“Do less to make more” is Amy Porterfield’s mantra, and for good reason: Her success has been gained through her focus on doing just a few things really well, and sharing that knowledge with others. But entrepreneurship hasn’t always come so easily to her. The Orange County, California,-born author and digital marketer began her journey 14 years ago, after leaving her job as content director for Tony Robbins. During a focus group which she was attending as a note-taker, she heard the assembled business owners talking about the freedom they felt in their jobs, and realized that she had never felt the same. A year later, she left the company, intent on building her own business. The journey wasn’t without its trials. She had never had to build a business before, let alone worry about the necessary minutia. Her book, Two Weeks Notice, was born from this struggle. A step-by-step guide to solving and overcoming every challenge she faced, it is the book Porterfield wishes she’d had when her entrepreneurial journey began, written with the intention to help others struggling on or unaware of the same path traverse its many trials. Now, Porterfield and Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada discuss the necessity of putting out weekly content, how to build an email list and Porterfield’s tips for developing digital courses. ---- Amy Porterfield is a marketing strategist helping entrepreneurs build their business online.

The lights of the concert hall dim. The audience grows silent in anticipation. Angela Jia-Kim, a talented concert pianist, sits in front of her piano and begins tickling the ivories like usual until hives start to appear all over her body. For a piano virtuoso, your hands are your life, so she began her investigation into what caused the outbreak -  her skincare. Armed with new information and a reignited passion, Angela began making organic Korean-inspired skincare in her home.  In the following years, this “accidental entrepreneur” developed her own Korean-inspired skincare line Savor Beauty, founded the New York luxury spa chain Savor Beauty + Spa, became a mother to her tween Sienna, and authored the book Radical Radiance (12 Weeks of Self-Love Rituals). Her skincare line and luxury spas have been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, Elle, People, Allure, and Well+Good. The change from musical motions to lotions and potions was not intuitive, but she knew she finally found her passion.

As an adult, Bill Murphy did the work that most people would try to avoid—healing from childhood trauma, a difficult upbringing colored by competition and escapism. Bill hit a crossroads: choose to heal or let unresolved pain deteriorate his life. Driven to improve his situation, he began developing biohacking routines and coping mechanisms like meditation and breathwork to help him build a life he loved for himself, not just to prove his father wrong. “Part of building 'toughness' is self-care,” Bill concludes. “If you can take care of yourself, you can take care of things a lot better.” The lessons Bill learned have radically changed his quality of life and catapulted him to success. He is a nationally recognized mortgage originator who has been a top producer for over 25 years. Since 2017, Bill has served as a business coach for the Fairway Ignite program and helps clients understand how to achieve a mindset primed for thriving, not just surviving.

Do you love to travel? Have you considered investing in a timeshare? The Saunders discuss the value of timeshares versus regular resort rates. Kiersten used to manage the lead funnel of a timeshare directly, and Julien also dealt with timeshares as a portion of his previous work, so the Saunders both have boots-on-the-ground insights to provide. Timeshares have a complicated, polarizing reputation. Those who love them, love them, and those who hate them, hate them. There are two types to invest in, deeded and right-to-use timeshares. While timeshares might be easier for wealthier people to swing, it’s not impossible for a sensible investor if it meets their needs. Discover the pros and cons of investing in a sold good like timeshares and why salespeople get a reputation for being pushy. Listen in as Kiersten and Julien suggest some strategies to implement for whatever stage of timeshare ownership you’re at - acquiring a timeshare, rescinding an offer, and getting out of your contract.   Learn more at richandregular.com, purchase Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game by Walking Away by Kiersten and Julien Saunders and follow on Instagram @richandregular.

Around eight or nine years ago, Jacqui Brassey, Ph.D., experienced a “confidence crisis” which forced her to change how she takes care of herself, and which inspired her to teach others how to do the same. While low-grade anxiety was a constant companion in her life before this point, the combination of a new job and working environment, alongside a lack of self-care, exacerbated her anxiety, putting a roadblock in her ability to reach her potential—a problem which wasn’t helped by her hiding of it.  Following her “confidence crisis,” Brassey began to study the topic, a journey which not only allowed her to discover the science behind her crisis but, as a learning and development professional, how these issues affect our ability to meet our potential at work and in life.   Brassey is a core researcher and practitioner in the field of Sustainable Human Development and Performance. Read her new book, Deliberate Calm: How to Learn and Lead in a Volatile World, and find her on LinkedIn at Jacqui Brassey.   Mentioned: Brave New Work by Aaron Dignan Oura Ring Viom See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
