Creating Million Dollar Movements with Bridget James Ling [Ep 72] 25:44

18 hours тому25:44

25:44

In this episode of Beyond the Systems podcast, I chat with Bridget James Ling, the Freedom Queen and queen of million dollar movements. Having attended her Freedom Queen Live event in November 2024, I was excited to dive deeper into what makes a movement truly work and how Bridget has built hers. Bridget shares her journey from quitting her New York City job in 2020 and booking a one-way ticket to Costa Rica, to building a multimillion-dollar business centered around community. We explore the fundamental difference between a coaching business and a movement—where a movement has "a soul of its own" and creates a self-compounding mechanism that brings people together toward one shared vision. We also discuss: How Taylor Swift has created a movement (Swifties!) while other talented artists may just have businesses Why in-person events like Freedom Queen Live create deeper connections and transformational results for attendees The exciting updates for Freedom Queen Live 2025 (November 20-23), including specialized sessions focused on ads, funnels, and even a new "Freedom King" session for men Bridget's business systems approach: balancing "passive channels" (like email sequences and podcast content) with "active channels" (live programs) How Bridget's simple, templated systems allow her to launch programs in just 20 minutes that would take others weeks What struck me most was Bridget's emphasis on building community and belonging. As she puts it: "When someone feels like they belong, they're never going to leave. And when someone feels like they belong and they're seen and heard, they can get a transformation that is far bigger than if they just bought into someone's coaching business." If you're building an online business and want to create something that moves beyond just transactions, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about community, connection, and creating your own movement. Resources from this episode: Freedom Queen Live 2025 (November 20-23) More about Bridget James Ling: Bridget James Ling, known as the "Freedom Queen", is a business mentor and community builder who helps ambitious women create businesses with both purpose and profit. After quitting her corporate job in New York City in 2020, Bridget booked a one-way ticket to Costa Rica where she met her now-fiancé and began building her multimillion-dollar business. Drawing from her community-centered upbringing, she created Freedom Queen—a movement rather than just a coaching business—that focuses on connection, belonging, and transformation. Beyond her business success, Bridget is passionate about helping women step into their authentic power and build movements that move people toward shared visions, rather than simply selling coaching services. Her straight-talking, no-nonsense style resonates with entrepreneurs who want to make "a disturbing amount of money" while creating meaningful impact in their communities.

How I'm Saving 5-10 Hours a Week Using AI in My Business [Ep 68] 29:09

29 днів тому29:09

29:09

Episode Description: In this episode of Beyond the Systems podcast, I'm diving into how I've been intentionally using AI in my business for the past six months—and it has completely changed the game! I was super skeptical at first (thinking AI would either take over my job or be useless), but a major mindset shift happened when I started seeing AI not as replacing a person but as enhancing tasks I was already doing. I'm breaking down the three main areas where AI has transformed my processes: content creation, client work, and team management. You'll discover how I went from spending 3-5 hours per week creating content for just Instagram and my podcast to producing twice as much content (Instagram, LinkedIn, multiple weekly emails, podcast, and blog posts) in under 2 hours! I've found that AI works best when you already have established systems and a clear brand voice. That's why I'm sharing exactly how I built my knowledge base in Claude AI, how I repurpose my podcast content across multiple platforms, and why starting with what's already taking up most of your time is the perfect entry point for implementing AI. That moment when I realized I didn't have to choose between consistency and time freedom was game-changing. Now I can maintain my content schedule even during busy client weeks without sacrificing quality or burning out. If you've been curious about practical, realistic ways to incorporate AI into your service-based business, this episode gives you the exact roadmap I've followed to save 5-10 hours every single week!

Episode Description: In this episode, I break down why your tech stack might be simpler than you think. Whether you're currently running your business straight from your inbox or drowning in a sea of disconnected tools, I'll show you how to build the essential foundation you actually need. I share the real talk about why the transition from $5k to $15k months is such a crucial turning point in your business systems. Most entrepreneurs I work with hit this wall around $8-10k months - that's when you realize manually managing everything isn't sustainable anymore, but you also don't need 40 different tools to scale. You'll learn: Why more tools doesn't equal better systems (and when to keep it simple vs. when to upgrade) The four core tech foundations every $15k month business needs How to avoid the common mistake of choosing tech before having systems in place My grocery store analogy for tech shopping (because we've all made the mistake of shopping hungry without a list!) Plus, I get real about why revenue can be a helpful indicator of your systems needs - not because of the money itself, but because it tells me how much you've got on your plate and whether you're ready to refine your processes.

The Evolution of Quiz Marketing: Why Fun Quizzes Are Dead and What's Working in 2025 with Josh Hayman, Co-Founder of Interact [Ep 65] 46:28

7 weeks тому46:28

46:28

In this episode of Beyond the Systems, I interview Josh Haynam, co-founder and CEO of Try Interact, a platform for creating quizzes. We explore how quizzes have evolved from simple personality tests to powerful tools for meaningful customer engagement. Josh shares how the quiz landscape dramatically shifted in 2024, moving away from viral "what shrimp are you?" style quizzes to more intentional, value-driven experiences that help solve specific problems. Some key moments from the episode: "Things change slowly and then all at once" - Josh perfectly captures how quiz marketing transformed in 2024. The days of 5-question viral Buzzfeed-style quizzes are over. Today's successful quizzes create personalized journeys through your content and expertise. Josh breaks down an excellent example of a modern quiz - an English language assessment with 13 thoughtfully crafted questions that demonstrates the creator's expertise while mapping to specific pain points. Each result delivers a customized content journey addressing the quiz-taker's exact needs. When asked whether quiz creators should focus on being positive/affirming or pointing out what's wrong, Josh reveals that in 2025, people overwhelmingly want quizzes to identify their problems first. As he notes, "If you don't start by acknowledging that something is off, I'm not going to listen to you." The conversation dives deep into the psychology of asking questions and why many businesses overcomplicate quiz creation instead of simply recreating their most helpful customer conversations. For business owners considering adding quizzes to their marketing mix, Josh emphasizes that successful quizzes sit at the intersection of three elements: a compelling topic (like personality or spirituality), personal relevance to the individual taking it, and a clear connection to your business offerings. Together we discuss the rise of branching logic quizzes - while they require more backend work (sometimes mapping out 128 different possible outcomes!), they deliver an almost magical experience where just 4-5 targeted questions can lead to pinpoint accurate results. As Josh shares, nothing beats personal conversations for conversion rates. Only turn to automation tools like quizzes when you've had enough customer interactions to truly understand the journey. This episode is perfect for business owners looking to understand how quizzes can create meaningful connections with their audience while delivering real value. Josh's conversation provides both strategic insights and practical tips for creating quizzes that resonate in 2025's more intentional digital landscape.

In this episode, I'm diving into a super interesting client case study about a fitness coach who came to me totally maxed out with managing over 20 one-on-one clients. She loved her work and her clients, but was drowning in admin tasks and couldn't even think about taking on another client, let alone launching the group program she dreamed about for 2025. I break down exactly how we transformed her chaotic Google spreadsheet situation into a streamlined system that actually works. Here's what we covered: Why her business was actually more scalable than she thought (hint: it's all about how you structure your offers!) The three-phase solution we implemented to help her get her sanity back My "clean house" approach to systems (because trying to grow a messy business is like inviting people over to a cluttered house - sometimes you need to tidy up first!) The real reason why task-switching is killing your productivity (and what to do about it) I also share my thoughts on why randomly creating SOPs isn't always the answer (even though it feels productive - I see you trying!) and what to do instead. This episode is perfect for you if you're: A service provider or coach feeling overwhelmed by client management Someone who loves 1:1 work but wants to make it more sustainable Ready to stop working IN your business and start working ON it Sometimes the most scalable solution isn't a fancy new tool or automation - it's just getting really clear on your systems first.

In this episode of the Beyond the Systems podcast, Madison Tinder talks about her journey in transitioning to a membership model as her main business offer. She shares her experiences, challenges, and strategies for successfully growing her membership community, emphasizing the importance of structure, engagement, and the role of social media platforms like TikTok in driving growth. The conversation highlights common mistakes made in membership models and offers actionable insights for those looking to create or improve their own memberships. In this conversation, Madison shares her insights on managing and marketing memberships effectively. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, taking time for launches, and focusing on problem-solving rather than just community. She discusses her commitment structure for memberships, the expansion of her offerings, and the systems she uses to manage her business. The discussion provides valuable takeaways for anyone looking to start or improve their membership-based business. Takeaways Madison pivoted to a membership model after years of high-ticket offers. She focused on making her membership the signature offer of her business. The transition allowed her to grow a community and scale her membership. TikTok became a crucial platform for marketing and growing her audience. Engagement in memberships comes from structured pathways and not just community interaction. Many memberships fail because they lack a clear curriculum or pathway for members. The importance of fun and engaging activities in memberships. Personalized check-ins help keep members engaged and remind them of their commitment. It's essential to set boundaries in membership support to avoid burnout. Offering extra value in memberships can foster a stronger community. Great boundaries are essential for managing membership engagement. Taking time for membership launches is crucial for success. Understanding what you offer inside the membership is key. Community should be seen as a byproduct of the membership experience. Memberships must solve ongoing problems for members. A minimum commitment period helps ensure member engagement. Trial memberships often lead to cancellations without commitment. Selling community alone is no longer effective in marketing. Expanding offerings can enhance business growth. Simple systems can streamline membership management. More about Madison Tinder: Madison is a business mentor & marketing educator who focuses on helping multi-passionate entrepreneurs build personal brands that help them grow their businesses. She ran an e-commerce business for 5 years and has hosted 7 retreats around the US. She is the host of Out Of This Niche Podcast and Multi-Passionate School Of Business community.

In this episode of Beyond the Systems, I discuss the five hidden tech gaps that can hinder the scaling of group programs. I emphasize the importance of having proper systems in place to manage client onboarding, community engagement, scheduling, and client tracking. By addressing these gaps, coaches and service providers can create a more efficient and effective group program experience, ultimately leading to better client satisfaction and business growth. Takeaways Scaling requires proper systems in place. Many coaches struggle with transitioning from one-on-one to group models. Automation can alleviate administrative burdens. A messy onboarding process can lead to client dissatisfaction. Community management is crucial for group program success. Clear expectations in onboarding can reduce overwhelm. Shared calendars streamline scheduling for group calls. Tracking client progress is essential for scalability. Using the right tools can fill tech gaps effectively. Continuous improvement is key to successful group programs.
