    Ep176 - The Honest Truth About £100K Months (And Why They’re Easier Than You Think)

    If talking about £100K months makes you feel uncomfortable, triggered, or like it’s “for other people,” this episode will shift everything. Dawn breaks down why scaling to £100K months is far more achievable than most founders believe and why the real barriers aren’t strategy, the market, or the economy… they’re mindset, conditioning, and business models that were never built to scale. You’ll learn why money isn’t something to fear or hide, how to rebuild your relationship with it, and what actually creates predictable cash flow. Dawn also reveals the three biggest reasons founders plateau and what you must change if you want to scale sustainably, profitably, and without burning out. Highlights: (01:12) Why money feels “taboo” & the mindset behind £100K months (07:15) The real blockers to scaling (and why it’s rarely strategy) (14:21) What predictable cash flow really requires (22:17) How CEOs think vs how stressed founders think (25:50) Daily actions that move you toward £100K months (29:36) Three reasons founders stay stuck and how to break through Connect with Dawn: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dawnmcgruer/ Connect with Dawn: Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruer LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/ Web www.dawnmcgruer.com This podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentional https://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy

    Ep171 - Books, Branding & Building Legacy

    In this episode of Dawn of a New Era, I’m diving into one of the most underestimated yet powerful moves you can make as a business owner, writing a book. From my first collaborative book Character Building at just 21, created after losing six loved ones in six months, to publishing Dynamic Digital Marketing with Wiley in 2020, books have been a pivotal part of my personal healing, my credibility as a thought leader, and the growth of my businesses. I share the behind-the-scenes of both journeys, the pain and joy of writing, the reality of self-publishing versus landing a traditional deal, and how a book can act as a launchpad for bigger opportunities in speaking, media, and business. Whether it’s about leaving your legacy, building authority, or opening doors you didn’t know existed, this episode will inspire you to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and start writing. Highlights: (01:42) The story behind Dawn’s first book at 21 (06:28) From trauma to legacy: why Character Building was written (12:47) How Dynamic Digital Marketing came to life with Wiley (19:15) The unexpected publishing deal that started in a junk folder (26:03) Why a book instantly elevates credibility and opportunity (33:41) Should you self-publish or go with a publisher? (38:52) How a book fuels speaking gigs, media, and brand growth (44:10) The legacy lens: creating something that lasts   Connect with Dawn Follow Dawn on Instagram: @dawnmcgruer Connect with Dawn: Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruer LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/ Web www.dawnmcgruer.com This podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentional https://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy

    Ep170 - Imposter Syndrome at Every Level

    Imposter Syndrome: Turning Fear into Fuel In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that affects almost every entrepreneur at some stage of their journey: imposter syndrome. We often think that once we’ve achieved success, the doubts will disappear. But the truth is imposter syndrome shows up at every level, and it doesn’t magically vanish when you hit a milestone. What matters is how you manage it, reframe it, and even use it as a superpower. I’m sharing my own story of experiencing imposter syndrome, even while signing a publishing deal and releasing my books, and the techniques I use to turn fear into growth. You’ll learn how to spot self-sabotage, rewire your brain, and create a new narrative so you can step into opportunities with confidence. Highlights: (02:14) Why imposter syndrome never really goes away (05:42) How fear can actually be a catalyst for growth (09:16) My story of facing imposter syndrome with a book deal (13:39) The brain’s role in amplifying uncertainty (18:07) A practical exercise to reframe irrational fears (22:26) Turning doubt into confidence with micro proofs (26:11) Why embracing imposter syndrome makes you stronger Connect with Dawn Follow Dawn on Instagram: @dawnmcgruer Connect with Dawn: Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruer LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/ Web www.dawnmcgruer.com This podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentional https://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy

    Ep169 - You, The CEO & Identity Shift

    In this episode of Dawn of a New Era, I’m talking about the hidden identity ceiling that quietly holds so many CEOs back from hitting 100k months and beyond. Because here’s the truth, you can have the best funnels, the dream team, and proven strategies, but if your identity hasn’t shifted into the version of you who earns at that level, your subconscious will sabotage your success. I share how confidence, clarity and conviction shape scaling, why your brain works hard to protect your current identity, and how to rewire it using neuroscience, psychodynamics, and quantum psychology. Plus, I’ll walk you through the daily embodiment practices I use myself and with clients to collapse time and step into your next-level CEO self. This episode is for the entrepreneurs who are ready to stop hitting the same ceiling and start thinking, feeling and scaling like the top 1%. Highlights: (04:12) Identity as the ceiling to success (09:27) The invisible line that keeps CEOs stuck at the same level (15:33) Why strategy fails without mindset alignment (21:56) Quantum psychology and collapsing the gap between who you are and who you want to be (29:41) Daily embodiment practices to rewire your brain (36:58) How to step into your 100k month identity today Connect with Dawn: Instagram: @dawnmcgruer Connect with Dawn: Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruer LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/ Web www.dawnmcgruer.com This podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentional https://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy
