Clarity Over Guesswork: The CEO-Level Questions You Should Be Asking
What if the only thing standing between you and your next big leap in business is how you see your business?
I’m joined by powerhouse business strategist and five-time Forbes business coach Jessica Marx. Together, we unpack what it really takes to scale with clarity, confidence, and profitability. Whether you’re currently bringing in $250K and aiming for $500K, or already eyeing seven figures, Jessica shares the same audit strategies she uses with 7- and 8-figure clients — but tailored for where you are right now.
You’ll learn how to build an ascension model from your existing offers, create scalable systems (even with a tiny team), and adopt the mindset shifts that high-level founders embrace to keep growing. This conversation is packed with practical tips and thought-provoking perspective shifts designed to help you make confident decisions and scale with intention.
If you’ve been unsure where to focus your time, energy, or hiring efforts, this episode is your roadmap to scaling smarter — not harder.
