In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I tackle one of the misconceptions that I hear from B2B consultants all the time! They want to get to seven figures, but they also love the idea of a lifestyle business - and they think they can't have both. I talk about how it's possible to create a ‘seven-figure lifestyle business' by offering high-ticket consulting packages, streamlining operations, and pricing based on expertise - not hours.  I also introduce my VIP Strategy Intensive, designed to help consultants craft $100,000 offers and a clear revenue map. With the right strategy and support, you can achieve both financial success and personal freedom.   Quotes:  “The big thing that we all want post corporate and that feels elusive for so many consultants, is the freedom lifestyle. The time freedom. Not just replicating your 80 hour working weeks in your business, or feeling like you just swapped entities from being employed to self employed but apart from that very little has changed.” “Because this work involves getting paid for your brain and your corporate experience, not getting paid for the hours you work or the outputs and deliverables you produce - this can be very light on time. They're not paying you for the hours, they're paying you for the years.” “I often say to my clients: look we are taking you into unknown territory here. You've worked hard all your life - through school, in your exams, through college, through your corporate career. You know how to work hard but you're ready to learn how to work smart. And it might feel uncomfortable at first but it is worth it.”   Useful Links Free Guide: The Business Remodel - Craft Your $100k Offer Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Join the weekly newsletter for women consultants Buy Too Much on Amazon Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn Follow Jessica on Instagram

What if midlife wasn't a crisis but a calling? When entrepreneur Janet Lewis hit that inevitable midlife “what now” moment, she didn't retreat or play it safe. She reinvented herself. After decades in e-commerce and corporate consulting, she traded the hustle for human connection and built a thriving network that's redefining how women in business support each other. In this episode, Janet joins me to talk about what it really takes to pivot in midlife and build something meaningful. We dig into the messy middle between who you were and who you want to become and what it takes to make that leap without losing your mind, your money, or your confidence. Together we explore: • How to recognize when it's time for a change and what to do about it • The truth about midlife fear, reinvention, and finding purpose after forty • Why women need to stop discounting their worth and start charging like grown-ass professionals • How to build a network that is based on collaboration, not competition • The importance of boundaries, community, and showing up even when you don't feel ready Janet's story is proof that midlife isn't the end of opportunity. It's the sweet spot where wisdom, experience, and courage finally meet. Her pivot from running an online business to creating a thriving women's community shows that when you lead with purpose and connection, everything else follows. So if you've ever looked around your life and thought, “Is this it?” consider this your sign. Reinvention doesn't require starting over. It just asks that you finally start showing up as yourself.

In this episode of the ROCC Pod, we sit down with Brandi Freeman and Amy Warner, co-owners of Club Pilates, to discuss how Pilates fits into modern life, especially for busy professionals, parents, and aging bodies. We begin by acknowledging the real-life challenges of prioritizing fitness while juggling responsibilities. Brandi and Amy share that between the two of them, they manage seven kids — yet still find time to prioritize their own health. They emphasize that motivation ebbs and flows, but creating a consistent routine can transform exercise into a natural part of daily life.We explore the roots of Pilates, originally developed by Joseph Pilates to rehabilitate war veterans. With control and alignment at its core, Pilates combines movement, breath, and mental focus for full-body wellness. Club Pilates offers a contemporary take on classical Pilates, with a strong emphasis on Reformer Pilates — a form that uses resistance machines to strengthen the body while improving flexibility, mobility, and posture. Amy and Brandi explain that this method isn't just for one demographic. They've trained everyone from clients in their 90's to professional athletes, showcasing Pilates' adaptability and universal benefit.Throughout the episode, we hear how Pilates helps people recover from injuries, extend the effects of physical therapy, and prevent pain from creeping in with age. Many of their clients are at the point in life where their previous fitness routines no longer serve them. Pilates becomes a pain-free, effective alternative that still delivers strength and flexibility. Their instructors, each trained with over 500 hours of certification, customize classes to meet each member where they are — whether it's rehab, aging gracefully, or athletic performance.We also dive into how Brandi and Amy turned their shared passion for fitness into a growing business. What began with a conversation in a gym parking lot led to nine Club Pilates studios across Michigan, with Royal Oak being the newest addition and Commerce Township soon to follow. They also speak warmly of their experience joining the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce and how supportive the community has been in helping them launch locally.To wrap, they invite listeners to try a free introductory class — a gentle entry point into Pilates that includes a sample workout and a personalized membership consultation. For those curious but unsure, the message is clear: Pilates is for everybody, and every body.Connect with Club Pilates Royal Oak at119 South Main Street, right downtown Their phone number is (248) 955-4011.

From building a billion-dollar beauty empire to starting over at 60, Bobbi Brown's story is one of grit, grace, and growth…but behind her success lies a deep journey of reinvention.

She shares how she rebuilt her life and career with her clean beauty line, Jones Road, what keeps her grounded as a mother and grandmother, and why she believes the best chapters don't end with success, but begin when you find the strength to start over.

Today, I'm talking about one of the biggest things that often paralyzes entrepreneurs, fear. Fear can show up in so many forms: fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of not being enough, or fear of what others might think. And while it might feel like fear is stopping all your progress and keeping you stuck, I want you to remember this, fear does not release you from your calling. The purpose God placed on your life and business doesn't disappear just because you're afraid. In fact, it's often in those fearful moments that you're being stretched, strengthened, and prepared for what's next. In today's episode, I want to help you face that fear head-on and move forward with faith and confidence. You'll walk away feeling encouraged, equipped, and ready to take bold steps toward the vision you've been called to, no matter what obstacles try to stand in your way.

Revenue looks great on paper, but you still feel broke. This disconnect between what the numbers show and what your bank account reflects is one of the most frustrating experiences for women entrepreneurs. You're working harder than ever, your sales are growing, yet somehow there's never enough left over to feel truly secure or to invest in the things that would actually move your business forward.   We so rarely have frank conversations about where money actually flows in our businesses. While the entrepreneurial world loves to talk about growing revenue and scaling teams, nobody's teaching you how to analyze whether your money is flowing through your business in a way that sets you up for profit or exhaustion.   Listen in this week as Eleanor walks you through the margin stack framework: four critical cost allocations between revenue and profit that tell the complete story of your business health. You'll discover why growing revenue without proper profit architecture leads to resentment and burnout, and exactly which numbers reveal whether you're building wealth or just feeding an expensive machine.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO72   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en

When opportunity doesn't knock, some women build their own door — and that's exactly what Lauren Wittenberg Weiner did. As a military spouse stationed overseas, Lauren refused to accept the limits placed on her career. Lauren is the author of Unruly, where she reminds women that following the rules doesn't mean following everyone else. She's living proof that grit, purpose, and innovation can turn barriers into breakthroughs. She calls herself an “accidental entrepreneur.” Unable to find work, she forged her own path in the male-dominated world of government contracting — and ended up building an empire that empowers military spouses. Lauren founded WWC Global, now one of the largest woman-owned contracting firms in Tampa Bay. Her company made history by landing a $200 million U.S. Special Operations Command award, supporting elite units like the Navy SEALs and Green Berets. Over two decades, she scaled WWC Global to nearly $100 million in annual revenue before selling it in 2022 — all while employing more than 250 military spouses around the world. She also founded In Gear Career, a nonprofit that merged with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring Our Heroes program, helping thousands of military spouses sustain meaningful employment through every PCS move.
