Summary10 Reasons Your Lifetime Customer Value Is Too Low (And How to Fix It)
Jan 2800:25:35Summary readyMost Med Spas are chasing more leads when the real growth opportunity is already sitting in their treatment rooms. In this episode, I break down the reason so many Med Spas stay busy but are not profitable. Your lifetime customer value is lower than it should be, and it's quietly capping your growth, your cash flow, and your capacity to scale.

HIGHLIGHTS Why lifetime customer value is the growth lever in your business. How failing to hold an annual roadmap erodes results and revenue. How forecasting creates predictable revenue.

Jan 2100:24:40Summary readyAre your injectors and estheticians acting like experts, or are they acting like customer service associates at a hardware store?

Jan 1400:36:30Summary readyThe #1 person you need to sell to may not even be on your radar! Today, I unpack why leaders like you need to sell yourself first in order to see massive results.

SummaryThe ONE Belief About Money That Is Stopping Your Growth (+ How to Fix It Fast)
Jan 700:27:25Summary readyGenerosity isn't something you earn after success. It's a decision that creates it. In this episode, I dive into one of the most powerful forces shaping your business, your leadership, and your experience of growth: generosity. Many leaders believe abundance will come once they hit a certain revenue milestone, but what I see over and over again is that scarcity shows up long before money ever becomes the real issue. I talk about how your beliefs around investing, paying others, pricing your work, and even receiving support directly impact how your business grows and how it feels to run it. When you decide to experience generosity now, abundance stops being something you chase and starts becoming something you create. HIGHLIGHTS Why generosity is a decision, not a reward. How scarcity quietly shows up in leadership and business growth. The story that revealed a deeper issue around entitlement and value. How early financial hardship shaped my relationship with money. Why generosity benefits the giver more than the receiver. The difference between seeing expenses as costs versus investments.
