Summary

Rachel Rogers tells the story of Noah Kagan asking, “Why isn’t your business at $100 million yet?” She didn’t have a good answer. It’s a thought-provoking question and one I want to ponder (on a bit smaller scale), so I wrote a sticky note and stuck it on the wall above my desk. “Why aren’t we earning $1M?” It’s easy to blame the economy, the competition, or Mercury in Retrograde (whatever that means). It’s much harder to point the finger back at myself and ask, “Why aren’t we earning $1M yet?” One thing I’ve uncovered—or let’s call it RE-discovered—is that habits are what make or break you, both in business and in life. And I have more than a few bad habits holding me back. Maybe you do, too. Let’s figure out how to fix them. Prefer a transcript? Here you go! What you’ll learn in this episode: How to stop letting problems get in the way of finding a solution. Why we overthink things, and how to keep things simple instead. Why it’s almost never the right time to change tools or platforms. What to do if you find yourself sucked into a rabbit hole of mindless scrolling. Resources mentioned: Six-Figure Systems is my monthly program that turns those overwhelming projects into doable action steps so you can grow your business. Start for just $7 today. ConvertKit is my top choice for email platforms. This video offers one possible solution for list cleanup on ConverKit. Get the CLEAR Framework here. Three books I’m loving are The Big Leap, We Should All Be Millionaires, and Traffic Secrets.
