Someone popped into Brandi’s inbox this morning and asked, “What’s the biggest mistake beginners make when they’re trying to get their first client?”

The answer: working for free or undercharging, because you think a low price is what finally gets somebody to say yes.

It isn’t. It’s the exact thing keeping you from getting hired. In this episode, Brandi gives you real numbers, no guessing, no...

Katie's best month ever as a social media manager was $10,000. It took 40 hours a week, posting six days a week at specific times for each client, and it almost never happened twice.

Then her clients started cutting costs, and she started getting let go. "It's nothing you did." If that sentence has ever landed in your inbox, y'all, this episode is your sign.

Six months into Strategist Society, Katie has eight ad clients, works about ...

Have you ever wondered how long it actually takes to run a freelance ad management business?

Maybe you already have one and you are working your little booty off, opening your bank account thinking, “Holy bananas, I am not making enough money for how much I am working.” Maybe you are making good money and feel weird because you are not working enough, so you start inventing work. Or maybe you have not started yet and you...

Michael made $65,000 last year working 15 to 20 hours a week, after she clocked out of her full-time job.

She is not quitting that job. The benefits are good, she loves the work, and I have never once told her she should leave. What she built is a full-time income on part-time hours, and she did it with an ugly proposal and five marketing minutes a day.

In this Student Spotlight, Michael walks through the whole thing: the "expensive ...

You are not doing too little. You’re doing too little of the right things.

I work one-on-one with 60 people a week inside Strategist Society, I’ve got over 1,000 people in Conversions For Clients, and across seven years I’ve worked with more than 3,000 freelancers. Same thread every single time: the to-do list is a mile long and most of it doesn’t matter.

The online space is loud. Post daily, be on LinkedIn, n...

Ever wanted to snoop behind the scenes of a seven-figure business and see exactly what tools keep the whole thing running? Same. Brandi is nosy like that too.

In this episode, she's pulling back the curtain on her full 2026 tech stack, every piece of software she uses to run Serve Scale Soar and all seven of its revenue streams. But here's the honest part: you do not need all of it.

Let me say it loud for the people in the back. Services are the fastest path to cash, and they always will be. I will die on that hill.

In this episode, I sit down with Samantha Fine, a longtime student and Strategist Society member who has been through every phase of business. She started during the pandemic, shut it down for a dream job at Coca-Cola, got discriminated against for being a mom, had her second baby, and relaunched wi...

Eight years ago this month, I was sitting on my bathroom floor, five months postpartum, crying, googling "legit work from home jobs" so I could pay a bankruptcy attorney and still buy formula and diapers.

That was rock bottom. It was also the decision that changed my entire life.

This week is my eight-year business anniversary, and instead of a "look how far I've come" celebration post, I'm doing something different. I'm pulling you ...

Y'all, this one is going to light a fire under you.

Brittney Roberts spent over a decade as a jack-of-all-trades freelancer, strictly hourly, wearing every hat, and after childcare she was making almost nothing. One year she looked at her taxes and saw $18,000. That was the wake-up call.

In this student spotlight, Brittney shares the exact pivot that took her from $18K a year to over six figures as a freelance ad manager, all while m...

You do not toss out the plan you made. You check it.

Y'all, this spotlight episode hit different.

Lauren is a Conversions for Clients student who got made redundant in December and gave herself 3 months to make her ad management business work before she'd have to go back to corporate. By April, she was billing £6,125 with four clients, all from four completely different sources.

No fancy website. No massive audience. No "wait until I'm ready" energy. Just decision, deadline, and doing ...

You could be the best closer in the world. You could have your offer dialed in. You could be saying all the right things on every discovery call.

And you're still losing the client.

Because the problem isn't the call. The problem is what's happening before the call. And 99% of service providers, even the ones charging $5K, $10K, $15K a month, are completely missing this one page that could change their entire conversion rate.

Y'all, this episode is proof that you can be a present mom AND have a thriving business. It's not either/or. It's AND.

Laura found me in the most random way possible (let's just say it involved a Facebook mom group and me getting into it with a troll). When we first met, she was a social media manager running content for five businesses but only getting paid for two clients. She was maxed out at $2,400 a month with zero room to grow...
