Ep 228 | The #1 Business Strategy to Create Clients and Revenue The Fastest (and Why You’re Probably Not Doing it)

Author: Stacey Brass-Russell June 17, 2026 Duration: 54:23

If you've ever woken up wanting to create a new client or generate more revenue and found yourself spinning on what you should actually be doing, this episode is for you. I’m going solo and I’m going deep on what I consider to be the number one business strategy for coaches, teachers, experts, and anyone with a human-centered business: personal outreach. It is the fastest path to a client, the foundation of a relationship-driven business, and the strategy that gets the most overlooked and underused by so many business owners - and in this one I’m telling you why.

Showing up in our businesses and for our people takes a lot - it takes time, energy, effort and a whole lot of mindset work to boot. And for most people, the mindset is exactly where it all breaks down. In this episode, I'm going deep on the psychology of both sides: what it takes to be the one doing the outreach, and what it means to be on the receiving end. I'm sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly — including real stories of how I use this strategy in my own business and how to build up the resilience and “thick skin” it takes to keep showing up - even when it’s vulnerable, frustrating and downright disappointing.

Here's what you'll hear in this episode:

  • Why personal outreach is the #1 strategy for creating clients — and why so many coaches, experts, and entrepreneurs are overlooking, underusing, or avoiding it altogether
  • Who your real warm and hot leads are — and why going to them first is always the right move when you want to create clients now
  • What it actually takes mentally and emotionally to implement this strategy with consistency — and why the mindset piece is where most people get stuck
  • Why being afraid of coming across as salesy or pushy is keeping you from doing the one thing that would actually work
  • The good, the bad, and the ugly of personal outreach — including what to do when it doesn't go the way you hoped
  • What to make of the full range of responses you're going to get — and why all of it, including the silence, is useful information for your business
  • Why being on the receiving end of outreach matters just as much as being the one who sends it — and what that reveals about where you are in your business

If you keep thinking you need more leads, more visibility, or a better marketing strategy — and you still don't have the clients you want — this episode is going to reframe everything.
