“The business I have today exists because I made decisions before I felt ready. I hired when it scared me. I started before it was perfect. And I showed up every day not as the business owner I was—but the one I knew I was becoming.”

In this solo episode, Sydney is pulling back the curtain on the mindset and execution shifts that helped her grow Renaissance Marketing Group, launch sold-out summits across the country, and step into a version of herself she hadn’t yet fully met—but trusted enough to build for.

If you're a small business owner, entrepreneur, or founder in a season of transition—or you know there’s a bigger version of yourself on the horizon—this episode is for you.

In This Episode:

1. Make decisions based on where you’re headed—not where you’re standing

• The mindset shift that changed everything
• How forecasting and future-casting help you break free from playing small

2. Hire before you’re comfortable—not after you’re drowning

• Why delegation is the first step in stepping into your CEO role
• How hiring before you're “ready” creates space for growth

3. Operate your business like you take it seriously—because you do

• Systems, structure, and why “showing up like the future you” matters
• Behind the scenes of how Sydney prepared her business (and team) for her maternity leave—and what happened next

“The next version of you isn’t waiting for perfect conditions. She’s waiting for you to believe in her enough to act. So make the call. Hit publish. Show up like her. And run your business for the woman you’re becoming.”
