In this episode, Kelly breaks down how signature systems can transform your business into a scalable, high-authority brand that increases conversions, clarity, perceived value, and lifetime customer retention.

She shares examples of how her own signature systems and key frameworks have evolved into books, programs, agencies, trust-building offers, and multi-seven and eight-figure revenue channels.

I am approaching 2025 completely differently than I have any other year, and here's why:

It is time to change our misguided notions (which are often negative) about money and wealth. We are unaware of these negative perceptions surrounding money due to subconscious thought patterns, values, and beliefs systems. Sometimes this can work against what you consciously want to create in your business or life.

By using tools such as self-education, money empowerment, and personal growth, you can rewrite your money story, take control of your destiny, and ultimately accomplish your goals dreams.

In this episode, we are digging into:

• Becoming aware and learning how to combat the habits, traps, or people that keep you from completing your goals.
• Four essential steps to rewrite your money story, consciously make the decision to gain control of your money, and improve your life and bank account.
• Strategies to help you fully commit to to being a person capable of reaching the next level of growth - this is NOT an overnight process but something you can manage easier than you might think

By taking ownership of your decision to rewrite your money story, focusing on your whys, and visualizing your goals and aspirations every day, you will be that much closer to achieving your desired life and level of success. Remember success doesn't come to you, it comes from within you.

Emily Rose is a bestselling author ("Break your Bad Love Habits") and a breakup coach - her deepest desire is to help people hone in on their passion, remove distractions from their mission and grab life by the horns. If the distractions of unconscious relationships habits are stopping you from living a full life, this episode is for you.

Emily helps people to repair their relationships - but even bigger than that, she helps people to focus on their lives and their lives beyond being bound to old patterns (which is universal to us all as entrepreneurs!). Her clients are people who feel very grounded but not in a good way by their current relationships, and she helps them to look at the bigger picture of life and self-serving.

In this episode-

• How to "break up" with the day-to-day business tasks that are keeping you small and stagnant
• Ways to reframe the "shoulds" into "not yets"... and what that means + why it's important
• All things intuition - why we aren't using it, how to get tuned back in, and why you should be using it as a guidance in your life (and a bonus exercise from Emily!)

As humans, we're very good at distracting ourselves from what's MOST important to propel ourselves forward. Spending your time in the wrong places because you're avoiding something is one of the biggest killers of our success. Emily is here to help us break down those barriers, overcome obstacles, and create a life we love (with success to boot).

Mentioned in this episode:

Emily's advice: go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes, and tell yourself that you LOVE you!

Bill Watkins & Robert Mallon are two best friends who together have over 80 years of professional experience as entrepreneurs and coaches. For years, the two heard feedback from so many men looking to accelerate their business success without sacrificing other aspects of their lives. Bill & Robert then founded Rusty Lion Academy, a program for business owners from age 30-49 with unrealized potential and become present and successful.

Have you ever wondered just how you could balance it all and "have it all"? If so, Robert & Bill have the answer. The two have helped driven people achieve purpose along with professional success.

In this episode, Robert, Bill, and I are chatting about:

• The "ranking" assessment Bill & Robert have their tribe fill out and how to identify the key areas in your own life where you can improve
• How to feel "complete" - getting over our fear of change and getting out of our comfort zone to become multidimensional people
• Real talk about career pressure, why we ALL need to be having that conversation, and how to get out of that hole (even if you'res stuck)

As Bill says, the seed he and Robert want to plant with you today is the misbelief that you can find "balance" through working with them. Instead, they work with clients on finding the ebb and flow of life and moving through life in a fully present, prepared way.
