Scale Your Vision

When your membership or subscription hits consistent revenue, the question that sneaks in is: do you keep pouring fuel into lead generation, or do you stop and ask what happens once people are already inside? It feels easier (and faster) to keep the front door swinging, but the truth is, scaling sustainably rarely comes from piling on more new members. The real leverage is retention — the part hiding in plain sight.. . . . . . . . . . . . .🌟 Have a specific question you want me to workshop on the show?I set up this voice-note line so you can send context-rich questions I can answer for everyone’s benefit — and I can’t wait to hear what you’re building!. . . . . . . . . . . . .What’s inside this episodeThe counterintuitive reason chasing top-of-funnel can stall profit — even when it spikes salesA simple diagnostic to decide if you have a lead gen issue or a delivery bottleneck disguised as churnMy email tactics that I swear by to increase engagement and retention (this is a hill I will die on!) How offboarding works as a growth lever for higher ticket and/or term projects to multiplies referrals, alumni sales, and repeat buyersThe cost of acquisition vs attention and why this should matter a LOT to you. . . . . . . . . . . . .Connect with Adriane and Visionaries!Let's be friends on the 'gram – @visionariesonline or @adrianegaleaConnect on Linkedin – with Adriane or VisionariesVisit us on the web at visionaries.coCome network with us in The Visionaries Collective

Growing fast and feeling that itch to hire — but also hearing the tiny voice asking, “Um… are we sure?” You’re not alone. In this candid, super practical deep-dive (basically a masterclass tbh), we walk through the exact thought process of when to hire, who to hire, and how to do it responsibly — especially if you’re a small business owner who wears 47 hats and prefers a sleep-filled life over waking up at 2am in payroll panic. But this episode isn’t just about checklists and cost formulas — at its core, it’s about trust. Trusting yourself to make a call (sometimes before you feel “ready”), trusting the numbers enough to quiet the what-ifs, and trusting that a thoughtful hire can create space for more growth and more possibility. If you’ve ever wondered whether bringing someone on would free you up or just weigh you down, the goal of this conversation is to give you the clarity to move forward with more confidence about building a team that truly works for you.🌟 Have a specific question you want me to workshop on the show?I set up this voice-note line so you can send context-rich questions I can answer for everyone’s benefit — and I can’t wait to hear what you’re building!What’s inside this episodeThe simple litmus test that tells you what your first (or next) hire should be able to do — and how to spot that thing before you post a jobThe “90-day runway” rule that keeps you from white-knuckling payroll — plus when to bump that to six monthsWhen SOPs are non-negotiable (even for tiny teams) and how to have your hire draft them while you train—without lowering standardsHow to sneakily get some extra bang-for-your-buck out of your next hireA tiny distinction between two types of hires that explains 90% of onboarding headachesA lesson I had to learn the hard way about choosing between “potential” and “ready right now"The permission slip you need to stop waiting for “every duck in a row” and start making smart, data-backed calls with your gutConnect with Adriane and Visionaries!Let's be friends on the 'gram – @visionariesonline or @adrianegaleaConnect on Linkedin – with Adriane or VisionariesVisit us on the web at visionaries.coCome network with us in The Visionaries Collective

When your sales feel… sleepy, where do you poke first? In this episode, we crack open how to tell if you have a speed problem, a standard problem, or a signal problem — and what to tweak so conversions wake up again.  We'll also dig into why “funnel problems” aren’t always problems at all — sometimes they’re just the market maturing, your buyer awareness shifting, or your traffic source drying up. Think of it like running lab work on your sales process: you’ll discover whether you actually have something broken, or if you just need to adjust your expectations, your lead intent, or the way you’re measuring success.🌟 Have a specific question you want me to workshop on the show?I set up this voice-note line so you can send context-rich questions I can answer for everyone’s benefit — and I can’t wait to hear what you’re building!What’s inside this episodeThe awareness spectrum and how courting highly solution-aware humans changes your conversions drasticallyA simple lens for saturated markets: why buyers are taking longer, and what that means for your expectations and your strategyWhy your fastest buyers are typically “unicorns,” and how to ethically attract more of them without leaning on manipulative triggersThe quiet moneymaker that recovers impulse buys with or without discounting everythingWhen to stop tweaking the sales page and start rebuilding intent upstream (lead source, lead magnet, and messaging)Internal vs. external marketing ecosystems and why many funnels stall after the first follow-up sequenceThe #1 thing that everything comes back to when attracting the highest quality leadsConnect with Adriane and Visionaries!Let's be friends on the 'gram – @visionariesonline or @adrianegaleaConnect on Linkedin – with Adriane or VisionariesVisit us on the web at visionaries.coCome network with us in The Visionaries Collective

If the thought of posting on five platforms a day makes you want to curl into a ball and take a nap, this episode is your permission slip to build a sales engine that doesn’t live or die by the algorithm. We’re breaking down visibility in a way that aligns with your energy, your season of business, and the way you actually like to connect — so you’re not force-feeding yourself trends that never turn into revenue.Over the past decade, I’ve scaled multiple businesses to multi-millions while barely touching social media — and not because I had a secret content hack, but because I understood how visibility really works. In this episode, I’ll show you what’s actually available beyond the trying to make the algorithm gods happy — from active strategies that give you quick bursts of attention to passive ones that compound for years — and why picking the right mix can change everything about how your business grows.🌟 Have a specific question you want me to workshop on the show?I set up this voice-note line so you can send context-rich questions I can answer for everyone’s benefit — and I can’t wait to hear what you’re building!What’s inside this episodeThe real difference between creating social posts versus assets that work for years — and why neither is right or wrongA counterintuitive way to use social media that supports referrals and retention without building a content hamster wheelThe only 4 ways to generate visibility — and how they combine into a compounding flywheelA practical way to turn old podcast episodes into long-term, evergreen sales assetsThe re-engagement email sequence you can use to warm a cold (or dead) list and earns trust in daysThe super simple visibility stack to start now with a longer term plan to shift weight toward compounding assetsThe permission slip that frees you to pause *any* marketing channel, re-evaluate ROI, and come back if and when it actually serves the planConnect with Adriane and Visionaries!Let's be friends on the 'gram – @visionariesonline or @adrianegaleaConnect on Linkedin – with Adriane or VisionariesVisit us on the web at visionaries.coCome network with us in The Visionaries Collective

You’ll learn the five phases (Development, Startup, Growth, Expansion, Maturity), the Four S’s (Starting, Scaling, Skating, Structuring), and a simple input/output lens that tells you exactly what to prioritize at each revenue level.🌟 Have a specific question you want me to workshop on the show?I set up this voice-note line so you can send context-rich questions I can answer for everyone’s benefit — and I can’t wait to hear what you’re building!What’s inside this episodeThe 70% rule that quietly accelerates momentum and how it forces your work hours to actually support your business growthAll my frameworks: my 5 phases of growth that supports you through $1m+/year, the 4S's of growth, and the 7 pillars of scalingThe input/output test that sorts whether you're actually scaling or if you're in a phase of growthHow to know when it's time for more market presence or if it's time to pivot into true market differentiation... or to just stay in your lane and focus on salesThe operational “house” analogy that reinforces your foundation before you add the next "story" (and why skipping this usually costs big headaches)When “scale” finally becomes the right goal (hint: it's might be further away than you think) — and what readiness actually looks like behind the scenesConnect with Adriane and Visionaries!Let's be friends on the 'gram – @visionariesonline or @adrianegaleaConnect on Linkedin – with Adriane or VisionariesVisit us on the web at visionaries.coCome network with us in The Visionaries Collective
