A team is there to support your back end and help you scale your business to that six and seven-figure mark. But if you’ve copy and pasted what other business owners have done with their own teams, you’re probably not seeing the same results. There’s a reason for that.   Scaling to those bigger income goals involves many moving pieces --and one of the most important pieces includes building a supportive team that fits you and your business.    In this episode, I am talking about how to create a sustainable and scalable business model using the most supportive resource out there --your team! The teams running those six and seven-figure businesses behind the scenes aren’t talked about enough.

Does your business light you up and inspire you? Does it still bring you fulfillment? Or have you lost that spark or natural energy around running your business?

I’m deep-diving into why you need to get out of this mindset of reaching particular endpoints or benchmarks, why complacency isn’t enough, and why you need to embark on the journey to actually enjoy the journey of entrepreneurship!   In this episode, we cover… The key to calling in massive wealth while still feeling fulfilled Redefining what’s “enough” How to practice gratitude in the moment The one shift every entrepreneur needs to make to maintain the spark Why you need to stop giving away your power   “You control the spark. You define “enough.” Your thoughts and your perceptions are quite literally what determines your perception of feeling fulfilled in any given moment.” - Amanda Kolbye   “Adjust your mindset that there is no Pinnacle. This is the rest of your life. And it is an ever-evolving forward motion. It's not a medal to win or a finish line to cross.

Are you feeling stuck working 24/7 in your business as you scale up to those multiple six figures marks? You’re not alone. Even with all the right systems in place and a supportive team behind you, this is still one of the biggest hurdles that I see entrepreneurs struggle to overcome as they near the 7 figure mark. Unfortunately, you can’t hustle and grind your way to 7 figures.    In this episode, I am breaking down exactly how to escape that entrepreneur grind by giving you a raw look at how to simplify your entire process with a mix of strategy, mindset, and energy.
