| From $800 Months to a $20K Month in 9 Months: How Emma Scaled Her Ads Management Business | 20 Oct 2026 | 00:38:28 | |
Welcome, welcome, welcome, y'all. These are my favorite episodes. It's not me jabbering on about something you should do in your business. It's the real story of someone who is out there doing the dang thing. Meet Emma. She's a Brit living in Florida, a mom of two little girls, and a former child protection manager who had zero marketing background when she started running ads. Back in December, she got on a call with me and opened with, "I don't think I'm ready." She had one paying client and about $800 a month coming in. Nine months later, she booked a $20,000 month and has a waiting list of clients with deposits paid and contracts signed. We get into exactly how that happened, the hard season she walked through along the way, and what she'd say to you if you're sitting on the fence right now. In this episode, you'll learn:

| Black Friday Marketing Strategy for Service Providers: What to Do With Your Clients Right Now with Andy Franco | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:48:39 | |
If your Black Friday plan starts on November 1st, you're already behind. And so are your clients. Every year I watch it happen. Clients wait until November, everything gets rushed, and things aren't done well because nobody planned for it. Or worse, they skip it entirely because they think Black Friday is only for e-commerce. That couldn't be further from the truth. So I brought on Andy Franco, one of our Strategist Society members, who has been in digital marketing for 23-plus years and has clients who make 30% of their yearly revenue in November. We are total marketing nerds in this one, y'all, and it's one of our longer episodes for a reason. In this episode, you'll learn:

Ready to scale past $10K months? Andy ran his agency for 11 years on 100% referrals, and he'll tell you himself it was feast or famine. Strategist Society is where he finally started marketing his own business with the same energy he gives his clients.

| The 10 Most Downloaded Episodes of All Time (and the 4 Lessons They All Teach) | 29 Sep 2026 | 00:35:46 | |
Out of 300 episodes of this podcast, the number-one most downloaded episode of all time has nothing to do with running ads. It has nothing to do with landing clients. And honestly, y’all, when I pulled the numbers, it surprised me a little. This is episode 300. Holy bananas. Seven years, 300 episodes, and I’m a little emotional about it. So to celebrate, Janessa pulled the 10 most downloaded episodes of all time, and I’m counting them down from 10 to 1 with the biggest lessons from each one in about two minutes. Some of these I recorded five or six years ago, so I’ll tell you what’s changed since then (LinkedIn has doubled, we switched from Dubsado to HoneyBook, AI exists now) and what hasn’t. And stick around for the end, because when I laid all 10 side by side, they’re teaching the same four lessons over and over. Think of this as the greatest hits. In this episode, you’ll learn:

| What to Charge as a New Ad Manager: The Real Numbers (No Guessing, No Working for Free) | 15 Sep 2026 | 00:20:50 | |
Someone popped into Brandi’s inbox this morning and asked, “What’s the biggest mistake beginners make when they’re trying to get their first client?” The answer: working for free or undercharging, because you think a low price is what finally gets somebody to say yes. It isn’t. It’s the exact thing keeping you from getting hired. In this episode, Brandi gives you real numbers, no guessing, no “whatever you think she’ll say yes to.” In this episode, you’ll learn:

Katie's best month ever as a social media manager was $10,000. It took 40 hours a week, posting six days a week at specific times for each client, and it almost never happened twice. Then her clients started cutting costs, and she started getting let go. "It's nothing you did." If that sentence has ever landed in your inbox, y'all, this episode is your sign. Six months into Strategist Society, Katie has eight ad clients, works about 15 hours a week, and is on track for over $12,000 in September.

Have you ever wondered how long it actually takes to run a freelance ad management business? Maybe you already have one and you are working your little booty off, opening your bank account thinking, “Holy bananas, I am not making enough money for how much I am working.” Maybe you are making good money and feel weird because you are not working enough, so you start inventing work.

Not “it depends.” Real hours, broken down by stage, plus where those hours belong so you stop pouring time into things that have never landed anyone a client. In this episode, you will learn:

| She Made $65K in 2 Hours a Day (With a Full-Time Job) | Student Spotlight with Michael Singletary | 18 Aug 2026 | 00:36:07 | |
Michael made $65,000 last year working 15 to 20 hours a week, after she clocked out of her full-time job. She is not quitting that job. The benefits are good, she loves the work, and I have never once told her she should leave. What she built is a full-time income on part-time hours, and she did it with an ugly proposal and five marketing minutes a day. In this Student Spotlight, Michael walks through the whole thing: the "expensive jobby" she was running before she learned ads, the exact 45-day mark when clients started booking, the two-hour order of operations she runs every weeknight, and the moment she realized she was underpricing because she kept telling herself "this isn't my money." If you have been using your job as the reason you cannot start, y'all, this episode takes that excuse right off the table. In this episode, you'll learn:

You are not doing too little. You’re doing too little of the right things. I work one-on-one with 60 people a week inside Strategist Society, I’ve got over 1,000 people in Conversions For Clients, and across seven years I’ve worked with more than 3,000 freelancers. Same thread every single time: the to-do list is a mile long and most of it doesn’t matter. The online space is loud. Post daily, be on LinkedIn, no wait, Threads, no wait, Facebook Groups are dead, no wait, they’re not. Holy bananas, is it noisy. So in this episode I’m cutting through all of it. Three things. That’s the whole list. If it’s not one of these three, mark it off. In this episode, you’ll learn:

| Services Are the Fastest Path to Cash (Samantha’s $500 to $80K Story) | 21 Jul 2026 | 00:33:26 | |
Let me say it loud for the people in the back. Services are the fastest path to cash, and they always will be. I will die on that hill. In this episode, I sit down with Samantha Fine, a longtime student and Strategist Society member who has been through every phase of business. She started during the pandemic, shut it down for a dream job at Coca-Cola, got discriminated against for being a mom, had her second baby, and relaunched with one goal: pick her son up from kindergarten every single day. She spent most of 2024 chasing the passive income dream and made $500. Then she went all in on services and finished 2025 at nearly $80,000, all while working a full-time job for eight months of the year. This is the real math on services versus digital products, and the framework that scales it. In this episode, you’ll learn:

Eight years ago this month, I was sitting on my bathroom floor, five months postpartum, crying, googling "legit work from home jobs" so I could pay a bankruptcy attorney and still buy formula and diapers.

| £0 to £7,125 in 4 Months: After Lauren Started A Freelance Ad Management Business | 16 Jun 2026 | 00:34:46 | |
Y'all, this spotlight episode hit different. Lauren is a Conversions for Clients student who got made redundant in December and gave herself 3 months to make her ad management business work before she'd have to go back to corporate. By April, she was billing £6,125 with four clients, all from four completely different sources. No fancy website. No massive audience. No "wait until I'm ready" energy. Just decision, deadline, and doing the dang thing. In this episode, Lauren breaks down her exact numbers month by month, the four channels she used to find her first clients (none of them are Instagram, by the way), how she repackaged her offer to charge £3,000 for a foundational month plus £1,500/month retainer, and the mindset shift that took her from no self-belief to feeling invincible. If you've been sitting on the fence about starting your service business or you're scared the timing isn't right, this is your sign. In this episode, you'll learn:

| From 30+ Hourly Clients to ONE $12K Retainer: Mandy's Spotlight | 02 Jun 2026 | 00:24:03 | |
Working nights. Working weekends. Working into the cracks of your life. Tracking every minute for 30+ clients. Watching your effective rate drop every time you get faster at your job. If that is your current reality, this episode is the mirror you need. This week on Serve Scale Soar, I sit down with Mandy, a Canadian funnel designer and Strategist Society member, who pulled off one of my favorite kinds of transformations. She went from $10K hourly months (and full-on burnout) to one $12,000/month retainer client, a $19K best month, and a $130K year in 2025, all while working around 30 hours a week. Same brain. New container. We get into the exact moment it finally clicked for her at Strategist Summit Live, the boring (and consistent) Marketing Minutes strategy that landed her dream client out of a free Facebook Group, and the unexpected champagne client problem nobody warns you about when you finally get your time back. In this episode, you'll learn:

| The Hidden Page That's Killing Your Discovery Call Conversion Rate | 26 May 2026 | 00:17:32 | |
You could be the best closer in the world. You could have your offer dialed in. You could be saying all the right things on every discovery call. And you're still losing the client. Because the problem isn't the call. The problem is what's happening before the call. And 99% of service providers, even the ones charging $5K, $10K, $15K a month, are completely missing this one page that could change their entire conversion rate. In this episode, I'm breaking down what your post-schedule page is, why it works, and why your discovery call conversion rate isn't where it could be without it. In this episode, you'll learn:

In this student spotlight episode, I'm chatting with Natasha, a mom of two from Los Angeles who spent seven years in the online space doing branding, web design, and, most recently, Pinterest management. She was working hours upon hours for clients paying $775 to $997 a month and couldn't even see clear results from her efforts. Then she joined Conversions for Clients, landed two ad clients within two weeks at $1,000 each, and made her entire investment back before the 45-day mark. The best part? She went from not being able to track her time because she was always working to spending maybe 10 hours a month on her ad clients. Same money, fraction of the time. In this episode, we cover:
If you're a service provider spending way too many hours on organic content and not seeing the results you want for your clients, this episode is your sign that there's a better way.

| From $2,400 Social Media Manager to $9,800 Ad Manager: How One Mom Scaled Her Service Business While Getting Her Kids Off the Bus | 21 Apr 2026 | 00:28:52 | |
Y'all, this episode is proof that you can be a present mom AND have a thriving business. It's not either/or. It's AND. Laura found me in the most random way possible (let's just say it involved a Facebook mom group and me getting into it with a troll). When we first met, she was a social media manager running content for five businesses but only getting paid for two clients. She was maxed out at $2,400 a month with zero room to grow. Fast forward one year, and Laura just hit $9,800 in January. She's transitioned to ad management, she's landing local clients through networking, and she's doing it all while getting her kids off the bus and being present at home. In this episode, we're breaking down:
If you're a service provider who feels maxed out, burned out, or stuck at an income ceiling, Laura's story is going to light a fire under you.

How many discovery calls have you had in the last 90 days? If that number is low, your problem isn't your sales call. It's your leads.

What happens when a 14-year teacher gets fired and decides to bet on herself instead of going back to the classroom? She builds a $7K/month freelance ad management business in under a year while homeschooling her kids and working 25 hours a week. That's exactly what today's guest, Kendra, did. In this student spotlight, Kendra shares how she went from zero marketing experience to five clients, all in the educator niche, using nothing but Instagram cold DMs and daily consistency.

| How to Build a Referral Engine for Your Service Business (Without Making It Your Whole Strategy) | 31 Mar 2026 | 00:17:41 | |
The highest-converting leads you'll ever get aren't coming from Instagram or cold pitching. They're coming from someone your dream client already trusts. And y'all, most service providers are leaving that money on the table every single month. In this episode, I'm breaking down why referrals are one of the most powerful tools in your client acquisition strategy AND why they cannot be your only strategy. Because if referrals are your whole plan, you've handed the steering wheel of your business to someone else. Here's what we're covering:
If you've been coasting on referrals and hoping they keep coming, this episode is your wake-up call. And if you're ready to turn referrals into a real engine that complements your full client acquisition strategy, this one's for you. Resources mentioned:

| From $3K to $15K Months as a Meta Ads Manager and Mom of Four | Emily's Story | 24 Mar 2026 | 00:28:34 | |
What does it look like to go from working "the night shift," barely sleeping, charging $350 retainers, and pulling in $3K months to hitting nearly $15K in a single month while actually working LESS? That's exactly what happened for Emily, one of our Strategist Society members and a meta ads manager and mom of four in Texas. In this student spotlight episode, Emily shares her entire journey, from taking any client she could get and undercharging like crazy, to raising her prices, finding aligned clients, and building a business that actually fits her life. We're getting real about what it looks like to scale a service business as a mom, how the Standards of Excellence changed everything for her, why theme days are a game changer (especially if you have ADHD), and what happens when your biggest business problem becomes having TOO much free time. If you're a service provider sitting at $3K to $5K months, wondering how to break through to the next level, this episode is for you. In this episode, you'll hear:

| Not All Clients Are Created Equal: The Champagne Client Matrix | 17 Mar 2026 | 00:19:14 | |
What if the reason you're exhausted, underpaid, and starting to resent your business has nothing to do with your services or your strategy and everything to do with who you're working with? Y'all, today we're diving into the Champagne Client Matrix, one of the most eye-opening frameworks I teach inside my workshops and Strategist Society. After working with over 3,000 service providers, I've noticed that most of us are attracting the same four types of clients and depending on which ones fill your roster, you're either building toward your dream business or burning out fast. In this episode, I'm walking you through all four client types, how to audit your current roster honestly, and what it's actually costing you to keep the wrong clients around.

| How to Use Upwork to Land Premium Clients - With Ashley Kruse | 10 Mar 2026 | 00:21:59 | |
I've told people for years to stay off Upwork. I've literally never even logged into the platform. But today's guest, Strategist Society member Ashley Cruz, made me eat my words. Ashley signed her first high-ticket client on Upwork in just 15 days, and seven months later, she was completely waitlisted. Her cost per client? $45.

| 5 Daily Habits That Will Change Your Business (And Your Brain): The Standards of Excellence | 03 Mar 2026 | 00:28:21 | |
What if the thing standing between you and your best business year has nothing to do with your strategy, your niche, or your packages? What if it's five simple daily habits that take less than an hour total, and most service providers are skipping them completely? I ran a 30-day Standards of Excellence Challenge inside Strategist Society at the start of 2026, and y'all, the results completely blew my mind. Students went from zero clients to three clients in 30 days. Others booked their first VIP days. Some revived contracts they thought were dead in the water. And all of it came from five non-negotiable daily habits. I've been doing these habits for two years. I know the Strategist Society members who do them consistently get the best results. But this was the first time we'd ever run a 30-day challenge around them, and now I'm taking you behind the scenes so you can implement them too. These are the Standards of Excellence, and today I'm breaking down all five. In this episode:

| From Corporate Layoff to $226K: How LaShall Built a Thriving Service Business After 50 | 24 Feb 2026 | 00:33:17 | |
What happens when you lose your six-figure corporate job at 50 and decide to build a business from scratch instead of updating your resume? In this student spotlight, I'm sitting down with LaShall Dodson, who launched Dedicated Virtual Professional Services in March 2024 after a merger acquisition eliminated her Fortune 500 position. In her first year, she made $34,000. By the end of year two? $226,000. LaShall breaks a LOT of the Brandi rules (she doesn't niche down, she runs a full agency with a team of six, and she manages her clients with manila folders), but she's proof that there's more than one way to build a wildly successful service business. In this episode, we're talking about:
Whether you're transitioning from corporate, in your first year of business, or trying to break through to consistent $20K+ months, LaShall's story is going to fire you up. Resources & Links:

| How to Build a Six-Figure Service Business with a Small Audience | 17 Feb 2026 | 00:32:35 | |
You know what no one tells you about scaling to multiple six figures? I did it with 400 Instagram followers and a hundred people on my email list. When I hit $1.2 million in one year, I had 4,000 followers on Instagram. Not 40,000. Not 400,000. Just 4,000. My email list was about 8,000 at the time, and we didn't even have a website. If you've been spinning your wheels trying to grow your Instagram following because you think that's what's gonna get you clients, this is about to set you free from the content hamster wheel. Here's the truth that the online business world doesn't want you to hear: You don't need a huge audience to build a thriving business. You need the right relationships with the right people.

| The Imposter Syndrome No One Talks About When Scaling to Premium Clients (And How to Work Through It Anyway) | 10 Feb 2026 | 00:22:34 | |
Here's something no one tells you about scaling a service-based business: imposter syndrome doesn't go away when you get better clients. It actually gets worse. When you're just starting out, you're wondering if you're good enough at your skill. But when you start going after premium clients? Now you're wondering who the heck you are to work with someone more successful than you. That little mean girl voice in your head will tell you every possible stinking reason why you're not qualified, why you should lower your price, why you should stay in your lane, why you're not prepared or ready enough to take on that client. Today I'm gonna show you how to take that mean girl voice and tell her to get the heck outta Dodge. Because you are more ready than you think, and the only way you're gonna be able to move into working with better clients is if we fix how we think about ourselves.

| The 5 Services AI Will Replace in 2026 (And How to Pivot Your Business Now) | 20 Jan 2026 | 00:24:45 | |
Look, I'm not here to sugarcoat this for you. AI is replacing service providers left and right in 2026, and if you're offering one of these five services, you could be next. But before you panic and think this is some doom-and-gloom situation, let me be clear: I'm not here to fear-monger. I'm here to give you a wake-up call so you can pivot NOW instead of getting to the end of 2026 frustrated with your lack of clients, lack of growth, and wondering if you should have even started this business in the first place. After working with over 3,000 service providers, I've seen this shift happening in real time. I've watched podcast managers get replaced. I've seen copywriters who used to charge $20,000 now struggling to land $2,000 clients. I've watched VAs lose their entire roster because clients figured out ChatGPT can do 80% of what they were paying them for. The industry is changing, y'all. And we need to change with it. Here's what we're covering today: the five services getting hit the hardest by AI, real examples of how this is playing out right now, and most importantly, the exact pivot you need to make to stay relevant and charge premium prices. This might sting a little, but I promise I'm giving you a path forward—not just telling you the sky is falling.

Here's what's about to happen in 2026: While you're over here listing out deliverables and making yourself sound like a Jill of all trades, your competitor just positioned herself as a growth partner and landed a $10K retainer client. Or they niched down so specifically on the one service they're incredible at that they're charging $4,000-$5,000 per client. The words "service provider," "virtual assistant," and "freelancer" are about to become a liability in your business. And if you don't make this pivot, you're going to be stuck competing on price while everyone else charges premium rates. Today, I'm breaking down the biggest shift I'm seeing in our industry and exactly how you can position yourself as a premium growth partner instead of a replaceable task doer.
