Have you ever wondered what it takes to build a million-dollar business without burning yourself out in the process?
What actions do you need to take that will actually move the needle?
In this episode of the Simplify to Scale show, I sit down with Julie Chenell, co-founder of Funnel Gorgeous® and author of Million Dollar Grit, to unpack the mindset, strategy, and focus it takes to sustainably build a million-dollar business.
Julie is a digital marketing expert and coach who helps businesses accelerate growth and stay ahead in today’s fast-changing digital landscape.
She turned her passion into a multi-million dollar business in under 3 years, and she now runs Digital Insiders, which is a mastermind helping business owners scale to $5M and beyond.
Through everything she has learned from her own experiences in building a million-dollar business, Julie shares actionable advice about how to narrow down to one high-impact activity, the value of relentless focus, and how to avoid burning out by ignoring distractions and tying everything you do back to revenue.
She also tells us about her new book, Million Dollar Grit, which highlights the lessons that helped her scale and stay resilient through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
If you’ve ever wondered what separates entrepreneurs who grow fast but burn out from those who sustainably scale to seven figures and beyond, then this episode is for you.
In this episode, we explore:
- The importance of solving the right problem that becomes the foundation of a million-dollar business
- The 3 qualities of every million-dollar idea
- How focus (and not hustle) is the real secret to scaling without burnout
- The high-leverage activity that drives the fastest growth (and why most entrepreneurs overlook it)
- How to keep scaling without overworking
- The power of narrowing your niche
“If you want to make a million dollars without burning out, focus relentlessly on one high-leverage activity and do it until you’re better than anyone else at it.”
