Road Back to $100K Months In Less Than 30 Hours A Week

"Everything's going so well, Megan. Why the hell are you throwing this wrench in?"   When I tell you this wasn't even a top-of-mind goal… It wasn't something I said out loud or even thought that much of consciously. But it was obviously in there subconsciously!   Initially, I only shared it with my mastermind peers. Then I went and shared my big hairy, scary goal on social—for the whole world to see!   But here's the thing… I've felt myself playing it really safe in business recently.   There's nothing wrong with that! My nervous system NEEDED safe and calm after giving birth to twins and adjusting to that new lifestyle. Now?  Now I know my non-negotiables, I have a clear timeline, and I know exactly how I do (and do NOT) want to hit this goal.   I'm sharing it all in this podcast episode, so press play and join me on what's sure to be a wild ride!   → Come say hi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney → Sign up for the Weekly Edge Newsletter: https://meganyelaney.com/newsletter-opt-in  → 10X Is Easier Than 2X Book: https://amzn.to/4bU8EMc   

The Anti-Social Lead Strategy with Holly Haynes

One platform should NOT be your whole business. (Stay with me!) It feels GREAT to get more views on a post than normal! Getting those views on your website matters just as much—if not more.   Sure some of the views on social are search-based, but a lot of it is that people happen to be scrolling and you stop their scroll. They're not intentionally looking for that thing.   When you do get that kind of engagement from your content? Game-changing!   So… how can you create a lead gen system to bring in the right clients without posting on social media all. day. long?   That's exactly why Holly Haynes is with us on the pod! She does this for herself and her clients following her anti-social strategies. (Which aren't quite what you're expecting.)   In this actionable conversation, Holly explains what micro partnerships are (and how to easily spot your first one), shares the BEST question you can ask yourself as a business owner, and we even get into what time management looks like as a twin mom and business owner!   You're gonna want to bookmark and come back to this one. 😉    → Tune in to Crush the Rush™ Podcast with Holly! → Get instant access to the "Ditch the Drama" Workshop  

How I Support 39 Clients In 25 Hours a Week

"How tf do you manage all of us?"   That question came out of a mastermind call and it inspired this entire podcast episode!   In a nutshell: I have 3 main things. They allow me to serve clients well AND be a whole person—and mom, and wife, and daughter, and friend, and all the things.   To give you some context, I have 39 clients right now—15 in TDE, 13 in the TDE continuation, 9 in the mastermind, and 2 one-on-one clients.   Now I've had way more than 39 clients at once in the past! But a lot of them were in programs that I had at the time that were not as hands-on.   The way things are right now, my offers are high-ticket and high-touch. And I'm bringing you behind-the-scenes to show you exactly how I do it—and you can, too!   Do not neglect your business just because you are so deep in serving clients. It will bite you in the butt!   I promise you can do both! I do both and I know you can do both, too.   Share any follow-up questions you have with me—send me a DM on Instagram. I love hearing from you!   → Come say hi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney → Sign up for the Weekly Edge Newsletter: https://meganyelaney.com/newsletter-opt-in  → 10X Is Easier Than 2X Book: https://amzn.to/4bU8EMc   

The Entrepreneur Marriage Problem Nobody Wants to Admit

It's far too easy for that connection between couples to slip away when you're in that building stage as a business owner.   And I know I say this about everyone on the podcast, but these two… Are the reason we got pregnant.   Not in a weird way! They revived our marriage in so many ways, which is what ultimately brought us our baby boys.   It's WILD to see the domino effect of what this coaching did for our life.   James and Angela Mitchell specifically help married entrepreneurs. Such a unique situation requires coaches who actually "get it." They not only get it—they're living it, just like we are!   Angela brings over 20 years in the counseling world working with women and families, while James draws from his experience as a lifelong entrepreneur and years as a transformational coach for men and couples.   Together they have this magic where they blend heart and strategy to help couples get on the same page, deepen their connection, and build a marriage that not only thrives but fuels their business success. And who knows… maybe even go on to have twins!   → Get the full show notes here!   James + Angela's Links: →Podcast: Married & Magnetic on Apple or Spotify   Meg's Links: →Say hi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney  →Discover how to craft a powerful business origin story that sets you apart, builds trust, and inspires clients to work with you: https://meganyelaney.com/business-story-blueprint
