Welcome to Day Four of the Too Much Series - five mini-episodes with short but insightful and practical questions to help you tap into being too much so you can make too much noise, impact, and money in your business. Are you pulling back when it comes to your prices, owning your work, marketing, or selling your offers? This might *seem* like the right thing to do to make sure potential clients know that you're nice, accommodating, and not too pushy. But, that isn't always the best route to take if you want to build trust with potential clients, make consistent, confident sales, and grow and scale your business. In fact, the opportunity and monetary costs of playing small and hiding in plain sight could be bigger than you realize. Tune into Day Four, Episode 46 where we uncover ONE Question to Be in Your Power and Sell More with Confidence. iTunes Episode Links: Learn more about Kim: kimargetsinger.com Learn more about the show: kimargetsinger.com/podcast Sign up for the Too Much Series and receive the Bonus playbook: kimargetsinger.com/one-question-too-much-series Join Kim's FB Group, Business Besties & Creative Bosses: bit.ly/businessbestiesfbgroup Enroll in Sell Out Without Feeling Like a Sellout for Free: kimargetsinger.com/sell-out
There's a note I've been giving almost every single client, at every stage of business, when I review their content and copy. This is also something I've been working on myself, which is likely why I keep noticing it everywhere. (No, it's not "own your work and share more results", though, that too!) That's why in Episode 212, I'm unpacking ONE question for content that gets attention, builds trust, and creates demand. Because clear and sharp marketing that lands with your audience matters more than ever. In this episode, you'll hear: Why people's bandwidth is down and what that means for how content actually works and what's getting noticed, building momentum, and turning into leads and sales right now. What it means to "kill your darlings", the number one thing that waters down content, and how to create connection and authority without overexplaining. How to use this one question to get clear on what a piece of content is actually for in your marketing strategy and sales process before you create it. The surprising way we end up stuck in proving energy that can do more to repel than attract right-fit leads, what this is about, and how to shift it. How to apply this in the ideation phase, editing phase, and when the resistance kicks in or you're second-guessing yourself.

I find as high achievers, we tend to do one of two things (or both): We get a big result, like a sold-out launch or a $50k month, and attribute it to luck or call it a fluke. Or we get disappointed when we don't get the result we wanted and blame ourselves, decide we suck, or blame outside circumstances, like the algorithm that's supposedly out to get us. And whatever the outcome, neither response is all that supportive if you want to create reliable, repeatable revenue and sustain long-term business growth. That's why in this week's episode, I'm unpacking ONE Question I come back to again and again for clarity, strategic decision-making, and results you can actually repeat. In Episode 211, you'll hear: How we give our power away as business owners and how to use this question to take it back by getting clear on what is and isn't in your control. What "success leaves clues" really means and how to spot those clues whether you had a big win or a disappointing result. The truth about business results and how understanding this can help you create more consistent, reliable revenue. The strategic insight this question gave me about my most recent masterclass and how to apply it to your own launch results, conversion events, and content performance. How to get back to neutral so you can stop spiraling, solve the right problem, and make smarter, strategic decisions in your business. My three-part framework for evaluating results with clients 1:1, plus one bonus lens to help you avoid stopping too soon or sabotaging your own momentum.

If you were to open my inbox or DMs on any given day, you'd find countless pitches telling me all the things I'm doing wrong and what I need to fix my business. Some of the ideas and strategies aren't even all that bad. But after celebrating my ten-year business anniversary and looking back at what's helped me sustain a fully booked 1:1 roster for over seven years and generate more than $2M in revenue, I can see that chasing everyone else's advice or every new strategy hasn't been the thing that created my results. It also hasn't been burying my head in the sand and ignoring the fact that things online and in our industry continue to change. Because the truth is, they do. What used to work sometimes stops working as well, and new opportunities and strategies emerge all the time. The difference for me has been knowing what actually deserves my attention… and what doesn't. In this week's episode,I'm unpacking ONE Question to know exactly what to focus on to scale your business (and the shiny objects to ignore). I'm sharing how I diagnose what's happening inside a business so you can identify the right problem to solve and focus on the actions that create revenue and growth. Because when you're this.close. to your business, everything can start to look important. Every idea, strategy, and platform sounds like it might be the missing piece. And it becomes surprisingly easy to spend time, energy, and money solving problems that were never actually the issue. In Episode 210, you'll hear: • How answering this ONE Question helped me go from working until 3am, doing all the things, and struggling to see results… to more than 80 consecutive $10k–$50k cash months while working less. • Why it's not always a leads or sales problem, and what your business may actually need to double or triple revenue without burning you out, harming delivery, or dropping the ball. • The real reason I'm not focusing on SEO or AI discoverability right now, even though it's a smart strategy in 2026 and something I'm recommending to some clients. • The difference between a symptom and the real problem in business, and why diagnosing this correctly is often the key to bigger results. • What every business needs to have before making changes to sales pages, emails, offers, or marketing strategies. • The number one thing I focus on with clients that sits at the center of my coaching and my own business results and why this directly affects your revenue, profitability, and scalability.

I just celebrated my ten year business birthday and anniversary (and am still processing the milestone!). As a multi-six-figure business owner with an 80% profit margin, this puts me in a small % of businesses, and even smaller when we look at women-owned and led businesses and longevity. This level of financial security and freedom isn't something I take for granted, and earlier this year I found myself reflecting to my own coach that even if my business never makes another dollar beyond what it already does, I'm content and have more than enough. And yet… last month, I caught myself in a familiar pattern that sounds like, "This isn't enough, yet." That's why in this week's episode, I'm unpacking ONE Question to unhook from the pressure to be increasingly impressive in order to sustain bigger results. We're diving into how high-achieving business owners weaponize their own ambition and drive against themselves, and how to shift out of this form of self-sabotage to scale more sustainably (and actually enjoy your business, too). In this episode, you'll hear: The high-achiever trap that disguises itself as growth, discipline, or "just wanting more", what this is actually about, and how this limits success. The role pressure plays in decision-making, creativity, and long-term business sustainability. Why chasing bigger and better results can block receiving what you actually want (even when things are objectively working). The counterintuitive shift that supports steadier revenue, grounded confidence, and leadership without constant self-monitoring or proving.

You know how they say, "New level, new devil"? I've found it to be more like, "New level, same devil". It just shows up differently. And ideally, with each new level, it gets easier to notice and shift more quickly. In this episode, I'm unpacking ONE Question to stop overfunctioning and becoming the bottleneck in your business. This is a pattern that's shown up for me at every stage and uplevel of business, and one I see with high-achieving, high-capacity, hyper-independent business owners who are used to being the one who's always "got it!". I talk about how this dynamic plays out with clients, teams, and leadership and why learning to step out of it is essential if you want to grow without burning out or unintentionally disempowering the people you're trying to support. In this episode, you'll hear: The identity shift that becomes essential as you scale and how it impacts both your personal growth and your client and team dynamics The lesson I didn't expect when I retired my husband and became the breadwinner and how it changed the way I think about responsibility in business. Why leadership can start to feel heavier at each new level, even when things are "working," and why this often becomes the real constraint to growth. The difference between overdelivering and overfunctioning and why that distinction matters if you want to support client results without carrying everything yourself.

Instead of unpacking ONE Question the way we usually do, listen in on a live coaching session and the questions that come up when you're ready to build momentum and book more clients but low on time and energy (maybe you can relate?). Because while there's no one-size-fits-all formula for business, what's personal is almost always universal. And, what came up in this session is something I see stall so many entrepreneurs, whether they're booking their first client or scaling to six-figures and beyond. In this coaching session, you'll hear from a business owner who's balancing a job while rebuilding her business after a more passive year. She wanted an efficient, sustainable way to book clients and increase revenue without burning out or resorting to marketing that feels pushy or gross. Together, we simplified her marketing, got clear on her sales actions to actually move the needle, and mapped out a simple plan to book her next few clients in weeks (not months). In fact, about two weeks after our call, she reached out to let me know she'd booked a new pay-in-full client. Here's what you'll hear in the session: Why offering calls felt sticky for her and how to structure them in a way that actually leads to booking paying clients. The truth about "helpful" content vs. content that converts, and a simple shift you can apply to your own marketing for more sales. A different way to think about "problem awareness" content that builds trust without shaming your audience. The truth about more manipulative marketing tactics that's helpful for all of us to remember. Be sure to stick around until the end of the episode, where I share a few reflections and self-coaching questions to help you apply this to your own business, whether you're just getting started or ready to scale. If you take nothing else away from this session, I hope it reminds you that you're probably closer to your goals than you realize, and that you already have more clarity about your next best step than you think.

What do you do when your content is technically correct… but you can tell something's off? I don't just review my clients' content and copy. I regularly look at my own data and give myself feedback, too. And this week, I was looking at a few of my talking-head reels that were perfectly fine on paper, but still missing the mark for me. Taking a neutral step back made the issue pretty obvious. And it's something I've been noticing more and more in my clients' marketing as well. That's why, in Episode 206, I'm unpacking ONE Question for magnetic, relationship-driven content. In this episode, you'll hear: What "polished" content is often missing, and what to shift without looking sloppy, messy, or unprofessional. The subtle energy that repels clients even when you're saying all the right words. How to use one simple question to drop the mask, share more lived insight, and build deeper connection, trust, and social currency with your audience.

I told my stepson the other day that I've never regretted a decision I've made. But I have regretted decisions I didn't make because I hesitated, overanalyzed, ignored what I knew was true, or let someone else tell me what was right for me. As I'm sitting with a strategic decision about starting a new platform (spoiler alert: Substack), I've been reminded of that truth. Because while I do think it's important as entrepreneurs for us to consider what's working, data, what's trending, and what's most strategic, the longer I'm in business, the more I've realized that the best decisions I've made weren't always the most logical, but they were the most aligned. That's why, in Episode 205, I'm unpacking ONE Question to decide your next move in business. This is the same question I use to filter nearly every major decision in my business (and life), especially when there are multiple "good" or "right" options on the table. It's also the same question that's helped me discern which opportunities aren't for me (even shiny, profitable ones), and where I need to say no (and leave money on the table) so I have the capacity to say yes elsewhere. In this episode, you'll hear: How this lens has shaped the way I structure my business, make decisions more quickly, and choose strategies I can actually stick with long enough for them to compound. Why so many business owners stay stuck in indecision even when the next step is clear and what this hesitation costs you. The hidden tradeoffs that come with every opportunity, including the "good" ones, and why understanding this matters if you want to scale sustainably. Two underrated CEO-level skills that help you cut through noise, shiny objects, and external pressure. The biggest secret and hack of all time for long-term, sustainable success.

Ever look at someone and wonder how they're getting the results they are when their strategy seems so basic? If you're honest, you've probably looked at some of the people making seven and eight figures and thought your offer, delivery, content, or strategy is better…or at least just as good. And, while those things matter (they're all things I support my 1:1 clients with), the longer I'm in business, the more I've seen that strategy alone isn't what determines how much money someone makes or their ability to sustain it. What matters just as much is who we're being, how we're thinking, how we're showing up, and our capacity to hold what comes with success. When I look at the extra $100k I added in revenue last year, or at my $52k cash month, I can see clearly that neither came from creating a new offer, building a complicated funnel, pushing harder, or spending just as much on team and ads. That's why, in Episode 204, I'm unpacking ONE Question to Scale Your Success Without Pushing It Away, one I've had to ask myself at every level. In this episode, you'll hear: Why "having the right strategy" and working harder isn't always enough to scale or sustain growth. What actually comes with making more money, visibility, and success and why that matters more than most business owners realize. How your identity sets the ceiling for how much success and money you'll allow yourself to make and hold. Why smart, talented business owners end up in feast-and-famine cycles or feel like their strategy "isn't working" despite doing the "right" things. Why your next level of growth may require more safety and capacity and not just another offer, strategy, or sales sprint.

One of the questions I get asked most often is how I make the kind of money I do as a 1:1 coach. Right behind that is: How do you really feel about revenue share? Very quickly followed by: Do you think revenue share would work in my business? I've used a revenue share model for about five years, both as a client and as a coach. I'm still paying my own coach this way nearly eight years later, and I've built my entire 1:1 coaching practice around it. I've also seen (and love) clients and peers adopt this model after watching how it's worked for me. That said, I don't think revenue share is right for everyone. Like any business model, it comes with tradeoffs that are important to understand before opting in. That's why, in Episode 203 of ONE Question, I'm answering your question about whether revenue share is right for your business and sharing my unfiltered experience after years on both sides of this as a client and coach. Whether you're simply curious about revenue share, actively considering it for your business, or trying to understand how I think about scaling more broadly, this episode will help you think more clearly about what actually matters when choosing a business model. In this episode, you'll hear: Who revenue share does (and doesn't) work best for practically speaking. The real truth about control and speed when scaling with revenue share (and why this isn't a get-rich-quick strategy). The risk involved with this model and how I recommend protecting yourself if you use it. How revenue share encourages long-term relationships, retention, and deeper client results. What's been hardest for me on both sides of this model as a client and as a coach. The mindset work required to make revenue share sustainable (especially around boundaries, enoughness, and money).

Last year, I added $100k in additional revenue to my multi-six-figure coaching practice without launching a new offer, adding more complexity, or changing my business model. It wasn't because I posted more, worked harder, or increased ad spend (I've consistently maintained an 80% or more profit margin). But, I did focus on one thing most people overlook when they think about scaling a coaching or service-based business. That's why, in Episode 202, I'm sharing ONE question I've been asking myself for over a decade, and how it's helped me build the right kind of demand, stay fully booked with clients I genuinely love for seven years, increase capacity, and scale sustainably. In this episode, you'll hear: The primary strategy I'm focusing on in 2026 to scale my high-level coaching practice without burning out or wanting to burn it all down (and how this approach works across business models). Why scaling sustainably is really about solving a capacity problem and the three types of capacity that allow you to increase revenue without working harder. What I see many business owners overlook in the sales process, and why this matters if you want to avoid misaligned or draining client dynamics. The common way service providers misuse the term "right-fit client," and how this can sabotage growth, capacity, and getting (and staying) fully booked. How this question evolves at different stages of business, and the five filters I use to discern right-fit clients as I scale. How to apply your answer to this question across your messaging, marketing, and sales process to attract better clients, improve retention, and grow sustainably.

It's not new news that things have changed online. Gone are the days where you can just post whatever, sit back, and watch the clients and sales roll in. So, if you've noticed your reach going down, content not working the way it used to, or a slow down of leads from social media, you're probably not imagining it. The way we're all consuming content and information has changed and even the way we're shopping, looking for recommendations, and deciding who to trust is changing faster than ever. Whether we like it or not, AI is a big part of that shift, especially when it comes to visibility in an AI-driven world. AI also isn't going anywhere, so ignoring it isn't a strategy (it's avoidance). That's why, when I heard my friend Sam DiNicola, the founder of Sam DiNicola Digital, a boutique marketing agency, talking about a strategy to get recommended on AI (not just ranked or seen), I knew I had to talk to her and bring her on the podcast. Join us in Episode 201, where Sam generously shares her decade of marketing experience and unpacks her ONE Question to Get Visible, Stand Out, and Sell in an AI-Driven World. In this episode, Sam and I talk about: The visibility strategy Sam is using with her clients that feels Gary Vee-ahead-of-the-curve (and why most people are already behind). How AI is changing reach, discovery, and being found and why this matters for your business even if you don't use AI at all. Why people are getting less traffic from social media, where that attention is actually going, and what you can implement to get seen and discovered by more right-fit leads. "AI slop," how it affects everyone (even original content creators), the trust recession, AEO, and what it really means to be discoverable when people aren't even "Googling" the way they used to How search behavior and buying behavior have fundamentally changed (ours included). The business advice that matters whether you're using AI, social media, or old-school marketing, and why we can't afford to ignore this shift if we don't want to be the Blockbuster of 2026. Whether or not you use AI in your business or plan to implement an AEO strategy, this is a valuable and relevant conversation for every business owner who wants to remain relevant and scale in 2026.

Let's talk about money, honey. Because the more we talk about it, the more we normalize it, understand it, and get better at the game of money. Some of the most clarifying and helpful financial education I've had has come from having conversations with other business owners, and this turned out to be true again at a retreat I went to last year with 20+ multi-six and seven-figure business owners. What started as a conversation about our biggest lessons around wealth also showed me a common thread about how we think about safety, support, ambition, generosity, and what it actually means to feel "resourced" with money. Everyone came at their finances and wealth building from a different angle, but underneath it all was the same desire: to stop relating to money from pressure, scarcity, or proving, and the power of making decisions from steadiness and enoughness. That's why, in Episode 200, I'm unpacking ONE Question I use to make and have more than enough money and how I think about setting financial goals and building wealth, saving, investing, retirement, donating, and spending. In this episode, you'll hear: A behind-the-scenes look at what those retreat money conversations revealed about how successful business owners relate to money, safety, ambition, and making and having "enough." How I use one simple lens to make financial plans that support wealth-building, ensure I have what I need when I retire, and allow me to enjoy and spend my money now, without operating from fear or pressure. Why clarity around your numbers can create more freedom, better decisions, and less emotional charge around money.

About this time last year, I dove into one of my favorite practices to review, reflect, and set myself up for the new year ahead. I also added on something I've never done before, and it was eye-opening. It helped me spot how often I'd been getting in my own way and making business so much harder than it needed to be. That's why, in Episode 198, I'm unpacking ONE Question Behind My Biggest Year in Business Yet (and Stopping Problems That Don't Exist). In Episode 198, you'll hear: The surprising pattern I couldn't unsee, and the line in the sand I drew this time last year that helped me change the way I focus, take action, and show up. How to use this question to spot energy leaks, wasted time, and the ways we distract ourselves from what actually moves the needle. The concept of 'dissolving the problem' and how shifting your point of focus directly changes your results. The dirty little secret for many of us high achievers, and how we unknowingly sabotage momentum when things are actually going well. How I use the DBT Threat Assessment tool in business, plus the follow-up questions I ask when there is a real problem to solve.

Real talk: I have everything I've ever wanted in business and life, and I also started my 44th birthday bawling. Not because I have an issue with getting older, but because I find it tough to have a whole day that's all about me. This episode is an honest look at the patterns so many high-achieving entrepreneurs play out without realizing it: being "fine," low-maintenance, hyper-independent, over-functioning, and abandoning ourselves while telling everyone we don't need anything and that we've "got it." I'm unpacking ONE Question I asked myself to shift this pattern and my birthday, and why your unapologetic answer to this question matters for you as a CEO if you want to be able to grow, scale, lead, and receive more of the good stuff (like success, money, and joy) without pushing it away or making it harder than it needs to be. In Episode 197, you'll hear: The sneaky way high achievers abandon themselves, why this is hard to spot, and how this might be limiting your capacity to earn and scale. The subtle ways we lie to ourselves without realizing it, how these patterns inform our identity, and how to shift into CEO-level self-leadership. The difference between being "mask up" and "mask down," and what patriarchy, good girl conditioning, and coping mechanisms have to do with it. An important reminder about blame, responsibility, and the real work that begins when you gain awareness of where you're overgiving or not getting your needs met. How to use this question to open yourself up to receive more, ask for support, and scale sustainably.

I'm back after almost two years with Season Two and twelve brand-new episodes for you. If you're wondering where the f*ck I've been, what I've been working on behind the scenes, and why now was the right time to return, I'm answering your ONE Question in this first episode back. I'm also celebrating my biggest revenue year after almost a decade in business and unpacking the ONE Question I've been asking myself all year. This is the same question that's helped me make strategic decisions, add $100k in revenue, and ultimately know it was time to bring the podcast back. Now I want to ask you this unapologetic question to help you tap into your own unapologetic answer for your next strategic step to scale in 2026. In Episode 196, you'll hear: The strategic shifts I've been implementing and mastering behind the scenes since episode 195, and how these helped me add $100k in revenue this year. The truth about big results, what they actually take, and why consistency and relationship-building still matter more than ever. The changes in the online space I can't stop talking about, including what you need to know about AI, the "trust recession," and how to future-proof your business. The three things every marketing strategy needs and why it's so important to diagnose and solve the right problems in your business. What I'm focused on as a high-level, high-touch business coach (and partner) and how you can apply this to your own business model. The part of this ONE Question most business owners skip, and why it's everything if you want to grow in the current landscape and set yourself up to scale next year. If you're ready for honest conversations, strategic clarity, and the unapologetic questions that lead to unapologetic answers and results, you're in the right place. I'm so happy to be back and so grateful you're here for this next season with me.

Let's be real: most of us have gone through a pivot of some sort in business or life. I mean, who didn't have to navigate a shift during Covid and the last few years?! And yet, while this is likely something every business has in common, this is something you can't always see when looking at someone else's marketing or when you hear their sales numbers. This week's guest marketing powerhouse and founder of FortisOBM, Melinda Colón, sat down with me for a conversation to normalize the pivot, what you don't want to lose sight of when you make a shift, and what really matters when it comes to growing and scaling your business. As a marketing expert in the corporate world, Melinda has brought unparalleled expertise and managed hundreds of proposals and presentations and delivered provoking and converting responses to major multi-million and billion-dollar projects worldwide. In this episode, Melinda and I unpack ONE Question to Focus Your Superpower and Serve Who Matters for Profitable Pivots. Join the conversation to learn about who you want to think about to support the kinds of shifts that scale, the benefits of pivoting, and creating success beyond the practical/tactical side.

Word of the year has been one of my favorite reflection and personal growth practices since I learned about it in coach training over 12 years ago, and I've done it almost every year since. My words have shaped my growth, leadership, and even my business and this podcast. Unapologetic was my word the year we launched ONE Question: Unapologetic Questions for Unapologetic Results, and this practice continues to influence how I think, teach, and coach. As part of this practice, I always take time to review my word and how it challenged me, what it taught me, and where it stretched me before deciding on my focus and goals for the year ahead. That's why, in Episode 199, I'm unpacking ONE Question to rethink your word of the year and use it as a tool for deeper personal and business growth in 2026. In this episode, you'll hear: My word from 2025 (acknowledged), how it became a powerful teacher for me, and the biggest lessons and gifts it offered, including how it supported my biggest revenue year and cash months yet in business. How I think about the word of the year practice and use it throughout the year to support intentional growth and decision-making (hint: the "result" isn't just picking the word). ONE Question I use to uncover my growth edge and let my word and focus for the year ahead reveal itself.

Ever seen a successful business owner make a big change to their strategy and wonder why (and wish they'd tell you!)? It can be confusing from the outside looking in because aren't you supposed to "pick and stick"?! Or maybe you've seen another entrepreneur stop doing the very thing you've been getting great results from or were thinking about starting…and wondered if maybe you were missing something and should change directions? The title already gives it away, and this week, I'm sharing this will be our final episode of ONE Question. I always want to show you behind-the-scenes the best I'm able. So in Episode 195, I'm unpacking our last ONE Question, and what I've been asking over the last year that led to this decision. I'm giving you a peek into my thought process as a booked out, multi-six-figure coach and what I want to invite you to consider in your own business so you can continue to stay relevant to sustain and scale your success over the years. We're not saying "goodbye"; it's thank you, and "see you later". Hint: I have something new for you I think you're going to love!
