Podcasts about scale your business

Cash flow should never hinge on a silent algorithm. We sit down with Lissa Fryxell from Easy Pay Direct to unpack the decision most founders make by default—aggregator versus dedicated merchant accounts—and why that single choice can determine whether your payouts keep flowing during spikes, launches, and headline shocks. Lissa shares the jaw-dropping story of a small business owner who ran one legitimate high-ticket transaction and lost access to $93,000 for more than a year, then breaks down how to prevent that scenario with smarter underwriting and proactive risk design.We get practical about building a checkout that actually grows revenue. From one-click upsells and cross-sells to subscriptions and wallets, Lissa explains how to increase conversion and average order value without adding friction. She also weighs the tradeoffs of Buy Now, Pay Later and shows where it lifts sales versus where it can siphon off valuable upsell moments. If you run on Shopify, you'll hear the real limits of aggregator-based payments during product launches and seasonal surges—and the alternative integrations that preserve control, support high-risk categories, and keep you as the merchant of record.Chargebacks, holds, and mystery fees don't have to be a cost of doing business. Learn the simple fixes that reduce disputes—clear statement descriptors, accessible support, and visible refund policies—plus how to use alerts and response windows to win more cases. We even share a quick way to calculate your true effective rate and decide when it's time to negotiate or switch. If e-commerce growth is your aim, treat payments as a revenue system, not just a cost center.Enjoyed the conversation?

Revenue looks great on paper, but you still feel broke. This disconnect between what the numbers show and what your bank account reflects is one of the most frustrating experiences for women entrepreneurs. You're working harder than ever, your sales are growing, yet somehow there's never enough left over to feel truly secure or to invest in the things that would actually move your business forward.   We so rarely have frank conversations about where money actually flows in our businesses. While the entrepreneurial world loves to talk about growing revenue and scaling teams, nobody's teaching you how to analyze whether your money is flowing through your business in a way that sets you up for profit or exhaustion.   Listen in this week as Eleanor walks you through the margin stack framework: four critical cost allocations between revenue and profit that tell the complete story of your business health. You'll discover why growing revenue without proper profit architecture leads to resentment and burnout, and exactly which numbers reveal whether you're building wealth or just feeding an expensive machine.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO72   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en

Ready to scale your Amazon business? Click here to book a strategy call.  https://calendly.com/firingtheman/amazonTired of guessing your way through stockouts, overstock, and Amazon's ever-shifting fees? We sat down with Randy Thebeau—programmer, analyst, Amazon seller, and former 3PL owner—who turned years of warehouse chaos into SKU Compass, a practical system for sellers who want clarity, not dashboards for show. Randy shares how he set a hard revenue target and deadline to quit his bank job, then learned the hard way why spreadsheets crumble under daily sales swings, multi-channel expansion, and the hidden math of bundles and kits.We unpack the habits that protect margins: treating safety stock as non-negotiable insurance, measuring coverage in days (not just units), and setting channel-specific thresholds so FBA stays lean while sales stay steady. Randy breaks down a hybrid approach to AWD and 3PL that speeds replenishment without surrendering your P&L to auto systems, plus a simple rule to cut long-term storage by taking manual control when FBA dips below a 30-day window. We also get tactical on returns triage for higher-ticket products, supplier standards that prevent rework (barcode at the factory or walk away), and why two manufacturers per SKU can save a launch when quality slips.If multi-channel sales have turned your inventory into a guessing game, you'll hear how bundling can push up average order value while SKU Compass handles the tricky component math across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, WooCommerce, and ShipStation-powered channels. The throughline is simple: right-size your stock, protect cash flow, and make fewer—but sharper—decisions that compound over time. Subscribe, share with a seller who's stuck in spreadsheet hell, and leave a review with your biggest inventory headache—we'll queue it up for a future deep dive.Randy Social Media:https://www.facebook.com/randy.thebeauhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/randy-thebeau/SKU Compass Social Media:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566592928758https://www.youtube.com/@SKUCompasshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/sku-compass/https://skucompass.com/Ready to scale your Amazon business?

We want your feedback and questions. Text us here.Last time, attorney and entrepreneur Rocco Cozza showed us how to avoid the legal traps that can quietly sink a business before it even gets started. But here's the thing — even if you check every legal box, your company can still stall out. Growth isn't automatic. Scaling takes more than hiring fast or chasing revenue — it takes healthy systems, a clear mindset shift, and the courage to let go. In today's episode, Rocco's back — not just as a lawyer, but as a founder who's been in the trenches — to help us uncover the hidden growth traps that keep leaders stuck inside their own frame.

What happens when you've built multiple companies, lost control, got burned by partners, and then finally get it right? Patrick Dillon has done it all. He's built several digital agencies, and even a janitorial company. He's taken on investors, lost equity, made painful pivots, and come out the other side with a lean, wildly profitable agency. Today, his company, WISE Digital, is scaling steadily without the risk of it all collapsing from one bad client, partner, or decision. In this episode, we break down how Pat used AI to scale without bloat, what really went wrong with his first three ventures, and why he'll never niche down again.

There's scaling advice, and then there's feminist scaling advice. And here's the truth: these two things are actually quite different.   If you've ever received business advice that felt off, like it wasn't accounting for your full experience as a woman leader, there's a reason for that. In this week's episode, Eleanor is pulling back the curtain on why traditional scaling advice often falls short for women entrepreneurs, and what we really need to consider when building scalable businesses.   Listen in this week to learn why gender matters deeply in scaling advice. As someone who has mentored over 750 women leaders, Eleanor has seen firsthand how transformative the right kind of scaling advice can be. If you're ready to scale without sacrificing yourself in the process, this episode is for you.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO70

‍ * New * Valora - Your AI Business Coach Turn the wisdom from this episode into practical actions for your business in minutes. Access Valora here and get personalised actions for growth > ‍ The Truth About Coaching Through Imposter Syndrome So many coaches and consultants encounter clients who hold themselves back—not because they lack skills, but because they quietly believe they don't deserve success. ‍ In this episode of The Brilliant Book Festival, I'm joined by Clare Josa, author of Ditching Imposter Syndrome and now her follow-up book: Coaching Imposter Syndrome. ‍ Clare has spent more than two decades helping people break free from imposter syndrome. Now her mission is bigger: to equip coaches, consultants and leaders with safe, practical tools to recognise and respond to imposter syndrome when it shows up in their sessions. ‍ She also reveals the myths still circulating about imposter syndrome, why it's not the same as self-doubt, and how AI might just play a surprising role in helping people feel more confident and capable. ‍ If you've ever wondered how to tell the difference between skills-based self-doubt and deeper identity-level imposter syndrome, this conversation will open your eyes. ‍ Prefer to WATCH? https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell ‍‍ ‍ “Imposter syndrome isn't a life sentence. It's something you can spot, understand and clear.” – Clare Josa ‍ Beyond Self-Doubt: Spotting the Real Signs Clare explains that self-doubt is about skills, while imposter syndrome cuts deeper — it's about identity. ‍ Self-doubt sounds like: “I don't know enough, I need more experience.” Imposter syndrome sounds like: “I'm not good enough. They'll find me out.” This distinction matters, because the tools that help with self-doubt often fail when the issue is imposter syndrome. Coaches who miss this can leave clients feeling stuck or even unsafe. ‍ The Myths Holding Us Back In recent years, imposter syndrome has gained visibility, but with that has come misinformation. Clare shares how some dismiss it as: ‍ “Just self-doubt in disguise.” “A construct designed to hold women back.” Her response? Labels aside, what matters is helping people recognise the patterns keeping them small, and giving them tools to move forward. ‍ “Confidence grows fastest when you have the right tools and support at your fingertips.” – Clare Josa ‍ ‍ Practical Tools for Coaches Clare's new book and app provide 26 simple, safe tools coaches can use the moment imposter syndrome gatecrashes a session. These tools help coaches to: ‍ Clear limiting patterns without opening emotional “Pandora's boxes.” Shift their clients mindset fast with confidence and safety. Give coaches clarity on how far to go — and when to signpost deeper support. The goal isn't to turn every coach into an imposter syndrome specialist, but to equip them with the confidence to help clients without overstepping. ‍ ‍ Imposter Syndrome, Introverts and Change Clare also clears up another myth: imposter syndrome doesn't only affect introverts. Both introverts and extroverts experience it, but they cope differently: ‍ Introverts tend to overthink. Extroverts tend to overact. And because imposter syndrome is linked to identity, it often surfaces during times of transition—like stepping into a new role, raising prices, or navigating fast-changing technology. ‍ AI as a Confidence Companion Perhaps most intriguing, Clare has developed Ask Clare AI — an app trained on millions of her own words to give coaches, managers and individuals real-time support between sessions. ‍ It's not designed to replace the coach, but to act as a safe, trauma-informed resource when self-doubt or fear strikes in the moment. ‍ ‍ A Final Thought to Reflect On Coaching through imposter syndrome isn't about fixing clients — it's about helping them reconnect with who they really are. ‍ When coaches can spot the difference between self-doubt and identity-level struggle, and when they have the tools to guide clients safely through those first steps, everyone benefits. ‍ As Clare reminds us, the real goal is bigger than overcoming imposter syndrome. It's about building a world where people feel comfortable in their own skin, confident in their contribution, and free to reach their full potential. ‍ So instead of asking, “How do I help my clients push through self-doubt?” try asking, “How can I give them the tools and confidence to break free from imposter syndrome for good?” ‍ That small shift in perspective can change not just a coaching session, but the whole trajectory of a client's success. ‍ ‍ ‍ About Clare Clare Josa has been a leadership mentor since 2003. She's the author of eight books, including Dare To Dream Bigger and Ditching Imposter Syndrome.

Access Valora here and get personalised actions for growth > ‍ The Secrets of Being a Bookable Speaker So many entrepreneurs wonder why some speakers are in constant demand while others struggle to get booked. In this episode of The Brilliant Business Book Festival, Maria Franzoni,  former bureau insider and author of The Bookability Formula reveals the formula that makes speakers irresistible to event organizers. Drawing on decades of experience, Maria shows why being “bookable” has less to do with celebrity status and more to do with relevance, clarity, memorability, and ease. She also explains how entrepreneurs can use speaking not just for visibility, but as a powerful driver of business growth and influence. If you've ever wanted to know what makes organizers say yes and how to become the go-to choice in your field, this conversation will open your eyes. ‍ ‍ Prefer to WATCH? https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell‍‍ ‍ ‍ “Bookable speakers aren't always the most famous — they're the ones who are relevant, memorable, and easy to work with.” – Maria Franzoni ‍ Beyond Star Power: What Really Gets You Booked Many assume that only celebrities or big-name experts get chosen for paid speaking gigs. Maria shows why that's a myth. The most booked speakers aren't always the most famous — they're the ones who are relevant, memorable, and easy to work with. ‍ She explains why clarity of message and consistency often matter more than a massive following, and how anyone can raise their profile by positioning themselves strategically. ‍ ‍ The Six Elements of Bookability Maria breaks down her framework into four foundations, a multiplier, and a divider: ‍ Relevance to a paying audience Known for one clear thing Memorable for both audiences and bookers Easy to find and work with Value as the multiplier (delivering clear ROI) Ego as the divider (too much can ruin everything) This combination reveals why some speakers build thriving businesses while others plateau. ‍ ‍ “Being known for one clear thing doesn't limit you — it's the key that opens the right doors.” – Maria Franzoni  ‍ ‍ Niching Down to Open Doors One of the most counterintuitive insights Maria shares is that being known for one thing actually expands your opportunities. Just like Amazon started with books before becoming known for convenience, speakers who focus on one clear theme open the door to broader opportunities later. ‍ ‍ Value Beyond the Stage The most successful speakers don't just show up, deliver a talk, and leave. They think in terms of long-term value — creating ways for organizers and audiences to keep learning and benefiting from their expertise long after the speech is over. From books to recordings to tailored follow-up resources, Maria highlights creative ways speakers can multiply their impact (and income). ‍ ‍ The Power of Consistency Perhaps Maria's most practical reminder is that consistency builds visibility. If you're not regularly showing up where your audience is, you'll fall off their radar — no matter how good you are on stage. ‍ ‍ A Final Thought to Reflect On Becoming a bookable speaker isn't about chasing fame or filling your calendar with endless hustle. It's about clarity, relevance, and the consistent delivery of value. When you make it easy for others to work with you, when you show up consistently, and when you focus on solving the problems of a paying audience, opportunities begin to find you. ‍ So instead of asking, “How do I get on more stages?” try asking, “How can I make myself the obvious choice for the right stages?” ‍ That small shift in perspective can transform speaking from a side activity into a real engine for business growth. ‍ ‍ About Maria Maria Franzoni is the author of The Bookability Formula, a recognised expert in the speaking industry, with experience as an agent, international speaker bureau owner, and mentor since 1998. She has worked with some of the world's most celebrated speakers and shaped the careers of many others. Maria teaches speakers how to become more relevant, known, and bookable by sharing the strategies used by the top 1%. Her programmes simplify the business of speaking, focusing on positioning, marketing, and sales.

Click here now to access the tool > ‍ Rethinking Growth: How to Scale Without Sacrifice Have you ever considered scaling to seven figures and thought: ‘I couldn't do that,' or ‘That would cost me too much?'  ‍ More hours. More stress. More sacrifice. ‍ It's this belief that keeps so many women playing small. They remain convinced that bigger growth must come at the expense of their freedom, their family, or their wellbeing. ‍ But Fabienne Fredrickson, founder of Boldheart and author of The Leveraged Business believes differently.  ‍ In this episode of The Brilliant Business Book Festival, she shares how female entrepreneurs can move from six to seven figures with ease — not by working harder, but by leveraging smarter. ‍ This episode is a must-listen if you've ever dreamed of expanding your business, but worried it would mean losing yourself in the process. ‍ ‍ Prefer to WATCH? ‍https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell  ‍ “To grow, you don't need to work more — you need to work less, and leverage more.” – Fabienne Fredrickson ‍ The Feminine Way to Scale When Fabienne first left corporate, she quickly realised that the typical “success formulas” didn't fit. The traditional models — hustle harder, outwork the competition, close sales with rigid scripts — felt heavy, masculine, and misaligned. ‍ And yet, she also knew that ignoring growth wasn't an option. So she chose a different path. ‍ Instead of chasing every tactic, Fabienne focused on what truly worked, cutting away the 80% that drained time and energy. Over time, she developed a distinctly feminine way of scaling — one that honours rest, values alignment, and creates space for life outside of business. ‍‍ The Eight Leverage Activators for Sustainable Growth Her book outlines eight “activators” that, like switches in a dark room, bring clarity and momentum as you flip them on. These are:  ‍ 1. Leverage Your Team – Build and trust a team that takes work off your plate so you can focus on growth rather than doing everything yourself. 2. Leverage Your Systems – Put in place documented processes so the business can run smoothly even when you're not directly involved. 3. Leverage Your Time – Be strategic about how you spend your hours, limiting low-value work and protecting time for high-impact tasks. 4. Leverage Your Business Model – Shift from doing everything yourself to one-to-many models or other scalable designs so revenue isn't tightly tied to your hours. 5. Leverage Your Marketing – Build omnipresent, automated or semi-automated marketing so leads come without you personally doing every outreach. 6. Leverage Your Accountability – Create external structures or supports (mentors, peers, boards etc.) that help keep you on track and responsible for progress. 7. Leverage Your Differentiation – Clarify what makes you unique and position that strongly so you attract clients who value you, not just any client. 8. Leverage Your Lifestyle – Design your business around the life you want rather than letting business demands dictate your personal time. The common lesson between these activators is that sustainable growth happens when you work less, but smarter, and when you trust others (and yourself) to hold more. ‍ ‍ “Scaling is not about hustle; it's about shifting your identity to receive more with ease.” – Fabienne Fredrickson ‍ ‍ Mindset Before Strategy Fabienne highlighted that that business growth begins with identity, not tactics. The mindset that carries you to six figures will not take you to seven. To step into that next level, you need to: Believe it's possible for you, not just for others. Strengthen your capacity to receive more. Let go of hyper-independence and embrace support. And the fastest way to build that belief? Surround yourself with women who've already done it. Evidence and community reshape what you see as possible — and allow you to claim more for yourself. ‍ Redefining Ambition Scaling doesn't mean sacrificing. It means designing a business that sustains you instead of drains you. A business where evenings and weekends are yours. A business where freedom and growth go hand in hand. As Fabienne reminds us, when you leverage wisely and shift your mindset, expansion can feel natural, aligned, and deeply nourishing. If you've ever secretly thought, “I'd love to reach seven figures, but not at the cost of my life,” in this episode, Fabienne shows you a different way forward. A Final Thought to Reflect On Scaling isn't about chasing more — it's about choosing differently. The moment you stop trying to do everything and start focusing on the few things that truly move the needle, your business (and your life) begin to expand. So, instead of asking “How much harder do I need to work?” try asking “How much more can I allow?” Because the future you're dreaming of doesn't require more sacrifice. It requires more space, more trust, and more you. ‍ ‍ Want to explore what this could look like for you? ‍Learn more about the ways you can work with Melitta Campbell to uncover your Value Sweet Spot to market, sell and grow your business confidently, and always on your terms.
