Daily Success Show with Jamila Payne

Why is positioning as a premium service provider important for women business owners? For too long women have been underearning and there is a new class of women that are emerging as breadwinners. They are building businesses that are sustainable and can create long term wealth.  As a premium service provider, you get to deliver a transformation for your clients, they’ll have an investment to work with you because you facilitate life altering results, and you’ll get to provide a high-touch experience in your delivery (even if it’s not from you). And to become a 5-star service provider, what you want to do is speak to the person your potential clients desire to become. This special episode is a session that I did for our recent Breadwinners Plannerpalooza Reset Retreat, and if you haven’t had the chance to join before, this is where I shared the things that I learned personally in becoming the premium service provider that I wanted to be for my clients.  In this episode, you will learn: What does it mean to d

Have you ever been in a situation wherein you’re facing a huge hurdle in your life and you can’t seem to get out of it?   That moment, that challenge you’re facing that you're struggling to identify solutions for, is a breakdown.   You start to experience resistance - strong feelings about what you don’t want to do largely because it’s uncomfortable even if it will improve the situation. You can stay in resistance about taking action and try to rationalise that you shouldn’t do the very thing that will help solve the issue or at least move through the recovery process.   But here’s the interesting thing about being in a breakdown: You don’t actually have to be in a good mood, good place, and everything going well to execute at a high level.    In our very special 100th (!!!) episode, I share about my personal challenges and breakdowns that I’ve encountered and how I overcame them. Today, I’m going to spill the lessons that I’ve learned, and hopefully you can learn from too to realize who you want to be in tha

Anybody who wants to be on the top of their game, needs to have their own mentors and coaches to help and support them to get there.   So if you’re already in that mindset where having a mentor is something that you need, I highly encourage you to do it. Where in your life or your business do you think you need someone that can help you guide your path?   In today's episode, I’m going to share with you the 5 secrets to choosing your mentors once you’re ready to invest in one, for your own growth

Are you a procrastinator?   … But not your average one, you know better than to not do anything at all so instead, you do something insignificant to give the false appearance and temporary satisfaction of pretending to move forward that’s called productive procrastination.   It’s an over-intellectualized holding pattern because you're smart enough to convince yourself that delaying action makes sense. What’s something that you have been productive procrastinating on and what practice do you plan to put in place to end it?    In this another throwback episode, I’ll walk you through how to recognize if procrastination is holding you back. You’ll learn the exact steps to take to put an end to it. Don’t let productive procrastination keep you off plan.

You spend most of your days working overtime. You give so much to the 9-to-5 that basically little or no energy for your business left— but still, your gut is telling you “there has to be more. This business dream.. I need to fulfill it”.   In the back of your mind, you come up with excuses that you’re too busy with work to even think about growing your business.    It’s understandable to be afraid and doubtful  of growing something new especially when we’re facing a pandemic but that doesn’t mean you can’t thrive.    In today’s throwback episode, we are joined by a special guest, Natalee Facey who had bravely jumped the fence, won over her doubts and decided to take her coaching business to the next level.

Whether or not we wanna own it, who we have in our love life impacts a lot of areas in our lives especially our companies. As women, there are a lot of external factors that really impact our ability to grow our businesses differently than our male counterparts, that’s why I’m so committed to helping women entrepreneurs grow their own sustainable businesses that allows them to have their dream lives. That’s why it led me to open up and share how romantic relationships impact our revenue and that as women, we should be thinking about who we connect ourselves with because it will inevitably impact the bottomline of your business. In this special episode, I’m going to take you behind the scenes to a recent retreat that we had for our Achievers Club Mastermind members, where I invited my sweetheart to have this conversation with us to have a male perspective of what is it like dating a woman entrepreneur, a breadwinning businesswoman, that is continuously trying to level up in her business.

If you take a second, right now and reflect on your life, where do you need to step it up and exhibit some Breadwinning behavior?   Recently, in my neighborhood for the last several years, I was having a problem with my new neighbors wherein they liked walking their dogs around the lot beside my house even though I have asked countless times to my neighbors to stop walking their dogs there. I have communicated with them. I have pleasant conversations with them, I also have unpleasant conversations with people about it, to no avail.   Am I going to indulge and let somebody take me down the road and have a street fight? Or am I going to demonstrate Breadwinning behavior? So, I decided to do what a Breadwinner would do: I bought the lot.   Today I want to share with you all the experiences that I learned in this process, because I firmly believe that it will help you practice Breadwinning behavior when faced with obstacles in pursuit of your goals.    In this episode, learn...: How to resolve issues and make dec

How many times have you said “I should be further along in business”?   It’s common to have fears and self-doubts when pursuing our goals and dreams but at some point, you have to shed the bad habits that are keeping you from progressing because what got you here, won’t get you to your next level.   So today, I want to share with you some ways that I see you getting in your own way.

I’m a little embarrassed to share this story but I got evicted. I came home from a late day at the office to find a big yellow notice on the door. The fact is, I had the money but instead of paying my rent on time, I made a decision to listen to some bad advice.   I was a recent grad, there was a really big tech boom going on and I was part of a business incubator. All the popular advice for startup entrepreneurs was to reinvest everything and don’t pay yourself. So I did.   Clearly, the jerks giving out that advice had access to their parent’s credit cards, a trust fund, or a sugar daddy bankrolling their dream, none of which I had. So I learned a very big lesson, be careful who you take advice from.   Not paying myself was a problem. It nearly jeopardized my financial future. There were two things that saved me. First, I priced my services really well which means I had big margins.   So even though I wasn’t paying myself, I had enough cushion in my profit margin, the difference between what it cost me and w

Could you take a week off this summer confidently knowing your business would still run and bring in money, without you?   That’s the dream, right?   Here’s the good news, you don’t have to wait until you're a bigger business to get there. All you need is to organize your business with a few templates, checklists, and systems.   Systems are a fancy word for routines….daily, weekly or monthly practices that you have in your business. They help you to stay on track, do things consistently and get results.   You don’t want clients leaving because you don’t have your stuff together, do you?   When you have systems in place you can: Professionalize your business and attract quality clients Take care of collecting payments and enroll new clients on autopilot Know that a team member can tackle projects the EXACT way you want Have peace of mind that your business is set up for long term success   In today’s special Bootcamp podcast episode, I’m going to share the 7 Systems that You Need to Run a Profitable Group Pr
