251. My Top Lessons From 5 Business Models That Actually Work

We spend so much time trying to grow our business, but here's a question most entrepreneurs never ask: Am I actually ready for the success I'm chasing? In this episode, I'm sharing the liberating (and sometimes uncomfortable) process of honestly assessing whether you're prepared for the growth you're working toward. Because here's the thing - if you're not ready for success, your nervous system will find ways to sabotage it. I'll walk you through the specific fears that came up for me, the common patterns I see with clients, and the practical steps I took to prepare myself for explosive growth while still actively building my business.In this episode, I share:🔥 Why wanting success and being prepared for it are two completely different things🔥 The specific fears that came up when I asked myself this question (burnout, sustainability, projections)🔥 The 5 most common fears entrepreneurs have about explosive growth (visibility, capacity, identity, relationships, responsibility)🔥 My personal story about realising I wasn't ready and what I did about it🔥 How I've been preparing for growth while still actively growing (systems, wellbeing, boundaries)🔥 The Mars in Virgo balance: preparation vs. perfectionist paralysis🔥 A practical assessment framework to evaluate your readiness for success🔥 Why building capacity alongside building success creates sustainable growthResources & Links:Take the Human Design Business QuizGet your ideal business model based on your Human Design energy type, plus 5 personalised resources including a Strategic Business Masterclass, Strategy Filter Checklists, and complete Design Guide for Consistent ConversionsDM "QUIZ" on Instagram @jazzejervis_ or take the quiz here. Selling Soulfully ($37)The complete 4-step sales framework personalised to your Human Design - the ecosystem approach to consistent conversionsGet it here.90-Minute Business Strategy IntensiveDeep dive into your business model, Human Design & Astrology with personalised strategyBook your intensive sessionConstantly Converting By Design WaitlistOur signature 12-week program for building business foundations that create consistent conversions, all personalized to your Human Design (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the CCBD waitlistScale By Design WaitlistFor established entrepreneurs ready to move from working IN your business to working ON it strategically (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the SBD waitlistConnect with Jazze:Instagram: @jazzejervis_ and @bydesign.hq (DM me your biggest takeaway from this episode!)Website: jazzejervis.com.au

Today we're diving deep into Cancer season and the fourth house, exploring how this energy is foundational to building a sustainable business. We're moving from Gemini's mental energy into Cancer's invitation to come home - to what feeds your soul, to work that feels sustainable, to relationships that energise rather than drain you. After 8 years in business, I've learned that entrepreneurs who build lasting success make decisions from their emotional centre and understand that sometimes the most profitable thing you can do is prioritise your own nourishment.In this episode, I share:🔥 Why Cancer gets misunderstood and how it's actually about initiating emotional healing, not just "being emotional" 🔥 The crab shell metaphor and how it applies to business evolution - when to shed the shells that no longer fit 🔥 How Human Design undefined centers (solar plexus, spleen, ego) interact with Cancer energy in business 🔥 The fourth house as your psychological foundation and why it's the base of your chart 🔥 Why your physical environment dramatically impacts your creativity and productivity 🔥 Cancer through all 12 houses - your personal roadmap for where this energy shows up in your business 🔥 Current Cancer season transits including Jupiter in Cancer and Uranus entering Gemini 🔥 How emotional boundaries aren't weakness - they're survival (anything giving more than receiving is dying)Resources & Links:Take the Human Design Business QuizGet your ideal business model based on your Human Design energy type, plus 5 personalised resources including Strategic Business Masterclass, Strategy Filter Checklists, and complete Design Guide for Consistent Conversions.

Description: I've run literally every business model you can imagine - $37 digital products, $20K masterminds, live launches, evergreen funnels, memberships, high-ticket coaching, in-person retreats. For the longest time, I thought this was a problem. Like I couldn't stick to anything. Until I learned about my Gemini sixth house. Suddenly everything made sense - I wasn't scattered, I was curious. In this episode, I'm diving deep into Gemini and the Third House as evolutionary pathways that can transform how you approach learning, communication, and finding your authentic voice in business.In this episode, I share:🔥 The difference between Signs (who you are) and Houses (what you do) in astrology🔥 How Air signs serve as bridge-builders and connectors in our consciousness🔥 Why waiting for certainty before moving forward isn't actually Gemini energy🔥 The teacher and storyteller archetypes and how to bring them into your content strategy🔥 The Third House as "the heresy of true perception" and finding your authentic voice🔥 How your Third House sign reveals your unique communication style and media approach🔥 Why Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus moving into Gemini are revolutionising how we think and learn🔥 Practical ways to work with Gemini and Third House energy regardless of your chartLinks & Resources:Get Your Free Human Design Energy Type GuideDiscover how your specific Human Design type can inform your business and communication strategyDownload your personalised guide or DM "ENERGYGUIDE" on InstagramConstantly Converting By Design WaitlistOur signature 12-week program for building business foundations that create consistent conversions, all personalised to your Human Design (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the CCBD waitlistScale By Design WaitlistFor established entrepreneurs ready to move from working IN your business to working ON it strategically (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the SBD waitlist90-Minute Business Strategy IntensiveDeep dive into your business model, Human Design & Astrology with personalised strategyBook your intensive sessionConnect with Jazze:Instagram: @jazzejervis_ (DM me where Gemini falls in YOUR chart!)Website: jazzejervis.com.auIf you haven't left a review yet: This podcast is a free resource that takes significant time to research, prepare, and record.

Mars is moving into Virgo on June 17th, and honestly? It's about time. Mars has been in Cancer and Leo since September last year and so this transit feels VERY welcome. We've been in this extended period of learning how to express ourselves authentically, how to speak our truth not for applause, but because it's genuinely ours. But here's the thing - all that beautiful self-expression and creative energy? It means nothing if we can't ground it into something tangible. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what Mars in Virgo means for your business, the powerful aspects happening during this transit, and how to use this energy to build systems that actually support your vision instead of working against it.In this episode, I share:🔥 The difference between Mars in Leo's creative expression and Virgo's systematic approach🔥 Practical examples of what Mars in Virgo wants to know about your business systems🔥 The powerful sextile with Jupiter in Cancer and what it means for expansion🔥 How Mars conjunct the South Node on July 20th offers pattern-breaking opportunities🔥 Specific systems to audit: processes, routines, organisation, and refinement🔥 The shadow side of Virgo to watch out for (perfectionism paralysis)🔥 How to distinguish between productive organisation and procrastination in disguise🔥 Why some entrepreneurs unconsciously create volatility and how to choose differentlyKey Takeaways:Mars in Virgo isn't about perfectionism or getting lost in details - it's about intentional action. After an extended period of courageous self-expression with Mars in Leo, we're now being asked to ground that creative energy into sustainable business systems. This is about taking all that authentic voice work you've been doing and creating the processes that allow it to generate consistent income without burning you out.Key quote from the episode: "Mars in Virgo is saying: Okay, you've found your voice. You know what you stand for. You've done the brave work of putting yourself out there. Now what systems do you need to make that actually work sustainably in your business?"Links & Resources:Get Your Free Human Design Energy Type GuideDiscover business strategies that work with your specific energy type in Human Design, not against itDownload your personalised guide or DM "ENERGYGUIDE" on InstagramSelling Soulfully ($37)A complete sales framework that shows you exactly what your business needs to convert right now - creating clarity, confidence, and consistent sales without the guesswork (all personalised to your Human Design)Get Selling SoulfullyConstantly Converting By Design WaitlistOur signature 12-week program for building business foundations that create consistent conversions, all personalised to your Human Design (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the CCBD waitlistScale By Design WaitlistFor established entrepreneurs ready to move from working IN your business to working ON it strategically (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the SBD waitlist90-Minute Business Strategy IntensiveDeep dive into your business model, Human Design & Astrology with personalised strategyBook your intensive sessionConnect with Jazze:Instagram: @jazzejervis_ (DM me where Mars in Virgo is activating YOUR chart!)Website: jazzejervis.com.au

One of my clients just had a $63,000 launch with an almost 9% conversion rate - but honestly? The money is the least exciting part of this story. What she really achieved was proving to her nervous system that success doesn't require chaos. I work with a lot of women who have been responsible for others from a young age - incredible problem-solvers who thrive in chaos. In business, this often translates to overcomplicating everything because complexity feels safer than simplicity. But what happened when we focused her entire launch strategy on ONE thing - her waitlist - changed everything. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how this waitlist strategy works, why 85% of her sales came from focused effort, and the nervous system breakthrough that was more valuable than any dollar amount.In this episode, I share:🔥 Why the $63K and 9% conversion rate weren't the most exciting parts of this launch story🔥 The specific upbringing patterns that create "chaos-thriving" entrepreneurs and how this shows up in business🔥 Exactly how we structured her waitlist launch strategy (and why it worked so well for her 4th line Human Design profile)🔥 The nervous system breakthrough: proving that simple can be incredibly effective🔥 A complete waitlist launch timeline (3 phases that you can implement immediately)🔥 Why someone joining a waitlist is literally the warmest lead you can have🔥 How to use personal reach-outs and Close Friends strategically without feeling salesy 🔥 The difference between genuine urgency vs. fake scarcity (and why waitlists create authentic excitement)Key Takeaways:Your business doesn't need to be complicated to be successful. For entrepreneurs who thrive in chaos and feel safer solving multiple problems at once, focusing on just ONE thing and making it work beautifully can be revolutionary. The waitlist strategy proves that when you stop diluting your energy across multiple priorities and focus deeply on your warmest leads, magic happens - not just financially, but energetically.Key quote from the episode: "She proved to her nervous system that we don't have to add everything to our plate to be successful. For someone who thrives in chaos, who feels safer solving multiple problems at once, focusing on just ONE thing and making it work beautifully? That's revolutionary."__________________________________________________________________________________________________Links & Resources:Get Your Free Human Design Energy Type GuideFilter all your business strategies and decisions through your unique Human Design - includes 4 bonus resources delivered via emailDownload your personalized guide or DM "ENERGYGUIDE" on InstagramPrevious episode: "The Launch Before the Launch: How to Guarantee Sales Before You Open the Cart" - Listen herePrevious episode: “Behind the Scenes of a 200% Launch Growth: What I Focused On (And Why)" - Listen here90-Minute Business Strategy IntensiveDeep dive into your business model, Human Design & Astrology with personalized strategyBook your intensive sessionConstantly Converting By Design WaitlistOur signature 12-week program for building business foundations that create consistent conversions, all personalized to your Human Design (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the CCBD waitlistScale By Design WaitlistFor established entrepreneurs ready to mo

I had this moment yesterday walking home from the gym where I just felt SO good in my body - you know those days when everything flows? It got me thinking about the client calls I'd had earlier where I literally watched two entrepreneurs' shoulders drop when we shifted their business models to actually work WITH their energy instead of against it. We've been taught that if business feels hard, we need to manifest our way out or regulate our nervous system more. But what if your business strategies could just feel like an exhale? In this episode, I'm sharing what that looks like in practice, plus how your Human Design energy type and 6th house in astrology can completely transform your daily work routine.In this episode, I share:🔥 Two client transformations that show what "business as an exhale" looks like in practice🔥 Why we've been taught that manifestation, nervous system regulation, and shadow work are the only solutions to business burnout🔥 The difference between resistance that's information vs. resistance that's just part of business growth🔥 How to filter your business strategies through your Human Design energy type🔥 Practical 6th house astrology applications for creating work routines that energize you🔥 Why Neptune moving into Aries is shifting us away from romanticizing others' success🔥 The simple question that changes everything: "How does this actually feel in my body?"Key Takeaways:Every strategy can work, but not every strategy can work for you. You can have a perfectly regulated nervous system and still feel like you're forcing everything in your online business. The goal isn't to eliminate hard work or resistance entirely—it's to distinguish between resistance that's information about misalignment versus resistance that's just part of growth.Key quote from the episode: "Your business should feel like an exhale. Not every day, not all day every day, but on the whole - your business should feel like an exhale."_________________________________________________________________________________________________Links & Resources:Get Your Free Human Design Business Guide (20+ pages)Discover business strategies that feel like an exhale for your specific energy typeDownload your personalized guide90-Minute Business Strategy Intensive (Limited spots available)Deep dive into your business model, Human Design & Astrology with personalised strategy (Only 1-2 spots left before I take July off!)Book your intensiveJoin the Richness Without Sacrifice™ NewsletterGet first access to my upcoming business strategy filter tool for each Human Design energy typeSubscribe for updatesConstantly Converting By Design WaitlistOur signature program for building business foundations that create consistent conversions—all personalized to your Human Design (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the waitlistScale By Design WaitlistFor established entrepreneurs ready to move from working IN your business to working ON it strategically (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the waitlist

On June 9th, Jupiter enters Cancer for the first time since 2013-2014, and this isn't just another astrology transit - it's about to fundamentally shift how you think about business success. We're moving from Jupiter in Gemini's mental overload into expansion that actually nourishes you while it's happening. This is Jupiter's exaltation, meaning it can express its absolute highest potential here. If you've been building a business that technically works but leaves you feeling drained, this transit is asking: What would it look like to build a life and business that actually nourishes you while you're living it? I'm breaking down why this is one of the most powerful business transits of the year, the "crab's shell" metaphor that reveals when your safety structures are keeping you small, and exactly what this means for your money, relationships, and career based on your rising sign.In this episode, I reveal:🦀 Why Jupiter in Cancer creates businesses that give you energy instead of drain it (and the difference between growth that nourishes vs. growth that depletes)🦀 The "soft shell crab" moment every entrepreneur faces - and why your biggest breakthrough is on the other side of shedding what feels safe🦀 How to tell if you're building someone else's version of success instead of what actually feeds your soul (plus the two questions that change everything)🦀 Why this transit will activate your intuition, sharpen your gut instincts, and make business decisions feel clearer than they have in years🦀 Complete breakdown of how Jupiter in Cancer impacts your money, relationships, home, and career based on where it lands in YOUR chart🦀 The cosmic timing: how Saturn in Aries + Jupiter in Cancer creates the perfect storm for sustainable expansion (not just quick wins)Key Takeaways:Jupiter in Cancer is exalted energy - meaning Jupiter can express its absolute highest potential here. This transit asks: What would it look like to build a life and business that actually nourishes you while you're living it? We're not just talking about making everything comfortable - this is about recognizing when the safety structures that got you here are now the very things keeping you from your next level of growth. This is expansion that feels like coming home to yourself, not expansion that requires you to abandon what makes you feel secure.Key quote from the episode: "Jupiter in Cancer says: What if expansion didn't require you to abandon everything that makes you feel safe? What if you could grow bigger while also growing deeper roots?"Links & Resources:Get Your Free Human Design Business Guide (20+ pages)Discover business strategies that feel like an exhale for your specific energy typeDownload your personalized guide90-Minute Business Strategy Intensive (Limited spots available)Deep dive into your business model, Human Design & Astrology with personalised strategy (Only 1-2 spots left before I take July off!)Book your intensiveJoin the Richness Without Sacrifice™ NewsletterGet first access to my upcoming business strategy filter tool for each Human Design energy typeSubscribe for updatesConstantly Converting By Design WaitlistOur signature program for building business foundations that create consistent conversions—all personalized to your Human Design (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the waitlistScale By Design WaitlistFor established entrepreneurs ready to move from working IN your business to working ON it strategically (Q4 2025 cohort)Join the waitlist

At the end of last year, I made a decision that looked insane from the outside: I closed down my multiple six-figure coaching container and literally deleted half my income. But that "crazy" decision taught me something profound about the difference between healing and evolving - and why sometimes we become addicted to understanding our patterns instead of changing them. If you've been doing beautiful inner work but find yourself stuck in the same cycles, this episode reveals what might actually be keeping you trapped.In this episode, I share:The real story behind closing my main revenue driver (and why it felt scarier than any business decision I'd made)How I realised I was addicted to healing instead of actually changingThe difference between understanding your patterns and embodying new choicesWhy "self-awareness without action" is sophisticated procrastinationHow one uncomfortable decision created ripple effects across my entire lifeThe "dissolve through disuse" framework for breaking cycles without endless analysisWhy Saturn in Aries is cosmically supporting brave decisions right nowWhat happened to my business after I chose myself over money (spoiler: 200% launch increase)Key quote from the episode: "Sometimes the fastest way to change a pattern isn't spending all day long trying to figure out WHY it happens - it's consciously choosing differently and letting the old programming dissolve through disuse."Links & Resources:Get on the CCBD WaitlistJoin our Q4 2025 cohort for building foundations that create consistent conversionsGet on the Scale By Design WaitlistFor established entrepreneurs ready to architect their next level of growth (Q4 2025) 90-Minute Strategy Intensive (1 spot left in June)Deep dive into your business, Human Design & Astrology with personalised strategy Connect with Jazze:Instagram: @jazzejervis_ (DM me your biggest takeaway from this episode!)Journal Prompts from the Episode:What pattern have I been processing for months or years that's actually ready for a decision instead of more analysis?Where am I using "healing" or "inner work" to avoid taking action that feels scary but necessary?If I made one brave decision to prioritise myself today, what would that be?
