At minute 3:44 I ask Amy what kind of planner she is and where she's at with that. Hear what changes she made this year and some of her biggest accomplishments from the past year.

Mel is the king of frameworks and we are going to dive deep into how to create content that is good enough and great enough fro people to want to keep consuming and coming back to your lives, your blog, your website, everything you can possibly think of! "How do I elevate myself?..." At minute 1:28 I'm telling you my very first impression of Mel and the first time I met him. If you don't know Mel he shares his background, challenges he's run into and how he got to where he is now. He also shares the 2 types of frameworks and why they are so powerful. "I don't know that the imposter syndrome ever completely goes away…" At 7:20 we talk about the different types of frameworks including the benefits of a diagrammatic framework that can. We also dive into imposter syndrome and how Mel deals with it every day, but hear how that doesn't stop him. "We need to control the message that's out there in the world..." At minute 12:00 why you should make sure what you are teaching makes sense with your brand or if you should refer them to someone else. Mel tells us the boundaries he set up for himself so he knows what is worth his time and when to know what engagements he should take outside those boundaries.

"Just give them what they need..." At 27:01 Mel and I share a few learning lessons and mistakes we've made with courses and books that we wish we knew back then.

Welcome back to episode #288! In case you haven't realized it yet, relationships are by far the most important thing in our life. And relationships, just like business, take intentional effort, time and attention. And with that being said, I think this quote fits perfectly..."Rome wasn't built in a day... but it was worked on everyday." The first step to making our relationships the best they can be is work. So on today's episode of the podcast, I want to share with you about the 5 love languages and what steps I have taken to strengthen the relationships with those most important to me. (Trust me, this will overflow into your business too, whether it be relationships with your team, your clients, etc). "I haven't been as focused on trying to improve there…" At minute 2:53, I'm going to dive much deeper into personal than I will business but if you are thinking this won't help your business, you couldn't be more wrong. It is so important that things at home are great so that it doesn't negatively impact what we've got going on in our business. Hear why I rarely have outside areas of my life in my top 3 goals and why it brings me guilt. "A score to tell me if I was hitting out of the ballpark or barely making it..." At 6:51 I was at a Tony Robbins event and I purchased some of his audio programs including one on relationships. I thought I didn't need the program, but I could think of other people that did. I came home on a mission to fully engage and make sure that I do everything I can to keep that love growing. "His love tank will slowly start to empty…" At minute 15:17 I'm sharing my insights on the book, The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. My husband and I both took their short quiz to find our love languages and I'm telling you why this was SO powerful for us. "I was too busy to play and she knew that…" At 20:23 I share how kids are the same way as adults. They have love tanks and certain things they appreciate more and it's important to again make sure you are doing all 5 but find out what makes them feel the most loved. I did an activity with my kids and I'm sharing that with you plus a big realization I had. I now realize that there are so many things we as a family can be improving on, which will lead into other positive results in other areas including business!

Welcome back to episode #287! I'm so excited for today's podcast episode! I got the chance to catch up with my good friend Lori Harder. I went to her book launch back in May and it gave me so many ah-ha moments and I couldn't believe how much I learned. You are in for a treat so let's jump in! "It couldn't be further from where I started…" At minute 2:35 Lori gives us a look at her story, her journey and why she wrote her book, A Tribe Called Bliss. Lori's background is a major part of her story that gave her eye opening moments that led her to where she is now. "It is the most rewarding thing that you will ever do…" At 9:40, hear how you can start to create new habits and change your environment. Lori gives her tips on how to create change no matter how big or small it is! "You're becoming them and they're becoming you…" At minute 12:34 Lori tells us her why behind the book and why having a tribe is SO important. Hear how she transitioned from the midwest to L.A. and what you can do to find your tribe. "I'm not going to grow without bringing new ideas into my life…" At 20:36 Lori tells us what types of tribes she is a part of and what that looks like for her. Hear about the masterminds she is in and what they provide her. "It will remind you of the way we were meant to be…" At minute 24:27, Lori and I talk about the 7-agreements to have with your tribe that are in her book but I pick just one: no-gossip. This topic gave me a huge breakthrough at Lori's book launch a few months ago. I ask Lori to dive into gossip, how we can separate the good from the bad and how to work through situations that involved gossip. PLUS, Lori shares one last takeaway! If you are loving this episode with Lori, you can find her book, A Tribe Called Bliss on Amazon or at atribecalledbliss.com and connect with her on social @loriharder!

We just wrapped up a phenomenal challenge week and I love the feeling of people telling me I have changed their lives. I'm so excited for the past week and seeing growth not only in my business but for others as well. Today, I'm sharing big takeaways as well as some objections I've seen. "Time wealth is so much more powerful than financial wealth..." At minute 1:55 I'm diving into my thoughts on the Limitless Growth Challenge and how I'm running a business versus my business running me or having an expensive hobby. What stage are you in? "There are things holding you back..." At 7:30, if you've felt like you're stuck, not good enough or not capable enough to teach something or sell a course you need to hear this. You need to convey your solution to the problem you are capable of solving. Everything you tell yourself is just a story, not your reality. "I know I will figure it out, I know this will work out..." At minute 12:40 I'm going through some of things we say to ourselves and objections I hear ALL the time. Hear how I can help you work through those to realize you are the only thing getting in the way of your business. "I've already tried this and it hasn't worked…" At 18:35, have you heard this or even said it yourself? By saying this, it's the biggest mistake you can make. Is someone all talk or is she walking the walk? I'm telling you why you need to find someone who actually cares about their clients! "I don't know if I'm ready..." At minute 24:31, my advice to you is stop getting ready to get ready. Immerse yourself in what you need to learn in order to feel ready and surround yourself with others you will-up-level you. Plus, have you said, do I really want this? Do I really need this or is it just another fear of missing out? If you haven't heard, I just opened the doors to my program Launched in 90! If you want to propel yourself and your business forward without feeling stuck, overwhelmed and indecisive, it's time to think and act like a real business owner. Join me in a transformative program for high-performing women entrepreneurs that gives you a workable, practical and implementable approach to create, launch and sell-out your high-impact digital products, programs or courses in just 90 days! To get started, go to shesbuildingherempire.com/launchedin90

Welcome to Day 5 of the Limitless Growth Challenge! Today is all about Your Network = Your Net Worth. Have you ever stopped and wondered how your environment is affecting your growth? As a female entrepreneur, there is a lot that's expected of you. Greatness, to put it mildly. Thus, when it comes to relationships and network, you have to be careful and proactive – so you can expand your reach, surround yourself with fellow high-achievers, and make more happen in less time by connecting and collaborating. With day 5, we will go into how your environment shapes you into the person you are, and a story that you may get a kick out of (it would literally change the way you think about your network). You become who you surround yourself with. So choose wisely. When it comes to business, you want to stay close to people who are as invested in your business as you are. And that's exactly why I created LAUNCHED IN 90; a transformative experience for women entrepreneurs ready to take their life and business to the next level. Launched in 90 is one of my most IN-DEMAND programs, and lucky you! The doors are now open for a limited time. Imagine being among people who are all working towards up-leveling their quality of life, business and impact in the world by selling digital products (enough with 1:1 work already!). They're shifting from struggling entrepreneurs to REAL business owners. A place where insecurities are replaced by unshakable confidence, and massive focused action swaps inaction (with a proven, step-by-step, implementable SYSTEM). PLUS!!! I've got some really cool fast-acting bonuses lined up for you. But hurry! I'm offering these bonuses on First Come, First Serve basis, and they will disappear soon. Get all the details at, shesbuildingherempire.com/launchedin90

Welcome back to day 4 of the Limitless Growth Challenge! Today is all about the difference between wanting and getting. You can't keep saying that you want something or you believe in something while your actions betray your words. As much as the positive self-talk, affirmations and mantras play their part in living a fulfilling, happy and successful life, they alone cannot do anything, unless backed by focused and consistent action. So what exactly defines your behavior? Your action. Your reaction. Your inaction. Over time, your behavior turns into your habits, things that become second nature to you. For day 3, you will learn how with examples how your behavior is the reason you're not where you desire to be, and how to create habits that lead you to your ultimate vision. Did you know, at the end of this challenge I will be investing $1,000 in someone's business. Yes you heard that right, I want to donate $1,000 to one person to help them build their bigger better business. Would $1,000 help right now? I bet it would. So if you want a chance to be that winner, here is what you need to do. Make your Instagram profile PUBLIC, so that I can see your daily posts by following the challenge hashtags. For 5 days of the challenge, you need to carefully do the homework that I share in the video you get in your email. You can post an image, a quote or a picture of yourself, and in the caption, share your response, a takeaway, or big ah-ha. Use the hashtag #IamLimitless in your post & tag me (@stacytuschl) so that I can see your participation in the challenge. You must BOTH use the hashtag AND tag me to qualify your post. If you haven't signed up for this challenge yet, go to www.shesbuildingherempire.com/limitless. See you tomorrow for Day 5!

Welcome back to day 3 of the Limitless Growth Challenge! We all have friends in both personal and professional life. People who have our best interest at heart. People who want to see us thriving, not just surviving. But then…there are nemeses. Do you know who your worst enemy is? The person who never wants you to succeed. The person who keeps telling you're not good enough. The person who always makes you second-guess yourself. No matter what you do, how much you accomplish, who you become… this person will always be bitter, cold and unappreciative of you. As much as you'd like it to be someone else… it's not. Because as growing, independent and passionate female entrepreneurs, WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES. With day 3, learn how self-talk is affecting your peace of mind, the way you show up, and the level of success you achieve. And more importantly, how to combat it for more positivity, peace and profits. Did you know, at the end of this challenge I will be investing $1,000 in someone's business. Yes you heard that right, I want to donate $1,000 to one person to help them build their bigger better business. Would $1,000 help right now? I bet it would.

If you haven't signed up for this challenge yet, go to www.shesbuildingherempire.com/limitless. See you tomorrow for Day 4!

Welcome back to day 2 of the Limitless Growth Challenge! Today we are talking all about beliefs. Beliefs, as opposed to behavior, is what makes or breaks you as a person (and consequently, as a business owner). UNLESS you believe you can, you can't. UNLESS you believe it will be, it won't be. UNLESS you believe it to be true, it's all a lie. And your beliefs? Your beliefs are a direct reflection of your IDENTITY. Our beliefs impact our vision. Your beliefs don't have to be your present state. You don't have to have a following of a million people to believe you can impact a million people. Go after what you want---dream big, like really really big, you can have anything you want but only if you truly believe it. With day 2, learn how your belief system is holding you back (without you even realizing it) and what you need to do to unshackle yourself from these self-imposed limitations. Did you know, at the end of this challenge I will be investing $1,000 in someone's business. Yes you heard that right, I want to donate $1,000 to one person to help them build their bigger better business. Would $1,000 help right now? I bet it would.

Today kicks off the 5 day Limitless Growth Challenge! So, welcome to day 1 of the Limitless growth challenge. Get ready to be a different person in 5 days. This challenge has you doing some inner work this week. Now, you might be thinking but Stacy, I need to make my business better, I need to bring in more money, or hire people and so on. Then you are in the right place. We are going to work on ourselves to help us create a bigger and better business. It's possible, all of it IS possible. But the change that you seek to bring in your life & business doesn't start from external validation, unique business strategy, or quick-fix marketing courses…it in fact starts from WITHIN. You need to change your identity to change your reality. With day 1, learn the shortest and most effective path to limitless growth, gigantic opportunities and massive self-fulfillment in life. If you are curious to learn how to construct and maintain an identity that looks exactly what you aspire to be, today is for you! Did you know, at the end of this challenge I will be investing $1,000 in someone's business. Yes you heard that right, I want to donate $1,000 to one person to help them build their bigger better business. Would $1,000 help right now? I bet it would.

Welcome back to episode #279! This is a special bonus episode I just had to share with you! I want to talk about a problem we have to overcome and until we learn to become a finisher and focus on one thing, there will be no results. One thing that separates pros from amateurs, action-takers from slackers, and impact-creators from just talkers is the ability to take back CONTROL – control the way you think, control the way you behave, and control the way you live. Your ability to take control of things enables you to make powerful decisions in business, which lead you to massive income, huge influence and limitless growth. If you've been feeling trapped in a repetitive cycle day after day, month after month, and your growth stalled because of it, let me help you rediscover your true self, refresh your perspective, and restart your life with a fresh dose of passion, fulfillment and joy in just 5 days for less than 10 minutes a day.

"We'll learn from our mistakes…" At minute 2:27 hear a few behind the scenes of my brick and mortar business and how we keep getting better every year. We're constantly asking ourselves where can we improve. I also share why this relates to your social media and other content. "All of these really successful people are talking about the importance of storytelling…" At 3:44 How can you connect with your audience and your community what kinds of things they may want to hear from you. Hear why you just need to get started! Find something that resonates with your community and what makes them want to jump in on the conversation and share. "I'm from Wisconsin and I practically only shop at Nordstrom…" At minute 5:31 I talk about why I don't often share personal things about myself. I care about getting to know other people but I always question why would someone want to know all of that about me? Hear why you need to be sharing things in order to go to that next level. "If I don't come clean about what I am thinking about, why would I expect them to?..." At 8:00 I talk about my most recent Instagram post that had the most engagement. I share the things I talked about and how it got my community so involved. If I don't come clean about what I am thinking about why would I expect them to? "I feel like people wanted to share back…" At minute 10:48 I share what happened when I went deeper in my Instagram post and how the community responded. I was able to make a deeper and different type of connection. It is all about balance between personal content and business content but there is a way to combine them. "Share something you normally wouldn't share…" At 12:41 I challenge you to ask yourself how you can go deeper with your audience. Share something you normally wouldn't share or haven't shared with your audience before and let's just see what happens. Get out of your comfort zone! Stay tuned for next week's episode as we are chatting with Sarah Boyd on raising kids in an entrepreneur family. I'm so excited because this isn't a topic I've talked about and I want to make sure I'm being a good role model for whoever it is that's watching me. You can find the Instagram post I am talking about here. In the meantime head over to Instagram, say hello and tag me @stacytuschl! Let's keep the conversation going.

I am so excited to bring you this episode because I am sharing the ONLY way to sell your digital products. It is my favorite way and it should be yours too! I usually get push-back on this topic but it is SO powerful for your digital products. "How many of you have bought a birthday cake?..." At minute 1:16 ask yourself a series of questions to understand how common a pre-sell is that you might not even realize. Start thinking outside of the box and become comfortable with being uncomfortable. "Sometimes we miss the mark..." At 4:34 I share a HUGE mistake people make when creating their product. Hear two stories and testimonials that will sell the idea of pre-selling your products to you! Learn how to set your expectations and keep your promises. "Are you going to hold up that commitment?..." At minute 10:04 Hear the ultimate accountability to get your program done. When you decide to pre-sell, set your expectations and tell people what it will be and what it will look like. I see people over-deliver and if you think you create the course and then sell it it will consume SO much time. "It's a huge win-win…" At 12:56 I share the benefits of pre-selling for both the seller and the people buying and how hard it can be to be your own boss. Make sure you have the accountability to get the program and launch to be a success. Join my FREE Facebook group right here: www.shesbuildingherempire.club and keep the conversation going!
