What It Really Means to Be Productive and Paid as an Entrepreneur

Productive and Paid with Jamila Payne

Being productive and paid is not about doing more. It is about who you decide to be as a business owner. In this episode, I break down the identity shift behind Productive & Paid. The standards and expectations. It will change the way you see your time, your work, and your money. Because growth does not start with tactics. It starts with self-concept. I talk about the invisible standards you already live by. For money, availability and everything else that you tolerate. We'll cover how nothing changes in your business until your standards change. This episode is about raising the standard...

The Conversations Entrepreneurs Aren’t Having About Money

Productive and Paid with Jamila Payne

In this first episode of Productive & Paid, I am opening up a conversation most entrepreneurs avoid. Too many people talk about how much money they made, but they never explain how they made it. They post wins and big numbers, but skip the details that would actually help you grow. That lack of honesty creates confusion. It leads to underpricing, overworking, and women staying stuck longer than they need to be. I also call out the smoke and mirrors I see in business, especially in online education. I am not here for the performance. I want us to understand money for real. Not to chase it....

[BEST of 2025] Overcoming Overplanning: Take Action and Achieve Your Goals

Productive and Paid with Jamila Payne

This is one of our best Episodes of 2025. A few years ago,I had a brilliant idea for a new offer. I mapped it out in detail, brainstormed all the possibilities, and spent weeks refining it. Guess what? I never launched it. I got stuck in the overplanning cycle – tweaking, refining, and second-guessing. Sound familiar? The truth is, overplanning can feel productive, but it’s really just a sneaky form of procrastination. And it’s keeping you from the success (and revenue) you deserve. That’s why in this week’s episode of the Breadwinning Business Women podcast, we’re tackling:...

[Best of 2025] Collaborate to Accelerate: How Peer Partnerships Can Boost Your Revenue

Productive and Paid with Jamila Payne

Over 300,000. That’s how many business owners are in the communities that I did workshops for to in January alone. Sounds crazy, right? It’s a visibility strategy that I like to call OPP, otherwise known as other people’s people. Since I have yet to become Instagram famous, I had to figure out another way to grow my reach and impact more business owners. But then something clicked. I started thinking about how other people were growing their audiences—without all the hustle. And I realized they were doing something I wasn’t: they were collaborating. That’s when...

Managing the “Messy Middle” of Emotions in Business

Productive and Paid with Jamila Payne

You sit at your laptop. The email draft to a potential client is open. The cursor blinks. But you freeze. You tell yourself you’ll come back to it later. But “later” keeps turning into someday, maybe, never. That’s not procrastination. That’s success avoidance. In this week’s episode of Breadwinning Business Women, I’m breaking down how fear, doubt, and discomfort quietly sabotage your next level and how to stop letting emotions block your income. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to build your emotional edge—the skill that separates stuck entrepreneurs from those who...

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 talking about group coaching and why it’s such an amazing tool for scaling—but today, I’m giving you the real story: how I transitioned from one-on-one to group, and more importantly, how I knew I was ready.

I’m diving into:

The turning point that made me realize I needed to level up. It wasn’t about being busy—it was about being effective.
The unexpected lessons I learned about what makes group coaching different (and better!) than one-on-one). Hint: it’s not just the numbers.
The signs that will tell you when your business is ready to make the shift. It’s not about waiting for the “perfect” time; it’s about being honest with where you’re at.

So if you’ve been on the fence about whether group offers are the right fit for you or if you’ve been hearing all this talk about scaling and thought, “Yeah, that sounds great—but how do I get there?”—this episode is for you.

Listen to the full episode here.

I’m pulling back the curtain on the exact thought process that led me to create a group offer that truly worked—and I’m breaking down the mindset shifts and strategies that you need to think through to make the same leap.

By the end of it, you’ll have clarity on whether now’s the right time for your group program (and how to make it happen if it is).

You don’t have to be a “guru” or have everything figured out to build a successful group offer—you just need the right pieces in place. And trust me, you’ve got this.

Let’s make this happen.

P.S. After you listen, I want to hear from you. What’s the one thing that stands out most from this episode for you? DM me a on Instagram @JamilaPayneMBA, and let’s talk!
