In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with my incredible mastermind client, Jenn Kleber, a former educator turned sought-after business coach for education consultants. 

Jenn’s story is packed with bold decisions, mindset shifts, and tactical strategies that helped her pivot and continue to grow in today’s market, and in this episode she’s sharing it all. 

If you’ve ever felt like your business should be working but it just isn’t, you're not alone. In this powerful conversation, Jenn reveals what really happens behind the scenes when you go all-in on your business and how to keep going when results feel slow.

If you’ve ever doubted your calling or questioned your next move, this episode is for you.

What to Listen For:

• The pivotal moment Jenn decided to start her own consulting business and what pushed her to go all in.
• How your “warm market” could be the fastest path to your first bookings.
• The real reason Jenn's first six months after pivoting didn’t go as planned (and what she did about it).
• What to do when the strategy isn’t working (and how to fix it without scrapping everything).
• The system that took Jen from reactive bookings to predictable, scalable growth.
• Why “working hard” isn’t enough and what most business owners get wrong about strategy.
• The ripple effect of impact: how helping your clients win creates momentum in your business too.
• And so much more...

This episode was a masterclass in mindset, strategy, and staying the course even when growth feels slow. If you’re in a season of pivot or building something new, Jenn’s story is the proof that systems work and your business can too.

On today's episode, I am so excited to introduce you to Brandi Matthews.

Brandi is one of our mastermind clients and is an educational consultant for therapists. On our episode today, we're talking specifically about how she got into online business, what she's doing now that's really working in her business, and how she made decisions on what to invest in and what not to invest in along the way. 

I can’t wait to discuss all of these things and more with you on today’s episode. Let’s dive in!

• At 7:39, after Brandi talks about something that many consider taboo in this industry… having another job while growing her online business. Brandi shows us that you can do both and do them really well and still be very involved in your family and free time.

If business feels frustrating right now…
If you’re doing all the things and still wondering why nothing’s quite landing…

It might not be because you're doing the wrong things.
It might be because you're doing the right things... at the wrong stage.

One of the biggest reasons smart, talented online business owners stall out and plateau?
They’re executing Stage 3 strategies… while still stuck in Stage 1.
Or they’re looping in Stage 2 without ever building a strong Stage 1 foundation.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the three stages of online business growth – what they really look like, what to focus on at each one, and what you can completely ignore for now.

Because doing the right work at the wrong time? Leads to unnecessary hustle and overwhelm.

What to listen for:

• The #1 mistake that keeps entrepreneurs stuck (and burned out)
• Why doing “advanced” strategies too early can stall your growth
• The simple breakdown of Stage 1: Scrappy Sales + Validation
• What not to waste time on when you’re starting out
• The exact markers that signal you’re ready for Stage 2
• How to move from “manual momentum” to scalable success
• Why you don’t need a team of 10 to hit consistent income
• What it really looks like to step into Impactful CEO mode in Stage 3
• The difference between automated, automatic, and AI systems

Trying to build a successful online business on a shaky foundation? That’s a recipe for frustration. But when you understand which stage of business you’re truly in, you can stop plateauing and start building with simple systems that work. If you’re ready to plug into the proven systems that match where you are now, tune into this episode.

Have you ever found yourself asking the questions: How can I grow my audience? Or, how can I get more traffic over to my offer? Maybe you've even thought about experimenting with paid traffic strategies, but you're not sure if that's the right avenue for you or what the alternatives might be.

Maybe you’ve even felt like you are the best kept secret in your space…

If any of these apply to you, today's episode was created with you in mind! Today, I'm interviewing my friend, Selena Soo, and we are talking about all things publicity!

We're going to start out by identifying, and really defining, what does publicity mean? And spoiler alert, we're not talking about paying to play in the publicity space. We're talking about how to get free publicity, visibility, and how to build authority for your online business and your brand.

One of the questions that we've been getting a lot recently is…What happened to The Business With Impact Society? Where did it go? And what is The Business with Impact Academy™? How is it different?

So on today's Business With Impact Podcast episode, we are going to share why we transitioned from the membership model to the group coaching model in our business.

And we’ll also cover some of the questions you can ask when you're deciding what type of program you're going to offer in your business.

If you're someone who struggles to show up on social media and who struggles to be consistent on social media, there is an alternative for you!

You don't have to be tethered to your phone. You don't have to stop in the middle of a fun activity with your family to take some videos for your Instagram. You don't have to be available all day to show up behind the scenes…

There is another option…there is another way. This second part of our two part series on content creation is for you!

Last week we talked about how it's not about creating content for your audience… It's about creating content for the audience that needs to hear your message. And this week, we’re going to tell you how and why social media isn’t the foundation of our business.

One of the goals that we set this year in our business was that we wanted to play a different game when it came to content creation.

This will be a two-part episode as we seek to answer these questions: How do we decide what we're going to do on social media? And then how do we specifically implement what we’ve created.

It’s going to be a great two episodes! Let’s dive in!

In our business, we look at problems a lot differently than most other businesses—We actually celebrate our problems!

But I haven't always been great at how I look at problems. I would make it mean a whole lot of things about myself, about the business, and my worth that it didn’t really mean.

So, if you're reading this right now and that's you…just know that's really normal.

But I also want to tell you that when I started to approach problems differently in my business, it allowed me to grow in leadership so that my business could grow and expand quicker than I could have ever imagined!

Welcome back to the Business With Impact Podcast for 2022!

On today's episode, we're going to be tackling goal-setting and goal-achieving. We thought this was the perfect way to kick off the new year on the podcast!

There are a couple of different types of people who are reading right now…For some of you, goals make you feel really insecure because you don’t ever hit your goals. Then there’s people who sometimes hit their goals and sometimes don't. Finally, there's those of you who always crush your goals…Goal setting just comes easy for you!

…And I want to tell you right now, that no matter which one of those categories you fall into, today's episode is for you!

As an entrepreneur, have you ever found yourself so deep into the hustle game that you didn't even know how to get out of it? Maybe you even knew you needed to get out of that lifestyle, but you just didn't know where to start.

If that's you, you're not alone. So many of us entrepreneurs have found ourselves on this hamster wheel too. And there are so many of us who have gotten out of it. How?

My friend and author, Jessica Hottle, explains how in today's episode! She also tells us why the hustle lifestyle is not normal for anyone as she helps us work through how to reset our mindset around work. I'm so excited for you to listen to this episode!

If you've ever created an opt-in, program, webinar, or launch that didn't go as expected... and threw up your hands and started over - this episode is for you!

On today's episode, we're talking about the three key ingredients to an irresistible offer and how to make sure you're creating an offer your ideal client wants to invest in. Let's dive in!

Have you ever felt like you know what you're meant to be doing, but you're just not doing it?

Our guest on today's episode, Ken Coleman, was feeling that exact same way when he found himself stuck in a career that was completely unfulfilling. In his recent book, Ken draws on what he learned from his journey, as well as from coaching thousands of others, to walk us through the seven stages of really discovering and doing meaningful work.

Ken's going to talk about some of the things that he struggled with, how he overcame those struggles. And no matter what objections we struggle with that get in the way of us living out our purpose… he's going to share his best encouragement for you!

We just got back from an incredible two-day weekend at our Impact Profit Live in-person and virtual hybrid event!

And on today's episode, we're going to recap three of the biggest lessons that our attendees shared with us. I'm excited for you to learn alongside me. Let's dive in!

Can we both agree that hustling 24/7 isn’t sustainable? 

In this episode, I’ll show you the exact framework I use (and teach my clients) to build a simple, high-impact system that creates consistent sales – even when you’re not constantly posting, launching, or showing up on camera.

What to listen for:

• The 3-part Impact Framework that drives consistent sales 
• Why visibility without profitability is keeping you stuck
• The truth about posting daily (and what to do instead)
• The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when they don’t have an offer
• What to do if you’re getting leads, but no one’s buying
• How to optimize one funnel instead of building 10
• Why your list isn’t converting (and how to fix it)
• The weekly traffic rhythm Rachel uses to grow her audience
• The secret to 6:45 AM sales while making breakfast for the kids
• How evergreen and live launch strategies can work together for scalable sales

You don’t need to be online 24/7 to make sales—you just need a system that works while you live your life. The Impact Framework is that system. It’s simple. It’s scalable. And it’s what we help you build inside the Business With Impact Academy™.

One of the questions I get asked all of the time is, “how do I decide what to invest in and when to invest in my business?

It can feel like a lot. Am I right? And so if you've been asking this question (and it's a good question to ask for your business), this episode is for you!

Today on the Business With Impact Podcast, I'm going to share the three questions I always ask before making any business investment decisions!

Welcome once again to the newest segment of the Business With Impact Podcast: Five Minute Favorites!

Today you're going to hear from the amazing Dr. Shannon Irvine, my friend and, who I’ve fondly dubbed, “the brain expert!” In Episode #23, Dr. Shannon talks all about how we literally have the ability to rewire our brains!

You might've heard the saying that we have to “take our thoughts captive.” Well, Dr. Shannon's going to show us how to do this practically, and step by step.

I’m so excited for you to hear how she explains it. Let’s dive in!

In this episode of The Business With Impact Podcast, we're talking to author and speaker, Christy Wright!

We discuss Christy’s NEW book: Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance!

This book is a message that Christy has been working on and living out in her own life and it's something that, I think, is so needed in every business owner's life! We've been defining life balance all wrong, and in this episode (and in Christy's book!), we discuss the new way we should be defining life balance!

Welcome once again to the newest segment of the Business With Impact Podcast: Five Minute Favorites!

In this Friday series we're taking some of the most inspirational highlights from guests we've had on the show over the years! While every guest we've had has been incredible, we're starting off with the episodes that received the most plays, comments, and feedback.

Today you're going to hear from the incredible Nicole Walters! In Episode 63, Nicole shared some of the mistakes that she sees online business owners make—from giving away too much for free, to the lies that we tell ourselves.

I, and Nicole, believe that if so many business owners could just hurdle over these common mistakes and give ourselves some grace, we’d see so much more success in our lives and businesses!

Be encouraged, listener, as you tune in today!

Welcome to Part Four of our five part series!

Today we're talking all about growing a list or getting leads from that content that we created in Part 1 and Part 2! So if you haven't yet listened to those two episodes, start there first!

We don't just want to build an list, we want to build an list of people who actually need our product, program, or service!

That's why we got into business in the first place... to help people who are struggling with the problem we know how to fix. So how do we do that? We’re talking all about that today!

Welcome back to the newest segment of the Business With Impact Podcast: Five Minute Favorites!

Today I’m excited for you to hear from my friend, Bob Heilig! At the very end of my episode with Bob, I asked him… If you could leave us with one thing, what would you share with us?

What he said is something, that honestly, we should all have on repeat over and over again: Success is not a matter of doing.

You’re going to love what he shares about this! Let's listen in...

Welcome to Part Three of our five part series!

Today we're talking all about building an audience or driving traffic to that content that we created in Part 1 and Part 2! So if you haven't yet listened to those two episodes, start there first!

We don't just want to build an audience, we want to build an audience of people who actually need our product, program, or service!

That's why we got into business in the first place...to help people who are struggling with the problem we know how to fix. So how do we do that? We’re talking all about that today!

Welcome to the newest segment of the Business With Impact Podcast!

Over the years, we've had so many incredible guests and so this month we're starting a new Five Minute Friday Favorite series where we're taking some of the most inspirational highlights from guests we've had on the show!

Today, you're going to hear not one, but two, clips from my former mastermind sister, Jasmine Star!

In these clips she's sharing the importance of having courage in your business and then what to do when you hear the word, "no." The way Jasmine has reframed these two concepts is something that is so important for every entrepreneur!

I know that today you're going to leave this episode feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to do big things in your business! 

In this two-part series, we're talking all things content creation... but not just any content creation... content that converts.

If content hasn’t felt simple yet – in this two-part series of the Business With Impact Podcast we’re going to break down 3 things you can start doing to simplify your content creation – we’re talking content in as little as 30 minutes a week… but we’re also talking about content with a purpose – so that you can find the customers who need your help and lead them to your product / program / or service.

Because if you know that you’re purposed to serve others, but you can’t get your message in front of the people who need it the most – well, that’s the definition of staying stuck, right?

We can all agree that every brand / product / service that you use right now has mastered at least some ability to communicate who they are and who they serve… in a way that people get it, they want it, and they buy it.

You created the freebie. You poured your best tips into it. Shared it. Promoted it. Maybe even ran some ads.

And if you’re still refreshing your screen thinking… “Where are the leads?”

Before we blame the algorithm… Before we burn it all down and start over… Let’s get real about what’s actually going on.

Because here’s what no one’s talking about:
Free offers (aka opt-ins, lead magnets, lead generators, freebies) can work.
Free leads can turn into paying clients.
But only when the freebie, the offer, and the message are fully aligned.

This episode is your behind-the-scenes look at what makes a lead magnet actually convert – without needing a massive audience or fancy funnel.

I’m breaking down:

• The 3 quiet killers of conversion
• What most freebies get wrong
• And the small, strategic shifts that change everything

Let’s fix the freebie. Let’s get it working. Let’s finally make it convert.

What to listen for:

• Why “just provide value” is an outdated strategy
• How vagueness is killing conversions (and how to fix it)
• The real purpose of a landing page – and why most are doing too much
• What your CTA should look like (and where to put it)
• The 3 mistakes so many make with their lead magnets
• Why clear beats catchy every time
• The one thing all high-converting free offers have in common
• Simple headline shifts that can triple your opt-in rate
• Real-life examples of tweaks that led to 3x and 4x conversions
• The exact structure of a high-converting landing page (plus a free template!)

Your freebie isn’t broken, it likely just needs a few tweaks to fix it. You don’t need a bigger audience or more traffic to see real results. You need the right words in the right places.

We’re back! And I am so excited to be here recording this today. It’s been a crazy month. We received countless emails, DMs, and texts asking where I’ve been and if everything was ok… 

Yes, I am… but I wasn’t… and I want to talk about that today. 

On today’s Business With Impact Podcast episode, I’m going to share three lessons that being out sick and grieving the loss of one of my husband’s friends taught me and our family -- and the lessons it taught me about being even more intentional about living for my purpose - in my purpose - and on purpose -- and I’m going to share how this is changing the way we do business...

Because if you’re listening to this episode right now, I’m guessing that you want to create a business that allows for you to disconnect. A business that helps you prioritize the most important things to you - like your faith and your family - right? While serving the people who need your help the most.

And I don’t have to tell you that so often, we lose sight of these things in the day to day hustle and work-flow.

So I’m using the experiences from this past month as a time to reset - and I’m going to invite you to do the same! 

Why is it that most people start a business and fail in the first 18 months? On today’s Business With Impact Podcast episode, I'm going to share with you the most important decision I made in my business that changed everything: asking for help.

I want to share some behind the scenes of what happened and three ways to help you decide what your business needs. Because if you've got a big heart to serve others and you're ready to step into that purpose, but you're having trouble getting in front of those people...That can change starting now.

One of the questions I get asked all of the time is, “how do I decide what to invest in and when to invest in my business?

It can feel like a lot. Am I right? And so if you've been asking this question (and it's a good question to ask for your business), this episode is for you!

Today on the Business With Impact Podcast, I'm going to share the three questions I always ask before making any business investment decisions!

Today on the Business With Impact Podcast we're talking all about how to build an audience... 

And more importantly... how NOT to build an audience. I'm sharing the WORST strategy I heard recently, and what I'm recommend instead. 

Now it may not be the "popular" opinion -- but it is the profitable one! 

If you're not in our Accelerate Your Success Community, come find us at rachelmcmichael.com/accelerate.

Last week in our Accelerate Your Success Facebook group, my friend and coach, James Wedmore, came and shared his thoughts on sales, niching down, on marketing, and on success. And in today's Business With Impact podcast episode, I wanted to share a clip from that conversation that we had.

Today's episode is a short one, but I know you're going to get a lot of value from it!

Today on the Business With Impact I want to talk about this thing that we call success.

Why is it that some people seem to accomplish so much in their day? That it looks like they're checking every box off of their well-designed to do list? While others who have the same big plans, the same grand vision, and strong work ethic but at the end of the day, they are left feeling like they really didn't get much done?

If you could fully tap into your vision, and your mission, and your potential, what would that look like for you? What would that change for your business, for your family? How would life change if you were able to be more productive, if you were able to hit your goals consistently?

We’re going to talk about all of that and more today...so let’s dive in!

Why is it that some coaches and course creators can sell out their offers in a matter of minutes, while others struggle for months or even years to get their first paying customer? What is it that they've figured out that others haven't?

Today on the Business With Impact podcast, I’m going to share the three things that every online business that’s crushing it has in place.

And if you’re not getting the leads or sales that you want - then you’re probably missing one of these things. Let’s dive in!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast, I’m excited to introduce you to The eMyth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber.

The eMyth Revisited is a must-read for anyone who is even remotely considering starting a business. Michael Gerber writes this book in a narrative form. And because it’s written as a narrative, Michael can say what he really thinks - without being too harsh to the reader. He’s candid and inspiring at the same time. 

If you’re looking for a list of all of my favorite books for online business owners, head to rachelmcmichael.com/books for a full listing of all of the books I recommend.

Today on the Business With Impact podcast I'm excited to share some of the biggest lessons I learned at a recent mastermind retreat I was at in Sedona, Arizona!

Even after being in business as long as I have, it still amazes me how much I can still learn at these events and then take back and implement into my business. I’m sure you’ve heard it said before, “the more you know, the more you realize how much you don’t know!”

And so I wanted to share with you all today a few of these lessons that I learned while I was there! I’m confident that what I learned will also help many of you in your businesses as well. Let’s dive in!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast, I’m excited to introduce you to Hal Moore on Leadership by Harold G. Moore and Mike Guardia.

Even though this book isn’t a traditional business book, the lessons and teachings about practical leadership are something that every business owner will want to hear. I love the way it’s written with a story and personal account of his (sometimes) life-or-death leadership in the military, followed by the lesson he learned from each life experience. 

And if you’re looking for a list of all of my favorite books for online business owners, head to rachelmcmichael.com/books for a full listing of all of the books I recommend. In this post, I’m sharing my favorites for leadership, mindset, team building, productivity, audience and traffic growth, content creation, sales, and money.

If your funnel isn’t converting, it’s not because your audience is too small or your content isn’t “good enough”? In this episode, Rachel uncovers the real reasons your funnel is stalling – and the exact steps to fix it. Spoiler: It’s not about scrapping everything. It’s about tweaking and refining what’s already there.

What to listen for:

• The real definition of a funnel (hint: it’s not just a landing page and a freebie)
• Why “set it and forget it” funnels aren't the goal
• The dangers of funnel hacking without full context
• 3 conversion-killing mistakes (and how to fix them)
• Why ghosting your leads is the fastest way to lose a sale
• How “mysterious offers” are quietly killing your conversions
• The surprising way your freebie could be attracting the wrong audience
• The essential funnel ingredients most people are missing
• Why your landing page might not be the problem (but your messaging is)
• A simple self-audit checklist to troubleshoot your funnel today

Funnels don’t need to be burned down. They just need refining. Whether your funnel is falling flat at the landing page, the email sequence, or the sales page, this episode gives you the clarity to fix what’s not working – without starting from scratch.
