, authenticity, and the courage to follow one's passion.  Raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, she grew up inspired by her mother's love of fashion and flawless grooming.  By junior high, Cataanda was already recognized as the "cat-eye queen," sharing makeup techniques with classmates, and by her college years, she had turned her dorm room into a thriving salon.  What others dismissed as a pastime became her undeniable calling. Her journey wasn't without resistance. While her mother supported her talent wholeheartedly, her father insisted that beauty was not a "real career."  Determined to prove otherwise, Cataanda pursued cosmetology, but soon discovered that many schools neglected textured hair altogether.  The turning point came when she enrolled at Dudley Cosmetology University in North Carolina, where she was immersed in technical excellence and, equally important, a business-first philosophy.  There she learned to approach beauty not only as an art, but as a profession requiring entrepreneurship, customer service, and polish. From there, she built a diverse foundation, working in barbershops, marketing herself with Polaroid photos long before Instagram existed, and mastering speed and precision at Supercuts.  A bold move to Baltimore in 2002 brought her closer to New York and opened new doors.  At MAC Cosmetics, she refined her artistry, attracted a broader client base, and stepped into freelance opportunities that connected her to the wider beauty industry. In 2003, Cataanda began a career-defining relationship with L'Oréal.  What started with consumer events grew into a nearly decade-long role at the New York Technical Center, where she became the company's Texture Expert.  There, she collaborated with chemists and product developers, testing innovations for brands such as L'Oréal Paris, Garnier, Carol's Daughter, and Dark & Lovely, and influencing product launches worldwide.  Following the pandemic's impact on the industry, Cataanda joined The Mane Choice as a Brand Educator, focusing exclusively on curly and textured hair.  While that chapter was valuable, her entrepreneurial spirit ultimately led her to create CJ The Beauty Group, a consultancy dedicated to helping beauty brands innovate with integrity, test products rigorously, and design inclusive strategies that authentically serve textured-hair consumers. Through every chapter, her philosophy has remained the same: step boldly into opportunity, nurture authentic relationships, and trust that what is meant for you will not pass you by.  From Kalamazoo roots to global stages, Cataanda James is proof that when passion is paired with persistence, the sky is not the limit, it's only the beginning.   Key Takeaways from Cataanda's Journey Passion Always Leaves Clues - What you loved as a child often holds the seeds of your purpose. Pay attention to those early sparks. Don't Let Doubt Define You - Even when others can't see your vision, trust yourself enough to pursue it with bold confidence. Education Is More Than Skill - True success requires not just talent but also professionalism, business acumen, and the courage to treat your passion like a career. Say Yes to Opportunity - Sometimes the next step isn't clear. Leap anyway—the door may lead to more than you ever imagined. Relationships Are Currency - Genuine connections open doors that strategy alone cannot. Stay in touch, stay authentic, and stay open. Quotes by Cataanda "What's meant for you will never pass you by; your only job is to walk boldly into the opportunities placed in front of you." "You don't need to have the entire plan; sometimes you just have to move, trust God, and figure it out along the way." "Even when you're scared, do it anyway, fear doesn't mean stop, it means step forward with faith."   Connect With Cataanda   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cataandaj/   Website: https://cataandaj.com/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cataandaj   X: https://x.com/cataandaj

Imagine this is your last breath on earth? Would it change what you are doing right now? Would it change how you approach what you are doing right now?Today I want to introduce you to Carles, a human that I think has found what it is to know joy in every day, someone who on a bit of a mission if you will to connect and learn from whatever is different in this world, and someone that I believe is using dating apps in the only way I would ever consider using them myselfWe chat about what it means to invest in your health and growth, how you are your greatest asset and how nothing you pour into in this life will matter more, how loss in all its sadness must point us towards the reality that we are still here with a life to live and purpose to fulfill He shares what its like to focus over the last 6 months and shift his thinking in ways that have allowed him to be intentionally more present, how the noise of overthinking can often get in the way of truly living the life we have, and how everything other than death is not a real problem cause we get to go onWe chat about what it means for money to be a consequence of our work and not the goal. He shares what it means to find peace with what claims our attention and also demands nothing all at once, and how we get to impact the world by paying attention to who is in front of us Carles is one that I have had the pleasure of connecting with over the years, but up until this weekend, I hadn't had a chance to truly sit down with him, I believe we can know someones character within minutes, but I believe it is not just based on our own ability to read someone, but also their ability and willingness to be known. Carles is one that I admire, respect, have learned from, and who truly allows me to be present when spending time with himSo tune in today and meet Carles, I promise you will walk away from this conversation with a perspective both on yourself and connection that will allow you to know joy and another human in a deeper wayAnd to you Carles thank you, thank you for the way you are in conversation, on a walk, or even in a crowd, you are one that holds space well and allowed me the honor of knowing I was not competing for your attention when I spoke, and for allowing me the same in return as you have shared parts of your life. You are an incredible soul that I am truly grateful to call a friend may you continue to say no to anything that does not deserve a yes in your life

You're saying yes a lot — to projects, collaborations, opportunities — but you're feeling the cost: less energy, more overwhelm, and zero creative juice. What if protecting your boundaries was the true key to creative freedom?In this episode you'll learn:

In this episode of The Other 99%, Lisa and Susan sit down with returning guest Melissa Thury, founder of Balance in Business with Melissa. Melissa shares her journey from healthcare administration and direct sales to becoming a business coach for women entrepreneurs. She opens up about learning to set boundaries, the importance of saying no, and how systems and intentional time management can create balance in both business and life.Key Points: Balance over perfection: Balance doesn't mean equal time, it means the right time in the right season.Systems matter: A good website, email marketing, and CRM are stronger growth drivers than social media alone. Boundaries are non-negotiable: Saying no creates space for what truly matters. Direct sales reality check: Success requires intentional planning, not just working in “pockets of time.” Personal values guide business: Filter decisions and opportunities through what actually matters to you, not what's “supposed” to matter.Memorial Quotes: “Balance doesn't mean equal. It means your work and family get the time they need in that season.” – Melissa Thury, “Direct sellers need to stop thinking of themselves as hobbyists. You are your own brand and you need a plan.” – Melissa Thury, “No is an answer all by itself. It's freeing to say no when you don't want to, instead of showing up to something you never wanted to be at.” – Melissa Thury#DirectSales #ConferenceHigh #BusinessGrowth #TheOther99%Podcast Find Melissa on Facebook | bbwithmelissa.comBook a Discovery Call with MelissaThank you for tuning in to The Other 99%.

Saying no is rarely easy — especially when the opportunity is something you really want to say yes to. In this episode, I share a personal example of when I turned down a big media opportunity that landed right in the middle of my family's annual Colorado trip. On paper, I was technically available. My husband could've watched the kids, my calendar was clear, and the opportunity would've been great for my business. But in practice? Saying yes would have derailed my ability to truly unplug, be present with my family, and recharge. In this episode, I walk you through: The ripple effects of saying yes — from prep time and tech checks to energy recovery afterward. Why the pause is the most powerful tool when you're tempted to say yes too quickly. How to evaluate the true cost of opportunities beyond the calendar block they appear to take. The difference between scarcity thinking (“this may never come again”) and embracing a more abundance mindset (even if a little woo). Why protecting vacation time, family time, and rest can sometimes matter more than visibility opportunities. How saying no doesn't just protect you — it also builds strength, clarity, and integrity. I also share how I reframed the “no” by connecting the opportunity with another woman in my field. It reminded me that collaboration, generosity, and boundaries can all exist together. If you ever feel guilty or second-guess yourself when saying no — especially to exciting opportunities — this episode might help you see the full picture and feel more confident in your decision-making.

Matt and Maria Raine say their son, 16-year-old Adam Raine, started using ChatGPT-4o in September 2024 to help with his homework. After Adam died by suicide this past April, his parents realized that ChatGPT was also lending an ear to Adam's suicidal ideations and giving him advice on techniques. In a lawsuit filed against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, the Raines allege that the chatbot actively isolated Adam from family and friends.  They say ChatGPT not only didn't stop Adam from taking his own life —  it actually helped him do it. Kara speaks to Matt and Maria, as well as their attorney, Jay Edelson of Edelson PC, about Adam's final months, why they believe OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman should be held responsible for Adam's suffering and death, and what kind of safety features are needed for AI companions.  In response to a request for comment, an OpenAI spokesperson said: “Our deepest sympathies are with the Raine family for their unthinkable loss. Teen well-being is a top priority for us - minors deserve strong protections, especially in sensitive moments. We have safeguards in place today, such as surfacing crisis hotlines, guiding how our models respond to sensitive requests, and nudging for breaks during long sessions, and we're continuing to strengthen them. We will soon roll out parental controls, developed with expert input, so families can decide what works best in their homes, and we're building toward a long-term age-prediction system to help tailor experiences appropriately.” This episode discusses the death by suicide of a teenager in significant detail. If you are struggling, please reach out for help. In the US and Canada you can call or text the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 anytime for immediate support.  Questions? Comments?
