From confidently asking for feedback (even when things go wrong), to creating moments of surprise and delight outside the four walls of your business, Stacey shares practical strategies that strengthen loyalty and reduce the pressure of constant customer acquisition. This episode also explores how to spot “flight risks” early and proactively reconnect before customers quietly disappear. If you want more repeat customers, stronger relationships and a business that feels easier to run, this episode is packed with ideas you can implement straight away.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet. You launched. You did the hard work of getting your business off the ground. Now what? If you've found yourself back in perfecting mode, tweaking your website, adjusting your pricing, adding another system, this episode is your redirect. After launch, there are only two things that move the needle: leads and sales. Everything else is secondary until you have paying clients. In this episode, we break down why leads and sales are your top two post-launch priorities, what lead-generating and sales-generating activities actually look like for a service-based business, and how to stay in motion even while working a full-time job. By the end of this episode, you will know the two post-launch focus areas that drive revenue and keep your business moving forward long after launch day. I pray this blesses you. .

What happens when a professional dog groomer with over 20 years of experience stops keeping her best secrets to herself? She builds a brand. In this episode of The Visibility Impact Show, Crissy Conner sits down with Debby Bradbury, founder of For Fur Sake, a brand dedicated to helping dog owners achieve professional-level grooming results at home through effective tools and step-by-step education.Debby shares how years of working with reactive dogs, special needs dogs, and overwhelmed dog owners revealed a massive gap between what groomers know and what owners actually have access to.

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet. You can have the best service in your industry, but if the right people can't find you, you'll stay stuck, wondering why nobody's reaching out. Visibility isn't about going viral. It's about having a system that consistently puts you in front of the people who need what you offer. In this episode, we break down the 4-part visibility system every service-based business needs to attract new clients even while working a 9-to-5. By the end of this episode: You'll have a visibility blueprint that's practical, buildable, and designed for the early-stage entrepreneur who's tired of being invisible online. You will know exactly which parts of the 4-part visibility system you already have in place and which ones to build next so your ideal client can finally find you. I pray this blesses you. .

If you own your own business, there is exactly one way to make money: you have to sell something. And yet, some of the smartest, most passionate, most talented people I know are doing everything but that — and wondering why the revenue isn't reflecting the work they're putting in. I've been in so many conversations lately, both on the show and off it, with business owners at every stage — people just starting out, people already at six figures, people who have been at this for years — and the same patterns keep showing up. These are not beginner problems. These are business problems. And they are fixable.What I've come to understand is that making more money is never only a mindset issue and never only a strategy issue. It is always both. The actions you're not taking and the beliefs that are keeping you from taking them are working together to keep you exactly where you are. I've built my entire business on high-ticket, high-touch, relational work — one-on-one coaching and my group program, The Passionate and Prosperous Academy — and what I see stopping people from growing isn't a lack of talent or a bad offer. It's a handful of specific, nameable things that most people don't even realize they're doing.In this episode, I'm laying out five of them. I'm not holding back, and I'm not being gentle about it — because I'd rather you hear the truth from me than spend another year spinning in the same loop.Reasons to tune in:The mistake that happens before you even create your offer — and why it's quietly capping your income before you've given the market a chance to tell you anythingWhy trying to automate your way to more revenue might be the very thing killing your salesWhat you're actually doing (and not doing) when you tell yourself you don't want to be pushy or salesyThe business model conversation that most coaches and service providers are not having — and why it matters more than your marketingThe internal shift that has to happen before any of the strategy will work — and what it means to truly see sales as serviceIf you want to take everything in this episode and put it into action live with me, I'm hosting a free three-day training — How to Sell Coaching Anytime, Anywhere (And Actually Love Doing It!) — April 28–30, 2026. We're going to work through how to talk about what you do, how to lead conversations that convert, and how to use experiential content to move people into your programs in a way that feels genuinely good. Register here: How to Sell Coaching Anytime, Anywhere (And Actually Love Doing It!)The money you want to make is not out of reach. But something is in the way — and this episode is going to tell you exactly what it is.

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet. If your content calendar is full but your client roster is empty, this episode is your wake-up call. Posting consistently without a strategy isn't marketing; it's busyness with a filter on it. In this episode, we break down the 3 User Attraction strategies from the book Nail Your Niche that every service-based business owner needs to understand before they start marketing. Whether you're pre-launch or post-launch with no traction, this episode gives you a clear framework to stop guessing and start attracting intentionally. By the end of this episode, you'll know which strategy feels most aligned with where you are right now and how to choose the right strategy based on your bandwidth, budget, and launch timeline. I pray this blesses you. .

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet. Are you holding back your lead magnet because something about it feels wrong, like you're tricking people or taking something that isn't yours? That feeling has a name, and it's a limiting belief that's quietly stalling your business before it even gets started. In this episode, we tackle the number one mindset block Christians face when it comes to User Attraction. The belief that creating a lead magnet is manipulative. Using the powerful story of Boaz and Ruth, we reframe everything because User Attraction isn't stealing, it's a value exchange. And when you create from a posture of generosity instead of fear, you don't just attract leads, you attract the right people. I pray this blesses you. .

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 but feel called to more get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their God-given calling to start a service-based business without quitting their jobs yet. Trying to start your service-based business alone? That might be the very thing slowing you down. In this episode, I share the #1 Investment Every Christian Professional Must Make To Launch A Service-Based Business Faster. If you've been stuck in research mode, piecing together information, and delaying your launch because you want to “do it right,” this episode will challenge your mindset. DIY feels safe. But safety can cost you speed. Launching a service-based business requires structure. Without sequencing, clarity, and accountability, even the most talented Christian professional can remain stuck. I pray this blesses you. .

If your messaging isn't landing… this is why.Most experts, coaches, authors, and service-based business owners don't have a strategy problem they have a truth problem.They're not fully saying what they mean. And their audience can feel it.In this episode, Tracey Watts Cirino breaks down why doubt isn't your enemy, it's the key to messaging that actually converts.You'll learn: ✨ Why your content isn't turning into clients ✨ The difference between doubt that blocks you vs. sharpens you ✨ How to say what's true in a way people actually feel (and buy)If you're done watering it down… this is for you.

"The day you start your business, you should know your exit strategy."  Host Laurie Barkman sits down with Amy Veltri, Co-Founder and CEO of NGE, an environmental and geotechnical engineering firm.

Amy shares the personal journey of weighing a third-party sale, doing nothing, or choosing a path that protected the people who helped build the business.   Celebrating 6 Years of Succession Stories This episode is part of a special milestone—celebrating 6 years of the Succession Stories Podcast.

Remember that networking event I was freaking out about a few episodes ago?I went. And honestly, it was awkward at first, but I'm so glad I didn't turn around and leave.In this episode, I'm walking you through what actually happened. The conversations that opened up new ideas I hadn't thought of. The partnership opportunity that came from just showing up. The reminder that sometimes the biggest opportunities aren't sitting behind your laptop.If you've been avoiding in-person events because they feel uncomfortable, this one's your sign to say yes to one this year.

For years, conversion copywriting has been treated as the gold standard in marketing.If the landing page converts, the copy is working…right?But what if conversion isn't actually the most important metric anymore?In this episode, I'm sharing why the copywriting is no long only about getting the sale. It also needs to speak to the right clients who stay.Because if someone buys once and disappears, something in the marketing experience was misaligned.Values-First Marketing shifts the focus from quick conversions to long-term relationships. And messaging that reflects your values clearly helps the right people recognize themselves in your work.When that alignment exists, marketing becomes easier, trust builds faster, and clients stay longer.What You Can Expect In This Episode:Why conversion rates don't tell the full story about your marketingHow Values-First Marketing filters the right clients before the saleThe concept of trust velocity and why it matters now (no one is talking about this!)The difference between fear-based urgency and inherent urgency (and why it matters for your bottom line).Why copywriting isn't actually about convincing people.If your clients are giving you a headache, this episode will help you rethink what your messaging so that it brings in your best-fit clients that you love to serve!➡️ SHOW NOTES: Grab all the links and resources mentioned in this episode on the blog here!https://www.megankachigan.com/conversion-copywriting-retention-strategyFREE RESOURCE: Copy not converting?

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 but feel called to more get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their God-given calling to start a service-based business without quitting their jobs yet. Have you been called to start a service-based business but keep waiting for the “right time”?

Here's what I unpack: Why you must start before conditions feel perfect How to think big but execute one small step at a time Why building structure before filling it leads to sustainability How to launch strategically instead of emotionally If you're a Christian professional who feels called to build with purpose and clarity, this episode will challenge how you approach starting.

A behind-the-scenes founder conversation on hiring, rebuilding culture, and stepping into leadership.Scaling a service-based business means growing more than just revenue — it means carrying the weight of people, culture, and the leadership decisions that come with growth.In this episode of The Big Dreams Great Teams Podcast, Paula Maidens is joined by entrepreneur Winnie Wu for an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about what it really takes to scale people-led businesses — especially through the messy middle of growth.Winnie has built and leads three service-based businesses, including two clinics and a coaching practice, in an industry where people are the business. In this conversation, she shares openly about an 18-month rebuild that required hiring eight practitioners in just a few weeks, navigating a toxic culture, and redefining her role as the business evolved.Together, Paula and Winnie explore the reality of leadership at scale — the emotional load founders carry, the difference between managing and leading, and why growth eventually demands a shift in how you show up in your business.This is not a highlight-reel conversation. It's a grounded, reflective discussion for business owners who are already in it — growing teams, feeling the weight of responsibility, and questioning what needs to change as their business scales.In this episode, we explore:What scaling teams actually looks like in a service-based businessHiring under pressure — including hiring eight people in a matter of weeksRebuilding culture after disruption or rapid growthThe difference between managing people and leading a growing businessHow leadership needs to evolve as team size and complexity increaseWhy generic growth advice often breaks down in people-led businessesAbout the Guest: Winnie WuWinnie Wu is a leading voice in women's health and private practice innovation. She is the founder of Movement Laboratory and Papaya Clinic, two highly regarded health clinics based in Sydney, and the creator of The Clinic Project, where she mentors clinic owners to build profitable, team-led practices.With a background in physiotherapy and a passion for challenging traditional healthcare models, Winnie blends clinical expertise, business strategy, and leadership insight.

I walk you through how I'm navigating the transition from closing down my 7-figure service-based business to starting my second service-based business without letting pride delay obedience. Here's what I unpack: Why starting again after success can feel so uncomfortable What it looks like to receive instruction without status Why process matters more than prestige How humility can become your competitive advantage How I'm overcoming what I call the “Naaman Syndrome” If you're transitioning from career success into starting a service-based business, you are not demoted. You are being developed for your next assignment. I pray this blesses you. .

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their God-given calling to start a service-based business without quitting their job. Many professionals believe the reason they haven't started their service-based business is simple: they don't have enough time. But what if that belief isn't true? In this episode, Chichi exposes the lack-of-time myth and walks you through 3 powerful mindset shifts that help you create space for the business God has called you to build without quitting your job or overhauling your life. You'll learn: Why waiting for “more time” keeps you stuck How small, intentional pockets of time add up Why your current schedule isn't the enemy How to assign and protect business time A simple framework to create 45 minutes a day to work on your business If you've been saying, “I'll start when things slow down,” this episode will lovingly challenge that belief and show you a better way forward. I pray this blesses you. .

If money feels harder than it “should” right now, this episode is your reset: you don't have a marketing problem, you have an offer clarity problem.In this conversation, I'm breaking down the foundational truth that changes everything in your coaching or service-based business: you can't sell what you can't name.And I know that sounds basic.But I'm telling you, after talking to business owners every single day, this is the pattern I see over and over again: people think they need better messaging, more leads, a stronger launch, or “visibility.”Meanwhile they can't clearly answer one question:What are you selling?I also share how my background teaching yoga shaped the way I understand offers: one class doesn't change your life, but a practice does. And your business needs to be positioned the same way.If you've been feeling stuck, fuzzy, or like your business should be working better than it is, listen to this episode. It will help you stop spinning and start selling what you're actually here to do.Because your next level isn't hiding in another funnel.It's hiding in the question you've been avoiding.In This Episode, I Talk About:Why revenue doesn't feel “easy” when you're unclear on what you're actually selling The difference between selling a modality vs. selling a transformationHow most coaches and business owners are misdiagnosing their “problem”Why people won't invest time, energy, or money if they can't picture the outcome they're buyingWhy specificity isn't a “niche trap” What “profitable” actually means in terms of business modelsHow values-driven businesses can lead right now, creating spaces of love, safety, and belonging when people need it most.If you've ever found yourself asking “why does making money feel so hard right now?”, pop your earbuds in and give this one a listen.And if you want help getting clear on it, come join me inside the Profitable Coaching Business Bootcamp (week of February 9). Replays are available, but if you can come live, do it.

If you want to own a business without wasting years figuring it out, this episode explains why franchising is the fastest on-ramp to ownership in 2026. We break down the economic tailwinds driving franchise growth, why the job market + AI shift is pushing more professionals toward control and asset-building, and why service-based franchises(home services, senior care, essential B2B) are scaling fast.Stay until the end — I share a few brands expanding in 2026 that could fit your goals and budget, plus how to evaluate “fit” the right way.

I've been watching how people choose service businesses lately and something clicked. The biggest changes coming in 2026 aren't really about marketing tactics. They're about how humans make decisions again when everything feels noisy, repetitive, and automated. Everyone keeps repeating the same predictions. AI this. Video that. But if you sell your brain, your skill, or your time, most of that advice doesn't help you. In this episode, I'm sharing four predictions for 2026 that actually matter for service-based business owners. Not trends. Not hacks. Just the shifts I see affecting how clients decide who to trust, who to hire, and who to ignore. This episode is for consultants, creatives, coaches, experts, and service professionals who want to stay relevant, visible, and chosen without turning their business into a content circus. I'm Veronica Di Polo, marketing strategist and host of the Branding Momentum Podcast, based in Moraira, Alicante, Spain, helping service-based business owners get clients with clearer words, stronger positioning, and smarter visibility.

Hey Friend, Welcome to the “Start That Business” podcast, where I help Christian women in corporate launch their first service-based business from scratch while working full-time. As the year comes to a close, I'm not preparing for the next season with more hustle, pressure, or unrealistic goals. I'm preparing by retreating with God.

In this episode of Business with Chronic Illness, I'm joined by Jason Winters, an energy alignment coach and EFT tapping practitioner, to talk about the warning signs that your business is built out of alignment, especially important for entrepreneurs managing chronic illness and unpredictable energy levels.Jason opens up about his experience with rapid business growth that felt unsustainable, from lowering his prices out of fear to over-delivering because of self-worth issues. He shares how he recognized these patterns as symptoms of deeper misalignment and the practical steps he took to restructure his business around what actually serves his life and energy.We dive into why entrepreneurs with chronic illness are particularly vulnerable to business burnout, the difference between fear (which is natural) and doubt (which comes from learned trauma responses), and Jason walks through his truth work method for clearing limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in exhausting cycles.By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with:A framework for recognizing misalignment - the specific signs that your business decisions are coming from fear instead of values, and why over-delivering often signals deeper issues.Practical tools for realignment - Jason's truth work technique for separating thoughts from feelings, plus how to check your decisions against your core values instead of external pressure.Permission to build differently - understanding why rest builds trust in your business and how to create systems that honor your natural capacity rather than fighting against it.Jason's story reminds us that sustainable business growth isn't about pushing harder; it's about building from a foundation that actually serves your energy and values from the start.Leave us a Review and share this episode with a friend.Send Me A Text & Share Your QA's or ThoughtsJoin The 5-Day Audio Series - Rooted Sales Products We Love + Special Guest Gifts → Want to support the show and treat yourself?
