What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak? What are the questions we're going to ask each other? What was life like at the dinner table when you were growing up? What are we really trying to accomplish? How do you have this cogent two sentence explanation of what you do? How many clicks can we get per visit? What would happen if there was a webpage that was designed to get you to leave? What were the questions that were being asked by people in authority at Yahoo in 1999? How did the stock do today? Is anything broken? What can you do today that will make the stock go up tomorrow? What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…

Today, I’m diving into the three most important sales assets every online business needs. These are the assets that drive conversions, build trust, and ultimately make sales easier. I recently did a VIP session with a client where we mapped out her offers, value ladder, pricing, positioning, and everything in between. After hours of conversation, we realized that her biggest priority was creating three key sales assets—ones that many entrepreneurs either overlook or don't invest in properly. In this episode, I’m breaking down each one, why it matters, and how to approach it strategically.…
I’ve had a major epiphany about social media strategy: despite never calling myself a “social media strategist,” I’ve realized how crucial audience building is for my clients and me. In this episode, I explain why a balanced combo of inbound (people coming to me through content and funnels) and outbound (actively reaching out, DMing, commenting) is the key to steady growth—even if you have fewer than 1,000 followers. I also share how I make my inbound marketing as efficient as possible so I can focus on personal connections. You’ll learn how I juggle multiple platforms, leverage quick copywriting, and use AI without getting stuck in perfectionism. Most importantly, I dive into why building a real, human audience matters more than ever as AI content and avatars multiply. Join me to discover practical, stress-free ways to grow your visibility and turn a small following into a big impact. Let’s do this!…
In this episode of Million Dollar Grit, I dive into the idea of “you can do hard things” and share my personal journey of pushing through fear and failure. I explain how this phrase, once used to downplay my fears—whether it was going to the dentist or facing physical pain—felt dismissive, even as I struggled with my own anxiety and low tolerance for pain. I recount how I transformed my approach to working out by starting with a tiny, manageable goal: five minutes of hip drops while brushing my teeth. That small commitment snowballed into a consistent routine, proving that even when every part of you is telling you to stop, you can still move forward by taking one small step at a time. Join me as I reframe this familiar mantra into a call for persistence, inviting you to find that one daily action that, despite the odds, helps you overcome your hurdles and keeps you moving toward your next success.…
In this episode of Million Dollar Grit, we dive into a topic that’s more relevant than ever: the power of community. With AI and rapid technological shifts leveling the playing field, your followers, your platform, and your loyal audience might be the only lasting competitive edge. But what if you lost them all? Join me as I reveal the exact steps I’d take to rebuild my community from the ground up: whether it’s an email list, a Facebook group, or your Instagram followers.…
I will always remember January 21st because today is the first day I got on a call with a lead and when I asked her “How do you hear about me?” she said…. ChatGPT. 🤯 More specifically… “I use ChatGPT as my coach right now and when I asked for a business mentor to help me scale, it gave me your name. I went to your website and filled out the contact form.” After I picked my jaw up off the floor… I asked ChatGPT how it came to recommend me specifically. It expressly told me it was not because of web searching, but because it had gotten to know me and my strengths over time as a coach and saw me as a good fit for this lead. The implications of this are stunning. I did a deep dive podcast into my convo that followed with ChatGPT, my insights, and what I think was going on. Most importantly, what to do about it. And if you want to have more discussions about this, check out my invite here --> https://juliechenell.kit.com/posts/an-invite-to-an-insider-conversation…
In this episode of Million Dollar Grit, I dive into the 10 most common pricing mistakes that can really undermine your business—everything from picking “standard” price tags you see floating around (hello, $497 and $997) to ignoring the real value and friction your customers face. I’ll show you why customer research can be misleading, how to think carefully about your payment plan options, and why it’s critical to factor in your profit and cost of goods (yes, digital products too!). Whether you’re underpricing out of fear or slapping on a “luxury” label without the premium experience to match, you’ll learn how to avoid the pitfalls and set a price that truly works for you and your audience. Tune in, and let’s get your pricing on point!…
In this episode, I’m sharing the existential angst I’m feeling as AI developments flood my feed and spark the sense that everything is about to change. I draw a parallel to the birth of the internet (though I believe AI’s impact will be even greater!) and break down how we can think of AI in three levels: using it, building with it, and teaching others to do the same. I explore why this technology is crucial for everyone—whether you’re a marketer, a therapist, or just someone curious about the future—and offer reassurance that we’re still in the early days. Tune in to hear how AI might reshape entire industries, why it’s time to pay attention, and what you can do to stay ahead of the curve.…
In this episode, I dive into the concept of “resistance” and how it shows up in my life—especially when it comes to writing my book. I share my journey from years of procrastination to discovering AI tools that help me outline my thoughts, and yet still finding myself avoiding the actual work. If you’ve ever struggled to move forward on a passion project or creative endeavor, I hope my real-life confessions and breakthroughs inspire you to push past your own resistance.…
I got married this weekend... concluding 10 months of planning into one 7 hour event at our home in Guilford Connecticut. It's no secret that wedding planning is s huge to-do, though it's a lot like any event I suppose... just with a whole bunch of specific cultural and societal rituals baked in. Sitting on the porch this morning, I realized that I was not rushed. Such an odd sensation to feel since the legal and logistical details of getting married at this stage in life and business, coupled with hosting the event at home (including the before and after parties), meant that Ac and I have been grinding hard for the majority of 2024. I posted photos and videos out on social - you can see the dress, the venue, the cake, all the things... But here and now... today I want to talk about some of the less obvious lessons I've picked up along the way.…
I've had an estimated 100 meaningful conversations with business owners in the last month. The majority of these are my private clients, but I took trips to Providence and New York in September, and spent time with folks from other circles as well. I never ceased to be amazed by how much we think we're unique in our circumstances, when it's clear there are so many common patterns and headaches among us. Between ages, markets, niches, cities -- I can say this with reasonable certainty -- whatever you're facing, there are thousands of other people in your exact same shoes. So what were the patterns I picked up on? That's what I want to share with you today. A written version of this is available here. https://ckarchive.com/b/v8u3hrhx62k5mulq229q5svl7w0llf9…
Hey there! In this episode, I’m tackling a big topic that’s been popping up in my Voxer chats with tons of different business owners. As we wrap up August, it’s clear that this year has been a tough one financially for many. With the economy shifting and a typical summer slowdown, it’s no wonder things feel a bit unsettling right now. I’m noticing two major patterns: Pattern #1: Some folks are using the same old strategies—emails, launches, and so on—but their results are falling short. Pattern #2: Meanwhile, others are having their best launches ever, even as they see others struggling. I don’t have all the answers yet, but in this episode, I dive into why your launches might not be hitting the mark and why that doesn’t mean all is lost. I’ll share why it's super important not to get stuck in a doom loop and how staying creative and gritty can help you turn things around. As always, if you need a coach, reach out on Instagram @juliecchenell or by email at Julie@juliechenell.com.…

July is the sloggiest month in business. And every year, despite knowing this fact, I start to panic. Things are slow. People are quiet. There isn't a lot of action. I feel tired and unmotivated. I'm not sure what my revenue is going to be this month. Why can't I get anything done even though the kids are at camp? Every single year, it is the same. But here is an important lesson I learned!…
