In this solo episode, Alex Quin fires up the Hustle Inspires Hustle community with a reality check about procrastination and goal-setting. He emphasizes why waiting for January to start pursuing your goals is a trap and explains how momentum built in the last stretch of the year leads to long-term success. Alex offers a personal pep talk to help listeners assess their progress, realign their vision, and set clear intentions for the rest of 2025 and beyond.Episode Outline:[00:00] – Intro: Why waiting for January is a mistake[00:22] – The cost of waiting and procrastinating on goals[00:48] – Check your 2025 goals: what's working, what's not[01:18] – Do your audit: finances, health, business, mindset[01:46] – Don't waste Q4: fix the gaps, build momentum[02:10] – What a strong finish gives you: peace, freedom, cash flow[02:38] – Start planning for 2026 now[03:03] – Align with your partner or team[03:24] – Final word: stop surviving, start living with intentionWisdom Nuggets:Stop Worshipping the Calendar: Waiting for a date like January 1st to take action is an excuse disguised as a plan.

Look at your current goals and get honest about where you're winning and where you're behind.Purpose Over Panic: Finishing the year strong isn't about panic hustling—it's about creating meaningful outcomes like peace, cash flow, and confidence.Talk Like a Team: If you're in a relationship, your success plan shouldn't be a solo mission.

Episode 189: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-freeMost online entrepreneurs struggle to clearly articulate their high-ticket offer, leaving prospects confused and uncertain—which kills conversions. Without a concise way to communicate your value, you're left overexplaining, value-stacking bonuses that feel like work, and wondering why no one's buying.In this episode, Stirling Gardner teaches us how to sell any high-ticket offer using his "One Slide Offer" framework—a visual method that delivers your pitch in under five minutes. He breaks down the three parts of every offer, reveals why speaking to the problems prospects think they have (not the ones you know they have) transforms your messaging, and explains how certainty drives buying decisions.About Stirling Gardner: Stirling spent 22 years as a Hollywood storyteller before discovering his calling at the intersection of psychology, narrative, and mathematics. After Hollywood, he ran ads and then an agency with performance-based pricing—a model that taught him every piece of the marketing equation. He realized even seven-figure entrepreneurs often lacked clarity on what they were selling. They had products and traffic, but no message that made it click. Somewhere in the chaos, he had an epiphany: the entire system was like a quadratic equation he could visualize—every lever, every input, and how small tweaks could unlock massive revenue.Today, he operates as a Chief Revenue Officer in a box, helping entrepreneurs extract their genius and turn it into offers the world wants to buy. His superpower is seeing the full picture—product, positioning, pricing, promotion, and performance—and immediately knowing how to package and pitch it. He lives in Asheville, NC with his wife and dog Bear, bringing simplicity and truth to every business he touches.Grab Stirling's 1-Slide Offer training here: https://1slideoffer.com/Connect with Stirling: IG: @stirlinggardner FB: https://www.facebook.com/stirlinggardnerofficial LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stirlinggardner/Want to SCALE your online business bigger and faster without the endless hustle of networking, referrals, and pumping out content that nobody sees?Grab our Ultimate Ad Script for Coaches, Agencies, and Course Creators.Learn the exact 5-step script we teach our clients that allows them to generate targeted, high-quality leads at ultra-low cost, so you can land paying customers and clients without breaking the bank on ad spend.

Referrals are powerful but what happens when they dry up?

Social media doesn't just attract new clients. It also supports referrals by reinforcing credibility when prospects research your brand online.

In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin breaks down practical, actionable strategies to help both e-commerce and service-based businesses succeed during Black Friday. He emphasizes the importance of keeping offers simple—such as clear tiered discounts or urgency-based service upgrades—to reduce friction and improve conversions. Alex stresses that successful marketing goes beyond flashy ads; it's about preparation across your funnel, creative assets, and backend systems. From fast-loading product pages to tight onboarding flows and accurate CRM tracking, every part of the customer journey needs to be ready.He also dives into content strategy and ad execution, encouraging brands to repurpose their top-performing content from earlier in the year with updated Black Friday messaging. Volume matters—especially with Meta's new Andromeda update—so having multiple creatives pre-approved and scheduled can lower costs and reduce last-minute stress. Whether paid or organic, campaigns should be well-structured and tracked meticulously. The core message? Black Friday isn't about hype—it's about execution, efficiency, and data-driven decisions.Episode Outline: [00:00] Welcome Back: Alex thanks listeners and sets up the Black Friday topic [00:15] Importance of Simplicity: Easy-to-understand offers and discounts [00:45] Service Business Tips: Creating urgency with bonuses and intro deals [01:10] Creative Strategy: Bold visuals, testimonials, and multi-format content [01:45] Funnel Tips: Fast product pages, clean checkout, single-action landing pages [02:10] Backend Systems: Fulfillment, calendar space, CRM, and onboarding readiness [02:40] Financial Modeling: Know your margins, track all costs [03:05] Repurposing Content: Use your best-performing content with new Black Friday angles [03:30] Meta Update & Scheduling: More creatives = lower cost; schedule everything early [04:00] Post-Purchase & Tracking: Upsells, LTV, CRM follow-ups, and clean analytics [04:20] Final Thought: Black Friday is about preparation, not just hypeWisdom Nuggets:Simplicity Sells: Your offer should be instantly understandable. Whether it's tiered discounts or bundled services, remove friction—no mental math or coupon codes.Urgency Wins: Black Friday thrives on limited-time offers. Add urgency through countdowns, limited bonuses, or time-sensitive upgrades to drive faster conversions.Prep the Back End: A killer front-end campaign fails without backend support. From ecom fulfillment to service onboarding systems, preparation prevents revenue leaks.Repurpose to Scale: Your best content from earlier in the year is your blueprint. Reuse proven assets with Black Friday messaging instead of creating from scratch.Track Everything or Risk Everything: If your data is off, your scaling efforts will fail.

How to Simplify Your Social Media Marketing and Attract Inquiries (without posting everywhere) I recorded this right after Facebook awarded me an “Emerging Talent” badge — and it got me thinking about how to use social media in a way that actually works for therapists. In this episode, I share how I simplify my marketing, why I only focus on one platform, and the exact approach I use to consistently attract inquiries without spending hours online. If you're tired of creating endless Canva posts that don't convert, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. This one is for women in private practice — counsellors, psychologists, social workers, accredited mental health social workers, and play therapists — who want a simpler, calmer approach to marketing that still brings in clients. I talk about niching (and how it makes content effortless), why Facebook often works better than Instagram for our field, and how to “show not tell” your expertise so potential clients feel connected and safe reaching out. You'll walk away knowing how to pick one platform, post less but connect more, and create trust through genuine conversations — not algorithms. I also talk about authenticity, karma, and why giving freely online actually leads to more aligned clients.   Links mentioned in this episode Practice Momentum (12-month private, high-touch support): https://sales.brooklynstorme.com/momentum/ Website Wellness Check (video audit to improve inquiries): https://sales.brooklynstorme.com/website-wellness-check-up-aud/ Booked & Better Monthly Private Practice Tools: https://sales.brooklynstorme.com/booked--better/ The Ultimate Private Practice | Free Community for Therapists: https://sales.brooklynstorme.com/ultimate-private-practice-free-community/ The Un-Discovery Call: https://sales.brooklynstorme.com/un-discovery-call/ Website: https://www.brooklynstorme.com   Timestamps 00:00 Welcome to The Private Practice Podcast 00:22 Why I created Practice Momentum 01:04 My morning routine and plans for the day 01:59 Facebook's “Emerging Talent” badge 03:15 Why most therapists' socials don't get inquiries 04:22 The two reasons mine works 05:42 How niching down makes content easy 07:06 Who my ideal client really is 09:43 Why so many therapists feel confused and stuck 13:22 Why Facebook outperforms Instagram for therapists 15:21 What actually stops the scroll 17:22 Understanding the numbers and conversion rates 18:52 Facebook as a place for connection 22:17 Dropping the pressure to sell and just being you 28:27 Giving your best content freely 31:59 Setting realistic expectations 33:45 The importance of website optimisation 35:57 Abundance, karma, and attracting aligned clients 38:35 Posting less but connecting more 39:15 Managing your marketing expectations 41:29 What (and what not) to share in Facebook groups 47:20 Why link-dropping reduces reach 51:22 You're always marketing — intentionally or not 58:28 How your behaviour online builds or breaks trust 1:03:29 Authenticity clients can actually feel 1:08:57 How I practise transparency with clients 1:11:24 Connection over polish — especially with AI everywhere 1:12:24 Where to find me and how to get help   Action step for a quick win Pick one Facebook group your ideal client is already in.

Automation should be used in a way to make space for real connection. TWO. Your email list is still your most valuable marketing asset—and you're underutilizing the best tools to grow your email list.So let's talk about using ManyChat strategically—as the bridge between casual Instagram engagement and real, human relationships that actually convert.
