This episode is one that had me walking away feeling more aligned, more grounded, and honestly—more inspired than ever.

I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with the incredible Michelle Rule—multi-business owner, investor, and the woman behind the title “The Millionaire Maker.” But let me tell you, Michelle is so much more than her numbers.

She’s the kind of woman who has gone from being completely burnt out, in credit card debt, and spiritually lost at 25... to co-owning a $2.5 million IT company, building a $7 million personal asset base, and now coaching other women to build true financial freedom—without burnout, without hustle, and without shame.

We went deep in this chat. You’ll hear:

- Michelle’s honest story of how she went from paycheck-to-paycheck to living in abundance
-Why most business owners are missing the opportunity to turn profits into long-term wealth
- Her concept of your “financial freedom number” (this one changed how I think)
- The power of wealth energetics (and how pride—not shame—is the most magnetic energy for abundance)
- Why saving doesn’t make you wealthy—but investing with intention does
- Her exact strategy for automating wealth on autopilot
- The real talk around exit strategies, cashflow buffers, and playing the long game like a CEO

We also chatted about something I think a lot of us feel but don’t talk about enough—what happens when you grow faster than the people around you. That moment when you realize you’re ready to have bigger conversations about money, wealth, and the life you really want to live.

Michelle doesn’t just preach financial freedom—she’s built it. And now she’s sharing the behind-the-scenes of how she did it (and how you can too).

Whether you're just getting started or you're already making bank but want to actually build something that lasts… this episode will expand you in all the best ways.

I’m so excited for today’s episode because I’m joined by the absolute powerhouse, Elli Forsyth. If you’ve been feeling like you’re constantly putting out fires in your beauty business, struggling with staff issues, or just feeling stuck trying to balance leadership with growth—this one is for you.

Elli Forsyth is the founder of Beauty Business Society, and she’s someone who’s literally been in the trenches, working her way from therapist to managing massive clinics to now coaching and consulting beauty business owners on how to build thriving, high-performing teams.

I’ve been hyping her up on this podcast for ages because she’s absolutely phenomenal at what she does. She knows how to transform your business from feeling like chaos every day to having systems, structure, and most importantly—a happy, high-performing team.

What We’re Getting Into:

• How Elli went from being a beauty therapist to a clinic manager to now a sought-after consultant.
• The biggest mistakes salon owners make when it comes to leadership and why it’s costing them thousands.
• Why building a positive team culture is essential (and how to do it properly).
• The secret to effective one-on-one meetings that actually move the needle for your staff AND your business.
• How to shift from being a burnt-out operator to stepping into your CEO role.
• And so much more...

Elli’s approach is so real, no fluff, no BS. She’s all about practical strategies and implementation. And she’s got receipts—she’s helped clinics go from struggling to absolutely thriving with her methods.

If you’re tired of the constant staff drama, overwhelmed by trying to manage everything yourself, or feeling like you’re just spinning your wheels—Ellie’s got you covered. And if you’re ready to actually grow your business and create a culture where your team feels empowered and excited to show up every day, then you’re going to want to hit play on this one.

I am so excited for you to meet today’s guest because her story is just… wow. I’ve got Rachel Diaz on the podcast, and she’s the genius behind Love Beauty Skin Clinic – a business she built from scratch and grew into a thriving, award-winning clinic with 19 team members. Yeah, you read that right. Nineteen.

Rachel’s journey is one of those stories that just lights you up. She went from feeling totally overwhelmed trying to do everything herself, to creating a system that allowed her to expand and thrive. And the best part? She’s so down-to-earth and honest about everything it took to get there.

In this episode, Rachel and I chat about:

✨ What it really felt like when she was trying to do it all alone.
✨ The ‘aha’ moment when she knew she couldn’t keep going the way she was.
✨ How she went from being a solo practitioner to leading a team of 19 rockstars.
✨ The behind-the-scenes systems and processes she had to create to make it all work.
✨ How winning awards helped boost her credibility – and how you can use recognition to fuel your own growth.
✨ What she wishes she knew when she was just starting out (and the advice she’d give YOU).

Rachel is so real about her journey. The struggles, the wins, the moments of doubt… all of it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re just spinning your wheels trying to do it all yourself, this conversation is going to be so refreshing and honestly, pretty motivating.

Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s dive in. I know you’re gonna love this one. 💛

— Sammy
