The 7-Figure Freedom Podcast

On last week’s episode, we discussed our rebrand through the lens of the client: what’s new about our offers, what you can expect from working with us, and what you as an audience can expect to see from here on out. This week, I want to give you a closer look behind the curtain and explain some of the signs I saw that let me know the time for a business restructure was fast approaching…and what we...

Here at 7-Figure Freedom, we’re not only entering a new year…we’re entering a new era of business with new branding, new offers, and new processes all focused on giving YOU the best client experience possible! There are many incredible things we’ve always offered in order to help you scale your business to 7 figures, but we’ve added new facets to our current offers in order to widen our scope and...

Last time, we talked about the five stages of growing your business to seven figures. This week, I want to dive a little deeper into these stages, starting with the first two: the Dream-Up Stage and the Startup Stage. The Dream-Up Stage is the most exciting—and terrifying—stage of business. It’s all about doing exactly what it’s named for: dreaming up every aspect of your business, from what servi...

When starting a business, the question on so many entrepreneurs’ minds is this: “How do I make a million dollars?” I won’t sugarcoat it for you…getting to a million dollars is one of the absolute hardest milestones to reach in your business. Only 9% of businesses in the US ever hit that goal. Not only that, but 50% of small businesses fail before hitting the 5-year mark.  I don’t say these things...

If you are finding yourself unable to scale your business to the next level…the problem might be your dedication to helping it grow. Not a lack of dedication, but an excess of it. When we become too hands-on with the day-to-day operations of our business, the business begins to rely on us to keep it growing the way we want. But no one person is able to juggle that many balls, and eventually, some...

Whenever I guest on other podcasts or am invited to speak at summits, there are always recurring questions I'm asked, and I've begun to notice a pattern—not only with them but with the questions you all bring to me, as well! Though some of these questions have been answered on previous podcast episodes, I hope that by compiling them into one episode, this will become a good resource for yo...

It is absolutely vital that you prioritize building a team that will help you carry out your vision for your business, but I have advice for you that you may not have heard before: when it comes to hiring VAs, start your search in the Philippines.   Believe me, I've heard all the reasons why CEOs choose not to do this; in fact, when I first started hiring in the Philippines, I made all the sam...

There is one key difference that separates five and six-figure business owners from seven and eight-figure business owners: radical responsibility.   There is no blaming others for your choices as the CEO. There is no panicking over mistakes. There is only accepting your responsibility, learning the lesson, and moving on.   What does radical responsibility look like in practice? I'm here today...

You frequently hear about scaling in the business world. But the true definition and what it really means to scale aren't talked about as much.  In today's episode, I'm going to talk about what it truly looks like to scale a business.  We'll cover: What scaling your business is NOT... What scaling your business IS... How do you know when your business is ready for scaling... The di...

Has your business been growing and growing beautifully since its conception, but recently, you've found it to be...stagnating? Unable to grow past a certain ceiling?   All business owners hit this point eventually: I call it a growth plateau. It's when no matter what you try or say or do, your business just can't seem to grow any further than it already has.   Does this mean you're...

I'm so excited to have a dear friend and now client, Sharla Jacobs on the podcast today! Sharla and her husband and business partner, Jesse Koren, have been called “the #1 Source for turning Coaches and Holistic Practitioners into 6-figure transformational leaders.”   In the past 18 years, Thrive Academy Members have earned hundreds of millions of dollars collectively. And now Jesse and Sharla...

This week, we're diving into the most intimidating part of the sales process: making the offer.   You've done the work. You've assessed your potential client and their business, you've listened to the language they use, you've pondered whether or not they align with the culture of your business, and everything's coming up as a great big YES! This client is a great fit for y...

Finding your perfect fit client can be a tricky subject. Sometimes we get into the mindset of the more clients, the better our business will be.  But if you’ve ever had a client that didn’t align with your business you know that’s not always true. When you’re working toward a truly soul-fueling client relationship then it’s important to access them properly.  In today’s episode, I’m going to talk...

Are your clients costing you more than they’re worth?   If you’re working with the wrong clients…the truth is probably.   In the beginning of your business journey, it can be tempting to take on clients no matter who they are, just to make sure you’re growing your business and your income.    But what is the cost of working with clients that aren’t actually a fit? And what does that actually mean?...

Whatever you’re thinking about your sales track record, you’re wrong.    “If I only had more leads”...then what? You’d have more reach? More business? More success? I hear from my own clients all the time how if they could only drum up more leads, they wouldn’t struggle so much with their sales. If this sounds familiar, I can see why you might feel that way, and you’re not alone.    You’re also pr...

I’ve seen many entrepreneurs make poor decisions for their business that cost them dearly. Every time a rash or incorrect decision is made, it means wasted time, energy, and money. These are precious resources that, as a CEO, you don’t want to lose out on. That’s why this episode revolves around how you can make sound business decisions and stay on track. I have a lot of experience with this, and...

The top priority in my business is getting you the results you want to see in your own business. And I know from my own experience that you strive for more freedom and the ability to stop being bogged down by the day-to-day tasks of your business. The most effective way I’ve found to do that is by hiring, training, and installing a project manager into your business. In this episode, I’m discussin...

I’ve hired many online business managers in my day and I’ve come to see some things that are worrisome about them. Because I want your business to scale in an incredible way, for you to achieve the freedom you desire, and to spend your resources in the best possible way, I’m laying out those observations in this episode of the podcast.   When you’re setting out to reach the seven-figure earning ma...

I’ve worked with a lot of CEOs, and I’ve noticed six common habits that prohibit these visionaries from reaching the seven-figure earning mark in their business. I’m explaining these habits in the latest episode of the podcast.   Not reaching the seven-figure mark isn’t all about money, either. It also means a lessened impact, less spaciousness to think and grow, and less freedom in your life over...

I’m currently coming to you with this episode from Sweden, as my husband and I are enjoying our summer here - away from the Texas summer heat. Because of my ability to split my time between the U.S. and Europe yet still run a successful business, many people ask me, “how do you do it?” In this episode, I’m answering that question! And beyond that, I’m letting you know how you can have the same fre...

Many years ago, my business operated a lot differently than it does today. One of the biggest changes between then and now is that now, I have a completely virtual team. In fact, many of my employees are based overseas in the Philippines. My journey to this way of operating is what I’m talking about in today’s episode.   The path I took to this is maybe not one you’d expect. I approached it at a t...

Business mentors can make such a huge difference in our lives and work, and I’m a first-hand example of that. My mentor Lenny Coco is someone I met at the beginning of my career, and the things he taught me are still with me to this day: 35 years later! One of those lessons is the topic for today’s episode: the art of acknowledgment.   Employees crave recognition, but very few CEOs are actually aw...

I’ve encountered many CEOs that are constantly frustrated and end up micro-managing their team. The thing is - I know why this happens. I’ll let you in on the secret: it’s because they’re not fulfilling their true role as a CEO. That’s what I want to talk about in this episode because it’s so important that these roles are carried out properly in order to really let your business soar.   Without p...

Holding your team accountable may not be something you’re in the habit of doing, but it should be. Stepping into this habit will do amazing things for you as a CEO, will make your team happier, and will help grow your business. Yes, it’s that powerful! That’s why it’s the topic of conversation in today’s episode.   Many CEOs are tempted to just hire a project manager to come in and create rules an...

Are you ready for a peek behind the curtain? In today’s episode, I go behind the scenes of what it was like to build my own team. This wasn’t always smooth sailing, and I learned so much throughout the process. That’s what I want to share with you today.   Where I was then and where I am now are two totally different places, and while I’m much happier now — I am better for the lessons I took away...
