“ Podcasting is more competitive than it's ever been, and there's more avenues and channels with the video component to do it. To me, that just shows that it is a healthy, money making, market. You don't want to be in a dying market. You want to be in a market that people are putting money behind and energy behind and time behind.” - Julie Solomon
“ I treat my podcast as a cross channel platform. I don't think of it only as an audio platform. I don't think of it as only Apple. Even when it comes to audio, I'm thinking about what are all the other audio platforms? There's 70 platforms out there. How can I do media buying on those platforms? How can I trade with those platforms and grow?” - Hala Taha

The Key to Sustainable Growth: Embracing Simplicity and Gratitude
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Happy New Year, friends, and welcome to 2025! In this cozy solo episode, I’m diving into a deeply personal topic that feels so aligned for the start of the year—shifting from the constant chase for more to fully embracing enough. I’ll share how we can stop living in “the gap,” where we focus on what’s missing, and start celebrating “the gain,” where we honor how far we’ve come.
I reflect on my own journey of releasing the pressure to always achieve the next big thing and instead focus on sustainable growth, alignment, and gratitude. You’ll hear powerful mindset shifts, practical tips, and an invitation to step into this year with clarity and confidence. Let’s make 2025 the year we stop chasing and start embracing you are already enough!

QUOTABLES:
“ Think about where you were five years ago. If your past self could see you now, the business you've built, the incredible clients that you've served, the growth that you've experienced, no matter how big or small, she would be in awe. But instead of celebrating that progress, we often focus on what's missing right now” - Julie Solomon
“ I know that you have probably thought, in the last week or so, I should be further along by now. But says who? Based on what metric? Someone else's 2024 Instagram highlight reel, someone else's version of success? That comparison trap is deadly, my friends and it is one of the biggest reasons why people feel so stuck.” - Julie Solomon

QUOTABLES:
“Abundance is all around us. It's infinite. It's within us. It's made for us. It's everything. If you have a hard time seeing that, it's hard to believe that, which then means it's not tangible for you, and maybe the listeners can relate to this, it's really hard for them to either identify or create the tools to create a life for prosperity and ease.” - Julie Solomon
“ I think that what's really exciting is every once in a while we get a whisper from our soul. It's funny because the mind is really loud, but it has no answers, but the heart has all the answers and there comes a moment, and hopefully many moments, where you can no longer hold back your spiritual truth.” - Cathy Heller

QUOTABLES:
“Marketing and messaging is not about saying a thousand different things one time. It's about saying one thing a thousand times.” - Julie Solomon
“ My offer, the visibility accelerator, flows immediately into the brand accelerator, which flows immediately into luminary. That is what ensures higher client retention and increased revenue.
When you've got offers that are just kind of siloed and all over the place and they don't talk to each other, you can't feed your business ecosystem. And it means that you have to work 10 times harder to sell those offers because they're not flowing into one another, they're not selling each other.” - Julie Solomon

“Now, I know that some of you may be thinking, “but Julie, I've been told that I need to launch a new offer every month in order to be seen and get in front of people and keep it fresh. I need all these fancy funnels. I need these huge audiences to scale”. And let me tell you, it ain't true.” - Julie Solomon
“This is how I'm able to actually create less content, but have it be more powerful. Because of the Momentum messaging framework. Where it does all of the work for me. The messaging is so strong that it converts without you needing to jump on sales calls or answer 50,000 DMs or be glued to your phone all day. Ah, sounds like a dream, right? Well, the good news is It's not just a dream, it's more than possible, and it's very simple. That is the genius of the Visibility Accelerator Training.” - Julie Solomon
