She Thinks Big with Andrea Liebross

What if the reason your business feels chaotic isn’t because you need to work harder—but because you’re missing clarity?In this episode, Andrea sits down with Seran Glanfield, founder of Spring Three Studio Business Consulting and host of the Pilates Business Podcast. Seran explains why many passionate service-based founders hit a ceiling in their business and how mapping the client journey can change the way you attract, serve, and retain clients. Together they explore why being great at your craft isn’t enough to build a sustainable business, where founders often misdirect their time and energy, and the small shift that can bring more clarity, focus, and momentum to your growth.____________ 🔎 Want to learn more from Seran?

You're not being lowballed. You're doing it yourself.Dia Bondi — 20-year leadership communications coach, author of Ask Like an Auctioneer, and the woman behind Rio's 2016 Olympic bid — joins She Thinks Big to talk about the negotiation you're losing before it even begins.The rounding down. The extras nobody asked for. The number you softened before anyone pushed back. Dia calls it shopping from your own wallet — and most of us don't realize we're doing it.In this episode: how to set your reserve before a conversation starts, why price is a measure of value and not your worth, how to find the offer inside any ask, and what to do when you land in the XFO — your Zone of Freaking Out — right before the big moment.That feeling isn't a sign you're doing it wrong.

Scaling a business gets harder when everything still depends on the founder.If your company only works because you’re the one holding everything together… that’s not scale — that’s founder dependency.In this episode, we unpack the leadership trap ambitious founders fall into when every decision, problem, and opportunity runs through them — and why that dynamic quietly caps business growth and leadership potential. The real issue isn’t productivity.It’s business design.And when a business is designed around the founder, growth eventually hits a ceiling.____________If you’re an ambitious leader who knows you can’t keep being the center of everything in your business, there’s a next step.📲 Text CONNECT to (317) 245-3255 to begin a private conversation.____________Chapters1:08 — You're not struggling.
