Hello Seven Podcast

Cecilia runs a financial services firm with clients earning anywhere from $100K to $10 million. 

Her biggest clients (the ones paying her the most) want her to handle their accounts receivable and accounts payable. The problem? She wants out of that work entirely, even though it makes up half her revenue.

In this episode of In The Room, Rachel breaks down what's actually going on. Spoiler: it's not the service. It's how Cecilia is showing up as a CEO.

If you've ever felt like you're the bottleneck in your own business, this one's for you.

What we cover: 
How to spot when you're avoiding the work that would actually scale your business Why "honesty is kind" when leading a team The boundary work most CEOs skip with both their team and their messy clients Why your second star employee takes way less time to train than your first How to stop being the person every client calls

Join us for the world premiere of The Rachel Rodgers Show 👉  helloseven.co/premiere 

I have been pitching this show for years. Every network you can think of. Lots of interest, nothing happened. So I went to Lisbon and filmed it myself.

This BTS video shows you what that actually looked like. And more importantly, it shows you the people we found along the way.

An American Black woman who moved to Portugal and through serendipity bought a wellness business in the heart of a historic neighborhood. A Cape Verdean man who started with hotel rooms and flyers and got chased by dogs, and now runs a high end art gallery showcasing incredible African art. An activist and screen printer running a whole operation out of his apartment, building something real with whatever he had.

This show is not about billionaires in boardrooms. It is not the same five celebrity entrepreneurs on every podcast. It is about the Global Majority. The small business owners, dreamers, and doers actually building real wealth around the world.

On June 1st, The Rachel Rodgers Show has its world premiere at the historic Angelika Film Center in New York City. Tickets are almost gone.

What happened to Hanifa isn't just a customer service story. It's a warning.
When a Black woman founder's preorder sale blew up beyond what her team could handle, customers didn't just complain. They piled on. For months. And now she's pausing operations entirely.

I'm not here to debate whether the frustration was valid. I'm here to talk about what that pile-on actually costs. Not just her, but all of us.

In this video I'm breaking down the real structural forces working against women entrepreneurs every day: the capital gap, the gender punishment gap, the Amazonification of customer expectations, and a form of coordinated online harm called economic vandalism that researchers say is almost exclusively aimed at women-owned businesses.

When we publicly drag small businesses owned by Black women, we are directly making the gender and wealth gaps larger. 

Watch to the end because I'm laying out exactly what we can do differently and what it actually looks like to support the women building the world we say we want.

I'm hosting Future Proof, a one-day virtual workshop where you will rebuild your offer, your marketing, and walk away with a complete 90-day plan built for this economy. To be part of it, apply now. (It takes 2 minutes)

What if making $100K in 60 days isn't actually about strategy? It's about deciding you're going to do it. I've done it. I put a house under contract with 60 days to come up with the deposit and no real plan. And I figured it out. Not because I had some secret formula, but because I had no other choice. And once I did it, I realized making money is a skill. A learnable one.

In this video I'm walking you through the exact three part framework I used: mindset, offer, and marketing. You'll learn what a million dollar offer actually looks like, how to price it, and how to run the numbers so you know exactly what it takes to hit your goal. Whether you're going for $3K or the full $100K, the formula is the same.

Watch to the end because I'm giving you my full step by step breakdown so you can run this challenge yourself.
