Podcasts about service based business

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”? In this episode, I share how God's creation principles in Genesis 1 have reshaped the way I think about launching a business — especially while still working a 9-to-5. I walk you through how I see God's order, strategy, and intentionality as a blueprint for building something sustainable from the very beginning. 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. I pray this blesses you. . Mentioned In Today's Episode Join the Arise and Shine Prayer Call @ 5 am CST | 6 am EST Join the Arise and Shine 365 Challenge .

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.

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 built career success but now feel called to start a service-based business? In this episode, I share what I'm calling The Naaman Blueprint — a 3-step framework drawn from 2 Kings 5 that has been reshaping how I approach starting again. 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).

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.

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?

Points of Interest0:00 – 1:05 – Introduction: Marcel introduces Stephen Neville, CEO of BugHerd, highlighting his background in agency work and his transition into running a SaaS company that helps agencies streamline QA and client feedback.2:24 – 3:10 – The Dream of SaaS: Marcel and Stephen discuss the allure many agency owners feel toward building a product, inspired by success stories like 37signals—often without fully grasping the implications.5:30 – 7:10 – Major Model Differences: Stephen outlines key contrasts between service and product businesses, including delayed ROI in SaaS, the shift from clients to customers, and the challenge of proving value before seeing returns.8:02 – 9:09 – Saying No at Scale: Product businesses require frequent, disciplined “no's” to user feedback—unlike services, where agencies are more likely to say yes. This shift is critical to managing scope and long-term product health.10:14 – 11:02 – Why Agencies Want to Pivot: Common motives include stabilizing revenue, creating proof of expertise, and giving teams opportunities for skill development—though not all transitions are strategically sound.13:19 – 14:04 – Common SaaS Misconceptions: Marcel highlights flawed assumptions—such as SaaS needing less human capital or being less client-facing—debunking the idea that software removes the need for people.16:20 – 17:01 – SaaS Risk Profile: The risk and financial exposure of building SaaS is often underestimated, with founders needing to endure potentially years of losses before seeing profitability.21:15 – 22:53 – Lessons to Apply in Services: Stephen emphasizes adopting the SaaS discipline of qualifying and deflecting misaligned client requests, to protect team capacity and maintain healthy utilization.24:01 – 24:59 – Productization Without Code: Agencies can create repeatable, value-rich offerings by productizing existing services—without building software—through structured, process-driven deliverables.28:29 – 30:20 – The Real MVP Framework: Marcel shares his “Three Ps” framework—Problem, Point of View, and Process—as the true foundation for product development, arguing services are the best way to validate solutions.33:01 – 34:46 – Services as a SaaS Growth Lever: Stephen explains how services improve acquisition, onboarding, and retention—especially for enterprise clients—making them a strategic tool, not a liability.35:46 – 37:25 – Monetizing Services in SaaS: The conversation closes on the growing trend of SaaS companies charging for implementation and support, reframing these formerly free functions as value-rich offerings worth paying for.Show NotesConnect with Stephen via LinkedInWebsite – Bugherd.com

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.
