Welcome to 2026!If you’ve felt like things are all over the place lately — especially if you run a service business online — you are not alone. The pace of change right now is enough to make anyone feel fried.So to ring in 2026, I thought I’d spend January sharing some of my observations about larger trends in the business world, and how those are likely to impact small business owners, especially those selling their services and expertise, this year. First up, let's talk about one of the biggest and most distracting trends for business owners right now: AI.I’m not saying AI is a trend that’s going to die anytime soon, or ever. But I see too many business owners distracted with AI, trying to make it work and failing to actually grow their business. So let’s dig into what AI is actually going to be useful for, and where it can just be another shiny object that doesn’t move the needle for your business.Tune into this episode to hear:* Why AI is making a lot of businesses busier, but not more profitable* The difference between efficiency and effectiveness (and why it matters)* Where AI is genuinely helpful and where it robs you of your authority* A behind-the-scenes story of how I tried to use AI to write my next book… and why I ultimately had to stop* What the real differentiators are right nowResources:* Get on the Early Readers List (https://www.piasilva.com/book)* No BS Clients Lab (https://go.nobsagencies.com/no-bs-clients-lab/)* No BS Agencies Mastery (https://www.nobsagencies.com/program)* The Price to Freedom Calculator™ (https://www.nobsagencies.com/freedom)* No BS Agency Owners Free Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/nobsagencyowners)* Start reading the first chapter of my book (https://www.piasilva.com/ch1)* Piasilva.com (https://www.piasilva.com/)

I have a very special holiday treat for you!I am sharing my full conversation with Seth Godin from o...

A lot of us are feeling uncertainty heading into 2026. As humans, we like certainty. We want to feel like we have control over our lives. Not knowing what’s coming can be scary as hell. Things are all over the place right now, politically, economically, you name it, and if that’s making it feel extra hard to be a business owner right now, that’s fair and your feelings are valid. But we’re not in a full-on apocalyptic collapse, which means we do have the opportunity to put ourselves in the best possible position to make sales, even when some clients are feeling hesitant.Today, I want to talk about how I’m approaching all this uncertainty, and share some thoughts on where to double down when everything feels up in the air.Tune into this episode to hear:* Why I’m leaning into the fundamentals of marketing my business* Why sometimes you just have to take a less-than-ideal client or project* Why you need a clear action plan, even when the future feels extra unpredictableResources:* No BS Clients Lab (https://go.nobsagencies.com/no-bs-clients-lab/)* No BS Agencies Mastery (https://www.nobsagencies.com/program)* The Price to Freedom Calculator™ (https://www.nobsagencies.com/freedom)* No BS Agency Owners Free Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/nobsagencyowners)* Start reading the first chapter of my book (https://www.piasilva.com/ch1)* Piasilva.com (https://www.piasilva.com/)

I want to make the case for building your authority as essential to surviving and thriving as AI tools become more and more prevalent and sophisticated. Your ability to think and communicate critically and strategically is what will continue to set you apart from everyone else. How you communicate and build your authority in online spaces is also rapidly changing, and as much as I hate to say it, I don’t have a magic bullet answer for you. So rather than pretending I know what’s coming and how to respond, I’m going to share how I’m approaching authority building strategy for now and the foreseeable future, knowing the tactics can and will change, but that authority is more vital than ever.Tune into this episode to hear:* Why authority content is so vital for expertise-based service providers* How AI is making us more skeptical and human interactions even more important* Why investing in your referral network and relationships is going to be key to maintaining your pipeline* The myth of forever consistency in your business* How the purpose of online authority content is evolvingMentioned:* E. 245: Selena Soo: Build Rich Relationships, Not Just a Network (https://www.piasilva.com/show-notes/245-selena-soo)* Rich Relationships: Create a Million-Dollar Network for Your Business* Ryan Levesque (https://ryanlevesque.net/)* E. 219: Eleanor Hancock on Making the Big Leap, Changing Everything in Their Business, and Finding the Most Valuable Piece of Any Client Project (https://www.piasilva.com/show-notes/219-eleanor-hancock)* Number 75 Design (https://www.number75design.com/)Resources:* No BS Clients Lab (https://go.nobsagencies.com/no-bs-clients-lab/)* No BS Agencies Mastery (https://www.nobsagencies.com/program)* The Price to Freedom Calculator™ (https://www.nobsagencies.com/freedom)* No BS Agency Owners Free Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/nobsagencyowners)* Start reading the first chapter of my book (https://www.piasilva.com/ch1)* Piasilva.com (https://www.piasilva.com/)

What does it really take to become an authority in your space?If you’ve ever wondered why building authority feels slow, confusing, or downright impossible sometimes, this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.In this first installment of a two-part mini-series, I’m pulling back the curtain on my 10+ year journey of building authority — what worked, what didn’t, what took way longer than I expected, and the uncomfortable truths I’ve learned from teaching authority to hundreds of business owners.And yes… some of it might be hard to hear. It was hard to say. But it needs to be said.Tune into this episode to hear:* The four different types of authority and why they each matter* How I accidentally built authority in my early years (and why it worked)* The real timeline it takes to be seen as an expert in your industry* Why experience, reps, and client work matter more than any social media hack* The gritty truth about pricing, expertise, and the limits of short-cutting* Why building authority is still one of the best long-term investments you can makeResources:* No BS Clients Lab (https://go.nobsagencies.com/no-bs-clients-lab/)* No BS Agencies Mastery (https://www.nobsagencies.com/program)* The Price to Freedom Calculator™ (https://www.nobsagencies.com/freedom)* No BS Agency Owners Free Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/nobsagencyowners)* Start reading the first chapter of my book (https://www.piasilva.com/ch1)* Piasilva.com (https://www.piasilva.com/)

All this month, I’ve been getting real about the changes that are happening in my business.There have been so many decisions to be made about how to market, how to design offers, and how I can best help people really do the thing I’m teaching them to do. Here’s the thing, I don’t really think of myself as a coach, even though I’ve been in the coaching industry for years. I tend to think of myself as a consultant, a guide, or a teacher because I focus on tactics and strategies in our programs. And we have other people do a lot of the “real” coaching.But even though I don’t call myself a coach, I’m part of this industry. And I have a lot to say about what sucks about it and the big misconceptions people get sold about it.Today I dig into why coaching isn’t just showing up, giving advice, and collecting enrollment fees in your sleep. Helping people get what they want and achieve their goals is actually one of the hardest–but most rewarding–things I’ve ever done.Tune into this episode to hear:* The behind-the-scenes practical and emotional labor that goes into coaching* Why coaching is extra challenging if you’ve got even the slightest control freak tendencies* How the coaching industry can take teaching radical responsibility to toxic places* The moments that keep me coming back to teaching, even with the industry’s issues Mentioned:* The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen R.

As we’re making big changes in the business, I’m reworking our marketing language and it is bringing up all sorts of feelings for me. I’ve internally struggled with marketing throughout my career. I want to give people all the nuance behind what I’m offering, but nuance doesn’t tend to fit into an attention-grabbing soundbite. And then I get into my head about it, worrying that I’m somehow adding the culture of crap marketing for snake oil even though I have tons of evidence that our methods really do get results for people.Sound familiar? You’re not alone. So let’s talk about it.Tune into this episode to hear:* The challenge I had with Blueprint to 30K Months (and why it works)* What I learned about getting people’s attention from my stint in real estate* Why I get tied up in knots about creating messaging that nuanced or punchy* The comments from trolls that still live rent-free in my head* The mindset that I’m working to carry forward through these big changesMentioned:* Michelle Mazur (@drmichellemazur) (https://www.instagram.com/drmichellemazur/)* Duped Podcast (https://pod.link/1562877811?view=apps&sort=popularity)* E. 25: What's Possible: Stop Trading Dollars For Hours And Start Scaling Your Business With Confidence And Clarity Featuring Rachael Won (https://www.piasilva.com/show-notes/25-rachael-wonderlin)* Rachael Wonderlin (@cant_hustleanyharder) (https://www.instagram.com/cant_hustleanyharder/)Resources:* No BS Clients Lab (https://go.nobsagencies.com/no-bs-clients-lab/)* No BS Agencies Mastery (https://www.nobsagencies.com/program)* The Price to Freedom Calculator™ (https://www.nobsagencies.com/freedom)* No BS Agency Owners Free Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/nobsagencyowners)* Start reading the first chapter of my book (https://www.piasilva.com/ch1)* Piasilva.com (https://www.piasilva.com/)

Building a business is not always sunshine and roses. There are hard decisions and challenges, and sometimes the hardest part of all is dealing with the trash talk in our own heads.Last month, I told you about the No BS Clients Lab, but that’s not the only shift in our business that’s coming down the pipeline. I’m super excited about the direction we’re going, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t also really scared.Over the next few episodes, I’m going to share with you how the business is evolving and all the worries, fears, and challenges that come with it. I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what I’m working on and grappling with because even with a business that is, for all intents and purposes, successful, there are mindsets and habits of being that are hard to shake and I have them too.I hope it will be helpful for you to hear about some of the raw, unfiltered trash that still comes up for me, even after years of work. Because we all deal with this stuff and you’re not alone in your fears and struggles.Tune into this episode to hear:* What we did wrong when creating our first course, the Brandup Bootcamp* Why we decided not to scale an online course* Why I’ve hesitated to teach the No BS processes to business owners who aren’t doing branding* How I’m expanding my niche* The big fears about changing my business that I’m confronting, even as I’m excited Resources:* No BS Clients Lab (https://go.nobsagencies.com/no-bs-clients-lab/)* No BS Agencies Mastery (https://www.nobsagencies.com/program)* The Price to Freedom Calculator™ (https://www.nobsagencies.com/freedom)* No BS Agency Owners Free Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/nobsagencyowners)* Start reading the first chapter of my book (https://www.piasilva.com/ch1)* Piasilva.com (https://www.piasilva.com/)

In June, I made the executive decision to do something bold (and maybe a little crazy) with my business.In the previous episode, I dug into how the business has evolved from being an agency to teaching and supporting agency owners as they implement the model we developed. And I talked about when and how I realized that No BS Agencies Mastery needed to make a bold move.In this episode, I dive into the details of our new offer, why we designed the way we did, and why anyone who’s hustling to get more premium clients needs to come check out the No BS Clients Lab and join us.Tune into this episode to hear:* The lightbulb moment when I realized I was teaching a process I wasn’t using for myself* The fears I had to overcome about this my business decision* Why I took the leap to share the LP process more widely* Who the No BS Clients Lab is for, what it teaches, and what’s included* How this process builds skills and authority that AI can’t compete withResources:* No BS Clients Lab (https://go.nobsagencies.com/no-bs-clients-lab/)* No BS Agencies Mastery (https://www.nobsagencies.com/program)* The Price to Freedom Calculator™ (https://www.nobsagencies.com/freedom)* No BS Launchpad (https://www.nobsagencies.com/launchpad)* No BS Agency Owners Free Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/nobsagencyowners)* Start reading the first chapter of my book (https://www.piasilva.com/ch1)* Piasilva.com (https://www.piasilva.com/)
