    I Have 238 Substack Subscribers After 2 Years And It Became My Most Listened Episode

    Join my substack : ⁠https://mademoisellemindset.substack.com/⁠If you need help figuring this out, I created ⁠⁠The $5K Breakthrough System⁠⁠, a diagnostic workbook that shows you exactly what’s leaking revenue, time, and energy in your business in just 48 hours : https://gumroad.com/products/fljzq. One of my biggest failures helped me get my most listened English podcast episode and grow my visibility more than anything I'd done before. I've been on Substack for 2 years with 238 subscribers. I decided to share that openly my journey, my plateau, my slow season. And it changed everything. People tell you to never share your failures. But your failure is the exact connection point your audience needs to say I want to work with her. In this video I break down what I shared, why it worked, and the long-term Pinterest and content strategy I use to grow without a big following. The slow season is not the end. It's the content. 0:00My biggest failure became my most listened episode — here's whyOpen with the result first, then tell the story0:19Stuck at 238 on Substack after 2 years — what I decided to doThe moment I chose to share the plateau instead of hiding it1:02Why sharing your failure is your biggest missed opportunity"Your failure is the connection point your audience needs to say — I want to work with her"2:11What I actually talked about in that episode — the raw truthThe comparison trap, slow growth, following the wrong advice4:34The comparison trap — people with 10K in one week vs. my 238 in two yearsWhat I finally understood about why they grew fast and I didn't6:06Slow season is not failure — it's a learning seasonShutting down fear of being seen, fear of imperfect English, fear of being too much6:40Pinterest — the long-term traffic strategy nobody talks about1.5 years to see results.

    The Discipline Advice That Actually Kept Me From Being Consistent

    Join my substack : ⁠https://mademoisellemindset.substack.com/⁠If you need help figuring this out, I created ⁠⁠The $5K Breakthrough System⁠⁠, a diagnostic workbook that shows you exactly what’s leaking revenue, time, and energy in your business in just 48 hours : https://gumroad.com/products/fljzq. Everyone tells you to be more disciplined, stop being lazy, and just do the work. I heard that so many times and it's exactly what kept me from being consistent. Doing more doesn't mean you're disciplined. It means you'll burn out, overthink, and keep waiting for perfect conditions that never come. What actually worked building two podcasts with over 30K listeners, losing 10 kilos, growing a business was understanding what consistency means for me. Not for the gurus. For me. In this video I share the identity shift that changed everything, why chasing the end result is the problem, and why the real secret is to think like a child again. Subscribe for real, no-BS strategies on building the life and business you actually want.0:00The discipline advice that's actually keeping you stuck"Be more disciplined, stop being lazy" — why this sentence is the problem1:09Doing more = burnout, not disciplineThe "I'll start Monday" trap — gym, diet, content, all of it1:49My story — two podcasts, 30K+ French, 6K English listenersHow consistency — not perfection — built this with a French accent2:51What consistency actually means — the 80/90% ruleHow I lost 10kg by stopping the perfect diet search4:10Why you're not consistent — you're listening to the wrong peopleStop copying someone else's system. Build yours.5:22The identity shift — stop focusing on the end resultI want a six-figure business = I need the habits of someone building one7:06Building a content library — how serious creators think about dataThey don't check likes after every post. They check patterns at the end of the month.8:34What identity really means — behaviors, not outcomesWhy Atomic Habits is right: end result focus is the fastest way to never change9:36Delay gratification in a world of instant everythingAmazon, AI, food delivery — we forgot how to wait. Here's how to relearn it.10:24Think like a child — the gamification methodA child learning to dance doesn't wait to be perfect. They play, practice, repeat.12:14Final message — do it like a game, again and again. It will pay off.

    Your Fear of Selling Isn't About Sales, It's About Receiving

    Join my substack : ⁠https://mademoisellemindset.substack.com/⁠If you need help figuring this out, I created ⁠⁠The $5K Breakthrough System⁠⁠, a diagnostic workbook that shows you exactly what’s leaking revenue, time, and energy in your business in just 48 hours. You struggle to sell because you're afraid to RECEIVE. People-pleasers who give everything, super moms, perfect girlfriends, endless servers - are the ones who can't sell. Why? Selling = receiving, not giving. Women are conditioned to give, serve, be nice to be loved. So when it's time to RECEIVE money, you're blocked. Your body feels sick, you sweat, forget everything you know about selling. In this raw video, I reveal why your selling problem isn't strategy, it's your inability to receive in ALL areas of life. Can't ask for help? Won't accept compliments? Refuse support? That's why you can't sell. Learn to receive. Selling follows. #sellingmindset #peoplepleaser #receivingmoney [0:00 - 0:33] Hook - Struggle to sell = afraid to receive[0:33 - 1:21] People-pleasers, givers struggle most with selling[1:21 - 2:28] Selling = receiving (not just giving content)[2:28 - 3:25] Body symptoms when selling: stress, sweating, forgetting[3:25 - 4:26] Feel like you're stealing when you sell[4:26 - 5:20] Women conditioned to give, serve, be loved through giving[5:20 - 6:22] Different meanings of "selling" (stealing, exposure, judgment)[6:22 - 7:21] Can't receive money because you don't receive anything[7:21 - 8:40] Business plateau mirrors life - where else can't you receive?[8:40 - 9:56] Personal story: organized everything, wouldn't accept help[9:56 - 10:58] Body example: control everything, won't receive body signals[10:58 - 12:16] Receiving feedback, comments, different opinions[12:16 - 13:38] Learning to receive = learning to sell[13:38 - 14:20] Women who don't want children - receiving in different ways[14:20 - end] Not strategy problem, mindset problem - workbook offer

    Why You Keep Switching Strategies Instead of Sticking to ONE, The Rush Is Sabotaging You?

    Join my substack : ⁠https://mademoisellemindset.substack.com/⁠If you need help figuring this out, I created ⁠⁠The $5K Breakthrough System⁠⁠, a diagnostic workbook that shows you exactly what’s leaking revenue, time, and energy in your business in just 48 hours. Feeling late in your business makes you broke and I learned this the hard way. Five years in business, crying at 3am on TikTok searching for "grow fast" magic pills, constantly switching strategies because I felt behind. The rush, the scarcity, the comparison to coaches ahead of me kept me broke. Then I stopped. I stuck to ONE strategy even when it felt slow built 5K podcast listeners and 238 engaged Substack subscribers. Here's the truth: most successful people made it between 45-50. Building an empire takes TIME. All strategies work if you stick to them. Stop changing tactics every 30 days. Your visibility or conversion problem isn't solved by rushing, it's solved by consistency and going deeper with YOUR dream clients. 0:00 - 0:49] Hook - Feeling late makes you broke, my 5-year journey[0:49 - 1:42] Addicted to "grow fast, make money fast" content[1:42 - 2:12] Crying at 3am on TikTok, shiny object syndrome[2:12 - 2:52] Buying offers in scarcity, not sticking to strategies[2:52 - 3:34] Feeling late, feeling unsafe, always rushing[3:34 - 4:15] 5 years, no 5K month - because kept changing strategies[4:15 - 4:48] Stuck to ONE strategy: 238 Substack subscribers, 5K podcast listeners[4:48 - 5:48] Stopped superficial "pick me" content pleasing algorithm[5:48 - 6:41] Visibility vs conversion problem identification[6:41 - 7:55] Going deeper with dream clients, what "paid to exist" really means[7:55 - 8:54] Understanding desires vs struggles (funnel strategy)[8:54 - 9:46] Listened to limiting beliefs but kept moving anyway[9:46 - 10:40] All strategies work - yours takes more time to learn[10:40 - 11:25] Mindset over strategy - consistency over perfection[11:25 - 11:47] Weight loss analogy - takes 1-3 years, not 1 week[11:47 - end] Empire building takes time, successful people at 45-50.

    You Invested in Photoshoots But Not YOURSELF - That's Why You're Not Selling

    Join my substack : https://mademoisellemindset.substack.com/ If you need help figuring this out, I created ⁠The $5K Breakthrough System⁠, a diagnostic workbook that shows you exactly what’s leaking revenue, time, and energy in your business in just 48 hours. Perfect branding, Bali photoshoot, beautiful feed but still can't attract high-ticket clients? Here's what nobody tells you: your image matters more than your brand identity, and it runs DEEPER than pretty pictures. When you don't feel confident, don't believe you're "the one," it shows through every photo, every post, every offer - even with perfect typography and professional shoots. In this raw video, I reveal why people with less knowledge make millions (confident image) while you struggle with perfect branding (empty inside). Your image = identity + personality + confidence. Stop investing in external branding while feeling "not enough" internally. When you work on YOUR confidence and image, everything shifts. They buy YOU, not your aesthetic. #personalbrand #confidence #brandingstrategy [0:00 - 0:36] Hook - Your image is crucial for brand development (deeper than people think)[0:36 - 1:30] Listened to advice: invest everything in business/marketing, not yourself[1:30 - 2:16] Image isn't just brand positioning, photo shoot, identity (surface level)[2:16 - 2:47] Pretty photoshoots but can't attract high-ticket clients - why?[2:47 - 3:34] Perfect brand but struggling with consistent sales (missing piece)[3:34 - 4:19] Image = identity, personality, confidence, how you show up[4:19 - 4:39] Personal story: scared to show face, used faceless marketing[4:39 - 5:09] Still struggled because wasn't confident behind the facade[5:09 - 6:12] Questions to ask: What image do you want? Who will you be at dream level?[6:12 - 6:37] Personal example: six-figure business vision = gym, health, yoga, confidence[6:37 - 7:03] Show your lifestyle in your brand (gym, healthy eating, confidence work)[7:03 - end] People with less knowledge make millions - confident image vs. perfect strategy

    Why You Can't Be Consistent on Video (But CAN on Podcast) - Here's What I Learned

    Join my substack : ⁠https://mademoisellemindset.substack.com/⁠ If you need help figuring this out, I created ⁠⁠The $5K Breakthrough System⁠⁠, a diagnostic workbook that shows you exactly what’s leaking revenue, time, and energy in your business in just 48 hours. Struggled with consistency for 5 years? Me too. I can post podcasts weekly but couldn't stay consistent with video - bad lighting, wrong body, imperfect hair, comparing myself to others. Here's what I learned: you're not lazy or undisciplined, you're waiting for PERFECT. I never overthought my podcast grabbed my phone, recorded my thoughts, done. But video? Needed perfect hook, thumbnail, lighting, camera. We overcomplicate consistency. The truth: decide HOW MANY TIMES you'll do it, make it EASY to execute, and stop waiting for perfect conditions. Block the time, show up no matter what, even when it's hard. Consistency isn't about discipline, it's about removing barriers you created. #consistency #contentcreation #entrepreneurmindset [0:00 - 0:24] Hook - What I learned about consistency after years of struggling [0:24 - 1:00] Started business 5-6 years ago, French to English transition [1:00 - 1:47] Struggled with video but consistent with podcasts [1:47 - 2:14] Over-complicating what consistency means [2:14 - 2:58] Video excuses: bad light, background, voice, body, hair, camera [2:58 - 3:28] Comparing myself to others, seeking perfect system [3:28 - 4:09] Podcast approach: grab phone, record thoughts, share (simple) [4:09 - 4:52] Not lazy or undisciplined - waiting for perfect [4:52 - 5:33] Gym analogy: excuses vs. blocking time and showing up [5:33 - end] Fix one thing: decide how many times, make it easy, do it
