The Six-Figure Mistake That Almost Sank My Business
Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne
Picture this: Your business is rolling. Bank deposits are coming in. Clients feel steady. And then—bam.

Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne
You know what most business owners do in August? They coast. They slow down. They “wait until September” to get serious.

That’s why I just dropped a brand new episode of the Breadwinning Business Women podcast: Prep Your Business for a Profitable Fall (My SIMPLE 5-Step Routine) Inside, I’m breaking down exactly what to do right now to: Set clear sales targets that make your Q4 revenue predictable Lock in the...

How I Built My First Group Coaching Program to Scale My Business
Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne
Ever hit a wall in your business and wonder, ‘Is this all there is? At that moment I wanted to throw in the towel because it hit me like a ton of bricks: I can’t scale my business if I’m the only one doing the work. So, I took a leap. Instead of just coaching clients one at a time, I started a group program and brought on two coaches. It wasn’t the smoothest transition, but let me tell you—it was worth every second of discomfort. In this week’s episode of the Breadwinning Business Women podcast, I’m flipping the script a bit. For the last few weeks, we’ve been...

Package Your Expertise into a Scalable Group Offer
Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne
I met a brilliant service provider—a woman who helped C-suite executives get clear on their personal brand. When I asked about her client experience, she said: “Oh, it’s completely custom. Every single one is different.” My eyebrows raised. And my business coach radar went off. Because “completely custom” sounds luxurious—until you realize it’s also completely unsustainable. She was overdelivering, undercharging, and staying stuck in the cycle of trading dollars for hours. So I asked her: What if you didn’t have to keep teaching your expertise from scratch? What if your...

The Business Model That Gives You Your Time Back
Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne
I remember staring at my calendar—17 client calls booked for the week. Every hour filled. Every day color-coded and accounted for. I had built what some would call a “successful” business. But it didn’t feel like success. It felt like I was stuck in back-to-back Zoom sessions, trapped by my own creation. I loved my clients...but hated how I was living. And that’s when I realized something that changed everything: I hadn’t built a business—I had built a really demanding job. If your day’s are filled with client work, this week’s episode of the Breadwinning Business Women...

How to Reconnect with Clients and Get Referrals
Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne
This week, I did something I hadn’t done in a while. I opened up my client spreadsheet and started reading through the names of people I’ve worked with over the years—clients I loved serving. Some I hadn’t talked to in months, others in years. I’ll be honest… I hesitated. My brain kicked in with noise: “What if they think it’s weird I’m reaching out?” “What if they don’t even remember me?” I had to remind myself—and I want you to hear today: The value you delivered doesn't expire just because time has passed. If you helped someone win before, you can help them...

How to Brand Your Ideas into Intellectual Property (and Stand Out in a Crowded Market)
Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne
Let me ask you something: When your clients talk about what you do—do they repeat your language, or do they describe you the same way they describe everyone else in your space? Because here is what I see happening with a lot of high-achieving women entrepreneurs: They are amazing at what they do… but their ideas sound generic. Their offers sound like everyone else’s. And that is exactly why they are getting overlooked—or underpaid. The fix? It is all about turning your ideas into branded intellectual property. 🔑That is how you stand out. 🔑That is how you command premium prices....
