The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss

Everyone talks about lead generation like it’s just a sales tool — grow your list, sell your offer, repeat. But what if it’s actually the secret to being seen? This week, I’m sharing what really happens when you commit to consistent lead gen — how it quietly builds your reputation, expands your reach, and gets your name showing up in rooms you didn’t even know existed. This Week on the Get Paid Podcast: The invisible ripple effect of consistent lead gen How visibility opens doors long before you pitch yourself The moment my own ads led to an unexpected full-circle moment ...

She couldn't run ads for an entire year, barely made our middle-of-the-night calls from Australia, and called herself our "worst client." Then she renewed anyway—and everything changed. Not because she attended more calls, but because of one conversation that gave her permission to believe something that transformed her selling.

What happens when your meditation podcast suddenly explodes overnight? Kelly Smith found out during the pandemic—and the aftermath wasn't what she expected.

What if your biggest hesitation about creating a bonus is actually the exact reason you should offer it? My Get Paid Marketing client was convinced she couldn't teach something to her students—until I showed her she was already 100 steps ahead of them. We dig into why expertise isn't about being perfect, and I push her toward a bonus idea that made her nervous for all the wrong reasons. This Week on the Get Paid Podcast: The bonus strategy that could change everything (even if you don't think you're "ready") Why your imposter syndrome might be costing you conversions How to know when...
