We have to know, like this is my genius, this is what I can help people with. But this is also the thing that I need help from other people's zones of genius because I need to make sure that this is good and clean and clear in my business.” - Julie Solomon  “  One of the biggest ways that people are missing out on money is they're too conservative when it comes to deductions. Now you never wanna push the edge and be like, oh my entire life is a write off like you're definitely gonna get in trouble if you do that.

• When You Raise Your Standards, Everything Changes

  In this episode, I’m getting real about a truth that’s been rising to the surface for me as I step into my 41st year: your tolerance will always be met by the standard you set. Over the past year and a half, I’ve been taking a hard look at the relationships, partnerships, and dynamics in my life—both personally and professionally—and realizing where I’ve been holding on out of comfort, history, or compassion, instead of true alignment. I share how I’ve been raising my standards, honoring my non-negotiables, and curating an energy that reflects the woman I am today. From spiritual maturity and emotional stability to lifestyle compatibility and respect for timing, I’m learning that when you honor your standards, you don’t lose people—you gain the right ones. If you’ve been feeling drained by certain relationships or dynamics, this conversation will help you see how raising your standard can shift everything. Liked this episode?

It just started to kind of get louder and the voice was telling me that I was going to start outgrowing a lot of things that no longer served me. A lot of things that had gotten me here, but they weren't going to get me where I was going.” - Julie Solomon  “ I am a work in progress friends. I am not perfect. I am learning and growing and expanding as I go, but I believe that the more accountability that we have to take stock of what no longer serves us and really have people that see that in us and honor those non-negotiables, the more that we can do it for others.” - Julie Solomon  RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.

• Be Her Now: Leading from the Woman You’re Becoming

  In this special Summer Series Flip episode, I’m so excited to share a conversation I had on the Brilliant Balance podcast with the amazing Cherylanne Skolnicki. We talk all about the journey of becoming—how I moved from chasing external success to aligning with the woman I’m meant to be, and how that shift has transformed the way I live, lead, and support others. I open up about what it means to create clarity (instead of waiting for it), rewrite the stories that keep us stuck, and take radical responsibility for the version of ourselves we’re stepping into. We also dive into the evolution of my book Get What You Want, the truth about personal branding, and why I believe you shouldn’t build your business based on who you used to be—but from the place of who you’re becoming. This conversation is raw, honest, and such a beautiful reminder that you don’t need to wait to become her—you can be her now. Liked this episode?

And the more that you can really own who you are. You say what you mean and mean what you say, and you don't say it mean, and you just own that with every bit of you. That is actually the ripple effect in the mirror that magnates people to you.” - Julie Solomon  “ What I really get hooked on is like, okay, what are you making up and telling yourself that, that person has? Because that's going to allow you to drop more into what it is that you want that's already inside you. If it wasn't inside you, you wouldn't see it in other people, good or bad, right? You can also do this with what you're wanting to shed, right? Because it's all a reflection in a mirror of either what you no longer want or what you're wanting to lean more into.”- Julie Solomon GUEST RESOURCES: You can listen to more of Cherylanne on The Brilliant Balance Podcast RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.

You do not need another strategy. What you need is congruence. You need alignment. You need your business to feel as good as it looks on the outside, because when your content isn't converting, it's rarely about the algorithm.” - Julie Solomon  “ You're not broken. You're just outta sync with your now identity. Because at the end of the day, no matter where you're coming from, no matter if you've been doing this for 10 years or two, you've evolved. But if your business is still speaking from your former or working self, then of course you're calling in people from the past version or people who are in the working mode looking to be saved.”  - Julie Solomon  RESOURCES: [CLARITY SIGNAL COMPANION WORKBOOK] Get your companion guide to the podcast here!

• How I Stopped Over-Delivering and Started Converting

  In this special Summer Series Flip episode, I’m bringing you a powerful conversation from when I was a guest on Podcasting Made Simple with my friend Alex Sanfilippo. We dive into one of the biggest reasons content creators and entrepreneurs struggle to convert—it’s not a content issue, it’s a messaging issue. I break down how to refine your message so it actually resonates and moves people to action, plus how to stop over-delivering and start creating content that leads to real results. I also share why I let go of freebies in my business, how to position yourself as the go-to expert in your space, and the importance of standing in your unique energetic authority. If you’ve been showing up, creating value, and still not seeing the growth or conversions you want—this episode is going to be your turning point. Liked this episode?

Or do you wanna take an acorn and plant it deeply in the ground and watch this beautiful oak tree grow?  And so for me, I knew very early on that I wanted to be the oak tree and not the field of wild flowers that could get wiped away at any storm that was gonna come through. I wanted to, you know, have that mighty foundation and that root system to help me sustain.” - Julie Solomon  “ I don't need to have more lead funnels and pay for more leads and bring more people to it. I just need to convert who's showing up better.  And again, you talk about this whole idea of less being more, and I think that is so freeing for any creator online because we get in this mindset of more is more and more is better, but the reality is less of the right thing gives you a better result. ”- Alex Sanfilippo GUEST RESOURCES: You can listen to more of Alex on Podcasting Made Simple RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.
