    106. Sell The Plane, Not Just The Destination - Your Key to an AI-Proof Business in 2026

    Send a text You've heard it a million times: "Sell the destination, not the airplane." Don't confuse people with your process—they just want the result. I'm calling BS. Because in 2026, when everyone's using the same AI prompts and sounding exactly alike? Your unique PROCESS is literally the only thing that makes you different. It's your moat. Your AI-proof competitive advantage. In this episode, I'm breaking down why your signature framework matters more than ever—and how it becomes the backbone of everything in your business: your authority, your content, your offers, your scalability, and your ability to stand out. Plus, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I had my first multi-6-figure year the year my business was the SIMPLEST—with one clear offer, one framework, and zero complicated funnels. All while working 10-20 hours a week with babies at home. What You'll Learn: Why "sell the destination, not the airplane" advice is flawed for seasoned CEO momsThe real reason your signature framework is your AI-proof moatHow your framework creates infinite content angles—so you never run out of things to sayHow to turn your framework into multiple strategic offers at different price pointsWhy your process pre-qualifies the right clients and filters out the wrong onesHow to make your business scalable beyond just you showing up for every clientIf you're ready to stop guessing and stop rebuilding your business every month—the CMA Accelerator is for you.

    105. How to Plan Your 2026 Like a CEO Mom

    Send a text Most business planning assumes consistent capacity, predictable childcare, and steady energy. That's not mom life—and it never will be. I'm currently pregnant with baby #7, dealing with first trimester brain fog, and planning my most strategic year yet. How? I'm not planning for an ideal fantasy world. I'm planning for REALITY—sick kids, holidays, maternity leave, and the capacity shifts that come with motherhood. In this episode, I'm breaking down my exact framework for planning a year that doesn't fall apart when the unexpected happens. This is the foundation—then I'm going WAY deeper at my free 2026 Planning Party (February 2-3). What You'll Learn: Why planning for your ideal life sets you up for failure (and what to do instead)How to map your non-negotiables FIRST before any business goalsMy realistic capacity framework for planning revenue around motherhoodThe three-focus system that creates momentum without drowning youHow to use "momentum marketing" so each offer naturally sells the nextWhat's actually working in 2026 (not what worked three years ago) Join the Free 2026 Planning Party: February 2-3 at 1:30 PM Eastern Day 1: Streamline Your Offer SuiteDay 2: Map Your 2026 Sales CalendarGet $250 gift card just for registeringRegister: yaelbendahan.com/party LINKS 📈The CEO MOMS Growth Matrix - feeling stuck or plateaued at your current revenue?

    104. How I'm Completely Restructuring My Business for 2026 (And Why YOU Might Need To)

    Send a text If you crawled across the December finish line feeling like you just ran a marathon after the holidays—or if your launches and offers have been feeling heavier and conversions are down—we need to talk. The truth is, what worked even a couple years ago isn't working anymore. The market has shifted. Buyers are more cautious, the content treadmill feels exhausting, and honestly? It's okay if you're just feeling kind of...tired. But the thing is...many entrepreneurs are still thriving. And in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what's different about them—and what I'm updating in my own business to make 2026 feel spacious and service-focused. I'm also sharing a big personal announcement that's driving this entire shift, and why I'm bringing back a program I sunset years ago (while retiring my beloved Mastermind...for now). This isn't about burning everything down. It's about building smarter, more specifically, and more sustainably—especially as CEO moms who need our businesses to actually work with our real lives. What You'll Learn: Why some of the "traditional" strategies aren't working anymore (and what IS working)The #1 thing separating entrepreneurs who are thriving from those who are burning outWhy being a generalist will make you invisible in 2026—and how to get specific without losing yourselfThe exact audit questions I used to simplify my offer suite (and why I'm sunsetting my Mastermind)How to build monthly recurring revenue that doesn't require you to be "on" all the timeMy exciting announcement and what it means for how I'm restructuring everythingResources Mentioned: Take my survey, get a FREE Voxer coaching day and be entered to win a $2,000 coaching package!

    103. What's ACTUALLY Selling Right Now? Lessons from Black Friday

    Send a text Black Friday 2025 was... interesting. Some people crushed it. Others had their quietest year in ages. And if you're somewhere in between trying to figure out what just happened...this episode is for you. I'm breaking down exactly what's selling right now, what people experienced from both sides of Black Friday this year, and why specificity and human connection are the only things cutting through the noise anymore. Because spoiler alert: more AI-generated content is NOT the answer. If you're a mom entrepreneur building a business that doesn't require you 24/7, grab your coffee and let's dive into what actually matters heading into 2026. What You'll Learn: Why Black Friday 2025 had such mixed results—and what that tells us about where the online business world is headedThe specificity secret: How my client Katherine made $11K with less than 300 people on her list (and how you can do the same)The warm-up you can't skip: Why sales happen AFTER trust, and how to use Black Friday as a barometer (not a failure)Human touch is everything: Why people are craving real connection and how to bring more of yourself into your business without burning outWhat to focus on for the rest of December and 2026: The exact shifts you need to make to stand out in an increasingly automated worldKey Takeaways: ✅ Specificity wins every time. Your offer needs to be so clear that someone reads it and goes, "Oh my God, that's for me." Not "that sounds nice"--literally "I NEED this right now." ✅ You can't skip the relationship building. The people who did well on Black Friday had been nurturing their audiences for months. If you didn't pre-warm people, use this as data...not proof you're failing. ✅ People still want people. Don't automate yourself out of your business. AI can support you, but it can't replace your experience, your perspective, and your connection. Resources Mentioned: Built to SCALE: CEO Mom Edition Workshop – Tuesday, December 9th at 1:30 PM EST | $47 (goes up to $97 after the workshop starts) Learn exactly how my client made $11K from two ultra-low-key launches and turned it into an evergreen funnel—working less than 4 hours a day with less than 300 people on her list.

    102. How to Launch Your First Leveraged Offer in 2026 (The Mom-Friendly Way)

    Send a text What if I told you that you could launch your first leveraged offer, make over $11K, and still show up for your kids' Christmas parties without breaking a sweat? My client Katherine did exactly that—and she did it in December while being fully present for her five kids. No complicated challenge funnels. No showing up on camera every single day. Just a simple, stripped-back launch process that actually works for moms with actual lives. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact three-phase process Katherine used to launch her first course while maintaining her family traditions, making hot dinners most nights, and keeping her sanity intact. If you've been sitting on a course idea, group program, or any kind of leveraged offer but feel too overwhelmed to launch it, this one's for you. What You'll Learn: Why you need a leveraged offer (even if your one-to-one business is doing fantastically well)The three-phase low-key launch process that works for busy momsHow Katherine made over $11K across two launches with less than 220 people on her launch listWhy you should NEVER create your entire program before validating itHow to launch without sacrificing family time or your sanityThe power of email-based launches (no daily lives required!)How to turn your beta launch into an evergreen funnel Resources Mentioned: Built to Scale Workshop (CEO Mom Edition): Join me live on December 8th at 1:30 PM Eastern for the complete breakdown of Catherine's launch strategy, plus my 2026 planning map and scalable offer suite worksheet.

    101. How I Forgot About Black Friday (And Still Made $4K) -- BF Tips and Strategies You Can Implement NOW

    Send a text In this episode, I'm taking you back to November 2019—when I was pregnant, exhausted, and racing against the clock to launch a funnel by the last Friday of the month. Spoiler: that Friday was Black Friday, and I had no idea what I was doing. But in that one week, I made $4,000 from a tiny email list and a simple low-ticket offer. This story isn't just about making money during the busiest shopping season of the year. It's about the moment I realized I could sell the work of my brain instead of just my hands—and how that one accidental Black Friday opened my eyes to the power of leveraged offers, funnels, and making money even when you're not actively working. If you're a service provider or coach who wants to scale without burning out, or if you think you've "missed the boat" on Black Friday because you didn't plan months ago—this episode is for you. I'm sharing exactly what I sold, how I sold it, and five strategies you can use right now to make Q4 your most profitable quarter yet. What You'll Learn: The full behind-the-scenes story of my first accidental Black Friday sale (and the $4K week that followed)Why Q4 is actually BUILT for buying—and how to tap into that seasonal psychology5 things you can sell for Black Friday without creating a complicated campaignHow to use Black Friday offers to seed your premium services and build your buyer listThe power of adding order bumps and upsells to maximize revenue (even on low-ticket offers)Why you don't need a huge audience or a five-day deal campaign to make serious moneyMy own Black Friday strategy for this yearResources Mentioned in This Episode: Lazy Money Masterclass: Learn how to build funnels that set people up for buying now and long-term - yaelbendahan.com/lmmCEO Mom Mastermind Waitlist (6-Month Option): Get first dibs on the limited 6-month mastermind option with 2 bonus months and extended payment plan - yaelbendahan.com/waitlistCEO Mom Diaries (Free Telegram Channel): Behind-the-scenes of building monthly recurring revenue and scaling with limited time - yaelbendahan.com/diariesEpisode 98: The gap between selling the work of your hands vs. your brainLINKS 📈The CEO MOMS Growth Matrix - feeling stuck or plateaued at your current revenue?

    99. The $10K to $20K Leap: Why Most Moms Get Stuck at 'Pretty Good Money' and How To Get Unstuck

    Send a text Have you ever hit that point in your business where you’re making pretty good money—maybe consistently hitting $8K, $10K months—but you feel completely maxed out? You can’t take on another client without losing your mind, but you’re not quite at the income goal you want either? We get it. You’re stuck at what I call the $10K to $20K ceiling—that specific revenue plateau where you’re making good money, but you’re trading every available hour for it.

In this episode, I’m breaking down: • Why the $10K ceiling hits mom entrepreneurs especially hard (and it’s not what you think) •The three critical mindset shifts required to break through to true scalability •The five specific leverage points that can double your revenue without doubling your time •How to maintain your one-to-one work while building scalable income streams •The biggest fears keeping CEO moms stuck at six figures (and how to overcome them) If you’ve been feeling maxed out on one-to-one work, not hitting your income goals yet, but thinking “I literally cannot take on another client”—this episode is for you. Resources Mentioned: FREE Scalable Offers Snapshot - Get a personalized Loom video showing you exactly how to repackage your in-demand one-to-one service into a scalable, freedom-giving offer.
