Running a business shouldn’t feel like a grind—or rely only on referrals and networking events. In this episode, I share the four lead generation strategies I teach inside the Aligned AF Community that help midlife women entrepreneurs attract clients consistently without burning out:

✅ Short-form content that builds visibility
✅ Long-form content that nurtures trust
✅ Communities & collaborations that expand your reach
✅ Ads that work while you rest

I also talk about lessons from my summer abroad as a digital nomad-in-training, and why the last 100 days of 2025 are the perfect time to get serious about your lead generation plan.

✨ If you’re ready to design a business that supports your life—and not the other way around—this episode is for you.

Starting my business and leaving my corporate job was a great decision for me at that point in my life and career.

I had spent over 27 years in corporate, successfully leading teams, strategizing, and spearheading significant turnaround stories with prominent brands.

I was in the middle of my life, somewhat healthy but not living a healthy lifestyle.

I had a decent retirement plan in place and low debt. These established benefits supported me while my business was getting set up.

So, trading in my executive career for the path of entrepreneurship seemed like the next logical step.

Has it been easy?

Heck no!

Here are 5 Things I Didn’t Anticipate:

1️⃣ My stress levels went up, rather than down.

2️⃣ Betting on myself had huge payoffs and risks.

3️⃣ My boundaries shifted.

4️⃣ Freedom is a rush.

5️⃣ FUN with a capital 'F.'

The hard truth is that your lifestyle will change when you work for yourself, but it's hard to know exactly how those changes will manifest.

I'm sharing three pre-marketing strategies you need to do prior to launching your group program:

1. Nurture your community

2. Show your work & tease

3. Create a waitlist

You can do all of these steps before you have a completed product or offer to sell...and even before you know what the final product or offer is.

This week's episode of The X is ideal for online business owners, entrepreneurs and product developers (online or physical products), or even those professionals that haven't left their corporate gig and not sure where to start their entrepreneurial journey - I've got you!

I'm going behind the scenes to capture all the details of launching your group program inside the Aligned AF Community in November...so this episode is a great way to sample what I'm sharing.

This week on The X Podcast, I share my word for 2023. I haven't always been consistent with picking a word for the year. If it suits me I will. I remember back in 2018 my word was INCREDIBLE because I didn't want to respond when people asked me how I was doing to say, "I'm fine". Most days that year I wasn't fine. I was on my gap year, finalizing my divorce, transitioning my daughters to a new home, and unemployed. It was easy to default to being fine to escape how I was really feeling. I made a commitment to myself if I couldn't respond with "I'm feeling incredible" that I needed to do something that day for me to step into the feeling of being incredible. I skipped a few years and then came back to the word of the year in 2022. I chose UNLEASH and I keep using it in my business. Listen to this episode to learn my word for 2023. I'm curious what your word is. Leave me a reply on my IG page @itsbrendarigney.

This week on The X Podcast I am talking about 10 money beliefs I cultivate when I am scaling my business. I fundamentally believe the more money you have, the more fun you can have, and the more you can help people. Aspiring to have more money asks you to be more of who you genuinely are. You may think the opposite of that is true, that the pursuit of money makes us greedy. It forces us to treat other people terribly, and we shouldn’t ever try to achieve wealth, or we’ll hurt someone on our way there. These beliefs are quite pervasive, and people cling to their thoughts about money. However, we can all agree that money solves a lot of problems.  I love to look at these 10 money beliefs regularly in my life and business. I do this intentional work as I know from past episodes in my life that my money blockers will come up. Typically, when I am taking on something new in my business, even if I desired and masterminded it.  ------------------------------ Check out my end of year tools to help generate revenue in your business:⁠
