Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

If life has been lifing hard lately and you're wondering, "How am I supposed to keep showing up in my business like this?"…this episode is going to blow your mind in the most practical way.

Today I'm joined by Jordan Gill, creator of Systems Saved Me, longtime VIP Day queen, and the systems brain you wish you had on retainer.

This week's episode is less strategy breakdown and more honest, behind-the-scenes truth of entrepreneurship during the messy seasons of life.

We just moved into a new house with twin toddlers, one of them was throwing up for almost 48 hours, our routines were wrecked, and everything felt chaotic…and yet sales STILL poured into my mastermind behind the scenes.

BECAUSE of the work I did before l...

If you think you need a perfectly curated calendar, a quiet house, or a stress-free season to pull off a profitable launch…this episode is going to feel like a warm, lovingly sarcastic slap of truth.

Because this week?
I moved.
My house was chaos.
My twins were wild.
My to-do list was feral.

In this solo episode, I'm breaking down three industry beliefs I used to swear by that quietly killed my launches, and the shifts that helped me convert higher with fewer leads. 

We'll talk about why "giving more value" doesn't work in 2025, why launches aren't actually a numbers game, and how sharing more of your real life (strategically) leads to deeper trust and more buyers. I'm also giving a quick behi...

This one's part pep talk, part wake-up call, and part strategy session.

If you've been feeling off about your content or frustrated that the same strategies that used to work suddenly…don't, this episode will hit home.

It's not that Instagram's broken, your list is cold, or people "aren't buying right now."
