In this replay, you'll hear the panelists answer questions from our live audience and Jenni will relay the questions to the panelists. It's everything you would want to know about whether or not you should use ads when you first start out, how to transfer your skill from one-to-one to one-to-many, what it actually takes to build a beta and launch it, how they price their beta and how they converted beta members into a backend membership.

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today, Jenni is live in the studio with none other than the Next Level "Breakthrough of the Year" winner, Chanelle Jefferson. Every year at Business by Design Live, a handful of finalists take the stage to share their massive transformations in a five-minute, TED-Talk-style presentation. The live audience votes, and Chanelle took home the top honor along with a $20,000 cash prize. Why? Because she completely revolutionized how artists sell their work, choosing to step off the exhausting, traditional hamster wheel of hoping and praying at gallery shows to build an incredibly intentional, highly profitable digital machine. Chanelle opens up about her raw journey from running a chaotic, all-consuming $300k service business with zero profit, zero structure, and a team member she had to babysit, to finding true alignment. She reveals how she looked her numbers in the eye, restructured her entire business model using the core principles of Business by Design, and built a sustainable, multiple six-figure ecosystem with a consistent 40% to 50% profit margin - plus so much more! This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business. Because when you see someone just a few steps ahead of what you're doing, something powerful happens. James's biggest free training of the year is right around the corner… The Business Breakthrough Experience - and the first live training kicks off TOMORROW, June 11th. And leading up to it, we're creating even more opportunities for you to get the coaching, clarity, and momentum your business truly deserves. We've been hosting a special series of live panels featuring incredible Digital CEOs—like Chanelle—who are in it, doing it, and ready to share what's actually working right now.

Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today, Jenni is joined by none other than one of James's groomsmen, closest friends, and the ultimate "Messaging Maestro," Brandon Lucero! Brandon is a staple in the Business by Design community and a frequent guest speaker at events, renowned for teaching entrepreneurs the art of crafting the perfect offer through strategic messaging. In this episode, Brandon shares his raw journey from running a successful but draining service-based video business to finding himself $40,000 in debt, only to completely turn it around by building a highly systematized online machine. He opens up on how he used the core philosophies of BBD to pivot abruptly, scale his business to $2.5 million a year, and top it off, dramatically disconnect his time from his money in the process!

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today, Jenni is joined by Megan Blacksmith, an NLP trainer and certifier who has built not one, but TWO multiple 6-figure businesses inside BBD. She started in women's hormone and brain health coaching, hit a $150,000 goal in 45 days, and then pivoted her entire business around a tool she originally discovered for personal reasons. Megan shares how she turned a zero-sale launch into one of her most effective entry-point offers, built a ladder of live events and certifications that feed seamlessly into each other, and learned that the real ceiling on her revenue had nothing to do with her marketing. Plus, we get into the mindset shifts that changed everything, and why the entrepreneurs who win are usually just the ones willing to keep showing up and repeat what works. This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business. Because when you see someone just a few steps ahead of what you're doing, something powerful happens. James's biggest free training of the year is right around the corner… The Business Breakthrough Experience - and the first live training kicks off June 11th. And in the weeks leading up to it, we're creating even more opportunities for you to get the coaching, clarity, and momentum your business truly deserves. Starting this June, we're hosting a special series of live panels featuring incredible Digital CEOs—like Megan—who are in it, doing it, and ready to share what's actually working right now.

We'd love to hear what resonated with you the most from this episode and especially what you want covered in future ones. In this episode you'll hear: Why a zero-sale launch didn't stop Megan from turning that same offer into one of her most powerful entry points How she built a ladder of offers where each one naturally feeds the next and the impact this has had on how she now fills her live events The difference between aligning your offer and aligning your launch and why getting both right is what actually moves the needle The stay-till-the-end bonus that drove a 45 percent show-up rate and kept nearly everyone in the room until the final minute Why the years where Megan's business slowed down had nothing to do with her marketing What scaling actually looks like from the inside and the moment Megan realized her revenue cap was really an emotional one How the offers that didn't land the way she planned ended up opening doors she never would have thought to knock on Why the entrepreneurs who do really well aren't doing something flashy and what they're actually doing instead For full show notes and links, visit: www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com/blog/831

Most entrepreneurs are out here making decisions based on a story their brain made up. And I get it, because I used to do the same thing! But after 19 years and over $100 million in online sales, I know one thing for certain, and it's that your feelings about how a campaign performed and what actually happened are almost never the same thing. Today, I'm getting into one of my absolute favorite topics, the language of numbers. We're talking EPL, conversion rates, landing page performance, and the one metric I've been obsessing over for a decade that makes scaling feel less like gambling and more like simple math. This isn't really about numbers at all though. It's about getting out of the emotional roller coaster of business and into the driver's seat. When you know what's actually going on under the hood, the fear goes away, the clarity shows up, and you finally know exactly what to fix and what to leave alone. If you've ever walked away from a campaign not knowing whether it was good or bad, this is one you're going to want to tune into! Ready to stop thinking like a marketer and start operating like a true business owner? We're kicking off a powerful, brand-new experience on June 11th called The Business Breakthrough Experience.

We'd love to hear what resonated with you the most from this episode and especially what you want covered in future ones. In this episode you'll hear: Why your brain is actually the last thing you should trust when your business feels like it's falling apart The quiet confidence killer hiding inside every entrepreneur who thinks they finally "know" their audience What a glass of wine and a robot noise taught me about everything I thought I knew about marketing [4:03] Why the people scrolling Instagram for business education are playing a game that was never designed for them to win The uncomfortable pattern I keep seeing in this industry that nobody wants to say out loud The one number I've been tracking for over 10 years that makes the fear of running ads completely disappear Why getting more people into your funnel might be the least interesting way to grow your business The registration page "improvement" AI keeps recommending that is quietly doing the opposite of what you think For full show notes and links, visit: www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com/blog/830

Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. In this episode, we're joined by Maytal, a professional dancer turned healing movement coach who built a multiple 6-figure membership business in under 3 years. Guess what? She started with zero knowledge of email automation! After a car accident left her unable to dance, Maytal discovered the Feldenkrais method and created a unique fusion of healing and dance. Maytal shares how she scaled from $1K to $10K months in her first year inside BBD, built a team that ran her business during 6 months of cancer treatment, and shifted from massive live launches to automated webinars. Plus, we dive into her heart-centered marketing approach and why the BBD community became the most meaningful self-development journey of her life. This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path.

Struggling to get people to say "YES" to your offer? Here's the truth: you don't have a marketing problem, you have an offer problem. And everything in your business hinges on getting this one thing right! In this episode, I'm breaking down the art and science of crafting magnetic offers that practically sell themselves. We're talking about the difference between selling a product and selling an offer, why AI has changed the game, and how to create something so irresistible that people feel like they're getting the deal of a lifetime. Most entrepreneurs are just trying to sell their course or membership without understanding what makes an offer truly magnetic. Now is the time to stop putting your stuff in a box, start delivering 10 times the value of what you charge, and finally master the most important skill in business: the irresistible offer!

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. In this episode, we're joined again by Dr. Tessa Davis, an ER pediatrician who built a 7-figure business helping UK doctors prep for senior job interviews, in a market of only 5,000 eligible candidates per year! With no prior business experience, Tessa launched her first cohort within 30 days of joining BBD and has run the same live webinar launch…14 times since! Tessa reveals the community-building strategies that make her students feel supported during high-pressure interviews, her lean contractor-based team structure, and the testimonial process that gave her million-dollar messaging. Plus, we dive into why niching down to a tiny market was the key to scaling up and how she went from 6 to 7 figures by truly knowing her clients. This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business. Because when you see someone just a few steps ahead of what you're doing, something powerful happens. James's biggest free training of the year is right around the corner… The Business Breakthrough Experience.

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. In this episode, we're joined by Amoya Shante, the creator of the Law of Delusion, who found herself hitting a wall after building a 6-figure business on energetics alone. Despite her success, she was caught in a cycle of overworking and tearing down offers, acting as the primary bottleneck in a business that felt more like a high-stakes hobby than a scalable machine. Amoya reveals the strategic pivot that led to a 145 percent revenue jump while allowing her to step into a rest-first lifestyle. We dive into the unique mechanics of her Paid Challenge Model, the psychological tactics she uses to turn low-ticket buyers into high-level mastermind students, and the identity shift required to stop making decisions based on where you are and start leading from where you're going! This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business. Because when you see someone just a few steps ahead of what you're doing, something powerful happens. James's biggest free training of the year is right around the corner… The Business Breakthrough Experience. And in the weeks leading up to it, we're creating even more opportunities for you to get the coaching, clarity, and momentum your business truly deserves. Starting this June, we're hosting a special series of live panels featuring incredible Digital CEOs—like Amoya—who are in it, doing it, and ready to share what's actually working right now. These aren't just sit-back-and-watch sessions… You'll be able to join us live on Zoom, ask your questions, and get real-time coaching from experts who have been exactly where you are.

Are you sitting there looking at a launch that tanked or a conversion rate that makes you want to pull your hair out? If so, I have some news for you: it isn't a predicament, it's just a problem. And in 3D reality, every problem has a guaranteed solution! In this episode, I am breaking down the science of why people aren't buying and the three root causes behind every "no" you hear. We're looking at the data, but more importantly, we're looking at you. Most entrepreneurs waste 90 percent of their energy on the stuff that doesn't actually move the needle, and now is the time to stop chasing the next magic bullet, start mastering the art of the offer, and finally learn the language of your numbers! Ready to stop thinking like a marketer and start operating like a true business owner? We're kicking off a powerful, brand-new experience on June 11th called The Business Breakthrough Experience.

If you're treating AI as a shortcut to work less, guess what? You're already behind! We are drowning in a sea of average, and if you let a bot lead your strategy, you're just building a digital McDonald's.

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today's guest is Betsy Sabatini, the "Zoom Queen" who traded her brick-and-mortar office for a scalable digital empire built on high-value, $97 products! After shifting fully to the virtual world in 2020, she mastered the art of the beta launch and turned her YouTube channel into an automated lead-generation machine. In this episode, Betsy reveals how she moved past the "scaling ceiling" of one-on-one training to reach 6-figures, why she views business metrics as a recipe rather than a personal reflection, and how she continues to use the Monetize Before You Make It framework to design a business that is both fun to deliver and built to last! This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business.

How do you hit that pricing "sweet spot" without feeling like you're just pulling numbers out of thin air? We're irrational, emotional creatures, and if you don't actually believe in your price, believe me when I say that you'll never sell it! Today, I'm breaking down the three "M" variables you need to align to stop overthinking and start charging today. I reveal why asking what people are willing to pay is a trap, how your price acts as a silent filter for high-caliber students, and why starting just 10% outside your comfort zone is the secret to walking your way to your goal. So if you're building from scratch or even you're a seasoned pro, it's time to stop projecting insecurities onto your offers. Get your reps in, own your value, and start treating your products with the same respect and confidence you'd show your own kids!
