From grassroots soccer parks to $600 million exits, Marty M. Fahncke reveals why every dollar of EBITDA sacrificed for tax savings costs you seven on a multiple, how the build versus buy decision needs a reality check, and why a business fully prepared to sell is the best business to own. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Marty M. Fahncke, CMAA, who has helped hundreds of businesses scale to over $1 billion in combined revenue and executed nearly $500 million in M&A deals. He is the founder of Westbound Road, an M&A advisory firm specializing in digital businesses in the $5-50 million range, and author of Boomer Sells the Business: A Step-by-Step Guide to Cashing Out and Living Large. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why the build versus buy analysis fails when founders underestimate timelines and costs, and why opportunity cost is often the biggest expense that never appears in spreadsheets. Marty explains how combining marketing expertise with M&A strategy creates advantages most advisors lack, the costly trade-off between profit maximization and tax mitigation that saves twenty cents but costs seven dollars on a multiple, and why operational decisions like CRM selection or staffing structure can kill deals worth millions. You'll also learn how the Who Not How philosophy transforms into a powerful acquisition playbook, why SaaS founders who turned down $50 million in 2021 are accepting those valuations were an anomaly, and how authority marketing through podcasts generates clients who arrive ready to sign without sales conversations. MARTY'S JOURNEY: Marty grew up in the mountains of Utah wanting to be either a forest ranger or join the military. Neither path worked out, and he ended up on the entrepreneur path instead. Even as a teenager, he showed entrepreneurial instincts, selling water purifiers and vacuums and running a bicycle rehab business at age twelve. M&A was completely off his radar until he and some friends started a soccer training product company. They took a truly grassroots approach, setting up canopies at local parks every weekend where kids played soccer. Marty had his children demonstrate the product while he sold to parents. Those park sessions taught them exactly what messaging resonated. Marty used those insights to create a marketing campaign that got the product onto QVC in the United States and Japan. Just eighteen months in, they received an unsolicited $1.5 million offer from a private equity firm buying their proven QVC sales channel. His next deal flipped the approach. Instead of building from scratch, Marty and a partner combined two competing businesses, each doing $1.5-2 million in revenue. By eliminating competition and consolidating operations, they scaled from under $4 million to $30 million in two years. That company eventually became part of a $600 million exit through a reverse merger. After that exit, Marty built a personal portfolio of businesses. In 2019, he focused on M&A full-time. When 2020 hit, he saw opportunity in the chaos. He reached out to companies about selling, and economic uncertainty generated many yes responses. When businesses weren't right for his portfolio, sellers asked if he knew other buyers. He started triangulating deals, brought in partner Becky, and launched Westbound Road in 2020. They focus exclusively on digital businesses between $5 and $50 million, including e-commerce, SaaS, publishing, marketing agencies, and virtual professional services. The firm is intentionally small at five people but highly specialized. THE MARKETER'S EDGE: Marty brings a rare combination of world-class marketing expertise and deep M&A experience. Most advisors excel at one or the other, rarely both. He is a marketer at heart and applies marketing principles to M&A strategy. This matters because organic growth drives valuation multiples. Buyers pay premiums for demonstrated growth momentum, often adding an extra turn or two on exit multiples. Marty sees both sides of the equation, knowing how to build marketing systems that drive organic growth and how to structure deals that accelerate inorganic expansion. KEY INSIGHTS: The build versus buy decision requires brutal honesty. Marty sees unreasonable optimism every time founders analyze whether to build or acquire. His rule: double the timeline, triple the costs. Even then, most analyses miss opportunity cost. What revenue will you lose spending years building? What market share will competitors capture while you're distracted? These costs rarely appear in spreadsheets but are often the most expensive part of the build decision. The Who Not How philosophy becomes an acquisition playbook. When something needs to be done, don't ask how you can learn it yourself. Find someone already better at it and acquire them. Marty applied this when a bookkeeping firm asked for growth help. Instead of consulting fees, he negotiated equity, brought marketing expertise and clients, they tripled revenue, and everyone won when they sold. Profit maximization beats tax mitigation. Every dollar of EBITDA sacrificed to save taxes saves twenty cents but costs seven dollars on a multiple when you sell. When Marty shows clients this math, they immediately shift strategies. This insight often represents millions in additional exit value. Begin with the buyer in mind. Westbound Road identifies upfront who will buy your business and why, then builds the business to suit those buyers. Every decision from CRM selection to staffing structure gets evaluated through one lens: how will this impact deal viability at exit? Minor operational choices can kill deals worth millions. A client built operations entirely on offshore VAs with impressive margins, but many buyers walked away. To command their target multiple, they needed to onshore roles and add W-2 employees. Another business chose a non-standard CRM. An acquirer walked away because integrating it created too much friction. That preference cost millions. The SaaS valuation bubble is being accepted as an anomaly. In 2021-2022, founders got $50 million offers for businesses worth $12 million today. Many refused, expecting the market to stay hot. Marty shows them the charts: the market returned to historical norms, and eighteen months was a bubble. Those founders are finally accepting realistic valuations. Authority marketing creates pre-sold clients. When prospects ask questions, Marty's team sends time-coded podcast links. Prospects listen to full episodes, then more episodes, and arrive ready to sign without sales calls. His first ChatGPT client found Westbound Road via AI recommendation, watched three episodes, and asked where to sign. A business fully prepared to sell is the best business to own. The best practices for creating enterprise value that commands premium multiples are the same practices that make a business pleasurable to operate. Clean financials, reduced owner dependency, autonomous systems, and strategic structure benefit owners whether they sell or not. Perfect for business owners in the $5-50 million range planning exits, entrepreneurs considering M&A advisory relationships, and anyone interested in combining marketing expertise with deal-making to build and sell businesses.

There's a big difference between being busy and building something that lasts. Many entrepreneurs don't realize they're stuck in that gap. They're working hard, juggling responsibilities, hustling nights and weekends — but the business isn't really moving forward. In this episode of Building Better Developers, Army veteran and founder of Skillful Brands, Antwon Person, breaks down what actually creates forward momentum in a business. And it's not hype, hacks, or grinding harder. It's mindset, structure, and knowing when to leverage. The Entrepreneurial Mindset Isn't About Hustle — It's About Structure When Antwon left a 22-year military career and stepped into entrepreneurship, he brought discipline and leadership with him. What he discovered quickly, though, was that discipline alone doesn't build a company. Like many new entrepreneurs, he was busy. Very busy. But busy didn't mean structured. He realized something that most founders eventually learn the hard way: being busy in your business does not build a business. You can answer emails all day. You can tweak branding, post on social media, and chase opportunities. But without structure underneath those actions, you're just reacting — not building. That realization changed everything. Instead of chasing more tactics, he looked for clarity — and found it by connecting with someone who already had a blueprint. Momentum without structure leads to burnout. Structure without momentum leads to stagnation. The entrepreneurial mindset requires both — in the right order. Why Your First Mentor Doesn't Need to Be in Your Industry There's a common mistake new entrepreneurs make: assuming they need a mentor who does exactly what they do. Antwon disagrees — at least in the beginning. When you're building the foundation of a business, the fundamentals are universal. Every business needs clear goals, defined processes, the right mindset, and repeatable systems. At the early stage, what you need most isn't industry secrets — it's business fundamentals. He sees too many entrepreneurs jumping into advanced marketing tactics before they've validated their structure. They're polishing something that hasn't been built properly yet. It's like trying to optimize a machine that hasn't been assembled. Don't work on Phase 3 problems while you're still in Phase 1. Build proof of principle first. Everything else comes after. Once your foundation is solid and revenue is predictable, niche-specific coaching becomes powerful. But without a base, advanced tactics won't stick. The $10K Rule and the Leverage Phase One of the most practical insights from this conversation is Antwon's revenue-based approach to scaling. Up to around $10K per month, many entrepreneurs can manage operations solo — if they have structure. Beyond that point, things change. The workload compounds, communication increases, tasks multiply. Growth creates friction. That's where leverage becomes necessary. Instead of calling it "growth mode," Antwon frames it as entering the leverage phase — and that shift in language matters. Leverage means delegation, systems that support scale, clear onboarding, and defined ownership. Without it, revenue growth just creates exhaustion. With it, growth becomes sustainable. Hiring help isn't about spending money. It's about buying back focus and multiplying capacity. Why Hiring a VA Feels Hard — and How to Fix It For many entrepreneurs, hiring a virtual assistant feels overwhelming. There's hesitation: Will they understand what I need? Is it worth the cost? Will this just create more work for me? Antwon has lived through that. In the early stages, bringing on VAs felt like adding another job to his plate — confusion, repetition, miscommunication. The problem wasn't the VA. It was the lack of onboarding and structure. So he built a system. Now, every VA goes through a clear onboarding process, alignment with company mission and goals, defined task management inside tools like Monday or Asana, and screen-recorded walkthroughs for clarity. Instead of typing long explanations, he records a short screen demo showing exactly what he wants done and attaches it to the task. That single change reduced confusion dramatically. He also emphasizes ownership — VAs aren't treated like task robots, they're treated like team members. That shift alone changes performance. Stop Networking to Sell — Start Networking to Serve Too many entrepreneurs approach networking with one goal: sell. Antwon flips that completely. When he meets someone new, he focuses on learning who they are, understanding what partners they're looking for, offering value first, and leveraging connections instead of pushing services. He even shared a small but practical tactic he picked up in a free mastermind group — placing a QR code on his Zoom background so people could instantly access his information. Not a sales pitch. A friction reducer. And those small adjustments compound over time. The strongest networks aren't built on transactions. They're built on trust, value, and long-term reciprocity. Side Hustle vs. Company: The Real Mindset Shift One of the most important distinctions Antwon makes is between running a business and building a company. A business depends on you. A company operates beyond you. A business can generate income. A company can generate legacy. If your goal is supplemental income, operating as a side hustle may be fine. But if your goal is generational wealth or long-term impact, the mindset must shift. You have to design something that can function without your constant involvement — documented systems, delegated responsibilities, clear structure, leadership beyond yourself. And that shift starts internally. Because the hardest part of entrepreneurship isn't marketing or operations. It's believing you don't have to do it all yourself. The Real Blocker Is Mindset Throughout this episode, one theme keeps resurfacing: mindset is the biggest barrier. Not lack of information. Not a lack of opportunity. Mindset. Entrepreneurs stall because they listen to too many voices, hesitate to start, refuse to delegate, treat a business like a hobby, or avoid structure. Once the mindset shifts, everything else becomes simpler. Not easy — but simpler. Final Takeaway If you feel stuck in your business right now, ask yourself: Are you building something structured — or just staying busy? Have you proven your foundation? Have you entered the leverage phase? Or are you still operating like a side hustle when your goal is a company? Forward momentum doesn't come from more hustle. It comes from clarity, structure, and the willingness to step into the next phase of growth. That's the entrepreneurial mindset shift that changes everything.

What if the thing standing between you and total lifestyle freedom… was just one business acquisition? A former respiratory therapist and a software developer – no entrepreneurial experience, no roadmap, no idea what they were doing – decided to bet on themselves anyway. And now? They're running a lean team of 11 VAs from wherever in the world they feel like being that week. Guatemala last month. St. Kitts for their anniversary. Belize next. You get the picture. In this episode, Jaryd Krause sits down with Alan and Mel, a husband-and-wife duo who tried every side hustle in the book – financial lending, credit repair, online teaching – before discovering that buying an existing online business was the shortcut they'd been exhausting themselves looking for. They used SBA financing to acquire a $1.2M business with just $65K out of pocket. They inherited 2 VAs and a chaotic operation. They were working 60-hour weeks at the start. And then – systematically, strategically – they rebuilt it, scaled it, and sold it. Profitably. Now they're already under LOI for their next deal. Here's what makes their story different though. Neither of them had ever owned a business before. One was in healthcare. One was in tech but still didn't think you could buy something you couldn't physically touch. They were scared, skeptical, and figuring it out in real time. Sound familiar? If you've ever wondered whether someone like YOU could actually pull this off – this episode is your answer. Hit play. You'll want to hear this one.

If you've ever ended a packed, exhausting day and still felt like nothing really got done, this episode is going to name exactly what's happening and give you a framework to finally fix it.

I took on my last OBM client even though I saw red flags on the discovery call. I needed the income, so I dismissed the tingles and took her on anyway. It was not great. Not great at all.Here's what nobody tells you about discovery calls: You're not a candidate hoping to get picked. You're a business owner deciding whether this is someone you want to work with. It's a two-way decision.In this episode, I'm sharing five questions to ask on discovery calls that will reveal whether someone is actually a good fit, what red flags to watch for, and why the real solution isn't better questions, it's having a clear offer that pre-qualifies people before they even book the call.Because when your offer is clear enough, you shift from "audition mode" to "vibe check mode."⚡️ New free resource: 10-minute Scaled Chaos Assessment at dancingleafsolutions.com/chaosSend a textThank you for being a part of the Soulpreneur Scaling Stories community, where VAs & OBMs turn unstructured expertise into a signature method and a business that pays them for outcomes, not hours.

Hay algo más peligroso que estar desmotivada…  Estar inspirada… pero no moverte. En este episodio hablamos del ciclo invisible que mantiene a muchas mujeres brillantes atrapadas en el gap de la activación emocional y la inmovilidad real. Vas a entender qué está pasando en tu cerebro cuando te sientes inspirada después de escuchar algo poderoso, pero días después nada cambia. Desde la neurociencia exploramos el papel de la dopamina, el sistema de recompensa y la disonancia interna que aparece cuando prometes más de lo que ejecutas. Si reconoces que puedes más pero no te estás moviendo al nivel que sabes que puedes, he creado este episodio para ti. Dale play y compártelo con esa amiga o compañera que a menudo dice "algún día". Amiga, la inspiración no transforma.  La ejecución sí.

Cuatro son los fundamentos esenciales del Evangelio de Cristo, que no sólo representan el eje central del mismo, sino que hablan de la identidad de lo que somos como creyentes. Estos cuatro pilares se resume como “El misterio revelado”, el cual es el eje central de la salvación y la fe de todo creyente.Creo que vivimos en un tiempo donde la Iglesia ignora muchas veces el eje central de nuestra  salvación y de nuestra fe, por lo tanto, menciono a continuación los cuatro pilares del Evangelio:Piedad y Misericordia.La cruz.La sangre.La resurrección.La Palabra del Señor dice que la Iglesia primitiva fue fundada sobre la doctrina apostólica y profética y el centro de esa doctrina son estos cuatro pilares. Efesios 2:19-22 “Así que ya no sois extranjeros ni advenedizos, sino conciudadanos de los santos, y miembros de la familia de Dios, edificados sobre el fundamento de los apóstoles y profetas, siendo la principal piedra del ángulo Jesucristo mismo, en quien todo el edificio, bien coordinado, va creciendo para ser un templo santo en el Señor; en quien vosotros también sois juntamente edificados para morada de Dios en el Espíritu”El Fundamento de la SalvaciónIglesia, ¿Cómo eres salvo? La salvación es un regalo de la gracia de Dios, no ganado por obras, recibido mediante la fe y arrepentimiento sincero, Somos salvos por la obra redentora de Cristo en la cruz, porque el Señor entregó a su Hijo por gracia. Algo tan básico muchas veces la iglesia no lo entiende, Hay personas que a estas alturas creen que son salvos por venir a la iglesia, o por servir en ella; No entienden que la salvación está detrás de una confesión verbal, Romanos 10:8-10 “Mas ¿qué dice? Cerca de ti está la palabra, en tu boca y en tu corazón. Esta es la palabra de fe que predicamos: que si confesares con tu boca que Jesús es el Señor, y creyeres en tu corazón que Dios le levantó de los muertos, serás salvo. Porque con el corazón se cree para justicia, pero con la boca se confiesa para salvación”. El Misterio de la piedad y MisericordiaEl misterio de la piedad y de la misericordia (deben ir siempre juntos, porque sin piedad, no hay misericordiaI), del que muy poca gente habla, está en la Biblia: 1 Timoteo 3:16 "E indiscutiblemente, grande es el misterio de la piedad: Dios fue manifestado en carne, Justificado en el Espíritu, Visto de los ángeles, Predicado a los gentiles, Creído en el mundo, Recibido arriba en gloria.”Piedad y misericordia no son exactamente lo mismo, aunque están estrechamente relacionadas y a menudo se usan como sinónimos. La piedad suele referirse al sentimiento de compasión o dolor ante el sufrimiento ajeno, mientras que la misericordia es una virtud más activa que implica actuar para aliviar ese sufrimiento, incluyendo el perdón y la ayuda práctica, en otras palabras: La misericordia es la piedad puesta en práctica. ¿Qué es el Misterio de la piedad y la Misericordia?Es que Dios se manifestó en carne, es el comienzo de un plan que estaba vigente desde antes de la fundación del mundo. Dios se hizo carne; se volvió un embrión, es un misterio porque la piedad fue tan grande hacia el pecado y el sufrimiento humano, que un Dios incontenible se metió en un cuerpo que podía contenerlo, lo grande se hizo pequeño, dejó el trono, la gloria, la alabanza y la adoración; se despojó de todo, fue 100% Dios y 100% hombre, por eso es un misterio, porque nadie logra entender cómo Dios se mete en un embrión para traer salvación y redención a la humanidad, el Creador haciéndose semejante a la creación, es el misterio de la piedad y la misericordia. Debemos entender que la piedad y la misericordia no empieza cuando yo hago algo por Dios, o cuando yo soy piadoso, la verdadera piedad y misericordia es la manifestación de que “lo grande se hizo pequeño”, para cumplir un propósito en la tierra. Dios decide meterse en un cuerpo para experimentar 100% lo que vive el hombre,  eso es piedad y misericordia, por lo tanto si hoy soy salvo, es porque el plan se puso en marcha cuando Dios se manifestó en carne.Ahora bien, como se puede determinar que Dios hizo “algo por mi”, en 1 Juan 4:2-3 dice: "En esto conoced el Espíritu de Dios: Todo espíritu que confiesa que Jesucristo ha venido en carne, es de Dios; y todo espíritu que no confiesa que Jesucristo ha venido en carne, no es de Dios; y este es el espíritu del anticristo…" El anticristo ya está en el mundo y se reconoce fácil: Va a negar que Jesucristo se hizo carne; estará en contra del misterio de la piedad y la misericordia, por eso no estos fundamentos ya no se predican, porque el enemigo pone un velo sobre lo importante y pone luces sobre lo que no lo es, la gente está preocupada por abundar en dones y milagros, pero se salta el ABC: El misterio de la piedad y la misericordia.Jesús firmó un contrato, Su sacrificio; Jesús aceptó un plan que ninguno de nosotros firmaría:"Vas a dejarlo todo para hacerte lo más insignificante y sufrir los peores dolores. Tendrás escenarios de rechazo, traición, abandono, hambre y persecución. Vas a aprender el oficio de carpintería y vas a morir colgado en el material que aprendiste a fabricar. Te haré amar el escenario de tu muerte. Vas a ofrecer tu vida porque nadie te la puede quitar".¿Quién de nosotros sería tan piadoso y misericordioso? Voy a colocar ejemplos prácticos para poder hacer una introspección en nuestras vidas:El evangelio que se predica hoy dice: "donde no te quieran, vete”, pero el plan de Jesús fue ir a una gente que no lo quería, que lo iba a abofetear, escupir y arrancar la barba. Si Dios no nos pidiese el diezmo, ¿lo daríamos? Tenemos que ser empujados para adorar porque no sabemos dar. A la Samaritana: Juan 4:7-24, Jesús le pidió agua y ella se fue sin dársela. Lo único que le pidió Jesús, no lo recibió. Simón el fariseo: Lucas 7:36-46, Jesús le dijo: "Llegué a tu casa y no me diste agua para lavar mis pies”. Lo único que pidió Jesús, no lo recibió. Para entender la piedad y la misericordia, imagina esto: Un juez debe sentenciar a su mejor amigo de la infancia. Como juez, tiene que responder a la ley y lo sentencia a una multa, pero al terminar el juicio, el juez se quita la toga, va a la oficina y paga la fianza de su amigo para liberarlo. Ese es el misterio de la piedad y la misericordia: "Tengo que juzgarte, pero escojo tomar tu lugar, porque sé que lo que te mereces no lo puedes soportar".¿Qué sabes tú de proceso si no has entendido esto? Jesús nació sin valor y murió sin valor, solo lo recuperó al resucitar. Él es la Ley y vino a cumplir la Ley. De ser servido, pasó a servir.El evangelio de hoy no se parece a Cristo; nos lleva a sentirnos felices con nosotros mismos, pero no con lo que a Dios le hace feliz. Si no tienes el valor para ofrendar lo que más amas, no has entendido el Evangelio. A veces no puedes despojarte ni de la cama para orar o del teléfono para leer, Esther tenía entre 12 y 15 años cuando asumió la responsabilidad de salvar a su nación. Daniel tenía entre 14 y 17 cuando decidió no contaminarse con la comida del rey. ¿Algún joven o alguna persona se habrá preguntado si su razón de existir es salvar a su familia?Cuando la Biblia habla de piedad y misericordia usa varios términos, pero hay dos que sobresalen: En el Antiguo Testamento vemos el término hebreo «jesed» que significa entre otras cosas bondad, misericordia, gracia, amor y fidelidad. En el Nuevo Testamento encontramos el término g...

La vida no te rompe para castigarte.Te rompe para ver si estás listo para elevarte.La crisis no es el final. Es el colapso del personaje que ya no te sirve.La pregunta no es si duele… es quién decides ser después.¿Vas a salir más amargo… o más fuerte?

What if the connection that saves your life was nine years in the making, and you had no idea it was coming? In this episode, Scott Rammage shares how a chain of relationships built over nearly a decade led him to the doctor who restored his health when no one else could. Scott is the owner of HireVP, a virtual professionals agency that recruits, places, and fully supports experienced overseas staff for business owners across the U.S. and Australia. He spent 17 years learning the hard way what it costs to try to do everything yourself, losing money and time with his family in the process, before building a business model designed to give other entrepreneurs the freedom he struggled so long to find. HireVP has grown entirely through referrals and relationships, with zero advertising spend. Scott lives in Dallas with his wife and sons. The relationship that transformed Scott's life: Carl, an executive coach who mentioned his brother almost in passing at the end of their first meeting. That brother was a functional neurologist, one of only 300 in the world with that specialty. Months later, when a mysterious neurological episode left Scott non-functional for weeks and regular doctors had no answers, Carl made the call. His brother took Scott from barely functional to nearly fully recovered in four days. The chain that led to Carl stretched back nine years through three other people, starting with a client Scott met in the fitness industry.   [00:02:44] George Rivera: The Introduction Behind This Episode George Rivera connected Kevin and Scott, and Kevin calls any intro from George an automatic yes. Both agree a trust-based introduction beats every other way of meeting someone. It is proof that the right relationship cuts through instantly. [00:03:43] What Scott Does: HireVP and the Freedom He Was Chasing Scott runs HireVP, placing and supporting experienced virtual professionals for business owners. They go beyond typical VA services by staying involved with both sides long-term. It is all driven by Scott's mission to give owners the freedom he spent 17 years chasing himself. [00:04:42] Why He Does It: The Price He Paid First Scott started his first business in 2004 while still teaching full-time. He spent 17 years making costly mistakes and robbing his family of time and attention. His greatest joy now is shortening that learning curve for other owners. [00:07:55] The Origin of HireVP: Hold My Beer A contractor told Scott he needed a VA, then said he would never succeed with one. He took it as a challenge, went all in on overseas hiring, and had three full-time VAs within three months. A colleague asked to borrow one, Scott charged a rate, and a business was born. [00:11:40] The Breaking Point That Built a Better Model Scott lost 70% of recurring revenue almost overnight after buying out his business partner. His 17-year-old son told him he just wished his dad would finally get paid what he was worth. He charged a doctor $500 to find and train a VA just for her, knocked it out of the park, and kept getting referrals. Seeing clients fail after placement showed him full support was the missing piece, and HireVP was born. [00:16:40] The First VA, Nine Years Later His very first VA still works for him and is now at university in Florida, with Scott sponsoring her. When asked why she enrolled, she said she wanted to bring more value back to the company. He calls this kind of impact the thing that feeds him every day. [00:21:40] Carl's Brother: The Connection That Saved His Life Scott hired executive coach Carl, who mentioned his brother, a functional neurologist, almost as an afterthought. Months later Scott was falling without tripping, slurring words, and freezing mid-step, with doctors finding nothing wrong. Carl helped run the business for six weeks, then connected Scott with his brother, who had him nearly fully recovered in four days. The doctor told Scott there are only 300 practitioners with that specialty in the world. [00:26:40] What He Learned About How He Is Wired The neurologist showed Scott that his drive to fix everyone's problems is the same thing that built his businesses. Learning to manage that wiring rather than be destroyed by it has been a major personal shift. He now sees it as his duty to pass on hard-won lessons so others move through similar things faster. [00:32:22] Final Thought: Play the Long Game Networking well is a superpower, but most people try to force it too fast. His advice: slow down to speed up, and focus on the relationship, not what it might bring you. Someone recently messaged him about a podcast from three years ago that had already sent two paying clients his way.   KEY QUOTES "I get no better satisfaction in business than helping other business owners really achieve that little bit of freedom from the chaos they created when they started." - Scott Rammage "Don't just make a connection. Your goal with that connection should be leaving that person with something that will improve their life. No reciprocity. Have a goal of giving only, and that will absolutely work." - Scott Rammage "Slow down to speed up. Just start meeting people and don't try to push the relationship for a connection. Push the relationship for a relationship." - Scott Rammage CONNECT WITH SCOTT RAMMAGE

Si quieres perder grasa corporal, es posible que hayas escuchado que necesitas crear un déficit calórico, pero ¿Qué es esto de un déficit calórico? Básicamente un déficit calórico viene a decir que necesitas darle al cuerpo menos calorías de las que necesita. Esto hace que haya 2 vías principales para generar este déficit: Comer menos y moverse más. Y precisamente este es el consejo que recibimos siempre. La pregunta es ¿Cómo lo hacemos? El ejercicio para crear un déficit calórico La forma más fácil de crear un déficit calórico no es matarse a hacer ejercicio. Yo siempre digo que el ejercicio que hagas debe usarse para construir, no para destruir. Es decir, tú vas al gimnasio no para quemar calorías, sino para fortalecer tu musculatura, ganar fuerza, ganar propiocepción, mejorar tu estabilidad… En resumen: Vas al gimnasio para tener más de algo, no para tener menos. Esto no significa que cuando vas al gimnasio a entrenar musculación no gastes calorías, claro que gastas, pero este gasto es algo incidental, no es el objetivo. No vas al gimnasio PARA quemar calorías, sino que vas al gimnasio y necesitas quemar calorías. Por tanto, la forma más fácil de generar un déficit calórico es controlar lo que comes. Esta es la vía más rápida porque NO comer 200 calorías es mucho más fácil y rápido que quemar 200 kcals, así que ante la duda , para generar un déficit calórico es mejor una caloría no consumida que una caloría gastada. Por eso defiendo tanto el tener un plan de alimentación, porque un plan de alimentación es precisamente la herramienta que te permite ponerle un techo a las calorías que consumes. Y sin este techo es prácticamente imposible crear un déficit calórico porque tú puedes comer cantidades abusivas, pero no puedes quemar cantidades abusivas, a menos que seas un Michael Phelps que se tire entrenando en una piscina 10 horas al día. Trucos para crear un déficit calórico El plan de alimentación es la herramienta número 1. Pero luego dentro del plan de alimentación, hay algunos trucos que permiten crear y ampliar ese déficit muy fácilmente. Por ejemplo, usar alimentos más ricos en proteína hace que un 15-20% de esas calorías se usen en la propia digestión y asimilación de los alimentos. Los carbohidratos serían los siguientes con un 10% más o menos y las grasas serían las últimas con un 5%. Esto no significa que la grasa engorda, pero si que es verdad que a efectos netos es mucho más calórica que la proteína o los carbohidratos. Sin contar con que cuando como un gramo de proteína eso son 4 kcals (de los cuales el 20% lo gastaré en la digestión), cuando consumo 1g de carbohidratos estoy metiendo 4 kcals (de los cuales el 10% lo usaré para la digestión) y cuando consumo 1 gramos de grasa estoy metiendo 9 kcals (de las cuales solo el 5% las gastaré en la digestión). Por eso, dietas más bajas en grasa suelen ser maneras más fáciles de crear un déficit calórico, porque simplemente si limitas las grasas y comes más proteína y carbohidratos vas a estar metiendo menos calorías en el cuerpo. Si además de esto consumes alimentos ricos en fibra y con baja densidad calórica (es decir que puedas comer mucho volumen pero que contenga pocas calorías), vas a estar saciado mucho más tiempo y te va a costar menos llevar el déficit calórico. Porque hay que dejar una cosa clara, y es que la forma más fácil de generar un déficit calórico es no comer. Si yo mañana no como nada, estoy en un déficit calórico. Pero se supone que estoy buscando crear un déficit calórico para perder grasa corporal y en un día no voy a perder una cantidad notable de grasa corporal, con lo que el déficit calórico tiene que durar varias semanas o varios meses. Y es imposible estar sin comer tantas semanas, entonces no te vale con ayunar o matarte de hambre, sino que tiene que ser algo relativamente llevadero. El hambre y el déficit calórico La sensación de hambre la vas a tener, porque hambre y déficit calórico van de la mano. Porque por definición, si un déficit calórico es consumir menos energía de la que el cuerpo necesita, cuando el cuerpo percibe eso te empieza a decir que necesita más energía ¿Y cómo te lo dice? Mediante el hambre. Pero esto está bien, tener hambre está bien. Y si quieres perder grasa corporal tienes que acostumbrarte a convivir con el hambre. Es imposible perder peso sin pasar hambre. Otra cosa es que el hambre que tengas sea algo descontrolado, pero es importante no engañarse a uno mismo ni dejarse engañar por mensajes seductores de «pierde peso sin pasar hambre», porque hambre vas a pasar. De hecho, una señal de que estás sano es que tengas hambre, porque cuando estás enfermo lo primero que pierdes es el hambre, así que deja de ver el hambre como algo malo y aprende a convivir con ella. Cambios en tu día a día para conseguir un déficit calórico Hay otros pequeños cambios que puedes hacer que a simple vista parece que no ayudan al déficit calórico pero sí que lo hacen, como es el moverte más en tu día a día. Cosas que no te suponen ningún esfuerzo como en lugar de subir en ascensor subir por las escaleras, o en lugar de ir en coche al trabajo ir andando o en lugar de aparcar el la puerta, aparcar más lejos. Ese tipo de cosas no te trastornan tu día a día pero contribuyen a ese déficit calórico. Pero de nuevo: No caigas en la trampa de subir por las escaleras en lugar de por el ascensor pensando que lo haces para gastar más calorías. Eso no es así. Si subes por las escaleras en lugar de por el ascensor es porque eres la clase de persona atlética y saludable que escoge las escaleras en lugar del ascensor. Y esto es importante porque es parte de tu identidad. Y puede que ahora mismo esa no sea tu identidad, por eso cada vez que tienes que escoger entre un ascensor y unas escaleras escoges el ascensor, pero cada vez que escojas subir por las escaleras estarás contribuyendo a convertirte en esa persona atlética y saludable. Y por eso lo haces. No lo haces para gastar más calorías. Es igual que el gimnasio, ese gasto es incidental y te va a ayudar a mantener el déficit calórico pero no debes hacerlo por eso. El sueño y el déficit calórico Si quieres mantener un déficit calórico necesitas cuidar tu descanso. Esto a priori parece que no tiene nada que ver porque dormir no afecta ni a lo que comes ni a lo que te mueves, pero en realidad si que lo hace porque el sueño es el periodo que tiene el cuerpo para repararse y si no lo cuidas y no duermes bien, el cuerpo andará falta de energía y eso significa que va a estar en modo ahorro gastando la menor cantidad de energía posible y además como estarás tan cansado no tendrás ganas de moverte ni de hacer nada. Eso sin contar que como estás tan falto de energía el cuerpo te va a mandar más señalizaciones de hambre y no hambre de cualquier cosa, porque no vas a querer comerte unos espárragos. El cuerpo te va a pedir chocolates, bollería, galletas y todo este tipo de cosas porque lo que el cuerpo busca es energía inmediata y sabe que estos alimentos le van a dar energía inmediata. Por lo que si no duermes bien: Vas a gastar menos calorías (con lo que si quieres crear un déficit calórico vas a tener que comer menos aún de lo que deberías comer), pero al mismo tiempo vas a luchar contra un hambre voraz que te va a inclinar hacia alimentos muy calóricos y poco saludables y además no vas a tener ganas de moverte ni de hacer nada. Y todo esto por no dormir bien. Así que si, el dormir si que está relacionado con el peso que pierdes o el peso que ganas, porque si lo gestionas bien puede ayudarte a crear un déficit calórico pero si lo gestionas mal puede ser una barrera insalvable para generar un déficit calórico. Y así es como se genera un déficit calórico. Entre no comer una caloría y quemar una caloría es mucho más fácil y efectivo no comer una caloría. Por lo que para crear un déficit calórico es indispensable capar de alguna forma las calorías que consumes. Esto lo puedes hacer de muchas formas y de hecho todas las dietas tienen una serie de reglas que sirven para capar esas calorías. Es decir, lo que funciona no es la dieta sino el déficit calórico. La dieta es solo una herramienta para llegar ahí. Pero personalmente en lugar de seguir una dieta para capar las calorías, yo prefiero hacerme un plan de alimentación siguiendo mis propias reglas en lugar de seguir las de nadie. Dentro de ese plan de alimentación sería interesante priorizar alimentos más proteicos y carbohidratos en lugar de grasa porque simplemente por comerlos una parte importante de sus calorías no te van a sumar. Y por supuesto priorizar alimentos poco densos en calorías, como los típicos vegetales que puedes comer mucha cantidad pero que su contenido calórico es muy pequeño y te sirven para reducir las señalizaciones de hambre. Pero que sepas que hambre vas a tener. Y vas a tener más hambre aún si no cuidas de tu descanso porque el cuerpo te hará mucho más difícil mantener el déficit calórico. Y así es como se crea un déficit calórico para perder peso. Cuida de tu cuerpo y tu cuerpo cuidará de ti Origen

The Secret Weapon for Scaling Your Real Estate BusinessAre you a "solopreneur" working a demanding nine-to-five while trying to build a real estate empire in the margins of your day? Most part-time investors find that marketing and due diligence are the first things to fall off the plate when they get home exhausted at 6:00 PM. But if you want to reach six figures in your first year, you cannot keep doing $15-an-hour tasks and expect a high-level bank account. In this episode, we're diving deep into the tactical side of leveraging virtual assistants (VAs) to clone your efforts, automate your systems, and ensure your business is working—even while you're asleep. Key Strategies for Leveraging a Virtual AssistantAutomated Due Diligence & Spreadsheet Scrubbing: Instead of manually checking every asset on a tape, a trained VA can "scrub" your spreadsheets to pull Zillow values, rental rates, and back taxes. They can even save property photos into a Dropbox and run preliminary calculations based on your specific formulas, delivering a narrowed-down list for your final review. Dominating Local Markets via Direct Marketing: A VA can act as your "social sleuth," performing skip tracing to find borrower phone numbers and emails or pulling IRA investor contacts directly from county records. They can manage your entire marketing funnel—from designing postcards in Canva to executing mail merges and scheduling email blasts in your CRM—so your outreach stays consistent without you lifting a finger. Social Media & Content Management: Don't let your social profiles become a "ghost town." VAs can take your recorded podcast audio or video and transform it into YouTube descriptions, blog posts, and LinkedIn newsletters. They can also manage your Facebook groups, design daily marketing graphics, and ensure your "30 by 30" marketing matrix is executed every single day. High-Level Asset Management & Outreach: Beyond simple admin tasks, VAs can handle the heavy lifting of calling bank asset managers or research probate leads in specific counties. They can also serve as a "contract-to-close" manager, coordinating between attorneys, loan processors, and service providers to ensure your deals move from a signed contract to a funded asset smoothly. The ROI of Delegation: While a quality real estate VA typically costs between $10 and $12 an hour, the return on investment is massive. For roughly $850 a month, you gain 20 hours of weekly productivity that allows you to focus on the "big rocks"—finding deals and raising capital. This system replaces the need for expensive local office space and full-time staff while providing a 24/7 engine for your business growth. Success in real estate investing isn't about working harder; it's about working smarter by delegating the tasks that are below your pay grade. As we move through 2026, the gap between the "hobbyists" and the "heavy hitters" will be defined by who uses the tools of automation and delegation most effectively. Don't wait for "perfection" to start marketing—perfection is the enemy of results. Take action today, find a partner like Riva Global to help you staff up, and start focusing on the big-money moves that will actually change your life. Ready to stop doing it all yourself?

In this episode, I'm thrilled to have Adrienne from Seed VAs share her journey from corporate operations to running three successful businesses, including Seed Virtual Assistance. Adrienne dives into her accidental discovery of the VA world and how word-of-mouth helped her transition into full-time entrepreneurship. She discusses the pivotal role of community and mentorship in the VA space and explains how Seed Virtual Assistance supports VAs and OBMs with resources and connection opportunities. Adrienne also shares insights about their matchmaking service for business owners looking to hire VAs and the importance of awards in recognising industry success. Whether you're a business owner looking to scale or a budding VA, the practical advice shared in this episode is invaluable. ### Key Takeaways: 1. Transition to entrepreneurship can start unexpectedly. 2. Community is vital for VAs to share experiences and grow. 3. Awards elevate and recognize the VA industry's success. 4. Matchmaking helps businesses find the right VA fit. 5. Mentoring is crucial for growth and overcoming business challenges. Website:  Spotify Apple:  ### Notable Quotes: 1. "Human beings aren't designed to be alone; we thrive in community." 2. "Awards are more than recognition; they uplift the whole industry." 3. "Finding a VA isn't just about skills—it's about matching personalities." 4. "Seed's matchmaking services simplify finding the right VA fit." 5. "Mentoring transforms growing pains into growth opportunities."

Trescientos episodios no se construyen contendencias;se construyen converdad,con estancia y convicción. Hoy celebramos 300 conversaciones formando mujeres con criterio, fe firme y mente clara. Y en este episodio especial abro una puerta distinta: una entrevista íntima y directa donde revelo lo que nadie sabe sobre el libro *SANA*. No solo el mensaje que lees en sus páginas, sino el proceso, las confrontaciones, las luchas y las decisiones que le dieron vida. Vas a entender por qué este libro no es motivación superficial, sino un llamado a romper ciclos que han gobernado generaciones. Y porque 300 episodios merecen algo más que celebración, he preparado tres regalos especiales que puedes redimir hoy mismo en **omayrafont.com/regalo**. Primero, un test digital interactivo: "¿Qué herida no sanada está dirigiendo tu vida?" Quince preguntas que te darán un diagnóstico claro sobre la raíz emocional que se repite en tu historia. Segundo, una guía práctica en PDF: "5 señales de que tu pasado todavía gobierna tus decisiones." Para que identifiques patrones que has normalizado y que siguen saboteando tu propósito. Tercero, un audio de 12 minutos: "La mentira silenciosa que te mantiene repitiendo lo mismo." Una confrontación clara y necesaria para desenmascarar la raíz que sostiene el ciclo y darte la dirección concreta para comenzar a romperlo. Celebramos 300 episodios mirando hacia adelante. Si algo se repite en tu vida, no es casualidad. Es una señal. Y este es el momento de enfrentarla con fe y claridad.

He crossed $10M in Amazon sales in 2025. Almost entirely online arbitrage. Just sourcing, scaling, and staying in stock.Stephen Reinhard (https://www.instagram.com/stephendoesbusiness/) started flipping Nike cleats at Ross in middle school for $20. By college, he was running a $75K/month retail arbitrage operation and flying home once a month just to shop. Today, he runs a lean OA business doing $3M+ in a single month with 12-15% net margins and a team of 7-8 VAs.In this episode, we break down how he treats online arbitrage like wholesale, why he thinks most Amazon AI tools are a waste of time, the $150K gift card mistake that almost slipped through, and the Q4 story where he raised $1M on friends' credit cards to keep scaling.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro00:35 - Meet Stephen Reinhard: $10M Amazon Seller02:33 - From $20 Cleats at Ross to $10M on Amazon06:06 - Why He Treats Online Arbitrage Like Wholesale09:20 - The Numbers: $3M+ in a Single Month11:46 - $464K in Sales from $6,700 in Ads (PPC Breakdown)13:42 - "OA Is a Video Game.

A TikTok about learning Spanish through exposure therapy and humiliation got me thinking about business. Not in the way you think.Here's the thing: I know you're already uncomfortable. You're already pushing through, hustling, saying yes to clients, taking on projects, showing up. That's not your problem. That's actually the part that's going to burn you out.In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between the wrong kind of uncomfortable (working harder, posting more, taking on more clients) and the RIGHT kind of uncomfortable, the kind that comes from changing the game completely.Because you're already doing hard things.

Dios quiere Su casa llena Por: Pastor Danny Serrano Lucas 14:16–23. Desde los comienzos de nuestra iglesia, amábamos estar ahí reunidos. Éramos gente imperfecta buscando a un Dios perfecto. Gente rota buscando a un Dios que sana. Gente necesitada encontrándonos con un Dios que suple. Éramos esos pobres, lisiados, ciegos y cojos de la parábola, hasta que un día nos invitaron a la casa del Señor. Debemos estar agradecidos por la persona que nos llevó a los pies de Jesús. Pero aún hay espacio en la casa de Dios. Y Él quiere que la llenemos. Entonces, ¿por qué hemos dejado de compartir las Buenas Nuevas? Hechos 16:22–34. De esta historia aprendemos cuatro verdades poderosas: 1. Evangelizar es fruto de la comunión con el Espíritu Santo. Pablo estaba dispuesto a obedecer la dirección divina. Es el Espíritu Santo quien pone carga por los perdidos. Él te dice: “Acércate. Háblale. Ayúdalo”. La verdadera conversión te lleva a cumplir la Gran Comisión (Mateo 28). Dios dirigirá tus pasos, incluso en momentos difíciles, para que alcances a otros. 2. Los milagros apuntan a ganar almas. Todo lo que les ocurrió a Pablo y a Silas tenía como objetivo que una persona, el carcelero, fuera salva. Los milagros tienen propósito: ser como Cristo, glorificar a Cristo y que otros conozcan a Cristo. La iglesia primitiva buscaba ganar almas, y Dios la respaldaba con milagros. Dios opera milagros en la vida de aquellos que viven para ganar a otros para Cristo Hoy muchos buscan milagros, pero no discípulos, pero, cuando persigues la Gran Comisión, los milagros te siguen. 3. Los no creyentes te están observando. En la cárcel, Pablo y Silas no cantaban para impresionar, sino porque, aun injustamente presos, estaban agradecidos. Tus reacciones frente al problema son tu mayor testimonio. Muchos no leerán la Biblia, pero leerán tu vida, porque no se trata solo de invitar, sino de imitar a Cristo. 4. Necesitamos compartir la Palabra. Cuando el carcelero intentó suicidarse, Pablo intervino y luego compartió la Palabra. Muchos se quedan solo en animar, pero no predican. Tu testimonio puede inspirar, pero la Palabra es la que transforma. Esa transformación real va a causar conversiones reales y multiplicador como el carcelero que les llevó a su casa para que les predique. El mensaje no puede quedarse en ti, debe reproducirse en tu casa, en tus hijos, en tu trabajo, en tu universidad, en tu barrio, etc. Dios quiere Su casa llena y todavía hay lugar. Todavía hay espacio. La pregunta es: ¿Vas tú a invitar? La entrada Dios quiere Su casa llena – Ps. Danny Serrano se publicó primero en Comunidad de Fe.

If your clients are quietly disappearing, not giving testimonials, or not buying again, there is a deeply rooted problem we need to address. In this episode, I sit down with Emily Mathis to talk about outsourcing, but not in the way you think. We didn't talk about hiring editors, VAs, or handing off social media. We talked about the outsourcing you're probably ignoring: your client experience.Emily hasn't outsourced much in her own business, and that's exactly what makes her perspective powerful. Instead of defaulting to hiring help, she focuses on tightening the backend, improving delivery, and fixing what most business owners ignore: the messy middle.If you're always chasing new leads but ignoring the people already inside your container, this conversation might change how you grow your business.Mentioned in this EpisodeBreanna Owen: owenyourmark.comEpisode 256 with Breanna Owen: coliejames.com/using-human-design-to-transform-your-business-strategy-with-breanna-owenEpisode 224 with Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober: coliejames.com/how-the-enneagram-can-supercharge-your-self-awareness-with-ashton-whitmoyer-oberSystems in Session: coliejames.com/systems-in-sessionConnect with EmilyWebsite: emilymathis.coInstagram: instagram.com/emilymathis.co

SUMMARY: In this episode, Aaron and Terryn unpack why operations only feels "boring" when teams get stuck in loops or over-systemize without fresh challenges. They share how staying engaged in ops requires intentionally creating space for new problems to solve—delegating repeatable work, developing people underneath you, and continuously taking on new projects that re-engage your brain. The conversation emphasizes leadership responsibility: keep your team energized by aligning roles with what excites them while still accepting that some grind is part of building strong operators. They then deep-dive into recruiting—especially overseas hiring and VAs—breaking down a practical, human-first hiring process: real screening (not just keyword filters), staged interviews, trials, and personality fit. Aaron and Terryn outline where VAs work best (task-based ops, customer support, data work, marketing ops) and where they don't (high-risk or ultra-niche expert roles like ad buying or financial control). The episode closes with a framework for smart global hiring: match role complexity to talent level, design clear SOPs, be intentional about time zones and customer-facing communication, and structure your org so overseas support amplifies—not replaces—high-touch leadership roles.   Minute by Minute: 00:00 The Excitement of Operations 06:11 Engagement and Delegation in Leadership 11:36 Effective Recruiting Strategies 17:30 Navigating Virtual Assistance 23:05 Final Thoughts and Reflections

Si no has escuchado los episodios anteriores, te recomiendo hacerlo. Vas a ver que este episodio sí que cierra el círculo. Y quiero decirte que estoy muy emocionada de cerrar esta serie contigo, hablándote hoy de un error que casi nadie nombra, pero que para mí es uno de los más importantes. Este error no se vé, no se nota, pero pesa muchísimo. El error es creerte tu historia… y tratar de hacerlo sola. Y quiero explicártelo de una manera muy simple. Estamos muy acostumbradas a pedir ayuda para muchas cosas. Sabemos que necesitamos apoyo. Contratamos entrenadores cuando queremos aprender a hacer ejercicio, buscamos nutriólogos para que nos digan qué comer, tomamos clases o cursos cuando necesitamos aprender algo nuevo. Pero hay algo para lo que casi nunca pedimos apoyo, y es para aprender a manejar nuestra mente. Y mira, sin darnos cuenta, vivimos solas con nuestros pensamientos. Dime si esto te suena familiar: "Estoy estancada." "A mí hasta el aire me engorda." "Me cuesta muchísimo bajar de peso." "Subo súper rápido y bajo bien lento." "Es que a mi edad ya no se puede." "Mis antojos me traicionan." "¿Para qué me esfuerzo si no se nota?" "Seguro estoy haciendo algo mal." "Soy un caso perdido." ¿Te suena familiar alguno de estos pensamientos? Quiero decirte algo muy importante: el problema no es que estos pensamientos aparezcan. Eso es totalmente humano. El problema es que te los creas. Porque cuando te los crees, empiezas a actuar desde ahí y se convierten en tu historia, en tu realidad. Cuando te crees la historia de "estoy estancada", comes desde la frustración. Cuando te crees la historia de "a mi edad ya no se puede", te desconectas de la intención de cuidarte. Cuando te crees la historia de "nada me funciona", te rindes, incluso cuando ya estabas avanzando. Y pasa algo verdaderamente triste. Te saboteas sin darte cuenta. No porque no puedas lograrlo, no porque no quieras, sino porque te quedas sola con tus pensamientos, con tu mente, que realmente no ha sido entrenada para acompañarte. Y no es que tú no seas capaz de cambiar tus pensamientos. No es que tú no seas capaz de ver las cosas diferente. Es que cuando estamos dentro de la historia, no podemos verla completa. A mí me pasa. Aun teniendo todas las herramientas que tengo, aun llevando años en este camino, yo también me compro mis historias. Me creo un montón de mentiras que no me sirven… pero me las compro y las convierto en mi realidad. Historias de exigencia. Historias de no soy suficiente. Historias de no soy buena mamá, no soy buena hija, no soy buena esposa, no soy buena amiga. Historias de no debería estar batallando con esto. Y benditas coaches que he tenido, porque son ellas las que me sacan de ahí. Tener una coach me ha cambiado la vida. Y acudo a ella no porque yo no sepa cómo cambiar mis pensamientos, no porque sea poco inteligente o porque sea débil, sino porque necesito a alguien que me ayude a ver lo que mi mente está distorsionando, lo que mi mente se está creyendo, las mentiras que me estoy contando y las historias que estoy haciendo realidad. Mi coach me ayuda a ver mis avances cuando yo solo veo lo que estoy haciendo mal o lo que me falta hacer. Me ayuda a cuestionar la historia que me estoy contando. Me ayuda a regresar a la verdad. Me ayuda a conectar con mi espectacularidad, con mi forma única de ser. Y te lo digo con toda honestidad: no lo podemos hacer solas todo el tiempo, especialmente cuando queremos crear resultados diferentes. Si queremos cambiar nuestros resultados y nuestra historia con el peso, con el cuerpo y con la comida, hacerlo solas es prácticamente garantía de seguir generando los mismos resultados de siempre. Porque este tema es mucho más que un número en la báscula. Es mucho más que qué comer. Este tema incluye emociones, identidad, expectativas y heridas. Considéralo. Quizá este sea el error que has estado cometiendo y que no te ha permitido cumplir tu propósito de bajar de peso. Quizá lo que necesitas no es más fuerza de voluntad. No es conocer otra dieta. No es exigirte más. Lo que necesitas es acompañamiento. Necesitas a alguien que te acompañe a lograr tu meta. Que te ayude a conectar con tu porqué. Que te invite a parar y a generar claridad cuando estés confundida, decepcionada o frustrada. Necesitas un espacio seguro. Un espacio con alguien que crea en ti. Un espacio donde puedas compartir tus pensamientos, sacarlos, mirarlos, dejar de pelearte con ellos y dejar de creértelos. Necesitas a alguien que sepas que no te va a juzgar por lo que piensas. Alguien que crea en ti. Que te ayude a creer en ti. Que te ayude a no rendirte. Necesitas dejar de hacerlo sola. Y si mientras escuchabas este episodio sentiste un "sí, esta soy yo", si reconociste que este ha sido tu error, creerte tu historia y tratar de hacerlo sola, quiero invitarte a dar el siguiente paso. Apúntate en monicasosa.com/primerafila para que puedas unirte a Más Allá del Peso en cuanto abramos las puertas de ese espacio. Yo estaré encantada de acompañarte en este camino. De verdad, será un honor. Es mi pasión hacerlo. Te acompaño a lograr esa meta que tanto deseas. Te acompaño a aprender a mantenerte ahí, en paz con tu cuerpo, con la comida y enamorada de ti misma. Te acompaño a que pruebes y compruebes de lo que eres capaz cuando empiezas a creer en ti. Y si decides no hacerlo conmigo, busca a alguien. No lo hagas sola. Te lo vas a hacer más fácil… y mucho más disfrutable. Y hasta aquí dejamos este episodio. Si por alguna razón no has escuchado los episodios 305 y 306, te invito a que los escuches. Y antes de despedirme, quiero pedirte un favor. Si te gusta este podcast, déjame por ahí cinco estrellitas y un review en Apple Podcasts, en Spotify o en la plataforma donde me escuches. Eso me ayuda muchísimo a llegar con este mensaje a más mujeres espectaculares como tú. Con mis deseos de que tengas una semana, un día y una vida espectacular. Con mi cariño,  Tu coach Mónica

Chris Kille was the guest on this episode of Success Profiles Radio. He is an entrepreneur, author, and operations expert who helps businesses scale without chaos by building back-end infrastructure that actually works. He has built and sold four companies and is currently the founder of EO Staff, a premium remote staffing company known for placing elite Remote Office Assistants (ROAs) into fast-growing organizations. We talked about when it's a great idea to start sourcing things out, what role your first hire should be, the expectations investors usually have for a business they might buy, the red flags they will avoid in the vetting process, and the lessons learned from building and selling a startup. In addition, we discussed criteria he has for hiring VAs, how to pick the best remote worker for your needs, the types of things businesses like to outsource, and his best client success stories. Finally, we discussed his book, The Rise Of Virtual Assistants, which is available on Amazon. You can follow and listen to the show on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Audible, iHeart Radio, and at https://toginet.com/podcasts/successprofilesradio/

Tired of random, low-quality LinkedIn calls or no calls at all? In this episode, Troy Hipolito (a.k.a. the “Not So Boring LinkedIn Guy” and former Swiss-Filipino gamification designer) breaks down how he helps B2B and service-based businesses turn LinkedIn into a consistent pipeline of vetted, high-value meetings. After agency work with Fortune 500 brands dried up, Troy reinvented his business using LinkedIn, combining “slow dating” relationship-building with tight systems and clear daily workflows. The result: a predictable process that leverages videos, content, events, and smart follow-up instead of spammy cold pitches and random hustle. https://youtu.be/Oh-wtfBJAI0 Troy reveals the exact framework behind Skoop, his Chrome extension and dashboard, which boosts first-message-to-booked-meeting conversions from ~3% to 21%, a 6x improvement, using short, raw, hyper-personalized videos embedded directly in LinkedIn DMs. You'll learn how to fix a “jacked up” profile that repels your ideal clients, why you only really make money on LinkedIn in two places (content and DMs), how to structure free/low-ticket/high-ticket offers that feed each other, and how to use VAs, SOPs, and repeatable systems so you only spend 30 minutes a day recording videos while your backend runs like a machine. If you want more (and better) meetings without turning LinkedIn into a full-time job, this conversation gives you the blueprint. Quotes: “There's no single silver bullet. The core is providing value, but you have to distribute that value across multiple channels.” “LinkedIn is not a Facebook marketplace. It's a networking domain. It's about building real relationships, not just ‘buy my stuff.'” “We took that first LinkedIn message from about a 3% conversion to 21%, not to a reply, but to a vetted booked meeting.” “People don't read; they scan. Anything more than three lines is too much. That's why the message has to be context, content, context.” “Slow down and ‘slow date' your clients. The sooner you realize you're not a fit, the sooner you can move on with clarity.” Resources: Troy Hipolito on LinkedIn SKOOP
