Episode Summary:
In this episode, we chat with Amy, founder of Sculpt Pilates, an online Pilates platform designed for women at home. Amy shares her journey of starting her business, the challenges she faced, and how working with a business coach helped her overcome those hurdles and scale her business. She discusses the importance of having clarity, confidence, and creativity in business, as well as her passion for strength training and balanced living. We also dive into her recent successes, including selling out a Pilates retreat, creating lead magnets that convert, and the importance of community in her business.
Key Takeaways:
1. Starting Sculpt Pilates: Amy shares how she began Sculpt Pilates, an online Pilates platform for women, with passion and enthusiasm but little strategy. She discusses how her vision evolved and the steps she took to structure her business.
2. The Importance of Business Coaching: Amy opens up about how working with a coach helped her gain clarity, improve her marketing strategy, and remove fear, which was essential in scaling her business.
3. Marketing and Lead Generation: She explains how she learned to implement lead magnets, funnel systems, and nurturing sequences, which automated parts of her business and led to increased sales without constant active engagement.
4. Confidence in Business: Amy talks about her growing confidence in business after nailing down her target market, her marketing, and lead generation processes. She’s now at a place where she feels empowered to grow her brand sustainably.
5. Diversifying Income Streams: Amy shares how she expanded her business beyond memberships to include courses, retreats, and one-on-one sessions. One of her popular offerings, a seven-week strength training course for women, has been a game-changer.
6. Retreat Success: Amy discusses the success of her recent Pilates retreat, which combined community-building, Pilates, and balance with fun activities like a pajama party. She also highlights how new participants were converted into long-term members.
7. Balanced Living Philosophy: Amy’s philosophy is all about balance. Her approach focuses on strength and well-being, without the pressure of aesthetic perfection. Her members are more focused on long-term health, strength, and enjoying life, including indulging in the occasional glass of wine or pasta dish.
8. Ongoing Evolution: As her business continues to evolve, Amy emphasizes the importance of creativity, adaptability, and keeping her content fresh to retain members and attract new ones.
Memorable Quotes from Amy:
- "You have to be internally ingrained in making your business work. Trying and failing? I’m totally okay with that."
- "When you feel clear about what you're doing, that is the most powerful thing."
- "My women are all about balance—it's about strength for life, not about having a six-pack."

Welcome to the final day of the "CEO Pathway to Scale" series, where we dive deep into creating a business that can run smoothly without constant oversight. In this episode, we explore the *CEO Systems Framework*, which focuses around systems that enable true freedom while ensuring your business remains scalable and efficient. You'll learn to streamline operations, prepare for growth, and reduce overwhelm through intentional planning, automation, and robust client experiences. Mills shares personal insights on shifting from hustle to strategic work, including her experience in setting boundaries and creating a sustainable workflow that frees up time and mental energy.
Key Takeaways:
1. Framework Essentials: The CEO Systems Framework is designed for business sustainability, allowing leads to flow, processes to run smoothly, and time off without halting operations.
2. Assessing Offers & Systems: Evaluate which parts of your client journey and systems can be automated, adjusted, or need upgrading.
3. Planning as Key to Freedom: Mills explains the value of planning, revealing how intentional content planning saves time and keeps you on track with monthly goals.
4. Future-Proofing: Prepping for team growth—whether through systems or automations—ensures seamless client experiences, even with rapid expansion.
5. Intentional Tech: Integrate only the necessary tech—like MiniChat for lead responses—to keep client interactions streamlined and impactful without feeling overwhelmed by automation.
Action Steps:
1. Audit your existing systems. What processes can be automated or delegated?
2. Set up an intentional planning session to map out content, goals, and key projects for the month ahead.
3. Consider if your client journey is set up to handle high demand, including systems for onboarding, follow-ups, and feedback.
4. Take stock of any tech you might need to add or improve, such as email marketing automations or CRM platforms.

Episode Summary:
Welcome back to Day Two of the CEO Pathway to Scale series! In this episode, we dive into one of my favourite topics – the Client Magnet Method.
This method is all about building a foundation that attracts clients who are ready to buy from you.
We’re unpacking how to ensure that your audience is not only aligned with your offerings but also eager to engage with them. If you haven’t yet caught up on Day One, be sure to go back – it’s foundational to our three-part strategy.
Today’s focus includes:
Lead Generation & Content Strategy: Key ways to organically grow your audience and set up an effective lead generation funnel.
Stacked Offers & Audience Readiness: Using stacked offers to create audience demand, with examples from live events that sell out fast.
Mistakes to Avoid: Common pitfalls like relying on repeat clients, underutilizing long-form content, or attracting the wrong audience with your messaging.
The Power of a Targeted Lead Magnet: How to craft a lead magnet that brings in quality leads, not just any leads, with real-world success stories from clients.
Content Strategy Essentials: A breakdown of how to repurpose content effectively, establish a strong presence on platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn, and nurture potential clients through long-form content.
Key Takeaways:
1. Client Magnet Method Foundations: Effective lead generation and content are essential to attracting an aligned audience.
2. Lead Magnet Strategy: Craft a lead magnet with a targeted hook that speaks directly to your ideal client’s needs.
3. Cross-Platform Content Strategy: Repurpose content wisely and nurture your audience through long-form formats such as blogs, podcasts, or Facebook groups.
4. Messaging and Ideal Client: Active listening is critical. Regularly audit your messaging to ensure it resonates with the type of clients you want to attract.
5. Intentional Selling: Prequalify potential clients through strategic conversations and content, and close more sales via direct chat.
Action Step for Listeners:
Today, audit your Instagram or main social platform. Is your messaging clear, and does it effectively direct potential clients to your lead magnet? Share your progress in my DMs instagram (@Mills_Gray), and let’s keep building momentum!
