Feeling stuck even though you’re doing all the right things? Author and “mind architect” Kam Knight explains how unconscious beliefs create money blocks, self-sabotage, and resistance—and how to release them quickly so you can scale your service business with clarity and momentum. You’ll leave with a practical self-talk protocol to take action now and open the valve on growth.

What you’ll learn

• Why “I know what to do, but I’m not doing it” is a wiring problem—not a willpower problem
• How early messages about money form hidden rules that cap your pricing, sales, and capacity
• A two-part self-talk script to become a “do-it-now” person and give yourself permission to receive
• Why insight alone rarely changes behavior—and how to discharge emotional charge so change sticks
• Simple ways to spot (and stop) internal resistance before it kills your momentum

Try this today (Kam’s quick start)

• “I’m a do-it-now person. I easily do things now. I accomplish my goals right away.”
• “I deserve good things. I give myself permission. I’m welcoming good things.”
  Say it out loud—while driving, in the shower, or before bed—to reprogram the unconscious and turn action into habit.

Sales isn’t manipulation—it’s service. In this episode, Tiffany-Ann Bottcher and sales strategist Christopher Filiipiack dig into what actually drives consistent revenue in service businesses: courageous, human-first conversations, a clear market/message/offer, and a simple, inspectable sales process. They unpack how to overcome fear of rejection, why founders should stay close to sales, and how to reverse-engineer revenue targets into weekly activity that compounds. If you’ve got a solid offer but inconsistent cashflow, this conversation shows how to turn conversations into clients—without feeling pushy.

What you’ll learn

• Why sales is the real gatekeeper of business success
• Authentic selling = courageous conversations + clear strategy (not scripts)
• A practical way to beat rejection fear and keep momentum
• How to reverse-engineer revenue into pipeline math and weekly actions
• What a “sales-ready organization” looks like (market, message, offer, systems, inspection)
• Why CEO-led selling accelerates learning, positioning, and big-ticket deals

Key takeaways

• Sales is an act of service that helps people get where they want to go
• Conversations > complexity: proximity to buyers beats perfect funnels
• Clarity moves cash: set the number, build the causes, inspect the pipeline
• Design for buyers, not fear: remove hoops that serve you (not them)
• Keep leadership close to the market: insights live in calls, not dashboard

On this week’s episode of the Service Based Business Society, we’re ripping the bandaid off and mapping the small circle that quietly decides whether you scale or stall. Tiffany-Ann breaks down the six relationships every service-based founder needs: a truth-teller who cuts through the noise, a clean finance stack (bookkeeper → management accounting/CFO → tax strategist), a banker who believes in your vision, the right lawyer at the right time, an insurance pro who matches coverage to real risk, and a mentor plus personal believer to keep you moving when it’s hard. You’ll walk away with a one-page audit to find your gaps, a simple email script to re-engage your banker, and prompts to pressure-test your legal and insurance exposures—so you can make faster, smarter decisions and get to the good part sooner.

• Why a single truth-teller can collapse weeks of indecision—and how to invite unvarnished feedback you’ll actually use.
• The finance stack demystified: bookkeeping vs. management accounting/CFO vs. tax—and when each role pays for itself.
• How to sell your vision to your banker so you get better products, higher limits, and a real human who advocates for you.
• When to stick with a generalist lawyer and when risk demands a specialist (plus a simple triage lens).
• The overlooked value of an insurance pro who maps coverage to your actual exposures (not generic checklists).
• The mentor + personal believer combo: one sharpens your strategy, the other protects your stamina.

The Short List: Your Circle of Scale

1. Truth-Teller — cuts through nice-sounding noise
2. Bookkeeper → Mgmt Accounting/CFO → Tax — three roles, three outcomes
3. Banker — a person, not a 1-800 queue
4. Lawyer — generalist for routine, specialist for risk
5. Insurance Pro — coverage matched to reality
6. Mentor + Personal Believer — tactics + resilience

Apply It This Week

✔️ Name your truth-teller: DM one peer/vendor and ask for “the unvarnished version” on your top decision.
✔️ Map your finance stack: Who owns bookkeeping? Who interprets numbers (CFO/analyst)? Who handles tax strategy? Circle gaps.
✔️ Email your banker: Share a 12-month vision + ask, “What would we need in place to qualify for X?” Book a call.
✔️ Legal triage: List your next 3 initiatives; mark which deserve a specialist review and schedule it.
✔️ Insurance pulse check: Write your top 5 exposures (advice liability, subcontractors, vehicles, in-suite work, data). Book a coverage review.
✔️ Mentor & believer: Identify each by name. If missing, shortlist 3 mentors to approach and choose your personal believer (spouse/friend/coach).
