    32. LIVE Interview: Starting a Biz vs. Scaling - What Each Stage Looks Like, Different Challenges, and MORE!

    I did this podcast with Jocelyn Berding, an Austin-based recruiter. She asked me and Ann Wilson to come on her show! A lot of entrepreneurs and business owners go through a lot of the same things, but we don’t talk about it. Someone else’s story and challenges may be just like yours, and sometimes it’s helpful to know that you’re not alone in your struggles in entrepreneurship. In this episode, we’re getting real and raw. We’ll explore the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, our personal journeys, productivity, growth, faith, and more.    Grab your cup of coffee and join us as we talk about: Should you turn your hobby into a business? The mental battles that helped us take action Going from paycheck-to-paycheck to paying off debt  How to manage finances as an entrepreneur How to stay on track to meet your goals Staying motivated to do the things we don’t want to know Being open with your faith in entrepreneurship   Love the episode?  ✨ Leave a REVIEW on Apple Podcasts to let me know what you thought ✨ SHARE with a friend and on Instagram or Facebook to help support the show ✨ SUBSCRIBE for your weekly fix of tips, tricks, and strategies RESOURCES: Connect with Jocelyn: Instagram: @jocelynberding Connect with Ann: Instagram: @annlynnwilson  Connect with Courtney Marie: Instagram: @courtneymarie.me Website: courtneymarieco.com Template Shop: Browse our Kajabi Website Templates   Freebies:  ✨ 10 Tips for a High Converting Sales Page   Interested in trying Kajabi?  GET STARTED HERE   _______________________ MUSIC: Kaleidoscopes by Harrison Amer Licensed by PremiumBeat Standard License

    28. Building a 2 Million Dollar Agency and Having to Rebuild & Start Over with Mark Drager

    Today I have Mark Drager, and in this episode, we’re getting tactical about how to build an agency (and build a business in general) and how to deal with the hustle burnout. Mark Drager founded his creative production company in 2006, grew it to a little over $2m in annual revenue, and then slowly watched as it all crumbled around him. Through the hard lessons learned and working to not make the same mistakes twice, today Phanta Media focuses less on growth and “keeping the machine fed” and more on doing extraordinary work with really cool people. As a brand strategist, Mark also understands the need to be courageous and has developed a killer process that can help you make your next courageous move. Grab your cup of coffee and join us as we talk about: The ups and downs of entrepreneurship The enneagram and how it affects us Why when it comes to selling, you just need to get out there and start Extreme burnout: what do you do when you can’t do it anymore? Starting over and rebuilding after hitting rock bottom.    Love the episode?  ✨ Leave a REVIEW on Apple Podcasts to let me know what you thought ✨ SHARE with a friend and on Instagram or Facebook to help support the show ✨ SUBSCRIBE for your weekly fix of tips, tricks, and strategies RESOURCES: The Enneagram Journey Podcast   Connect with Mark: Instagram: @mark.drager  Podcast: We Do Hard Things    Connect with Courtney Marie: 👉🏼 Instagram: @courtneymarie.me 👉🏼 Website: courtneymarieco.com 👉🏼 Template Shop: Browse our Kajabi Website Templates   Freebies:  ✨ 10 Tips for a High Converting Sales Page   Interested in trying Kajabi?  GET STARTED HERE   _______________________ MUSIC: Kaleidoscopes by Harrison Amer Licensed by PremiumBeat Standard License
