From Doubt to Triumph: Hitting the 6-Figure Dream with Jai Long's Business Map [EP256]
39m · PublishedIn this heartening episode of 'Make Your Break,' we sit down with an inspiring entrepreneur who has shattered her own glass ceiling.
Raised in a household where making ends meet was a daily struggle, she never imagined that a six-figure income was within her reach. Despite her skepticism and a deeply ingrained belief that such success wasn't "in the cards" for her, she took the leap of faith.
After leaving her 9-5 in August, she joined Jai Long's Business Map by November, determined to make her first full year in business count. The journey was fraught with self-doubt and unmet goals, leading to weeks of self-criticism. But in a moment of truth, the numbers revealed a different story – she had just edged past the six-figure mark.
With tears of joy and a decade and a half of dreams finally realized, she shares her emotional journey of transformation. This episode is not just about the strategies and upsells that helped her reach that elusive financial goal; it's about the power of belief, the courage to try new things, and the relentless pursuit of a dream.
Join us as we delve into a story of perseverance, the ups and downs of chasing a seemingly impossible goal, and the pivotal role Jai Long's Business Map played in turning her aspirations into reality. It's a testament to the fact that a little belief in oneself can indeed go a long way. Whether you're a skeptic, a dreamer, or somewhere in between, this episode will inspire you to break through your own barriers and perhaps, rewrite your financial destiny.

Elevating Client Experiences: From Good to Great [EP255]
28m · PublishedIn this insightful episode of Make Your Break with Jai Long, we delve into the crucial role of client experience in shaping successful businesses. We start by exploring why client experience isn't just a part of marketing, but a key element that adds value and defines pricing. Jai discusses how exceptional client experiences contribute to building a robust brand identity.
We'll then step onto the path of practical strategies, beginning with the intriguing 'Muffin Story' and its lessons on simplicity and ease in customer interactions. The episode emphasizes that the client journey should be effortless for both parties, warning against the pitfalls of making it easy for the business but cumbersome for the client.
Jai takes a closer look at the experience from an educator's perspective, highlighting the challenges of not having a Virtual Assistant (VA) or Personal Assistant (PA). He stresses how being overly busy can affect client relationships and raises a critical question: Is it the individual or the business that's too busy?
Further, we examine the financial dynamics of businesses, pondering whether prioritizing personal gains over business needs is truly beneficial in the long run. The concept of 'Pattern Interrupt' is introduced as a means to break conventional molds in client relations.
The episode also advises against delaying rewards or gifts for clients, drawing an analogy with restaurants to illustrate the impact of timely appreciation. Finally, Jai underscores the importance of collaboration and connection with others in elevating client experiences.
Join us on this journey to transform your client interactions from ordinary transactions into memorable experiences.
