Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

"How tf do you manage all of us?" That question came out of a mastermind call and it inspired this entire podcast episode! In a nutshell: I have 3 main things. They allow me to serve clients well AND be a whole person—and mom, and wife, and daughter, and friend, and all the things. To give you some context, I have 39 clients right now—15 in TDE, 13 in the TDE continuation, 9 in the mastermind, and 2 one-on-one clients. Now I've had way more than 39 clients at once in the past! But a lot of them were in programs that I had at the time that were not as hands-on. The way things are right now, my offers are high-ticket and high-touch. And I'm bringing you behind-the-scenes to show you exactly how I do it—and you can, too! Do not neglect your business just because you are so deep in serving clients. It will bite you in the butt! I promise you can do both! I do both and I know you can do both, too. Share any follow-up questions you have with me—send me a DM on Instagram.

It's far too easy for that connection between couples to slip away when you're in that building stage as a business owner. And I know I say this about everyone on the podcast, but these two… Are the reason we got pregnant. Not in a weird way! They revived our marriage in so many ways, which is what ultimately brought us our baby boys. It's WILD to see the domino effect of what this coaching did for our life. James and Angela Mitchell specifically help married entrepreneurs. Such a unique situation requires coaches who actually "get it." They not only get it—they're living it, just like we are! Angela brings over 20 years in the counseling world working with women and families, while James draws from his experience as a lifelong entrepreneur and years as a transformational coach for men and couples. Together they have this magic where they blend heart and strategy to help couples get on the same page, deepen their connection, and build a marriage that not only thrives but fuels their business success. And who knows… maybe even go on to have twins! → Get the full show notes here!

If your January motivation is already fading, or you're realizing that doing more isn't fixing what feels off in your business: this episode is for you. In this conversation, I'm walking you through the exact Gap Finder process I created for my private mastermind clients to help them identify what's actually holding their business back (hint: it's usually not what you think). Because most entrepreneurs don't have a motivation problem. They have a misdiagnosed gap. You might think you need more leads, better sales skills, or a new platform, but the real issue is often buried underneath in your messaging, positioning, or clarity around what you're known for. This episode will help you spot that domino gap: the one fix that makes everything else easier. In This Episode, We Cover: Why motivation always fades, and why that's normal The difference between the problem you think you have and the one actually blocking growth Why January feels slow for so many industries (and why February is the real reset) What "I promised myself I wouldn't invest this year" really means How trust (not money) is often the real objection behind investing How to decide what to invest in next: time, skill, coaching, or support The Gap Finder Framework I use with mastermind clients to diagnose business blind spots How to identify your domino gap: the one change that unlocks momentum everywhere else The 5 Core Business Gaps We Walk Through: Your Distinctive Edge (Messaging & Positioning): Can you clearly say what people come to you for, and why you? Your Offer Suite: What's working, what feels off, and what might be missing entirely? Marketing, Visibility & Demand: Are you getting eyes, but not conversions? Or relying too heavily on one platform? Sales & Revenue Flow: How money is actually moving (or not moving) in your business right now. Systems, Team & Capacity: Where things fall apart when you're busy, or when you can't be everywhere. We also talk about how to choose your next 90-day focus so you're not trying to fix everything at once.

[THE DISTINCTIVE EDGE CLIENT CASE STUDY] What if your marketing didn't just work… it actually made you feel more regulated? In this longer, laugh-out-loud-and-then-get-a-lump-in-your-throat conversation, Meg sits down with Tasha and Brandon (Rules & Rebellion)—burnout business strategists who support heart-centered business owners with Complex Life Circumstances (their term: CLC). If you've ever tried to follow someone's "post every day + hustle harder" blueprint and felt your nervous system slam the brakes… this episode will feel like someone finally telling the truth out loud. Tasha and Brandon share what it's like to build a business while navigating layered realities—ADHD, parenting, perimenopause, chronic stress, flare-ups, caregiving, life transitions—without pretending discipline alone is the answer. They talk about why so many business strategies feel like "duct tape on a Lamborghini," and what changed when they anchored their message in a clear framework and values-led positioning that actually fits real life. We also get into tangible results: how they used a relationship-based private invite strategy to bring in $6,000 more in sales between December and January than ever before, and why the bigger win wasn't just money—it was creating systems that made the business feel safer and more sustainable. And if you've ever thought, "I can't keep doing this… but I also can't not do this work," Tasha's closing message is basically a mic drop. In this episode, we cover: What "Complex Life Circumstances (CLC)" actually means—and why it changes how you market and sell Why most strategies feel like duct tape on a Lamborghini for high-capacity people with layered lives The difference between stabilizing your nervous system vs just soothing it How a framework gives you one clear way to explain what you do (and reduces daily decision fatigue) What changed when they stopped "spraying the internet" with content and started selling with a clear process How private invites work when you're not trying to be templated, pushy, or weird The underrated result: building systems that help you have a business and a life Why your message can't survive on "$27/month energy" if you're here to make real impact How autonomy inside a program creates better results than copy/paste "be like me" coaching Memorable moments / quotes: "It felt like duct tape on a Lamborghini." "It was energizing versus depleting." "I can't not do this work." "You can't survive on $27 a month if you're here to deliver a real message." "Meg never asked us to be her—she asked us to get out of our own way."
