ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Business coach Stacey Hylen has helped clients go from six to eight figures without the burnout.
In this episode she shares her "Add a Zero Without the Hustle" philosophy, the overlooked upsell strategy that grew one client's sales 48% in a single month, and how she became one of the first business coaches to build AI into her work.
Host Mike Sharp (Mike's Online Academy) sits down with Stacey - former VP of Consulting for Tony Robbins, longtime collaborator with Chet Holmes (The Ultimate Sales Machine), and author of the upcoming book Hidden Profits to unpack how small and medium businesses can grow revenue from clients they already have, instead of chasing endless new leads.
In this episode:
• Why the "BS funnel" quietly kills business growth
• The "want fries with that?" upsell — and why it works
• Resources vs. resourcefulness: the Tony Robbins recession lesson
• How one question added 48% to a client's revenue in 30 days
• Becoming an early AI adopter (the first 1% of ChatGPT users)
• Custom GPTs, the SASI framework, and using AI without losing your voice
• Lifestyle design: growing the business without sacrificing your family
