    The Discipline Myth: What Coaches Actually Need to Grow Their Business

    Most coaches think they need more discipline to grow their business. More consistency. More pressure. In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, Amanda sits down with high performance coach and business growth partner Carlos Villarreal to explain why that framing usually backfires. This conversation goes deeper than motivation and habits. Carlos breaks down why self-leadership comes before discipline, how confidence is built through action, and what actually changes when coaches stop treating their work like a hobby and start running it like a real business. They talk about keeping promises to yourself, leading yourself the way you once showed up for a boss, and why focus and clarity matter more than trying harder. If you're a coach who knows you're capable of more but feels stuck, scattered, or inconsistent, this episode will help you see the real problem and what to do next.

    Why Most Business Owners Never Finish the Book They Start

    Most business owners don't abandon a book because they lack discipline or time. They abandon it because they start writing before they have clarity. In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, I'm joined by Sean Mabry for a grounded conversation about why so many business owners never finish the book they start. We unpack the difference between excitement and clarity, why outlining and proposals matter more than people want to admit, and how starting without a clear map almost guarantees the project will stall. Sean shares what he sees again and again with business owners who want to write a book, why skipping the clarity stage creates resistance later, and how knowing whether a book should exist at all changes everything. If you've been circling the idea of writing a book for years or have an unfinished draft sitting on your hard drive, this episode will help you understand what's actually getting in the way.   Ways to Connect with Sean Mabry Facebook https://www.facebook.com/smabry LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-mabry-781b39a3/ Resources & Ways to Connect with Amanda Thrive & Scale Blueprint https://amandakaufman.net/thrive Podcast https://amandakaufman.net/podcast YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@AmandaKaufman Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amandakaufman/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandakaufman/ Clients Over Chaos Community https://login.thecoachesplaza.com/communities/groups/clients-over-chaos/home

    What Moves You: A Different Way to Think About Mental Health

    What if mental health conversations didn't start with what's wrong? In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, I'm joined by Dana Christian Lee for a powerful conversation about storytelling, presence, and why asking what moves you can be more impactful than advice, diagnoses, or strategies. Dana is an educator, producer, and longtime advocate for youth mental health through her work with Tell My Story. We talk about why film creates connection in ways words often can't, how performance culture disconnects people from themselves, and what happens when both adults and young people are given permission to listen inward instead of chasing external approval. This episode is for parents, educators, leaders, and anyone who feels the quiet pull to reconnect with what actually matters. It's not about fixing yourself. It's about remembering who you are beneath the noise.

    3 Moves To Launch (Or Re-Launch) Your Coaching Business

    Most coaches don't struggle because they're bad at coaching. They struggle because they're trying to build a business without a system that can survive real life. Life is always going to show up. Kids need you. Parents need you. Energy fluctuates. Plans fall apart. And yet somehow, when it comes to a job, people figure out systems that keep things moving anyway. So why do so many coaches decide that building a coaching business is impossible because their life is "too full"? In this episode, I break down three simple moves that help you launch or relaunch your coaching business without burning yourself out or pretending your life doesn't exist. We talk about why confidence isn't the real issue, why conversations matter more than complicated strategies, how tracking the right things creates momentum, and how belief gets built through evidence instead of hype. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're failing because your business isn't moving fast enough, this episode will help you see what actually needs to change. You don't need more motivation. You need a system that works when life is messy. Listen in and start building something you can actually sustain.   Resources & Ways to Connect with Amanda Thrive & Scale Blueprint https://amandakaufman.net/thrive  Podcast https://amandakaufman.net/podcast  YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@AmandaKaufman  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amandakaufman  LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandakaufman  Clients Over Chaos Community https://login.thecoachesplaza.com/communities/groups/clients-over-chaos/home

    Stop Building a Business That You Hate

    A lot of people leave a nine to five looking for freedom and end up building a business they secretly hate. In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, Amanda sits down with high performance coach Onikepo Omotade to talk about why so many side hustles create more pressure instead of more freedom and what actually needs to change if you want to build something sustainable. They unpack why chasing income without alignment leads to burnout, how ignoring your genius makes everything harder, and why rushing the process causes people to make decisions that cost them years. This conversation also dives into realistic timelines, playing the long game, and what it really takes to build a business that fits your life instead of consuming it. If you are working full time, building something on the side, and wondering why it still feels heavy, this episode will help you rethink what you are building and why before you push any harder.   Ways to Connect with Onikepo Omotade Instagram https://www.instagram.com/growwithkepo/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/onikepo/   Resources & Ways to Connect with Amanda Thrive & Scale Blueprint https://amandakaufman.com/thriveandscale Podcast https://amandakaufman.com/podcast YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@amandakaufman Instagram https://www.instagram.com/amandakaufman LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandakaufman Clients Over Chaos Community https://login.thecoachesplaza.com/communities/groups/clients-over-chaos/home
