The Anatomy Of Financial Success Paperback
Quick Takeaways
Elijah Bilel explains that bestseller status is strategic—not luck
Larissa Soehn highlights the importance of marketing before launch
Writing and marketing are two completely different skill sets
Many authors fail because they ignore the marketing phase
Knowing your audience is critical to success
Fiction and non-fiction require different marketing approaches
Your first book can be a learning experience—but it should still be intentional
Books can be powerful tools for building credibility and business growth
The Truth About Becoming a Bestselling Author
One of the biggest myths this episode breaks:
👉 Becoming a bestseller is not random
Elijah Bilel explains that there are:
Marketing systems
Launch strategies
Specific actions
That can significantly increase your chances of hitting bestseller status.
The Two Phases of Writing a Book
1. Writing the Book
This includes:
Drafting
Editing
Structuring your message
Larissa Soehn had this part mastered early on.
2. Selling the Book
This is where most authors struggle.
Larissa admits that with her first book:
👉 She didn’t understand marketing
She didn’t:
Build an audience
Identify her ideal reader
Create a strong launch plan
As a result:
👉 The book didn’t reach its full potential
Why Most Authors Fail at Marketing
The biggest issue:
👉 Authors focus only on writing
But success comes from:
👉 Writing + marketing
Larissa Soehn emphasizes that:
You need an author platform
You must understand your audience
You need a marketing plan BEFORE launch
The Importance of Knowing Your Audience
A key lesson from this episode:
👉 You need to know who your book is for
Without that:
Your messaging is unclear
Your marketing is ineffective
Your sales suffer
With her second book, Larissa:
Identified her audience clearly
Positioned the book properly
Applied what she learned
And saw significantly better results.
Fiction vs Non-Fiction Marketing
One of the most interesting parts of the conversation:
👉 Marketing strategies differ based on book type
Non-Fiction
Focus on results
Highlight benefits
Show what the reader will learn
Fiction
Focus on emotion
Focus on storytelling
Focus on entertainment
The Power of Writing for Personal Growth
Larissa Soehn also shares how writing:
Helped her process emotions
Overcome personal challenges
Grow as a person
Her fiction work was deeply rooted in real-life experiences—even when set in fictional worlds.
Why Books Build Authority
For both guests, one thing is clear:
👉 A book builds credibility
Elijah Bilel uses his book to:
Establish authority
Open new opportunities
Expand his brand
And Larissa helps others do the same.

Your job is simply:
👉 Be available when they need it
How to Get Your First Clients
Mark Sias started by:

Quick Takeaways
Elijah Bilel explains why sales skills protect your income

Gig economy apps can create income—but not security
Sales is required in every business and everyday life
The best salespeople never stop improving
Not giving up is a key factor in success
Sales skills can transfer across industries
Relationships play a major role in long-term success
Why Sales Skills Matter More Than Ever
Elijah Bilel points out a major issue:
👉 Many people are making money without learning how to sell
Apps like rideshare, delivery, and freelance platforms allow people to:
Earn income quickly
Avoid learning sales
But there’s a downside:
❌ If the platform removes you, your income disappears
❌ You don’t own your customer relationships
❌ You haven’t built a transferable skill
The Freelancer Reality
Elijah shares his own experience as a video editor and freelancer.
Instead of relying on platforms like Fiverr or Upwork, Elijah:
Built relationships directly
Networked in person
Found clients through business groups and referrals
This allowed Elijah to:
👉 Keep full control over client relationships
👉 Avoid platform restrictions and fees
👉 Build a sustainable business
Sales Is Everywhere (Even If You Don’t Realize It)
Jonathan explains that sales isn’t just about business—it’s part of everyday life.
Examples include:
Convincing someone to marry you
Negotiating decisions in relationships

Jonathan Loyhayem started in sales at just 19 years old
What followed:
Rapid growth into leadership roles
Managing and training sales teams

Eventually launching his own firm
His journey highlights one key point:
👉 Sales is a skill that compounds over time
The Two Most Important Sales Skills
According to Jonathan, success in sales comes down to two things:
1. Not Giving Up
Most people fail because they quit too early.
Sales requires:
Persistence
Repetition
Handling rejection
2. Continuous Self-Improvement
Top performers are always improving:
Studying sales techniques
Learning communication skills
Practicing consistently
Jonathan emphasizes that:
👉 Skill development is what separates average from elite
Why Most People Struggle With Sales
The biggest issue:
👉 People don’t spend enough time developing their skills
They may:
Have talent
Have opportunity
But without skill development:
❌ They struggle to close deals
❌ They leave money on the table
Sales Skills Transfer Across Industries
One major insight:
Selling insurance ≠ selling real estate
Selling cars ≠ selling services
But:
👉 The core fundamentals of sales apply everywhere
Once mastered, these skills can:
Be applied across industries
Increase earning potential
Open new opportunities
The Importance of Leaving on Good Terms
Another powerful lesson from this episode:
👉 Relationships matter
Jonathan explains that leaving a company the right way:
Protects your reputation
Keeps doors open
Maintains long-term opportunities
Elijah Bilel reinforces that success is often tied to:
👉 The quality of your relationships
Key Lessons from the Episode
1. Sales = Income
If you can’t sell, you can’t earn consistently.
2. Platforms Are Temporary—Skills Are Permanent
Own your skills, not just your platform.
3. Don’t Quit Too Early
Persistence is a major differentiator.
4. Always Improve Your Skills
Growth leads to results.
5. Relationships Matter
Your network impacts your long-term success.

How To Invest For Retirement As A Freelancer Or One Person Business
Let me ask you a question: does this sound familiar?
You’ve quit your job—or maybe you’re working toward that goal—and now you’re officially in the world of self-employment. You’re putting in the work, things are starting to pick up, but there’s this quiet voice that won’t go away. At first, you could barely hear it, but now it’s crystal clear:
“What am I going to do for retirement?”
This is a real question many self-employed people start asking themselves once they realize there’s no company-sponsored 401(k) waiting for them. And while employees have at least some system in place (even if it's flawed), we freelancers have to build our own. Not in the mood to read this? Watch our video below instead!
Why Freelancers Avoid Thinking About Retirement
Let’s keep it real: when you’re running a one-person business, life is hectic. You’re managing clients, income goes up and down, and you’re focused on keeping the lights on today—not 30 years from now.
Retirement planning doesn’t feel urgent. It feels like something you’ll deal with “someday.” But here's the truth: if you don’t start thinking about it now, you may end up working well into your 70s—not by choice, but because you didn’t prepare.
And nobody wants that.
So if you’re a freelancer or a self-employed person and this is hitting home, here are three steps you can take today to start investing for your future.
Step 1: Learn About Retirement Accounts for Self-Employed People
Before you can start investing, you need to know where your money should go.
As someone who’s self-employed, you actually have access to several retirement account options built specifically for you. These include:
SEP IRA
Solo 401(k)
Traditional IRA
Roth IRA
Each of these accounts has its own rules, limits, and tax advantages. The key is to understand what each one is, how it works, and which one fits best with your business and income situation.
If you don’t know the difference between them yet, that’s your homework. Start learning about these accounts now so you’re not flying blind later. For a detail break down on the pros and cons of each retirement account in regards to freelancers or those who are self employed, check out our free " Steal My Financial Blueprint PDF written by Elijah here.
Step 2: Set a Frequency for Contributions
Once you’ve picked a retirement account, the next step is deciding how often you’ll contribute to it.
Unlike an employee, where contributions are usually automated through payroll, you’ve got to create your own system. That means asking yourself:
Will I contribute monthly?
Every time I get paid?
Once a quarter?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. It depends on how consistent your income is. But whether it’s $50 a month or a percentage of each client payment, having a set rhythm makes sure you’re investing consistently, not just when you feel like it.
Consistency is key. We broke down the best system for people who are a one person business to use in a previous article on investing. You can find that article by clicking here
Step 3: Don’t Forget About the Roth IRA
Even if you go with a SEP IRA or Solo 401(k), don’t sleep on the Roth IRA.
A Roth IRA is funded with after-tax money, and when you retire, you get to withdraw that money tax-free. That’s a big deal, especially if you expect to be in a higher tax bracket later in life.
Many people don’t even think about using a Roth IRA when they’re self-employed because they’re focused on other options. But it can be a solid piece of your retirement plan—especially when you’re first starting out and your income is still growing.
Final Thoughts
Planning for retirement as a freelancer isn’t optional—it’s essential. Even though there’s no employer setting things up for you, that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. You just have to take a more active role.
Let’s recap:
Learn about self-employed retirement accounts (SEP IRA, Solo 401(k), Traditional IRA, Roth IRA)
Set a consistent contribution schedule
Don’t forget about the Roth IRA—it has unique long-term benefits
You don’t have to know everything today. Just take that first step. Get educated, set a rhythm, and start building your future.
You’ve already taken control of your career—now take control of your retirement too.

SHS019: How To Maximize Customer Retention In A Business With Irina Poddubnaia From Trackmage
Intro
Customer retention is one of the most overlooked aspects of building a successful business.
While many entrepreneurs focus heavily on acquiring new customers, fewer understand how much more valuable it is to keep the customers they already have.

This conversation highlights why long-term growth isn’t just about getting more customers—but getting more value from each one.

Quick Takeaways
Elijah Bilel breaks down customer retention strategies
Irina Poddubnaia explains how LTV drives long-term growth
Retaining customers is often more profitable than acquiring new ones
Automation can increase revenue without increasing workload
Post-purchase experience is a major opportunity for upsells
Surveys don’t always reflect real buying behavior
Testing demand with real purchase intent is more effective
Building an audience first makes selling easier
Systems and processes are key to scaling
What Is Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)?
Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) represents:
👉 The total amount a customer is expected to spend with your business over time
Elijah Bilel explains that many businesses fail to maximize this by:
Only selling once
Not offering additional products or services
Ignoring existing customers
Why Customer Retention Matters
Irina Poddubnaia highlights that:
A returning customer is significantly more likely to buy again
Repeat purchases increase profitability without additional acquisition costs
Retention is the foundation of long-term business growth
The Problem Most Businesses Have
Many entrepreneurs:
Focus only on getting new customers
Ignore existing customers
Leave money on the table
This creates:
❌ Lower revenue per customer
❌ Higher marketing costs
❌ Slower business growth
The Power of Post-Purchase Experience
Irina built her software, TrackMage, around one key idea:
👉 What happens after the sale matters just as much as the sale itself
Her system helps businesses:
Track orders
Send follow-ups
Request reviews
Upsell additional products
All automatically
Why Automation Changes Everything
Before SaaS tools:
Businesses relied on spreadsheets
Communication was manual
Processes were inefficient
Now:
Systems handle follow-ups
Upsells happen automatically
Customer experience improves
This allows business owners to focus on growth instead of operations.
Customer Retention vs Customer Acquisition
A major takeaway from this episode:
👉 It’s easier to sell to an existing customer than a new one
Irina explains that:
First-time buyers are harder to convert
Repeat customers already trust you
Each additional purchase increases overall LTV
Do Surveys Actually Work?
Irina challenges a common strategy:
👉 Surveys don’t always reflect real buying behavior
People may say:
“Yes, I’d buy this product”
But:
👉 That doesn’t mean they actually will
A Better Way to Test Demand
Instead of surveys, Irina suggests:
Create a sales page
Let people attempt to purchase
Measure real intent
If people try to buy:
👉 You have demand
This method is far more accurate than opinions alone.
Build the Audience First
One of the most important insights:
👉 Start with the audience, not the product
Elijah Bilel reinforces that:
Audience = built-in customers
You can gather feedback directly
You reduce the risk of failure
Real-World Business Insight
Irina Poddubnaia’s experience includes:
Running fulfillment operations in China
Building internal systems from scratch
Turning those systems into SaaS products
This gives her a unique perspective on:
👉 Both operations AND scalability
Key Lessons from the Episode
1. Retention > Acquisition (Long-Term)
Focus on maximizing value from each customer.
2. Automate What You Can
Systems allow you to scale without burning out.
3. Test Demand with Real Behavior
Don’t rely on opinions—track actions.
4. Build an Audience First
Selling becomes easier when trust already exists.

How A One Person Business Owner Can Start Investing To Build Wealth
You’ve Left the 9-to-5 — What’s Next?
If you’ve clicked on this article, chances are you’ve either already left the traditional 9-to-5 life or you’re planning to. You’ve stepped into the world of being self-employed—a one-person business.
You’ve probably invested a lot of time and money into yourself to learn a trade, build a skillset, or launch your freelance service. And that investment is starting to pay off. You’re making more money. Business is moving.
But then you take a step back… and realize you haven’t been building your asset column. This is Elijah Bilel from The Side Hustler's Society and lets deep dive into it.
Not in the mood to read? Check out the video version of this below!
The Missing Piece: Building Assets That Work for You
You’ve invested in yourself—and that’s a great first step. But now it’s time to think about investing in something else: assets that generate income on their own.
These are investments that allow your money to work for you, so you’re not always trading time for dollars.
Unfortunately, many freelancers and self-employed people delay this. They keep pouring money back into their business or personal development, which is important—but never shift into true wealth-building.
Let’s fix that.
Step 1: Open a Brokerage Account
The first step to start investing is simple: open a brokerage account.
Without it, you can’t buy stocks, ETFs, or any other investment assets. This is your gateway to building that asset column.
There are plenty of platforms available today—some are beginner-friendly with mobile apps and automation tools built-in. You don’t need to overcomplicate it. The important thing is just to open the account so you have the ability to invest when you're ready. I use and recommend M1 Finance because of their ability to reinvest dividends into my entire portfolio automatically instead of just the paying stock. If you want to check out M1 Finance, click here.
Step 2: Speak With a Financial Advisor or Watch My Video
Once you’ve got a brokerage account open, your next move is to get educated. For some people, that means sitting down with a financial advisor who can walk you through what investing looks like.
For others—especially those just getting started—you can begin by watching my video on investing, which I’ve linked below.
It breaks down how investing works in simple terms and gives you the context you need to make smart decisions with your money.
Either way, the key is to build understanding before blindly jumping in.
Step 3: Use Weekly Percentage Investing
This is a game-changer—especially if your income fluctuates as a freelancer.
Instead of investing a flat amount every time (which may not always be realistic), use a weekly percentage-based system. Here’s how it works:
Pick a percentage of your income—say 5% or 10%
Every week, calculate your total earnings
Invest that percentage consistently, no matter what
This method removes the stress of trying to “time” the market or over-commit financially. It allows you to build the habit of investing consistently, even if your income isn’t exactly the same every week.
Recap: The 3-Step Investing Blueprint for Freelancers or The One Person Business Owner
Here’s a quick summary of how to start investing as a freelancer or one-person business:
Open a brokerage account – This gives you the ability to invest in assets like stocks and ETFs.
Speak to a financial advisor or watch my investing video – Get clear on what you're doing and why.
Use weekly percentage investing – Invest a set percentage of your income every week to stay consistent.
Final Thoughts
If you're serious about building wealth outside of your business, these three steps will help you get started without overwhelm. I also cover additional information about the different types of accounts that can be used for investing in my PDF Steal My Financial Blueprint. You can download this document for free here.
You’ve already taken control of your career—now it’s time to take control of your finances.
