Show Notes

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. Today, Jenni is with intuitive coach and retreat leader Rita Pira, a Business by Design success story who turned a growing Clubhouse audience into a thriving digital business. What started with Rita simply showing up and sharing her gifts quickly evolved into a full coaching practice, viral content, and sold-out retreats, including an annual transformational experience in Bali. In this episode, Rita and Jenni also have a real-time business breakthrough moment, tackling Rita's fear of running paid ads and walking through exactly how to turn authentic, heartfelt content into a simple, powerful ad that converts! This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business. Because when you see someone just a few steps ahead of what you're doing, something powerful happens. James's biggest free training of the year is LIVE… The Business Breakthrough Experience.

What the heck do you do you do when the thing that used to light you up just doesn't anymore? When you feel like you're staring into a future that looks like nothing but uncertainty and you can't figure out which direction to go? I brought back my friend and high-performance coach Brad Bizjack for one of the most honest, rich conversations we've ever had on this show. We share the real meaning of fulfillment, the trap that keeps high achievers stuck in a cycle of burnout and delayed happiness, and what it actually looks like to architect a life on your own terms. This one is all about doing a "life audit" and I think it's going to hit home for a lot of you! If this conversation resonates, Brad is running his free five-day life audit challenge starting October 19th called The Success Accelerator.
