    170. BUILDING A MILLION DOLLAR AI BUSINESS WITH BROOKE WRIGHT FROM WRIGHT MODE

    She turned a failed launch and a screen recording for one client into $40K — and that was just the beginning. Brooke Wright is back on the podcast, and this time the numbers are very different. When she was last here, she'd just hit her first $100K year. Now she's tracking $100K quarters, her membership has grown from 10 to 150 people, major global brands are sliding into her DMs, and she's founding Techella — a women's AI festival that went from idea to trademark in about two days.  We get into how she pivoted her signature offer, how she used Claude Code to build a sales page mid-coaching-call, how one Canva tutorial racked up 250,000 organic views, and what it actually looks like when your body of work meets its viral moment.

    169. DECISIVENESS IS AN AURA

    Indecision isn't just a mindset problem — it's leaking out of your business and your clients can smell it. If you've been wondering why your perfect website, schmick feed, and polished assets aren't converting the way they should, this episode is your answer. I break down why decisiveness is one of the most powerful business strategies you can have, how indecision operates like a veil over everything you do, and why buyers are ultimately purchasing certainty — not content. Key Topics Covered: Why buyers purchase certainty, not content or aestheticsThe embodiment gap: the difference between performing confidence and actually having itHow indecision in one area bleeds into everything in your businessWhy a Google Doc with audacity outsells a polished site without convictionThe mental noise loop — and how decisive action clears itHow to self-audit your decisiveness and use it as a positioning toolTIMESTAMPS 0:00:00 - The best business strategy no one's talking about 0:00:26 - The siren analogy: embodied confidence vs performing it 0:02:04 - Why polish alone won't sell if you're secretly indecisive 0:02:45 - What buyers are actually purchasing (hint: it's certainty) 0:05:11 - How indecision in one area spreads across your whole business 0:06:12 - The Google Doc audacity story — why conviction beats perfection 0:07:24 - The fat loss decision example: clearing mental noise fast 0:09:36 - Premium positioning requires decisive self-trust 0:10:46 - Nothing is set in stone — decisiveness without permanence 0:12:34 - Your challenge: be decisive this week and watch what happens 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES: Good In Business: https://www.professionalbabe.com/good-in-business/ Hot Business Audit: https://hot-business.scoreapp.com/ The $35 Offer: https://www.professionalbabe.com/the-35-offer/ Business Bang: https://www.professionalbabe.com/business-bang/ Give Good Email: https://www.professionalbabe.com/give-good-email/ Spill your secrets (or ep requests, feedback, or praise to me) by sending me a text 💬 Support the show If you’re craving more, you can find me on Instagram @professionalbabe and make sure to subscribe to my email list which you can find at professionalbabe.com — word on the street is I give good email.

    If you've ever told yourself you'll start fresh on Monday, next month, or when the timing is finally right, this ep is going to call you out in the best way 😉 Using the lens of network marketing sales cycles and a very relatable story about convincing herself she needed a full 90-minute window just to exercise, I'm breaking down why waiting for perfect conditions is the thing that's keeping your results identical year after year.

    164. MONDAY MINDSET: This is what 'doing the work' actually looks like

    Money loves speed — and your business results prove it. In this episode, I'm breaking down why the fastest path to results isn't working harder, it's closing the gap between decision and action. I share a real-time example of a Business Bang client who went from idea to 36 workshop sales in under a day, and exactly what separates experts who win from those who stay stuck in their heads. Key Topics Covered: Why "money loves speed" is the business principle you're probably ignoringThe real reason your great ideas aren't converting into resultsHow to habit-stack decisions with action (and why most people are doing the opposite)The difference between being impulsive and being a fast-moving expertWhy thinking about work isn't the same as doing work — and how to tell which one you're doingThe graveyard of unfinished ideas and how to get out of itWhy completion is the standard my clients hold themselves toTIMESTAMPS 0:00:00 - Intro: Money loves speed  0:01:00 - The client who went from idea to 36 sales in one day  0:02:30 - Why good ideas die before they become anything  0:03:30 - Habit-stacking decisions with action  0:04:30 - Fast vs impulsive: knowing the difference  0:05:30 - Are you actually working or just thinking?  0:07:00 - The graveyard of unfinished ideas  0:08:45 - Your challenge: decide, act, finish 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES: Hot Business Audit: https://hot-business.scoreapp.com/ The $35 Offer: https://www.professionalbabe.com/the-35-offer/ Business Bang: https://www.professionalbabe.com/business-bang/ Give Good Email: https://www.professionalbabe.com/give-good-email/ Spill your secrets (or ep requests, feedback, or praise to me) by sending me a text 💬 Support the show If you’re craving more, you can find me on Instagram @professionalbabe and make sure to subscribe to my email list which you can find at professionalbabe.com — word on the street is I give good email.
