#341. You Hit the Goal, So Why Does It Still Not Feel Like Enough?
I've just come off the most concentrated month of client work I've had in a long time. Ibiza with my Self-Made Millionaire clients, the Gold Mastermind workshop straight after, and a full month of coaching sessions. Basically back-to-back rooms full of women building seriously ambitious things. And the same conversation kept happening everywhere. Different women at different revenue stages, but all of them carrying this quiet tension underneath: I've built something real, I've even hit goals the version of me from five years ago would be proud of… So why does it not feel like I thought it would? In this podcast episode, I'm sharing the 3 mindset shifts that came up again and again. We’ll dive in the 2.5x salary fallacy and why so many women are physically present in their lives but mentally still working. Rich is not a revenue milestone, it's not what's in your bank account, it's what's in your day.

#340. 5 Ways Women I Coach Scale Their Income Without Becoming The Bottleneck
I coach women from their very first digital product all the way up to founders doing over a million a year, and I can tell you the bottleneck is almost always the same thing: the founder is still doing work that has no business being on her plate. In this Fail to Win podcast episode, I walk you through 5 specific ways women I have coached scale their income without scaling their hours. I’m not giving you the generic 'just build a course' advice. I’ll give you real examples, including how I went from manually making invoices in Excel to running an AI inbox system that replaced years of PA costs and how I turned my personal training conversations into my first 30-day evergreen course way before that sh*t was easy. Your hours are limited, but your rate absolutely is not so I want to share with you the 3-step path one of my clients took from employed and terrified to running her own business on her terms. If you want to figure out what a digital product could look like for your specific business, even if you have no clue right now, use my free IdeaGPT at fastforwardamy.com/ideagenerator.

In this episode, I share what I am actually doing right now to 10x my income this decade, not by adding more to the pile, but by thinking and building completely differently.

I break down the 5 specific shifts I am making but this is not a strategy episode. It is a window into how I am thinking about the next 10 years as a multi-7-figure business owner, and an honest conversation about what it actually takes to 10x without 10x-ing your hours.

#338. You're Not Too Much. The Room Is Too Small
Most people know the quote “You’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with”. You hear it, you feel it, so you get over yourself and spend multi 5 figures on a mastermind, a new coach and whatnot. You feel growth and inspiration, but even when you’ve done all of that - there's a secret layer to this nobody talks about openly: I’m talking about those rooms you’re in you can't easily leave. Because they’re your home. Maybe it’s your mom, your partner or your best friend from high school. When you spend enough time with someone who is playing a smaller game than you, you won't just feel it in your mood in the moment itself. You will subconsciously start filtering your goals through their ceiling, you will stop sharing your dreams out loud and slowly you’ll start playing a smaller game without realizing this is happening. My friend recently explained this to me perfectly: this is what we call getting enrolled in someone else's world. It costs more than most people realize when you cannot simply walk away from someone who’s - probably unintentionally - dragging you down. This episode also covers what actually shifts when you step into the right room, and why it's almost never about the strategies you learn in bigger rooms. If you've been wondering why your ceiling keeps moving down even as you grow, this one is for you.
