Fear, self-doubt, and Imposter Syndrome rear their heads at every level of business, for every single entrepreneur out there (even me).

But it's also one of the hardest things that you have to own because it takes radical responsibility, and self awareness and self discipline. When you truly own the fact that you are in control. You can't blame anything else, you can't put the onus on anything else.” - Amanda Kolbye   “If you don't know something, that's totally fine.

Whether you are at the beginning stages of building your biz, or in the process of hiring out, you don’t have to spin that wheel forever!    In this episode, I am diving into why entrepreneurs get stuck spinning in their hamster wheel  and how they can slow things down enough to get off of it and find a long-term strategy that works.

So really look at what you are trying to accomplish? Because sometimes our vision is a little bit unclear. And this can be a reason why you stay stuck and stay so busy. Because you don't really know where you're headed.” - Amanda Kolbye   “You cannot continue moving forward if you don't pause or slow down to figure out a game plan to realign priorities.” - Amanda Kolbye   “We all are so ambitious.

The secret to success is more than just taking “messy action,” or as I like to call it, intentional action. Yes, taking action is incredibly important, but it’s what you do with the information you gain from taking that action that will help you grow your business to success.    In this episode, I am unpacking the true secret to success and what you need to do to scale your business to reach that six-figure mark - no matter what stage you’re currently at in your business. We’re going to look at why you need to move beyond the learning stage, how to pinpoint the right problem to solve, why we need to collect feedback, and how to refine this feedback for your business to make the most impact and get real results.   In this episode, we cover… Why taking action is only the first step to success What to do with the information you learned from taking intentional action Getting feedback on and refining what works best for your business The difference between motion and action Four impacts that taking action will give you   ”The key to scaling to six figures is you've got to step out of the learning phase; there’s always more to learn, there's always more that we want to do. But what you're actually going to need to scale to six figures is not 'learning' anymore. It's persistence and consistency of taking action, getting feedback, refining it and keep moving forward.” - Amanda Kolbye     Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, feel free to share this episode with your friends!

The ultimate goal for almost every entrepreneur I meet is to reach that six and seven-figure mark. We’ve told ourselves that that is the pinnacle of success. And yes, hitting 6-7 figures is absolutely a great goal to have. But there is something so much more powerful that I want you to focus on as you grow your business: momentum. Because with momentum, you can become unstoppable.   In this episode, I am deep diving into the unsexy concept of momentum and why it’s the most powerful force you can experience and incorporate into your business. We’re talking about why taking aligned action creates opportunity, the importance of a positive mindset, and how to start the cycle of momentum to get the wheels of your business turning. Plus, I am breaking down my top 8 tips for building momentum in your business that will make your 6 and 7 figure goals not only achievable but sustainable.   In this episode, we cover… The biggest momentum building phase of business  How to actually build momentum into your business Why momentum is secular Why momentum is a mindset game you need to master Eight specific ways to build momentum   QUOTES   ”We're not always trying to get from point A to point B to get a certain result.
