    The No-Drama Pricing Strategy That Actually Works with Mark Butler

    What if your pricing strategy wasn’t tied to your self-worth—but instead guided by simple supply and demand? In the coaching world, we often hear messages like “charge what you’re worth” or “higher prices mean higher value.” But what if those beliefs are fueling unnecessary emotional drama and confusion in your business? In this episode of Success Genius, I’m joined again by the always insightful Mark Butler—fractional CFO, bookkeeper, and coach—for a candid conversation about pricing. Together, we dismantle the “self-worth pricing” myth and explore why pricing is a business decision, not a personal identity crisis. We discuss how to use price as a throttle, what it actually means to have a “full” calendar, and how lowering your price doesn’t mean you’re lowering your value—it might just mean you’re increasing demand. This is a must-listen if you’ve ever agonized over your rates, compared your prices to others, or wondered if charging less means you believe less in your work. Topics covered in this episode include: Why pricing is a strategic business decision—not a reflection of your self-worthThe real role of supply and demand in determining what to chargeHow to define a “full practice” on your own termsPractical ways to reduce emotional drama around pricingIf you've ever second-guessed your rates, felt pressured to “charge your worth,” or wondered if lower prices mean lower value, this episode is for you. Tune in for a refreshing, economics-backed conversation that brings clarity and calm to how you price your services.

    The Time Secret No One Talks About (But Should)

    Are you chasing productivity, or are you truly time rich? As ambitious entrepreneurs, we often buy into the belief that more apps, tighter schedules, and color-coded calendars will finally free us from overwhelm. But what if that’s not the answer? In this episode of Success Genius, I kick off the Time Rich Series by challenging everything we’ve been taught about time management. You’ll discover the three types of time—clock time, body time, and mental time—and why ignoring two of them might be the very reason you still feel stuck in the productivity trap. Join me as we explore the shift from the outdated corporate model of time (more hours = more output) to an entrepreneurial model built on quality, efficiency, and alignment with your natural rhythm.  It’s not just about working less—it’s about working right. This episode will redefine how you experience time and productivity. Let’s begin your journey to becoming truly time rich. Topics covered in this episode include: Why traditional productivity hacks leave you feeling more overwhelmedThe three types of time: clock, body, and mental—and why only one of them really worksHow to shift from the outdated corporate model of time to the entrepreneurial modelWhat it really means to be “time rich” and how to get thereIf you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in productivity systems and still not getting ahead, this episode is your wake-up call.

    Mortgage Freedom in Half the Time with Michael Lush

    Have you ever thought about how your financial decisions impact your time freedom? As entrepreneurs, we spend so much energy managing money that we often forget its deeper purpose—to give us our time back. But what if there was a smarter way to do that? What if your home could actually help fund your goals, grow your business, or free up cash flow to invest in your future? In this episode of Success Genius, I had an eye-opening conversation with Michael Lush, former mortgage executive and founder of Replace Your University. Michael introduced me to a strategy that challenges everything we’ve been told about traditional mortgages—something that could literally save you hundreds of thousands of dollars and cut decades off your home loan. We’re diving into a financial time management strategy that’s not just about numbers—it’s about powerful autonomy. You’ll learn how a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) can help you access equity, stay liquid, and leverage your cash flow without making more money or changing your lifestyle. If your business cash flow has highs and lows like mine, this is a tool that can work with that rhythm instead of against it. I’ve personally seen the math, and the numbers don’t lie—it’s legit. So, if you’re ready to turn your mortgage into a wealth-building tool, tune in. This might just be the shift you didn’t know you needed. 🎧 Listen now to Episode 283. Topics covered in this episode include: Why traditional mortgages are secretly costing us way more than we thinkHow HELOCs (Home Equity Lines of Credit) can help pay off your home in 5–7 yearsWhy this 100-year-old financial strategy is perfect for entrepreneurs with inconsistent incomeHow to free up hundreds of thousands of dollars and decades of your lifeAnd the real cost of parking your money in a savings accountIf you’re ready to think like the wealthy and ditch the death pledge (aka your mortgage), hit play now and learn how to make your money work for you.

    Pattern Interrupts: The Key to Changing Your Productivity and Life Results

    What if the real reason you're stuck isn't your strategy—but your subconscious patterns? As entrepreneurs, we're often told to hustle harder, manage our time better, or upgrade our tools. But what if the key to lasting productivity and success lies not in doing more—but in seeing more clearly what's running the show behind the scenes? In this episode of Success Genius, I explore the powerful science behind unconscious patterns—those invisible sequences of thoughts, emotions, and actions that shape your day before you even realize it.

You'll learn how to identify your most common patterns, shift your emotional state on demand, and rewire your brain for the results you actually want. Because true productivity isn’t just about getting more done—it’s about becoming the person who creates results with clarity, ease, and intention. Topics covered in this episode include: How unconscious patterns shape up to 95% of our daily behaviorThe neuroscience behind why certain productivity tips fall flatCommon high-achiever patterns like perfectionism, overcommitment, and urgencyPractical tools to recognize and interrupt self-sabotaging habitsReady to swap autopilot reactions for intentional growth?
