The Mind Your Business Podcast

Jen is back with me on the podcast, and we recorded this one on a Saturday because we both woke up with the exact same thing on our minds. It's what I call "fortifying your frequency", the practices and principles that allow you to stay centered, clear and powerful no matter what is happening around you. Now more than ever I'm seeing more fear, uncertainty and anxiety in my clients and peers right now than I have in years, and I wanted to bring this conversation to you because I genuinely believe it is the most important and underrated thing you can be working on. This one goes deep and we cover 6 core practices that will make a real difference in your life starting right now!  Ready to take your business to the next level?

We'd love to hear what resonated with you the most from this episode and especially what you want covered in future ones.  In this episode you'll hear:  Why managing your frequency is the single most important job you have as an entrepreneur and why no strategy or platform will work if this piece is off The difference between spiritual bypassing and what I actually think it means to be fully present to a hard situation without giving your power away How I use intuition as a guidance system in my business and what it felt like the moment I knew the Sedona real estate opportunity was a yes Why gratitude is far more than a feel-good practice and what the neuroscience actually says about what happens in your brain when you practice it consistently The dangerous comparison pattern that social media is quietly wiring into our brains and why it makes genuine gratitude nearly impossible What I call context and why the frame you place around any situation is the thing that determines what becomes possible for you in it Why being hard on yourself is not a driver of results and the distinction that completely changed how I think about self-compassion for high achievers How fear actually works as a manifester and the simple three-step process I use to dissolve it rather than feed it Why stillness and silence are not luxuries but the most underrated frequency-raising practice available to you right now The concept of erasing past history and why so much of what is holding you back today has nothing to do with what is happening right now For full show notes and links, visit: www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com/blog/847 

Substack has been one of the most talked about platforms in the creator space this year, and I finally sat down with two people that are actually living it to break it all down. I recently hosted this panel conversation inside our BBD Next Level program with Kathrin Zenkina of Manifestation Babe, who went from zero to a 6-figure income stream on Substack in just a few months, and Jillian Finley, our head copywriter who has been ghostwriting Substacks for top creators and has been begging me to get on the platform for over a year.  In this episode, we cover what Substack actually is, why it's growing so fast right now, how to use it to build an audience and monetize it, and more. Fair warning: this one ran long because we just couldn't stop talking about it, but it will definitely give you lots to consider as you decide whether Substack is right for you!  Ready to take your business to the next level?

We'd love to hear what resonated with you the most from this episode and especially what you want covered in future ones.  In this episode you'll hear:  Why Substack is exploding right now and the three cultural forces driving its rapid growth The amazing growth Kathrin has seen on Substack in just a few months and what she's using as her primary traffic source to drive people there The difference between building on Substack as an established personal brand versus starting from scratch with a niche-first approach Why the paywall isn't just a monetization tool and the fascinating way many creators are using it as a filter for their community The multiple ways to make money on Substack beyond paid subscriptions  How to use Substack's native features including notes, recommendations and restacks to grow your audience organically within the platform Kathrin's 14-day challenge strategy and how she structured it inside Substack to create an evergreen asset that keeps adding subscribers Why AI-generated writing is particularly unwelcome on Substack and what the platform's culture expects from its creators The key question to ask before adding Substack to your business if you already have a membership or paid community Why Jillian believes Substack is doing for writers what Instagram never could, and why the timing right now feels like Instagram circa 2014 For full show notes and links, visit: www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com/blog/846 

What the heck do you do you do when the thing that used to light you up just doesn't anymore? When you feel like you're staring into a future that looks like nothing but uncertainty and you can't figure out which direction to go? I brought back my friend and high-performance coach Brad Bizjack for one of the most honest, rich conversations we've ever had on this show. We share the real meaning of fulfillment, the trap that keeps high achievers stuck in a cycle of burnout and delayed happiness, and what it actually looks like to architect a life on your own terms. This one is all about doing a "life audit" and I think it's going to hit home for a lot of you!  If this conversation resonates, Brad is running his free five-day life audit challenge starting October 19th called The Success Accelerator. Over 5 mornings, he'll walk you through identifying what you actually want across the three main arenas of life, uncovering the invisible beliefs and inner conflicts holding you back, and rewiring the operating system that's been running your life behind the scenes.

We'd love to hear what resonated with you the most from this episode and especially what you want covered in future ones.  In this episode you'll hear:  Brad's definition of high performance and why someone can be achieving a lot and still be failing at the deepest level The "achiever's paradox" that has so many driven entrepreneurs unknowingly running on a fuel source that is burning them out Why happiness keeps getting punted down the line and the one question that will reveal your greatest limitation towards success and fulfillment The switch to make that making the key to sustainable, joyful growth How the words you use to describe your experience actually become your experience and what this means for you as an online expert How confusion always precedes a breakthrough and why the discomfort you're feeling might actually be the most beautiful signal your life has sent you The three main arenas of life Brad uses to do a real audit and why neglecting even one of them quietly sabotages all the others The hidden inner conflicts most people can't see that are causing them to take two steps forward and three steps back without even knowing it Why outsourcing your personal growth or life decisions to AI is one of the most dangerous things you can do for your sense of identity and direction For full show notes and links, visit: https://www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com/blog/845 

My good buddy Brandon Lucero is back on the show, and this one is going to blow your mind!

Change is the only constant in life, and yet most of us resist it, avoid it, or get blindsided by it. Today, I'm giving you a complete crash course on how to approach new chapters in your life with intention, strategy, and purpose (rather than just reacting to whatever shows up)!  I'm also sharing some personal updates, including what life has felt like on the other side of a chapter I've been navigating for almost 6 years now. This one goes deep, and I think it's going to hit home for a lot of you! Snap a screenshot of the episode playing on your device, post it to your Instagram Stories and tag us, @jameswedmore and @jenniwedmore. We'd love to hear what resonated with you the most from this episode and especially what you want covered in future ones.  In this episode you'll hear:  The simple three-step framework I use to navigate any major life transition with intention and power Why moving too fast is almost always driven by fear, and what happens when you finally slow down enough to get still The 6 categories of life I use to audit where I'm really at, and the three lenses I look through for each one Why the stories we tell about each area of our life are generating our results in that area, whether we know it or not The fascinating research that shows why subtraction is almost always the most elegant solution to improving your life How to apply the same decluttering energy to your business, and the two biggest countercurrents quietly pulling you off course Why doing less actually allows you to do everything better, and what happens to your other offers when you close one down How to create a new vision, identify the right habits, and craft a new story for the areas of your life that need it most Why sustainability should be your north star in business and the simple math that shows how a half-million dollar business can set you up for financial freedom in 10 years The one big mindset shift that I believe is the real secret to manifesting more in your business For full show notes and links, visit: www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com/blog/843
