 Hello, beautiful humans. Welcome back to Moneymaker Monday. Obviously, I'm Sarah Beth Herman, and if you're hearing this right now, you have made it to week 15, 15 weeks of listening to Moneymaker Monday and week 14 of Blueprint to Breakthrough. You have been walking this path with me every Monday, even if it was messy or you didn't feel like showing up or you didn't have time to listen.

Even if you felt unsure, even if some weeks were just slower than others, you still showed up. And I wanna be the first to say that I'm proud of you. There's a strength in showing up consistently that most people don't talk about, but we talk about it here because that's what real growth looks like. It's not perfect, but powerful.

This week, we're pulling all the pieces together, all the strategies, the mindset work, the content, the systems, the tools, and we're creating something sustainable, clear, and uniquely yours. This is where your blueprint finally becomes the business that you've been building in your mind, in your notebook, in your notion, in your heart, on your paper, and now it's time to bring it to life, all of it.

Let's celebrate what you've accomplished. Before we jump forward, I want us to take a good, honest look back. We're often in such a rush to get to the next step that we forget what we've already done. But this week you're gonna pause, reread your notes, flip through all of the notes in your mind, all of the apps on your phone, all of the emails that we've sent out.

You're gonna open up the documents that you've been editing on late night. Because you've done more than you realize. Here's a list of what I think you've done. You've built real value for your audience by clarifying your message and standing behind what you offer. You've documented your SOPs so your business doesn't live only in your head, you've dug deep into your mindset.

Let's not forget the work we did, reframing, limiting beliefs and learning how to crave real results. You've created digital products that don't just make money. They serve people. You've grown as a leader, not just in how you show up for others, but in how you show up for you. You've built your marketing and PR foundation, even if it felt overwhelming at first.

You've tackled SEO and third party tools, things that may have felt intimidating, but now they feel like second nature. You've learned how to sell in a way that feels aligned. With confidence, not pressure. You've increased your financial understanding and become the kind of CEO who knows her numbers or knows his numbers, and to me, that's transformation.

Don't downplay it. This isn't just building a business, it's becoming a new version of yourselves. More equipped, more aware, more powerful. You weren't born to shrink yourself to fit in. You were born to rise. And  if you've read any of the books I've read, Jamie Kern and Lima said that one, that quote lives here in this week.

You didn't come this far to just coast, you came to rise, and that means making all of this work together.

There was a time I almost quit when I first stepped into mentorship. It honestly just found me. People started asking me how I built what I built. You're a five time CEO. You've built multiple eight figure businesses. You've sold businesses. Wait, what? How'd you do it?

And I thought to myself, well, maybe, I guess this is something I can teach. So I launched my first mentor program. It had a different name than what you know it as today. And I charge $9 a week for weekly sessions. It was amazing until it wasn't. I lost purpose in it. I couldn't see the long-term vision because I hadn't fully figured out why I was doing it.

The strategy felt unclear. I didn't know how to make people feel like they belonged in that space. I also didn't really know why I was charging $9 a week, and I didn't really have people who cared about showing up. It ended up being this session where people just complained about business and we weren't really talking through it, so I stopped.

I let it go for a year, and I really can't even say that I let it go because I did have six or seven mentor clients at the time that were paying me a monthly amount that was much different than $9 a week, but they were paying me to mentor them, and so what I really set down was the group session, and when I came back to it, I was on fire.

I felt the pull. Again, I started connecting with people and placing myself with others that would either generate more conversations, lead to different client acquisition methods. I had to learn. I had to grow. I had to feel ready to build a program that mattered, and then something happened that nearly stopped me again.

I connected with someone who I thought was supportive, but as I started sharing my ideas, I began to see them being repeated social media captions, the way I wrote, even the phrasing I used word for word. It was like I was watching my voice live on someone else's pages. It was like I was being swallowed whole, like every idea I had was suddenly up for grabs and I had nothing left that was mine.

Now, the world thought that this person had thought of all of that. I almost quit again. I almost shut down the whole thing, but I had people relying on me. I had one-on-one clients. I had momentum, and most importantly, I had to remember that no one can replicate my heart. My husband looked at me in the eye and he said, it doesn't matter if someone copies your ideas.

They can't implement like you. They don't have your fire, your intention, your purpose, your history, your experience. And I guess that's when it changed for me. I began reminding myself every day a statement that I say literally almost every day, if not every day, what's meant for me will always be for me.

And no one can stop that. No one can come in the way of what's already on its way.

So as we near the end of this program, I want that to stick with you. So how do we take what you've learned in this course and help you see what your blueprint really looks like in real life? What really does this blueprint in motion actually look like? I. I believe for the entry level business owner, you've built your first offer.

You know who your audience is. You're running your business off of simple workflow and showing up consistently online. That's your blueprint for the business that's growing. You're finally automating. You've learned how to write SOPs. Maybe you've even hired help. Your sales have increased. You're starting to feel more confident in the role of being a leader.

For the scaling, CEO, you're thinking legacy. You're mapping out quarterly plans. Your marketing is working while you sleep, you're expanding your team, testing ads, focusing on conversion data.  This is what the blueprint looks like when it lives outside of you and systems structure and a team that carries it forward.

This is the transformation that you have been working toward. Remember in week five when we talked about craving results and not just setting goals and working on sales in a totally different mindset. That's now part of your daily rhythm. In week nine, we talked about the power of digital products, and now they live inside your funnel.

In week 12, we brought back selling, but selling with integrity. And that's how you show up every single time you pitch. These aren't just past episodes, they're foundational layers in your growth. And I'm gonna encourage you to go back to other episodes. Listen, learn, take notes, try to learn just one thing that you can carry with you, the real CEO challenge.

This week. I want you to choose one. No  matter what level you're in, I want you to pick one,

film, a 62nd video pitching your offer, . I wanna see it, post it in our chat so I can see what you're pitching, how you're pitching, and let's help you refine that pitch to audit your brand. Would you buy from you today? Why? Why not? Schedule 30 minutes with yourself to Vision cast the next six months, 30 minutes you a piece of paper and a good old fashioned number two pencil.

Before we end today's episode, I wanna go through a guided visualization. So close your eyes if you can, and just take a deep breath in.

Imagine this. It's six months from now, you are waking up knowing your business is running because you built it too. You're confident in your strategy. Your content connects. Sales are consistent. Your team supports your vision. You don't feel pulled in a hundred different directions anymore. You feel calm, clear, called you open your laptop, not out of pressure.

But out of passion, that's what we're building. That's what's waiting on the other side of this blueprint, your breakthrough that gets here two weeks from now,

this week, I want you to remember that a clear plan doesn't just create clarity, it creates momentum. Every week you choose to submit your wins and goals. You are choosing to write down and claim what's meant for you, what's happened to you, what you're working on in your strategy, in your voice, and in your next step, hold confidence.

You've done the work. Now it's time to make the work, work together. You're no longer in the building phase. You are in the vision casting phase. Be the leader your business needs. Today, I'll leave you with this. You didn't just show up, you stayed, and that's what matters. Stay focused, stay grounded, stay you.

We are almost to the finish line. And remember what's meant for  you will always be for you.
