Six-Figure Mama Podcast

What if the difference between “nobody’s buying” and a fully booked offer isn’t your strategy but your willingness to keep going when it looks like nothing is working?In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what actually happened behind the scenes of selling my new Book Your Next 5 Clients Intensive. Because while I ended up booking 3 clients in one week, there were three uncomfortable weeks before that where my brain was convinced it wasn’t working and if I’d listened to it, those sales never would have happened.What You’ll Learn1. Why “nobody’s buying” can be the most misleading thought in businessIf you’ve ever felt tempted to scrap an offer, change your messaging, or assume something isn’t working because sales haven’t happened yet, this conversation may completely change how you think about momentum.2. What actually goes into selling high-ticket offers (that most people never talk about)Hint: it’s not posting more content, working longer hours, or finding the perfect marketing strategy. There’s a hidden piece of the sales process that can make or break your results.3. The mindset trap that almost took me out and shows up for high-achieving women at every level of businessWhether you’re trying to sign your first client or your next one, this pattern can quickly sabotage your sales, your confidence, and your ability to keep showing up when it matters most.If you’re tired of conflicting marketing advice and want a simple, customized strategy for booking your next clients, my Book Your Next 5 Clients Intensive was built for you.Together, we’ll look at your strengths, your business, your capacity as a busy mama, and create a marketing strategy that actually fits your life instead of competing with it.You can purchase your intensive or book a consultation through the links in the show notes.Episode Links:Book a FREE coaching consultation HEREBook Your Next 5 Clients Weeklong Intensive HEREJordan’s websiteConnect with Jordan on IG at Ilderton_Bookkeeping_Coaching This is a public episode.

This episode is deeply personal.As my oldest daughter’s school year ends, it also marks five years since I made one of the biggest pivots of my life, from bookkeeping to 1:1 coaching.Back then, I was coming out of survival mode. Three little girls. Lockdown life. A business that was technically “working” but wasn’t creating the freedom, income, or breathing room I needed.And then came what I now call my Six-Figure Switch Moment.The moment I decided my business wasn’t going to be “just enough.”In this episode, I’m sharing that story and then bringing you BTS into a real conversation with my own coach, Kim.Because after reaching my financial goals, creating a business I genuinely love, crossing $1.2M in lifetime cash, and building over 50 consecutive five-figure months...I still renewed my coaching partnership for the 11th time.Why?Because the biggest breakthroughs aren’t quick-fix strategy problems.They’re the blind spots you can’t see when you’re inside the jar.If you’ve ever wondered what long-term coaching actually looks like behind the scenes, or why successful business owners continue investing in support long after they’ve “made it”, this conversation is for you.In this episode, you’ll learn:* Why hitting your money goals doesn’t eliminate self-doubt, blind spots, or the need for support and what actually changes at the next level.* How to build the kind of self-trust that helps you navigate business changes, make confident decisions, and stop looking outside yourself for answers.* Why the next level of growth usually isn’t another strategy, it’s refining what’s already working and owning more of your YOU-ness.The businesses that scale most sustainably aren’t built by constantly adding more offers, more funnels, more content, or more complexity.They’re built by getting better at listening.Listening to your audience.Listening to your data.Listening to your business.Listening to yourself.The right coach doesn’t hand you a cookie-cutter strategy.They help you hear what your business has been trying to tell you all along and give you the confidence to trust yourself enough to act on it.Ready for Your Own Six-Figure Switch?I’m currently holding consults for upcoming 1:1 partnership spots in August.I keep a small roster and I’m discerning for fit just as much as you are.If you’re ready to stop guessing, own your YOU-ness, and build $10k-$50k months with a strategy that actually fits your life, book a consult through the link in the show notes.Episode Links:Book a FREE coaching consultation HEREBook Your Next 5 Clients Weeklong Intensive HEREJordan’s websiteConnect with Jordan on IG at Ilderton_Bookkeeping_CoachingCraving more of these deep conversations?

Most coaches online want to show you the shiny, glitzy wins, and the “freedom,” but almost no one talks honestly about what it actually takes to build a profitable multi-6-figure business that supports a family.In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the investments, trade-offs, support, and mindset shifts behind my $1.2M cash business built around my daughters’ schedules.I’m sharing numbers and behind-the-scenes details I’ve never publicly shared before. From the coaching investments and team support to the decisions that allowed me to create 50+ consecutive $10K-$23K months while working less than full-time.Because if your business results don’t match the life you want yet, there’s probably not a missing secret…there’s a missing level of support, strategy, or willingness to play the game differently.In This Episode You’ll Learn How To:* Stop romanticizing multi-6 figures and start understanding the real mechanics behind sustainable growth so you can make decisions based on reality—not shiny online marketing.* Identify the hidden bottlenecks keeping you stuck at low-ticket income levels and understand why protecting profit margins can actually keep you overworked and underpaid.* Shift from exhausted service provider to leveraged CEO by understanding how support systems, delegation, and high-ticket positioning create more freedom, not less.The biggest “secret” behind consistent $10K–$50K months isn’t luck, perfect timing, or hustling 24/7.It’s realizing your results make sense.And once you understand that, you stop waiting for a magic strategy and start building a business that can truly pay you.Episode Links:Book a FREE coaching consultation HEREBook Your Next 5 Clients Weeklong 1:1 Intensive HEREIG Post: I spent $18k in bad investments which could have been a full year of good 1:1 coaching!Jordan’s websiteConnect with Jordan on IG at Ilderton_Bookkeeping_Coaching This is a public episode.

You can be experienced, smart, and deeply qualified… and still wonder why clients aren’t saying yes. For YEARS, I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t booking clients either until I uncovered the hidden pattern that was affecting everything from my messaging to my sales energy.In this episode, I’m breaking down the shift that changed not only my client bookings, but ultimately helped me build a multi-6-figure business and cross the million-dollar mark in lifetime cash.In this episode, you’ll learn how to:* Spot the hidden mindset pattern that keeps qualified women stuck in inconsistent sales* Understand why expertise alone does not create client trust or buying momentum* Shift the way you show up so your marketing and sales conversations actually convert* Stop unknowingly communicating hesitation, overproving, or self-doubt to potential clients* Create the internal alignment that supports consistent bookings and long-term business growthThe breakthrough had nothing to do with becoming “more qualified.” The real shift happened when I stopped subconsciously questioning my own value and started showing up with clarity, conviction, and trust in what I already brought to the table. Clients can feel the difference between someone trying to convince and someone who already believes.Book Your Next 5 Clients Weeklong 1:1 Intensive Details HEREBook a FREE coaching consultation HEREJordan’s websiteConnect with Jordan on IG at Ilderton_Bookkeeping_Coaching This is a public episode.

If you’re constantly thinking about your cash problem but still not seeing consistent high-ticket sales…this episode is going to hit hard.In today’s online space, it’s dangerously easy to drown in generic advice, overcomplicate your strategy, and miss the tiny gaps that are actually costing you clients.I’m breaking down the SIMPLE shift I helped a client make that added $5K in recurring monthly revenue in just weeks ($30k over 6 months) and why most business owners are way closer to their next clients than they realize.Inside this episode, we unpack:* Why obsessing over the problem can sabotage sales* The tiny shift that added $5K in recurring revenue, $30k total sales* Why more visibility, consistently, views doesn’t always mean more clients* The hidden gaps that may be costing you salesThis client wasn’t missing some massive strategy overhaul, she was simply too close to her own business to see the real gap. Once we shifted how she was showing up and selling her high-ticket offer, she added $5K in recurring monthly revenue within weeks.Episode Links:Book Your Next 5 Clients details HEREBook a FREE coaching consultation HEREJordan’s websiteConnect with Jordan on IG at Ilderton_Bookkeeping_Coaching This is a public episode.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re doing everything to grow your business, and it’s still not clicking, this episode is going to challenge that in a big way.Because the moves that led to an extra $98K in cash last year? Most people would’ve told me to do the exact opposite.And once you hear what I didn’t do, you’ll start to see why your next level might not be where you’ve been looking.In Episode 2, you’ll hear how to:* Break the cycle of constantly “starting over” so your efforts finally build momentum instead of canceling each other out.* Make cleaner, more confident CEO decisions without getting pulled into every new trend or expert opinion online.* Recognize when you’re investing or pivoting from pressure, not strategy (and what to do instead).* Stabilize your revenue even when months fluctuate, so your business stops feeling so fragile.* Build a business that actually fits your life as a mom, instead of forcing yourself into models that were never designed for you.The $98.9k in NEW cash didn’t come from doing more. It came from what I intentionally refused to do, even when it felt uncomfortable.Once you see it, you won’t be able to unsee how often you’ve been pulled away from the very things that would’ve made you more money.Episode Links:Book a FREE coaching consultation HEREJordan’s websiteConnect with Jordan on IG at Ilderton_Bookkeeping_Coaching This is a public episode.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be making more money by now, but something isn’t clicking, this episode is for you.There’s a very specific way CEOs think about money that most women were never taught, and it shapes how far (and how fast) you grow.Once you see it, you won’t be able to unsee it and it might be the exact shift that changes everything.In this episode, you’ll learn:* Why most service-based women unknowingly cap their income at $5K–$8K months.* How multi-6 and 7-figure CEOs actually think about money and growth differently than most people.* The real reason scaling feels hard.* What it looks like to invest and how that single shift creates momentum that compounds into $10K–$50K months.The real unlock isn’t doing more, learning more, or waiting for more revenue.It’s making the CEO-level decision to build capacity before you feel fully ready for it.That one shift changes how quickly momentum builds, because it forces your business to expand to match the level you’ve already decided to hold.And I can’t wait to share this with you!XOXO,JordanEpisode Links:Book a FREE coaching consultation HEREJordan’s websiteConnect with Jordan on IG at Ilderton_Bookkeeping_Coaching This is a public episode.

The online business space is louder, more crowded, and more misleading than ever and if you’re a service-based mom, following the wrong advice will cost you time you don’t have and revenue you can’t afford to miss.Most “experts” teaching scaling strategies aren’t doing it inside the constraints you live with daily: school pickups, limited hours, and zero margin for wasted effort.This episode cuts through the noise and shows you exactly how to build a multi–six-figure business that fits inside your real life—not the other way around.That’s why in Episode 1 of Six-Figure Mama, you’ll walk away with:>> The shift that makes your income grow without adding more clients or hours.>> Why most strategies fail busy moms and what to focus on instead.>> The missing piece behind consistent, repeatable sales.>> How to stop starting over and instead, finally build real momentum!The real unlock to multi-6-figures isn’t doing more, it’s mastering less.Instead of chasing new strategies, platforms, or offers, the fastest path to multi–six figures in part-time hours is laid out for you in this episode!When you stop constantly searching and start implementing these strategies, your business finally builds momentum. That’s when consistent $10K, $20K, and $50K months become sustainable, not accidental.Episode Links:Download my FREE resource to create a high-ticket offer that premium clients can’t resist!Book a FREE coaching consultation HEREJordan’s websiteConnect with Jordan on IG at Ilderton_Bookkeeping_Coaching This is a public episode.

What if the only thing between you and consistent $10K–$50K months isn’t your schedule… but what you’ve been taught is possible?For years, women, especially mothers, have been conditioned to equate more income with more hours and burnout. This episode dismantles that narrative and shows what actually drives exponential growth inside the same 24 hours.In this episode, we’ll talk:>> Rewire “that’s BS” thinking into “this is inevitable” so you stop subconsciously capping your income before you even try.>> Scale revenue without adding hours by understanding what actually moves the needle (and what’s been wasting your limited time).>> Separate patriarchal conditioning from real business strategy so you can make decisions rooted in data, not inherited doubt.>> Normalize 3X growth so success becomes repeatable.>> Build a business model that works around your kids, without sacrificing income.The women hitting $10K–$50K+ months aren’t working more, they’ve stopped questioning what’s possible. When growth feels inevitable, your decisions change and your revenue compounds. This is a public episode.
