Laying Bricks in Q3: Sales, Systems, Team Changes, and Stepping Away Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

What if the thing you didn’t want to do in your business turned out to be exactly what you needed?

Welcome to my Q3 2026 quarterly review—where I turn the business inside out and share the lessons behind the wins, messy moments, and unexpected opportunities.

This quarter, I stepped back into sales calls and discovered that sometimes the best marketing research isn’t another spreadsheet or strategy session—it’s listening to your customers. I also confronted a major shift I’ve made as a CEO: instead of quickly fixing problems, I’m asking, “What system can we build so we don’t have to solve this again?”

I’m also sharing what happened when I walked into a room of wildly successful founders feeling like they were playing chess while I showed up with…marbles, why I took nearly two weeks completely off, and the uncomfortable question I’ve been asking myself:

If the business only succeeds because I’m constantly driving it forward, have I built a business…or a fan club?

Q3 reminded me that growth doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes it means listening more closely, building better systems, playing your own game, and having the courage to step away.

Friend, the bricks you’re laying today might just become the breakthrough you recognize tomorrow.

How to Keep Creating, Growing, and Moving When Business Feels Hard Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

Have you ever looked at your business and thought, “WHY is this so dang hard?”

The content isn’t performing. The idea didn’t work. The decision you were sure was right…wasn’t. Friend, I’ve been there.

But somewhere along the way, I realized something: Building a business isn’t just about becoming a better marketer, CEO, or entrepreneur. It’s about becoming a different version of YOU.

Recently, a listener pointed out that in two completely different podcast conversations—with Emily Ford and Ken Coleman—I kept coming back to the same idea: entrepreneurship, business, and content creation are some of the greatest forms of personal development.

Because the hard parts? They aren’t interruptions to the journey. They ARE the journey.

In this episode, I’m sharing pieces of those conversations and getting into what entrepreneurship really requires: hearing “no” and continuing anyway, experimenting without knowing the outcome, listening when you don’t have the answers, and creating again when something flops.

Because your business isn’t only something you’re building.

Your business is building YOU.

So instead of asking, “Why is this happening?” maybe the better question is: “Who is this requiring me to become?”

Click play to hear all of this and:

[05:25] Why building a business might be the greatest personal development you’ll ever do

[09:25] How real conversations turn social media content into sales

[18:56] Why you shouldn’t be embarrassed to try hard

[20:21] How your personal brand creates a moat around your business

[22:46] How to keep creating content when you’re burned out

[29:39] How to stop letting imposter syndrome decide what you do next

[31:24] Why you have to let the market judge your work

[33:40] How entrepreneurship exposes what you haven’t healed

3 Ways to Move From Avoidance Into Action Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

→ If you want to learn more about The Consistent $10K DM me, @jasminestar, the word METHOD. ←

↓

Can I call us out for a second?

Sometimes the thing slowing down our business isn’t that we don’t know what to do…it’s that we’re avoiding what we KNOW we need to do.

Oof. I know.

In this episode, I’m sharing a conversation from inside the Consistent 10K community about one of the sneakiest threats to business growth: avoidance.

I’m breaking down how to identify the emotion underneath your avoidance—whether it’s embarrassment, rejection, disappointment, or judgment—and how to move forward anyway.

And friend, I’ve lived this.

I once went ALL IN trying to collaborate with a massive business podcast. I hired a videographer, created custom content, built a website, sent a gift…and then got FLAT. OUT. GHOSTED.

But here’s what I learned: People don’t think about our failures nearly as much as WE think about our failures.

So if you’ve been avoiding creating the content, sending the DM, choosing your niche, or taking that next uncomfortable step, this episode is your loving kick in the pants.

You don’t need to become fearless.

You need to identify what you’re avoiding, make the next step smaller, and move while you’re scared.

Let’s move.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:00] Why avoidance might be the biggest thing slowing down your business

[02:06] Why calming your nervous system can help you actually hear what you need

[03:03] How to tell the difference between “I don’t know how” and “I’m avoiding it”

[05:20] Why successful entrepreneurs take action even when they’re scared

[06:35] How going ALL IN can expose the fear you’ve been avoiding

[07:29] Why asking “What emotion am I avoiding?” can reveal what’s really stopping you

[08:42] How to handle rejection when you put yourself out there and get ghosted

[09:57] Why making your next action smaller helps your brain move through overwhelm

The 3 Business Lessons My Greatest Mentor Taught Me Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

Have you ever had someone believe in you before you fully believed in yourself?

For me, that person was my mentor, Susan.

I first discovered Susan on Clubhouse while I was building Social Curator and trying to figure out the world of SaaS. After months of listening to her advice, I finally worked up the courage to ask her a question—and what she shared helped me raise $555,000 in less than an hour.

But the money isn’t what changed my life. Her belief in me did.

In this episode, I’m sharing the business lessons Susan taught me about focusing on the plan instead of constantly reacting to problems, deciding what to keep, delegate, or let go, and why diluted focus creates diluted results.

And then? EXECUTE.

Because ideas and strategies are great, but they don’t change a business until we act on them.

This episode is also much more personal. I share what happened when Susan unexpectedly entered palliative care and the incredible gift of getting to tell her—in person—how profoundly her mentorship changed my life.

Friend, this episode is about business, but it’s also about something bigger: Tell people what they mean to you. Use what they taught you. And pass it forward.

Click play to hear the lessons from one of the greatest mentors I’ve ever had—and why I believe her impact doesn’t stop with me.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:00] Why having someone believe in you can completely change your trajectory

[00:56] How I accidentally found the mentor who would transform my business

[01:48] How one piece of Susan's advice helped me raise $555,000 in under an hour

[03:22] Why founders need to give themselves credit for what's already working

[05:20] How to stop reacting to problems and build around your 12-month plan

[06:29] How to decide what to keep, delegate, or completely let go

[07:14] Why execution matters more than another great idea or strategy

[32:05] Why I finally told my mentor exactly what her belief in me meant

The One Skill That Makes Entrepreneurs Unstoppable Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Do you know someone who can just…figure it out?

Not enough money, time, information, or resources? Somehow, someway, they MAKE. IT. HAPPEN.

There’s a word for this quality: agency.

And after spending years around successful entrepreneurs, I’ve become convinced that self-agency is one of the most important qualities a business owner can develop.

Because business WILL business. A launch won’t go according to plan. Your website will crash. The algorithm will change. Someone will drop the ball.

The question isn’t whether something unexpected will happen. It’s: What will you do next?

In this episode, I’m breaking down three ways to strengthen your self-agency: ownership, action, and responsibility. I also share a personal story about Dr. Gabrielle Lyon that completely changed how I think about refusing to accept a dead end.

Because self-agency doesn’t mean believing you can control everything.

It means believing that no matter what happens, you can control your next move.

Press play to learn how to stop waiting, start moving, and become the entrepreneur who figures it out.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:00] Why “making it happen” might be the most valuable entrepreneurial trait you can develop

[00:52] How self-agency determines whether you wait for circumstances to change or create your next move

[01:56] Why successful business owners find another way when the original plan stops working

[02:52] How Dr. Gabrielle Lyon showed me what extraordinary agency looks like in real life

[05:46] How to assess your self-agency by examining ownership instead of blame

[06:51] Why taking action before you feel completely ready creates clarity

[07:54] How faster decision-making can strengthen your agency

[08:45] Why changing the questions you ask yourself changes what you believe is possible

Stop Being Afraid to Talk About Money: Building Wealth, Confidence, and a Business Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

For most of my life, we did NOT talk about money. Like…at all.

So when I entered the online business world and heard entrepreneurs openly discussing revenue, investing, and financial goals? Your girl was SHOOK.

It took me years to realize something that completely changed my relationship with money: Money isn’t good or bad. Money is a tool.

In this conversation with financial feminist Tori Dunlap, we go beyond money to talk about entrepreneurship, fear of failure, and recognizing the skills you already have that could become a business.

We also dig into why a saturated market doesn’t mean there isn’t room for you. Because people don’t just buy the cake—they buy from the baker. They don’t just buy the photographs—they hire the photographer.

Your perspective, personality, experiences, and values are part of what makes your business different.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I to do this?” or “What if I fail?” this conversation is for you.

Talk about the money. Ask the question. Share what you know. Start the business.

Friend, there’s room for you.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:00] Why talking about money can feel taboo—and how normalizing the conversation changes everything

[01:46] How seeing money as a tool instead of a savior can transform the relationship with wealth

[03:25] Why risking failure can be better than living with regret

[04:30] How to recognize skills that could already be generating income

[05:26] Why a saturated market doesn’t mean there isn’t room for another business

[07:01] How human connection influences buying decisions and builds trust

[07:56] How to show up even when there’s fear of judgment

[08:09] Why building something meaningful is worth the risk of other people’s opinions

The $500K Skill Every Woman Should Learn With Natalie Dawson Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

There are certain conversations that challenge you to think bigger about what's possible—and this is one of them.

In this episode, I'm joined by entrepreneur, author, and Cardone Ventures President Natalie Dawson for a candid conversation about money, confidence, entrepreneurship, and the skills required to create extraordinary success.

Natalie shares her belief that if you don't currently have a skill capable of generating $500,000 a year, your next goal should be developing one.

We also dive into radical ownership, working with family, building confidence through competence, and why external validation can never become the foundation of your self-worth.

Whether you're building a business, pursuing a bigger goal, or simply ready for your next level of growth, this conversation will leave you inspired to take action.

The Truth Behind Building an 8-Figure Business (That I Never Planned to Say Out Loud) Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you know I love talking about business strategy, marketing, leadership, and scaling. But every once in a while, a conversation takes me somewhere much deeper.

This is one of those conversations.

When Leanne Lopez Mosley invited me onto her podcast, I expected we'd talk about entrepreneurship and content creation. We did—but she also asked me questions I'd never answered publicly before.

We talk about authenticity versus oversharing, why I don't actually love creating content (but love what it makes possible), how growing up with scarcity shaped my relationship with success, why I walked away from law school without even owning a camera, and the identity shifts required to build an eight-figure business.

I also share what surfaced during a week-long solo retreat that changed how I think about trust, leadership, marriage, and becoming the next version of myself.

If you've ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes of building a business—and the internal work that growth requires—I hope this conversation reminds you that success isn't just about better strategies. Sometimes it's about becoming the person capable of carrying the life you're building.

And yes… after all that, Leanne and I head into the kitchen to make my famous guacamole.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:00] Why opening up about the things I usually keep private changed how I think about connection, leadership, and building trust online.

[03:44] How the strongest entrepreneurs survive every algorithm change by mastering the fundamentals instead of chasing every new tactic.

[09:26] Why growing up with scarcity can unconsciously cap your growth—and the mindset work required to break through those invisible ceilings.

[15:41] The unlikely story of leaving law school, starting with almost nothing, and accidentally building a personal brand before "personal branding" was even a thing.

[26:59] How to create meaningful content, protect your peace, and avoid the burnout that comes from oversharing online.

[33:04] The leadership lessons I'm learning while building an eight-figure business—and why trusting your team is harder than hiring one.

[42:00] The emotional realization that surfaced during a solo retreat and how learning to trust others started with learning to love myself.

[48:20] A behind-the-scenes kitchen conversation filled with laughter, love stories, and the guacamole recipe everyone asks for.
