324. Booked Out and Still Broke
You're booked out for months. You're closing good clients. From the outside, it looks like you've made it.

321. What No BS Mastery Actually Is and Who It’s For
Maybe you’re pricing by the hour, writing free proposals that go nowhere, or juggling so many projects that none of them ever get your full attention.Maybe clients disappear in the middle of a project and return weeks later expecting you to drop everything. Or maybe you’re making decent revenue, but you’re still constantly working and never feel like you’re getting ahead.It’s tempting to
320. Chanaya Hancock on Building Business and Community Her Own Way
When Chanaya Hancock joined No BS Mastery, she had projects that seemed to last forever and no predictable way to bring in new clients. Most of her business came through referrals, which meant work arrived when it arrived, and she had very little control over the flow.She was also deeply skeptical about joining a group program. Chanaya didn’t consider herself a community person, disliked
319. Shauna Matkovich on Positioning Yourself as the Expert in the Room
When Shauna Matkovich joined No BS Mastery, she had already narrowed down what she wanted to do and who she wanted to help.

318. Marc Scheff on Finding a Way to Market That Actually Feels Aligned

Some of it worked
317: Wes Wheless on Installing a Business Model That Actually Works
When Wes Wheless joined No BS Mastery, his pipeline had slowed down; he had turned most of his attention toward writing his book, and he was wondering whether he had already exhausted all the warm leads in his network.He had successfully sold two-week sprints, but believed he had hit a $3,000 price ceiling. He was also spending a lot of time on free sales calls that went nowhere. Then, du
316. Caitlin Lang on Building an Expert-Led Business in the Age of AI
When Caitlin Lang first joined No BS Mastery nearly three years ago, a long-term retainer had ended, the market had changed, and she had gone months without work.

315. Tam Smith on Doing Less Better and Becoming Boringly Consistent
Tam Smith started her business in 2020, but every couple of years, she found herself running into the same problem: saying yes to everything, spreading herself too thin, and working all the time.She realized she had been chasing someone else’s definition of success.

314. Karen Taylor on Turning an Expensive Side Hustle Into a Real Business
Karen Taylor knew why she wanted to build her business.

312. The Business Model for More Money, More Calm, More Life (The Future is Focus Series)
All summer, I’ve been talking about one idea: that simplicity and focus are not optional.Simplicity and focus are the harder, but better, choice and the fastest path to a profitable, sustainable expert business. And they only get more relevant as your business grows.If you want a business where you are not constantly feeling behind and overwhelmed, and where your success isn’t just in you
311. You're Solving the Wrong Problem. (The Future is Focus Series)
We live in a world with more business advice than ever before. Books, podcasts, courses, newsletters, social media. There's no shortage of information! So why do so many smart business owners still feel stuck?In this episode, I argue that the problem usually isn't a lack of information. It's that we're often solving the wrong problem. We all filter advice through our own experiences, inse
310. Why Your Next Client Isn't Coming From Your Content (The Future is Focus Series)
We hear so much about content marketing these days that it's easy to believe it's the only path to growing an expert business. But every time I ask a room full of business owners where their clients actually come from, the answer is almost always the same: referrals and personal connections.I believe we've become too focused on creating content and not focused enough on building relations
309. Amy Yamada on Why You Want AI to See You and How to Make Sure It Does!
Everything we knew about getting found on search engines has been upended by AI. It’s no longer enough to have a great SEO strategy to help people find you online. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity –– they need to see you too.Implementing GEO (generative engine optimization) is essential for getting your business surfaced and recommended by AI tools. Can you optimize being found by AI and still
308. This WILL Grow Your Business (The Future is Focus Series)
The experts I know who are the most profitable, the most referable, and the most confident in their work have all done this. They picked a focus, they got really good at it, and they stuck with it long enough for it to compound and build a reputation on it.That’s it. That’s the secret sauce.Today I want to talk about what that actually looks like in practice by sharing an example from my
307. What's More Important Than Gaining Clarity (The Future is Focus Series)
“I just want to get it right the first time.”I cannot tell you how many times someone has reached out to me for branding services when they don’t even have a business yet. They don’t want to make mistakes. They want everything to be perfect right out of the gate.And, yeah, don’t we all? It’s hard and scary to put something out there that you don’t feel is finished or tested. It can feel l
306. A Successful Business Is a Boring Business (The Future is Focus Series)
Successful business owners have to do the same things over and over, tweaking and refining as they go, until they have a clear, repeatable process that works.Issue is most entrepreneurs aren’t really wired to do the same things over and over again. We tend to be novelty seekers and risk takers, people who chase ideas and get inspired by new possibilities.So if you find yourself jumping fr
305. The Fastest Way to Make More Money (The Future is Focus Series)
Everybody wants more ease and less overwhelm in their business.So why do so many of us end up creating businesses that are exhausting to run?In this episode, I'm kicking off a special summer series (“The Future is Focus) by sharing one of the biggest lessons I've learned in 15 years of entrepreneurship: the path to more profit, freedom, and clarity isn't doing more — it's simplifying.I sh
304. Kris Byers on Leading Bigger Clients Without Losing Your Boundaries
I’m delighted to have today’s guest back on the podcast. When we last heard from Kris Byers, he told us about the incredible turnaround and evolution of his business since implementing the No BS Model. In eighteen months, he went from scared of investing in joining the program to quadrupling his income – with a third of the clients! I wanted to check back in with Kris because since that e
303. How My Students Are Building Confidence So Fast
We’ve all been there. You’re sitting across from someone you hope will hire you, there’s the potential for real money, and they ask you to do what they think is just a little bit of work on spec for free. Not to mention they want you to submit a proposal before they commit.You might have said okay and done that work, submitted that proposal, and crossed your fingers. Maybe you booked that
302. How My Students Are Building Momentum So Fast
Most people join a program like No BS Mastery for the content. They want the tactics, the frameworks, the method, the tools, the software. And we absolutely deliver on that.What people don’t always realize they need is community. Today, I want to share some student feedback and my own experiences that prove that our community is part of the program for a reason and it’s a key piece of bui
301. Why My Students Are Closing Clients So Fast
You know that moment when things finally click?When the sales conversations stop feeling awkward. When people instantly “get” what you do. When clients start showing up before you even feel fully ready. That’s what’s been happening inside my current No BS Mastery cohort, and honestly, I’m still fired up about it. And the crazy thing is that we are just five weeks into this program! So in
300. Emily Wilkins on Niching Down, Burning Out, and Coming Back Smarter
One of my star students, Emily Wilkins, joined me on the show a while back, to talk about how niching down blew up her business in the best way.She’s back today for another candid behind-the-scenes chat about where her business is now after several years of implementing the No BS Model. We’re digging into different ways she’s iterated her offerings within the model, what worked well, wha
299. The Freedom-First Business Model
These past few weeks, I’ve been talking about the pros and cons of different business models that are common for expert-based businesses. I’ve tried lots of different models, so I know firsthand the challenges of trying to make a business work with a model that may or may not fit with your business goals.We’ve gone over running a business with a team and a business selling low-ticket digi
298. The Digital Product Dream vs. Reality (No BS Edition)
In this week's episode of No BS Mastery, I'm pulling back the curtain on the "passive income digital product" dream — the good, the messy, and the stuff nobody warns you about.Because it’s a business model that I hear a lot of people gravitating towards when they’re struggling financially: the one to many model. It might be a digital product or a course, and even though those can be very
297. Think You Need a Team? Listen to This First.
At some point, you look at your workload and think: “I just need help.” Here’s the truth most people won’t tell you: Hiring employees doesn’t automatically give you more freedom or more profit. In fact, if you don’t fully understand the business model you’re stepping into, it can do the exact opposite.No one business model is right for everyone and every business model has its benefits an
296. The First Step I Never Skip (No Matter Who the Client Is)
I talk all the time about the power of using the Lead Product process instead of writing free proposals.But what if someone is ready to hire you right from the get-go, should you skip the LP? Wouldn’t doing the LP slow down the whole process and even put you at risk of losing the client?All this month, I’ve been answering some of the most common questions I got during my recent three-day
295. The Retainer Trap: Why Recurring Revenue Isn’t Freedom
Predictable income. Recurring revenue. Long-term client relationships. These are the reasons why retainer clients seem so appealing. Who wants to start from zero every month when you could have a committed client?But the truth is retainer clients don’t actually provide, let alone ensure, financial stability. They might actually keep you from having the kind of business and freedom you rea
294. Scope Creep, Sticker Shock and Endless Revisions — Solved!
What do I do when a client keeps changing their mind? What do I do when we're halfway through a project and they want to add five more things? What do I do when I present a price to a prospect and they get sticker shock and start trying negotiating with me or taking things out?These were the kinds of questions I heard in the Q & A sessions during a recent 3-day workshop. And while I c
293. Aga Siuda: The Power of Positioning in the Nonprofit Space
When people hear about the No BS business model for the first time, a lot of times their immediate reaction is, “Sounds great, but that would never work for me, my clients, my industry…”Aga Siuda is proof that anyone can make the No BS model work. And in this conversation, she shared how she effectively applied the model with nonprofit clients — with typical RFP-heavy requirements and lay
292. Erika Stanley: The Smart Way to Use AI (That No One Talks About)
Everyone is talking about AI all the time, but a lot of people are still unsure about how to use it and how to make it really work for them.Which is why I invited Erika Stanley back to the show.

She was running an orthotics practice, seeing patients all day, when she started a podcast as a creative outlet back when podcas
290: How to Scale Solo Without Falling Behind
All month, I’ve been taking you behind the scenes of my new program, No BS Mastery that helps you scale your expert-led business without hiring a team or burning out.In this episode, I’m talking about the thing that actually determines whether you get results or not. It’s not the content, or the strategy. It’s not even the tools. It’s the support structure.I’ve been coaching for over a de
289: The real reason people get stuck (and what I built to fix it)
People fail because they get stuck. They get stuck on implementation. They can’t figure out their messaging. They overthink their pricing. They spin their wheels, convince themselves they need to figure it out on their own and that it has to be perfect before they take action. And then they don’t move forward.Last week, I gave you a breakdown of the new program I’m launching on March 24th
288. The Rebuild: Why I’m Reinventing My Flagship Program
It’s official! My new book, Scale Solo, is out in the world! I’m very excited for people to get their hands on it and dig in.AND… I am also excited to be rebuilding and relaunching my flagship program, No BS Mastery, this month. Why would I do this to myself?

287: How to Hit Your Freedom Number: Lever 2
If you want to hit your financial and freedom goals, you can’t just charge more. You also have to change how you deliver.Today, I’m breaking down Lever Two of the No BS Business Model: decreasing delivery time.

Ep 285: Your Freedom Number (And Why Your Revenue Goal May Be Wrong)
Most business owners are chasing a revenue goal that sounds good: six figures, $10-20K months. But those numbers are often vague, misleading, and disconnected from the life they actually want to live.In this episode, I introduce the concept of your Freedom Number: the true amount of revenue your business needs to generate to support your personal life and business without burning out.This
Ep 284: Help People See You As The Expert That You Are
Wouldn’t it be amazing if prospects actually saw you as the expert you are?The problem is many small business owners don’t feel like their clients really see, value, and respect that work. And this is a problem because not only does does it make it harder to close prospects, it creates all kinds of issues later that lead to projects running way over time and out of scope. What you’re miss

Ep 282: 2026 Trends: Why “I Need More Leads” Is the Wrong Diagnosis
We all want quality leads in our pipeline. But these days, a lot of experts tell me they’re having trouble getting leads. The thing is, I don’t think that’s actually their problem. All the visibility in the world won’t help you if your real issue lies somewhere else. In this episode, I break down one of the biggest (and most expensive) mistakes I see smart, talented experts making: chasin

Ep 277: If 2025 Shook You, Listen To This.
A lot of us are feeling uncertainty heading into 2026. As humans, we like certainty. We want to feel like we have control over our lives. Not knowing what’s coming can be scary as hell.

Ep 273: Thoughts About the Coaching Industry (Big Changes Are Afoot: Part 3)
All this month, I’ve been getting real about the changes that are happening in my business.There have been so many decisions to be made about how to market, how to design offers, and how I can best help people really do the thing I’m teaching them to do. Here’s the thing, I don’t really think of myself as a coach, even though I’ve been in the coaching industry for years. I tend to think o
Ep 272: My Challenges With Marketing (Big Changes Are Afoot: Part 2)
As we’re making big changes in the business, I’m reworking our marketing language and it is bringing up all sorts of feelings for me. I’ve internally struggled with marketing throughout my career. I want to give people all the nuance behind what I’m offering, but nuance doesn’t tend to fit into an attention-grabbing soundbite. And then I get into my head about it, worrying that I’m someho
Ep 271: Big Changes Are Afoot: Part 1
Building a business is not always sunshine and roses. There are hard decisions and challenges, and sometimes the hardest part of all is dealing with the trash talk in our own heads.Last month, I told you about the No BS Clients Lab, but that’s not the only shift in our business that’s coming down the pipeline. I’m super excited about the direction we’re going, but I’d be lying if I said I

How do I get the right clients?That’s the number one question I get from service business owners.
