(Due to technical issues, this episode has been reuploaded. My apologies to Jamie and to all our listeners. –Dane) In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson welcomes back Jamie Beasley, who shares her path from chamber leadership to her current role as a Regional Development Specialist in north central Oklahoma. Jamie discusses the joys and challenges of working with small towns, the importance of building authentic community connections, and the value of bringing fresh ideas from other places. She also introduces her new initiative, Econ Dev Ops, a virtual assistant service tailored to chambers of commerce and economic development organizations, designed to help overburdened leaders focus on strategy and growth. Like this show? Please leave us a review here (https://econdevshow.com/rate-this-podcast/) — even one sentence helps! Ten Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Spend time in the field. Nothing replaces face-to-face conversations. Look at how other communities solve problems; good ideas travel well. Small towns often lack staff capacity; find ways to connect them to resources. Collaboration across counties and regions can amplify limited resources. Celebrate small wins to keep communities motivated for long-term goals. Don't underestimate the importance of simply listening to local leaders. Recognize that chamber directors and small-town EDs often juggle multiple roles. Consider outsourcing administrative tasks (like social media, invoicing, and newsletters) to free up strategic capacity. Include small towns in summits and regional events--they often feel overlooked. Focus on relationships and encouragement--sometimes validation is as valuable as funding. Special Guest: Jamie Beasley.

In this episode of Soulpreneur Scaling Stories, I'm diving into why marketing feels so hard for VAs, OBMs, and service providers, and why it's absolutely not your fault. If you've ever stared at a blank screen wondering what to post, felt guilty about not being "consistent" with content, or wondered why marketing advice never seems to work for you, this episode will change everything.I break down the three major reasons why standard marketing advice fails service providers: wrong business model assumptions, wrong personality assumptions, and unrealistic time expectations. Most marketing advice is designed for coaches and course creators who ARE the product, not for service providers who are busy actually doing the work for clients.You don't need 10,000 followers - you need 10 amazing clients and solid referrals. Your marketing should be relationship-based, not audience-based, and it should honor your natural personality instead of forcing you into an extroverted box that feels awful. If you're tired of feeling like you're failing at marketing when really you've just been using the wrong strategy, this episode will give you permission to stop beating yourself up and start marketing in a way that actually works for your business model. Key Points Covered:✨ Why most marketing advice assumes you're a full-time content creator✨ The personality mismatch making "show up everywhere" advice feel terrible✨ Why relationship-based marketing beats audience-building for service pros✨ The simple two-platform strategy that works for busy VAs and OBMs✨ How to stop forcing yourself into marketing approaches that don't fit✨ Why one meaningful conversation trumps 100 random likesSend us a text Thank you for being a part of the Soulpreneur Scaling Stories community!FREE RESOURCES
Two first-time owners. Day-one chaos. Hockey-stick growth. In this episode, Mike and Matt break down exactly what happened after taking over a 30-year business: the awkward start as younger owners, the 60-day clean-up, the months of “flat” growth, and the breakthrough that took them from ~$100K/month to nearly $500K/month - FAST. We talk real tactics: digging into CRM data, testing multiple growth plays (including failures), finding the winning revenue vein, and building a team with in-person hires + VAs, SOPs, and rapid training. You'll also hear how weekly accountability calls with a fractional CFO changed the game—moving from “do more sales” to celebrating results. What you'll learn - The first 60–90 days after buying a business: what to fix before you try to scale - How to mine your CRM for patterns, pricing power, and hidden revenue - Why persistence beats “perfect strategy” (and how to know when to pivot) - Building a lean hiring + training machine (from 6 to 22+ employees) - The power of a sales scoreboard and weekly financial transparency - Structuring win-win equity so everyone is hungry for growth Who this is for - Operators buying their first business (or considering it) - Owners stuck at a plateau and ready to push for real scale - Leaders who want systems, accountability, and team capacity—fast

In this episode, I share how putting everything on your calendar—even the smallest tasks—can transform your productivity and peace of mind. I talk about my own journey with calendar blocking, why it's so effective, and how it helps reduce decision fatigue and overwhelm. You'll hear practical tips for scheduling everything from work projects and family time to errands and rest, plus why building in buffer time is essential. I also discuss how this habit gives you the freedom to say yes to what matters and no to what doesn't, and how it helps you spot patterns where you need more support or boundaries.

Canada is lagging behind the U.S. in productivity—and here's one reason why: we're not using Virtual Assistants. While American investors scale faster with offshore talent, most Canadians are still doing it all themselves. In this episode, we unpack the Canadian VA gap—why it exists, how to bridge it, and how to tap into plug-and-play VAs who are skilled, motivated, and ready to help you scale smarter. It's time Canadian investors like you stopped leaving leverage on the table.
In this episode I want to talk about a very important topics for VAs ... identifying what type of VA you are. This is something I see so many VAs struggle with, especially when they're starting out, but also even years into business. The question comes up again and again: What services should I offer? Should I niche down? Should I just try to learn something that's in demand? Today I'm going to walk you through some of the thought processes that can help you get clear on this, without giving you a one-size-fits-all answer. Because the truth is, the “right type of VA” looks different for everyone. Now, if you're listening and thinking, “Okay, I get this, but I still don't know how to put all the pieces together”. Don't worry, I've got something for you. I created a fun and easy quiz called What Type of VA Are You? It's designed to help you identify your natural strengths and figure out how those can shape your VA business. It only takes a few minutes, and you'll walk away with some results and cool info that give you clarity about the services and direction that are the best fit for you. So after you finish listening to this episode, head over and take the quiz at YourVAMentor.com/quiz. I can't wait to hear what type you get! Remember, the best VA business is the one that's built around your strengths, your passions, and the clients you most want to serve. That's what I tell you every week and I'm here to help. It's the only reason I'm here at all, to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant. Thanks for listening. That's all I've got for you this week. I'll see you next time.

Apply here.I didn't want to be cheap with my coaching business when I first started, so I generously spent money on experts of all sorts and hired a full time VA to do all the little things I couldn't be bothered with.I do believe my time is highly valuable—good mindset there—but, I only wanted to coach and that was short sighted. I delegated too much, which cost me 3 precious things:1. PROFIT because my expenses were unnecessarily high2. TIME because I constantly had to review my VA's work and chase them to correct mistakes3. KNOWLEDGE about how to run my business on my own, which was a HUGE liability.I gave my VA lots of chances before I let them go and when I did, I was lost because I didn't know anything about how to use the various apps.I want to help you make strategic decisions about delegating and avoid my mistakes.I'd love to hear from you.

Earle led the yoga philosophy department and taught meditation and yoga, while also studying Tibetan, Sanskrit, business, and a 7-year advanced program in Tibetan Buddhism. #energymedicine #spiritual #meditate About my Guest Earle BirneyEarle grew up an avid sports fan in Vancouver, Canada. With just 4 months left of study before obtaining a degree, he began to realize that a life of following “societal norms” — starting a career, buying a house, getting married, having kids — did not make sense or appeal to him. It felt confining rather than freeing. So instead, he took out a student loan, bought an around-the-world ticket, and went on his personal search for freedom. Fueled by liquid inspiration, Earle ironically ended up in Paremoremo, a maximum security prison in Auckland New Zealand where he remained as a guest for the next 22 months. This is where Earle met the practices of yoga, meditation, and Buddhist philosophy. Earle began studying the Asian Classics Institute program and shortly after returning to Canada, went to help him start the Diamond Mountain University and Retreat Center in the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona. Earle led the yoga philosophy department and taught meditation and yoga, while also studying Tibetan, Sanskrit, business, and a 7-year advanced program in Tibetan Buddhism. This period of study concluded with a 3 year 3 month 3 day silent meditation retreat.Taking his 27 years of experience, Earle thrives on making the often complicated teachings practical and relatable. Earle uses his expertise in retreat and his capacity to guide people along the stages of meditation, to help them in their spiritual journey.Earle is the head of curriculum development and lead teacher at the Yoga Studies Institute (YSI). YSI reaches over 10,000 students annually, leading students in yoga programs and retreats, meditation teacher trainings, and philosophy workshops. Earle also teaches and leads meditation programs at the Three Jewels Outreach Center in NYC for many students, including beginning meditators, people training to become meditation teachers, and advanced practitioners looking to deepen their practice in retreat.What we Discussed: 00:10 Who is Earle Birney 01:00 His Journey to understand life05:35 4 months from finishing his Degree and quit07:40 The plan was to work and kep travelling08:18 How he got into selling Acid09:30 Getting a warning he should have listened to10:28 The Process of Getting Arrested11:40 His Court Experience14:20 His experience in Prison15:50 How did his Parents react to the situation17:00 After 5 month how was the prison experience18:55 The jobs in the Prison20:30 What was his Mindset when he know he was getting out22:45 Was there any treatment in Prison to help with drug use25:00 The Journey after Prison28:00 7 Years in a Buddist centre29:00 3 Years 3 Months & 3 Day silent retreat29:50 How did they cover costs30:45 Spending 3 years to go inwards for yourself31:45 The Structure of the Retreat33:19 How was his mind in the 1st few days35:25 After the Retreat what was the next part of his journey38:00 Fast for Hunger40:20 Give Dignity to the Homeless41:00 What Meditation do they Teach and his Practice43:30 When People say they can not Meditate46:00 Getting Tired in Meditation49:14 Walking on the beach worked for me Meditating50:48 The Free Resources on his WebsiteHow to Contact Earle Birneywww.yogastudiesinstitute.orghttps://www.instagram.com/samayogastudio/All about Roy / Brain Gym & Virtual Assistants at https://roycoughlan.com/

In this episode, I'm sharing my favorite productivity tip: the 30-minute catch all block. As a mom and business owner, I know how overwhelming it can be to juggle constant inputs and endless micro-tasks. That's why I schedule one or two dedicated 30-minute blocks each day—midday and/or at the end of the day—to batch tasks like replying to emails, returning messages, and handling admin work. This simple shift has helped me reduce task switching, clear mental clutter, and protect my focus time for deep work. I use my digital calendar to make these blocks non-negotiable, so I can stay in control and be less reactive throughout the day. If you're looking for more clarity, calm, and productivity, try adding a catch all block to your routine. Plus, if you haven't already, check out my free training on the habits and routines that help me balance business and motherhood here.

In this episode, I am joined by Sara Wiles, mom, wife, and business mentor, for an honest conversation about what ADHD looks like in her marriage and parenting, and the strategies that create more balance and connection at home. We also talk about what it means to build a business that supports your life instead of the other way around. Sara's openness about marriage, motherhood, and entrepreneurship is a breath of fresh air for anyone who has ever felt “too much,” “not enough,” or simply wired differently in their relationship. Tune in to discover: • Why marriage after kids feels like building the plane while flying it• The role of repair in relationships and why it matters more than getting it perfect• How ADHD shows up in both business and marriage and how to make it work for you• The truth about highlight reels, comparison, and what we don't see in other people's marriages• What it means to build a life-first business (and why it matters for moms and families)Connect with Sara on Instagram: @sara_wilesLearn more about becoming a Virtual Assistant: startandgrowco.comThe Us System: https://marriedafterkids.com/the-us-systemFREE Marriage Shutdown Checklist: https://marriedafterkids.com/marriage-shutdown?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=links&utm_campaign=MSoptinConnect with me for a FREE Married After Kids Intervention Call: https://marriedafterkids.satoriapp.com/offers/277730-married-after-kids-intervention-callFollow me on Instagram so you don't miss a thing! www.instagram.com/marriedafterkids
