I cut my costs by 60% and tripled my output, without working a single extra hour. Here is the truth about moving my business from Singapore to Malaysia. In this video, I'm pulling back the curtain on why I left Singapore for Johor Bahru (JB) and how it actually impacted my business. We're talking real numbers: going from a $8,000/month rent in Singapore to a 6,000 sq. ft. home in Malaysia for just $1,600 (SGD equivalent). But this isn't just about the 3:1 exchange rate or cheaper groceries. It's about "geographic permission." I'll show you the 6-phase In-Demand Accelerator System I used to build a business that doesn't care where I'm sitting. Whether you're an entrepreneur feeling "tethered" to your local networking scene or a coach wanting to scale globally, these 6 assets are the key to true location independence. In this video, you'll learn: - The "USD Income vs. MYR Expense" math that changed everything. - Why being "busy" in Singapore was actually killing my momentum. - The 6 In-Demand Assets: From Million Dollar Messaging to Automated Funnels. - How to use AI to turn one hour of work into 30 pieces of content.

The women in tech promotion gap is real—but it's not random. High-performing women in tech are still being overlooked for leadership roles, even as they deliver exceptional results. In this episode of Leading Women in Tech, we dive into the gender bias in tech leadership, the shift in workplace culture, and the strategic moves you need to close the gap—without losing yourself. Why are women in tech not getting promoted at the same rate as their male peers? The answer isn't about competence; it's about perception, positioning, and politics. We'll explore: The promotion gap in the tech industry and why it persists, especially at Director-to-VP transitions. How executive presence for women and leadership visibility can shift how you're perceived. The difference between mentorship and sponsorship—and why the latter is critical for advancement. Navigating bro culture in tech without compromising your authenticity. Sustainable executive leadership: How to build influence capital without burning out. This episode is for you if: ✔ You're a Passed-Over High-Performer delivering results but not seeing advancement. ✔ You're a Strategically Focused On Rising, and getting ready to step into executive leadership—but need a roadmap. ✔ You refuse to trade ambition for comfort or shrink in the face of pushback. Key Takeaways: Promotion is a strategic game. Hard work alone won't close the gap—you need positioning, visibility, and sponsorship. Executive presence isn't about personality—it's about framing your work in business impact language. Sponsorship > Mentorship. Advocates in high places are your ticket to the next level.

After spending three weeks co-hosting the NEXT conference across Perth, Brisbane, and Melbourne, I walked away with a perspective shift that I didn't expect. Working alongside four other coaches with completely different strengths challenged me to reflect on collaboration, leadership, and what it really takes to create something meaningful in our industry. This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at the lessons that surfaced for me – both professionally and personally – while bringing this event to life.I share what it truly costs to show up at that level, especially when public speaking doesn't come naturally. From the nervous energy of being on stage to the emotional and mental demands of leading conversations that matter, this experience reinforced how important it is to protect our energy and design businesses that don't rely on us operating at maximum intensity all the time. Systems, delegation, support, and technology are no longer nice-to-haves – they're the foundations of sustainable leadership.We also explore the bigger shift happening inside the property management industry right now. The outdated identity of property management being the “support act” to sales is disappearing, replaced by a new generation of leaders building profitable, systemised, and forward-thinking businesses. More than anything, this experience reminded me that none of us have to build in isolation anymore. When ambitious people come together to share ideas, challenge thinking, and support each other's growth, the entire industry moves forward.“This industry is maturing and we are no longer in survival mode. We're in expansion mode. And collaboration reminded me of something really powerful. When you surround yourself with other ambitious, generous, intelligent people. You rise faster. Isolation keeps you small. Believe me, I spent almost a decade in isolation. But collaboration expands you.” - Kylie WalkerWe cover:Balancing career and family in the property management industryEmpowering women in property managementInsights from the NEXT conference experienceImportance of collaboration and embracing individual strengthsManaging energy and avoiding burnout in high-intensity environmentsThe evolving future of property management with technology and human relationshipsShifting perceptions of property management as a valuable professionThe rise of property management professionals as entrepreneurs and strategic thinkersAvailability of support and resources for property management professionalsEmphasizing the importance of community and collaboration for growth and successKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Find out about our Done for You Lead Generation - https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/done-for-you-leads-discovery-call35 AI Prompts to help you Grow your Business on Social Media: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/35-prompts-to-grow-your-property-management-business-on-social-mediahttps://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/5-misktakes-replayDigital Marketing and AI Academyhttps://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalmarketingyesIf you are ready to see what's NEXT in Property Management, join five amazing industry coaches, hosting one epic event, in three locations - NEXT.Buy your Tickets here: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/nextConnect With Kylie:Follow Kylie Walker on Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/thatpropertymum_/Follow Kylie on Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/thatpropertymumConnect with Kylie on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylie-wal...Explore Kylie's Website - https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/Watch Kylie on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thatpropertymum

What happens after you build a fully booked massage practice… and realize that's not the end goal? In this interview, I sit down with Cody and Allyson of Two Hearts Bodywork to unpack what it really takes to grow beyond six figures in a massage therapy business without burning out your body or sacrificing your freedom. From launching their brick-and-mortar practice with no safety net… To raising prices three times in two years… To building recurring revenue through memberships… To scaling into online income, digital products, and mentorship… This conversation pulls back the curtain on what entrepreneurship can look like in 2026. Inside this episode, we dive into: • How to monetize an audience as a massage therapist • Why "fully booked" isn't the final level of success • Creating semi-passive income with digital products • Designing a 15-day work month while increasing revenue • Building systems that allow maternity leave, travel, and true time freedom • When (and why) to scale your practice with a team • The mindset shifts required to move from scarcity to abundance • Why mentorship is the fastest shortcut to business growth Cody and Allyson share the honest evolution from hands-on practitioners to multi-revenue-stream entrepreneurs including the fears they had around hiring, scaling, and stepping into bigger rooms with bigger business owners. If you're a massage therapist, bodyworker, or wellness business owner who wants more income, more freedom, and more control over your time, this episode will challenge the way you think about success. Because being fully booked is great. But designing your life? That's next level.

Showing up online can feel exhausting when you're doing all the “right” things and still not seeing traction. In this episode, I'm unpacking one of the biggest questions I hear from property managers and business owners right now: should you be building a corporate brand or a personal brand? With social platforms more crowded than ever, visibility isn't about being louder or more polished – it's about being more human, more intentional, and more connected.I break down why personal brands create stronger trust, deeper relationships, and warmer conversations than business pages alone. We talk about how showing the person behind the brand actually strengthens your business, not undermines it, and why clarity, consistency, and lived experience are your biggest differentiators online. This isn't about becoming an influencer or oversharing your life – it's about being known for what you stand for and how you think.This episode is an equal parts mindset shift and practical guidance for anyone who wants to grow their business without burning out or hiding behind a logo. Whether you're a property manager, leader, or agency owner, this conversation will help you rethink how you show up, what you want to be known for, and how to build trust in a digital world that's craving real leadership. ”People don't connect with businesses. They connect with people." - Kylie WalkerWe cover:Balancing career and family in the property management industryStrategies for growing a property management businessOvercoming fear and boosting confidence in professional settingsThe importance of mindset in achieving successDifferences between personal branding and corporate brandingWhy personal brands tend to outperform corporate brands onlineThe role of trust in service-based and relationship-driven industriesKey elements of a successful personal brand (clarity, consistency, perspective, authenticity, and value)The impact of social media algorithms on personal versus corporate brandingThe significance of showing up authentically in a crowded online spaceKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie:

Kenton shares his unconventional career journey, from agronomy student to superintendent to earning his MBA and CCM, while challenging long-held assumptions about silos in club operations. The conversation dives deep into education versus experience, the real value of advanced degrees, and how continued learning helps superintendents earn credibility in the boardroom. Kenton explains how exposure to club management disciplines reshaped the way he leads people, collaborates with department heads, and measures performance across his team. Listeners also gain a behind-the-scenes look at Mid Ocean's progressive people-development systems, including skills matrices, performance scorecards, emotional intelligence tracking, and learning-and-development investment.

Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
You have not lost your edge. You've outgrown a growth strategy built for a smaller version of you.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. Season 7 of the Move to Millions Podcast is about pulling back the curtain on a truth most CEOs are never told: success is not the problem. For many high-achieving entrepreneurs, the tension, heaviness, or resistance they feel as they grow is not a sign they are doing something wrong. It is a signal that who they are becoming is asking for a different way of leading. If you've been following the formulas, doing the work, and still wondering why growth feels heavier than it should, this episode is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. This conversation goes beyond tactics and strategies and into the deeper work of identity and divine wiring, revealing why effort alone eventually stops working and what actually allows success to expand without costing you your peace, alignment, or sense of self. Here's the truth: Success doesn't create safety. It exposes the absence of it. Most leaders don't fail from lack of strategy, they fail because their internal capacity hasn't caught up to their external results. That's the silent sabotage happening in most seven-figure businesses. You'll walk with a radically new lens on your next level, one that prioritizes your divine wiring, nervous system regulation, and the necessity of internal congruence. You'll understand why your current tension is not a sign of failure—it's a signal that you're ready for a new kind of leadership and that your ascension has already begun. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to recognize when your business model is no longer serving the version of you you've become ✔ How to discern the difference between strategic expansion and spiritual misalignment ✔ How to lead from embodiment rather than exhaustion at the seven-figure level ✔And so much more This episode is a call to release the outdated belief that more effort is the answer to expansion. If you've outgrown your old success strategies but don't yet trust what's next, this is your moment. It's time to set the tone for a new kind of seven-figure leadership: one anchored in alignment, identity, and internal safety. This is your invitation to stop forcing strategy to carry what only your nervous system can hold. You've evolved, but are you still running a business that reflects an earlier version of you? You'll hear the deeper reason success starts to feel like pressure, and what it means when your business is growing but your identity hasn't caught up. This conversation ignites the recalibration required to lead from your wholeness, not your hustle.

Capacity is.” — Dr. Darnyelle “Strategy assumes your nervous system can hold the outcomes you're pursuing.” — Dr. Darnyelle “Seven figures was never the destination. It was always the doorway.” — Dr. Darnyelle “Success doesn't automatically create safety—it removes the illusion of it.” — Dr. Darnyelle “Your strategy hasn't failed. Your identity just hasn't expanded to match it yet.” — Dr. Darnyelle Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Am I building a business that reflects the current version of who I am? Does my nervous system feel safe holding the level of success I've already achieved? Is my strategy compensating for an identity I haven't fully stepped into? What am I carrying that I was never meant to hold? What would shift if I led from my divine wiring instead of external pressure? Want more of Darnyelle?

Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
This episode is powered by The Seven Figure Shift 3-Day Workshop with Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Your business will always expose what you haven't healed." Darnyelle Jervey Harmon It's not your funnel. It's not your launch. It's not your marketing or your team. It's your nervous system. In this final installment of the For the Love of Money series, Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon pulls back the veil on the hidden forces sabotaging your revenue, no matter how brilliant you are or how many millions you've made. If you've ever felt stalled, burned out from striving, or stuck in a silent spiral of sabotage... this episode is going to feel like spiritual surgery. We go deep into the three invisible money traps that plague high-level CEOs, and why the real cost isn't just missed revenue, but missed purpose, peace, and legacy. If you're a 7-figure CEO in the making, or already at seven but silently circling six, this conversation is your mirror, your map, and your mandate to move. We don't do surface-level here. We excavate patterns, confront your subconscious thermostat, and call in the healing required for your next level. Here's the truth: You cannot build legacy in a body that doesn't feel safe with overflow. Until you address your nervous system's rejection of abundance, your strategy will keep stalling, and you'll keep thinking it's a business problem when it's really a money identity crisis. Scaling without safety isn't leadership. It's survival. And that pattern ends here. You'll walk with a visceral understanding of why your income keeps resetting, no matter how hard you work, the three survival-mode traps successful entrepreneurs unconsciously fall into, a new lens for viewing launches, hiring, pricing, and burnout through a nervous system and spiritual healing framework and clear next steps to begin healing your money trauma, and a powerful invitation into the only container designed to do just that: SANCTUARY. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to recognize when your growth ceiling is actually a safety ceiling, not a strategy gap ✔ How to identify whether you're stuck in the Stall, the Strive, or the Sabotage pattern ✔ How to shift from money-based panic into identity-based overflow using spiritual and somatic integration ✔And so much more This episode is a call to put your strategy down long enough to get honest about what's really running your business behind the scenes: your unhealed money story. Dr. Darnyelle doesn't just name the subconscious sabotage patterns holding you back, she brings receipts, neuroscience, scripture, and personal stories to show you the real reason your growth feels stuck, stalled, or suffocating. This is spiritual alignment meets somatic safety meets unapologetic truth. And it's everything you didn't know you needed before you scale again. This is your invitation to stop pushing. Stop performing. Drop the mask, press play, and listen like your future depends on it, because it does. If you've built the business but your peace is bankrupt, or you've hit new revenue highs but secretly feel more pressure than prosperity, this episode will explain why… and show you how to heal it.

Do I consistently undercharge, overgive, or procrastinate—despite knowing better? Have I ever burned down something good and called it a pivot? Is my nervous system conditioned to associate overflow with danger, not safety? Which of the three patterns (Stall, Strive, Sabotage) am I most unconsciously living in? Want more of Darnyelle?
