  2. Client Access Is Not the Value

    FEB 2

    Client Access Is Not the Value

    In this episode of Katy Calls BS, I'm calling out a big design flaw I see in business, the belief that clients need access to you in order to get results. They don't! They need a business model, systems, and support structure that embeds your expertise without requiring you to be constantly available. You'll hear: Why constant client access is not required for transformationThe difference between fragile and durable business modelsWhy "being available" is often poor business and learning designHow to audit your business and client experience without losing valueWhy quality should never depend on your availability When access to you becomes the whole business model, you are asking for issues. If your calendar is full, your inbox is flooded, and your business only works when you're "on," this one might hurt. Ready to make a change? Start with the Infrastructure Audit If your business still depends on your time to make money, this is the first step.

  3. Stop Saying Digital Products Don't Work

    Stop Saying Digital Products Don't Work

    Digital Products aren't the problem. I bet you created a really good one. But if it was random, didn't have a job, or you dabbled, then I could see why I didn't work. In this episode of Katy Calls BS, I'm calling out the tired take that digital products are the issue. Most of the time I see business owners throw out a random course, membership, or offer with no clear role inside their business. Online courses used to be the default. But that advice is outdated. Listen, eLearning has changed. Buyer behavior has changed. Attention spans have changed. Business owners need to adapt not blame a product that didn't have a strategy. You'll hear: Why digital products don't work like you thoughtWhen courses make sense and when they don'tWhy random products failThe importance of a product's jobWhat you can learn from failed products or launches This is about building digital products that match audience needs, support your business model, and create traction for growth.

    More Clients Won't Scale Your Business

    How many times have you told yourself that you need more clients to fix your revenue problems, to scale, or before you can do anything in your business? It's not the solution. If your delivery systems are messy, unclear, or draining you, adding more clients doesn't create growth. It accelerates burnout. And the foundation of your business will crumble. This week we are talking about why so many entrepreneurs default to client acquisition instead of fixing what's breaking behind the scenes. This is about what scaling smart, not loud. In this episode, you'll hear: why more clients won't fix what's broken in your businessthe hidden cost taking on morehow scaling without structure isn't the movehow to set up scalable systems that support growth and balancewhat sustainable growth actually looks like in 2026 Decision fatigue, cognitive overload, and negative client experiences don't show up on a revenue spreadsheet, but it all shows up in your energy, boundaries, and results. If you are ready to scale in 2026 in a sustainable way, this is your episode. Episode 125 is live!

    PR BS in the Online Business World

    There's been a lot of noise this week in the online space with industry names making big moves. And the internet loves to spin that into hot takes, panic, and personal drama. In this episode of Katy Calls BS, I'm cutting through the noise. These closures aren't random. They definitely aren't "personal choices." They're market signals. If you are running an online business, especially with learning based offers, you need to pay attention. This episode is about what's actually changing in buyer behavior, why engagement and retention matter more than ever, and why quality learning experiences beat massive content libraries every time. You'll hear: How buyer behavior has shiftedWhy "more content" is no longer the answerThe difference between selling access and designing learningWhy quality learning will always win Market shifts don't mean learning experiences are done. Courses, memberships, digital products, or other education-based offers can either adapt and respond strategically or get left behind. Because the businesses that last aren't louder. They're better designed. Listen now and learn what the current shifts in online business are really telling you.

    New Year Energy BS

    If January hit and you already feel behind, overwhelmed, or like you should be doing more, welcome back to Katy Calls BS! We are kicking off 2026 by calling out the BS on this new year energy. The pressure to be fully motivated and executing at full speed by January 2 is one of the fastest ways to burn out before the year even starts. In this episode, I'm talking about the myth that January is for pushing harder. This conversation is about re-entry NOT acceleration. We're talking about stabilizing before you strategize and easing back into business without the full panic and blowing up your year before we hit February. Highlights: Why January feels heavier than expected (and why it's not just you)The lie of "new year momentum" and why it backfiresHow to lower output but not directionA simple 3 week framework to ease back into thingsWhat to ignore in January to keep your sanity If you've been feeling the post holiday blues, a little foggy, or like you are already behind, this episode will help you breathe, reset, and move forward without forcing energy you don't have yet. And if you are ready to go, we talk about that too! The goal isn't motivation, it's steadiness. Listen now and give yourself permission to start 2026 without panic.

    The No BS Audit

    Before you set goals for the new year, you need to audit what happened this year. Not what you wanted to happen, not the goals you didn't meet or did. Not what looked good online. What worked, what drained you, and what needs to go. In this episode, I walk you through my No BS Audit for both your business and your personal life. We're looking at offers, messaging, systems, time, and energy because we are NOT dragging this mess into January. This is about clarity, not hustle. If you want a smarter, calmer start to the year, this is where it begins. Connect with your host, Katy Miller: IG: ⁠@themillersocial⁠ and @katycallsbs W: ⁠https://themillersocial.com/⁠
