Your business is landing clients, your calendar is full, and the money should be flowing — but behind the scenes, it’s a scramble to stay on top of your business’ finances. You’re in a panic when tax season rolls around, and you’re not sure how much you should *actually* be paying yourself as the business owner. You’re not alone!

In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the money moves every service-based online business owner should know when you’re scaling to multi-6-figures in annual revenue. These are the exact strategies we use (and teach our clients!) to help you grow sustainably, increase your profit margins, and *actually* feel in control of your business finances.

No financial shame spirals. Just simple, strategic money moves that will finally give you the financial clarity and confidence to lead your business well.

In this episode, we cover:

• The most common money mistakes we see service-based online business owners make (hint: it starts with being proactive, not reactive, with your business’ finances!)
  

• How to actually use your finances to make smart CEO-level decisions (if you’re unsure how to *actually* make decisions from the Profit & Loss Statement your bookkeeper gives you - this is for you!)
  

• The 3 financial habits that helped us scale to $6M in revenue – yep, we learned these habits the hard way, so YOU don’t have to!
  

• The key financial numbers you should be looking at every month to assess the financial “health” of your business — (and, ofc, how to easily track these)
  

It’s time to stop winging it with your business’ finances — and start making intentional money moves that fuel your next season of growth!

You’ve grown a successful business as a solopreneur — but now, you’re craving more space, more scalability… and more freedom.

So the big question is: Is it time to build an agency?

In this episode of The Freedom-Filled Life™ Podcast, we’re breaking down what it actually looks like to transition from solopreneur to agency owner — and how to know if this is the next right move for your business.

We’re diving into the real fears (hello profit margins and hiring headaches!), the misconceptions (spoiler: you don’t need a huge team!), and the freedom that comes when you build your business to support your actual lifestyle goals — whether that’s more time with family, extended vacations, or simply shutting your laptop at 5 PM. 😅

Whether you’ve thought about building an agency or you’re just burnt out from doing everything yourself — this episode is packed with honest insights, strategic next steps, and personal stories to help you decide whether transitioning to an agency model is for you!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The mindset shifts that need to happen to move from doer → delegator → visionary CEO

• Common fears around agency models (and how to overcome them)

• How to make your first hire without sacrificing profits or quality

• The truth about profit margins — and how to price your offers for growth

• Why a small team might be the secret to big freedom

• How one client increased her revenue 127% while only working 7 hours a week

And psst…we’re also sharing our favorite tool to help you map out profitable services + team roles — so you’re never guessing whether an offer will actually support your bottom line.

🎧 Tune in now to learn how to build a lean, profitable, and purpose-driven agency that gives you back your time — and your life.

Today’s episode is packed with refreshing truth bombs, mindset-shifting moments, and practical advice for building a business that supports your life — not the other way around.

We’re joined by the incredible Sam Vander Wielen — attorney-turned-entrepreneur, host of the On Your Terms® podcast, author of When I Start My Business, I’ll Be Happy, and founder of the multi-seven-figure legal template shop serving over 350,000 online business owners (no big deal 👏).

We dive deep into what it really looks like to grow a profitable online business and embrace your Part-Time CEO era. From setting strong financial foundations to mastering your mindset, Sam shares her personal journey with us — including navigating grief, brain surgery, and burnout — and how those experiences shaped the way she runs her life-first, values-aligned business today.

In this episode, we explore:

• The mindset shift that will change how you approach success in your business
• How to stop tying your self-worth to your revenue (yep, even when you're scaling)
• Whether you’re a “hummingbird” or a “jackhammer” — and how that affects your business
• Smart, simple financial strategies to set your business up for long-term growth
• Why building an “owned audience” is everything (and how to protect your focus while you do it)
• What it really means to scale with abundance — not scarcity

Whether you're in the early stages or scaling to multi-six-figures, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, inspired, and more confident about doing business your way.

APPLICATIONS OPEN: Our Scale with Purpose Mastermind program is officially OPEN again for public enrollment! Limited spots left.
