    How to Make Time for the Work That Actually Grows Your Business

    Buried in Day-to-Day Tasks? Learn How Deep Work Sessions Can Boost Your Productivity and Business Results What if I told you that dedicating just one day a month to deep work could completely change your business trajectory? In this episode, I'm sharing why deep work – focused, distraction-free time for high-impact activities – is the key to making those strategic decisions that will truly grow your business! Too many entrepreneurs (myself included!) spend time reacting rather than intentionally designing their business growth. I remember spending almost a year in reaction mode – something happened, I fixed it, something else happened, I troubleshooted...and I promise you, it was not my best revenue year! In this episode, I walk you through my clear framework for making deep work a habit and share real examples of how it's revolutionized my business – from creating an amazing leadership team to making tough decisions about downsizing. These weren't always comfortable choices, but they've absolutely set my business up to thrive. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Deep Work Creates Clarity – When you remove distractions, you can make those important decisions with confidence! It's all about working ON your business, not IN it – that's how you know you're doing it right. 2️⃣ One Day a Month is a Game Changer – Imagine 12 strategic work days in a year. They add up, especially since most of us never make time for this! You don't have time for deep work – you MAKE time for it. 3️⃣ Your Environment Matters – If you feel distracted at home (or tempted to take a nap – no judgement!), change your location. Set boundaries with your team, turn off notifications, and avoid "fake productivity" that keeps you in the weeds.

    Identifying Your Unique Success Markers (That Aren't Tied To Revenue) with Tara McMullin

    Feeling Like Success Has to Equal Exhaustion? Discover How to Scale Your Business Without Sacrificing What Matters Most If you've ever felt like quitting your business, you're not alone! In this episode, I sit down with author and host of the What Works podcast, Tara McMullin, to explore how to create a business that truly supports the life you want. Tara has been challenging conventional business wisdom for over 16 years and brings a refreshing approach to success, productivity, and growth. She explains why focusing solely on revenue goals can lead to burnout, how to honor your actual capacity, and the importance of defining success on your own terms. We dive into why saying "no" might be your most powerful business strategy, how to escape the validation spiral that keeps you overcommitted, and the transformative difference between being "busy" and being "squeezed." HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Your Business Should Support Your Life – Start with your personal variables and non-negotiables first. Your business is a needs-meeting machine, and your needs as the business owner must come first. 2️⃣ Honor Your Capacity – We all have different capacities based on our available resources—time, money, emotional bandwidth, support networks, and skills. Before taking on new projects, ask: "Do I have what I need to do this well?" 3️⃣ Escape the Validation Spiral – Be cautious about constantly adding new commitments to feel valuable. This leads to depleted resources, underdelivering, and a spiral of taking on even more to compensate.

    What No One Tells You About Chasing Your First Million

    The real, unfiltered truths about chasing your first million dollars—and why it’s not what you think. If I could go back in time and sit down with the Amy who was chasing her first million dollars, this is the conversation I would have with her. And guess what? It’s not what you might expect. Reaching the million-dollar milestone in business is often seen as the ultimate achievement, but what happens when you get there? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the raw, unfiltered truths about what it really takes to reach $1M—and why it won’t magically change how you feel about yourself or your business. I’ll walk you through the money fears that held me back, the lessons I learned the hard way, and the mindset shifts that finally set me free. Whether you’re on your way to your first six figures or scaling beyond seven, this episode will help you redefine success on your terms. Here Are The 3 Key Takeaways From This Episode 1️⃣ There Is Nothing Wrong with Wanting to Make a Bunch of Money Owning your ambition unapologetically makes you a more confident leader, marketer, and decision-maker. When you shrink your money goals, you shrink your business. 2️⃣ My Biggest Fear Was Losing Money—But I Wish I Had Taken Bigger Risks Fear of loss holds so many of us back from making bold moves, investing in our businesses, or taking big leaps. But playing it safe keeps entrepreneurs stuck year after year. 3️⃣ Find Your ‘Enough’—And Build Your Business Around That Instead of constantly chasing bigger numbers, define what financial success looks like for YOU. Your ‘enough’ is the number that gives you the freedom and lifestyle you want—without feeling like you always have to push for more.
