Leveraged

Most businesses start the same way: one person doing everything. But not every founder becomes an entrepreneur. In this episode of Leveraged, Demi breaks down the critical difference between being a solopreneur and becoming a true entrepreneur, and why so many business owners unknowingly stay stuck doing everything themselves. She introduces the concept of the "pain line" — the moment where your business, health, relationships, or time begin to break down because everything depends on you. At that point, you have a decision to make: Stay small to avoid the discomfort… or restructure your business so it can actually scale beyond you. Demi shares the exact audits she's been doing inside her own companies over the past 60 days and the shifts happening inside Retention Ready and Savage Solutions as they double down on building businesses designed for scale. In this episode, you'll learn: • The real difference between growing revenue and scaling a business • Why many founders unconsciously choose to stay solopreneurs • How to identify the clients you actually help best • Where your time should truly be spent as a founder • What you should own, delegate, automate, or eliminate Whether you're a coach, consultant, practice owner, or service-based entrepreneur, this episode will challenge how you think about growth. Because the real question isn't whether you can grow. It's whether you're willing to build something bigger than just you.

If Instagram disappeared tomorrow, could you still sign clients? If not, you're building a fragile business. In this episode, I'm teaching you how to generate leads offline using real-life strategies that work in any city, for any service — from fitness coaching to med spas.

This one's for the spa owners, salon founders, and wellness professionals who are fully booked but still financially stuck. Whether you run a hormone clinic, med spa, or healing studio — this episode walks you through the five-part framework I use to scale service businesses into multi-6-figure brands. And yes, I've helped scale a brick-and-mortar gym into six locations, plus consulted for dozens of local brands — so this isn't theory. It's what works.

If you're only focused on getting new clients, you're leaving money on the table. Retention is the most underrated (and profitable) skill in coaching — and it's one we systemize inside BSTCA. In this episode, I'm breaking down the retention frameworks that help our coaches re-sign 80%+ of their clients, create predictable MRR, and build brands that don't rely on constantly chasing the next sale. What You'll Learn: The 3 R's of retention: Results, Relationship, and Re-sign runway What coaches get wrong when trying to "support" clients How onboarding, feedback loops, and mid-program pivots boost re-sign rates The exact timing and strategy we teach for pitching renewals Need help with retention?

Now, you want to get your own business off the ground and really create a strong name for yourself as an online coach, right? Something has to give. You have to niche down.  If you want to hear about how being a master of none nearly tanked my friend's coaching biz as a cautionary tale + how he rerouted, this episode of my podcast is exactly the come-to-Jesus you might need.

When I tell you that I am the *go-to* mentor to help you build your coaching business at the worst possible time, here's your proof.   I built my $1 million dollar business in less than 5 years. When I launched my business, I worked 80-hour weeks. I had 9 W2s + 2 1099s, employed/contracted by 11 different companies.   Looking back at it, was this really the best time? Probably not. Would I go back and change it? DEFINITELY not. If I had waited for this mythical creature called "the right time", who knows where I would have been today.   Tune in to this episode of BS: The Podcast if you want to know how I work with people at the worst possible time to start + successfully build their online coaching business.

With the ever-changing landscape of social media marketing, it's hard to understand what metrics will actually help you grow your business. So what would more followers do for you?  I invited my friend FitLittleMeg on BS: the podcast™ this week to discuss how she completely abandoned her IG account with 10's of thousands of followers and started fresh… from 0. Tune in to find out why you would ever do such a thing.

On this episode of Becoming Savage: The Podcast, we're talkin' to Cole McMullen, a lifestyle and bodybuilding coach who has a roster of 100+ clients who get amazing results. Cole has more transformations than most coaches get in a decade. His rise from side-hustle coaching to multi-6 figures I'm sure has you asking yourself, "What's his secret?" It comes down to: ☑️Elite coaching framework, systems, and delivery ☑️Clear client expectations with zero tolerance for breaking them ☑️Being really freaking good at getting client results ☑️Not signing "bad fit" clients out of scarcity  

My coach for the last several years, Drew McNeill, has a completely dormant instagram account for 365+ days and still made 6-figures as an *online* coach. How did he do it? I'm sure you're maybe assuming that he is just a single guy with no need for money, but that's not the case at all – during that year, he + his wife welcomed their first child. Talk about expensive. If your jaw is still on the floor about how he did this, it's time to pick up your jaw and head over to this week's episode of BS: the podcast™ where he spills all his secrets.

Have you ever called yourself a "people pleaser"? Have you ever caught yourself getting worried that a non-responsive client was going to drop/cancel? Have you ever thought to yourself "maybe if they just liked me more, they would've said yes on the sales call"? I'm willing to guess the answer is yes. Which is why I recorded this podcast episode for you. I linked up with my friend Chelsea Tansey (@chelseatansey) to walk you through the reality of people pleasing in the coaching industry and how getting people to LIKE you is a fast-fail strategy to tank your biz.

This week we're talkin' under-the-radar with a massively successful political operative and media, marketing, and ad strategist about creating a personal brand, the importance of standing for something, and the need to understand and target the right audience. This week, BECOMING SAVAGE: the podcast ™ is getting SAVAGE AF.

Sales = sourcing, nurturing, and selling your offer Fulfillment = actually coaching your clients and getting them results Which one do I think is inherently more challenging? On this week's episode of Becoming Savage: The Podcast, I'm talking about how sales = prerequisite for fulfillment. It's the first step of online coaching.  Sales is saying, "Can I help this person?" and then you help them. As always, shoot me a message on IG @demiyeager with your feedback from the episode -- I'd love to hear from you.  

You've heard me drone on about not equating followers with dollars. So when does followers = dollars? In this week's episode of Becoming Savage: The Podcast, we're talking with Maddie Smith, a successful online entrepreneur who transitioned from a traditional corporate job into building a multi-faceted personal brand around travel, lifestyle, and social media. We dive deep into influencing and exactly how much goes into the content creation process. When Meta ripped the rug out from Maddie's original brand, she rebranded and built back up to her current 200K followers 🤯 As always, shoot me a message on IG @demiyeager with your feedback from the episode -- I'd love to hear from you.
