Business with Impact

Welcome to this special podcast episode featuring James Wedmore! This episode is the first in a six-episode secret podcast series where James and I are sitting down together to share some never-before-shared stories and take you behind-the-scenes in our online businesses.

We're going to talk about how long it took us to go from zero dollars in our business to six figures. We're also going to answer some of the questions that we get all of the time…Like when you’re just getting started, how do you start to scale? And what did it take to break through that six figure barrier and beyond?

We're really honored, humbled, and excited to have the opportunity to share our stories with you along with some of our biggest tips, mindset shifts, and takeaways that we know can transform your business if you'll let them.

If you're ready to get a little uncomfortable in a really good way…If you're ready to release some of the weight and the burden that maybe has even been holding you back…If you're ready to grow your online business and break through that seeming rut you may have felt like you're in…

Then get ready! Because this podcast could just be the thing that's going to change everything for you! We cannot wait to get started and go on this journey with you together.

Have you ever been told that in order to have predictability in your business and with your income, you have to have a recurring revenue stream?

Well on today’s Business With Impact episode, I’m going to bust that myth right out of the water!

This is by far one of my favorite topics to discuss! But I have to warn you… predictability in our business doesn't come from some of those really fancy, exciting new marketing strategies that you’ll see all over your social media feeds... Predictability in our business comes from understanding our numbers.

I'm going to show you that no matter what your niche is and no matter what your service is… you, too, can have predictability in your online business!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast, we're talking about one of my favorite topics.

MINDSET.

But if you would’ve asked me several years ago if this is one of my favorite topics… I would have laughed at you, rolled my eyes, and groaned inwardly. I thought that business really can't just be about mindset.

But you know what I’ve learned? That MINDSET is absolutely one of the main things that separates a hustling overwhelmed entrepreneur from an Impactful CEO.

And while there is absolutely action and strategy that must take place in order for you to go where you need to go, and do what you need to do in your online business, the thing that will have you actually taking those actions and putting yourself out there is a strong mindset.

And when you're willing to make these shifts in your business, they will set you up to be able to do the things you need to do. So let's dive in as we talk about four of these big lessons that I had to learn in my own business!

If you’ve been in business for any amount of time, chances are you may have felt like you’re talking about the SAME thing… over, and over, and over again.

So what do you do if you feel like a broken record? How can you keep excited about what seems to be the same topics time and time again?

And what do you do if you’re feeling like there’s nothing new to say (or worse - what if it’s been keeping you from being consistent)?

Believe it or not, this is such a normal thing for online business owners to feel.

Get ready for some tough love about why it’s important to keep doing the same things over and over again. And what to do when it feels BORING!

Let’s talk about it!

Have you ever noticed that some people seem like overnight successes? It feels like they just started their business yesterday and now they've hit a big milestone or a big goal, while others seem to struggle through it for years without much to show for it.

Why is that? Why is it that most people start a business and fail in the first 18 months? On today’s Business With Impact Podcast episode, I'm going to share with you the most important decision I made in my business that changed everything.

I am not an overnight success, but some may think I am. I want to share some behind the scenes of what happened and three ways to help you decide what your business needs.

Because if you've got a big heart to serve others and you're ready to step into that purpose, but you're having trouble getting in front of those people...That can change starting now.

Revenue seems to get a lot of attention in the online space. We hear about $10K months and we hear about seven figure success…

But what doesn't seem to get a lot of attention is the thing that we actually care about the most in our online business… And that is how much of that revenue stays in our bank account as PROFIT.

On today's episode, that's exactly what we're going to talk about. What’s the difference between the two and does it really matter? Let’s dive in!

You've probably heard me say at some point that you are one well-executed launch strategy away from your business breakthrough.

But what do I mean when I say “launch”? How are we defining “launching”? What is that big, fancy word? If we're not talking about rocket ships, what are we setting in motion?

We know that launching is such an important part of your business because if you’re not launching, then you’re not selling. And so when we’re speaking about launching, we’re speaking specifically about the sales mechanism that you select in and for your business.

So, on today’s episode we’re going to talk about that, but we’re also going to redefine launching in today’s polarized business culture.
