92. How To Lead A Profitable, Sustainable, Successful Modern Business That Actually Works: Why do many business leaders expect other people to just "understand" their value in the marketplace? I'm sorry to bring you back to reality, but that's a dream that typically won't come to pass out of the gate. Profitable businesses become profitable businesses from great leaders who can provide a clear understanding to others about the value of the business, the impact of the service, the why behind your existence, and where you can take others. by iDigress with Troy Sandidge

91. How To Eliminate False Perceptions Of Your Business Value Parallel To Market Demand & Start Doing The REAL Work To Obtain Quality Sales!: Many businesses let the fear of hearing "no" stop them from being aggressive in sales. They shouldn't. It's not about hearing "no" occasionally in the sales cycle when it's more about do you know whether or not the market is saying "no" to your offerings as a business? Is there demand and need? Do they understand? This is the part where many businesses create a false perception of their business value and demand in the market. You must understand the facts and seek the truth in order to operate, market, and sell accordingly. by iDigress with Troy Sandidge

84. The X Factor To Increasing The Longevity Of Your Business Regardless Of Industry Or Market Most Founders Forget.: Adaptability = Survivability = Sustainability. The numbers have always reinforced that the longer you are able to stay in business during certain milestones, the higher the percentage you will be successful in business. No surprise that the longevity of a business's existence runs parallel with the growth and success of that business. But most emerging businesses need to think long-term and work backwards to reengineer their approach for the short-term. by iDigress with Troy Sandidge

An Audio Open Letter On The Unspoken Truths Marginalized Communities Face In Business & What We Need Leaders To Do About It.: This is an audio open letter addressing the elephant in the room... why are we still talking about the same things when it comes to being more inclusive, respectful, empathetic, and responsive to black and marginalized leaders, businesses, creators, employees, clients, customers, and communities without more action being taken and more progress being made? by iDigress with Troy Sandidge

82. Black Is Beautiful. Black Is Powerful. Black Is Profitable! Why More Representation On Stage Is Essential For Success!: We need more diversity and representation on stages, at events, behind the microphones, and in the executive boardrooms. But just stating that obvious fact and taking real action to make that a reality are two separate things. The truth is the only way change can occur, is by not only educating but empowering people in power to take action for change by aligning those investments, those initiatives, and those advances with what everyone wants more of: money. by iDigress with Troy Sandidge

81. Brené Brown Says Vulnerability Is A Strength. Why Being Vulnerable Is A Butterfly Effect, Unlocking New Growth & Empowering You To Transform Into The Best Version Of Yourself!: Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness, according to Brené Brown. I had recently heard her speak so eloquently on the subject. I instantly saw the connection and parallels we as business owners, operators, and creators face as we navigate the pursuit of success with the daily grind. We don't update our tools, resources, and processes to where we are now enough. We operate our business, we perform our jobs, and we build as if it's just us in the room. When we need to understand the only way to scale is through expansion, delegation, and patience. This episode is all about challenging you to be vulnerable about who you are, where you are, who you want to be, where you want to be, and what you need to become, build, and remove to get there. by iDigress with Troy Sandidge

80. Last Year Reflections. New Year Redirections. The Difference Between Resolutions vs Goals And Why There Is Only One Solution To Achieving Your Desired Milestones.: Have you set any new year's resolutions lately? Are you going through a series of changes? New birthday? Massive life change? I've been there, and I can empathize as well as relate. In many cases, a new year will look exactly like the previous year if you don't make changes and achieve your goals. In most cases, a past goal or desire will remain a goal or desire weeks, months, or even years from now if you don't make changes and achieve your goals. I think you may see the pattern here. But regardless of the reason or the ignition to acknowledge a change or even pursue a change or declare a goal, if one does not take action in the pursuit and possess the discipline to see it through, nothing will ever happen, no change will occur, and nothing will be accomplished. by iDigress with Troy Sandidge

79. How To Conduct Your 2022 Personal Audit & Align With Your 2023 Goal Declarations. Time To Maximize Your Abilities To Win!: Have you conducted a 2022 personal audit?

On this episode, I discuss the particulars of how to learn from the past year, how to navigate teetering sales and client opportunities from 2022 going into 2023, the importance of declaration and delegation, and why the first thing you need to focus on is not the business, but yourself, for your business to grow and for you to be even more successful this year. I also share my goals for 2023 and expound on the pillars of growth and success while giving you a motivational boost to pursue being greater! by iDigress with Troy Sandidge

78. Discounts Aren't The Way For High-Growth Service-Based Businesses. Price, Time, & Project Management Wins The Day!: I said no to Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or holiday-themed discounts on my growth strategy retainers and services because the price is the price. If you are an emerging brand who isn’t dependent on volume and want 6 - 8 figure clients working with you, discounts aren’t the tactic to use. If you are a service-based business and have to discount a high ticketed offer for like 40% - 80% how do you expect to actually make 6 - 8 figures if you aren’t a B2C/D2C focusing on volume, upsells, and subscriptions? You most likely won’t. Your ideal audience shouldn't need a price reduction to jump because price shouldn't be an issue. The solution is using the right tactics and positioning to get the quality of clients and the number of projects you want. by iDigress with Troy Sandidge

77. Stop Using $1 Dollar Tactics Hoping For $1 Million Dollar Gains. Focus On Profitable Gains By Building C.A.S.H. & Applying This Selling Blueprint.: The truth is if you aren't growing, you're simply using the wrong tactics. Many make decisions based on how they feel or what they think and don't consider the market, the demand, or the time it takes to go to market, build community, and drive residual sales. But before you can apply the right tactics, you must have the right strategy in place based on your growth goals, industry, timeline, price point, audience, and offerings. Take a listen to this master class I shared with entrepreneurs, startups, and agencies, where I break down the essentials to course-correct your business to grow and scale, pursue ideal clients, attract opportunities and sponsorships, and leverage the creator economy to make a brand imprint on your community. by iDigress with Troy Sandidge
