Business with Impact: Recent Episodes
Rachel McMichael
From marketing strategies to tech tips to balancing work and family, your host Rachel McMichael joins other leading entrepreneurs to share real talk about creating a business that has lasting impact and influence (and of course… income!). If you’re looking for tangible advice on how to start and scale your business online, this one’s for you!
What if you could sign your next three clients even if your offer is only half scribbled on a Google Doc, you’ve got a tiny audience, and zero team.
If you’ve ever thought, “I just need someone to show me how to start making sales now, without all the moving pieces,” this episode is for you.
Today, I’m giving you the inside look at my Scrappy Launch System… the same one our clients are using right now to sell their offers… without a fancy funnel, a big list, or a full launch runway.
What to listen for:
- Why most entrepreneurs are building their business backward, and how to fix it.
- The surprising reason you should sell your offer before it's fully ready.
- How to get paid to create your program before you record a single video.
- What a “Magnetic Yes Offer” is and why it makes selling easier.
- Two flexible sales plans that work no matter where you're starting.
- How to turn launch feedback into your next success story.
- Why launching doesn’t have to feel overwhelming (or perfect).
- The one thing that matters more than likes, followers, or funnels: momentum.
You don’t need a polished funnel or a massive list to make your next sale… you just need a clear offer, a simple plan, and the courage to launch scrappy. If you're ready to learn how to sell before you’re “ready,” this episode lays it all out.

If business feels frustrating right now…
If you’re doing all the things and still wondering why nothing’s quite landing…
It might not be because you're doing the wrong things.
It might be because you're doing the right things... at the wrong stage.
One of the biggest reasons smart, talented online business owners stall out and plateau?
They’re executing Stage 3 strategies… while still stuck in Stage 1.
Or they’re looping in Stage 2 without ever building a strong Stage 1 foundation.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the three stages of online business growth – what they really look like, what to focus on at each one, and what you can completely ignore for now.
Because doing the right work at the wrong time? Leads to unnecessary hustle and overwhelm.
What to listen for:
- The #1 mistake that keeps entrepreneurs stuck (and burned out)
- Why doing “advanced” strategies too early can stall your growth
- The simple breakdown of Stage 1: Scrappy Sales + Validation
- What not to waste time on when you’re starting out
- The exact markers that signal you’re ready for Stage 2
- How to move from “manual momentum” to scalable success
- Why you don’t need a team of 10 to hit consistent income
- What it really looks like to step into Impactful CEO mode in Stage 3
- The difference between automated, automatic, and AI systems
Trying to build a successful online business on a shaky foundation? That’s a recipe for frustration. But when you understand which stage of business you’re truly in, you can stop plateauing and start building with simple systems that work. If you’re ready to plug into the proven systems that match where you are now, tune into this episode.
Listen now, subscribe to the show, and check out The Business with Impact Academy™ to start building your business the simple, scalable way.

Can we both agree that hustling 24/7 isn’t sustainable?
In this episode, I’ll show you the exact framework I use (and teach my clients) to build a simple, high-impact system that creates consistent sales – even when you’re not constantly posting, launching, or showing up on camera.
What to listen for:
- The 3-part Impact Framework that drives consistent sales
- Why visibility without profitability is keeping you stuck
- The truth about posting daily (and what to do instead)
- The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when they don’t have an offer
- What to do if you’re getting leads, but no one’s buying
- How to optimize one funnel instead of building 10
- Why your list isn’t converting (and how to fix it)
- The weekly traffic rhythm Rachel uses to grow her audience
- The secret to 6:45 AM sales while making breakfast for the kids
- How evergreen and live launch strategies can work together for scalable sales
You don’t need to be online 24/7 to make sales—you just need a system that works while you live your life. The Impact Framework is that system. It’s simple. It’s scalable. And it’s what we help you build inside the Business With Impact Academy™.

You created the freebie. You poured your best tips into it. Shared it. Promoted it. Maybe even ran some ads.
And if you’re still refreshing your screen thinking… “Where are the leads?”
Before we blame the algorithm… Before we burn it all down and start over… Let’s get real about what’s actually going on.
Because here’s what no one’s talking about:
Free offers (aka opt-ins, lead magnets, lead generators, freebies) can work.
Free leads can turn into paying clients.
But only when the freebie, the offer, and the message are fully aligned.
This episode is your behind-the-scenes look at what makes a lead magnet actually convert – without needing a massive audience or fancy funnel.
I’m breaking down:
- The 3 quiet killers of conversion
- What most freebies get wrong
- And the small, strategic shifts that change everything
Let’s fix the freebie. Let’s get it working. Let’s finally make it convert.
What to listen for:
- Why “just provide value” is an outdated strategy
- How vagueness is killing conversions (and how to fix it)
- The real purpose of a landing page – and why most are doing too much
- What your CTA should look like (and where to put it)
- The 3 mistakes so many make with their lead magnets
- Why clear beats catchy every time
- The one thing all high-converting free offers have in common
- Simple headline shifts that can triple your opt-in rate
- Real-life examples of tweaks that led to 3x and 4x conversions
- The exact structure of a high-converting landing page (plus a free template!)
Your freebie isn’t broken, it likely just needs a few tweaks to fix it. You don’t need a bigger audience or more traffic to see real results. You need the right words in the right places.

If your funnel isn’t converting, it’s not because your audience is too small or your content isn’t “good enough”? In this episode, Rachel uncovers the real reasons your funnel is stalling – and the exact steps to fix it. Spoiler: It’s not about scrapping everything. It’s about tweaking and refining what’s already there.
What to listen for:
- The real definition of a funnel (hint: it’s not just a landing page and a freebie)
- Why “set it and forget it” funnels aren't the goal
- The dangers of funnel hacking without full context
- 3 conversion-killing mistakes (and how to fix them)
- Why ghosting your leads is the fastest way to lose a sale
- How “mysterious offers” are quietly killing your conversions
- The surprising way your freebie could be attracting the wrong audience
- The essential funnel ingredients most people are missing
- Why your landing page might not be the problem (but your messaging is)
- A simple self-audit checklist to troubleshoot your funnel today
Funnels don’t need to be burned down. They just need refining. Whether your funnel is falling flat at the landing page, the email sequence, or the sales page, this episode gives you the clarity to fix what’s not working – without starting from scratch.

On today’s episode of the Business With Impact podcast, we're talking about priority-based living and why it’s so important when it comes to goal setting.
You see, there’s a problem with traditional goal setting.
Oftentimes, we set goals for our business, and what do we do? We start to dream and we pick some numbers (really, if we're being honest, out of thin air) based on what we wish and we immediately attach a whole lot of meaning to a number that we arbitrarily picked because someone told us that's what we needed to do…
I have a problem with that.
So, we’re diving into what priority-based living means, why it matters, and how we implement it in our business and life when it comes to goal setting.

I remember the very first time that I started a group coaching program and the first six weeks were focused exclusively on mindset.
I'll never forget emailing the coach and asking, “Can we please just fast forward to the good stuff?” Because all I wanted was the strategy, the system, the step by step process.
Little did I know that those first six weeks would build a foundation that would then allow me to scale my business to six figures, and eventually, beyond that.
Today I'm so excited to introduce you to Brad Bizjack!

On today’s episode, I am really excited to introduce you to my friend, Renae Fieck!
If you've ever focused on trying to be consistent, maybe you found yourself staying up late or getting up early. Or you feel like you're chasing shiny objects, just forcing yourself to be productive, even when it doesn't feel authentic or effective. Maybe you've even found yourself thinking things like, “the harder I work, the more success I see.”
In today's episode, Renee is going to take everything you thought you knew about the old way of working and turn it upside down. We're talking all about how if you want to hit your goals as a female entrepreneur, then leveraging your cycle can help you get more done in less time and have more time off without dropping the ball.
Because when we start syncing with our body's natural rhythms, we get to have time for both life and business. We get to take more time off knowing it's going to make us more effective. And these periods of rest actually become the key to our productivity.
I can’t wait for you to learn all about how Renee has mastered this in her own life and business and how you can too!

And we’ll even throw in a few things that we wouldn't recommend doing when it comes to pricing your offer…some mistakes we often see in the online space.

On today’s episode, I am really excited to introduce you to Michelle Lake!
Michelle coaches endurance athletes and I had the honor of meeting Michelle in-person just over a year ago. One of the things that impressed me the most about Michelle is that she is so good at speaking to her ideal client on social media.
Now, when I say speaking to her ideal client, I don't mean just posting content… I mean, she's really good at getting in people's minds.
Have you ever read a post from someone you follow online and thought, “Has she been following me around? How did she know that I was thinking that? How did she know that I was experiencing that problem in my business?” – That’s the power of getting this right!
In this episode we’ll talk about why content is where your first class clients can come from, how to get better at content creation, and mindset shifts centered around our content as business owners. There’s SO much for you to hear in this episode!

On today’s episode, I am thrilled to be talking with my friend, my Magnify Your Content™ business partner, my colleague, AND my client, Kristen Van Horn!
Kristen is the best at all things productivity, time management, and content creation on top of being a great mom, a great wife, and a great business owner! She wears all the hats and wears them so well.
Today we’re focusing on momentum… and the most important key ingredient for momentum… consistency!
If consistency has been a struggle for you - good news - consistency for the busy business owner is just a habit, much like any other habit, that needs to be figured out day to day. Because if you’re not showing up consistently, then you can’t serve your clients or potential clients well.
It’s all about changing your mindset around what consistency looks like for you and then finding a system that works well for your business.

How do you know when to invest and when not to invest?
When I'm trying to make an investment in my business, whether it's a laptop or whether it's knowing if I should invest in a program, I go through a framework, a series of three questions.
I want to walk you through those questions and I want to encourage you to take notes because this is going to make a difference for you and your business as you're trying to make investments and as you're trying to see if these investments are wise, worthy, and if they’re something that makes sense.

Today on the Business With Impact I want to talk about this thing that we call success.
Why is it that some people seem to accomplish so much in their day… so much that it looks like they're checking every box off of their well-designed to do list… while others who have the same big plans, the same grand vision, and strong work ethic, at the end of the day are left feeling like they really didn't get much done?
If you could fully tap into your vision, and your mission, and your potential, what would that look like for you? What would that change for your business, for your family? How would life change if you were able to be more productive, if you were able to hit your goals consistently?
We’re going to talk about all of that and more today...so let’s dive in!

Have you ever been told that in order to have predictability in your business and with your income, you have to have a recurring revenue stream?
Well on today’s Business With Impact episode, I’m going to bust that myth right out of the water!
This is by far one of my favorite topics to discuss! But I have to warn you… predictability in our business doesn't come from some of those really fancy, exciting new marketing strategies that you’ll see all over your social media feeds... Predictability in our business comes from understanding our numbers.
I'm going to show you that no matter what your niche is and no matter what your service is… you, too, can have predictability in your online business!

Today on the Business With Impact podcast, we're talking about one of my favorite topics.
MINDSET.
But if you would’ve asked me several years ago if this is one of my favorite topics… I would have laughed at you, rolled my eyes, and groaned inwardly. I thought that business really can't just be about mindset.
But you know what I’ve learned? That MINDSET is absolutely one of the main things that separates a hustling overwhelmed entrepreneur from an Impactful CEO.
And while there is absolutely action and strategy that must take place in order for you to go where you need to go, and do what you need to do in your online business, the thing that will have you actually taking those actions and putting yourself out there is a strong mindset.
And when you're willing to make these shifts in your business, they will set you up to be able to do the things you need to do. So let's dive in as we talk about four of these big lessons that I had to learn in my own business!

If you’ve been in business for any amount of time, chances are you may have felt like you’re talking about the SAME thing… over, and over, and over again.
So what do you do if you feel like a broken record? How can you keep excited about what seems to be the same topics time and time again?
And what do you do if you’re feeling like there’s nothing new to say (or worse - what if it’s been keeping you from being consistent)?
Believe it or not, this is such a normal thing for online business owners to feel.
Get ready for some tough love about why it’s important to keep doing the same things over and over again. And what to do when it feels BORING!
Let’s talk about it!

Have you ever noticed that some people seem like overnight successes? It feels like they just started their business yesterday and now they've hit a big milestone or a big goal, while others seem to struggle through it for years without much to show for it.
Why is that? Why is it that most people start a business and fail in the first 18 months? On today’s Business With Impact Podcast episode, I'm going to share with you the most important decision I made in my business that changed everything.
I am not an overnight success, but some may think I am. I want to share some behind the scenes of what happened and three ways to help you decide what your business needs.
Because if you've got a big heart to serve others and you're ready to step into that purpose, but you're having trouble getting in front of those people...That can change starting now.

Revenue seems to get a lot of attention in the online space. We hear about $10K months and we hear about seven figure success…
But what doesn't seem to get a lot of attention is the thing that we actually care about the most in our online business… And that is how much of that revenue stays in our bank account as PROFIT.
On today's episode, that's exactly what we're going to talk about. What’s the difference between the two and does it really matter? Let’s dive in!

You've probably heard me say at some point that you are one well-executed launch strategy away from your business breakthrough.
But what do I mean when I say “launch”? How are we defining “launching”? What is that big, fancy word? If we're not talking about rocket ships, what are we setting in motion?
We know that launching is such an important part of your business because if you’re not launching, then you’re not selling. And so when we’re speaking about launching, we’re speaking specifically about the sales mechanism that you select in and for your business.
So, on today’s episode we’re going to talk about that, but we’re also going to redefine launching in today’s polarized business culture.

Today’s episode is a replay of an episode we released back in 2019 with my friend and fellow entrepreneur Heather Schishler. Last weekend, Heather tragically passed away after courageously battling cancer. The best way for me to honor her memory and her legacy is to bless you with her encouraging words about life and business.
Those who knew Heather know that she was always that inspiration for moms in online business. That ray of light who, when she walked into the room, she made everyone there feel so seen and so special.
Her legacy will continue to live on through her family and through passionforsavings.com.
And as I re-listened to today’s episode, I re-discovered so many lessons about consistency, faithfulness, team building, leadership, and more.
I hope Heather's words will encourage and inspire you as much as they've encouraged me today.

If you've ever said out loud, “I'm thinking about creating something, should I create it, is it time?” …Today's episode is for you.
We're talking all about whether to create something new or stick with what's already working and scale.
Because when it's working, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel… And if things aren't quite hitting the mark, don't panic. We’re going to talk about how to look at your data, make some tweaks, and help you get results.
Spoiler alert: More work doesn't always mean more revenue. Let’s focus on smart scaling instead!
Let’s dive in!
At 2:19, I explain why it’s important to ask yourself if there’s a simpler solution rather than creating something completely new in your business.
At 6:24, we walk through the pros of deleting, systemizing, automating, and delegating. I also give you some helpful tools to speed up your business process!
At 9:25, I challenge you to reflect on what making these changes will cost you in the long run.

In today's episode, I'm breaking down step by step, what to work on and when in your online business.
This episode is a message that I think all entrepreneurs should know.
So let's start with a quick question: What's your time worth? No, you don't have to DM me with an exact number, but you can if you want to. (My handle's @rachelrmcmichael on Instagram).
But I'm willing to bet that number would be pretty high… especially if we were valuing your time at where you want your business to be, even in the next six months or a year.
Especially as an entrepreneur, right?
As an entrepreneur, our time is our most precious resource. It's our most valuable asset.
Which means every second that we spend unclear in our business can mean another dollar from our pocket and another potential client who doesn't get the help that we know that we can provide.
But that doesn't need to happen to you.
There are steps that you can take to start creating major results in your business right now, and all you need to do is start taking small, simple actions that will help you get there.
So if you've ever asked the question: “What do I work on first?” Or “What do I do next?” Or “How do I decide I've got so many things on my to-do list? How do I even prioritize it?” Then this episode is for you.

What would your business look like if you were able to double your results? Or even completely fill your program or 1:1 slots?
In order to answer that question… you have to have one thing crystal clear: Confidence that your offer is EXACTLY what someone out there needs.
In fact, they’re probably looking for you as you’re listening to this episode right now.
Are you clear on the results and value that you can bring to your clients and customers?
Chances are you’ve created a program that gets results. And if you’re still struggling with getting sign-ups and consistent sales, then you’re probably struggling with the exact same thing that most do… and that’s how to clearly communicate the value of your offer in a way that makes your ideal customers want to take action NOW…
And that can cause one of two things to happen:
Either you try to overcompensate by offering everything (and the kitchen sink) to your clients (which can leave YOU feeling resentful)… or your potential clients are confused… and we all know a confused buyer doesn’t buy.
And the problem is… no matter which one of these you struggle with - both lead to a cycle of questioning your offer, your business, or even yourself.
It’s a story that’s all too common, but that story doesn’t have to be yours.
In today’s episode, I want to walk you through a quick tip we give our Academy 12-Month Group Coaching Clients on how they create a “Magnetic Yes” offer that’s worth 10x what they charge…

On today's episode, we are continuing the conversation about how we use the data to make decisions in our business.
The problem we see right now with so many struggling business owners is that they're not tracking the data.
And because they're not tracking the data, they don't get the results that they were expecting, so they make it mean something about them.
But what if instead, moving forward, what if you fully embraced and knew that the story the data is telling you means nothing about you.
It means nothing about your worth. It doesn't even necessarily mean anything about your program.
All it means is that there's something happening that is causing those who would be a good fit for your program to think that they're not right now.
(Probably something with the way you’re communicating about your program. Not the content in your program, but the way you communicate about the program).
And when we can start to work on that, can you already start to see how the result will change?
This is why metrics matter. This is why I get so passionate about the data in your business.
Because when we understand this, we can scale!

On today's episode, we are talking all about the three metrics that we track every single week in our online business to make sure that we are hitting our goals!
Our motto is: trust your intuition when it comes to creating your messaging, and trust the data when it comes to how well it performed.
Here’s why this is so important:
When we track the numbers we can determine the ACTIVITY and ACTIONS that led to the results. And when we want more of these results, we can take more of those actions.
Facts: our goal is to grow our results AND make things more simple. Less time, less effort, more impact.
And this is possible because we track our metrics.
We aren’t emotionally attached to the metrics… because we know that they are simply FEEDBACK on what’s working and what’s not. And that feedback gives us the lessons that we need to scale smarter.

On today's episode, we are answering another write-in question! And the question we got for today's episode was this…
“The biggest struggles for me are that I get overwhelmed with organizing my content and my ideas. I actually have a lot of photos and I have a lot of ideas, but they just aren't organized well…And so because of that, I'm not consistent.”
Let's talk about consistency when it comes to content creation. I love this topic! And I'm so passionate about this topic that I've actually co-created a solution for you…

The first question that came in was this one, it said, “How can I keep excited about what seems to be the same topics over and over again? Sometimes I feel like I don't have anything new to say, so I'm just not consistent.”
Believe it or not, this is such a normal place for online business owners to be.

Today's episode is a replay from Day 1 of the Goal Achieving Workshop.
It's hard to put into words the transformations we experienced today, am I right?

(And there was definitely a lot of along the way!) Don’t forget to complete your Action Item for today and enter to win some prizes! The action item for Day 1 is to go into the FB group and tell everyone what your biggest lesson was from 2022. Tomorrow, we’re going to dive into setting goals and creating an action plan that WORKS.

On today’s episode, we're going to talk all about the unlikely lessons I learned from a pro NFL stadium tour. Sounds strange right? Well, hear me out…
This past week we had the incredible opportunity to host the members of my Accelerator Mastermind in Dallas and for one of our excursions, we went to tour AT&T Stadium (where the Dallas Cowboys play, for those who don’t follow sports…) and this massive building taught me some pretty amazing things about running an online business.

What are your thoughts on one-on-one coaching and done-for-you services? I'm so glad you asked because that's what we're going to talk about on today's episode!
I was on a call recently with some of my coaches and they asked me an important question. And it's one that I want you to sit down and ask yourself right now…
They said, “Rachel, what is your favorite thing that you do in your online business? What is the thing that lights you up, that really excites you, that you love going to work every day and doing?”
And that thing for me is coaching.
On today’s episode, I want to talk to you about WHY this is my one thing and WHY you should be seeking out your own one thing in your own business. Finding out what this one thing is and focusing on it for the next 90 days, has the potential to truly change your business for 2023!

Strategy is important, but it's not going to solve THIS problem…
I know that's kind of cryptic, but that's what we're going to talk about on today's episode.
Also…welcome back! We are back from a mid-season break that we decided to take since we had a lot going on over here in the Business With Impact brand.
We also had our annual, in-person and virtual hybrid event, called Impact Profit Live (which is for all of our current customers). And that two day event just wrapped up last week!
Let me just tell you…I am still reeling from all of the amazing experiences that we shared, all of the lessons that we talked through, and all of the implementation that happened! So on today's episode, I want to take you behind the scenes with me and share all that happened at that event + how what we learned could help you (right now!) in your online business!

Today's episode is all about something that we recently implemented in our online business - a manifesto – and why we think it’s a good idea for online business owners everywhere!
A manifesto is a simple way for you to be able to share what you stand for, what you're about, and why the work that you do matters.
Today, we’re going to take you behind the scenes here at McMichael Consulting LLC and share what our business manifesto includes and why we think that these things are so important for the online business owner.
If you don't have a business manifesto…listen in.
If you have one…listen in.

Welcome to part five (the final episode of our five part MPACT series) where we are breaking down our signature process–our MPACT Method–for scaling your online business and generating that momentum + how to do it in as little as four hours a day, four days a week.
You can catch part one, part two, part three, and part four here, but don’t be afraid to dive in right now and go back though these episodes later!
In this episode we're talking all about traffic and traffic is all about getting more people to your content and getting more people to your launch and sales mechanisms–and being able to do that because, if you’ve followed the rest of the MPACT method, you’ve now got the data to see what works and what doesn’t.
And once you have the data, you can learn how to use traffic to bring as many people as you possibly can to your program or product so that you can help more people.

You can catch part one, part two, and part three here, but don’t be afraid to dive in right now and go back though these episodes later!
In this episode we're talking all about content creation! This episode is for you…
→ If you feel like you're creating great content, but no one's hearing it, despite being super consistent…
→ If you feel like you never know what to say and you’re the most inconsistent person with content…
→ If you feel like you just keep spinning your wheels, trying new things, but content creation feels more like throwing spaghetti at the wall.
So often we tend to get caught up in this content creation piece as business owners. And it's not that we don't have good content. It's not that we’re not smart, creative individuals (you wouldn't be in online business if you weren't a smart, creative individual!)...
But what happens is that maybe our timing's a little off or, or the location is off, or the messaging is off…and that’s what we want to help you fix in this episode! Content creation should be simple.
There's a better way. There's a better strategy. There's a better method. And that's exactly what we're gonna dive into on today's episode!

You've probably heard us say that building an online business is simple, but it's not easy…
So often struggling entrepreneurs come to us because they feel like online business is this puzzle and they know what it's supposed to look like, but it feels like a piece is missing. And so often, we think that’s because we're missing a key process.
If you’ve found yourself saying, “If only I had this tool, if only I knew this next step”...you might have a process problem.
In today's episode, we're going to talk all about the third P in our three P’s series and that is process and we're going to help you identify if process is really your problem.

You can have all of the processes in place for your business, and your presentation and your marketing message can be spot on, but if you're missing this one ingredient, you might find yourself not even taking action on all the work you’ve put in.
You might find yourself not hitting send on the email that you just wrote or not pushing post on the social media post that you've been crafting all day long…
In today's episode, we're going to talk all about the second P in our three P’s series and that is posture – which refers to the way that you handle yourself in all aspects of your business.
This is the internal piece of how you're showing up. It's how you deal with the internal problems. How you interact with your customers. But it's so much more than just mindset!

If you don't know who you help and how you help them, how can you ever expect them to work with you? In last week’s episode, we broke business down into three simple areas… And in this week’s episode, we’re diving in detail to the first area - and we're talking all about presentation.
Presentation is all about how you communicate who you are and who you serve in a way that people understand, and they want it… And they can even think of a friend who might need it too!
This is how you show up, how you put yourself out there… everything you want your customers and your audience (and even your peers!) to see externally falls into this category of presentation.

You've probably heard us say that building an online business is simple…but just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it’s easy. And so often struggling entrepreneurs come to us because their business feels like a puzzle and yes, they have an idea of what the puzzle is supposed to look like… but it feels like there's a missing piece (or maybe even a few missing pieces!).
In today’s episode, we are going to help you determine which piece is missing, and what to do next… Let’s dive in!

As online business owners, we all know the importance of email marketing, but the question becomes: How do we get more people to open our emails? What's the purpose of our emails? Can an email really help someone make a better decision about our product, program, or service?
In today's episode, I'm so excited to introduce you to my friend, Bobby Klinck! And we're talking all about how to write emails, but not just that…how to write emails that get results!

Today we are celebrating the 200th episode since the launch of this podcast!
It is so hard for me to believe that it's already been 200 episodes! I feel like it has just flown by and I know you can probably relate to that too in your life and in your business. Sometimes things that seem like they're going to take so long or they seem so hard at the beginning, they start to fly by once you catch that momentum and once you get systems, automation, and processes in place.
We talk all the time in the Business With Impact Academy about not despising small beginnings, and about starting small and taking the next best step…and 200 episodes, friend, that’s proof of what’s possible when you keep going.
Over the last 200 episodes we have had some incredible guest experts come and interview on the podcast and in honor of this milestone, I decided I wanted to do something a little bit different! We're going to share some clips from some of our favorite episodes and have compiled this great “recap” episode for you!
I hope that today you’ll finish listening to this episode feeling inspired, motivated, excited, and ready to do big things in your business!

If you've ever asked these questions in your online business, today's episode was created with you in mind…
1) Where is my next client coming from?
2) How can I continue to grow? Even if I don't have much time?
3) Is a membership something that would work for my business, for my audience, or for my lifestyle?
I'm so excited to introduce you today to my friend and my membership coach, Stu McLaren! Stu is the coach who taught me how to grow and scale my own successful membership site and today he's coming to talk to you about the importance of having a consistent revenue stream in your online business.

If you've been in online business for any amount of time, you've probably heard the term, “branding.”
And if you're anything like me when I hear that word, I think of fonts, colors, or even a really cute branding board that gives us a vision of how we want our content to feel.
But as I was talking to my friend and fellow #impacter, Shannon Tacheny, she took branding to a whole new level and I knew that I just had to get her to come on the podcast to share her expertise with us!
So get ready because on today's episode, we're going to take everything you think you know about branding and turn it upside down! Let’s dive in!

Revenue seems to get a lot of attention in the online space. We hear about $10K months and we hear about seven figure success…
But what doesn't seem to get a lot of attention is the thing that we actually care about the most in our online business… And that is how much of that revenue stays in our bank account as PROFIT.
On today's episode, that's exactly what we're going to talk about. What’s the difference between the two and does it really matter? Let’s dive in!

You may have heard me say in the past, “You can invest your time or you can invest your money…”
… And when it comes to growing your online business, you have to choose to invest something. Investment is required. But which is worth more? Your time or your money?
This is a question that comes up a lot. It's a question that we answer a lot. And it's a question that we've had ourselves as we make assessments in the business.
Do we want to outsource this? Do we want to bring it into the business? Do we want to take the time to learn the skill or do we want to hire for the skill?
These are the questions we ask in our business… and if you’re anything like us, these are things that you probably talk about a lot in your business, too… right?
So, on today's episode, I'm really excited because we're going to dive into what this looks like in our business and how we make those decisions.

I know that you know that everything I touch doesn't just turn to gold - in life, or in business. And as amazing as that would be, it would really rob me of some valuable life experiences.
On today's episode, we're going to take you behind the scenes of some of the worst days in our business and share why we now believe that each of these things that happened was actually happening FOR us and not TO us!
We'll share some of the lessons we learned along the way and how you can prepare for the inevitable situations that may come up in your business… because the more prepared you are, the less they’ll look like disasters!

You've probably heard me say at some point that you are one well-executed launch strategy away from your business breakthrough.
But what do I mean when I say “launch”? How are we defining “launching”? What is that big, fancy word? If we're not talking about rocket ships, what are we setting in motion?
We know that launching is such an important part of your business because if you’re not launching, then you’re not selling. And so when we’re speaking about launching, we’re speaking specifically about the sales mechanism that you select in and for your business.
So, on today’s episode we’re going to talk about that, but we’re also going to redefine launching in today’s polarized business culture. Let’s dive in!

One question that we get asked a lot is, how do I price my offer? How do I know what value to attach to my deliverables?
So, on today’s episode, we’re going to talk through three ways that we approach this with our Business With Impact Academy™ members…some of which are a very different way to ask these questions in your business!
And we’ll even throw in a few things that we wouldn't recommend doing when it comes to pricing your offer…some mistakes we often see in the online business world.
So, have a pen and paper ready to take all the notes! Let’s dive in!

Should you host a free challenge or a paid bootcamp?
On today’s episode, we're going to talk about the pros and the cons of hosting a free challenge versus a paid bootcamp. We're going to talk you through why we recommend initially opting to go free, but why some other businesses choose to go with a paid bootcamp.
We’ll dive into the data, metrics, and math of it all so that you have all the information you need to start making these informed decisions for your business! We’ll also tell you how the math can sometimes be manipulated to make one avenue seem better than the other.

Have you ever found yourself asking the questions: How can I grow my audience? Or, how can I get more traffic over to my offer? Maybe you've even thought about experimenting with paid traffic strategies, but you're not sure if that's the right avenue for you or what the alternatives might be.
Maybe you’ve even felt like you are the best kept secret in your space…
If any of these apply to you, today's episode was created with you in mind! Today, I'm interviewing my friend, Selena Soo, and we are talking about all things publicity!
We're going to start out by identifying, and really defining, what does publicity mean? And spoiler alert, we're not talking about paying to play in the publicity space. We're talking about how to get free publicity, visibility, and how to build authority for your online business and your brand.

One of the questions that we've been getting a lot recently is…What happened to The Business With Impact Society? Where did it go? And what is The Business with Impact Academy™? How is it different?
So on today's Business With Impact Podcast episode, we are going to share why we transitioned from the membership model to the group coaching model in our business.
And we’ll also cover some of the questions you can ask when you're deciding what type of program you're going to offer in your business.

If you're someone who struggles to show up on social media and who struggles to be consistent on social media, there is an alternative for you!
You don't have to be tethered to your phone. You don't have to stop in the middle of a fun activity with your family to take some videos for your Instagram. You don't have to be available all day to show up behind the scenes…
There is another option…there is another way. This second part of our two part series on content creation is for you!
Last week we talked about how it's not about creating content for your audience… It's about creating content for the audience that needs to hear your message. And this week, we’re going to tell you how and why social media isn’t the foundation of our business.

Today on the Business With Impact Podcast, we're going to talk about why creating what your audience wants isn't the fastest way to success. One of the goals that we set this year in our business was that we wanted to play a different game when it came to content creation.
This will be a two-part episode as we seek to answer these questions: How do we decide what we're going to do on social media? And then how do we specifically implement what we’ve created.
It’s going to be a great two episodes! Let’s dive in!

Today on the Business With Impact Podcast, we're going to talk all about how we handle problems when they come up in the business. In our business, we look at problems a lot differently than most other businesses—We actually celebrate our problems!
But I haven't always been great at how I look at problems. I would make it mean a whole lot of things about myself, about the business, and my worth that it didn’t really mean.
So, if you're reading this right now and that's you…just know that's really normal.
But I also want to tell you that when I started to approach problems differently in my business, it allowed me to grow in leadership so that my business could grow and expand quicker than I could have ever imagined!
Welcome back to the Business With Impact Podcast for 2022!
On today's episode, we're going to be tackling goal-setting and goal-achieving. We thought this was the perfect way to kick off the new year on the podcast!
There are a couple of different types of people who are reading right now…For some of you, goals make you feel really insecure because you don’t ever hit your goals. Then there’s people who sometimes hit their goals and sometimes don't. Finally, there's those of you who always crush your goals…Goal setting just comes easy for you!
…And I want to tell you right now, that no matter which one of those categories you fall into, today's episode is for you!
As an entrepreneur, have you ever found yourself so deep into the hustle game that you didn't even know how to get out of it? Maybe you even knew you needed to get out of that lifestyle, but you just didn't know where to start.
If that's you, you're not alone. So many of us entrepreneurs have found ourselves on this hamster wheel too. And there are so many of us who have gotten out of it. How?
My friend and author, Jessica Hottle, explains how in today's episode! She also tells us why the hustle lifestyle is not normal for anyone as she helps us work through how to reset our mindset around work. I'm so excited for you to listen to this episode!
If you've ever created an opt-in, program, webinar, or launch that didn't go as expected... and threw up your hands and started over - this episode is for you!
On today's episode, we're talking about the three key ingredients to an irresistible offer and how to make sure you're creating an offer your ideal client wants to invest in. Let's dive in!
Have you ever felt like you know what you're meant to be doing, but you're just not doing it?
Our guest on today's episode, Ken Coleman, was feeling that exact same way when he found himself stuck in a career that was completely unfulfilling. In his recent book, Ken draws on what he learned from his journey, as well as from coaching thousands of others, to walk us through the seven stages of really discovering and doing meaningful work.
Ken's going to talk about some of the things that he struggled with, how he overcame those struggles. And no matter what objections we struggle with that get in the way of us living out our purpose… he's going to share his best encouragement for you!
We just got back from an incredible two-day weekend at our Impact Profit Live in-person and virtual hybrid event!
And on today's episode, we're going to recap three of the biggest lessons that our attendees shared with us. I'm excited for you to learn alongside me. Let's dive in!
One of the questions I get asked all of the time is, “how do I decide what to invest in and when to invest in my business?
It can feel like a lot. Am I right? And so if you've been asking this question (and it's a good question to ask for your business), this episode is for you!
Today on the Business With Impact Podcast, I'm going to share the three questions I always ask before making any business investment decisions!
Welcome once again to the newest segment of the Business With Impact Podcast: Five Minute Favorites!
Today you're going to hear from the amazing Dr. Shannon Irvine, my friend and, who I’ve fondly dubbed, “the brain expert!” In Episode #23, Dr. Shannon talks all about how we literally have the ability to rewire our brains!
You might've heard the saying that we have to “take our thoughts captive.” Well, Dr. Shannon's going to show us how to do this practically, and step by step.
I’m so excited for you to hear how she explains it. Let’s dive in!
In this episode of The Business With Impact Podcast, we're talking to author and speaker, Christy Wright!
We discuss Christy’s NEW book: Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance!
This book is a message that Christy has been working on and living out in her own life and it's something that, I think, is so needed in every business owner's life! We've been defining life balance all wrong, and in this episode (and in Christy's book!), we discuss the n*ew way we should be defining life balance***!
Welcome once again to the newest segment of the Business With Impact Podcast: Five Minute Favorites!
In this Friday series we're taking some of the most inspirational highlights from guests we've had on the show over the years! While every guest we've had has been incredible, we're starting off with the episodes that received the most plays, comments, and feedback.
Today you're going to hear from the incredible Nicole Walters! In Episode 63, Nicole shared some of the mistakes that she sees online business owners make—from giving away too much for free, to the lies that we tell ourselves.
I, and Nicole, believe that if so many business owners could just hurdle over these common mistakes and give ourselves some grace, we’d see so much more success in our lives and businesses!
Be encouraged, listener, as you tune in today!
Welcome to Part Four of our five part series!
Today we're talking all about growing a list or getting leads from that content that we created in Part 1 and Part 2! So if you haven't yet listened to those two episodes, start there first!
We don't just want to build an list, we want to build an list of people who actually need our product, program, or service!
That's why we got into business in the first place... to help people who are struggling with the problem we know how to fix. So how do we do that? We’re talking all about that today!
Welcome back to the newest segment of the Business With Impact Podcast: Five Minute Favorites!
Today I’m excited for you to hear from my friend, Bob Heilig! At the very end of my episode with Bob, I asked him… If you could leave us with one thing, what would you share with us?
What he said is something, that honestly, we should all have on repeat over and over again: Success is not a matter of doing.
You’re going to love what he shares about this! Let's listen in...
Welcome to Part Three of our five part series!
Today we're talking all about building an audience or driving traffic to that content that we created in Part 1 and Part 2! So if you haven't yet listened to those two episodes, start there first!
We don't just want to build an audience, we want to build an audience of people who actually need our product, program, or service!
That's why we got into business in the first place...to help people who are struggling with the problem we know how to fix. So how do we do that? We’re talking all about that today!
Welcome to the newest segment of the Business With Impact Podcast!
Over the years, we've had so many incredible guests and so this month we're starting a new Five Minute Friday Favorite series where we're taking some of the most inspirational highlights from guests we've had on the show!
Today, you're going to hear not one, but two, clips from my former mastermind sister, Jasmine Star!
In these clips she's sharing the importance of having courage in your business and then what to do when you hear the word, "no." The way Jasmine has reframed these two concepts is something that is so important for every entrepreneur!
I know that today you're going to leave this episode feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to do big things in your business!
In this two-part series, we're talking all things content creation... but not just any content creation... content that converts.
If content hasn’t felt simple yet – in this two-part series of the Business With Impact Podcast we’re going to break down 3 things you can start doing to simplify your content creation – we’re talking content in as little as 30 minutes a week… but we’re also talking about content with a purpose – so that you can find the customers who need your help and lead them to your product / program / or service.
Because if you know that you’re purposed to serve others, but you can’t get your message in front of the people who need it the most – well, that’s the definition of staying stuck, right?
We can all agree that every brand / product / service that you use right now has mastered at least some ability to communicate who they are and who they serve… in a way that people get it, they want it, and they buy it.

We’re back! And I am so excited to be here recording this today. It’s been a crazy month. We received countless emails, DMs, and texts asking where I’ve been and if everything was ok…
Yes, I am… but I wasn’t… and I want to talk about that today.
On today’s Business With Impact Podcast episode, I’m going to share three lessons that being out sick and grieving the loss of one of my husband’s friends taught me and our family -- and the lessons it taught me about being even more intentional about living for my purpose - in my purpose - and on purpose -- and I’m going to share how this is changing the way we do business...
Because if you’re listening to this episode right now, I’m guessing that you want to create a business that allows for you to disconnect. A business that helps you prioritize the most important things to you - like your faith and your family - right? While serving the people who need your help the most.
And I don’t have to tell you that so often, we lose sight of these things in the day to day hustle and work-flow.
So I’m using the experiences from this past month as a time to reset - and I’m going to invite you to do the same!
Why is it that most people start a business and fail in the first 18 months? On today’s Business With Impact Podcast episode, I'm going to share with you the most important decision I made in my business that changed everything: asking for help.
I want to share some behind the scenes of what happened and three ways to help you decide what your business needs. Because if you've got a big heart to serve others and you're ready to step into that purpose, but you're having trouble getting in front of those people...That can change starting now.
One of the questions I get asked all of the time is, “how do I decide what to invest in and when to invest in my business?
It can feel like a lot. Am I right? And so if you've been asking this question (and it's a good question to ask for your business), this episode is for you!
Today on the Business With Impact Podcast, I'm going to share the three questions I always ask before making any business investment decisions!
Today on the Business With Impact Podcast we're talking all about how to build an audience...
And more importantly... how NOT to build an audience. I'm sharing the WORST strategy I heard recently, and what I'm recommend instead.
Now it may not be the "popular" opinion -- but it is the profitable one!
If you're not in our Accelerate Your Success Community, come find us at rachelmcmichael.com/accelerate.
Last week in our Accelerate Your Success Facebook group, my friend and coach, James Wedmore, came and shared his thoughts on sales, niching down, on marketing, and on success. And in today's Business With Impact podcast episode, I wanted to share a clip from that conversation that we had.
Today's episode is a short one, but I know you're going to get a lot of value from it!
Today on the Business With Impact I want to talk about this thing that we call success.
Why is it that some people seem to accomplish so much in their day? That it looks like they're checking every box off of their well-designed to do list? While others who have the same big plans, the same grand vision, and strong work ethic but at the end of the day, they are left feeling like they really didn't get much done?
If you could fully tap into your vision, and your mission, and your potential, what would that look like for you? What would that change for your business, for your family? How would life change if you were able to be more productive, if you were able to hit your goals consistently?
We’re going to talk about all of that and more today...so let’s dive in!
Why is it that some coaches and course creators can sell out their offers in a matter of minutes, while others struggle for months or even years to get their first paying customer? What is it that they've figured out that others haven't?
Today on the Business With Impact podcast, I’m going to share the three things that every online business that’s crushing it has in place.
And if you’re not getting the leads or sales that you want - then you’re probably missing one of these things. Let’s dive in!
Today on the Business With Impact podcast, I’m excited to introduce you to The eMyth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber.
The eMyth Revisited is a must-read for anyone who is even remotely considering starting a business. Michael Gerber writes this book in a narrative form.

Today on the Business With Impact podcast, I'm so excited to share my recent experience with a social media fast.
I’m diving into why I took six weeks off of social media, and what it meant for my business.
Now before we dive in, I want to explain that I didn’t go into the year planning to take six weeks away…
Changes to the privacy policies coupled with a desire to be more present with my family meant that at the beginning of 2021, I made the decision to move all of my social media to a separate device - away from my phone.
That, coupled with some personal things that were happening at the beginning of the year made it challenging for me to be able to post consistently.
And so during this “break” my team and I got back to the basics… so that we could make sure that everything we were doing was with purpose, for a purpose, and on purpose.
And here are the lessons we learned.

Tara is the founder of The Lashpreneur brand and business and she is going to talk about how she decided to niche down into her market and she's going to give you a charge for how you can really step into this next season in your business and in your life so that you can really make an impact.
On today's episode of the Business with Impact Podcast we're talking about how to know when and if to invest in your online business.
I'm breaking down the exact three questions I ask every time I'm deciding to invest - whether that's a course, a program, or even a new laptop.
Today we are celebrating the 100th episode since the launch of this podcast!
Over the last 100 episodes, we have had some incredible guest experts come and interview on the podcast and in honor of this milestone, I decided I wanted to do something a little bit different! We're going to share some clips from some of our favorite episodes. All of the guests on our podcast to date have been absolutely incredible, but we took some of our most popular episodes and some of the things that got the greatest feedback and have compiled this great “recap” episode for you!
My hope is that today you're going to leave this episode feeling inspired, motivated, excited, and ready to do big things in your business!
This week has been a week to reflect. To listen. To learn. To respond.
As we've continued to mourn and process what's happening right now, we ask: How do we respond to such a heartbreaking, devastating, tragic situation?
On today’s Business With Impact episode, we're asking some tough questions, sharing what we're learning, and talking through our response.
I’m so excited for Part Two of this special two-part mini-series of the Business With Impact podcast with James Wedmore! If you missed Part One, be sure to check that out first – there is SO much valuable content that I don’t want you to miss!
In Part Two of our interview we’re going to keep learning that mistakes most entrepreneurs make and why learning from these is so essential for the health and growth of our businesses and our personal lives.
Want to be let in on a little secret to massive growth for your business? Stop caring.
Listen along and learn why this is so essential for you as an entrepreneur and how it’s all a part of learning to step outside of our cozy little comfort zones.
For Part One of this Two Part series of the Business With Impact podcast, I'm interviewing one of my good friends (and my own business coach) James Wedmore, founder of the Mind Your Business Podcast and his flagship program, Business By Design.
One of the biggest mistakes most business owners make is caring WAY too much about what others think... and all this does is keep us in our cozy little comfort zones.
Well, you know what happens when we let fear creep in and keep us in our comfort zones? Absolutely nothing happens. Nothing happens in our businesses. Nothing happens in our own personal development.
But the growth? The success? That happens on the outside of our comfort zones. Which is why I’m so excited for you to hear today’s special two-part episode!
I’m so excited for today’s Business With Impact episode! Today we’re going to hear from Amber Brueseke from Biceps After Babies! Amber is a registered nurse, certified personal trainer, and online fitness coach who has worked with over 1,000 fitness clients helping them to work for the goals they want while loving the body they have.
Amber is going to teach us how we've probably been focusing on the wrong data points when it comes to our health and fitness and how to set goals we can actually achieve and why this matters so much!
Every year, every quarter, and every month, we here at McMichael Consulting LLC review our goals, but we do it in a unique and different way.
How? We start with priority-based goals.
On today’s Business With Impact episode, we're talking through - what is priority based living, why does it matter, and how do we do it?

I'm sharing seven fun facts... and you might be most surprised by #2 (but its lesson also has some great implications for how we approach our businesses!)
Have you ever been told that in order to have predictability in your business and with your income, you have to have a recurring revenue stream? Well on today’s Business With Impact episode, I’m going to bust that myth right out of the water!
