ANECDOTE

Doubling Revenue by Changing Environment

Nicole Laino joined a program that nearly doubled her revenue without learning many new things.
Being in the energy of the right environment activated her to implement ideas she had been sitting on.

Energy Activates Strategy

Energy activates strategy, which alone isn't enough to create movement.
People often buy programs but don't act because they lack energetic activation.

ADVICE

Choose Your Circle Wisely

What if the biggest shift in your business had nothing to do with learning something new—but everything to do with where and with whom you’re learning? In this episode, Nicole explores how the energy of your environment can accelerate growth more than strategy alone. Whether you're in a coaching program, a mastermind, or simply navigating business on your own, this conversation uncovers how proximity to the right people can be the spark you didn’t know you needed.

You’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories about how Nicole nearly doubled her revenue—not by overhauling her systems, but by stepping into the right room. She also shares powerful examples from clients whose energy shifted just by entering a new container, leading to results they hadn’t seen before.

But this isn’t about chasing hype or selling you on the idea that proximity is a cure-all. Nicole gets real about the misconceptions around this concept and explains why strategy still matters—just not in isolation. This episode is an honest look at what actually moves the needle when both your energy and systems are aligned.

If you’re feeling stuck, uninspired, or wondering what’s missing, this might be the perspective shift you’ve been looking for.
