| #273 The Wrong Way to Set Goals for Your Online Business | 22 Oct 2024 | 00:14:18 | |
On today’s episode of the Business With Impact podcast, we're talking about priority-based living and why it’s so important when it comes to goal setting.
You see, there’s a problem with traditional goal setting.
Oftentimes, we set goals for our business, and what do we do? We start to dream and we pick some numbers (really, if we're being honest, out of thin air) based on what we wish and we immediately attach a whole lot of meaning to a number that we arbitrarily picked because someone told us that's what we needed to do…
I have a problem with that.

| #272 Is This the One Thing Keeping You from Seeing Success in Your Business? with Guest Expert: Brad Bizjack | 15 Oct 2024 | 00:35:12 | |
I remember the very first time that I started a group coaching program and the first six weeks were focused exclusively on mindset.
I'll never forget emailing the coach and asking, “Can we please just fast forward to the good stuff?” Because all I wanted was the strategy, the system, the step by step process.
Little did I know that those first six weeks would build a foundation that would then allow me to scale my business to six figures, and eventually, beyond that.
Today I'm so excited to introduce you to Brad Bizjack! He is the king of helping people rewire their brains, change their thoughts, and really focus on any hidden beliefs that come up for online business owners–the things that are unknowingly stopping us from taking the action we need to take to get the results we want to get.

| #263 How Understanding Your Cycle Can Help Improve Your Online Business with Guest Expert: Renae Fieck | 06 Aug 2024 | 00:24:15 | |
On today’s episode, I am really excited to introduce you to my friend, Renae Fieck!
If you've ever focused on trying to be consistent by doing things like staying up late or getting up early, just forcing yourself to be productive, even when it doesn't feel authentic. Or maybe you've even found yourself thinking things like, “the harder I work, the more success I’ll see.”
In today's episode, Renae is going to take everything you thought you knew about the old way of working and turn it upside down. We're talking all about how if you want to hit your goals as a female entrepreneur, then leveraging your cycle can help you get more done in less time and have more time off without dropping the ball.
Because when we start syncing with our body's natural rhythms, we get to have time for both life and business. We get to take more time off knowing it's going to make us more effective. And these periods of rest actually become the key that unlocks true productivity.
I can’t wait for you to learn all about how Renae has mastered this in her own life and business and how you can too!

On today’s episode, I am really excited to introduce you to Michelle Lake!
Michelle coaches endurance athletes and I had the honor of meeting Michelle in-person just over a year ago. One of the things that impressed me the most about Michelle is that she is so good at speaking to her ideal client on social media.

| #259 How To Create Momentum in Your Online Business with Guest Expert: Kristen Van Horn | 09 Jul 2024 | 00:24:43 | |
On today’s episode, I am thrilled to be talking with my friend, my Magnify Your Content™ business partner, my colleague, AND my client, Kristen Van Horn!
Kristen is the best at all things productivity, time management, and content creation on top of being a great mom, a great wife, and a great business owner! She wears all the hats and wears them so well.
Today we’re focusing on momentum… and the most important key ingredient for momentum… consistency!
If consistency has been a struggle for you - good news - consistency for the busy business owner is just a habit, much like any other habit, that needs to be figured out day to day. Because if you’re not showing up consistently, then you can’t serve your clients or potential clients well.
It’s all about changing your mindset around what consistency looks like for you and then finding a system that works well for your business.

Today on the Business With Impact podcast we’re’ going to talk about investing in your business!
How do you know when to invest and when not to invest?
When I'm trying to make an investment in my business, whether it's a laptop or whether it's knowing if I should invest in a program, I go through a framework, a series of three questions.
I want to walk you through those questions and I want to encourage you to take notes because this is going to make a difference for you and your business as you're trying to make investments and as you're trying to see if these investments are wise, worthy, and if they’re something that makes sense. --- Links mentioned in this episode: → Join Business by Design with Rachel’s Epic Bonus HERE → Download some awesome secret podcast episodes with James and Rachel HERE! → Follow Rachel on Instagram: @rachelrmcmichael | |||
| #255 Success in Online Business Without All the Hustle | 11 Jun 2024 | 00:12:48 | |
Today on the Business With Impact podcast 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… so much 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, at the end of the day 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?

| #252 How to Create Predictability in Your Business | 21 May 2024 | 00:11:45 | |
Have you ever been told that in order to have predictability in your business and with your income, you have to have a recurring revenue stream?
Well on today’s Business With Impact episode, I’m going to bust that myth right out of the water!
This is by far one of my favorite topics to discuss! But I have to warn you… predictability in our business doesn't come from some of those really fancy, exciting new marketing strategies that you’ll see all over your social media feeds... Predictability in our business comes from understanding our numbers.

| #251 Mindset Shifts That Will Double Your Revenue | 14 May 2024 | 00:20:04 | |
Today on the Business With Impact podcast, we're talking about one of my favorite topics.
MINDSET.
But if you would’ve asked me several years ago if this is one of my favorite topics… I would have laughed at you, rolled my eyes, and groaned inwardly. I thought that business really can't just be about mindset.
But you know what I’ve learned? That MINDSET is absolutely one of the main things that separates a hustling overwhelmed entrepreneur from an Impactful CEO.
And while there is absolutely action and strategy that must take place in order for you to go where you need to go, and do what you need to do in your online business, the thing that will have you actually taking those actions and putting yourself out there is a strong mindset.

| #250 The Solution To Feeling Like A “Broken Record” In Your Content | 07 May 2024 | 00:07:39 | |
If you’ve been in business for any amount of time, chances are you may have felt like you’re talking about the SAME thing… over, and over, and over again.
So what do you do if you feel like a broken record? How can you keep excited about what seems to be the same topics time and time again?
And what do you do if you’re feeling like there’s nothing new to say (or worse - what if it’s been keeping you from being consistent)?
Believe it or not, this is such a normal thing for online business owners to feel.
Get ready for some tough love about why it’s important to keep doing the same things over and over again. And what to do when it feels BORING!

| #249 When to Ask for Help in Your Online Business? | 30 Apr 2024 | 00:22:49 | |
Have you ever noticed that some people seem like overnight successes? It feels like they just started their business yesterday and now they've hit a big milestone or a big goal, while others seem to struggle through it for years without much to show for it.
Why is that? 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.

| #248 The Difference Between Revenue and Profit | 23 Apr 2024 | 00:19:22 | |
Revenue seems to get a lot of attention in the online space. We hear about $10K months and we hear about seven figure success…
But what doesn't seem to get a lot of attention is the thing that we actually care about the most in our online business… And that is how much of that revenue stays in our bank account as PROFIT.
On today's episode, that's exactly what we're going to talk about. What’s the difference between the two and does it really matter?

| #246 Redefining Launching for Your Business | 09 Apr 2024 | 00:15:20 | |
You've probably heard me say at some point that you are one well-executed launch strategy away from your business breakthrough.
But what do I mean when I say “launch”? How are we defining “launching”? What is that big, fancy word? If we're not talking about rocket ships, what are we setting in motion?
We know that launching is such an important part of your business because if you’re not launching, then you’re not selling. And so when we’re speaking about launching, we’re speaking specifically about the sales mechanism that you select in and for your business.

| #243 Best Of: Leaving a Legacy with Heather Schisler | 01 Aug 2023 | 00:16:57 | |
Today’s episode is a replay of an episode we released back in 2019 with my friend and fellow entrepreneur Heather Schishler. Last weekend, Heather tragically passed away after courageously battling cancer. The best way for me to honor her memory and her legacy is to bless you with her encouraging words about life and business. Those who knew Heather know that she was always that inspiration for moms in online business. That ray of light who, when she walked into the room, she made everyone there feel so seen and so special. Her legacy will continue to live on through her family and through passionforsavings.com. And as I re-listened to today’s episode, I re-discovered so many lessons about consistency, faithfulness, team building, leadership, and more. I hope Heather's words will encourage and inspire you as much as they've encouraged me today.

We’re going to talk about how to look at your data, make some tweaks, and help you get results. Spoiler alert: More work doesn't always mean more revenue. Let’s focus on smart scaling instead! Let’s dive in! >> At 2:19, I explain why it’s important to ask yourself if there’s a simpler solution rather than creating something completely new in your business. >> At 6:24, we walk through the pros of deleting, systemizing, automating, and delegating.

| #228 What to Work On Each Day For Maximum Growth In Your Online Business | 07 Mar 2023 | 00:16:00 | |
In today's episode, I'm breaking down step by step, what to work on and when in your online business. This episode is a message that I think all entrepreneurs should know. So let's start with a quick question: What's your time worth? No, you don't have to DM me with an exact number, but you can if you want to. (My handle's @rachelrmcmichael on Instagram). But I'm willing to bet that number would be pretty high… especially if we were valuing your time at where you want your business to be, even in the next six months or a year. Especially as an entrepreneur, right? As an entrepreneur, our time is our most precious resource. It's our most valuable asset. Which means every second that we spend unclear in our business can mean another dollar from our pocket and another potential client who doesn't get the help that we know that we can provide. But that doesn't need to happen to you. There are steps that you can take to start creating major results in your business right now, and all you need to do is start taking small, simple actions that will help you get there. So if you've ever asked the question: “What do I work on first?” Or “What do I do next?” Or “How do I decide I've got so many things on my to-do list? How do I even prioritize it?” Then this episode is for you. Ready to learn more?

| #227 Creating an Offer That's Worth 10x The Price | 28 Feb 2023 | 00:10:26 | |
What would your business look like if you were able to double your results? Or even completely fill your program or 1:1 slots? In order to answer that question… you have to have one thing crystal clear: Confidence that your offer is EXACTLY what someone out there needs. In fact, they’re probably looking for you as you’re listening to this episode right now. Are you clear on the results and value that you can bring to your clients and customers? Chances are you’ve created a program that gets results. And if you’re still struggling with getting sign-ups and consistent sales, then you’re probably struggling with the exact same thing that most do… and that’s how to clearly communicate the value of your offer in a way that makes your ideal customers want to take action NOW… And that can cause one of two things to happen: Either you try to overcompensate by offering everything (and the kitchen sink) to your clients (which can leave YOU feeling resentful)… or your potential clients are confused… and we all know a confused buyer doesn’t buy. And the problem is… no matter which one of these you struggle with - both lead to a cycle of questioning your offer, your business, or even yourself. It’s a story that’s all too common, but that story doesn’t have to be yours. In today’s episode, I want to walk you through a quick tip we give our Academy 12-Month Group Coaching Clients on how they create a “Magnetic Yes” offer that’s worth 10x what they charge… Ready to learn more?
