This week on the podcast we are diving deep into the world of memberships with our insightful guest, Vincent Pugliese. Vincent has a wealth of experience from a varied entrepreneurial journey that's taken him from the constraints of a traditional job to the liberating world of business ownership, where he's found success and stability in memberships. Throughout our conversation, we’ll cover the nitty-gritty of membership models across diverse business types, from personal trainers to auto mechanics, and how they can create a recurring revenue stream. Vincent shares his sharp perspective on market research, his take on the membership as a stadium model offering tiered content and access, as well as the limitations of one-on-one coaching. We'll get personal, too, as Vincent opens up about his own experiences—the financial instability that once struck his family and the mentor who helped shift his mindset towards entrepreneurship. We'll discuss why traditional brick-and-mortar businesses like Target are transitioning to memberships and preview an exclusive networking event happening in Sarasota, Florida, in 2025. Through Vincent's stories of confronting low pay in a job he loved to a health scare that prompted a pivotal shift in his career, we’ll explore the importance of taking risks, continuously learning, and adapting in the face of change. It's an illuminating episode full of extraordinary moments, invaluable business wisdom, and the entrepreneurial spirit that embraces curiosity, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of growth—all seasoned with a quest for work-life balance and financial freedom.

In this episode of the "Doing What Matters" podcast, we dive into five common habits that can hinder productivity and rob us of valuable time. I want to help you understand the importance of recognizing these habits and making a conscious effort to eliminate them from your daily routine. My inbox had become a trap I unknowingly fell into. I share how I was able to recover, so you might do the same. We need to stop living in the inbox and over-checking emails. You'll discover how to do that. We talk about the danger of sticky notes and how they can contribute to a cluttered and disorganized workspace. Finally, I want to help you reduce the visual clutter in your space to help you streamline workflow and avoid unnecessary handling of papers. This will help reduce your mental clutter. It's also time to reevaluate your commitments and learn to say no when appropriate. Set boundaries to avoid overcommitting and feeling overwhelmed. Then, take some time for self-reflection.

In this episode of the "Doing What Matters" podcast, we dive into the importance of life changing conversations and their impact on personal growth, relationships, and business endeavors. There is a transformative power in these conversations. They have shaped my journey and led to significant changes. There is a level of vulnerability in initiating meaningful conversations, but they can foster trust and deeper connections with others. During our conversation, I'll give you some thought-provoking insights and practical advice on how to cultivate these life changing conversations and harness their potential to bring about positive change. We'll talk a bit about the life mapping tools you'll find at https://www.onelifemaps.com.
