Transparency Behind Growth, Quantum Leaps, and Scaling at Any Level (Session 18 with Sabrina)
In Session 18 with Sabrina, we discuss what she’s doing with her 1:1 offers, balancing changes in her life with business, and filling team roles – basically, we used this session as a chance to hit the reset button and gain clarity around the challenges she’s facing in these areas. And surprise! We’re extending this season just a bit, so more calls with Sabrina to come! In this episode, you’ll hear: Adjusting to new normals in and out of business and the key mindset piece to hold onto as you manage challenges, no matter where you’re at in business Why Sabrina decides to table her 1:1 offer and what she’s focusing on instead from a holistic/zoomed out perspective The worst fear that seems to pop up when business owners experience audience growth and/or attention and a reminder for you around this so it doesn’t feel so intense Why I’m advising Sabrina to wait on launching, and the importance of having the right support Challenges that come with re-hiring someone for a role that didn’t work out in the past and considerations to make based on your needs and circumstances Wanting more “spice” in your business and how to deal with this feeling so that it doesn’t lead to burning everything to the ground “Quantum Leaping” and what is required to make those growth jumps without being miserable or burning out Episode Links Join my Facebook group Learn more about Sabrina on her website

In Session 17 with Sabrina, we discuss where her leads and sales are coming from, the returns she’s seeing on consistent investments, and considerations to make when pricing your offers. These are things we need to talk about at every level of business, so while the specifics of the conversation might look slightly different (i.e. her pricing strategy won’t necessarily apply to yours) but these concepts still apply and all lend themselves to continual growth and mind-blowing results in your business. In this episode, you’ll hear: How you can still have amazing results – even when things feel tough or sh*t hits the fan Knowing what’s working in your business and why it’s useful (and profitable) to lean in to leverage that for more opportunities One of the hardest parts of entrepreneurship and the mindset to adopt that will help you see the big payoffs down the road Showing up as the coach your clients need to empower them in their work, their boundaries, and the actions they take The surprising thing that sometimes has to happen when team shifts take place, but what to watch out for so the transition doesn’t lead to resentments The importance of knowing the intention behind your pricing and how to make sure you truly feel good about working within that container Episode Links Join my Facebook group Learn more about Sabrina on her website

Creating the optimal team and CEO experience (Close-Up with Lacey)
In this solo episode, we discuss the ways to create the most optimal team for your business. Because as a scaling business owner, your team is truly the backbone of everything you do and contributes to creating the best experience possible for you as the CEO. Without the right support, seeing the desired growth can feel even harder, causing resistance and resentment in a lot of other areas. In this episode, you’ll hear: One of the first things I tell clients to put into place when they start building their team (and constantly working on within my own business) that I think we tend to forget, but is crucial to both your happiness and theirs The problems that arise when you are the only one “holding the top of the puzzle box” for your team (Psst! This is super common for those trying to move from 6-figures to multiple 6-figures) Our company “rules” and culture at ALUL and the reasoning behind them so you can see why it’s crucial to create your own for a healthy, well-functioning environment for everyone The key factor to creating the kind of action you want to see from your team and making sure things roll the way you want them to in your business (and no, it’s not micromanaging!) How to apply the concept of “small things add up” to you and your team so you’re feeling supported and not using up time and energy that isn’t necessary for you to expend!

An Unrecorded Session & Tough Decisions
I requested for us not to record this session as there were some big things we needed to dive into. In this short solo episode, I share the reasoning behind that and the outcome of that conversation.

Tune in to hear more about this crucial juncture and conversation. In this episode, we share: What is involved in running a large business (and why having space to process the moving parts is crucial) The root of Sabrina’s launch resistance (and why this is so helpful for you to be aware of in your own business) One trap many high-achievers experience that can make you feel resistance in your business (and how to avoid it) What Sabrina proved to herself in making this tough decision (and why it’s everything for her mindset and self-trust) How to keep your business running smoothly without relying on your energy alone (whether you have a team or not) Episode Links Join my Facebook group Learn more about Sabrina on her website
