Podcasts about service based business

Drawing from personal experiences and the latest research, we delve into the profound impact of working with chronic illness in entrepreneurship. This episode is all about shifting the narrative around how we approach business as women living with chronic conditions. We discuss the importance of recognizing that our health should dictate our work style, not the other way around. By challenging the status quo of 'always being on,' we encourage listeners to embrace their unique rhythms and to create business growth and business models that accommodate their health needs. The conversation includes strategies for reconnecting with one's passion and purpose in business, ultimately leading to more aligned and successful ventures. We also introduce our new initiative, 'Rooted Sales,' designed to help our community rediscover their strengths and craft sales strategies that feel authentic and natural to them. As we wrap up, we invite everyone to join us on this journey of transformation, where we prioritize both personal well-being and professional success.Takeaways: Navigating chronic illness while starting a business requires tailored strategies that prioritize health and well-being. Many traditional business models are not designed to support the unique needs of entrepreneurs with chronic conditions. Embracing your individuality and personal story can significantly enhance your business's appeal and effectiveness. Burnout is a common challenge for entrepreneurs with chronic illness, but it doesn't signify personal failure, just the need for a different approach.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Sam Burmeister from Nomad Copy, who writes high-converting sales copy for service-based businesses from all over the world. And let me tell you, this conversation completely shifted how I think about the whole serve-serve-serve-sell mentality that had me posting five educational carousels before I dared mention my services.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe Venn Diagram That Changes EverythingWhy "Nurture" Emails Are Actually Sales Emails in DisguiseThe Three-Column Exercise That Fixes "Salesy" CopyThe Real Talk on AI and CopywritingWhy This Episode Will Actually Change Your BusinessThis isn't just another "how to write better" conversation. Sam breaks down why people buy and gives you the exact framework to write copy that converts without feeling gross about it. When you're only serving to a certain point without offering your paid solutions, you're actually doing people a disservice.Ready to Stop Sending Fluffy Emails?Sam's got a membership called Copy On Demand where she literally becomes your copywriting brain in your back pocket. You write copy, send it her way, and get feedback on what to change and why. It's like having a copywriting coach who actually helps you get better over time instead of just doing the work for you.Plus, she's the type of person who'll slide into your DMs and give you honest feedback on your opt-in page if you send it to her.If you've been treating your content and copy like completely separate things, or if you're still stuck in that old-school mindset of being afraid to sell, this episode is going to give you some serious clarity. Sam makes it clear: your goal as a business owner is to run a business, which means you need to be selling. The question isn't whether to sell – it's how to do it in a way that feels good for everyone involved.Resources from this episode: Copy Coaching & Feedback Membership: Copy On DemandMore about Samantha Burmeister:Sam writes really freakin' high-converting sales copy for service-based businesses.

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Tahnée Sanders to dive deep into one of the most asked questions in business: how do I get more enquiries?We cut through the noise and call out the BS advice that's often thrown around online about low-ticket offers, funnels, and quick wins. If you've ever felt pressure to launch a $27 product or been told to "just run some ads," this conversation will be a refreshing reality check.Tanhee and I talk about the long game of business, the actual time it takes to build trust with your audience, and how social media isn't the magic solution it's often made out to be. We also share honest truths about funnels, building an engaged email list, and how most inquiries are a result of consistent, strategic visibility over time - not flashy gimmicks.We unpack the idea of serving the 90% of your audience who aren't ready to buy (yet) and how that sets you up for long-term success. We also get super practical with strategies you can implement now, including email marketing, diversifying platforms, and clear messaging.Whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your strategy, this episode is for you.What we cover:Why low-ticket offers aren't the golden ticketThe truth about modern funnelsWhy your messaging matters more than your follower countHow long it really takes to convert a cold leadWhat it means to "serve the 90% and monetise the 10%"How to diversify your visibility (and where to start)Why your email list is your most valuable business assetConnect with Tanhee: Explore more at The Strategy Studio and connect with Tahnee Sanders on Instagram @TheStrategyStudio and LinkedIn.Tahnée Sanders, (it's pronounced like Renee, with a T) is a former journalist turned messaging strategist and copywriter who helps service-based business owners clarify their messaging, communicate their value, and attract the right clients with ease.As the founder of The Strategy Studio, Tahnée brings a real-world, results-driven approach to marketing—helping business owners craft messaging that not only connects but also positions them to charge whatDOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNER - https://becchappell.com.au/content-planner/Instagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

Ever Googled “what does it mean to scale a service-based business?” and walked away more confused than before? Same.

Points of Interest1:02 – 1:38 – Intro: Marcel introduces the session as a condensed version of his All-in Agency Summit talk, aimed at equipping agencies with the key levers to diagnose and improve profitability.3:05 – 3:18 – 80/20 Profitability Focus: The goal is to give agencies 20% of the knowledge that provides 80% of the insight needed to take control of profitability, regardless of market conditions.4:28 – 6:27 – The Growth Trap Cycle: Agencies often get stuck in a cycle of hiring during growth, losing profitability, scaling again, and repeatedly encountering the same financial challenges at larger scales.6:42 – 7:01 – Identifying the Real Problem: Founders are urged to identify whether their agency's issue is inefficient delivery (indigestion) or lack of revenue (starvation) to avoid insolvency.9:01 – 10:06 – Financial Metrics Foundation: Understanding core financial metrics—especially agency gross income (AGI)—is essential to making better business decisions beyond tax reporting.14:24 – 18:05 – Delivery Margin as the Core Metric: Agencies should aim for delivery costs to stay under 50% of AGI, enabling better spending on overhead and stronger profitability.21:44 – 26:44 – Lever 1: Average Cost Per Hour: Lowering the average cost of labor through delegation and improved processes helps reduce delivery costs and increase profitability.28:03 – 31:55 – Lever 2: Average Billable Rate (ABR): Maximizing revenue per hour of delivery time, regardless of billing model, improves margins—either by pricing higher or working more efficiently.34:17 – 38:24 – Lever 3: Utilization Rate: Utilization measures how much team capacity is spent on client work; improving it by selling more work or adjusting staff size directly affects profitability.42:01 – 44:45 – Utilization Benchmarks: Weekly and annual utilization targets vary by role; producers should aim for 75%+ weekly, and teams should average 50–65% annually including all roles.45:27 – 49:26 – Impact of Levers on Profit: A case study illustrates how modest gains in utilization and ABR can shift profit margins from 10% to 40%, increasing valuation by up to 500% without hiring or cutting overhead.Show NotesAll-in Agency SummitChris Dubois & Dynamic Agency OSFree Agency Profit ToolkitFree access to our Model PlatformParakeeto Foundations CourseLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

In this episode of Business with Chronic Illness, I'm unpacking the unseen, unspoken emotional workload that so many of us carry before we ever open our laptops or talk to a client. From managing symptoms in silence, to performing “fine” for others, to overthinking how we're perceived — this episode is about the labor that never makes it on our to-do list, but deeply impacts every part of how we run our businesses.I'll share personal stories, client moments, and the powerful mindset shifts that have helped my clients reclaim their capacity, set true boundaries, and build businesses that actually honor their health — not compete with it.What You'll Learn:Why your emotional labor counts (even if you don't see it, if no one else sees it)How the invisible cost of “being fine” shows up in pricing, planning, and perfectionismThe real reason you're tired — and why it's not your faultA simple question to help you design your business around your actual capacityHow to build in space for recovery, without guilt or shame

Your voice might be trying to tell you something—and it's not just about being hoarse or tired after a long day. In this episode of Business with Chronic Illness, Nikita reconnects with vocal vitality coach Brianne Hennessy to explore the surprising signs your voice could be sending you about your energy, alignment, and burnout levels.If you've ever lost your voice before a big launch, felt drained after a short client call, or brushed off vocal changes as “just allergies” or a “normal side effect” of your chronic illness—this one's for you.Together, we dive into:How voice issues can be an early red flag for burnout (before you even realize it)What it looks like to trust your intuition—even when it's inconvenientThe subtle difference between pushing your voice vs. tuning into itVisibility, resistance, and why showing up doesn't always mean being “louder”Letting go of “business as usual” and creating a more sustainable rhythmBrianne shares how our voice is both a tool and a mirror—and when we listen closely, it can guide us toward better health, alignment, and confidence in business.

Hey Friend, You already know—the legal side of business can feel like a whole thing. When I first started, I was overwhelmed trying to figure out what contracts I needed, how to set up my business structure, and whether trademarks were even worth considering. But let me tell you, finding Andrea Sager and discovering The Legalpreneur was a game-changer! In this episode, we're getting all the legal tea straight from Andrea herself. If you're a Jesus-led working mom with over 10 years of professional experience, launching your first coaching or service-based business, this is for you. We're talking about: The must-have legal steps before you launch Business structures—LLC, Sole Proprietor, S-Corp—what's right for you? The legal protections most entrepreneurs overlook (don't get caught slipping!) Why contracts are your best business bestie—and the key clauses you need When to start thinking about trademarks and how they protect your brand The #1 legal mistake new business owners make (so you can avoid it) Listen, I bought my first contract bundle from The Legalpreneur, and it took all the stress out of getting my legal foundation right. Now, Andrea is here to help you do the same! Tune in, take notes, and let's make sure your business is legally protected from day one. I pray this empowers you! .

In this Marketing Makeover Strategy Session, I sit down with Brandi Wolf, a certified meditation teacher and author, to help her improve email engagement. Brandi has an established email list but struggles with getting her audience to interact. We dive into practical strategies to increase engagement, create meaningful conversations, and ensure her emails resonate with the right people. If you've ever felt like your emails are getting ignored, this episode is for you!Key Takeaways:✅ Marketing is a conversation – Stop talking at your audience and start talking with them.✅ Audience, Offer, and Messaging must align – If engagement is low, one of these might be off.✅ Engagement > List Size – A smaller, engaged list is more valuable than a large, disengaged one.✅ Ask your audience what they want – The best marketing comes from knowing your people, not guessing.✅ Personalized follow-ups matter – Send individual emails to top subscribers instead of relying only on mass messages.✅ Micro commitments boost engagement – Require small actions (like sign-ups) to increase participation.

If you want to make a difference based on your passion, experience, or expertise, and you're looking at 2025 thinking, 'What the heck are we going to do?" Let's talk about the top three trends you're going to see as an online business owner in 2025.  The first trend is AI; it's not going anywhere. How are you going to use it? Have you noticed how many people are starting to sound the same? I want you to look at your AI-produced content and remove the words "unlock" and "embark." I don't want any rockets in your copy. You know what I'm saying? Don't have it be obvious.  As you're looking to build your business, make enough money to pay yourself, make sure your family has what they need, hire the right people, hit new financial goals you've never seen before, and have enough time to create beautiful content, use these tools that we have access to. They can help you brainstorm. That's where I'd love to see you use them the most: give me ideas for different ways to say this. How many people are actually suffering from this? What are people searching for when they're upset about XYZ? Those are the different ways you can use AI to support your content creation. Use these tools to help craft an outline of what you'd like to say. And if you're going to use ChatGPT (or my personal favorite, Claude), don't just copy and paste it. It's really transparent when someone uses AI copy that they haven't put themselves into in any way, shape, or form. All of these tools are going to get smarter and better. Still—don't copy and paste it. I want you to ask yourself if that's how you talk. If someone's reading it, can they hear your voice? Does your brand shine through? Are you actually speaking to them, or is AI speaking to everyone because that will kill your business in 2025? The second trend is micro-communities. We have all these different people teaching very similar things. So, how the heck are you supposed to stand out in 2025? What you can do is start to think of your people as a tight little baby community or micro-community. What I mean is that you know who you're speaking to. It takes work to understand your micro-community—many people call it niching down (but I don't like that!). We're talking to people.  So, micro-communities have similarities that bring us together. Making more money in business is mine. I have heart-centered, passionate women who've started to have some success in business, but they're hitting plateaus and not growing. Those are my women. We talk about that, your next 90 days, how we're going to get you to hit your next big, huge financial goal, and what that will take from you if it calls to you. You know you're one of my people. That's my micro-community.  Listen in for the third trend. Before I wrap up this episode, there's one more thing I want to leave you with: Find the joy in your business again. Daily, who are you looking to help? How do you want to change this planet? We have a lot going on, and I really believe we probably need you and what you're here to offer. You're here to do what you are here to do and don't let anyone take that from you. In 2025, it is time for you to shine as yourself and grow your online business. Because over here at Team Sarah, it's our job to put more money in the hands of more women. Happy New Year, and let's make this one great.  Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: How to Use ChatGPT Without Losing Your Personality with Leanne Shelton https://sarahwalton.com/how-to-use-chat-gpt/ How to Increase Revenue In Your Business, Quickly https://sarahwalton.com/increase-your-business-revenue/ You can check out our podcast interviews on YouTube, too! http://bit.ly/YouTubeSWalton  Thank you so much for listening.

Hey Friend, This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Danielle LaBonté, a branding expert whose journey to becoming a graphic designer is as inspiring as her advice. While studying art history design in Italy, Danielle had an aha moment while working on her thesis. She realized she didn't want to write about artists—she was called to be an artist. That calling wouldn't go away, and it changed everything.   As Danielle puts it, her professor was more passionate about her thesis than she was. That realization led her to do a complete 180—leaving her art history path behind and going back to school to study graphic design. Now, she's on a mission to help others find fulfillment in their calling and build brands that tell their unique stories.   Because, as Danielle says: "Your brand isn't just a logo or colors—it's the story you tell and the connection you build with your audience. Align your business with your purpose, and success will follow."   Here's what we covered: The foundational branding elements you need from day one The impact of a professionally designed logo on client first impressions How to create a cohesive brand identity (think colors, typography, and style!) Whether a great brand guarantees success—or if there's more to the equation DIY branding: Is it a cost-saving move or a potential risk? Practical steps to launch a brand that stands out and connects with clients Danielle didn't just share tips—she shared strategy. If you're ready to create a brand that speaks to your ideal clients and sets your business apart, this episode is a must-listen. Hit play now and start building the brand of your dreams!

In this conversation, my guest Emily Sereno & I are talking ALL about service-based business and navigating being a business owner through ups and downs. We dive into a lot of juicy topics in this from navigating perfectionist tendencies, comparison, and the impact of entrepreneurship and social media on mental health. Also, one of THE most important parts of this conversation is when we dive into how to support yourself and in turn your business, when navigating particularly tough seasons in life, including one that Emily has gone through recently with her fertility journey. This episode is tactical but also feels like a hug from a girlfriend, I think you're going to LOVE it. As mentioned in today's episode: If you are an entrepreneur that has surpassed the  6 figure mark (meaning you generate more than 100K a year in your business) and you are wanting 1 on 1 support to take it to the next level working intimating with me in person, and via zoom call support for a 6 month container– shoot me a DM on Instagram, I'm opening up a few 1 on 1 client spots and I would love to hear more about YOU and your business! Check out her podcast: https://www.theservicepreneur.com/podcast Her new community “The Serviceprenuer” for Service-Based Entrepreneurs: https://www.theservicepreneur.com/join & connect with her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theservicepreneur/?hl=en
