The Mind Your Business Podcast
It’s time for another installment of #BizTipFriday, and if you feel like your business has hit a ceiling, I have some news for you that might be a little tough to hear: Your business is a direct reflection of you.

Today, I break down the 5 most crucial things that only a real coach can provide. We’re moving past the "to-do lists" and the "Magic 8-Ball" style of advice to look at what actually causes a breakthrough! ...

I’ve always said great musicians don’t just play notes; they hear the music differently than the rest of us. They have "ear training." In this final installment of our coaching series, Jenni and I show you how to develop that same level of acuity for your coaching conversations. If you want to move past being a content creator and start becoming a master of results, you have to stop looking at what your clients are doing and start listening to the beliefs they are holding. I’m walking you through my exact plan of attack for dismantling the invisible architecture of a client’s...

If you are in the business of digital products, education, or coaching, you aren't just a content creator - you are in the business of solving problems and producing results. But I’ve learned that results rarely come from transferring more information; they come from the quality of the questions you ask. As we continue our special series on coaching, Jenni and I share the art of powerful questioning. We explore why most coaches stay stuck in "why" traps that lead to circular thinking, and how you can use the right questions, at the right time, to bypass a client’s ego and spark real...

One of the most common dilemmas facing coaches today is the struggle between being a "teacher" of information and a true "partner" in transformation. Much like the difference between knowing a concept and embodying it, these two roles are deeply interconnected, feeding into one another to create a powerful client experience, and Jenni and I are breaking it all down for you in this one. Today we look at why the age of information is officially over, how to transition from simply gatekeeping content to producing real results, and the foundational distinctions that separate an average coach from...

One of the most common dilemmas facing entrepreneurs today is what comes first: making the money or mastering the mindset to keep it? Much like the age-old "chicken or the egg" riddle, these two pillars of business are deeply interconnected, feeding into one another to create a thriving ecosystem, and Jenni and I are breaking it all down for you in this one. Today we look at where you should start in terms of a self-audit, how the three essential skills of money help you identify exactly where you should be pouring your energy based on the current stage of your business, and so much more....

What if I told you that 95% of the results in your business come from just 5% of your activities? And what if I told you that for most entrepreneurs, that 5% is the one thing they are actually avoiding or trying to outsource to a robot? Today, I’m talking all about messaging. I just wrapped up my three-day Million Dollar Messaging workshop for our Next Level coaching clients, and the breakthroughs were so huge that I had to bring some of those "behind-closed-doors" strategies to the podcast. In this episode, I’m breaking down how messaging isn't just content, it’s a strategic...

In this episode, I’m giving you an exclusive look inside our first 7-figure mastermind retreat of the year. This is the 10th year I’ve run this mastermind, and I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered observations of what is actually working in the online business space right now.
We’re diving into the framework that balances your growth, why your current plateau is actually an invitation to expand your "energetic container," and the one law of problem-solving that will change how you handle hurdles forever.
If you’ve been feeling like you’re working harder but staying in the same place, it’s likely because you’re running the wrong play. These are the specific patterns I’m seeing across the board with our highest-level students, and it’s time for you to use what they’re learning and step into the identity of a true Digital CEO too!
