Google’s results are a scoreboard, and in 2026 the only way to win is to deliver what the current winners don’t. We sat down with Ty from Everything Digital Marketing to unpack the strategies that reliably drive rankings and revenue right now—no fluff, no recycled tips. From intent-first research to experience-rich content, we break down how to choose battles AI can’t win and how to turn your unique perspective into authority and clicks. We start by mapping the biggest shift: if AI can answer it fast, don’t write it. Instead, chase queries that demand judgment, local nuance, or lived experience. Ty shares practical ways to evaluate a SERP before you draft, spot depth signals, and decide whether to publish, pivot, or pass. We dig into building trust with proof—expert bios, transparent methods, case studies—and why personality is not a nice-to-have but a differentiator that keeps readers engaged and coming back. Then we tear down persistent myths. One-size-fits-all advice fails because SEO is like fitness: the right plan depends on where you are and what you need. Ty outlines a simple testing cadence you can run on clusters of similar pages, how to read leading indicators without overreacting, and why he follows what Google rewards instead of what Google says. For local and professional services, we highlight the outsized impact of a complete Google Business Profile and rich service pages. For creators and publishers, we offer frameworks for turning generic listicles into decision-making guides, comparisons, and itineraries grounded in real experience. If you’re ready to stop chasing trends and start shipping content that ranks because it’s genuinely better, this conversation is your blueprint.

Proven SEO Tips to Improve Your Google Rankings in 2026

Your goals aren’t the problem; your accountability system is. We explore the real reason 90-day plans gather dust and outline a practical path to turn written intentions into shipped work. Drawing on years of helping founders grow and scale, we break down how clarity, cadence, and community combine to create dependable momentum—even when motivation dips. First, we get honest about why self-accountability alone stalls progress. Without external feedback, it’s easy to lose sight of what moves the needle, extend deadlines quietly, and confuse motion with results. We reframe accountability as guidance, not guilt, and show how small, consistent wins build the confidence and energy to keep going. From defining a single measurable 90-day outcome to choosing three lever tasks that drive it, you’ll learn how to create focus that survives daily noise. Then we unpack the three pillars of real accountability. Pillar one: a clear, shared goal so collaborators can help you ignore distractions. Pillar two: simple, reliable check-ins that track shipped work and surface roadblocks early. Pillar three: community and collaboration, where peers offer models, troubleshoot bottlenecks, and help you turn overwhelming projects into doable steps. We talk through picking an accountability partner whose strengths complement yours and how to use short weekly touchpoints for maximum effect. Finally, we walk through the structure of a mastermind that keeps founders executing: recurring meetings, hot seats for targeted problem-solving, and a culture that celebrates completions. You’ll leave with a lightweight system you can start today and a playbook for finding the right room to grow. If your plan has been waiting for a spark, this is the match. If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a builder who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more entrepreneurs find the show.

How to Hold Yourself Accountable for Your Goals

Tired of saying it’s faster if I do it myself? We dive into a practical, human way to break the bottleneck and build a business that runs with you, not because of you. Our guest, Brittany Bettini of I Need a VA, lays out a straightforward blueprint: start with a life audit, delegate low-joy work, and capture your “pie recipe” in clear SOPs so results stay consistent even when hands change. We get honest about control, especially the hyper-independence many women entrepreneurs carry into their businesses. Brittany shares how she moved from doing everything to doing only what lights her up—coaching, teaching, creating—while VAs handle operations, inboxes, research, scheduling, design assets, and home tasks like groceries and laundry. The key isn’t just offloading tasks; it’s choosing what to keep based on joy, genius, and revenue impact, then backing the rest with documentation that a new hire can follow on day one. You’ll hear how to use Loom and AI to turn screen recordings into step-by-step SOPs, why in-house virtual assistants (especially experienced Filipino VAs) protect your IP and culture, and how to structure training so your team writes and updates the manuals as they work. We cover mistakes to avoid—like over-relying on agencies for core functions—and the management rhythms that keep quality high without micromanaging: clear outcomes, visible dashboards, and monthly SOP reviews. Think of delegation like a pendulum: initial training takes time and money, then the swing returns with compounding freedom, focus, and revenue. If you’re ready to stop being the bottleneck and start being the leader, this conversation gives you the tools and the nudge to move. Read more <a href='https://jennymelrose.com/how-to-delegate-tasks'>HERE</a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/702151/support">Support the show</a>

How to Delegate Tasks in Your Small Business with Brittany Bettini

Ever feel like you’re building in a vacuum while the people closest to you don’t quite understand what you do? We dig into why environment outperforms motivation and how carefully choosing your “power five” can change the trajectory of your business. Rather than grinding harder alone, we map out how to engineer a circle that elevates your beliefs, sharpens accountability, and gives you the shared energy that makes hard goals feel doable. We break down the law of averages in practical terms and explore the three big transfers that happen in any group: beliefs, accountability, and momentum. You’ll hear the roles to include—an encourager who keeps your courage intact, a collaborator who shares tactics and opens doors, and an expander who sits a few steps ahead and normalizes your next level. Instead of chasing status, we show why complementary strengths matter more: email strategy from one person, YouTube growth from another, keyword research from a third, podcast audience building from a fourth. That mix becomes a composite mentor, and it beats any single playbook. Isolation has hidden costs: dwindling inspiration, slower feedback, and missed opportunities. We share how to avoid the isolation loop, why no one scales alone, and how to leverage second‑degree networks for partnerships, list growth, and faster iteration across any niche. If you’ve been thinking, “No one gets my business,” this conversation gives you a blueprint to find the right rooms and make progress feel inevitable.

You are Who You Surround Yourself With

Tax stress doesn’t start in April—it starts when we ignore the basics. We sit down with Rose, best-selling author of Add a Zero, to turn anxiety into a simple, repeatable system that keeps your books clean and your tax bill smaller. From hiring an affordable bookkeeper to building monthly routines, we walk through the exact steps that make compliance easy and strategy possible. We dig into the power of clean data: connecting your accounts to QuickBooks, letting a pro categorize your transactions, and answering a short monthly list of questions so your P&amp;L stays accurate. Then we layer in automation using project tools like Asana—recurring tasks for contractor 1099s, retirement contributions before the cutoff, and a post-filing strategy session with your CPA. The result is less guesswork, fewer surprises, and more time to focus on work that grows the business. Rose breaks down the tax-savvy retirement options many entrepreneurs skip. Learn how a solo 401k can combine employee and profit-sharing contributions toward a high annual limit, why a SEP IRA might fit certain team setups, and how a defined benefit pension plan can unlock six-figure, tax-deductible contributions for high earners. We also cover structure choices, salary versus distributions, and the low-hanging savings a good accountant will spot when you bring organized numbers and smart questions. If you’re ready to stop scrambling and start saving, this conversation gives you the playbook: simple systems, clear roles for your bookkeeper and CPA, and proven strategies to keep more of what you earn. Subscribe, share with a founder friend, and leave a review with the tax question you want us to tackle next.Read more <a href='https://jennymelrose.com/preparing-for-tax-season'>HERE</a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/702151/support">Support the show</a>
